I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Remilia roared, revealing sharp teeth, and pounced on tide. tide, however, quickly circled behind Li Cheng, making a face at Remilia. Enraged, Remilia, lifting her skirt and momentarily forgetting she could fly, stubbornly chased after Xi, circling Li Cheng. The two girls ran in circles, using Li Cheng as a pillar, again and again.

"Stop it right now!"

Reaching out, Li Cheng pressed down on both Xi's and Remilia's heads simultaneously. tide immediately stopped, letting Li Cheng's hand rest on her head. Remilia tried to grab Xi on the other side, but was completely unable to move due to the overwhelming difference in Li Cheng's strength.

"tide, it's not right to take jokes too far."

Li Cheng reached out and flicked tide's forehead. After hearing her cautious "I was wrong," Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then took the hat off tide's head and turned to hand it to Remilia on the other side.

"Sorry, my tide isn't usually like this. She might be a little excited this time, so she wanted to tease you. This hat is yours, right? Here."

Releasing his hand from Remilia's head, Li Cheng handed the hat to the girl before him. He could see the lingering anger in her eyes. But under Li Cheng's sincere expression, Remilia coughed twice reluctantly and took the hat from his hand.

"Forget it, I won't argue with a child."

Remilia casually referred to Shio, who was much taller than her, as a child, then put her hat back on, her expression regaining some of its arrogance.

“Well then, Miss Remilia,” Li Cheng recalled the girl’s self-introduction, considered his words, and slowly began, “I hope you can tell me how you came to this city and why you were in that alley, is that alright?”

...Fifteen minutes later.

Under the soft, pale yellow light of the living room, Li Cheng placed a freshly brewed, still steaming cup of black tea on the coffee table in front of Remilia, who was sitting on the sofa, before sitting down on the sofa himself.

“This cheap black tea is nothing compared to Sakuya’s,” Remilia said, picking up the teacup and taking a small sip. “At the very least, you should add some blood to it (whispering).”

"I'm so sorry, no one in my family has the habit of drinking tea. The tea leaves for this black tea were brought back from a gathering a few months ago, so I'll have to make do with this."

Li Cheng said with a smile, then his expression gradually became serious.

"So, according to Miss Remilia, you come from a place called the 'Scarlet Devil Mansion,' and are its master. You were caught up in a spatial anomaly that you yourself are unaware of, and then accidentally arrived at this place, is that right?"

"That's right, my arrival here was entirely accidental. This is not a place suitable for me to live, so I need to go back. However, this world is rejecting me quite strongly, and with my current strength, finding a way back will probably be extremely difficult."

Sitting upright on the sofa, Remilia, who clearly looked like a child, made mature gestures as if she were an adult discussing business, and spoke with a serious expression.

"Is that so? In other words, you want to ask for our help, Miss Remilia?"

Without much thought, Li Cheng understood what the other party wanted to express.

Remilia frowned, seemingly uncomfortable with the word "request." But after careful consideration, she reluctantly nodded. She was indeed in poor condition, and returning on her own would be far too difficult. Since this man had been chosen by the monsters of the gap, he must possess extraordinary abilities, and she could try to utilize him.

After all, she was a fantasy-level vampire with over 500 years of life experience, and a leader with her own power and loyal subordinates. Remilia was well aware of her current situation and wouldn't act recklessly.

On Li Cheng's side, although the other party was a vampire race that was extremely unfriendly to humans, due to the contract from Xi and the shared vague memories, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with the girl in front of him, as if he had known her for a long time. So, after thinking for a while, Li Cheng made up his mind.

"Although I don't know what my teammates will think, at least from my own perspective, I am still willing to help you, Miss Remilia."

Extending a hand, Li Cheng smiled and said, acknowledging his assistance to the girl.

"Thank you very much for your help. I will reward you, Mr. Warrior."

Remilia smiled as well, extending her hand. Just as they were about to shake hands, a soft sliding sound rang out, and then, a look of panic instantly replaced Remilia's smile.

