The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

"...…"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

The maid was stunned for a full two seconds before she let out a piercing, shrill scream, falling to the ground in fear and trembling violently like a sieve.

"Shut up! Silence!"

Wilson, impeccably dressed in a suit, glared at her impatiently. The swirling black light in his eyes frightened the maid into covering her mouth, sobbing silently.

It was only then that the maid realized the gigantic snake, as thick as a barrel, extended from Zhu Haomiao's back, not just one but eight!

These giant snakes spread and swayed like wings, greedily and hungrily devouring the delicacies on the table, forming a wicked, eerie, terrifying yet slightly sacred picture alongside the young man who was eating with unhurried "elegance".

"Don't be afraid, they won't harm you."

With a gentle glance at the maid, Zhu Haomiao looked at the other shivering attendants, comforting them warmly.

But in that instant of exchanged glances, the maid's pupils turned a pink hue, and her instinctive fear was instantly suppressed, replaced by a frenzy of burning affection.

Realizing that just another glance could make her fall hopelessly in love with him and willing to give everything, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly and turned away coldly.

Level 8 [Lust], quite outrageous...

His miscellaneous thoughts flashed away, and Zhu Haomiao refocused on the food in front of him, continuing to taste it silently.

The eight barrel-thick giant snakes swayed and extended, almost covering the entire dining room, devouring all sorts of delicacies in large gulps, the delicious flavors synchronizing into his own mouth.

In a daze, Zhu Haomiao felt as if he had nine heads eating at once, clearing the table of food in just a few minutes.

"Quick! Bring all the prepared food from the kitchen here!"

Wilson ordered loudly, and several attendants, suppressing their fear, hurriedly rushed out of the dining room to the back kitchen.

A few dozen seconds later, under the hungry gaze of the giant snakes, they nervously placed the food onto the table.

Crunch crunch~

The sturdy bones crunched like cookies in the mouths of the giant snakes. Realizing these creatures did not consider them food, the attendants' fear diminished slightly as they shuttled busily between the kitchen and the dining room like hardworking little bees.

A continuous stream of extraordinary delicacies was delivered to the table like flowing water, only to quickly disappear into the abyssal mouths of the eight great snakes.

In just a few hours, Zhu Haomiao consumed what could have fed a thousand people for almost a month. Just as Wilson was about to head into Pyongyang City again to buy ingredients, the young man put down his chopsticks and gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

"No need, it's barely enough, I'll eat again next time."

Ceasing to eat, the eight barrel-thick giant snakes slowly retracted behind the young man and vanished in an instant.

Seeing the young man leave, the attendants noticed there was nothing behind the chair and vaguely understood something, lowering their heads in awe and fear.

Back in the bedroom, Zhu Haomiao collapsed onto the bed, lost in thought.

At that moment, Diao Chan scampered to the bedside, glancing at his face and then at the wound on his chest and abdomen, feeling restless.

Catching its intentions, Zhu Haomiao grabbed it and reprimanded.

"Licking everything will only harm you!"

"Chirp chirp~"

Diao Chan squirmed and struggled unwillingly in his hand, getting a light pinch from the young man.

"If you don't behave, I'll get angry!"

"Chirp~"

Sensing its owner's determination, Diao Chan submitted quietly, being placed onto his face by Zhu Haomiao.

Inhaling the calming scent exuded by the pet, the young man felt a faint sense of healing, as the agitation and depression from the battle gradually dissipated.

Hu~

Charging up with the ferret, Zhu Haomiao felt reinvigorated, finally having time to tally the gains from this round.

All the levels of the Seven Deadly Sins have been promoted to Level 8, with [Anger] even advancing to Level 9!

The enhancement of the Original Sin alone had brought his accumulated attributes to a remarkably high level!

[God] +55

[Dexterity] +49

[Strength] +69

[Essence] +60

[Qi] +53

[Body] +70

Additionally, the [Gluttony] Authority devoured the Source Quality of the Three Noble Sons, increasing his six-dimensional attributes by 27 points.

This time, his six-dimensional attributes have increased by nearly 90 points on average!

This already exceeds his existing strength by a large margin. If he includes the parts not yet digested, his average accumulated attribute will reach over 100 points!

It's impossible to digest completely, simply impossible!

Under the increasingly strong World Suppression, how long will it take to digest?

Zhu Haomiao looked at the ceiling, blinking aimlessly, feeling nothing but darkness in his future.

Ultimately, I'm the one bearing it all alone, I'm just too blue...

Solemn and aggrieved, Zhu Haomiao shifted his focus and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap~

Like magic, a cascade of enticing shining gold coins fell from the void, completely submerging the young man like a waterfall.

"Chirp!"

Knocked aside by the wave of gold coins, Diao Chan emerged, angrily scratching a [Greed Coin].

On the other hand, Zhu Haomiao enjoyed the pleasure of lying on the gold mountain, sighing contentedly.

Compared to the trifling fare of mortals, the nutrition of a god is indeed more bountiful...

Hoping that the siblings grow strong and healthy...

Sending out blessings in his heart once more, Zhu Haomiao had a thought, and the bed full of gold coins suddenly vanished, startling Diao Chan into a flurry of chirping.

Ignoring the startled pet, the young man squinted, quietly savoring the mysterious and bizarre powers.

Beyond the tangible rewards, the enhancement of the Original Sin Authority was even more significant.

In the first instant, Zhu Haomiao turned his attention to [Sloth]!

Soon, as he understood the new Authority of [Sloth], the young man could not help but raise his eyebrows in delight.

Triple Cocoon!

He could simultaneously break through three cultivation techniques, further doubling the speed of attribute digestion!

After a few seconds of contemplation, glancing at the sword scar writhing and cracking on his chest and abdomen, Zhu Haomiao used his Divine Thought to seal hundreds of [Greed Coins], the seeds of three Basic Force skills, and a vast amount of attributes deep into his spirit and body.

Invisible gray-white threads wrapped around him layer by layer, and when the Triple Cocoon was complete, Zhu Haomiao squeezed his weak, powerless fist, frowning slightly.

Only about Bronze Level strength remains, quite a harsh reduction!

At the same time, overwhelming fatigue flooded his mind, compounded by severe lost reactions, Zhu Haomiao felt dizzy, his eyelids heavy as if filled with lead.

Never mind, the rest of the Original Sin can be studied next time...

Clinging to the last shred of clarity, Zhu Haomiao held Diao Chan in his arms.

"It's time for us to go home."

The next instant, an overwhelming sense of weightlessness engulfed his body and mind, and in the hazy confusion, Zhu Haomiao grasped an invisible door handle and gently pushed outward.

It felt as if he crossed an invisible film, his toes touching solid ground, and the young man looked around, seeing the familiar single dormitory room.
