Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Sai Fei'er proudly crossed her arms: "I'm so well-informed, I knew you were coming the moment you arrived. If I hadn't come, it would have been because I was preparing a gift for you. While you were sleeping, we did a lot of inquiries about you."

"That genius named Black Tower from the Genius Club isn't that unknown. I'm not exactly unaware of her. This stuff was prepared to her taste. I'm not mistaken, am I?"

"It's okay if you forgot, but don't disappoint her."

Jiang Jiu chuckled.

"Then what is this book?"

"I don't know, Xia Die left it at my house. It looked quite interesting, so I'm giving it to you~"

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything more.

He looked down at the two things in his hands.

The box of chocolates was beautifully packaged, a deep purple box tied with a silver-gray ribbon. It had no unnecessary decorations; it was simple, but very pretty.

The packaging style follows the aesthetic of Black Tower.

Sai Fei'er really did put in a lot of effort to find out.

And that book...

He opened the cover; on the title page was only one line of handwritten text:

"To a future reader: if you happen to read this sentence, it means this book has finally found its rightful owner."

No signature.

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow and casually flipped through a few pages.

Aha, Nanuk, Akivili...

"...?"

He slammed the book shut, then silently opened it again. After confirming he hadn't misread it, he looked at the cover with some shock.

"...Could it be that I got food poisoning from eating boiled black-backed bass? What is this thing? The love and hate of the Star God???"

After seeing clearly what it was in his hand, Jiang Jiu was no longer in a hurry to leave.

He looked down at the book in his hand, then looked up at Sai Feier, his expression complex and hard to describe.

"...What's wrong?" Sai Fei'er felt a little uneasy under his gaze and pressed her cat ears back. "Is there something wrong with that book?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

He turned to the title page again and checked the line of text once more.

"To a future reader: if you happen to read this sentence, it means this book has finally found its rightful owner."

no problem.

Then he turned to the table of contents.

Chapter 1: Encounter - A Fleeting Glimpse Amidst the Stars

Chapter Two: An Invitation to Pleasure

Chapter Three: The Gentle Destruction

Chapter Four: A Love Triangle - Unspoken Truths

Chapter Five: The Wedding - Vows Witnessed by Stars

Chapter Six: A Life for a Life - Akivilli's Return

Chapter Seven: Choice - Becoming a Demon for Love

Chapter Eight: The Final Chapter - The Fall of the Star God, A Lament for Love and Death

Jiang Jiu: "............"

Jiang Jiu ignored Sai Feier who was leaning closer and silently turned to Chapter 4 of the book.

Nanuk stood at the edge of the starry sea, looking at that unrestrained and flamboyant figure in the distance.

Ah is laughing, laughing as if all the joy of the universe has gathered in his (or her) eyes. He (or she) is always like this, carefree, playing with life, never taking anything seriously.

Kananuk knew that she could be serious too.

—For example, when that person is mentioned.

“Akivili,” Ahab once said, his tone light as if he were talking about something trivial, “was a very interesting man, but sadly, he left us too soon.”

Nanuk did not speak.

He saw the fleeting, barely concealed emotion in Aha's eyes.

That was an emotion he had never experienced before.

At that moment, the God of Destruction suddenly understood something.

Ahha loved him.

But it wasn't the kind of love he imagined.

She loved the reflection of another person in his eyes.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

He slammed the book shut.

It feels like something weird has gotten into my head...

After much hesitation, he silently turned to Chapter Seven.

"Aha's sword pierced Nanuk's chest."

The God of Destruction looked down at the wound on his chest, then looked up at the person in front of him.

"Did you ever love me?" he asked.

Aha did not answer.

He/She simply turned their face away, refusing to look at him/her.

Nanook suddenly laughed, a bitter laugh, a desperate laugh, a laugh as if the destruction of the entire universe was burning in his eyes.

"......I see."

His figure began to dissipate, turning into stardust filling the sky.

"If there is an afterlife..." his voice trailed off, "I hope... I can be him."

Aha still didn't turn back.

But his (or her) shoulders were trembling slightly.

On the other side of the starry sky, Akivili opened his eyes.

What an explosive plot! Is this something he should be watching?

Jiang Jiu silently put the book away.

—He should go to Yiting and cause trouble for Yi Zhe.

......

(Never mind! It's all Ahagan's fault!!)

Chapter 175 Simply Venting Anger

Jiang Jiu silently put the book away.

He expressionlessly stuffed the book into his pocket, placing it next to the carefully wrapped box of chocolates. Chocolates and a melodramatic novel about a celestial being; on the left was love, on the right... He didn't know how to define this thing.

"Aren't you going to watch anymore?" Sai Fei'er leaned closer, her eyes full of curiosity. "Weren't you flipping through it with great enthusiasm just now?"

"I'm not reading anymore." There was a faint sense of death in Jiang Jiu's voice. "I feel that if I continue reading, it might affect my relationship with my boss at work."

"Your boss?" Saifeier paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh~ Nanuk."

She paused, then gave a curious smile.

"So what do you think Nanook's reaction would be if he knew about this book?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

He thought about the question carefully.

Then his expression became a little subtle.

"I feel like I might lose a powerful backer."

Jiang Jiu would not allow this to happen, so he felt he needed to find a safe place to destroy the evidence.

After leaving Onfaros, Jiang Jiu pondered whether to return to the Clock Tower first or go to the Memory Court first.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to Yiting to find someone first.

Halfway there, a mask suddenly flew off his body.

Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pressed down on the book in his hand.

The voice of Ahha had already come close before Ahha even arrived.

"Aha, I found something really interesting you got~ Hehe, show it to Aha!"

He knew it!

Ah, that guy was actually spying the whole time!!!

Jiang Jiu gripped the book tightly with a forced smile: "Lezi God, you have so many believers, each of whom is eager to see you. Isn't it pointless for you to chase after me every day?"

Before he could finish speaking, the mask had already floated in front of him.

The patterns on the mask twisted, and Aha's face appeared next to Jiang Jiu.

"Believers? Believers are nowhere near as fun as you~" Aha's voice boomed from all directions, carrying that kind of chilling pleasure, "And Aha has noticed that your life has become particularly interesting lately! Dating~ Sleeping all day~ And now you even have... novels to read!"

The excitement in the last three words sent a chill down Jiang Jiu's spine.

He subconsciously hid the book behind his back.

The mask came even closer.