"Whoa!" "Bang!"

Because Remilia stretched her hand out too far forward and leaned too far forward, she suddenly lost her balance and slid off the sofa, hitting her head on the hard coffee table with a crisp sound.

"...Ouch, it hurts..."

Clutching her head, the young blue-haired vampire girl squatted motionless on the ground, her face filled with pain and grievance.

Chapter 9, Section 149: Li Chengjia's Morning

At seven o'clock in the morning, after a night of intense fighting, Li Cheng was inevitably a little tired. While washing up, he could see faint dark circles around his eyes in the mirror.

Yawning, Li Cheng went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself and Xi, as usual. Breakfast was usually not too lavish, but rather light. However, Xi always had a good appetite and could finish even light meals, so Li Cheng never had to worry about her being a picky eater.

Wait, speaking of which, should we make an extra breakfast for one person today?

While cooking, Li Cheng suddenly remembered that besides himself and tide, there was a little guest in his home.

Speaking of which, are vampires allowed to eat human food?

Li Cheng pondered silently, then turned and walked towards the bedroom. Opening the door, he found tide still fast asleep on her special little bed, clutching her ever-present fox-shaped pillow. Meanwhile, on the large bed where Li Cheng usually slept, Remilia was sleeping in a rather unseemly position, her expression unusually sweet.

Yes, Li Cheng slept on the sofa last night. His own bed was given to Remilia. To be honest, Remilia initially seemed quite reluctant to sleep in Li Cheng's bed. In the end, Xi had to drag her into the bedroom. Unexpectedly, she's sleeping so soundly now.

Come to think of it, this girl acted quite mature and arrogant during our conversation last night, but in such an unintentional moment, she still revealed her childish side?

Li Cheng frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't come to any effective conclusion. He simply went to Xi and woke her up. Xi groggily got out of bed, yawning, and started getting dressed. Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, then went to Remilia, who was lying on the bed, fast asleep in a spread-eagle position.

"Um, Miss Remilia, isn't it time to get up?"

The girl on the bed was snoring softly, completely unmoved.

"Ahem, Miss Remilia, it's time to get up." Li Cheng coughed a few times, raising his voice.

“…Ugh.”

Remilia frowned, but didn't open her eyes. She turned over and buried her face completely in the soft pillow, continuing to sleep.

I have this strange feeling of déjà vu... Oh, right, Xi has the same problem. No matter how much I call her, she won't get out of bed; I have to physically push and shake her awake. Isn't this girl behaving exactly like tide?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Cheng stepped forward, gently patted Remilia's shoulder, and said, "It's time to get up." At this moment, the girl lying on the bed finally opened her eyes, looking around somewhat dazedly. Then she yawned and sat up.

"Sakuya, why did you wake me up so early? Is something the matter?"

With a slightly confused tone, Remilia asked softly. Then, her body trembled suddenly as she realized her current situation, and her small cheeks immediately flushed red.

"W-when did you get in? Human, how dare you spy on my sleeping posture! You have some nerve!"

With a rather annoyed expression, Remilia sat on the edge of the bed and spoke loudly, while the huge bat wings behind her fluttered, as if adding to the girl's imposing aura.

"Uh, I'm really sorry, Miss Remilia."

While feeling awkward about Remilia's strange and slightly childish way of speaking, Li Cheng still apologized quite sincerely. After all, this wasn't his Shio, and the two weren't that close, so Li Cheng naturally had no intention of disciplining or teasing her.

Wow, they apologized so readily?!

Remilia was completely unprepared for Li Cheng's actions. Subconsciously, she thought that Li Cheng would continue to force her to get up, just like the loyal maid in her house, who would not give her any leeway in daily matters such as getting up and would shake her awake every time she wanted to sleep in.

That was one of the few times when Remilia felt helpless against her capable maid.

