My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Book Recommendation

Finding Kiana started with a meteor shower.

After being sent flying by a dump truck, Su Yu was reborn with a system into the peaceful daily life of the Golden Courtyard.

Originally, I wanted to explore the abyss again in this world, but I found that I lacked a Valkyrie to bind to and could not activate it, so I had to give up.

But with a head full of Blue Star culture, Su Yu planned to first stage a spectacular plagiarism spree in this world.

His happy life had just begun when he encountered Kiana, who had traveled from the early days of Sky City, one rainy evening.

His familiar ahoge (cowlick) drooped, and his eyes were as dim as burnt-out firewood.

"Is this... Sky City? I want to go back."

"You may not be able to go back."

"why?"

"Because this place is far from Sky City."

How far is it?

"At least 50,000 years."

Finding Kiana started with a meteor shower.

Chapter 16: Marrying Elune!!?

Today is a very important day.

It has been exactly 10 days since Weiss obtained the forbidden item, Wei Xiao.

The containment progress is currently at 94%.

If the jokes told today are funny enough, he can officially contain this dragon-like creature.

So, Weiss pulled out his best joke.

"A year ago, I took the train to another city on a business trip."

"I had just sat down when a man started yelling that I had taken his seat and that his attitude was terrible, so we were in a standoff for a long time."

"Later I checked his ticket and found that he wasn't on this train at all, so I let him go."

"I waited two hours, until the train had already gone quite a distance, before telling him he had the wrong train. Sometimes you have to teach rude people a lesson like that."

"His face turned pale instantly, and he nervously asked the passenger next to him."

"result....."

"I got on the wrong bus."

"..."

"..."

As expected, Weiss barely had to wait before the crescent ring on his finger began to tremble.

This tremor was more intense than any before. The two ends of the arc curved upwards to the point of almost closing together. The curved arc trembled on Weiss's finger, like a smiling face that had finally fully opened, and Weiss's entire finger felt slightly numb.

It's clear that Wei Xiao's sense of humor is quite similar to his own.

Seeing that Wei Xiao's containment progress had reached 100%, yet it showed no sign of stopping, Weiss impatiently added again, "Xiao is giving..."

Wei Xiao's trembling gradually subsided.

At this point, a brand new page of information slowly appeared on the pages of the World Book.

Contraindication No. 1411 – Dangerous Laughter

Containment progress: 100%

Containment conditions have been met.

Wei Xiao has been completely contained, and detailed information has been entered into the World Book Atlas.

Weiss's eyes lit up slightly.

He immediately focused his attention on the World Book, randomly flipping to a page and finding Wei Xiao's illustration page.

Golden characters appeared densely in the void, more than ten times more detailed than the previous rudimentary description.

Contraindicated item number 1411: Dangerous Laughter (already contained)

Containment method: Tell a joke before midnight each day to elicit a pleasurable response from Wei Xiao, accumulating a total containment progress of 100%.

Wei Xiao's laughter can be played aloud for 5 minutes each day. During this time, all living beings who hear the laughter, except for the holder, will fall into a state of maniacal laughter indiscriminately and will feel joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Important: Loud laughter does not distinguish between friend and foe; all living beings within its range will be infected.

Weiss read the description over and over again.

To be honest, this ability doesn't seem to be very useful to me right now.

Playing laughter out loud means that those around him will also be affected, and this indiscriminate nature of laughter makes it even more dangerous.

If you use it in battle, the enemy will laugh, your teammates will laugh, and you'll stand in the middle watching both sides laugh like madmen. You might even find yourself laughing like a fool yourself.

Just imagining this scene is outrageous enough...

That said, this stuff is more eerie when used in horror movies and supernatural novels...

However, to be fair, it is at least a forbidden object that has been completely contained.

Having more cards to play is always better than having none.

While Weiss wasn't overly surprised, he was generally satisfied and not disappointed.

At least in some extreme cases, five minutes of maniacal laughter might be enough to completely control the entire scene.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Mr. Weiss, are you awake?"

It was the voice of the butler, Sebastian.

Weiss, who was sitting with his legs crossed in a chair, lazily turned around and faced the door: "You're awake. Come in."

