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

"Sure, but this is my first time giving a dog a bath. Hmm... it's probably similar to washing my sister's hair, right?"

Does that mean my sister's head is roughly the size of a dog's? Lucifer stared at him; sometimes he really is... that foul mouth.

shook his head.

Then the two of them fell silent.

Chen Ming finished eating quickly, and Lucifer took the bowl back, washed it, and came out.

"I told you before that I had something to tell you, do you remember?"

"I remember. Tell me, is there anything you want or anything you're missing?"

Chen Ming was pleased that Lucifer was discussing things with him.

She said—

"Take me to your place tomorrow."

"where?"

"In the shop."

What are you going to the store for?

"I'll help you."

"Hey?"

Chen Ming was still somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that Lucifer meant to say that his family was missing something, or that he wanted something.

The result is neither.

Instead, she wanted to help him.

She looked at him with her red eyes and said—

"You said yourself that there are more and more customers, and one person can't manage them all, so I went to help you."

"...I see."

He smiled; she was thinking of him.

He suddenly remembered that Lucifer had been learning cooking skills all this time, and cooking in the kitchen every day was his way of practicing.

So it was all so that they could help him?

He has truly been taken care of by her all along, from being rescued at the beginning to helping his family, and now she is going to take it a step further and become his pillar of support.

He looked at her; her delicate face, red eyes, and a beauty mark under her eye…

Is Lucifer really a demon?

No, perhaps this is the devil.

She subtly infiltrates your life, making you unable to live without her, intervening in your life, and you never want to let go, completely falling for her.

He held her delicate hand, looking at the water droplets that hadn't dried yet, still clinging to it from washing the dishes.

His eyes softened as he spoke—

"We clearly agreed... that you would be the one to collect the price, but in the end, I owe you more and more..."

Lucifer shook his head and said—

"I've said it before... you owe me nothing, the deal is over. Everything now is not a transaction, and there's nothing to owe you."

“Lucifer…”

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer.

Lucifer closed his eyes slightly...

suddenly--

"Cough cough!"

The landlady's lips twitched.

What are you doing? Killing a dog? What are you doing, acting like nobody's around? There are people here! I'm watching! Even though I know you two are together, it still hurts me to see you like this in front of me!

One is someone I like, and the other is my kind Lucifer sister, why is it like this...?

Chen Ming and Lucifer realized what was happening and awkwardly separated.

Lucifer blushed slightly and said—

"I'm going to take a shower first."

"Ah."

Chen Ming watched her go to get her clothes, then sat down next to the landlady with a somewhat dejected expression. He picked her up and ruffled her hair, saying fiercely—

"Is your throat sore?"

"...I feel uncomfortable."

The landlady, held in his arms, rolled her eyes and said—

What should you do in front of children?

"Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?"

Chen Ming smiled and patted her head, saying—

"By the way, could you contact Qin Hui and ask her to transfer the money back?"

"If she's willing to give it to you, then just take it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so much money just like that, I didn't know your family was so rich, you're quite the little rich lady?"

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"I think I've grasped the future. I'll just have a rich little girl to take care of me, and then I won't have to work hard anymore."

"..."

The landlady rested her chin on her hand. Of course, she knew Chen Ming was joking. If he really didn't want to work hard, the money Qin Hui gave him would be enough for him to live on for a lifetime.

His philosophy is simply to be an ordinary person, get a job, slowly earn some money, get married, and have children.

The idea of ​​being kept by a rich woman is just a joke.

The landlady's eyes darted around, and she asked—

"If... I were to offer to be your sugar daddy, how much would you ask for?"

"Ok?"

Chen Ming pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then looked up, hesitated, and said—

"Well... my requirements aren't high. I just need a place to stay and food, and then every month... never mind, I don't want to put a price on myself. I'm priceless."

Chen Ming spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.

The landlady squinted and said—

"...ten thousand."

"What do you take me for?" Chen Ming glared at him.

"Twenty thousand."

"It's not a matter of money or not."

"fifty thousand."

"You are insulting my character!"

"One hundred thousand."

"Rich Lolita, what do you want me to do?"

The landlady laughed.

Chen Ming patted her head and said with a smile—

"Alright, enough joking around. Shouldn't you go back to sleep? Kids need to go to bed early."

The landlady lowered her head and said softly—

"A joke..."

Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Ugh……

Chapter 68 Helping the Beautiful Girl Wash Up

I escorted the landlady back to her bed.

When Chen Ming entered the inner room, he saw Dong Yi playing on the computer without even turning his eyes away.

He walked over, patted her head, and said—

"Even the landlady knows the importance of studying hard, and look at you."

"...Are you treating sending me to study as a form of entertainment? Especially when I'm playing video games?"

Dongyi felt that he was doing it on purpose. He would nag her every time she was playing games, which made her very angry, and she could only rage helplessly.

He smiled and said—

What are you playing?

"Weren't you watching?"

"StarCraft, why did you choose monster girls? They won't be able to beat the Cataclysms later on, will they?"

Chen Ming created a mod for Stellaris, featuring unique races, abundant events, complete technology, and Ascension/Awakening.

It's truly an incredibly powerful mod, that's widely acknowledged.

Then, it's also very powerful because it comes with natural disasters.

Dong Yi didn't really want to talk to him, so he just gave a perfunctory reply—
