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

We can't delay any longer.

Chapter 640 Even a dog can drive better than you.

Cerberus!

Chen Ming carried Gu Qing and strode outside. The little dog that had been lying on his sister's lap stood up, its ears perked up, and said—

"Owner."

"Get ready to come with me."

Taking Cerberus with him allows for spatial travel at any time, and with her by his side, everyone feels more at ease letting him travel far.

After all, the previous incidents involving the zombies and Raphael had worried his family, so he needed someone to keep an eye on him.

Although the zombie sister is no longer a threat.

"Wang?"

Although Cerberus didn't understand what was happening, she knew that her master's expression was so urgent that she couldn't delay, and she was also very willing to go out with her master, so she jumped off her sister's lap.

The older sister watched him holding Gu Qing and asked—

"What happened to Gu Qing?"

"Gu Qing is fine, but something happened to her family."

Chen Ming, carrying Gu Qing, was about to walk out the door when he said—

"I'll go to Nanzhou first, it might take a day or two."

"Well, I see."

The older sister looked at Gu Qing with concern and said—

"You should help them properly."

Gu Qing dared to confront Raphael for him; for a mortal, that requires immense courage. Although she may have chosen sides because of Chen Ming's help, she will not forget that kindness.

Chen Ming forced a smile and said—

"I see."

His aunt, with her pale eyes, looked at him along with his sister and said—

"Will you make it in time? How about we ask the seamstress to take you? If you're willing to help her, she'll definitely agree to take you."

The Magical Girl Association's strength is beyond doubt, and the tailor's status allows her to mobilize many resources; sending a plane over would be easy.

Chen Ming had already reached the door, but it was a bit inconvenient to carry Gu Qing in his arms. Cerberus brought him his shoes, showing how considerate the good dog was in a critical moment.

He said as he put on his shoes—

"I'll just fly there."

"That van?"

Qin Hui came out from inside with concern, and was taken aback when she heard Chen Ming's words. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit incongruous that Gu Qing, a young lady from a respectable family, was being driven away by a man in a van.

Although this van is probably more valuable than any ordinary car.

The big black fox also heard the commotion, ran out of the room near the balcony, barked twice, looked up at its owner, and said—

"Master, are you going out?"

The little dog Cerberus turned its head and glanced at her, saying—

"I went out with my owner."

"..."

Little Black's face darkened, and he bared his teeth at Cerberus.

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow, squatted down while holding Gu Qing, patted Xiao Hei's head, and said—

"I'm only going out for a short while. Cerberus will open the door for me to come back later. You need to take good care of the house, okay? Don't be like before, disappearing when you come back."

Chen Ming's eyes were gentle as he softly stroked Xiao Hei's face with a slight smile.

"Owner……"

Xiao Hei's eyes showed a hint of guilt. He rubbed his hand against Xiao Hei's and said—

"Master, please set off without worry. I will not leave again. I promise you, I will take good care of the house and wait obediently for Master to return."

As he spoke, the big fox sat down on the floor and looked at him obediently.

Xiao Jiu followed her emperor out, watching their interaction with a sense of helplessness. Her emperor was truly gone forever.

Then I will stay here and take care of her.

The little fox girl looked at him and said, seemingly somewhat reluctantly—

"Bon Voyage."

She still felt a bit disgusted by him, but since he was the head of the family, she had to be polite and courteous, and play along.

That's right, she didn't really want to get along with him... Although his embrace was warm, he always fed her delicious food, and he was very gentle with her... he was too rude to the Emperor, he was a big bad guy.

Chen Ming smiled and ruffled the proud little fox girl's orange hair and ears, then left without lingering.

Cerberus followed behind him on her four short legs, looking like she was trying her best to go down each step of the stairs, since each step was almost as tall as her.

Normally, puppies are carried down by their owners, but he has to carry Gu Qing now, so there's no way around it.

I was a little worried that Cerberus might slip and fall flat on his face. His owner was actually overly doting on the little dog, but how could the three-headed hellhound possibly fall down the stairs?

However, he still said—

"Cerberus, please change back first."

"it is good."

Knowing the situation was urgent, Cerberus didn't say much or whine or complain. She immediately transformed back into the white-haired, red-eyed beauty in a suit and followed Chen Ming around.

"Master, master, let me pilot the flying boat in a moment."

"Huh? Can you drive?"

"It's actually very simple. Those sword masters simplified the operation process, and I've wanted to try it out for a long time!"

Cerberus had transformed into a young girl, yet she remained as excited as a puppy. This eased Chen Ming's initial tension, and he smiled, saying—

"All you ever think about is having fun."

But that's fine too. Being his dog means being happy every day, which is also his wish.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem very safe for a novice sword immortal like myself to fly a flying boat. Although it should be fine, I'm always a little nervous about it being my first time.

He took the van out of his storage bag, then hesitated for a moment, looked at Cerberus, and said—

Are you sure you can drive?

Or would it be better to go back and ask A-Fu to be my driver?

Cerberus patted his proud chest and said—

"Don't worry, master, this is no problem at all for me, Cerberus (the silly dog)."

"..."

Although Cerberus has the traits of a fool, he is still a powerful being, so let's trust him for now, after all...

He glanced at Gu Qing, who was still muttering in her sleep in his arms, and couldn't help but feel at ease.

Chen Ming said—

"Then you drive."

Then I stepped into the car, and the interior suddenly opened up into a large space with a sofa and a coffee table, just like a house.

Cerberus excitedly sat in the driver's seat, glanced back at Chen Ming, and said—

"Master, sit tight, we're about to set off! Um... the start button is... this!"

"..."

Chen Ming watched her fumble around unfamiliarly, and a sense of worry crept into his heart. Could this dog handle it? What if she dismantles the car...?

Her skill in destroying houses is well-known.

Fortunately, it started smoothly in the end...

Although some black smoke seemed to be coming out of the cockpit, and Cerberus had a bewildered programmer expression that seemed to say, "Why is this even moving?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Chen Ming's forehead, and he decided not to think about such terrifying things.

Chapter 641 Relying on him is such happiness

"Gu Qing, listen carefully. You can't survive in this world without fighting. Your starting point is very high, but the higher you go, the harder you'll fall. You have to grit your teeth and persevere. It's not easy for anyone to live in this world."

Mom... old woman...

Gu Qing's consciousness drifted in and out of focus, as scenes flashed through her mind: her mother watching over her as she buried herself in her studies at her desk.

I would occasionally look out the window with envy at the birds flying by, and a feeling of envy would well up within me.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? You don't have time to waste! You'll be in charge in the future, and if you don't work hard, you'll be defeated by others!"

Gu Qing looked down at her father's angry face. "Why not just let someone else take charge? Why does it have to be me? Or can't you have another child? Wouldn't it be better to have a boy to manage the company?"

A little bit of resentment eventually turned into strong disgust. I had never experienced any warmth from them. From the time I could remember, I grew up under their cruel education, as if I were just a tool to inherit the family business. Even recalling that childhood period felt incredibly dark.

Eating alone in an empty house, I initially felt lonely, but later I realized that being alone might be better.

During their few visits and conversations, there was never any care, only scolding and urging.

Is it strange to dislike parents like that?

Gradually, I gave up hope.

Instead of having any expectations of such a guy, it's better to work hard to achieve the life you want.

Gu Qing figured it out, and her heart turned cold. She stopped complaining and focused on studying hard, improving herself in all aspects, hiding her true feelings, and cultivating connections.
