Instead of getting angry, she actually took the matter very seriously and considered it.

“…A maid?” She lowered her head slightly, two charming blushes rising on her fair cheeks. “If…if it’s Gu Chuan-jun…it’s not impossible.”

“And,” she seemed to have made up her mind, raising her head again, her icy blue eyes shining brightly, “I…I’m considering whether I should move next door to you. That way, it will be much more convenient to take care of you or to provide immediate support if you encounter any danger.”

This time, it was Gu Chuan's turn to be stunned.

Looking at the beautiful, icy girl in front of him, who was earnestly planning their "cohabitation" arrangements and whose ears were flushed red, he felt for the first time her undisguised and profound trust and affection.

Yukino realized the inappropriateness of her words, and her blush deepened, but she still didn't look away. She could clearly feel that since meeting Gu Chuan, she was gradually becoming a person she didn't even recognize.

She no longer lived under the shadow of fear of her mother and longing for her sister, as she used to. That fear and longing had now been replaced by the purest form of "respect" as a family member.

Instead, there was an almost blind, unreserved trust in the boy before them.

This change felt unfamiliar to her, yet... she accepted it with relish.

Seeing the pure emotion in the girl's eyes, Gu Chuan's heart softened, and in the end, he could only helplessly and affectionately ruffle her hair.

"Okay, we can talk about moving later. Come sit down and let me check the group chat with you."

He pulled Yukino back to sit on the sofa and then opened the chat interface of the [Cross-Dimensional Film Viewing Club].

The group chat was buzzing with excitement because of his miraculous "cross-border rescue" and the newly launched "world travel" feature.

The newcomer, whose username was D and who had just joined the group chat, made a meaningful remark.

[Nightmare]: Ara ara~ Observer, you're even more interesting than I imagined. Not only are you powerful, but you also use your administrator privileges so domineeringly, it's really making me... increasingly interested.

Kurumi Tokisaki's words were filled with an undisguised, almost provocative, intense interest.

However, her words attracted the attention of another queen.

[Ice Queen]: A newcomer with quite the air of confidence. Nightmare, it seems you're very confident in your abilities. How about... a match with me first?

Esdeath's sudden challenge caused a moment of tension in the group chat. No one expected that this battle-crazed queen would actually be interested in a newcomer.

[Nightmare]: Oh? That's quite an honor. But could you tell me why? Why would the mighty Ice Queen suddenly want to challenge a newcomer like me?

Kurumi Tokisaki maintained her calm and smiling tone, seemingly oblivious to the chilling fighting spirit in Esdeath's words.

【Queen of Ice】: The reason is simple.

Esdeath's reply was like dropping a real nuclear bomb in a calm group chat!

[Ice Queen]: Any woman who wants to get close to Gu Chuan must first pass my test. I am screening women who are qualified to stand by his side.

As soon as the words "倭揪崎硫sX衣k扒>(六)峮" came out, the entire chat group instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a series of question marks, like a geyser, filled the entire screen!

[Gem Magician]: ? ? ?

[Little Cat Thief]: ? ? ? Huh?! What are you talking about?!

[Alicia]: (Eyes wide open) Oh my... that's quite an amazing statement.

[March 7th]: Huh? Huh?! Helping Brother Chuan...choose a woman?!

[Butterfly Dance]: ...

Even the usually composed Shinobu Kocho was at a loss for words.

Inside the activity room, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was watching the group chat with Gu Chuan, had a beautiful, blush-like face, her usually expressionless expression softening because of Esdeath's domineering declaration as the "official wife."

110 The Invitation of Princess Kaguya of Ice

Just as Esdeath's domineering declaration, which could be described as that of the "official wife," caused a huge uproar in the chat group, the "Super Love Club" activity room once again welcomed new visitors.

This time, the knocking was no longer as cautious as Yotsuya Miko's, but rather a polite yet authoritative, superior-like rhythm.

"Please come in." Yukino stood up from the sofa, resuming her icy beauty demeanor.

The door was pushed open, and walking at the front was a stunningly beautiful young woman with long black hair tied back with a red ribbon, exquisitely beautiful features, and an aura as cold as ancient ice. She simply stood there quietly, and a powerful and majestic aura naturally emanated from her, making the temperature in the entire activity room seem to drop several degrees.

