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

Besides, with the traffic jam right now, it's impossible for any drunk drivers to speed by, right? I wonder what happened to that drunk driver from before; it would be best if he were sentenced and imprisoned for a few years.

However, I don't think the sentence will be too severe, since no one was injured. It will probably just involve paying compensation, admitting wrongdoing, and having the driver's license revoked.

Ugh, this is really annoying.

Chen Ming pursed his lips, thinking of something unpleasant, and reached out to pat Cerberus's head, which improved his mood a bit.

"Wang?"

Cerberus nestled in the basket, and although the ride was quite bumpy, she didn't seem to mind.

stomping on...

A pedestrian crossed the zebra crossing, and Chen Ming glanced at him.

Ok?

Something feels off.

"Well……"

Cerberus stood up in the basket.

Chen Ming watched the figure walk past him. The figure had white hair, blue eyes, and was holding a camera, fiddling with something.

Tap tap tap... Thick-soled boots trotted across the ground as they walked slowly.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, she stopped, slowly turned her head, and looked at Chen Ming on the motorcycle.

blinked.

He said with a smile—

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

"skillful?"

Chen Ming looked at the woman in front of him. She seemed to be someone he had never seen before. Her hair was white. If he had seen her before, he would definitely remember her.

Cerberus, however, looked down at the woman, bared his teeth slightly, and let out a threatening sound—

"Hoo-hoo..."

"The dog's here too. Are you heading to the store?"

The woman reached out to pet the dog's head, but seeing Cerberus's expression as if to bite, she withdrew her hand and said—

"Bad dog, it just wants to bite people."

Chen Ming found it really strange and asked—

"Um, do we know each other?"

It seemed the other party knew a lot about what was going on here, about Cerberus, and about opening a shop. Could they be a customer? But Chen Ming had no recollection of them.

what happened?

The woman blinked and said—

"I ate at the store before, boss, you really have a bad memory."

"...What did you eat?"

"The dumplings weren't as good as the ones my sisters make, but they were still pretty good."

The white-haired woman smiled again, then, as if remembering something, reached into her bosom and said—

"Oh right, I forgot to give you the money before. Perfect, let me make it up to you first... Hmm, the money in this world... never mind, I'll give you some 'equivalent' instead."

She held out her hand and handed me a card.

Chen Ming frowned, but still took it.

He looked at the card, which was a vast expanse of white, like a vortex of light, while the back was as deep as a black hole.

"what is this?"

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow, weighed it in his hand, and felt that it was rather heavy.

The white-haired woman waved her hand and said—

"A small toy, though not worth much money, is enough to cover the cost of a meal."

As they were talking, the traffic light was about to change.

The white-haired woman slowly walked to the other side of the road, and took the opportunity to pat Cerberus's head.

"what?"

Chen Ming wanted to ask for clarification, but the light had already turned green, and the cars behind him needed to go too, so he had no choice but to drive away.

I tried to look at the white-haired woman in the rearview mirror, but she had already disappeared.

He turned around, but there was indeed no trace of him.

Extra Chapter: I Just Crave Afu's Body

(To reiterate, the side story is a standalone short story.)

The weather was really hot. Chen Ming looked at the sun outside the shop, which was blazing.

Summer is a great season. Watermelon and cola are refreshing, but I really don't want to go out because I'll get sunburned.

Such weather would be unbearable without air conditioning. He faced the air conditioner, enjoying the cool breeze, and let out comfortable breaths.

"Don't turn on the air conditioner like that, you'll catch a cold."

A gentle voice sounded behind him.

He turned his head and saw a slender figure wearing an apron, sweeping with a broom from the shop.

Her gray hair flowed straight down to her waist. Her beautiful face gave off a friendly vibe, and her gray eyes held a gentle charm.

He rested his chin on his hand and smiled as he said—

"Ah Fu still cares about me the most. Let's elope."

"Stop fooling around."

Afu has gotten used to his ramblings and has gradually learned to focus on her own things and ignore him.

But he persisted, taking her slender, soft hand in his and saying—

"I'm serious, they all went to have fun, leaving the two of us behind, it's too much."

"Everyone else went to fix the 'door,' but the two of us were assigned to watch the shop, weren't we?"

"There aren't many customers, let's skip it."

"...The guests will scold you for being inconsistent, like working hard for three days and resting for two, or being obsessed with women. They might not say it to your face, but they'll probably say it behind your back."

Afu shook his head, trying to persuade this increasingly shameless guy to take his work seriously.

To everyone's surprise, he actually yelled—

"I'm willing to be obsessed with women!"

He grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. A-Fu was very light, and he always liked to hold her; her weight was just right.

He rested his face against her neck and said—

"Let's go have some fun, just this once."

"..."

Ah Fu gently resisted his teasing, but she was really at her wit's end, and said with a blushing face—

"Then... it's just for today, where do you want to go?"

"Great! It's so hot, let's go to the beach."

"seaside?"

Ah Fu looked at the bright sun outside and said—

"The sun is so bright."

"It's okay, just apply sun protection sleeves."

"...Then let's go, to Silver Beach?"

"There are too many people there. Let's go somewhere further away. Anyway, A-Fu, your flying sword is very fast. Let's go somewhere where there are no people."

"You don't need to go to a deserted place; finding a place with fewer people will do."

"..."

Chen Ming paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said—

"I don't want anyone to see your body, is that not allowed?"

He can only see it himself; it reflects a strong sense of possessiveness.

Ah Fu smiled slightly and said—

"Ok."

It's because he cares about her so much.

……

Flying on their swords, they quickly arrived at a deserted beach. Afu was wearing blue hot pants and a simple black swimsuit.

Her tight belly button was exposed, her fair arms were adorned with several bracelets, and her slender legs were shod in white slippers, revealing her pink toes.

He looked at her chest.

A regret as always.

Afu took out a parasol and a deck chair from his spatial bag, set them up, and lay down on them. He enjoyed drinking cola under the shade of the parasol while looking at the blazing sun.

His gaze was piercing; he slightly covered his chest with his hand and said—

"Don't look anymore, I'm flat-chested anyway."
