Black Book

Chapter 192: Open, but not fully open
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao immediately remembered the important matter, his face straightened, and he retorted indignantly.

"Sister, brothers and such are not important. What matters is my innocence!"

"What do you want?"

"You have to pay more!"

"........."

"Isn't it the same after all?!"

"no the same!"

"What's the difference?"

"My innocence is more valuable! Ten thousand dollars is not enough!"

"........."

"Twenty thousand yuan, no more!"

"Fifty thousand! You only lost money, but I lost my reputation!!"

"Thirty thousand, forget it!"

"make a deal!"

Listening to the silly conversation between the two people behind him, Li Cang silently rolled his eyes and put all his bags into the kitchen.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao smiled brightly when he received the text message about the arrival of his money from the bank.

"Senior sister, if you need this kind of business in the future, just come to me. I am a professional at making people hate me!"

Seeing the young man patting his chest, giving a thumbs up and grinning foolishly, Ye Wanning kicked him on the leg in annoyance.

"Go cook!"

"okay!"

"Gee~"

At this moment, a little head popped out from between Zhu Haomiao's clothes and looked around curiously.

"Ah~ Diao Chan, long time no see, did you miss your sister~"

Seeing Ye Wanning hugging her big mink and kissing it madly, Zhu Haomiao was hesitant to say anything. He really wanted to tell her that the dead rat had just eaten a cicada raw.

But after hesitating for a moment, the boy swallowed his words and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Some things are happier if you don't know them...

Afterwards, with Li Cang's tacit help, relying on the power of [Gluttony], Zhu Haomiao quickly prepared an extraordinary meal with good color, aroma and taste.

Ye Wanning was eager to eat something, but was hit on the back of her hand by Zhu Haomiao's chopsticks.

"Ow~"

"handwashing!"

With a pout of grievance, Ye Wanning glared at the young man, walked into the bathroom indignantly, and soon came out with wet hands. She picked up the confused Diao Chan and rubbed its snow-white and soft fur frantically.

Diao Chan: “…………”

"Gee~"

"What are you crying about? The master's debt must be repaid! It is only natural! I can't cure the big one, but can't I cure you, the little one?"

"Evil fleece is used to wipe your hands! Hehehe~"

Listening to Ye Wanning's neurotic and childish laughter, and recalling how she was so cold and aloof when facing Xu Shengjie just now, the strong contrast made Zhu Haomiao inexplicably think of a sentence.

The cold goddess you want but cannot get is just a sand sculpture in the eyes of others...

Laughing and shaking his head, Zhu Haomiao worked at full speed to simmer the last dish of sweet and sour spare ribs over high heat.

"time to eat!"

Using delicious food to rescue Diao Chan from the clutches of the "evil witch", Ye Wanning sat at the dining table, facing the dazzling array of delicious dishes, and looked at Zhu Haomiao with admiring eyes.

"Xiao Shui you are awesome!"

"hehe."

The boy smiled without saying a word, distributed the dishes and chopsticks, suppressed his gluttony, and ate slowly and "elegantly".

"Chi chi chi~"

Diao Chan, who was standing by, saw the three of them eating with their mouths full of oil. He scratched Zhu Haomiao's sleeves frantically, licking his mouth over and over with his pink little tongue, and was so anxious that he almost spoke human language.

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao put down his chopsticks, prepared a small bowl for it, and put some food in it.

"Gee~"

Seeing Diao Chan wolfing down the food, the young man had an idea and asked the two of them.

"By the way, this guy seems to be able to learn human speech. Will there be any problem?" Upon hearing this, the two immediately put down their chopsticks and stared at Diao Chan with surprise.

"Can it develop intelligence? Then it might have the blood of a great demon, and its aptitude is extraordinary..."

"Diao Chan, call me sister."

"Chiji~"

"It's not Jiji, it's Sister."

"Gee~"

He had no time to pay attention to Ye Wanning. Diao Chan was busy working and his little mouth was never idle.

Facing the two people's suspicious gazes, Zhu Haomiao grinned helplessly.

"Let's wait until it finishes eating."

Dozens of minutes later, Ye Wanning and Li Cang put down their chopsticks and stared at the boy who continued eating with envy and pain in their eyes.

"Xiao Shui is eating so deliciously...but my stomach is so full and uncomfortable..."

Feeling hungry but also feeling full, Ye Wanning swallowed her saliva and turned her resentful gaze towards Diao Chan who was licking his paws complacently.

He grabbed it, held it in his arms with its four legs facing the sky, and Ye Wanning grinned viciously.

"Tell me! Are you a spy who has infiltrated our army?"

"grumble?"

"Pretending not to understand, huh? Let me teach you how to speak human language!"

"I, my sister!"

"He, Cang Cang."

"He, Shui Shui."

Following Ye Wanning's finger, he looked around in confusion, then Diao Chan blinked his big watery eyes and suddenly understood something. He stared at Zhu Haomiao and howled excitedly.

"Water and water!"

Eyes lighting up, Ye Wanning asked immediately.

"What about me? What am I?"

"Jiji!"

"It's not Jiji, it's Sister!!"

"Gee~"

Seeing the man and his pet talking at cross purposes, Li Cang looked at Zhu Haomiao thoughtfully.

"It is true that his spiritual intelligence has been opened, but it seems that it has not been fully opened."

"........."

"Also, are you sure you want Leaf to teach it to talk?"

"What do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Haomiao heard Ye Wanning pointing at Diao Chan and teaching.

"You, Rat, you're Rat-Rat!"

"Old Xu! Xu Xu!!"

Hearing Diao Chan's excited howl in a baby voice, Zhu Haomiao covered his face in pain and immediately understood Li Cang's worries.

An enlightened child cannot be handed over to a psychopath!

........................

In the next few days, Zhu Haomiao tried several times to take back Diao Chan's "custody rights", but was ruthlessly rejected by Ye Wanning, who was fond of teaching.

When she was pushed into a corner, she even stuffed the dick into her chest and acted like a spoiled brat without caring about her image.

Seeing the big mink stuck in Hongwei's chest, unable to move, Zhu Haomiao could only shed tears of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Soon, after working as a full-time chef in Ye Wanning's villa for a few days, the relaxing reality-repairing "vacation" passed in a flash, and it was time to return to the fantasy world.

After bidding farewell to Ye Wanning and the other person who were reluctant to leave, Zhu Haomiao brought Diao Chan back to the dormitory, pushed open the symbolic door, crossed the chaotic film of reality and illusion, and once again descended into the fantasy world.

On the other side, in the dark and silent underground "mausoleum", the long-sleeping boy opened his eyes slowly, and as his will returned to his body, the huge amount of energy that had been dormant and restrained began to circulate and awaken.

hum~
The dissipated energy spread like water waves, and ripples visible to the naked eye appeared throughout the ground. Until Zhu Haomiao's consciousness became completely clear, he was able to control the wild and violent force.

When everything returned to calm, Zhu Haomiao, who had just woken up from a dream, connected his previous memories and could not wait to turn his gaze to the [Book of Black].
