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

As she spoke, she gave Xiao Hei a defiant look with her red eyes, then slowly licked his face with her tongue, and said—

"You'll never be this close to your owner, you silly big dog."

Snapped.

Veins seemed to bulge on Little Black's forehead, its silver eyes flashed coldly, and its large tail twitched restlessly. It stared intently at its master, seemingly eager to try something.

Chen Ming broke out in a cold sweat. If such a big dog were to be "cannonballed" like Cerberus, he and the dog would probably roll into the sewer together.

Little Black looked at Cerberus, who was being held in its owner's arms, with an envious expression.

But then I looked at myself.

This dog is definitely a large, powerful breed; it's practically impossible for its owner to carry it around in their arms. It could actually be smaller, which isn't impossible, but...

Little Black's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be struggling.

She naturally prefers to be large and protect her master, and if she shrinks... her master might notice something.

I absolutely do not want my master to know about that.

Xiao Hei gritted his teeth, his eyes hardening, and, suppressing his jealousy, raised his head and said—

"It's nothing. I like to stay by my master's side, unlike you who likes to act spoiled."

Hmph, what's so great about it? We're still alive even without it...

Although the bitterness in his heart was overflowing, the proud Emperor refused to admit defeat, which made him look rather comical, and Chen Ming couldn't help but smile.

He crouched down, gently hugged Xiao Hei's neck, and said—

"Can I hug Xiao Hei?"

"Owner……"

His warm embrace shattered all her resolve, and she couldn't help but grin foolishly; the noble emperor had completely turned into a silly dog.

It surrendered; it had no power to resist its master.

Chapter 607 The Silly Seamstress

"Be good..."

Chen Ming patted Xiao Hei's head, calming her down. Cerberus, watching from the side, felt that it was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; in the end, that guy still profited.

The owner is so gentle; he's so kind to everyone.

The puppy pawed at the ground, but to no avail, so it continued to sniff around with its nose. Sometimes Chen Ming wondered if dogs were even more curious about smells.

"Ok?"

Cerberus suddenly raised its tail and stopped in its tracks. Chen Ming, who was following behind her, looked at her strangely and asked—

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Hei also looked up in the direction ahead, seemingly noticing him as well, and said—

"Master, it seems there are people lying in ambush, and they are quite strong."

"ambush?"

Chen Ming opened his mouth, but this phrase was far removed from everyday life. Who would ambush an ordinary person like him? Ah, could it be one of his wives' side?

I couldn't help but let my mind wander.

Cerberus glanced at the little black creature with disdain and said—

"That's the tailor, the witch that Master knows."

"Ok?"

Hearing the unexpected name, Chen Ming was surprised. Looking at the intersection ahead, the corner was blocked by a building; it was the road leading to the river, where Chen Ming liked to take his dog to play.

Is the seamstress around that corner?

He thought for a moment, could it be that she brought her aunt over and then waited for news on the side? Even though she had never met Liuli, she subconsciously knew that there would be clues on him?

Chen Ming sniffed himself. Could it be that he had really picked up the scent of his cat and someone else had noticed?

"Master, what should we do?"

Cerberus turned to look at him, wondering whether to avoid him or go to meet him.

He stroked his chin and nodded, saying—

"We're just walking the dog, let's just go straight there."

After all, he had promised his aunt to help... and he had even received a price for it. He tasted his aunt's food, and it tasted quite delicious.

It's so satisfying to get something from someone else for free when you already know how to do it.

Chen Ming smiled and walked over.

Pretend to meet by chance.

A girl dressed in a black leather jacket, with a somewhat cool demeanor, seemed to be about to cross the intersection. Then, her deep gray-blue eyes naturally fell on Chen Ming as he approached, a slightly surprised expression on her face. With her hands in her pockets, she said to him—

"Ah, it's Mr. Chen Ming, what a coincidence."

"..."

skillful?

