Black Book

Chapter 514: Practice more food
"It smells so good, so good~"

Bah, bah, bah~
She hummed while licking her. Zhu Haomiao pulled Diao Chan away in annoyance, and suddenly noticed that she was holding a glowing blue and white cube in her hand.

"Xu Xu picked it up and gave it to Shui Shui~"

Looking at the iconic [Cosmic Cube] and feeling the huge vortex of fate stirred by it, Zhu Haomiao seemed to foresee that the end of the entire universe was sliding into an unspeakable abyss.

"You really dare to bring anything home!"

Pinching his brows in pain, Zhu Haomiao looked at Diao Chan, who was holding the [Cosmic Cube] like he was presenting a treasure, with his big watery eyes full of anticipation. For a moment, he didn't know whether to scold or praise him.

Shushu is just being filial, what's wrong with her?

Zhu Haomiao took the [Cosmic Cube] and the moment it fell into his hands, he realized that the chaotic river of fate had set off even more violent waves, countless world lines appeared and disappeared, and the unclear future gradually turned into chaos.

hum~
Brilliant sparks bloomed before him, and Ancient One, wearing the Eye of Agamotto, walked out of the portal with a solemn expression.

"Something big is happening..."

Before he finished speaking, when he saw the [Cosmic Cube] in Zhu Haomiao's hand, Gu Yi's expression froze instantly.

On the opposite side, the young man in black could only give a polite yet awkward smile.

As if he understood something, Gu Yi glanced at the pet curled up in his arms and blinking cutely, and rubbed his temples in pain.

"I think we should get the river of destiny back on track..."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Zhu Haomiao nodded righteously.

Holding the [Cosmic Cube] in his hand, he clearly realized that this thing was involved in a big cause and effect. Whoever mastered it would be drawn into the vortex of fate and all kinds of troubles would follow one after another.

On the other hand, seeing that Zhu Haomiao was so reasonable and had no greed or obsession at all, Gu Yi nodded with relief. Finally, he looked at the pitiful, helpless, but thief Diao Chan with a word that was hard to describe.

This thing... in a sense, is more terrifying than its owner...

With a tired sigh, Gu Yi looked at the boy in black and said, "I'll leave everything from now on to you."

"Ah."

The brilliant gate of sparks closed and disappeared in front of him. Returning to the silent room, Zhu Haomiao sat upright in a high-back chair, staring at the [Cosmic Cube] in his palm. A distorted black mist appeared in his suppressed pupils, and his five fingers unconsciously exerted force.

Why should I give back what I have?
mine!

It's all mine!

All the Infinity Stones are mine!

The insatiable greed gushed out, and with a click, a clear light suddenly bloomed in Zhu Haomiao's eyes, instantly collapsing and suppressing the out-of-control black fog.

[Black Book]: Restrain [Greed], [Tao Heart] +20
Call ~
Zhu Haomiao slowly exhaled a breath and looked at the transparent cube with spider web cracks on it. His tense muscles gradually relaxed.

Stick to your heart and don’t let greed blind you!

Now...is not the time to take them away...

With a clear mind, Zhu Haomiao stood up and casually drew a gorgeous portal, but before he could take a step, a fierce quarrel broke out on the opposite side.

"No! Zhu saw the future and he hinted that both Uncle Dia and you will die!"

"Now that Uncle Dia is dead and the prophecy has come true, this gold coin is your last guarantee!"

"But your blood poison concentration is over 70% now. You are almost dead!"

"It's okay, Pepper, I'll think of a way. I'm the smartest person in the world..."

"What can you do? Promote me to CEO? You are just making arrangements for my death!"

"........."

Hearing Pepper's crying voice, Zhu Haomiao stopped and wondered whether he should wait until they finished arguing before going out.

However, on the other side, Pepper noticed the sparks from the corner of her eye, her eyes lit up with joy, she took out the necklace from her collar, and walked towards Zhu Haomiao with determination.

"Mr. Zhu, you came just in time..."

Tony Stark behind her hurriedly grabbed her, but she caught him off guard and elbowed him free.

But before she could say anything, Zhu Haomiao raised his hand and interrupted, "I know what you want to say, but unfortunately, Tony has already wasted an opportunity."

Her expression froze, and Pepper showed a humble and pleading look. "But I still have a gold coin."

"Uh... It's not about the gold coins, but your mortal bodies can no longer bear my blood."

Stroking his chin, Zhu Haomiao organized his words and explained slowly.

"My blood is a blessing and a curse. The divinity contained in it is enough to contaminate matter."

"It can give life to dead things, but it can also make living things degenerate and go crazy, turning them into some deformed and ugly freak species..."

"For example, a soft-bodied monster covered with genitals..."

"Or maggots that devour everything crazily..."

"Or maybe it's a fungus that lives on animals..."

After giving the two of them a meaningful look, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and admonished them.

"Believe me, compared to that kind of torture, death is the most merciful relief."

Hearing this, Pepper's eyes dimmed and she murmured unwillingly.

"Is it possible that even you can't do anything about it?"

"Haha, I'm not an omniscient and omnipotent God."

Zhu Haomiao sneered at the two of them and whispered meaningfully.

"Besides, Tony is so smart, maybe he can find a new harmless element to solve the toxicity of palladium?"

However, faced with the black-clad youth's half-smile and half-smile teasing, both of them thought he was speaking sarcastically, and their expressions were complicated and sad.

I have tried the entire periodic table, so where are the new elements?

But Tony, with a strong heart, quickly concealed his sadness and put on an uninhibited smile.

"That's right, there is no problem in this world that I can't solve!"

"I'm Tony Stark!"

"Super hero!"

"iron Man!"

Looking at Tony's confident look, knowing that he was doing this to comfort himself, Pepper forced a smile and acted along with him.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao raised the corners of his mouth in mischievous expression and delivered a soul-destroying blow.

"You can't learn the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique]."

Tony: “…………”

"As long as you learn the first level, even if your blood poison concentration is 99%, you can hold on for more than ten years!"

Tony: “…………”

Tony Stark glared at the black-clad boy fiercely and retorted unhappily.

"If students can't learn, it's the teacher's fault!"

"If you're not good at it, practice more and stop making excuses."

"........."

These words silenced Tony. Zhu Haomiao then remembered the purpose of his visit and threw the [Cosmic Cube] in his hand over.

Tony hurriedly caught the [Cosmic Cube]. After this interruption, he temporarily got rid of his self-pity and looked at the mysterious and dreamy transparent cube curiously.

"what is this?"

"Cosmic Cube, please contact Lu Dan and return it to him."

"Ah? Braised eggs?"

Seeing Tony's confused look, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds, racking his brains but couldn't remember the name of the braised egg.

However, the name of "Maa Fak Man" kept circling in my mind.