Behind "603" was a cute girl with long pink hair, a huge black bow tied around her neck, and a bright, energetic smile—a stark contrast to her.

“Shinomiya…Kaguya?” Gu Chuan looked at the newcomer and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The visitors were none other than Kaguya Shinomiya, the student council president of Shuchiin Academy, and Chika Fujiwara, the student council secretary.

"Gu Chuan, and Yukinoshita... Well, this is the first time I've met Yukinoshita."

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze lingered briefly on Yukino before landing directly on Gu Chuan.

Her voice, like her, was cold yet melodious, devoid of any superfluous emotion.

"I am here today on behalf of the Shuchiin Academy Student Council to formally invite you to join us."

She got straight to the point, without any small talk or pleasantries, as if stating something perfectly natural.

Yukino, sitting to the side, slightly narrowed her pupils.

Yukino had naturally heard of the famous "Ice Princess Kaguya" and the Shuchiin Student Council behind her, which controlled most of the school's resources and whose internal factional struggles were comparable to a palace drama.

However, Gu Chuan was originally the student council's general affairs officer, so Kaguya's mention of joining at this time must be more than just the superficial kind, right?

This is simply a fantasy.

"Oh?"

Gu Chuan looked at her with interest. "Invite me? Miss, I don't want to continue doing student council duties anymore. That kind of childish stuff is really useless."

Everyone assumed that Gu Chuan's words were a polite way of refusing.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya's next answer shocked everyone present except Gu Chuan—including Fujiwara Chika, whom she had brought with her—so much so that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

"President."

Kaguya Shinomiya uttered those two words calmly.

“If you’re willing,” she said, her ruby-like eyes fixed on Gu Chuan, her tone more serious and firm than ever before, “from today onwards, you will be the new president of the Shuchiin Academy Student Council. I can be demoted to vice president.”

"Ehhhhhhhh-?!!"

Fujiwara Chika could no longer maintain her cheerful smile. She let out a scream filled with shock and disbelief, loud enough to lift the roof off the house, "Kaguya-kun! What are you saying?! Gu Chuan is indeed very capable, but as the student council president?! This is too much..."

"That's an exaggeration." Gu Chuan finished her sentence for her, looking at Kaguya with a hint of helplessness. "Was that really necessary?"

"Yes." Kaguya Shinomiya's answer was as resolute as ever. "Your abilities are perfectly suited for that position. Moreover, you won't need to handle any tedious tasks; I'll take care of everything. You just need to sit in that position."

Her words were filled with an undeniable determination.

Looking into the depths of her beautiful red eyes, at the fleeting glimmer of "expectation" and "trust," Gu Chuan finally sighed helplessly.

Jun, Yang Lin Yi Ni Jiu sX 8 "...Okay, I accept."

The moment she received this reply, a faint, almost imperceptible smile, like the first melting of snow, unexpectedly appeared on Kaguya Shinomiya's usually icy and indifferent face.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll send someone to handle the specific onboarding procedures..."

She bowed slightly to Gu Chuan, then turned and left with Fujiwara Chika, who was still in a daze and full of questions.

Before leaving the activity room, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but scratch her head.

She always felt...

The way Kaguya looked at Gu Chuanjun seemed... a little off.

After the two left, the activity room returned to silence.

Yukino Yukinoshita walked to Gu Chuan's side, her icy blue eyes staring directly at him. In an almost interrogative tone, she calmly asked:

What is your relationship with her?

"It's nothing," Gu Chuan met her gaze calmly. "I just saved her once in the past."

"Yeah."

Yukino nodded and didn't ask any further questions. But in her heart, she had already quietly categorized the powerful and ruthless "Ice Princess Kaguya" into the category of "love rivals" who required her to be highly vigilant.

Shuchiin Academy, Student Council President's Office.

"Mission accomplished."

As soon as Kaguya closed the door, she could no longer maintain her cold facade. She strode to her desk and, facing the air, spoke excitedly in a voice as lively as a little girl's.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kaguya-sama, 4.2."

