Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

A short while later, Hei Ta returned to the table with two glasses of juice.

Jing Liu never expected that when Hei Ta was about to reach Qi Zhimu, he would stumble.

"oops!"

Unable to maintain his balance, Black Tower lunged forward.

Two large glasses of orange juice, carried by inertia, coincidentally spilled all over Qi Zhimu's clothes, leaving behind glistening orange pulp after they were soaked.

Has the Black Tower collapsed?

of course not.

Just as her chest was about to hit the floor, Qi Zhimu caught her in time.

In other words, the reason why orange juice was spilled all over Qi Zhimu was because he took the initiative to go to her.

"..." Qi Zhimu's eyes flickered with a strange look.

For any female character in a romance-themed anime, the skill of tripping on flat ground is extremely common.

But the Black Tower is not.

As a hot spring guesthouse, Qingxinju took anti-slip flooring into consideration from the very beginning of its interior design.

In other words, it's very difficult for children to slip.

The fact that the Black Tower slipped means... it was intentional.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu, I didn't mean to spill the juice all over you!"

Qi Zhimu was about to say something, but Black Tower didn't give him the chance.

"Whoever caused the trouble should take responsibility. Come on, come on, Xiao Ta will help you, and wash your clothes too!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Zhimu was grabbed by the wrist by Hei Ta and pulled out of the restaurant.

The combo was incredibly smooth, and throughout the entire process, Qi Zhimu's eyes were somewhat dazed.

…So, this method can also be used to resolve ownership issues.

It wasn't until Qi Zhimu disappeared that Jing Liu realized what had happened from the Black Tower's sudden and reckless behavior.

Upon discovering that his master had been dragged away, the temperature of his entire face visibly rose.

Black Tower!!!

She truly hadn't expected that Black Tower would resort to such underhanded methods, creating a pretext that was neither legitimate nor convincing.

Jingliu had no idea that the Black Tower would fall under normal circumstances.

Even if there's a one in a billion chance she'll fall, are her space and time abilities just for show?

If you just think about it, your subconscious can easily resolve the issue, such as blocking the rim of the glass to prevent the juice from spilling...

To be even more direct, you could freeze the juice in mid-air.

Black Tower, Black Tower! You are truly... too despicable!

Gritting his teeth inwardly?

No.

Jing Liu couldn't control himself at all, and in front of Yu Qingtu and Ruan Mei, he gritted his teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.

Seeing that Jingliu was like an incompetent wife, Yu Qingtu shook her head slightly.

As early as when Heita offered to help Qi Zhimu pour juice, she had guessed his intentions perfectly.

If it were her, she would have a million ways to abduct Qi Zhimu while Hei Ta was in the kitchen.

When it comes to the cutthroat world of intrigue and power struggles, Jingliu is still too naive and too young.

When Ruan Mei saw Jing Liu get the short end of the stick, her emotions were unusually stirred for a moment.

So what if you can openly call Amu your husband? You still get hit by the Black Tower and become impotently furious.

Ruan Mei was unaware that there was a word to describe this feeling in her heart: schadenfreude.

Perhaps it was because she knew that she didn't have the right or the standing to fight for it... She felt relieved that she couldn't eat it anyway, and seeing that others couldn't eat it either.

Ruan Mei did not sympathize with Jing Liu, nor would she sympathize with herself.

She doesn't sympathize with herself because she has a clear understanding of her own mistakes, and she doesn't sympathize with Jingliu because Jingliu is arrogant and flaunts his affections because he takes advantage of Amu remembering her.

Now they're being educated by the Black Tower, and they're suffering.

Yu Qingtu had been observing the two of them out of the corner of her eye and was quite surprised to see the emotions shifting across Ruan Mei's face.

Only when it comes to Qi Zhimu does Ruan Mei act like a normal person with emotions and desires.

The rest of the time he has a sullen face and keeps his distance from people.

In short... whether it's gloating or not, as long as it's humane, it's a good thing.

Humanity is essential for being human, and for members of the Genius Club, possessing humanity is a luxury.

"Ms. Yu Qingtu, may I ask you a question?" Jing Liu's gaze suddenly turned to Yu Qingtu.

"Just ask." Yu Qingtu had a pretty good idea of ​​what Jingliu would ask.

"If you were me, and witnessed the Black Tower's actions, what would you do?"

"hehe……"

Yu Qingtu smiled inexplicably.

As expected.

From her perspective, the issue of mirror flow is somewhat... cute.

The word "assume" is like "if," essentially a fantasy that cannot exist or become reality.

Jingliu asked that question mostly because he wanted to know how things would change if Black Tower's rival was also a genius.

Facing Yu Qingtu's inexplicable smile and gaze, Jing Liu felt somewhat uneasy.

Seeing that she didn't seem to intend to speak, I couldn't help but make assumptions for her.

"Will you chase after them, or... just give up?"

"I won't chase after them," Yu Qingtu said calmly as she picked up a piece of food.

Hmm~ Xiao Mu's cooking skills are so much better than Jing Liu's.

"Even you can't beat the Black Tower..." Jingliu said with a helpless expression.

"Compete?"

Yu Qingtu couldn't help but laugh and put down her chopsticks.

"If I were you, the scene of silently battling the Black Tower would never have happened in the first place."

"...Your heart is far too magnanimous..." Jingliu subconsciously commented, "You're even willing to yield to this...?"

That's the person I love most!

If it's not absolutely necessary, and you have to compromise for the person you love most, it's already incredibly difficult to share with others, let alone be humble or polite.

"Who said we have to be courteous?" Yu Qingtu retorted.

"...So what do you mean by that?"

"Why not just go together?"

"What... Huh?!" For the first time in so many years, Kagami Ryu showed a dumbfounded expression.

Staring blankly at Yu Qingtu, he looked just like a silly goose.

What did she just say?

Together?

With other women, together with their master...

After a moment of stunned silence, Jingliu's emotions could be summed up in two words—shock!

Is that correct?

They weren't like the snow-clad, cold-crow-like sisters who were inseparable in life and death, sharing everything about their master.

Their competitors, their competitors!

Besides, at Yu Qingtu's age, how many Black Towers are equivalent to him?

Yu Qingtu could guess what Jing Liu was thinking even with her eyes closed, so she didn't care much.

This is why we say Kagami is young.

Living a long life doesn't necessarily mean having a good state of mind or understanding, but a good person has certainly lived a long life.

"I understand that you find it absurd; after all, one monk has water to drink, but two monks have no water to drink."

Yu Qingtu's tone remained largely unchanged, his expression nonchalant and languid.

"But that's assuming there's not enough water to go around. If the monks were facing a babbling brook, instead of a spring about to dry up, would they even bother fighting for it?"

"Even if you argue, and argue fiercely, in the end you'll just drink until your stomach bursts."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and I don't expect others to agree with me."

She only spoke a few words when Jingliu asked such a hypothetical question; otherwise, she didn't take it seriously at all and didn't think Jingliu's behavior was childish.

For humans, the most direct way to express love is to jointly explore the ultimate physical pleasure.

Otherwise, why would they be given the ability to enter a state of estrus every day?
