The Black Book

"Master!"

The old servant who was cleaning the courtyard saw Li Lin and hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

Seeing the old servant's rosy face, Zhu Haomiao nodded gently.

"Uncle Liu, you look good today."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu smiled: "Thanks to the immortal soup given by the young master last night, I don't feel sore in my waist or legs after drinking it. I feel warm all over and even have energy to work!"

"Well, the effect of [Qilin Soup] is gentle and long-lasting. If you move more these days, you can better absorb the medicinal power."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu was even more grateful.

After a few casual greetings, Zhu Haomiao continued to walk out. The servants he met along the way were all radiant and ruddy, and greeted him excitedly and gratefully.

Everyone responded with a smile, and it was not until he walked out of [Pingyang Earl's Mansion] that Zhu Haomiao sighed.

The working people in ancient times were really simple. They were grateful for such a small favor...

That spoonful of [Qilin Soup] was not enough for Diao Chan to take two sips...

A pair of sincere and grateful eyes appeared in his mind, and Zhu Haomiao felt a sense of guilt inexplicably.

Those who could stay in the mansion and share hardships were all old servants with deep feelings...

In the future, I will keep a pot of [Qilin Soup] for them to give them benefits every now and then!

Just after making up his mind, Zhu Haomiao's mind moved and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

[Black Book]: Dao Heart +1

Is this possible? !

Touching his chest, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly, and it took a long time for him to relax.

[Dao Heart] is really amazing. If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will grow into shade.

With a sigh, Zhu Haomiao strode towards the [Royal Martial Academy].

………………

"Li Qing, what delicious food do you have today?"

In the Sutra Library, Zhao Nuo sat on a chair, her two short legs that couldn't reach the ground swaying happily, looking at the boy with expectation.

Now, the happiest and most relaxing time of the day for her is eating with Li Lin.

Without the annoying etiquette officer's nagging, and without having to put on the airs of a princess, she can enjoy the food as she pleases, play with Diao Chan, and complain about some secrets in the palace without scruples, relieving the pressure in her heart.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Li Lin's attention was focused on the secret book most of the time, and he always responded to her words perfunctorily, only occasionally patting her head when he was in the mood, and encouraging her like a child.

It was as if she was not a princess of a country, but a pet puppy wagging its tail to beg for love!

Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo was both indignant and relieved.

She hated Li Lin's arrogance and not taking her seriously at all, and she was afraid that Li Lin would approach her with ulterior motives.

On the other side, without noticing the little girl's complex and contradictory emotions, Zhu Haomiao looked away from the secret book in his hand and smiled.

"There are good things today."

As he said that, the boy took out the tableware and poured her a bowl of meat soup that exuded a bright and spiritual light.

"Ji!"

Following him, Diao Chan jumped up and down as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and was so excited that he seemed to have endless energy.

Zhu Haomiao: "…………"

No nosebleed, but chicken blood, right? !

Ignoring the big rat that was parkouring wildly on him, the boy handed Zhao Nuo a spoon and looked at her expectantly.

"Try it."

Gurgle~

Having been tempted by the delicious meat aroma, Zhao Nuo swallowed his saliva and hurriedly scooped a spoonful of steaming meat soup into his mouth, and was immediately snorted because of the burn.

But even though his face was red from the heat, Zhao Nuo was reluctant to spit it out. After a while, he swallowed it slowly with his lips smacked.

"Woo~"

Holding his little face, Zhao Nuo whimpered like a kitten, twisting his body happily, and pupa like a caterpillar.

On the other side, watching the No. 2 pet curling its legs in delight, Zhu Haomiao felt satisfied with feeding the small animal, and his mouth curled up slightly.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

He couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful of meat soup into his mouth. Only after he finished a bowl did Zhao Nuo lick his mouth and asked in surprise.

"Li Qing, is this [Qilin Soup]?"

"Yeah."

"Why does it glow!"

"Why does it taste completely different from what I ate in the palace!"

"It's also several times more potent. I feel hot all over..."

Listening to the curious baby's question, Zhu Haomiao turned his eyes back to the secret book and sneered nonchalantly.

"Of course I do it differently."

Zhao Nuo: "…………"

Here it comes again!

The arrogance of "I am different from ordinary people" that was revealed inadvertently, the disdain for explanation as a matter of course...

Zhao Nuo couldn't help but pout and stare at the boy indignantly.

The innate special sense made Zhao Nuo know that the boy in front of him was not pretending.

He didn't just look down on himself, he looked down on everyone equally, even the whole world!

Many times, he was sitting in front of him.

But it gave people the feeling that he was in a higher dimension, looking down at the common people with interest and joking.

It's like... observing a group of ants!

Noticing Zhao Nuo's little eyes with complicated emotions, Zhu Haomiao smiled and pursed his lips.

"What's wrong?"

"Humph! Li Qing, you are too arrogant!"

"Ah?"

Touching his cheek, Zhu Haomiao asked himself, he had suppressed [arrogance] to the depths of the ocean of consciousness, why was it still seen?

As if seeing Li Lin's confusion, Zhao Nuo pursed his lips and snorted coldly.

"Others may not be able to see it, but I know clearly that you are arrogant and look down on everyone!"

"Including me! You don't even take me seriously!"

Listening to the little girl's complaints, Zhu Haomiao blinked his eyes, and after a long time, he touched her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I will try to be more restrained in the future and not let you see it."

"…………"

Being choked by this sentence, Zhao Nuo's face turned red. He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he choked out a fierce and fierce dry howl.

"It's like this again! You are always so high and mighty!!"

Jumping off the chair, Zhao Nuo walked out angrily, but was stopped by a sentence before he reached the door.

"There is also [Qilin Soup], don't you want to drink it?"

His steps suddenly froze, and Zhao Nuo stood there with a struggle between heaven and man, and finally turned around with gritted teeth.

"I want to drink!"

"Then call me brother."

"Brother!"

………………

After feeding pet No. 2, Zhu Haomiao came to Lechangfang leisurely. Before he even reached the gate of the Anti-Theft Division, the two constables on duty excitedly saluted with their fists.

"Sir!"

Zhu Haomiao glanced at them strangely. If their attitude towards him before was a mixture of awe and a little admiration.

Now it is almost fanatical worship!

With a move of his eyes, Zhu Haomiao suddenly understood something and smiled and nodded in response.

"Yeah."
