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

It seems Lucifer is smiling more and more. At first, she was like a block of ice... well, that's not a good way to describe a beautiful woman. I should say she's indifferent to everything and not interested in anything.

She's much better now; she's even interested in cooking. Chen Ming knows she likes sweets.

Demons like sweets, doesn't that seem a bit strange?

The two of them led Cerberus down the path and walked around the open space. Along the way, neighbors kept asking if she was Mr. Chen's girlfriend.

Chen Ming actually really wanted to answer yes.

Although Lucifer was usually a man of few words, she would quietly learn to cook for him, so that when he came home, the house would already be filled with a meal waiting for him.

Such a small act of kindness was enough to touch his heart, not to mention that she had saved his life.

He didn't like to talk about it because he didn't want Lucifer to think that Chen Ming was only nice to her because she had saved his life.

He wanted her to realize that he was kind to her because he liked her.

Of course, his status as his savior also played a role, and it's hard to say that it had no influence, but his affection for him was genuine.

Passing by the pet store, Chen Ming thought for a moment and said—

"Would Cerberus like to try something?"

"what?"

Chen Ming went into the store and bought some dog food, which Cerberus seemed to really like.

Watching her wag her tail, Chen Ming thought that dog food might be edible for humans, and he was a little curious about what it tasted like... but it would be too embarrassing to fight with a dog for food.

I was strolling along the street again, and there were quite a few people coming and going. Some people were riding bicycles on the sidewalk and almost hit Lucifer.

He frowned.

Chen Ming glanced at Lucifer and told her to walk on the inside of the road.

then……

Seemingly unintentionally, he reached out and took her hand.

She paused slightly, her red eyes looking at him.

He turned his head away, somewhat guiltily saying—

"With so many people, it's better to hold hands."

"..."

Lucifer glanced at the elderly men and women strolling around, head bowed, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said—

"Yeah, there are quite a lot of people..."

She gently returned his firm hand.

"Hiccup~"

Cerberus suddenly let out a burp, perhaps from eating too much dog food.

Chapter 60 Can turn into a beautiful girl, can eat

Holding Lucifer's hand, I felt its soft, delicate texture and slight coolness, like touching a piece of jade, a touch that I couldn't bear to part with.

Walking along the river, there were quite a few people doing their morning exercise. The riverside was like a park, with many elderly people exercising. Occasionally, when I glanced at a somewhat shy young couple, I would just smile at them in a friendly manner.

Chen Ming and Lucifer both had their heads down, as if they could sense each other's heartbeats.

Even if Lucifer was slow to understand, he was still impressed by her persistent expression of feelings, as well as the stimulation from the landlady and Chen Xiao.

Of course she would realize that Chen Ming liked her.

He called her a demon, but he wasn't afraid at all, and he pursued the demon. Isn't he really strange? He accepted her in just a few days.

This is something that completely overturns one's worldview.

But that didn't scare him away.

Actually, he was a bit of a lecher, and he always liked to stare at her, especially her feet, as if he had a particular fondness for them. He thought he hid it well, but girls are very sensitive, especially since she was Lucifer.

The two sat on a bench; he seemed to be going to buy something.

She looked up as he left, then gazed at the blue sky, thinking about him. She realized she still didn't dislike him, even with his few minor flaws.

But she didn't feel bad being by his side.

I learned to cook for him and waited for him to come home.

It does seem that life is much more peaceful than before. Apart from the occasional romantic entanglements that come knocking on my door, life is generally as bland as a bowl of plain water.

Yet I felt very at ease.

He went to work feeling a little lonely, but came back feeling a little happy.

Sure enough... she also...

"Wang!"

Cerberus followed him back and bought a box of fruit a dozen meters away from the bench.

He sat down next to Lucifer and said—

"Lucifer hasn't tried this before, has he?"

"what is this?"

"Soak the fruit, then take it out and slice it when you want to eat it. Add some chili water and licorice salt to neutralize the sourness."

Chen Ming is quite used to eating this because his mother loves it, and he has developed this taste as well.

"We call it 'sour material' here, but I don't know what it's called elsewhere, or if it has an official name."

Some things are expressed in local dialects, especially genuine local specialties, so it's normal that people don't know how to call them in Mandarin.

He opened the box, took out a long bamboo skewer, stuck a piece of radish in it, put it in his mouth, and said—

"I still prefer radishes, they're not so sour. Guava is also good, and mango... some mangoes are quite sour. Eating these things before a meal will make you hungrier, but eating them after a meal, especially after eating greasy food, is really comforting."

The pancakes they used to eat for breakfast weren't the sweet kind anymore; they were the greasy kind, so they ate this to balance things out.

Lucifer blinked, picked up a bamboo skewer, stuck a piece of radish stem in it, and put it in his mouth.

He first frowned slightly.

It was a little sour, then I tasted a little sweetness, but I didn't expect it to be a little spicy, and I choked a bit.

"cough……"

"Are you alright?"

He gently patted her back to help her relax.

Lucifer shook his head and said—

"It's quite delicious."

"Be careful, look at you, your nose is all red from choking."

Perhaps because her skin was too delicate, even the slightest irritation made Lucifer's face turn red. He smiled and took out a tissue to wipe it for her.

Hold a tissue in front of her nose and let her blow out the spicy snot.

Her red eyes even looked a little watery.

It seems Lucifer can't handle spicy food very well.

He suddenly had a bad idea.

I'll keep making really spicy food so I can see Lucifer blushing every day. It feels great.

It's really really bad.

Cerberus felt an unapproachable atmosphere between the two, and was somewhat unhappy. His master had come to walk him, but was ignoring him.

She threw herself into his arms, digging into his stomach repeatedly. He felt his clothes were about to be torn apart and quickly asked—

"What's wrong? Stop messing around, you're going to tear my clothes."

"Come walk me! Come walk me! I'll bite you to death!"

"Let's take a break first, we've been walking for so long."

Chen Ming chuckled and stroked Cerberus's head, saying—

"Cerberus, would you like some? This."

"want!"

Cerberus immediately forgot about what he had been ignoring and wagged his tail.

Chen Ming thought for a moment, and realized that dogs don't eat fruit, even though many dogs occasionally eat a little rice or rice bran with their owners.

His grandmother's dog used to be like that; it was an omnivore, but it wouldn't eat fruit, probably because it couldn't digest it.

He looked at Cerberus and asked—

Do you eat fruit too?

"It smells delicious."

"Forehead……"

Perhaps Cerberus was different, since he could still transform into human form. He used a bamboo skewer to put a piece of carrot into her mouth, which she ate in two quick bites.

He looked at her and asked—

"How are you feeling?"

"It's sweet and sour, delicious!"

"Oh, that's good."

He nodded, seemingly unconcerned. The dog's eating habits should be more similar to humans... no, they should be stronger than humans, after all, it's Cerberus.

Chen Ming suddenly thought of something and asked Cerberus—

"By the way, Cerberus, can you eat chocolate? I've heard that some dogs can't eat chocolate?"

"Chocolate? What's that?"
