The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 491: You Are Indeed Very Similar to Him!
CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 491: YOU ARE INDEED VERY SIMILAR TO HIM!
Pa~
Grabbing Li Cang’s slender white wrist, Zhu Haomiao shielded her behind him.
"I’ll go."
The dominating attitude left no room for objection, which made Li Cang slightly stunned.
Used to protecting teammates on the front line, this was the first time someone had shielded her from behind.
A strange, subtle emotion surged in her heart. Li Cang naturally pursed her lips, breaking free from Zhu Haomiao’s restraint, and mumbled softly.
"What can a little fledgling like you, who just ascended to the Fourth Layer Heaven, show off?"
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao turned back to her with a helpless smile.
"This is the Chinese Imperial City. Even gods must follow the rules here. Don’t worry, there won’t be a fight. Besides..."
Turning back, staring in the direction of the door, the boy in black murmured with meaningful intent.
"This is a guest who came to see me, so of course, I must ’welcome’ them."
Striding forward, Zhu Haomiao walked to the entrance, opened the door, and was met not with the expected girl but an unfamiliar white boy.
The moment they locked eyes, it seemed like an eternity; both were slightly stunned.
After a long pause, Zhu Haomiao was the first to regain composure, inspecting the newcomer without a word.
The white boy wore an immaculate platinum robe, with golden patterns embroidered on the edges, intertwining into mysterious religious runes, appearing holy and dignified.
At the moment, these golden runes were surging with divine light, the hem of the robe moving without wind, seemingly resonating with Zhu Haomiao’s cloak.
His gaze swept past the other’s platinum robe, Zhu Haomiao finally looked at his face, frowning slightly.
The white boy’s hair was like a golden waterfall, smooth and shiny, glistening with a translucent sheen under sunlight.
His skin was pale as jade, seemingly untouched by the dust of the mundane world, exuding a transcendental purity and elegance.
Pure golden pupils were deep and bright, like two brilliant stars, radiating an aura of holiness and compassion.
These eyes seemed to penetrate all worldly deceit and sin, merely meeting his gaze stirred the original sin deep within Zhu Haomiao’s soul, causing the once calm sea of consciousness to churn with waves of turmoil.
Momentarily dazed, all original sin became animated, indescribable twisted desires roared in his heart, wanting to break free from the control of the [Dao Heart], to unleash primitive instinct and beast nature.
[Lust]!
[Gluttony]!
[Greed]!
[Anger]!
[Jealousy]!
[Pride]!
[Sloth]!
Seven sinister lights flickered in the depths of his pupils, finally suppressed by the solid [Dao Heart], once more subdued into the dark depths of his black pupils.

Zhu Haomiao: "..."
Golden hair, golden eyes, red lips, white teeth, an androgynous beauty, definitely a Blazing Angel...
On the other side, seeing Zhu Haomiao, the golden-haired boy had a momentary lapse in focus, only regaining composure after a while, his gaze sweeping over Zhu Haomiao’s trench coat-like outfit, and chuckled lightly.
"Hello, I am Michael, are you Zhu Haomiao?"
...
Ten minutes later, sitting across the coffee table in the lounge, one black and one white boy silently stared at each other. The bizarre atmosphere left the three people peeking from the door bewildered.
Leaning over the back of the sofa, the three peered out, half-heads exposed, sneakily staring at the pair in the reception room a dozen meters away.
"Something’s off, I sense some bromance between them!"
Ye Wan Ning furrowed her brows, sensing things weren’t that simple.
Beside her, Li Cang rolled her eyes exasperatedly: "Stop reading yaoi novels!"
Diao Chan blinked in confusion, tilting her head questioningly.
"Bromance?"
"Kids, go play somewhere else!"
Pushing Diao Chan’s little head down, Li Cang watched cautiously with narrowed eyes.
"Should I go put on the Holy Clothes..."
Hearing this, Ye Wan Ning raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Isn’t that over the top?"
"Not at all, didn’t you sense how dangerous that kid seems?"
"Even though his Heavenly Position is below ours, I feel a chill as if facing a higher existence."
Hesitating for a moment, Ye Wan Ning shook her head.
"You see him as a hypothetical enemy, of course you’ll sense danger, but I think things aren’t that bad, I don’t sense a tense atmosphere between them, rather... hmm... it’s strange..."
Hesitating for a long time, Ye Wan Ning couldn’t find the right word, pursing her lips in frustration.
"That’s why I said there’s bromance between them!"
"Ugh... not quite right either..."
"Love-hate relationship?"
"Still seems a bit off..."
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao calmly watched Michael, keenly aware of the complex emotions in the other’s eyes.
Nostalgia, hostility, apprehension, regret, relief...
Finally, the handsome golden-haired youth sighed lightly: "You do have some shadows of Him..."
Zhu Haomiao: "..."
After a melancholic sigh, Michael slowly stood, his eyes gradually collecting the complex emotions, pure golden eyes turning cold and distant.
"But you are not Him."
"If we meet in the supreme heaven in the future, I will surely send you back to hell!"
Hearing the warlike undertone in the other’s whisper, Zhu Haomiao quirked his mouth with a quirky expression.
"Bring Gabriel too, otherwise I won’t be full."
Hearing this, Michael was momentarily surprised, then displayed an incredibly bright, sunlit smile, murmuring to himself.
"That’s exactly it, you really are like Him!"
"Truly pleases me..."
Finishing, he elegantly bowed, then turned to leave.
Passing by the living room, Michael nodded politely and smiled at the three Ladies sitting upright, taking his leave.
"Sorry for the intrusion."
Blinking, unsure of how to respond, Ye Wan Ning and her companion could only extend a polite smile as they watched him gracefully depart.
Only Diao Chan followed Michael’s back with her big dark eyes swiveling around.
Bang~
As soon as the door closed, Ye Wan Ning leapt over the sofa, heading straight to the reception room.
"Who was that guy?"
Lost in thought, Zhu Haomiao looked up and smiled.
"Michael."
"Hiss~"
Following closely, Li Cang drew in a sharp breath, instinctively widening her eyes.
"Heavenly Deputy! Light Lord?!"
I was actually planning to fight such a Blazing Angel, the pinnacle of the Supreme Heaven?!
Meanwhile, Ye Wan Ning also sighed in relief, patting her chest, thankful she hadn’t marked him as a hypothetical enemy, otherwise, with her spiritual sense, merely the thought could trigger the other’s divinity, leading to a passive response.
In the Eastern sense, it would mean getting entangled in great cause and effect!
Immediately, the two came to their senses again, their gaze at Zhu Haomiao becoming especially complex.
Earlier, they thought they had already regarded him highly enough, but time and time again, facts proved that this guy’s depth was unfathomable.
"Damn it! How many more secrets are you hiding from us? Spill it!"
