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

He followed them down to the courtyard gate, and then, upon seeing the people who had arrived, his serious expression froze. It turned out to be two young women and a white cat, standing in front of a van.

He had originally planned to take the initiative and ask the other party how they raised their child to do such a thing, but seeing the two girls, he swallowed his words.

There's no way I could get angry at a little girl.

He asked in confusion—

"What are you doing...?"

"Grandpa, I am Cerberus!"

Cerberus grinned broadly, revealing his adorable little fangs, and greeted his grandfather with great enthusiasm. His cheerful demeanor seemed to infect even the old-fashioned grandfather.

"Sister Cerberus..."

Little Gu Qing couldn't help but gently tug at her clothes, then placed her hands in front of her, politely bowed her head to her grandfather, and said—

"Hello Grandpa, I'm Gu Qing, Chen Ming's family member. I've come to deliver supplies."

"You are Chen Ming's..."

One had white hair and red eyes, looking like a foreigner; the other's surname was Gu. Why wasn't anyone surnamed Chen? Well, their whole family was surnamed Chen.

Grandpa frowned and said

"Where are Chen Ming's parents? Or rather, his uncles and aunts? Are they hiding and afraid to see us? Humph, I really don't know what kind of family this is. The young ones are like this, and the old ones are too..."

"..."

Classic self-criticism?

Cerberus and Gu Qing looked at each other. Cerberus covered his mouth, turned his head away, and struggled to suppress his laughter.

Gu Qing quickly pulled her back to stop her from laughing, but he himself couldn't help but chuckle. He managed to suppress his laughter with excellent self-control and said—

"No, that's not it... It's because... it was just too urgent, there wasn't time to notify everyone. We came with Chen Ming, and he asked us to prepare supplies beforehand."

Grandpa thought about it and felt that what the other party said was not wrong. It was understandable that there was not enough time in just one day. This wedding was held in an emergency to clear Xiaomei's name and was not notified in advance.

But something seemed off, he asked—

"Chen Ming told you to prepare things in advance? He knew it would turn out like this?"

"No, we originally planned to hold a banquet in the village to invite everyone, and at the same time clear up the misunderstanding and dispel the rumors about Chen Mei. But when we heard it turned into a wedding, it was perfect."

Gu Qing responded with a smile, her response was impeccable. As the queen of the Gu family, such improvisation was child's play for her. What kind of situation hadn't she seen?

Grandpa's doubts were indeed dispelled, and he said—

"I see... He really put his heart into it for Xiaomei..."

Her opinion of Chen Ming improved somewhat, and she sighed softly. Perhaps Xiaomei could truly find happiness marrying him; the way he considered her so carefully showed that he genuinely loved her.

Everything he did was for Xiaomei.

Cerberus said—

“Master has always been very kind to Aunt... Xiaomei.”

The silly dog ​​almost let it slip.

However, this statement was already a slip of the tongue. Grandpa looked at her and said—

"Owner?"

Is this girl still treated like a servant? Is the other party some kind of powerful family? If so, I wonder if Xiaomei can adapt.

The goods in the van were unloaded, and Grandpa took them to find Chen Ming.

"Meow!"

The white cat seemed impatient, as it jumped out of Gu Qing's arms, leaped onto the green tiles, and disappeared, probably leaving first.

Sure enough, in a rather secluded courtyard, Chen Ming sat on the wooden fence, gently stroking the white cat that suddenly darted down from the rooftop.

He stroked her chin with his finger, listened to her comfortable purring, and smiled.

"Owner!"

Cerberus called his name, but she wasn't too excited. After all, she had always been with him and had never left; it was just that others couldn't see her clone.

He turned around, looked at them, and said with a smile—

"You've arrived, come in quickly."

Gu Qing and Cerberus both came in, but Grandpa stopped at the door, glanced at him, and hesitated.

Chen Ming noticed, smiled, walked over, and said—

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The old man was taken aback when he saw that the man seemed completely unconcerned, and that his kindness towards him didn't seem fake. He glanced at the gauze on the man's head and said—

"you……"

"this?"