What happened after she woke up made Remilia's gaze completely fixed on Li Cheng.

She skillfully cooked, skillfully made Xi's bed, and skillfully smoothed the wrinkles from tide's clothes. Then she served the food to the table, gently reminded Xi not to spill any soup while eating, and gently wiped away the food residue stuck to the corners of Xi's mouth. She smiled, patted tide's little head, and said, "Silly girl."

Because she is a vampire, she doesn't need human food and thus refuses breakfast. Remilia, who was sitting to the side, unconsciously frowned.

This seemingly warm father-daughter interaction inexplicably annoyed her! Even though she was just sitting and watching, it was incredibly frustrating!

"Um, Miss Remilia, what's wrong?"

Noticing that Remilia's expression was gradually darkening, Li Cheng asked with some curiosity.

“Human,” Remilia said with great dissatisfaction, “since you’ve decided to assist me, shouldn’t you at least do some basic things?”

"Ah, of course."

Li Cheng was a little puzzled as to what Remilia was trying to express by suddenly bringing this up, but he still answered naturally.

"Then, what about the blood that was provided for me?"

"what?"

"...Have you forgotten my race?"

"I'm so sorry, I've never had such a friendly and close encounter before, I didn't think of that for a moment."

Li Cheng apologized earnestly, and then Remilia suggested adding her blood to the black tea, which Li Cheng agreed to. After some effort, Li Cheng cut his wrist, let out a little blood, brewed a cup of black tea, added the blood to it, and served it to Remilia.

Remilia, sitting upright on the sofa, casually took the teacup from Li Cheng's hand, took a small sip, and then frowned.

He just haphazardly mixed blood and tea together! This man seemed so skilled at taking care of that monster, but he clearly doesn't know how to make tea at all. Hmph, in that case, my Sakuya is definitely much better!

Then she took a small sip of tea.

Uh, but this guy's blood tastes... kind of nice.

As a powerful martial artist, Li Cheng's blood already contained immense vitality, and after forming a contract with Xi, his power reached an even higher level. For a vampire like Remilia, who feeds on blood, this was undoubtedly a delicious meal. And…

"Um, um, human, what's your blood type again?"

Shrinking back, Remilia blushed, lowered her head, and held the teacup she had already drunk most of, asking shyly in a low voice.

"Blood type? It's B. What's wrong? Is there a problem, Miss Remilia?"

Although Li Cheng found it a bit strange, he still answered Remilia's question directly. While clearing away the dishes, he told Xi, who had run to the side with her fox-shaped pillow, to put on her hat so they could go out later. At the same time, he was thinking about how to discuss things with everyone after taking Remilia to the sixth group's branch.

So that's how it is. You're blood type B. No wonder I was so... out of control.

While feeling somewhat embarrassed about her earlier rudeness in gulping down the entire cup of black tea, Remilia also secretly harbored the idea of ​​taking the man in front of her back to where she was.

After all, judging from last night's battle, he still possesses considerable strength. Furthermore, his character is decent, and the type of blood he consumes tastes quite good…

No, no, no, I think I should just give up. Although he seems reliable enough, and his blood tastes good, he's still far from being as good as my maid. Such an inelegant man is definitely not qualified to enter my manor.

Yes, that's right. My noble mansion really can't be occupied by such an unrefined man. However, if he just wants to take a look, I'll mercifully allow him in. That would be proof that he's gained the Scarlett family's approval.

Various thoughts swirled in Remilia's mind, but to Li Cheng, she simply remained seated. Ignoring what the girl was thinking, Li Cheng first went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, then returned to the living room, preparing to use the gap to take Remilia and Shio directly to the sixth group's branch.

Saving time was one reason, but on the other hand, Remilia's large, jet-black wings were indeed too eye-catching.

At this moment, Li Chengcai realized that Remilia's gaze towards him had taken on a smug look, as if she had just made a decision to bestow some charity.

This child is really hard to understand...
