Chapter 5 — Raising a Demon King as a Pet by Mistake

“Why is cheap human shower gel more fragrant than thousands of years of snow?”

“This is definitely some kind of mind-disturbing sorcery. The deity has fallen in love with her. That's for sure.”

He repeated that wild conclusion in his head three times. Then calmly close your eyes. The tip of the tail gently, very gently, wrapped around one of her fingers.

Chapter 5 Tieu Ngan becomes more and more strange. Or to be more precise, there is more and more "territory consciousness". Saturday morning, I sat on the backyard grass brushing the boys' fur. Recently Tieu That is molting. The gray hair that had just been combed fell out. He was so comfortable that his eyes widened, lying on his back on my lap, all four legs up in the air.

"Tieu That is so good."

I just brushed and praised.

“The most obedient wolf cub!”

Tieu That was so happy that her tail shook like an electric fan, and she stuck out her tongue to lick my hand. I smiled, lifted his face and kissed his forehead.

“Auntie's favorite—”

I haven't finished speaking yet— A silvery white shadow rushed out like lightning, accurately squeezing Tieu That to the side, the whole fox lying horizontally on my lap. Tieu Ngan lies on her back, revealing her soft white belly, her front legs naturally hanging in front of her chest. The amber eyes were half closed and half open, looking like they didn't care at all. But its tail is tightly wrapped around my wrist.

“Tieu Ngan?”

I was stunned. It moved its ears slightly, still keeping the expression "this defendant just happened to be here". But the belly was clearly exposed right in front of me. After many days of observation, I discovered that every time I complimented, kissed or just looked at another child a little longer, Tieu Ngan used all kinds of methods to appear in front of me. Pushing the others aside is just a basic operation. Yesterday, when I hugged Nhu Me to watch the sunset, Tieu Ngan "accidentally" fell off the window sill, landing right in front of me, all four legs up in the air. Amber eyes full of reproach:

“Don't you care about me?”

I was so scared that I immediately put Nhu Me down to check if he was injured. It immediately became healthy, found a comfortable position in my lap and lay down. The other day, I tied Doan Tu a red bow, praising him for looking like a little gentleman. When I turned around, I don't know where Tieu Ngan got a white wildflower, held it, placed it at my feet, then sat up straight, slightly raising her chin. Appearance as if to say:

“This report is ten thousand times more beautiful than that orange fur ball without jewelry.”

I laughed until my stomach hurt.

“Okay, okay, Tieu Ngan is the most handsome.”

I put a wildflower in its ear. Its ears vibrated twice, then used an extremely restrained posture to slightly tilt its head to adjust the flower more neatly. This little animal certainly has its own temperament. Furthermore— It seemed like it actually understood what I said. Not the kind of vague reaction with a normal animal-like tone, but truly understanding the meaning of the words. The few times I muttered to myself, it responded extremely accurately. For example yesterday I said:

“The cup on the cabinet is too high, I can't reach it.”

When I turned around, I discovered that Tieu Ngan had climbed up onto the cabinet and was using her head to push the cup towards the edge. Or this morning I said:

“It's forecast to rain this afternoon, so we'll have to bring in a mattress from the yard.”

It immediately grabbed a corner of the mattress and pulled it into the house. Even though I pulled it for half a day, it could only move three centimeters because the mattress was too big. In animal behavior there is a phenomenon phenomenon called "outstanding learning ability". Some young animals, because of their special development environment, will develop cognitive abilities far beyond those of their peers of the same age, just like a cat knowing how to open a door or a dog knowing how to press an elevator. Tieu Ngan must be a young animal with special talents. It's just a little slow development. So when it came with the flower in its mouth, I honestly thought it was just a smart little animal imitating human behavior. I never thought otherwise. As for Dung Cuu Uyen— No, “Tieu Ngan”— Lying on my lap enjoying the care, but her inner monologue has already reached the third volume:

“…The number of times she praised the stupid wolf today: Seven times. The number of times she caressed it: Eleven times. The number of times she caressed the deity: Only four times.”

“Four versus eleven.”

“The deity is a nine-tailed silver fox, the master of ten thousand demons, yet he lost to a four-month-old gray wolf?”

“Can't help it.”

He turned over, letting my hand just fall onto his stomach.

“…Um. It's not that the deity actively asked her to rub her belly. It's that she put her hand in the wrong place. The deity was just correcting her mistake.”

I obediently started rubbing. His eyes slowly narrowed and a purr rang out.

“…In addition, the deity should seriously consider an issue: Does her act of treating all offspring equally violate the terms of fidelity after signing the contract?”

“According to the law of the demon race, after performing the contract ceremony, the two parties must…”

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr…”

While thinking, he fell asleep under my hand rubbing his belly. The tip of the tail is slightly curved, swaying in the sunlight. Doan Tu stood far away looking at this scene, turned around and whispered a few words to Dau Sa next to him. Roughly translated:

“Sir seems to be becoming more and more abnormal…”

Dau Sa wagged his tail, looking completely unconcerned.

Chapter 6 On the ninth day, something happened. I'm teaching the kids to "show off their talents". The reason is that I scrolled through my phone and saw a video in which the channel owner teaches his Samoyed dog to shake hands, roll over and pretend to be dead. Likes are over a million. I don't think there's anyone cuter than a Samoyed in our six cotton balls, right? If you record a video and post it— Of course you can't reveal that they're a demon race, but just recording it like a normal pet video should be fine. Alright. The main reason is still poverty. What's wrong with imagining making money from views?

“Come on, Doan Tu, shake hands!”

Doan Tu raised his round front leg and placed it in my palm. Success.

“Dau Sa, turn around!”

Dau Sa rotated three times in place, rotated so much that he became dizzy and fell down.

“Nhu Me, act cute!”

Nhu Me tilted her head and blinked her big eyes. Natural skills. Absolute score.

“Tieu That, roll around!”

Tieu That rolled eight times on the ground, couldn't brake, and rolled straight into the flower bed.

“Snowball… just be yourself.”

Tuyet Cau calmly washed his face. Finally, I looked at Tieu Ngan sitting on the steps, observing from beginning to end with "what stupid tricks are you guys playing?" eyes.

“Tieu Ngan.”

I clapped my hands.

“Come here, shake hands?”

It looked at me. That look— If the fox could express the concept of “are you insulting me”, it would probably be this look. It didn't budge.
