The Life Extension Society's hidden condition was that all its members had to be orphans.
But Ugou Mirai's mother was still alive and well.
When Ugou Mirai heard Fang Cheng say that, she thought he was turning her down. Disappointment immediately showed on her little face.
Fang Cheng added, "Of course, I can make an exception for you."
Ugou Mirai wasn't Yuguang Kaori's biological daughter. She was the "Proof" Ghost Lord had brought back, and whether she even had parents was uncertain.
That meant she met the hidden condition for joining this little group.
"Really?"
The dog ears on Ugou Mirai's head popped out, and her tail emerged from beneath her short skirt.
She excitedly clung to Fang Cheng's arm, nuzzling against him happily. If there hadn't been other people in the office, she would have practically pounced on him and licked his face.
Fang Cheng stroked her dog ears, then ran his hand down her back, gently petting the tail that peeked out from beneath her short skirt.
It was fluffy and felt wonderful.
Although this little group for extending their lives had lost its original purpose, Fang Cheng had already envisioned expanding its membership once they had made it through the toughest times, turning it into a much larger network of connections.
Bringing Ugou Mirai in was only the first step. Iron-Cast Palace and the Landlady's Fox Immortal House were also on the list.
Actually, Fang Cheng now regretted telling Takeda Masumi to keep her distance from the Cyborg.
He could have used her connection with the Cyborg to build a secret escape route in Machine City.
If anything happened in Tokyo, they could flee to Iron-Cast Palace or Machine City.
Fang Cheng had never thought of himself as a monster, but the humans might not consider him
