The Black Book

Raising his hand, a hazy snake-shaped shadow condensed in his palm. Zhu Haomiao glanced at the man with a distorted face and sighed.

It's a pity to kill the chicken to get the eggs...

But I need gold coins now, so I can only wrong you...

"No! Don't come over!!!!"

The man with shifty eyebrows and rat eyes screamed when he noticed the cold light in the boy's eyes, curled up in the corner of the cell, howling hysterically.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao raised his hand and swung it, and the sinister snake-shaped shadow turned into a stream of light and sank into the man's chest, instantly arousing a sharp roar that was not like a human voice.

Immediately, Zhu Haomiao's five fingers contracted in a ferocious spiral, as if he had grasped something in the air, and squeezed it hard!

Pop~

In the dark, it seemed that something was crushed. The man who was twitching and twisting a few meters away suddenly froze, and the whole person slowly relaxed, and his dull pupils gradually enlarged and lost focus.

[Black Book]: Devouring Source, [Essence] +0.5

[Lust] +162

[Lust]: LV.0→LV.2 (12/200)

[Essence] +2

[Qi] +1

[Greed Coins] +12

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the man who was gradually losing his breath on the ground, and turned away without any reluctance.

As soon as he reached the door of the prison, Yan Yunsheng came up with a stack of documents.

"Sir, this is the confession obtained through torture. The mastermind behind the attack on you is from the [Transfer Pavilion], and the purpose is to seize your property..."

"The son of your housekeeper was set up by them and owed a gambling debt of 10,000 taels, so they colluded with each other."

Taking the documents from Yan Yunsheng's hand and reading them at a glance, Zhu Haomiao's brows were slightly knotted.

[Transfer Pavilion], the largest and most luxurious casino in the imperial capital!

Li Lin lost most of his property in them before, and owed a lot of debts.

I didn't expect them to have such a huge appetite that they didn't even let go of the last [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion]...

Immediately, thinking of Li Lin's previous character, Zhu Haomiao was relieved again.

It was inevitable that a cowardly and weak three-year-old child would attract hungry wolves who wanted to eat up the whole family with thousands of gold in the downtown area.

The deterrent power of the [Pingyang Marquis] title might have some effect on civilian forces, but it was not enough for the complicated "shareholders" behind [Zhuanyun Pavilion]...

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao had new doubts in his heart.

[Zhuanyun Pavilion] is a huge interest group. From the royal relatives to the lower classes, almost all the powerful figures in the entire imperial capital have shares in it.

This incident could not be the collective will of [Zhuanyun Pavilion]. Otherwise, there would be no need to be so troublesome. There are ten thousand better ways to eat up [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion].

Therefore, I must unravel the mystery and find out the group of people who plotted against me in [Zhuanyun Pavilion] and strike them accurately.

Otherwise, when attacked by external forces, the entire [Transfer Pavilion] will fight against him as a whole!

With his current strength, he is not enough to suppress such a huge monster!

Just as the young man frowned and pondered, Yan Yunsheng on the side couldn't help but persuade him.

"Sir, the forces behind [Transfer Pavilion] are complicated. It must be only one of the factions that led this matter. We'd better investigate secretly and don't alert the enemy."

"Wait until the culprit is found, and then take targeted revenge!"

At this time, his fate has been completely tied to Li Lin. Yan Yunsheng has fewer concerns and helps the young man analyze and plan with his heart.

After all, he is an old official who has been working at the grassroots level for more than ten years. Yan Yunsheng considers it more thoughtfully and comprehensively, and Zhu Haomiao nods repeatedly.

"Okay, you help me follow up on this matter and report any progress at any time."

"Yes!"

Zhu Haomiao patted Yan Yunsheng's shoulder with relief. He raised his foot to leave, and suddenly remembered something and instructed.

"By the way, there is a prisoner on death row in the prison who suddenly had a heart attack and died of shock. You take care of it."

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng trembled all over, but soon calmed down and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle it cleanly and beautifully!"

Understanding the boy's implication, Yan Yunsheng nodded carefully.

"I understand."

"Well, I leave it to you."

Patting Yan Yunsheng's shoulder again, Zhu Haomiao turned and left.

……………………

10 [Greed Gold Coins] fell like golden streamers, blending into Zhu Haomiao's body like bubbles, rippling circles of law ripples.

[Zhou Tian Banyun Fa]: LV.1 (Beginner) → LV.3 (Master)

[Qi] +4

[Shen] +3

[Mind] +3

The virtual memories of the past ten years flooded into his mind like a tide, as if he had really experienced a long and hard practice in an instant and mastered the essence of the technique.

Huh~

Take a slow and long deep breath, Zhu Haomiao tried to run the technique, the surging internal breath surged in the meridians, and with the breath, it continuously devoured the surrounding spiritual energy.

A trace of soothing coolness spread in the flesh and blood, and the originally burning meridians and muscles calmed down little by little.

The pain subsided, and the quiet and comfortable feeling enveloped his body and mind. The boy gradually fell into a state of meditation that seemed to be half asleep, and his breathing became more and more long and ethereal.

The next morning, Zhu Haomiao opened his eyes, stretched his body with a refreshed spirit, and a series of crisp popping sounds came from his joints.

Crack~

Moving his limbs, Zhu Haomiao was surprised to find that after a night of breathing exercises, his injuries had improved significantly.

The most important reason for this is of course that after [Lust] was upgraded to LV.2, the supernatural authority was restored and strengthened!

But there is another factor that cannot be underestimated, that is, the warming and healing effect of [Zhoutian Moving Method]!

This technique seems to have produced a wonderful chemical reaction with the authority of [Lust]...

Just as the young man sighed with emotion, he suddenly found a bigger surprise.

After just one night of digestion, his overall attributes actually increased by 0.5 points!

Even if he is currently in the special state of [Pupation], and then superimposed with [Sleeping], he should not have such an exaggerated digestion efficiency.

After being shocked, Zhu Haomiao involuntarily cast his eyes on [Zhoutian Moving Method].

Maybe... I relied too much on the supernatural power of original sin and ignored the importance of the practice.

From now on, I will use the practice to replace sleep every night...

Zhu Haomiao realized something and began to dress and wash with a faint expectation.

The cold well water splashed on his face, which refreshed him. The boy wiped off the water and accidentally saw the figure in the bronze mirror, and was suddenly shocked.

Why do I feel so much more handsome all of a sudden? !

The next second, Zhu Haomiao realized that this was the passive transformation effect of [Lust] on the soul and flesh!
