Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Ah Fu, supporting himself against his chest, kissed him on the lips and said—

"Is that not allowed?"

The maid seems to have become a bit more proactive, probably because she knows she's now the mistress of the house and has gained some confidence? Anyway, even though she was much more capable than Chen Ming before, she wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on him.

She might still act like a little maid in public, but now that it's just the two of them being affectionate, she can be a bit bolder.

He smiled and said—

"Of course you can. You can't refuse to call me that even if you don't want to. You're going to be my wife for life, where else can you run off to? You trespassing maid."

I gently pinched her little nose, feeling boundless affection in my heart.

Afu shrank back, looked at him cautiously, and said—

"It is permissible for maids who accompany a bride to her room to share a bed; this is in accordance with the rules."

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile—

"However, isn't it a bit strange that you would so casually become Dong Yi's dowry maid? It's rather despicable for a sword immortal grandmaster to deceive Dong Yi, who is naive."

"Waaah..."

Afu shrank back slightly, but her arms remained tightly wrapped around the man in front of her, and she said—

"Well, since things are already like this, there's no need to scrutinize the minor details so much..."

"Playing tricks."

Chen Ming tapped her little head.

However, he wouldn't delve into the details. After all, what A-Fu said about the dowry was absurd, and if he were a true gentleman, he wouldn't agree to such a thing.

He had feelings for her from the very beginning.

From the moment she arrived at the shop in her simple school uniform, he was drawn to her and couldn't help but lend her a helping hand. When she came to him and said she wanted to bring her dowry, he was overjoyed.

Such a wonderful fate is rare in this world. How could he not be moved that a sword immortal master would condescend to such a degree for him?

He said—

"Anyway, you'll have to pay the price for doing this. You'll be my maid and wife for life."

"That would be the best."

Afu smiled sweetly.

Chen Ming suddenly said—

"Speaking of which, I feel like I get stronger every time I have sex with everyone. At first, I didn't feel it because my strength was low, but now I'm starting to feel something's wrong."

"Ah, this..."

Afu's smile froze on his face, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Chen Ming revealed a dangerous smile, cupped her cheeks, and said—

"My dear maid, can you tell me what's going on?"

"This...this...I..."

Afu's gray eyes darted away in alarm; it seemed she could no longer hide the fact that she had used her wicked thoughts to make her husband a dual cultivator.

Seeing that Afu was stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence, Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and said—

“Look me in the eye, A-Fu.”

"Waaah..."

Afu's eyes welled up with tears, her gray eyes trembling like a frightened little rabbit in his hand as he stared at her, her heart pounding with anxiety as she spoke—

"I'm so sorry, I accidentally... I just..."

"So you turned your master, your husband, your lover into a dual cultivation physique?"

Chen Ming had already guessed it, but he never expected that his seemingly timid little maid would do something so astonishing to him.

"I'm sorry, I was just momentarily blinded by greed."

Afu apologized honestly, but still defended himself by saying—

"Actually, cultivating the mind, alchemy, and dual cultivation are all orthodox cultivation methods. I've only made some improvements by adding dual cultivation. Normal cultivation is also possible..."

The main reason is that the male-to-female ratio in the Sword Immortal Academy is severely imbalanced, and many students are single, so dual cultivation has declined.

Chen Ming was somewhat suspicious and said—

"Really? Dual cultivation is a legitimate cultivation method? It sounds so shady."

It was pure ecstasy for an old pervert.

Afu quickly raised his hand and said—

I swear to God!

"...Then I'll trust you this once."

Hearing Chen Ming's words, A Fu, who felt that the matter was over, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Chen Ming said—

“However, even if dual cultivation is a proper cultivation method, it is a fact that you added something to your master’s cultivation without permission, so we cannot let you off easily.”

"Huh? Whoa!"

He flipped Afu over and pinned her down, his wrists were held by her and placed next to the pillow, and her beautiful legs were also pressed down on him.

He lowered his eyes, brought his mouth close to her ear, and said—

"Since you've done such a thing, you must take responsibility and be prepared to accept punishment, you wicked maid."

"Master, Master...Husband...Mmm..."

Her lips were sealed by his, and she lost her voice.

There's still some time before checkout.

……

Inside the shop, Lucifer, wearing an apron, was tidying up dishes in the kitchen when he suddenly sensed something. He peeked out and said—

Cerberus?

"..."

Cerberus, kneeling on the chair, ignored Lucifer's words and stared directly into those silver eyes.

There was a strange sense of hostility spreading here.

Cerberus, still rather impatient, spoke up—

"What are you?"

Chapter 554 The Dog's Tit-for-Tit

How can one instigate trouble in the most efficient way without compromising their character?

Greeting family members in a way that makes you seem rude is actually the most effective way, which often only requires the simplest words.

Upon hearing Cerberus's greeting, the girl dressed in black immediately turned hostile. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of crisis whenever she saw Cerberus.

It seemed as if the girl in front of her was her mortal enemy. Cerberus felt the same way, which was why his tone was unfriendly.

Ignoring Cerberus's words for the moment, a pair of silver eyes looked around the shop. Apart from some customers who came to have breakfast, there was only Cerberus, who seemed to be minding the shop, and another white-haired, red-eyed woman peeking out.

Lucifer dried her hands with a towel, her red eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at the newcomer. She could sense that this girl was quite powerful; could she have been drawn here by yesterday's commotion?

After a moment's hesitation, Lucifer revealed a perfect smile and said to the silver-eyed woman—

"Would you like anything?"

"..."

The silver-eyed woman paused slightly, looking at the woman in front of her. There was a natural aura of a mistress emanating from her, which made her hesitate.

The aura of confrontation with Cerberus seemed to shrink, as if there was some reservation.

Is he married?

However, I have indeed heard that he has an ambiguous relationship with those sword immortals and that he should have already settled down and started a family. And this woman in front of me looks like this, could she also be one of his wives or concubines?

He really is a womanizer; I never noticed before. But it's good this way; with many women, there's no need to worry about carrying on the family line.

They even started to look forward to the birth of their little master.

She gave Lucifer a somewhat ingratiating smile and said—

"Um, could I meet the owner here?"

"Ok?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. Another girl looking for Chen Ming? She took a closer look at the woman in front of her.

She had a slender figure, and a strand of silver hair cascaded down her black hair, reflecting in her silver eyes. She wore a noble and understated black robe, which subtly exuded an air of authority.

It gives off a sense of superiority.

Where did he pick these wildflowers? Wait, no, this one should have the air of a noble, aloof flower. Anyway, it's always best to pin the blame for his womanizing on his philandering husband.

But Chen Ming also felt quite wronged. He didn't actively provoke girls. Apart from Lucifer, who he took the initiative to win over, the others came to him by chance or were his older sister or aunt who he grew up with.

He's just not good at rejecting other people's feelings.

Even so, such an explanation seems rather weak.

Lucifer thought for a moment, then answered—

"He's gone out and isn't here right now."

"what……"

The silver-eyed woman looked somewhat disappointed, then carefully scratched her head, appearing a little naive, and said—

"Then...when will he be back?"

"He'll probably be back in a bit. Is there something you need him for?"
