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

"what?"

Lucifer glanced at his slightly smug expression and tilted his head slightly. But he didn't stop cleaning.

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"Think about it, the Cowherd stole a piece of clothing and married a wife. If he stole all seven fairy maidens' clothes, wouldn't he have seven wives?"

"..."

"That's a really strange point of focus," Lucifer shook his head speechlessly, then laughed. This guy is always like this, coming up with strange ideas; it's nothing new to him.

Lucifer thought for a moment and said—

"You said that the Weaver Girl was a fairy from heaven, right?"

"correct."

"But the Cowherd is a mortal on earth, so why would stealing clothes be useful?"

"what?"

"If the clothes are stolen, can't we just get them back? Mortals on earth can't beat immortals, can they?"

"Um...this..."

He scratched his head; it was indeed a blind spot. He said—

"Was it because people in ancient times were more feudal? Did a girl have to marry a man just because he saw her body?"

"That can't be right, can it? He saw all seven fairies naked, and none of them held him accountable afterward, right?"

"Ah, this..."

He really couldn't explain it, so he rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, and said—

"Okay, I don't know either, maybe it's a bug."

"insect?"

"No, bug means vulnerability."

I don't think so.

Lucifer shook her head slightly, collected the trash into the bin, sealed the bag, and prepared to throw it away. She organized her thoughts and said—

"This shouldn't be a plot hole in the story, but rather that the circulated version has lost some details. Under what circumstances would a girl not be angry if someone saw her body and stole her clothes, but still want to marry him?"

"This……"

Chen Ming scratched his head. This kind of thing would make him furious, let alone a girl.

Lucifer turned his head, his red eyes looking at Chen Ming with a gentle gaze, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he smiled as he said—

"That's because the Weaver Girl had liked him for a long time, liked him so much that she asked someone to tell the Cowherd that she would come there to bathe, and then he stole her clothes."

"..."

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback as he looked at Lucifer, whose slender figure resembled a fairy descended to earth.

He went over and hugged her.

Lucifer had already been ambushed by him once, so she wasn't too surprised this time. Her red eyes lowered as she looked at the hands that were wrapped around her slender waist, and she said—

"It's not finished cleaning yet."

“Lucifer…”

Chen Ming called her name; she was someone who had fallen from the sky, his fairy, his angel…

He was afraid, worried that one day she would suddenly abandon him, a mere mortal. But she didn't; instead, she became an integral part of his life.

Lucifer smiled slightly and gently placed his hand on his arm.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Chen Ming's lips trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and said—

"Lucifer, did I steal your clothes...?"

Steal the reason you left.

Lucifer lowered his head and said softly—

"I still have many, many costs to pay, don't I?"

Chen Ming smiled, but it looked like he was about to cry, and said—

"Yes, it will take you a very, very long time to collect it..."

And I'm willing to give you everything.

Chapter 76 The Man Who Was Willing to Take Care of His Landlady

Chen Ming carried Cerberus and took Lucifer back home.

It was already afternoon. There were some dumplings in the refrigerator at noon. He often made a lot of dumplings and left them there. I wonder if that good-for-nothing Dongyi knows how to steam them himself.

Click.

As soon as I entered, I saw the landlady, still flipping through her homework, diligently studying.

She held her long pigtails in her arms, her small body resting on the table, a water-based pen in her hand against her chin, as if she were thinking.

The little girl doing her homework looks very well-behaved and cute, giving people a sense of maturity.

The landlady looked up at Chen Ming and said—

"You're back?"

"Yes, I'm back..."

Chen Ming walked in with a smile, followed by Lucifer. Lucifer glanced around and said to Chen Ming—

"I'll go cook first."

"I'll come down and help you later."

"it is good."

Lucifer went into the kitchen.

Chen Ming felt a sense of déjà vu and stood there stunned for a moment.

The landlady looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and asked—

"What's wrong with you? Why are you just standing there like an idiot?"

"No, I was thinking...did that scene just now look like a family gathering?"

"One, a family?"

The landlady's face suddenly flushed. Indeed, she had just said, "You're back," which sounded like her wife...

Chen Ming smiled and said—

"The scene of a child doing homework waiting for their parents to come home, and then the mother going into the kitchen to cook, is undoubtedly a family scene."

"..."

The landlady's smile slowly faded, and she lowered her head, her hand trembling slightly as she gripped the pen.

Why the hell?

The landlady gritted her teeth and said, "You just wait. Wait a few more years until I'm older..."

Chen Ming put Cerberus on the ground. The dog circled around him once, then ran into the kitchen. No one knew what trouble it would cause this time.

We should just stop making Lucifer angry, otherwise he'll throw it out the window again, and if someone sees it, they might think we're abusing our dog.

Om-!

Chen Ming glanced at his phone.

It was a message from my sister.

"Happy Qixi Festival, Chen Ming. I've been quite busy lately, and I was a little worried that if I called you, I wouldn't want to hang up, so I sent you a text message instead."

“I remember when I was little, my parents were always a bit irresponsible. They would go out and play on holidays like these, so we always spent Valentine’s Day and Qixi Festival together.”

"As we grow older, we don't have as many opportunities, but... that doesn't lessen my feelings. Chen Ming, your sister will always love you."

……

"Such embarrassing words again," Chen Ming scratched his cheek. As she grew older, his sister's words became more restrained, but now, for some reason, they've become just like before.

How strange.

Why is this?

Chen Ming sat on the sofa, Lucifer was cooking in the kitchen, Cerberus was causing trouble, the useless sword fairy was on the computer, and he himself patted the landlady on the head.

Can't figure it out.

He thought for a moment and decided to send something to his sister, so he just sent a random message.

Happy holidays, I love you too.

That's about it.

It was a very ordinary sentence, but for some reason he suddenly thought of what his sister had said to him that day, and the time he had secretly kissed his sister...

I felt a little guilty.

He patted the landlady's head vigorously to distract himself.

"...You're so annoying!"

The landlady complained to him.

He smiled and said—

"Why are you so diligent lately? Shouldn't you be having fun during summer vacation?"

"While you're playing, others are studying hard and will surpass you in no time, so you can't play. We'll assign you a mountain of homework... That's basically what our teachers mean."

The landlady's words made Chen Ming feel as if he had returned to his student days. Could it be that all teachers in the world come from the same school? They all say similar things.
