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

"Lazybones."

If she still doesn't wake up, then so be it. Anyway, I've already hit her and drawn the picture.

He went into the kitchen to help Lucifer.

Lucifer made sweet pancakes with him today, occasionally turning around to ask for his opinion.

He said—

I like everything you make.

“...Okay then, I’ll make mustard greens next time.”

"..."

Chen Ming's expression changed, but seeing Lucifer's ambiguous smile, he forced a smile and said—

"Okay, I will definitely finish it."

How did Lucifer know that he hated mustard greens?

He asked, puzzled.

Lucifer said—

"My older sister told me that you've always hated mustard greens."

"Sister? How did you two get in touch?"

"We chatted on our phones."

I learned quite a few embarrassing stories about him.

Firecrackers exploding in poop, falling into a pond while catching fish, and being afraid of injections even in your twenties...

Chen Ming blushed.

His older sister liked to tell him all his embarrassing stories, as if he were showing off a cute child.

Chapter 70 The Sword Immortal Arrives

After breakfast, I left two pancakes for Dongyi.

Chen Ming and Lucifer went out together to go to the store.

"Master, master, master!"

Cerberus pounced, knocking him off balance again. He rubbed his stomach with a pained expression, looked at the dog in his arms, and said—

"What? I need to go to work."

"I also need to go!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I can help too."

"...Just don't cause me any trouble."

"Well……"

The dog seemed a little unhappy and came over to lick his face, but Chen Ming took it away. He looked at Cerberus, who was wagging its tail incessantly.

Knowing she was interested and it would be hard to stop her from following, he nodded and said—

"Alright, I'll take you there, but you can't cause trouble, and don't change your form in front of outsiders."

"understood!"

Chen Ming put her on the ground and she started running around him again, becoming very lively with excitement.

She has a captivating charm that resonates with people.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"gone."

As I walked downstairs, I wondered if the landlady was awake, and glanced at her door.

He suddenly thought of—

"It seems our lease on the house is up."

"Have we arrived yet?"

Lucifer had indeed heard him mention this, saying that he wanted to move into the shop to live.

But I was also quite busy and had a lot of things to do, and so many strange things happened that I forgot about them... Well, actually I was just lazy.

The landlady didn't seem to want to kick them out, so she tacitly allowed them to continue staying.

Hmm... it's not good to take advantage of others like this.

Chen Ming thought he should just renew the lease and deal with moving out another day. He stared at the landlady's door, lost in thought.

Lucifer looked at him and said—

"Still a little worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"You're a little worried about the landlady if we move out and there's no one to take care of her, right?"

Although the landlady was mature and knew how to navigate social situations, she was still just a child. Chen Ming felt that he could take care of her if he moved out, but it wouldn't be as convenient as living in the apartment with her upstairs.

Chen Ming sighed and said—

"You know, when I was as little as the landlady, I was just a little tagalong who would always stick to her older sister, spoiled rotten. Like a precious treasure, I was treated like a fragile baby, afraid of breaking or melting..."

“I forced my sister to stay at the junior high school near our home, just to be with me. Actually, a genius like my sister could definitely go to a top school. A school was willing to go against the grain and even refuse her, but she still stayed for me.”

“I was spoiled throughout my childhood. Of course, there were bad things too. My parents were always arguing when I was little, but I was still taken care of by my older sister.”

“I just feel that a child the landlady’s age should be loved, not left alone out there to fend for herself…”

Chen Ming bit his lower lip. Abandoning his wife and children was something only a scoundrel would do in everyone's mind. How was the landlady any different from being abandoned?

Lucifer lowered his gaze and said—

"You really dislike that family."

"How could I not hate it?"

"But you still saved that person, the one who was drunk driving."

"...Don't make me sound like a saint. I didn't know at the time, otherwise I would have punched that guy twice."

Chen Ming frowned. The type of person he hated most in his life was a saint, especially a saint who only asked others to be magnanimous.

He exhaled softly and said—

"I wonder if this kind of thing can be sued, so that the landlady can sue them, and then..."

"Then?"

"Hmm... how about I adopt her? Such a sensible daughter seems like a good choice."

"..."

Lucifer looked at him with an indescribable expression. The landlady didn't seem like she wanted to be your daughter; she had much bigger plans.

Chen Ming glanced at Lucifer, then said seemingly casually—

"But... I heard that unmarried people can't adopt little girls..."

"..."

Lucifer's eyes widened slightly, a hint of confusion in his red pupils. What did this mean? What was it subtly implying?

Lucifer tried to find the answer in his eyes, but he had already turned his head away, and could only see his slightly reddened ears.

Lucifer also started to feel a little embarrassed, and lowered his head slightly...

Why did this guy suddenly turn around and launch a surprise attack?

It caught her off guard.

Hmm... getting married... would deter troublemakers, and adopting the landlady would eliminate any future problems... I'm inexplicably a little tempted.

A little bit.

Lucifer smiled.

Chen Ming pushed the car out, bent down, picked up the dog, and put it in the basket. Although it was a bit bumpy, Cerberus didn't feel uncomfortable.

He smiled and said—

"I bought a dog to make dog meat."

"Wang!"

Cerberus protested.

Lucifer sat in the back seat and gently hugged his broad back. He felt her softness and his heart fluttered slightly.

Feeling her body temperature was very reassuring.

……

……

Long after Chen Ming and his group had set off...

"Chen—Ming—! You're going to die!"

When Dongyi woke up, he saw the drawing on his thigh. He was furious, but he could only rage helplessly and sit on the bed sulking.

"That annoying guy..."

She puffed out of bed, dragged her slippers to the bathroom, and brushed her teeth and washed her face.

"You said you wanted to marry me, how can you treat your future wife like this..."

Shouldn't they be fed and cared for, and have sweet words said to them every day? Instead, they slap their thighs every day and scribble all over them.

It's too bad.
