Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao suddenly rembered the main issue, his expression turning serious as he retorted with righteous indignation.
"Senior sister, it's not about brotherhood or anything, the key is my innocence!"
"What do you want then?"
"I need more money!"
"..."
"Isn't it all the sa in the end?!"
"It's not the sa!"
"How's it not the sa?"
"My innocence is more expensive! Ten thousand isn't enough!"
"..."
"Twenty thousand, not a penny more!"
"Fifty thousand! You're only losing money, but I'm losing my reputation!!"
"Thirty thousand, take it or leave it!"
"Deal!"
Listening to the goofy conversation behind him, Li Cang silently rolled his eyes and carried all the bags into the kitchen.
On the other side, upon checking the bank deposit notification, Zhu Haomiao's face imdiately lit up with joy.
"Senior sister, feel free to find for this kind of business in the future, I'm a pro at generating hatred!"
Seeing the boy pat his chest and give a thumbs up while grinning foolishly, Ye Wan Ning kicked him on the leg with annoyance.
"Go make dinner!"
"Got it!"
"Chirp~"
Just then, a small head popped out from Zhu Haomiao's collar, curiously looking around.
"Oh~ Diao Chan, long ti no see, did you miss your sister~"
Watching Ye Wan Ning shower her big ferret with affection, Zhu Haomiao hesitated, wanting to tell her that this sneaky creature just ate a cicada raw.
But after a mont of hesitation, he swallowed his words and went to the kitchen to prepare a feast.
So things are better left unknown...
Then, with Li Cang skillfully assisting, and relying on the Authority of Gluttony, Zhu Haomiao quickly whipped up an extraordinary al with perfect color, aroma, and taste.
With her mouth watering, Ye Wan Ning sneakily tried to grab a bite, only to have Zhu Haomiao smack her hand with chopsticks.
"Ow~"
"Wash your hands!"
Feeling wronged, Ye Wan Ning pouted, shot a glare at the boy, and angrily walked to the washroom, soon returning with wet hands, grabbing the bewildered Diao Chan and ssing up its soft white fur.
Diao Chan: "..."
"Chirp~"
"What's with the chirp? The pet pays the master's debt! It's only right! If I can't handle the big ones, I can still deal with you!"
"Evil fleece is just right for drying hands! Heh heh heh~"
Listening to Ye Wan Ning's childish sinister laughter, and recalling her cold and distant deanor when facing Xu Shengjie earlier, the stark contrast made Zhu Haomiao inexplicably think of a saying.
Your goddess of cool majesty is sobody else's foolish clown...
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhu Haomiao worked at full speed on the last dish, sweet and sour ribs, simring them with high heat to finish.
"Dinner's ready!"
Using delicacies to rescue Diao Chan from the "evil witch's" grasp, Ye Wan Ning sat at the dining table, faced with a tableful of delectable dishes, gazing at Zhu Haomiao with eyes full of admiration.
"You're amazing, Shui!"
"Hehe."
The boy smiled quietly, distributed the bowls and chopsticks, and, pressing down on Gluttony, slowly and "elegantly" began eating.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
On the side, seeing the three of them eating with relish, Diao Chan frantically clawed at Zhu Haomiao's sleeve, its little pink tongue licking its lips repeatedly, so anxious it almost spoke human words.
Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao stopped his chopsticks and prepared a small bowl for it, putting so food in it.
"Chirp~"
Watching Diao Chan devour hungrily, a thought struck the boy, and he asked the other two.
"By the way, this guy seems like it might learn to speak human, will there be any issues?"
Upon hearing this, the two imdiately put down their chopsticks, staring at Diao Chan with eyes full of surprise.
"Can it gain spiritual wisdom? Then it might have Great Demon bloodline, quite a talent..."
"Diao Chan, say sister."
"Chirp chirp~"
"Not chirp chirp, it's sister."
"Chirp~"
Having no ti for Ye Wan Ning, Diao Chan buried its head in eating, its little mouth constantly busy.
Faced with the skeptical gazes of the two, Zhu Haomiao helplessly grinned.
"Let's talk after it's done eating."
Minutes later, Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang set down their chopsticks, looking at the continuously eating boy with envious and pained eyes.
"Shui, you eat so deliciously... but my stomach is so full, uncomfortable..."
Craving yet stuffed, Ye Wan Ning swallowed her saliva, shifting her resentful gaze to Diao Chan, who was happily licking its paws.
She grabbed it, held it belly-up in her arms, and with a vicious grin, threatened.
"Tell! Are you a spy infiltrated into my ranks!"
"Chirp?"
"Pretending not to understand? Let teach you to speak human!"
", sister!"
"Him, Cangcang."
"Him, Shuishui."
Looking around confusedly following Ye Wan Ning's finger, Diao Chan blinked its big watery eyes, suddenly understanding sothing, and excitedly barked at Zhu Haomiao.
"Shuishui!"
Eyes lighting up, Ye Wan Ning imdiately asked.
"What about ? What am I?"
"Chirp chirp!"
"Not chirp chirp, it's sister!!"
"Chirp~"
Seeing the person and pet speaking past each other, Li Cang thoughtfully looked at Zhu Haomiao.
"It has indeed gained spiritual wisdom, but it seems not fully."
"..."
"Besides, are you sure you want Ye Zi teaching it to speak?"
"What do you an?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Haomiao heard Ye Wan Ning pointing at Diao Chan and teaching.
"You, mouse, you're a mouse mouse!"
"Lao Xu! Xuxu!!"
Hearing Diao Chan's excited squeals, Zhu Haomiao covered his face in despair, imdiately understanding Li Cang's concern.
You can't let a crazy person handle the education of a child!
......
Over the next few days, Zhu Haomiao tried several tis to reclaim "custody" of Diao Chan, but was heartlessly refused by the eager-to-teach Ye Wan Ning.
When pushed, she even stuffed Diao Chan into her chest, shalessly acting like a spoiled brat.
Seeing the big ferret trapped in the grand bosom unable to move, Zhu Haomiao could only shed tears of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Soon, after spending a few days as a full-ti cook at Ye Wan Ning's villa, the relaxed vacation of real-world rest flew by, and it was ti to return to the Illusion Realm.
Saying goodbye to the reluctant Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang, Zhu Haomiao took Diao Chan back to the dorm, pushed open the symbolic Gate, crossed the chaotic film of reality and illusion, and once again arrived in the Illusion Realm.
On another side, in a dark and silent underground "sleeping tomb", a long-slumbering boy slowly opened his eyes, as his consciousness descended back into his body, and the massive reserved energy began to stir and awaken.
Buzz~
The escaping energy rippled like water, spreading throughout the entire underground, creating visible ripples, until Zhu Haomiao's consciousness fully cleared, managing and controlling the wild power.
Once everything returned to peace, as if waking from a dream, Zhu Haomiao reconnected with his previous mories, eagerly directing his attention to the Book of Black.
