The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

"Hmm, this experiment was a complete success. You should go back and rest well. We'll continue next time when we return from the Illusion Realm."

Ye Wan Ning patted the young man's shoulder and smiled confidently.

If it weren't for the faint pink blush lingering on her face, even Zhu Haomiao wouldn't have guessed she had been that bold just now.

Gulp~

Zhu Haomiao swallowed his saliva, instinctively wanting to refuse, but suddenly, a divine thought occurred to him.

Dao Heart: LV.2 (9/200)

That's right!

My Dao Heart has leveled up!

Such small Lust, how could it not be easily manipulated?!

The key is, I must erase the scene of kissing Li Cang from my mind!!!

My orientation is normal!!

Zhu Haomiao's expression turned serious as he looked earnestly into Ye Wan Ning's eyes.

"Senior Sister, I'm ridiculously strong now. I can definitely continue kissing... oops! No, I mean I can definitely continue with the experiment!"

Faced with the youth's shameless words, Ye Wan Ning squinted her eyes little by little, revealing her cute little tiger fangs. Meanwhile, Li Cang stood to the side, staring at him with a look of both admiration and disdain.

"Oil, I suspect this guy wants to take advantage of you again."

"Remove the suspicion!"

"Senior Sister! How can you tarnish my reputation without grounds? I was acting out of kindness, offering my body for you to kiss... oops... for you to experiment with. What kind of spirit is this? It's the spirit of internationalism! It's a Bodhisattva's heart... ah ow ow ow!!!"

His righteous speech was abruptly cut off, and the pitiful cry startled Diao Chan, whose fur bristled instantly, watching in terror as its master was "devoured" by a higher predator.

"Chirp!!"

But before it could rush forward to stop it, Ye Wan Ning had already let go, leaving a dense cluster of tiny teeth marks on Zhu Haomiao's arm.

"Take your dead rat and get out!!"

With Ye Wan Ning's embarrassed and angry low growl, Zhu Haomiao fled the classroom with Diao Chan in a fluster, running all the way back to the dormitory where he exchanged bewildered stares with his pet.

"She called you a dead rat."

"Chirp!"

"Bite her for me next time!"

"Chirp!"

Whether Diao Chan understood or not, Zhu Haomiao rubbed its little head, looked at the bite marks on his hand, then contemplatively but frustratedly touched his own lips.

Firstly, I have genuine feelings for Teacher Su E...

Secondly, I have genuine feelings for Teacher Su E...

But... Senior Sister is also very cute, and her lips are so soft, so tender, so fragrant, so sweet...

Moreover, I think that Brother Li also has a captivating charm. In women's clothes, he'd lose to no peerless beauty, and with the lights off, he can totally be used...

As his thoughts scattered wildly, it took a few seconds before Zhu Haomiao snapped back to reality and gave himself a hard slap.

Pah!

Didn't I swear to be devoted to Teacher Su E?

It's bad enough with Senior Sister, why am I even thinking of Brother Li?

Scumbag!

Beast!

Animal!

Despising himself internally, Zhu Haomiao suddenly had a change of heart.

But to speak the truth, even being a scumbag is better than the Cat Rush Hero, right?

At least it's with a person!

Only hesitating for 0.1 seconds, Zhu Haomiao promptly cleared his thoughts.

Compared to heavenly titles like 'Hermes', 'Sheep Fancier', and 'Cat Rush Hero'...

So be it, let me be a scumbag!

The thought of giving up crossed his mind, and he immediately felt the world widening, and the next second, a prompt from the Book of Black appeared.

"Resolve firmed, Dao Heart +1"

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

I suspect you're making fun of me, but I have no evidence!

With an indignant heart, Zhu Haomiao returned to his dorm room, lay down on the soft bed, and gazed at the familiar and monotonous ceiling. Once the excitement wore off, he suddenly felt at a loss of what to do.

During the Ascension Competition, there's no need to attend classes, and the next entry to the Illusion Realm would have to wait until tomorrow morning. This period isn't too long nor too short. What to do?

Sleep?

No way!

How could I be so slothful?!

After careful thought and analysis, Zhu Haomiao turned over with vigor, picked up his phone, and started scrolling through short videos.

Indeed... short videos are the ultimate time-killer...

But, why are there so many food videos?

Food doesn't compare to the fragrance of a Bodhisattva?

Having just had a hearty meal, Zhu Haomiao ruthlessly swiped away, only to hear an anxious whimper in his ear.

"Chirp~"

Glancing side-eye at Diao Chan nestled by his face, Zhu Haomiao suspiciously furrowed his brows.

"Do you want to watch food?"

"Chirp~"

"No, we need to watch educational videos. At your age, I was already going to school on my own!"

"Chirp??"

"Wait a minute, let me find some Quantum Mechanics for you to broaden your horizons!"

"Chirp!?"

Soon, a teacher's calm and wise voice sounded from the phone.

"Quantum Mechanics Chapter One, Wave Functions and Schrödinger's Equation, the main topics covered in this chapter include: statistical interpretation of wave functions, Schrödinger's Equation, and the principle of quantum state superposition."

"First, we must understand the wave nature of real particles since radiation and particles both have wave and particle properties. So, how do we understand these two attributes? Classical physics cannot explain..."

Individually, Zhu Haomiao understood each Chinese character's meaning, but combined, it was like reading from the Book of Heaven.

In less than five minutes, both man and pet drifted into a sweet slumber, with the phone beside the pillow still playing the teacher's hypnotic lecture.

When Zhu Haomiao opened his eyes next time, it was already the next morning.

"Hmm hmm hmm~~~"

Slightly tilting his head, seeing Diao Chan who was licking him awake while whimpering, Zhu Haomiao scrunched his mouth disdainfully.

"Hungry again?"

"Chirp!"

"Did you learn yesterday's Quantum Mechanics?"

"Chirp?!!"

"At your age, how can you sleep so much?!"

"Chirp?"

"When I was your age, I had already finished self-studying Quantum... hmm... self-studying ideological and moral education!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!!"

Not listening to what its owner was saying at all, Diao Chan jumped on his face and licked wildly.

"Alright, alright, everything at home has been eaten by you. I haven't had time to buy more."

"Chirp?!"

Seeing Diao Chan's shocked, pitiful, helpless, and hungry look, Zhu Haomiao helplessly scratched his head and climbed out of the warm bed.

"Sigh... I'll go get some for you now!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp~~"

After a simple wash, Zhu Haomiao habitually picked up his phone to take a look, finding that Senior Sister had sent a message last night.

"The application has been submitted. I left your address and phone number. The breeding certificate will be sent directly to you, remember to check for it."

It took him a moment to recall yesterday's discussion, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for a moment, then replied with two words.

"Thank you."

However, just as the message was sent, an automated reply appeared.

"I've entered the Illusion Realm. Please leave a message if you have anything."

Looking at the text on his phone screen, Zhu Haomiao inexplicably felt a trace of loneliness akin to an empty-nester.

Teacher Su E is like this, Senior Sister is like this...

Even I am like this... everyone is so busy...

"Sigh~"

Being busy is good...
