Black Book

Chapter 260 Are you crying?
Biting his lips tremblingly, the physical pain and the mental grievance came at the same time. Zhao Nuo slowly squatted down with his head in his arms, curled up like a poor little animal.

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

Unable to see the face of the little girl who was crouching with her head in her hands, Zhu Haomiao bent down, twisted his neck at an angle, and tried to see her face through the cover in an awkward posture.

"Are you crying?"

Hearing the question in her ear, the little girl who was covering her head and face trembled all over. The silent and stubborn cricket pupa slowly turned her body and faced away from Zhu Haomiao.

After hesitating for a second, Zhu Haomiao stood on the other side, bent down again, and looked up at her from below in a very awkward posture.

"Are you really crying?"

"I'm not crying!!"

Zhao Nuo let out a ferocious howl, rubbed his face with his arms twice, stood up suddenly, and glared at Zhu Haomiao fiercely with his big red eyes that were shining with water.

However, the big bump on her forehead that swollen like a unicorn was particularly funny. Zhu Haomiao not only did not feel the slightest threat, but couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

When you are weak enough, even being angry will make you look particularly cute.

"Don't laugh!!"

"........."

Zhu Haomiao tried frantically to suppress the corners of his mouth, but his facial muscles seemed to have a mind of their own and twitched uncontrollably.

Noticing the boy's expression of trying hard to hold back laughter, Zhao Nuo broke down again, whimpered in anxiety and anger, and kicked Zhu Haomiao hard on the calf.

"You bullied me! I'm going to go back and tell my father!!"

After kicking, the tearful little girl turned and ran away, and her whimpering of grievance could be faintly heard.

Eunuch Dong, who was not far away, looked at Zhu Haomiao deeply, and then followed him without saying a word.

After watching the little princess go away, Zhu Haomiao walked up to the instructor and found that he was staring into space with lifeless eyes and muttering to himself. He couldn't help but blink in surprise.

"Teacher, this is considered as making up for the previous competition, right?"

"It's over, it's over..."

"What?"

"It's over, it's over..."

Finding that this guy was as unresponsive as a tape recorder, Zhu Haomiao shrugged and continued to move towards his intended target, the Sutra Library.

Along the way, everyone looked at the boy with complicated and strange eyes, as if they were meeting "Li Lin" for the first time today.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Zhu Haomiao strolled leisurely all the way to the [Scripture Library], and found a book on horizontal training that was famous in this world.

Now that his [Physical] attribute growth coefficient is twice that of other attributes, the priority of various skills will inevitably lean towards this aspect.

After finding a secluded and quiet corner, Zhu Haomiao opened the book on martial arts. Suddenly, his brows twitched slightly and he couldn't help but look at his lower abdomen.

When he lifted up his clothes, a small black fist mark emerged hideously, and even his internal organs felt a slight pain.

Even with his double defense at the Great Perfection stage, the white jade light on the little princess's fist pierced through...

If the little Loli's strength wasn't strong enough, coupled with her own [Physique] attribute of 4.3, she might have suffered serious damage.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhao Nuo is practicing some kind of secret royal magic and is naturally powerful.

Gently stroking the scar on his lower abdomen, Zhu Haomiao felt a sense of enlightenment.

The extraordinary power of the second heaven has a positional advantage over the extraordinary power of the first heaven. It is like using the high to defeat the low. Even if one's own realm is stronger, it is still difficult to resist!

Therefore, the most urgent task is to improve the realm of the superior skills and realize the foundation accumulated from the first level bit by bit.

In addition, after beating the little princess to tears, the thread of my fate seemed to have a subtle fluctuation, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad... But considering the drastic increase in my luck, it should be developing in a good direction...

Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully, lowered his head, turned the pages of the book, and carefully read the horizontal training method in front of him.

But not far away, several sneaky and cute figures were secretly observing him.

The sunlight outside the window shines on the boy, giving him a hazy halo and making his already fine facial features look even more beautiful and dreamy.

Staring at the boy's focused profile from afar, the curiosity of several girls who followed him all the way from the martial arts field to the Sutra Library was like the scratching of a kitten.

"I used to dislike him, but now I think he's quite handsome!"

"What happened? Why does he seem so mature and steady all of a sudden?"

"The key is that his strength has also undergone a drastic change. In the past, he could only be bullied, but the strength he showed today, I guess he has already reached the level of a top-grade master, right?"

"If it weren't for the fact that his face was still the same, I would have suspected that he had been replaced by someone else!"

"I heard from my father that men grow up overnight after experiencing certain things. Could this be him?"

"Is this what they call a man who has grown up a lot?"

………………

Listening to the excited and suppressed discussions of several friends, Yin Kejun frowned impatiently.

"We've seen it, let's go."

They were having a great time gossiping, but when they heard her words that dampened the mood, several of her girlfriends immediately became unhappy.

"Kejun, aren't you curious about why Li Lin has changed so much?"

Yin Kejun frowned slightly and shook her head decisively.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Alas... you are just too aloof. Apart from cultivation, you are indifferent to everything else and have no interest at all. If you continue like this, you will never be able to get married!"

Hearing this, Yin Kejun frowned even more tightly.

"If you don't leave, I will leave."

Yin Kejun stood up impatiently and left. Several of her girlfriends looked at each other and followed her reluctantly.

On the other side, without noticing the prying eyes, Zhu Haomiao read through the horizontal training method in his hand at a glance and fell into deep thought with a serious expression.

What happened to the easy completion of the skills? !
I can't even understand it!

Damn Li Cang, you fooled me again!
Zhu Haomiao gnashed his teeth in grief and anger, and could only put the matter aside for the time being and comfort himself secretly.

The high-level skills are quite far away, so you should practice the first, second and third levels first. Maybe when you reach that level, you will naturally be able to understand them.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhu Haomiao put the horizontal training technique back to its original place and left the [Royal Martial Arts Academy] directly.

After leaving the imperial city, the young man walked straight ahead, passed through several markets, and finally arrived at the "work" place in his memory.

【Theft Prevention Department】

Looking at the majestic and ancient plaque, sporadic and fragmented memories flashed through Zhu Haomiao's mind.

After Li Lin's father died for his country, Li Lin inherited the title of [Pingyang Earl] and was further granted an official position as the inspector of [Lechangfang·Anti-Theft Division], a nominal eighth rank.

The "Xu" here is a peculiar custom of "Dazhen", because strength is also divided according to grades, and the title and strength do not match, so you can only add "Xu" in front to indicate that you only enjoy the grade treatment but do not have the corresponding strength.
