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

"That's wonderful, honey..."

"Um...yes."

Looking at Gu Qing, who had become even smaller, Chen Ming scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Being called "husband" by Gu Qing now always makes me feel a very indescribable pressure.

The silver handcuffs seemed to beckon faintly.

Gu Qing smiled as she watched him lost in thought again, reaching out to stroke his face, and said—

"Mr. Angel, what are you thinking about?"

"Mr. Angel, you've even forgotten your husband! You deserve a beating!"

As he spoke, he gently patted the back of her thigh, making a crisp sound and leaving a red mark, but it didn't actually hurt much.

Gu Qing smiled and rubbed it, then sat in a duck-like position, with her legs and little bottom resting on his cross-legged lap. The soft, warm feeling made his heart flutter.

She stretched out her slender arms, her eyes glazed, and wrapped them around his neck, saying—

"Why not, Mr. Angel? You are my angel, appearing in my life, bringing me hope and happiness."

It was the best reward God could give her, so that she would no longer be alone in this world, because she knew that no matter where she went, he would find her.

"Chen Ming... my angel... my love... I like you... I love you..."

He poured out all his feelings at once, not even knowing what he said, but he blushed and looked a little embarrassed.

Then, while he was still stunned, Gu Qing leaned out her petite body and kissed him on the lips, the wet, electric sensation lingering in his mouth.

Their breaths began to resonate, and their heartbeats gradually became indistinguishable.

Then Gu Qing's hand slipped inside his clothes...

"!!!"

When her warm, soft hand touched his lower abdomen, he felt the warmth and immediately came to his senses. He parted Gu Qing's lips, grabbed her mischievous hand, and said—

"Wife, please don't do this..."

"Ok?"

Gu Qing tilted her head in confusion, looking at her husband, seemingly not understanding the point of his stopping her.

Looking at his flushed face, I was very puzzled.

They're practically husband and wife already, so why are they still shy? You're a girl and you've already let go of all inhibitions, what are you talking about?

Gu Qing puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and said—

"What do you mean? You're tired of me already?"

Even if you're fickle, you can't be like this.

Chen Ming froze, then hurriedly said—

“That’s not what I meant… It’s just… Cerberus is still here… right, Cerberus…”

"Wang!"

Cerberus winked at him, obediently turned his head, folded his ears, and said to them—

"I'm not looking or listening, just hurry up and finish."

"..."

Chen Ming's face froze. "You dog wife, now that you've got it, you don't care anymore, huh? You're just going to stand by and watch your master be defiled?"

Oh, she didn't just watch; she turned her back.

Gu Qing turned her head and glanced at Cerberus with him, then turned back to him, tilted her head again, and said—

"husband?"

"..."

He should have noticed something was wrong before. Wives don't say such mushy things normally. The reason they're going to such lengths to please him must be because of this.

But... Chen Ming looked at his wife Gu Qing, who, although legally a 30-year-old loli, now had the body of a 16-year-old.

He's not even an adult yet.

Humans cannot, or at least should not.

He said—

"That won't do, we have to wait until you turn back... You're still too young..."

"..."

Gu Qing looked down at her chest, adjusted it, and said—

"Not young anymore."

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment.

Wait, haven't we seen this conversation somewhere before? Whether it's an adult's or a child's perspective, Gu Qing would answer in the same way.

gag.

Gu Qing hugged his neck, nuzzling him affectionately, and said—

"Oh, it's okay. I'm legally married now, even though I'm a 30-year-old auntie. Even if I had the body of a 16-year-old, it's nothing. I was fully developed when I was 16, and you've seen that I haven't grown any taller since then, right?"

"No."

He's very stubborn.

Gu Qing still acted coquettishly and said—

"Husband...husband, husband~ I love you so much..."

When the Gu family queen proposed, it was so cheesy that Chen Ming got goosebumps, but he still said—

"Forget about it, honestly..."

He cupped her cheek in his hand, pulling her back slightly. Seeing her defiant and resentful expression, he couldn't help but sigh softly and say—

"Take better care of yourself, what if you get hurt?"

Gu Qing was already petite, and he had always been very careful with her. Now that her body had regressed, he was even more worried and would never agree to it under any circumstances.

"...Hmph, you'll never have a chance to regret it later, you silly husband."

Gu Qing crossed his arms and turned his head away, but a smile secretly crept across his face. Rejecting her was only for her own good; as long as she could feel his love, she was content.

While he may lack integrity, he does have some principles.

Like the landlady and Yuqian, we truly treat them like children, without any overstepping of boundaries. We will only treat them as equals when they are able to take real responsibility for themselves.

Gu Qing sighed inwardly.

Actually, I still want to try it now. At the age of 16, it's the perfect time to dream. How wonderful it would be to have a beautiful dream.

Chapter 835 Is he your brother or your father?

The older sister pursed her lips, her pale eyes fixed on Miss Urd before her, and said—

“My brother has caused you trouble. I’m so sorry to have troubled you so much. Please leave him to me now. Miss Urd can take a rest.”

It's my responsibility to hold my brother's hand, so please don't interfere.

Miss Old heard the other person's kind words and, from a polite point of view, the other person had not said anything wrong. The other person's younger brother should also be taken care of by the other person's older sister.

But Urd instinctively pulled his hand back behind his back, making his sister's eyes turn cold.

Miss Urd's gaze shifted slightly, her blue eyes fixed on the top of her feet. She gently lifted her toes and whispered—

"Well, it wasn't too much trouble... I used to take care of my sister, so it feels very familiar to me to look after Mr. Chen Ming now, just like a younger brother."

Like a younger brother...

The older sister's eyes widened slightly, her lips twitched, and she looked at the seemingly naive Miss Urd in front of her. Was it really not intentional that she stepped on such a landmine so precisely?

Liuli raised an eyebrow and looked at Uld with an innocent expression. She had known Uld for a long time and of course knew what kind of person he was.

She pretends to be very kind, but she's actually a bit cunning. She often uses her innocent expression to drive her two younger sisters crazy.

Liuli crossed her arms and said—

"Don't bully your sister, we still have a score to settle."

Watch out or I'll beat you up.

Looking at her small body, Urd couldn't help but take a step back. She didn't want to be beaten up by Nidhogg under some pretext; it would hurt a lot.

Even after being told that, she still didn't want to hand over the silk thread. She bit her lower lip and said in a low, humble voice—

"This silk thread is for supporting Mr. Chen Ming; it's useless for you to take it..."

"Woven with threads from the 'past'..."

Liuli looked at her, remaining silent for a long time.

Miss Old gave a faint, ethereal smile and said—

"Where is the past... there is no present, no future... everything is broken, and failure means losing everything."

"..."

Liuli didn't say much, calmly shifting her gaze, she took her sister's hand and said—

"Let's go, sister."

"Ah."

The older sister followed Liuli to the lakeside and glanced back at Miss Uld. Miss Uld did not turn around to look at her; she just stood there, seemingly lost in her memories.

With her back to her and expressionless, Liuli led her sister into the water, only speaking at the very last moment—

"Are you the one most deeply bound by the 'past'...?"

woohoo...

The wind gradually calmed down, and the lake returned to its calm state.
