“Ceresa, you said your name is Seresa?” Bayonita was taken aback when she heard the little girl say her name. She remembered that Joan of Arc had said that her name was also Seresa.

However, hearing little Seresa's crying made her somewhat irritated. She snatched little Seresa from Shen Ye's hands and said helplessly to her, "There are two things I hate most in the world: cockroaches and crying children... Luckily, it's only you who's a crying child. If there were a crying cockroach, it would be absolutely terrifying... So you're not allowed to cry anymore."

Little Ceressa nodded, tears welling in her eyes, "Okay, Mommy."

Bayonetta looked up in despair, but she couldn't do anything to the little girl. Seeing the feigned confusion on Shen Ye's face, she sighed, turned the little girl to face Shen Ye, and said, "This is my man, but I didn't do anything with him. Although I wanted to... well, you're still a child, why should I tell you this? But since you call me Mommy, you should call him Daddy."

“But this older brother isn’t my dad,” little Ceresa said earnestly.

“Then I’m definitely not your mommy.” Bayonetta became fierce again: “I only have one man, if you call me mommy, then you should call him daddy.”

"But...but...he's really not my dad." Little Ceresa was clever. She looked at Shen Ye, then back at Bayonetta, and asked in a puzzled voice, "Did you divorce my biological father?"

"Hiss!" Bayonetta gasped, looking at Shen Ye shaking his head. She felt like crying. What was going on?

“Mr. Cat, you have to believe me.” Bayonetta felt she needed to explain things to him.

Shen Ye pinched the bridge of his nose, pretending to be very sad, but in reality he was laughing his head off. On the surface, he said in a serious tone, "Saying all this is useless. Perhaps... we can take her to get a paternity test."

“Then let’s go now.” Without another word, Bayonetta picked up little Seresa and turned to leave.

"What about the gemstone?" Shen Ye followed her and asked.

Bayonetta didn't stop, gritting her teeth as she said, "What could be more important than proving my innocence?"

Suddenly, she stopped and looked at Shen Ye, continuing, "If all else fails, we can go to a hotel. I still have my virginity."

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow: "Don't say that in front of young girls."

“She doesn’t understand, she’s still a child.” Bayonetta gently shook little Ceresa in her arms, but the little girl smiled happily and said, “I understand, Mommy.”

“I said… I, no, am, your, mommy!” Bayonetta said, enunciating each word clearly.

She's going crazy.

“But you are my mommy.” Little Ceresa, who was being held in mid-air, hugged her Cheshire Cat plush toy, her two short legs crossed, and spoke with a particularly serious tone.

Shen Ye added insult to injury, "Never mind, Miss Cat, it's not a big deal to have a daughter. I can reluctantly be her father."

“You’re not my dad.” Little Seresa turned to look at Shen Ye, pouting as she said, “I have a dad.”

"Then who is your father, and where is he? I'll take you there right now, and then I'll confront him face to face. If he can't give me a straight answer, I'll shoot him." Bayonetta raised a Scarborough Fair pistol and used the muzzle to lift little Ceresa's chin.

This scene terrified Shen Ye, who was afraid that Miss Cat might accidentally go off the rails and send herself to her death.

"I don't know where my dad is. He's always busy working," little Ceresa said, distressed. "My dad never plays with me."

"How about I, your dad, play with you?" Shen Ye didn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of Bayonetta, and also took little Seresa from Bayonetta's hands to keep her away from the gun.

"No." Little Seresa turned her head away in disgust, but did not reject Shen Ye's hug.

“Mr. Cat, she’s really not my daughter. If you like daughters, we can have one, or even ten.” Bayonetta said, both annoyed and hopeful, as she watched Shen Ye start teasing the little girl.

"What about her?" Shen Ye lifted little Seresa up, supporting her under her armpits with both hands and swaying her towards Bayonetta.

“Throw it away,” Bayonetta glanced at little Ceresa.

This statement immediately made little Ceresa cry.

"Mommy doesn't want me anymore."

"If you cry again, I really won't want you anymore... Oh my god, I'm really not your mother, why am I telling you this, Mr. Cat, just throw her away."

Bayonetta angrily pinched little Ceresa's cheeks, pulling her chubby little face apart forcefully.

"No, I can be reluctant to part with her, I think she's adorable." Shen Ye hugged little Seresa and said to her, "Come on, call me Daddy."

“I don’t want to,” little Ceresa disagreed.

Shen Ye said with a smile, "Call me Dad and I'll let your mommy keep you and not throw you away."

"Really?" Little Seresa was still a child, and her stance was not firm at all.

"Really." Shen Ye nodded, very forcefully, as if to prove the truth of his words.

"Alright then." Little Seresa hesitated for a moment, then called out in a clear voice:

"father!"

"Eh!"

Shen Ye immediately beamed with joy; he felt much better.

……

(For those who haven't played the game, Little Seresa is Bayonetta.)

(This shouldn't be considered a spoiler, right?)