The door was gently pushed open.

"I apologize for bothering you, Mr. Weiss."

Sebastian bowed slightly, his tone respectful but not humble.

"Miss will be dining with three gentlemen tonight. Dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the main dining room on the first floor."

Weiss was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Adele?

Since joining the Selenes family, he had only met Adele twice.

The first time was in the reception room on the day we first met, and the other time was the afternoon when she brought Elune out.

Apart from that, this young lady was basically never in the mansion. She was either out patrolling the city or handling official duties during night patrols, and had almost no interaction with the daily lives of ordinary people like them.

Not to mention dining together.

This is the first time.

There must be something important to announce, right?

"Okay, I understand." Weiss nodded thoughtfully.

Sebastian bowed slightly again, then quietly withdrew, closing the door behind him.

Weiss leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment.

"I feel like this is about deciding who stays, right?"

7 PM.

When Weiss arrived at the entrance to the main dining room on the first floor on time, two other addicts of the same kind, Oliver and Lorne, had already arrived.

The main dining room was much larger than the small dining room where they usually ate. A dark gray tablecloth covered the long table, and the candlelight cast dancing spots of light on the silver cutlery.

The meal was already laid out, and it was a bit more lavish than usual.

Oliver was clearly well-prepared for today.

He wore a well-tailored dark green tuxedo, and the silver brooch on his collar was polished to a gleaming shine.

Lorne was more formal and tidy than usual, clean and neat, neither outstanding nor impolite.

Only Weiss, still looking impoverished, sat down indifferently.

The three of them had no intention of talking and waited silently at the table. Soon, the restaurant door was pushed open again.

Adele walked in.

Tonight, instead of her signature black military uniform, she wore a dark blue aristocratic gown, and her long golden hair was simply braided and hung down in front of her right shoulder.

Gone is the sharpness of military uniform, replaced by a dignified and graceful demeanor.

Looking at their new look that exudes wifely charm, Weiss sincerely exclaimed that the two sisters' beauty was truly sculpted by a divine hand.

The white cat followed us in, quietly jumped onto the armrest of the chair next to Adele, and lay down.

Upon seeing this, Oliver immediately stood up and, once again, delivered his usual smooth and elegant aristocratic greeting: "Lady Adele!"

Weiss and Lorne also stood up and bowed somewhat awkwardly, saying, "Young Miss."

After Adele sat down, she glanced around at the three people present. She first raised her glass and took a sip, her expression calm, as if she was considering something. Then she asked some trivial questions.

For example, the taste of the food these days, or the service provided by the maids.

Weiss and Lorne didn't even have a chance to answer the questions before Oliver stole the answers, showering them with exaggerated praise, practically declaring the Selenes family the best in the world.

Finally, after a brief exchange of pleasantries and a few pointless formalities, Adele put down her wine glass, sat up straight, and scanned the three of them one by one with a serious expression.

"I suppose the three of you have already guessed the real reason I invited you after observing these past few days."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly jarring in the quiet restaurant.

"I plan to choose one of you three, a drug addict, to be in charge of—"

"Long-term treatment for Elune."

Upon hearing this, the three people reacted differently but were not too surprised. After all, after spending so many days together, even the most oblivious person could guess the intentions of the Selenes family.

However, Adele's words did not end there.

She paused, her gaze slowly sweeping across the three faces, before calmly uttering the second half of her sentence.

"Then......"

"Marry Elune"

In an instant, the air in the entire restaurant seemed to freeze.

The expressions of the three of them were almost all blank.

Weiss felt his heart skip a beat.

Chapter 17: The Final Choice of a Marriage Partner

Inside the restaurant, Adele's earth-shattering words fell.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

All three, including Weiss, wore expressions of disbelief.

"marry!?"

Once he realized what was happening, Oliver's voice suddenly rose by half a tone, and his expression became extremely flustered.

His eyes were wide open like saucers, and his mouth was slightly agape.

He had actually guessed long ago that the purpose of the Selenes family inviting the Wind Addict was to treat the vegetative Elune, something that any person with normal intelligence could basically figure out.

But marriage....
