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

Despite large-scale protests launched by academic factions, Bingfei's popularity among the general public remained consistently high. It is understood that the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce had attempted to sign a cooperation agreement with Bingfei for the exorbitant price of 20 bottles of Tier 7 potions, but this was rejected after several days of negotiations.

Almost the entire newspaper was dedicated to content related to Bingfei.

There's also a scene involving the Starry Sky Merchant Guild...

It seems that this Ice Consort is indeed extremely popular in the royal city recently.

Do not--

Rather, it's more accurate to say that everyone chosen by Snow White in public will be thrust into the spotlight in an instant.

Apart from Weiss himself.

Weiss still doesn't know what Snow White is thinking.

Why did I inexplicably choose myself?

There was no explanation afterward.

But then again, there's no need to speculate about the Seven Wonders' thought process...

While Weiss and Aunt Bai read the latest newspaper news, the carriage continued to travel through the royal city.

The roads inside the royal city were much wider and smoother than the official roads outside, so the carriages hardly felt any bumps when traveling.

A few hours later.

The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of an extremely luxurious mansion.

The World Book finally popped up a notification again.

Royal City Exploration Progress: 1.7% → 1.9%

It rose another 0.2%.

Although the change was small, a sense of anticipation still welled up in Weiss's heart.

It seems that the Lunette family can be considered a relatively important event, right?

Soon, Sebastian opened the carriage door.

Under the strange gazes of dozens of Lunette family maids, Weiss slowly stepped down from the carriage.

He looked up at the mansion in front of him.

It's more like a castle than a mansion.

The main gate of the mansion is supported by two pure white stone pillars that are as tall as three stories. The lintel is carved with an extremely intricate family crest. The entire complex extends to both sides and seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

This is the Lunette family.

That is, the maternal family of Elune and Adele's mother...

"Excuse me, is there anything you need to discuss with the Lunette family?"

A maid in a white silk uniform stepped forward to inquire, her voice soft and her manners impeccable.

Her gaze lingered on the patterns on the carriage, a hint of uncertainty in her expression.

As a maid of the noble Lunette family, this was the first time she had ever met a family she had never heard of in the royal city.

Weiss struggled with this question for quite some time.

"Uh, recognizing one's ancestors?"

"No, that doesn't seem quite right either..."

After all, Elune is probably the only one here who is related to the Lunette family by blood.

As for himself, strictly speaking, he has absolutely no connection with the Lunette family.

Just as he was struggling to find the right words, Aunt Bai gracefully jumped down from the carriage.

She landed on the ground, the sapphire necklace swaying twice in front of her chest, then she raised her cat-like eyes to look at the maid in front of her.

"We are the Selenes family from the border of the Dark Realm. Please go in and announce our arrival, and say—"

"Huh, a talking cat...?"

"Are you Aunt Bai?"

However, Aunt Bai's words were: 1∨ｑ拾亿∷∝捌仟柒佰彡≯∧壹拾liu伍±§陆仟♀捌〈佰陆拾∷∝叁群√→

Before the words were finished, they were interrupted by a female voice from behind.

Weiss and Aunt Bai turned their heads at the same time.

What came into view was a woman with long purple hair.

But her hair wasn't hair at all; it was flames burning with purple light.

Purple flames spread down from her head, dazzling and swirling like a cascading galaxy. Multicolored light flickered within the flames, enveloping her in a layer of ever-flowing, radiant light.

She wore a purple aristocratic gown with an exquisitely detailed hem, every stitch seemingly woven from starlight, and adorned herself with a variety of priceless, dazzling jewelry.

Even the hilt of the slender longsword hanging at his waist was emitting dazzling starlight.

She stood there, radiating splendor and dazzling brilliance.

And the most eye-catching—

It was her eyes.

Within the iris of each eye, there were two overlapping pupils.

The two pupils overlapped one above the other within the same eyeball, resembling two intersecting purple moons, creating a powerful visual impact.

Double pupils!!!

