Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Noticing Jing Liu's gaze, Hei Ta picked up a pickled radish, an appetizer, and put it in his mouth. Then he leaned towards Qi Zhimu, gesturing for him to bite the other end.

In front of so many people, he showed no sign of restraint whatsoever.

Qi Zhimu didn't take it seriously and opened his mouth to bite, but Hei Ta took the opportunity to kiss his lips.

After finishing, Black Tower glanced sideways at Mirror Flow, a provocative smile playing on his lips... the meaning of which was self-evident.

Jingliu wanted to pretend he hadn't seen it, or like Han Ya, he could just accept it as it was and treat it with a calm attitude.

But the instinct to lean towards yandere, cultivated over a thousand years, cannot be suppressed simply by thinking about it.

Almost instantly, the other four members of the Five Heroes of the Clouds felt an aura of irritability emanating from Jing Liu.

Ren doesn't care about Qi Zhimu and Jing Liu's relationship.

Danheng didn't care either.

Jingyuan was concerned, but he had no right to interfere, nor did he want to.

Only Bailu stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

A bewildered and shocked gaze kept shifting between Qi Zhimu, Hei Ta, and Jing Liu.

Driven by a combination of gossip and curiosity, she wanted to find out the truth immediately.

In all these years as a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, I've witnessed love triangles, love quadrangles, love pentagons, and even large-scale incestuous relationships, and so on and so forth...

But no one has ever witnessed the love triangle between Qi Zhimu and his apprentice.

When Yan Cui cooked two dishes and served them, she noticed that there were a few more customers in the restaurant.

The judge who had interrogated her was still there, and he sat down at a table with the first guests to arrive.

The other table almost scared her to death.

Shence General, Chiming Longzun, and... isn't that the former Sword Master Wuxia Feiguang, the general's master?

Yan Cui's primary thought was: her morbid curiosity about eating the reproductive organs of a beast ship without reporting it... should not be a crime that would alarm so many important figures.

But she quickly regained her composure, darted to the shop door, and hung up the "Closed" sign.

Back inside the store, the atmosphere felt a bit strange, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why.

Completely bewildered, Yan Cui had no choice but to suppress her chaotic thoughts and focus on doing her job well.

"Darling, ah~~" Hei Ta picked up some beef offal and lovingly fed it to Qi Zhimu.

The saying "showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup" is less than nonsense in Black Tower's eyes.

Are you kidding me? Showing off your love here, who can make her die quickly?

She had her reasons. She needed to treat the yandere's condition, and what could be better than causing her trouble in a natural setting?

Of course, "adding to the trouble" is a more euphemistic way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, she was just bragging to his face, but in reality, she and Qi Zhimu were mutually attracted to each other.

How can something that involves going in both directions be considered amazing?

After feeding Qi Zhimu, Hei Ta noticed out of the corner of his eye that Jing Liu was still glancing over here, so he stuck out his tongue and licked the area where Qi Zhimu had been holding the chopsticks.

Then he picked up some offal, but this time he ate it himself.

Mirror Flow: "..."

Shameless and immoral!

If eyes could breathe fire, Black Tower would probably be roasted alive by now.

Seeing the emotions hidden in Jingliu's eyes, Heita laughed even more, silently retorting.

Don't yell. If it were you, you'd probably want to swallow the chopsticks that Zhi Mu had touched.

Jingliu's eyes twitched, and his body stiffened.

That's even more infuriating.

Because there's no way to argue back.

More importantly—she had actually done something similar before…

More than once, after dinner, before taking the dishes back to the kitchen to put them in the dishwasher, I would first clean the tableware that my chef had used...

As for where the water for cleaning comes from, don't ask.

While Jingliu and the Black Tower were locked in a silent battle, Bailu secretly sent a message to Jingyuan Yuzhao.

[Bright Online: Hey, Jingyuan, what's going on with your master, grandmaster... and that beautiful woman with flaxen hair, Lady Black Tower?]

Jing Yuan glanced at the message without showing any emotion, his eye twitching slightly.

…If you gossip about him in front of your master and grandmaster and get caught, who knows what kind of trouble you'll suffer.

[Real-name internet access: ...what you see is what you get.]

[By using the internet: I'm asking about the relationship between your grandmaster and Lady Black Tower.]

[Online with my real name: I privately call Ms. Black Tower "Grandmaster," and she's very happy about it; Grandmaster didn't object...]

[Wisdom Online: Oh my god!! What about Jingliu? We all know she only likes your grandmaster...]

[Real-name internet access: Take my advice, you saw nothing and heard nothing.]

[Bright Internet Access: ...Hey, you little brother, you actually came up with this, are you bullying me because I'm not 20 yet in this life? Hey, just tell me!]

[Real-name online comment: No. You have a good relationship with my master, go ask her yourself, but don't blame me for not warning you, don't ask questions that will provoke her.]

In fact... Jingyuan's head is also a bit swollen right now.

It felt like a kitten had bitten a ball of yarn and crawled into my brain, running around everywhere. My brain was not only trembling, but also in complete chaos.

He couldn't figure out whether it was more appropriate for Guan Jingliu to continue calling her "Master" or "Grandmaster" in private...

How about we stick with Master?

Otherwise, what if there is more than one grandma present?

The sensitive issue of who is older or younger can have serious consequences if handled improperly...

The simplest solution, of course, is to ask Qi Zhimu directly.

The grandmaster said who was older and who was younger, who was first and who was second. As a grand-disciple, one only needed to address them according to his instructions.

It's a pity there was no endorsement.

The general's experience and wisdom taught him that most of the time, it was best to see nothing and hear nothing.

Until they reach a consensus and voluntarily request to change their address, they will all continue to call him "Master".

By not doing anything extra and maintaining the status quo, you can reduce the chances of making mistakes.

[By Wisdom Online: I'd long heard that Ms. Black Tower was known for her straightforward and unpretentious style, and now it seems that her reputation is well-deserved.]

The atmosphere on Xianzhou Island is considered open, but that's only true for ordinary people.

I thought that Black Tower was a genius, and that every prominent figure in the entire universe would know her.

Logically speaking, one should be more restrained in public settings when it comes to intimate private relationships.

Who would have thought... that he was so indifferent to worldly opinions.