Chen Ming was slightly speechless, looking at her dark gray hair with a few strands of blue, which had an unusual feature and made her quite mysterious.

This is probably what it feels like to be a witch.

Although Chen Ming would never have guessed she was a witch if his wife hadn't told him.

Her comment, "What a coincidence!" almost made the dogs burst out laughing. The tailor had no idea that the dogs had already sniffed out her whereabouts, and Chen Ming felt embarrassed for her.

Doesn't this fake encounter feel a bit like stumbling onto the set of a romantic comedy? If so, then this trope is way too outdated; it must be the work of a third-rate screenwriter.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing that he seemed somewhat silent, the seamstress couldn't help but wave her hand in front of him.

Chen Ming tried his best to suppress his expression and said with a smile—

"It's nothing, it's just such a coincidence that I ran into the seamstress here..."

Chen Ming is a gentle person at heart. He wouldn't lie to a pretty girl and make her so embarrassed that she squats down and regrets it... Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it seems quite interesting.

Kidding.

At least for now, he won't say a word about this relationship. But once they get to know each other better, he'll definitely keep bringing up this embarrassing past to make fun of them. That's foreseeable.

People who don't know him well might think he's a very upright gentleman.

Every girl who knew him was bullied.

And they did it willingly.

This man is terrifying.

The seamstress breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him respond. She had actually struggled with this for a long time, wanting to get closer to him to see if he had any clues about the Boss, but not knowing how to approach him.

She's not really good at approaching people, but she's usually decisive and efficient when doing tasks because she has a goal and doesn't hesitate.

But now she's acting entirely on her suspicions, sending someone to "monitor" him—and that person is even his aunt…

The tailor felt utterly terrible; this was so awful, there was no way to excuse it.

Little did she know, her aunt had confessed everything as soon as she returned, making her a complete mole on the side. She even tried to justify herself by saying she couldn't resist him.

The tailor wasn't very good at communicating with people and didn't know how to visit them. After thinking it over, he came up with the foolish idea of ​​pretending to bump into them by chance.

It was discovered.

If she finds out later that he knows everything about her actions, it's hard to say whether she'll be so ashamed she'd want to crawl into a hole.

So there are some things it's better not to know. Right now, because the tailor doesn't know these things, he can still speak calmly and confidently—

"Mr. Chen Ming, are you out walking your dog? What an adorable dog! I'm also taking a walk here."

"I see."

"I understand, so it was a coincidence. You don't need to explain further; the more you explain, the more I want to laugh." Chen Ming lowered his head, covered his mouth with his hand, and said with a smile—

"Well... would you like to take a walk together, Miss Tailor?"

yeah!

The tailor secretly cheered, never expecting the plan to go so smoothly; he hadn't suspected a thing.

Of course, there was no doubt.

He knew everything, so what did he have to doubt? This information gap made every move the tailor made seem ridiculous and adorably silly to him.

She put her hands behind her back and said—

“Great, I was just thinking of having a chat with Mr. Chen Ming.”

Xiao Hei came closer and sniffed at the tailor's trouser leg, seemingly recognizing the scent—a common habit dogs have.

Xiao Hei thought to himself, "Such a naive girl, she'll definitely be tricked by her owner, right? So many smart girls in the house couldn't escape his clutches. I should memorize the taste first; it'll be useful eventually."

The number of people in the family increases every minute.

Cerberus found it amusing and didn't interrupt their conversation, quietly following beside them, ready to watch the show.

Chen Ming knew exactly what she wanted to ask, but he hadn't figured out how to answer.

How can he get the seamstress to discover the truth without breaking the bet? Chen Ming was a little troubled; this job didn't seem so easy.

It should be done in several steps.

First, you need to make the seamstress realize that people can turn into cats, and then bring Liuli to her. This should greatly increase the chances of success.

Although it has a hint of cheating, it should still be reasonable, right?

Chen Ming nodded and looked at the tailor.