Chen Ming touched the gauze on his head and then realized that his grandfather was holding a grudge. He smiled and said—

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"...Aren't you angry?"

"what?"

Chen Ming blinked. His grandfather's words made him want to laugh. What was there to be angry about being hit by his grandfather? Besides, he had been faking it, which was why he didn't dodge or dodge and was hit hard. In reality, he wasn't injured.

He took his grandfather's hand and said—

“I know, Grandpa cares too much about Xiaomei, I understand. If it were me, if my daughter was harassed by someone, it wouldn’t be as simple as breaking a stick, I would give her a good beating, and whether she lives or dies would be up to fate.”

"So, I didn't hit you hard enough?"

Grandpa raised an eyebrow.

Chen Ming said—

"Of course, you should hit them lightly."

"..."

Grandpa looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. Looking at his own feet, he said—

"What a smooth talker... no wonder Xiaomei likes him."

He's articulate, responsible, and intelligent. Grandpa finds Chen Ming increasingly pleasing to the eye, yet there's a certain awkwardness, an indescribable sense of closeness.

He scratched his head, opening and closing his mouth several times. It was rare to see such a conflicted expression on his usually stern face. Looking at Chen Ming's delighted expression, he really couldn't understand why the other person had such a natural warmth towards him.

Grandpa said—

"What happened before was wrong of me."

After saying that, he became unsteady on his feet and started walking back. Chen Ming was taken aback, watching his grandfather quickly walk away, probably feeling a little embarrassed.

At home, only Chen Ming receives his grandfather's apology; the old man only puts aside his pride to coax his beloved grandson.

Chen Ming lowered his eyes slightly, looking at his gray hair, his feelings were hard to express.

Grandpa walked several hundred meters before he realized what was happening.

Did Chen Ming keep calling him "Grandpa"? Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Following Xiao Mei's example, shouldn't he be calling him "Dad"?

He glanced back at the courtyard, but inexplicably felt that the way it was addressed was perfectly natural, so much so that he didn't realize anything was wrong.

That's really strange...

Chapter 859 Conquering the Abyss, Stealing the Queen!

Yellow sand swept by the strong wind, turning the sky a blood-red hue. Such scenes are common in hell, especially near the abyss and the gates of hell, where life is utterly extinguished.

This environment strangely matched the atmosphere of hell, as if there was no hope left, and one was just barely surviving in this place.

woohoo...

The wind blows past a black castle, majestic and imposing, with dark purple veins flowing with shadowy energy, and black obelisks soaring into the clouds, piercing the sky.

She sat on the sloping side of the obelisk's spire, her red eyes gazing down at the clock tower, whose hands moved incessantly, but counter-clockwise, a rather eerie sight.

It doesn't feel like a timer, it feels more like a countdown.

Quietly waiting for a certain moment.

"Lord Lucifer..."

She murmured the man's name, looked up at the blood-red sky, and her black wings spread out behind her, summoning a blood moon.

White hair flowed down her alluring face, with two long, pointed horns emerging from it. She wore a black dress that seemed to embody the grace of Fengwei.

If her upper body could still be described as human beauty, then her lower body was a non-human form. Her legs were well-proportioned, with hooves, resembling the lower body of a goat, yet possessing a strange and inexplicable beauty.

Her black fur was smooth and glossy, and her inhuman appearance, combined with her alluring beauty, made her seem both dangerous and seductive, beyond words.

One leg was pressed against the obelisk's slope, the other slightly bent, the pale human holding her knee, listening to the howling wind, murmuring to herself—

"That was definitely Lord Lucifer's aura, but why did it only appear for a moment and then disappear..."

She recalled the familiar aura she had felt before, thinking it was the return of that person, but it turned out to be just a fleeting moment.

Is it still not time yet?

She looked at the clock tower again; the huge clock, turning counterclockwise, was still working diligently.

Tick-tock...tick-tock...drop...

As she looked at it, her red eyes lowered slightly.

Then suddenly...

Click.

The clock hand stopped slightly to the right of noon and ceased to move.

"Ok?"

She suddenly widened her eyes and stood up. Her figure didn't look very big, but because of her goat-like lower body, she was much taller when she stood up than she appeared.
