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

"Um..."

"..."

Please stop making those strange noises. Chen Ming swallowed hard.

The sword fairy looked at the ceiling, her thighs sometimes relaxing and sometimes tensing. Her legs were straight, and her toes kept clenching in the air.

at last……

They're done.

Miss Sword Fairy lay on the sofa, breathing slightly heavily. Chen Ming sat beside her, beginning to wonder what he had just been doing.

It should just be... helping her wipe off the pattern.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Lucifer suddenly emerged from the inner room carrying Cerberus. She had taken Cerberus inside earlier, and now they were coming out.

Lucifer looked at the two somewhat tired people, tilted his head, and said—

"Are you done?"

"..."

"..."

The Sword Fairy's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, and she raised her two long legs to kick Chen Ming repeatedly.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

Ashamed.

Although Lucifer didn't mean it that way, the Sword Fairy was still very ashamed and indignant.

He took a few punches, then grabbed her ankle and said—

"I didn't wipe it off for you."

"That's not what I meant, you idiot!"

The sword fairy turned her head away angrily.

Chen Ming glanced at her; he knew exactly what she was talking about, but…

He's also very shy.

Let's just pretend we don't know.

Chapter 62 Sword Immortal Afu

Feeling rather awkward, and with plenty of time to spare, Chen Ming told Lucifer and headed to the shop, hoping to earn a little extra money.

He received complaints from customers as soon as he opened his shop.

"Mr. Chen, this won't do. You're only working sporadically. It's true what they say about young people these days..."

Seeing the old man walk in, he could only force a smile and say—

"Something has been going on lately."

Despite the complaints, we still had to eat, so I made some wontons for the old man. Then, people started arriving one after another, since it was almost lunchtime.

The office lady in black stockings collapsed onto the table as soon as she entered, crying out—

"Xiao Chen! You heartless man..."

"..."

Chen Ming's eyebrows twitched. He looked at the heavily made-up white-collar worker, shook his head, and said—

"what happened?"

"You're not opening your shop, so I haven't eaten anything this morning. I'm starving."

"You can eat at another restaurant."

"He spoiled my stomach and still says things like that, kicking me out. What a jerk... He doesn't even want an old woman like me anymore."

She was rambling incoherently, and Chen Ming noticed that her face was flushed and she smelled of alcohol.

He asked—

"You haven't been drinking again, have you?"

It's the middle of the day, and they're out drinking again. It seems like no one has it easy.

I made her a cup of tangerine peel water and placed it in front of her.

She chuckled—

"Xiao Chen is the best. Marry me, and I'll take care of you..."

"No need, what would you like to eat?"

"Wonton, slim, and...you."

"Wonton noodles, right? They'll be ready in a minute."

He automatically ignored what came next. Anyway, this guy had been drunk and acting crazy more than once or twice. Every time, he would throw up outside and then come to his place to eat something to fill his stomach.

Besides her, many other people said they had planned to have breakfast there, but his opening hours were too irregular, so they went hungry.

This is truly a sin.

Chen Ming felt he really needed to come up with a solution.

A student said to him—

"Or, boss, why don't you create a group chat? We regular customers can join, and we'll know whether you're open or not."

That seems like a good idea.

But...

Chen Ming felt that something was wrong, just like when he was writing a novel before, he was tricked into opening a group, which was said to allow him to know the updates and discuss the plot.

As a result, it later turned into a hell of people demanding more updates, and some even followed him to the forum, making him afraid to show his face.

Learn from past mistakes.

If I create this group, I'm afraid I'll be constantly pressured by these customers to open the store, and every day will feel like clocking in for work.

He said, sweating profusely—

"I'll consider whether we should hire more people."

After all, it's frustrating for regular customers to be constantly closed; we can't keep letting them down.

……

……

Before I knew it, it was afternoon.

There were quite a lot of customers today, and he saw that there were still many customers waiting. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to go home early today.

He made a phone call to Lucifer.

"Hey?"

Lucifer's voice was soothing, making him feel more relaxed. He smiled and said—

"Lucifer? Have you eaten?"

"No, it's being done now, waiting for you to come back."

"Oh, I see. You don't need to wait for me today. You guys eat first. I estimate I won't be able to get away until around eight o'clock tonight."

"……All right."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lucifer sounded somewhat lost; he could already detect her emotions in the subtle changes in her demeanor.

He smiled—

"I'm sorry, I'll try to go home earlier next time."

"No, no need..."

Lucifer shook his head, tasted the soup with a spoon, and said—

"Okay, I have something to talk to you about when you get back."

"what's up?"

"You're busy now, we'll talk when you get back."

"okay, I get it."

After Chen Ming answered, he waited for Lucifer to hang up. However, Lucifer did not hang up.

"...Why don't you hang up the phone?"

Lucifer asked.

Chen Ming said—

"I'll wait for you to hang up."

"...Okay, I'll hang up then."

Lucifer hung up the phone, looked at her phone, and lowered her eyelids slightly. Then she smiled gently, her eyebrows softening, and the beauty mark under her eye adorned her face.

After talking with Lucifer, Chen Ming felt his whole body filled with power.

The work was completed in no time.

But it got dark.

Rumble rumble...

Um, it looks like it's going to rain again.

He looked at the sky; it was thundering and windy. That's how the weather's been lately—it suddenly starts raining, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for half a day.

He just hoped the rain wouldn't last too long; he wanted to get back and reunite with Lucifer and the others as soon as possible.
