The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 16, Insulting Me Costs Extra!

Ring~~~

As the conversation lingered, the class bell rang, and Ye Wan Ning packed up her things, heading straight to the back row.

"Class dismissed!"

"Also, Student Zhu Haomiao, come with me for a moment."

While pondering whether the [Dao Heart] and [Book of Black] that Ye Wan Ning mentioned held the same meaning, Zhu Haomiao suddenly heard his name and lifted his head in confusion.

"Huh?"

A few seconds later, he realized what was happening, and his eyebrows began to knot.

Oh no, this woman is indeed after me!

The young man frowned, reluctantly following Ye Wan Ning out of the classroom under the astonished gazes of his classmates.

"Mr. Ye, what's the matter?"

As he got closer, a faint body fragrance entered his nostrils, and the Original Sin within the young man surged instantly, his blood raced, and his body heated up.

This was one of the main reasons Zhu Haomiao was unwilling to get involved with her.

This woman is too dangerous... It's dangerous for both me and her!

Especially those watery peach blossom eyes, which made Zhu Haomiao feel the [Book of Black] stirring every time he met them, ready to issue a sensual warning at any moment.

"I want to ask Student Zhu for a favor~"

The bright and charming peach blossom eyes looked straight into the young man's eyes, and instantly, Zhu Haomiao's mind was struck, making it hard for him to refuse.

Noticing the struggle in his eyes, Ye Wan Ning dropped her classroom authority and stately demeanor, her aura changed drastically, clasping her hands together, pleading softly.

"I beg you ~ Please, please ~"

Her adorable shoulders unconsciously swayed slightly, and the cute and coquettish tone with a hint of nasal sound instantly made one want to willingly do anything for her.

So cute, I want to...

"Hiss~"

The young man awoke instantly, gasped, and made his excuses to leave.

"My [Dao Heart] is unstable, shallow in knowledge, teacher, please ask someone else, farewell!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhu Haomiao's incoherent refusal, Ye Wan Ning was stunned for two seconds, unable to believe there was really a mortal who could refuse her request.

Fortunately, she heard this guy was quite short on money, and she still had an ace up her sleeve.

"10,000 bucks!"

Hiss~

Zhu Haomiao's shoe soles screeched sharply on the tiles, as he froze in place.

"What do you mean?"

Turning around, the young man fixed his gaze on the woman, his serious and solemn look made Ye Wan Ning inexplicably nervous, fearing he might misunderstand her as insulting him with money.

It's said that this guy has a ridiculously high sense of dignity and a twisted personality; I must smooth his fur...

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to ask you to help me with a graduation project."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly.

"What I said earlier about being shallow in knowledge was literal, not modesty."

"I know."

"Hm???"

"No... I mean it's okay, you're the research subject, just lay down."

"....."

Zhu Haomiao slowly squinted his eyes, the cold gleam in his pupils full of oppression as he stepped forward.

"Being researched??"

"10,000 bucks?"

"Lay down?!"

"Are you insulting me?!"

With every question, the young man advanced one step, his intimidating stance made Ye Wan Ning secretly bitter.

Finally, Zhu Haomiao stood before Ye Wan Ning, his eyes clear and fierce, stared fixedly into her eyes.

"Too little, you need to pay more!"

"Huh?"

"To insult me, you need to pay more!"

Ye Wan Ning blinked her big eyes in bewilderment, taking a couple of seconds to sort out her thoughts, slightly furrowing her brows in confusion.

What happened to all that unruliness, twisted personality, arrogance, and pride?

If only I knew money would work, why did I beat around the bush so much?!

"Then how much more?"

"Two, no, three grand!"

Not knowing how much this sucker could endure, Zhu Haomiao looked into her eyes and tentatively raised the price.

"Deal!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Wan Ning agreed without bargaining, and Zhu Haomiao instantly wore a pained expression.

Damn, she's a rich woman!

Didn't ask for enough!

I'm screwed!

.........

An hour later, Zhu Haomiao walked back to school with a blurry expression, his pockets stuffed with three thick stacks of cash.

Three grand!

How many meals would that buy?

With the state subsidies at the school cafeteria, vegetarian dishes cost 1-2 bucks, meat 3-5, and rice 50 cents for unlimited refills...

One times three is three, two times eight is twenty-four... can't finish, simply can't finish!

Looking at what equated to over two years' worth of living allowance, Zhu Haomiao's heart initially swelled with a bit of satisfaction, but then an inexplicable surge of greater desire flooded him.

Not enough!

Far from enough!

Since Ye Wan Ning has so much money, I should exploit her, drain her dry then sell her!

She's so pretty, she must fetch a good price!

If that doesn't work, I could disassemble and sell in parts!

Subconsciously considering the feasibility of selling in parts and the prices of various human organs, Zhu Haomiao suddenly slapped his face.

[Greed] +1

[Dao Heart] -1

Stop deducting, stop deducting, or my [Dao Heart] will be all gone!

As the greed subsided and rationality returned, Zhu Haomiao wiped his face tearlessly and stepped into a nearby supermarket.

A few minutes later, the young man walked out carrying two large bags of snacks and fruits, striding toward the dormitory like a warrior carrying explosives.

Hmph!

You little things, tonight I'll have you assist in my cultivation!

Looking at the snacks in hand, Zhu Haomiao smirked coldly, and midway, he remembered something, taking a detour to the place where he fed the cat yesterday.

"Third Senior Sister~"

"Meow~"

The beautiful tricolor cat emerged from the bushes, affectionately rubbing against the young man's foot.

"Were you scared yesterday?"

Putting down the snacks and fruits, Zhu Haomiao picked up the kitten, stroking its smooth fur.

"Meow~"

The little tricolor pawed at the plastic bags, obviously sniffing the fragrance.

"Tsk tsk, I bought you canned cat food today, but if you eat my can, you have to agree to be spayed~"

Opening a can for the little tricolor, Zhu Haomiao watched as it took small licks, petting it absentmindedly.

"Meow~"

And in the not too distant shrubbery, a few little kittens seemed to smell the canned food, timidly poking their heads out, making anxious mewling sounds.

Soon, a few little ones couldn't resist the temptation of the can, mustering the courage to come out of the trees, sneaking over to Zhu Haomiao, and after a tentative bite, started scrambling for more.

"Meep~ Meep~ Meep~"

Just then, Zhu Haomiao noticed one of the little kittens had a peculiar call, and the mother cat kept nudging it, preventing it from snatching the can with the other kitties.

"What's up with you? Not your biological offspring?"

Amused, the young man flicked the tricolor cat's head, not expecting it to turn around and offer the little kitten to him.