Chapter 539! A Family

……

Although Little Ceresa was just Bayonetta when she was a child, not Bayonetta's daughter, hearing that voice made it all worthwhile, even if Bayonetta found out later and came after him.

"Little Seresa is such a good girl. Come on, call me Daddy again."

"Daddy!"

"Hehehehehe... So good!" Shen Ye's face was beaming with joy. Ignoring little Seresa's objections, he kissed her hard on the cheek and said, "After this is all done, Daddy will buy you a lollipop."

At this point, Shen Ye became somewhat melancholy, because he knew that once the matter was over, little Seresa would be sent back five hundred years.

"Hmm, Miss Cat, do you still have any lollipops?" Shen Ye then looked at Bayonetta, who looked helpless.

The black-haired witch pressed the gun to her forehead and said helplessly, "Yes, there is... but... are you really that happy?"

"Because... she calls me Daddy!" Shen Ye said proudly, lifting little Seresa high in the air.

"What's there to be happy about? It's not like I'm calling you 'Dad,' and besides, she's not your biological daughter." Bayonetta curled her lip, looking disdainful, but still took out a lollipop and handed it to little Ceresa.

Actually, it's you who's making noise...

Shen Ye naturally wouldn't say that. He pulled little Seresa back into his arms and said to Bayonetta, "How about we go back to that ice cream shop and buy her some more ice cream?"

Speaking of which, Bayonetta didn't have a good childhood. As a forbidden daughter, she probably never enjoyed fatherly or motherly love. Later, she slept at the bottom of the lake for five hundred years. Now that she has this opportunity, why not let her experience the childhood life she should enjoy?

"Mommy, I want ice cream!" Although little Ceresa came from five hundred years ago, ice cream already existed in Europe in her time. Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up and she shouted loudly.

By this time, Bayonetta had accepted the title of "Mommy," but mainly because she saw how much Shen Ye liked little Ceresa, she had no choice. While secretly thinking that she must have such a cute daughter in the future, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and have some ice cream."

“But you have to be good and not cry all the time, or I’ll throw you away and your daddy won’t be able to save you, understand?” Bayonetta said, pointing at little Ceresa’s nose.

Little Seresa, with a lollipop in her mouth, nodded vigorously: "I know, Mommy, little Seresa will be good."

Then, she turned her head, smiled sweetly at Shen Ye, and imitated the way Shen Ye had kissed her earlier, giving him a hard kiss on the cheek, and giggling, "Thank you, Daddy."

That's how kids are; they'll follow whoever feeds them. From initial resistance to current acceptance, all it takes is a few simple words and a little something extra.

Afterwards, Shen Ye carried little Seresa and Bayonetta side by side as they walked out of the church. Since little Seresa also had black hair and black eyes, the three of them really looked like a family.

However, just as the three were about to leave the church, a loud bang suddenly rang out behind them.

Hearing the noise behind them, Shen Ye and Bayonetta immediately turned around and saw a huge, semi-transparent head smash through the stained glass window of the church.

The angel couldn't resist taking action in a secluded place.

"Mommy!"

Although little Ceresa was a witch, she was too young to see the monsters clearly in the human world. She was only startled by the noise when the stained glass window shattered. However, she remembered her "mother" Bayonetta's words and did not cry. She simply covered her mouth with the Cheshire Cat plush toy in her arms.

"Miss Cat, shall we do it?"

Although he was in the human world, Shen Ye could still barely make out the shape of the angel's head. He turned his head to look at Bayonetta and asked.

“Protect our… ‘daughter’.” Bayonetta emphasized the word “daughter.”

"I understand, be careful." Shen Ye nodded, picked up little Ceresa, and left the church.

Just as he carried little Ceresa out of the church, intense gunfire erupted inside.

Although those in the mortal realm couldn't see what was happening in the purgatory, they could hear the sounds from within. Upon hearing the gunshots, little Seresa's face turned deathly pale, and she cried out in terror, "Daddy, will Mommy be alright?"

"Mommy will be fine, and Daddy is here too." Shen Ye said this, but his gaze was unusually solemn. After leaving the church, he could barely make out the angel's full appearance.

It was an angel whose body consisted of a huge head and two dragon-like heads.

Moreover, this was also the entity that killed a large number of witches in the battle to hunt witches five hundred years ago.

As he was thinking this, a powerful demonic force erupted from the church. Then, right in front of Shen Ye and Little Seresa, several large holes were blasted open in the church, and a large number of stone pillar fragments flew out from the holes.

Although they were called fragments, each piece was comparable to a small car. Faced with the fragments hurtling towards him, Shen Ye immediately entered the professional state of a demon seducer.

Although a normal human wouldn't lose a hair even if hit by a rock weighing several tons, he still had to be cautious for little Ceresa's safety.

The moment he switched professions, the space on his left and right sides suddenly shattered, and two large, pitch-black hands emerged from countless overlapping spaces, swatting away the rubble like flies.

"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

At the same time, a cold voice rang in Shen Ye's ears.

"Hi!" Shen Ye immediately greeted him.

Unfortunately, he received no response; this unspeakable being seemed to have a somewhat aloof personality.