A calm, emotionless female voice rang out from the corner of the office.

Suddenly, a girl with short blonde hair, dressed in the same Shuchi High School uniform, and as delicate as a doll, appeared there silently.

In her hand, she held a tablet computer. On the screen, all publicly available information about Gu Chuan was displayed, as well as... several photos taken from various tricky angles, showing him handling "unconventional events".

"The Shinomiya family's attention to him has been raised to the highest level."

Hayasaka Ai pushed up her non-existent glasses and reported calmly in a businesslike tone.

"I will be fully responsible for subsequent contact and intelligence gathering."

111 The Dominator and the Approaching Doomsday

Shuchiin Academy, the office of the president of the student council.

Hayasaka Ai looked at the tablet in her hand, and for the first time, a hint of seriousness flashed in her usually calm blue eyes.

On the screen is all the publicly available information about "Gu Chuan".

His resume is so perfect that it can be called a model of "genius" - from elementary school to junior high school, he was always the top student in all subjects; during junior high school, he used his business acumen and programming talent far beyond his peers to found an internet company and earned a fortune that most people could not achieve in several lifetimes in just two years. He then decisively withdrew from the industry and invested all his assets in various stable investment projects. Today, his personal assets have reached billions.

However, after acquiring such immense wealth, he chose to live a very low-key life, keeping to himself and avoiding the limelight.

These were not the main points that alerted Hayasaka Ai.

What really caught her attention was the last page of the file, a dossier marked "top secret" about the recent "mysterious deaths of the Sawamura Spencer family".

Gu Chuan's name was prominently listed in the case file.

Hayasaka Ai clearly remembered that it was because of this case that Lady Kaguya ordered her for the first time to use the power of the Shinomiya family to thoroughly investigate this boy named "Gu Chuan".

From that moment on, Hayasaka Ai keenly sensed that the aloof, cold-hearted young lady had probably... fallen completely for this boy.

She reread the case file filled with bizarre and supernatural descriptions, her brow furrowed. Whether it was the male homeowner possessed by a "demon" or the monster ultimately reduced to ashes by the fusion of "evil spirit" and "demon," everything was far beyond the realm of common sense.

Gu Chuan, this seemingly ordinary genius boy, solved all of this perfectly in an incomprehensible way.

"Gu Chuan..."

As Hayasaka Ai murmured the name, for the first time, she felt an unfathomable and intense sense of wariness towards someone her own age.

After school, Gu Chuan did not go straight home.

As usual, he was conducting his routine "patrol" in the neighborhood near his home.

As his spiritual power increased, he was able to "see" more and more things. In his vision, the entire city was filled with "evil spirits" and "demons" of all sizes, formed from human negative emotions and obsessions.

He casually crushed a few low-level evil spirits that tried to approach passersby, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He discovered that recently, the frequency and number of "demons" appearing have been increasing at an abnormal rate.

This is definitely not a good sign.

It foreshadows that the "script" of his world, called "Doomsday," is no longer a distant future, but is slowly approaching an irreversible ending step by step.

"It seems we still need to improve our strength as soon as possible."

Gu Chuan thought to himself. Whether it was to deal with an even more terrifying crisis in the future, or to protect the important people around him, he needed even greater power.

When he got home, he was surprised to find that the apartment door was ajar.

He pushed open the door, and a warm breeze, filled with the aroma of food and the scent of a young girl, wafted towards him.

In the apartment's dining room, Eriri and Aunt Sayuri, wearing aprons, were busily moving between the kitchen and dining area. Several steaming, delicious-looking home-style dishes were already laid out on the table.

"you are back?"

Upon seeing Gu Chuan, Xiao Baihe's face immediately lit up with an incredibly kind and loving smile, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. "Go wash your hands quickly, dinner is ready."

Eriri, her pretty face slightly flushed, brought out the last bowl of soup from the kitchen. Instead of turning her head away haughtily as usual, she took the initiative to step forward and, like a little wife, naturally took the schoolbag from Gu Chuan's hand.

"You've had a tough day." She said, her head bowed, her voice barely audible.

Seeing this heartwarming scene that seemed almost unreal, a warm feeling flowed through Gu Chuan's heart.
