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

Could it be... that he wants me to dress up as a catgirl for him?

The tailor blushed, his hand slightly recoiled, and looking down, he tentatively said—

"Mr. Chen Ming... is this a prerequisite?"

Is asking me to do something so embarrassing the price for his help? He's such a strange person, asking for nothing in return but to dress up as a catgirl…

"Preconditions?"

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback, then thought about it. If he wanted to recognize Liuli, he would have to know that she could turn into a cat, so this statement was also correct.

He looked at the seamstress with a relieved expression... well, he felt that the seamstress was a little awkward, was it just his imagination?

Chen Ming nodded and said—

"It is indeed true that it is a prerequisite."

it is as expected.

The tailor opened his mouth, his gaze toward Chen Ming becoming somewhat strange, before lowering his deep gray-blue eyes again to look at his toes.

Her fair hands gripped her knees, applying slight pressure. Her lips pursed, as if she had made up her mind, and she said—

"I understand."

"That's good."

Chen Ming looked pleased; this was the first step completed, and the progress bar for helping the tailor win the bet was already halfway done, fifty percent.

What he didn't know was that the progress bar not only didn't increase, but actually regressed, completely sinking into a rut, more like a negative fifty percent...

The tailor's face was completely red. Although he had agreed, he still felt a little shy after thinking about it carefully. He couldn't bring himself to do it in public, so he said—

"Well... if you have time, may I visit the store directly?"

"Of course, otherwise how could it proceed?"

Chen Ming was somewhat surprised by the tailor's cleverness. As expected of the girl known as the witch, she seemed to be able to read minds, and things proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

That's just how he sees it now.

He had originally wanted to find an excuse to invite the tailor over so that she could meet Liuli, but now she has taken the initiative to do so... Could it be that she has already guessed his intentions?

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile—

"It's so good that you understand. I can't really say this directly..."

"Well, if Mr. Chen Ming is willing to help me, I... I can..."

The tailor's voice grew softer and softer, sounding as if he had sold himself out, even though Chen Ming himself had no such intention.

A strange misunderstanding.

Chen Ming patted his chest and said—

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you."

It's more accurate to say that we're already helping out.

Hmm... Should I report this to my aunt when I get back? And maybe ask for a reward? He originally wanted to help the seamstress anyway, and his aunt's request was practically a freebie for him.

"That's good..."

The tailor pursed his lips. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, this strange price was nothing to worry about.

She exhaled, straightened up, her gaze hardening again, and said—

"Then I'll go back and prepare. I'll contact Mr. Chen Ming later; we've exchanged contact information before."

"Ah, okay."

Chen Ming waved to her, and the tailor, wearing a leather coat, strode forward without turning his head, decisive and efficient.

Some of them are really cool girls.

Chen Ming thought to himself.

It's a little disappointing that I didn't see her motorcycle this time... He still misses her cool motorcycle.

……

"Hello? Seamstress?"

"Um, Xiao Hong, I need to ask you to make some equipment."

"Okay, go ahead."

"I want a pair of cat ears."

"..."

"Little Red?"

"Excuse me, seamstress, I didn't hear you clearly. What do you want?"

"Cat ears."

"What... what does this mean? Ah, could it be equipment that mimics the way cats move..."

"No, it's just a decoration, the kind you use to dress up as a catgirl."

"..."

Little Red was so startled that she dropped her potato chips.

Chapter 611 We must not underestimate him

Who is the seamstress?

A reliable senior to magical girls, a respected elder, a titled witch who lived through the dark ages, and a person who returned from hell.

Even though she comes from such a prestigious background, she actually treats everyone very well. Perhaps that's why she doesn't seem authoritative at all; she's just like a kind-hearted older sister who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, making people feel close to her.

However, in everyone's hearts, the senior tailor is a person of high status and is respected.

However, now, that senior seamstress, that seemingly cold and aloof seamstress witch, is actually saying she'll help me prepare the props for dressing up as a catgirl...

Xiao Hong suddenly felt dizzy. Was the world too crazy, or was this just a strange dream she was having?

If it was a dream, it was still too strange. She reached out and pinched her cheek hard...

"it hurts!"

Not a dream!

The tailor asked in confusion—

"Xiao Hong? What's wrong?"

"...It's not me, it's you, seamstress, what's wrong? What, what's going on? Why, why do you need that kind of thing?"

Xiao Hong imagined the seamstress with a cold face and cat ears on her head... and then she probably would still feel embarrassed, so her cold expression turned slightly red...

No, this is not good; this idea is not good.

Xiao Hong touched her nose, and even she, a girl, felt a sudden flutter of affection for her. This unexpected cuteness was simply wonderful.

The tailor's voice hesitated slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said—

"It's not unreasonable to ask someone to help find the Boss."

"Who? That Mr. Chen Ming?"

Xiao Hong knew Chen Ming, of course. She never expected that such a seemingly decent person would make the seamstress do such a thing! She used to think he was kind of handsome, but she never expected him to be so perverted. She had misjudged him.

Chen Ming felt he was caught in the crossfire. He only wanted to help the seamstress, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by others... and he didn't expect the seamstress to have misunderstood him from the very beginning.

"Even girls would be captivated by a catgirl seamstress, how could a man resist?" Xiao Hong said anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, you can't do this."

"What? Why?"

"Because it's dangerous. If he pushes his luck, then... then the seamstress..."

She couldn't finish her sentence; her cheeks flushed slightly. She continued, "..."

"And is the seamstress sure he knows the Boss's whereabouts?"

"He's just an ordinary person, there's nothing dangerous about him, right?"

The tailor was very clear-headed; with his strength, he was more than capable of protecting himself in front of him. Of course, the tailor didn't know that Chen Ming had already cultivated, but even if Chen Ming had, whether he could defeat the tailor was still unknown.

Even if combat isn't his primary skill, the tailor's strength is still not to be underestimated.

Little Red stammered through the tunnel—

"Yes, but..."

The tailor interrupted her and answered—

"As for whether he knows the Boss's whereabouts... should I say I smelled the Boss's scent, or is it just intuition...?"

The tailor rested his hands on the riverbank railing, gazing at the gently flowing water, and said—

"He must know something."

I couldn't help but recall every word he said. He initially said he'd never met someone like that, then later said he'd seen them in a dream…

In a dream?

The tailor seemed to have noticed something. After thinking for a moment, he tapped the earpiece in his ear and said—

"Xiao Hong, can you help me check the records? See if there are any instances of signing contracts in my dreams, from the past to the present."

"In a dream?"

Xiao Hong was slightly taken aback, then her expression became a little strange. Was the seamstress a little obsessed, thinking that the Boss had hidden in a dream?

She opened her mouth, but after thinking about it, she didn't voice her doubts.

After all, compared to making cat ears or something, this job seems a bit more normal... She always felt that the seamstress was like a lamb being led into the tiger's den step by step. Even though Chen Ming was just an ordinary person, she had a strange feeling that the seamstress was going to capsize.

Having experienced so much open and covert hostility, the seamstress is extremely sensitive to other people's hostility, but she has never actually been in a relationship... While she gets full marks for dealing with malice, she gets zero marks for dealing with other people's goodwill.

Xiao Hong quickly said—