Although Weiss had read many descriptions of double pupils in novels before his transmigration, this was the first time he had seen it in person.

This eerie and mysterious charm is indeed far more breathtaking than words can describe.

At this moment, the purple-haired woman, Weiss, and Aunt White were looking at each other.

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Aunt Bai, I've often heard my mother mention you..."

"Well then, allow me to introduce myself."

“My name is Cassandra Lunette.”

"I am a transcendent being who has reached the 7th tier of the Killing System through the Peerless Path, and one of the ten active monarchs."

"Everyone calls me the Little Sword Saint..."

Her tone was calm, but her aura was incredibly powerful.

As the purple-haired woman finished speaking, the atmosphere at the doorway became quite silent, and all the maids bowed their heads respectfully.

Aunt Bai had naturally heard of this name.

However, I didn't just hear about it recently.

It was three years ago.

Yes, the woman in front of me is only 17 years old.

Three years ago, he was already one of the ten kings!

At the age of 14, he reached the pinnacle of the extraordinary realm, a feat that his peers could only dream of and never achieve.

He was the youngest of the ten kings in history.

However......

At this moment, looking at this dazzling purple-haired woman.

Weiss's inner thoughts, however, are somewhat difficult to discern.

The manipulators of lard prices have arrived.

Chapter 87: The Mysteries of the Mountains, Reaching the Source!! 9K

—Night patrol of the royal city, headquarters of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild.

Inside the top-floor office, dozens of meters high, acrid smoke swirled constantly, enveloping the entire office in a hazy and oppressive atmosphere.

Outside the window is the bustling street scene of the royal city.

A man wearing a white coat and a black undershirt leaned back in his chair. He had his hair neatly combed back in black, and a cigarette dangled from his lips, with a long ash already accumulated.

The black-haired man remained silent.

Standing before him was a travel-worn Zell, looking terrified and as if he were being punished.

Amidst the swirling smoke, the man remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his tone tinged with coldness:

"You mean, before the Moonlit City branch was destroyed by the Sun Princess, those eleven drops of seventh-tier potion had already been stolen by that man? By a commoner who temporarily held the authority of a local noble...?"

Do you think anyone would believe you if you said that?

Zell's back was already soaked with cold sweat, his body trembling slightly, as he struggled to defend himself:

"Vice President, the Night Patrol Headquarters should have records of him exchanging Storm Potions..."

What's the point of exchange records?

The man abruptly sat up, flicking the entire cigarette onto Zell's clothes, his voice rising sharply, filled with barely suppressed rage:

"Do you have any evidence to prove that those medications weren't his own?"

"What I want is a receipt from that day, a written document! And you're telling me that just because of an invitation sent to a Star Bell member, you were directly threatened by him and gave away eleven drops of seventh-tier potion for nothing!?"

After being brutally beaten, Zell trembled, feeling as if his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.

It should be noted that the records that could have proven the origin of the potion actually existed, but they were burned to ashes by the Sun Princess on the very night of the opening banquet.

As the entire branch was reduced to scorched earth and ruins, all the paper evidence also vanished into thin air.

No, these things are no longer important.

Although the Night Patrol Headquarters has recently relaxed its policies toward the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, the relationship between the two sides has eased somewhat.

But even if the records remain, it's unrealistic to confront the night patrol.

After all, even if Night Patrol is willing to help them advance, the money will definitely not be paid by Night Patrol in the end, and Starry Night Merchant Guild will ultimately have to negotiate with Weiss himself.

However, Zell still did not give up on the last straw.

“Vice President, Xingzhong at the ninth quarter is my witness. He was there that day and saw the whole thing—”

Before he could finish speaking, a newspaper slammed into his face.

Zell paused for a moment, then tremblingly pulled the newspaper off his face and unfolded it.

The newspaper prominently featured the latest intelligence on night patrols.

The Night Patrol headquarters is furious about the underworld riots sparked by the caged bird incident and is now conducting a global manhunt for Star Clock members, issuing an ultimatum to Star Clock Ten Quarters.

Within one month, the Star Clock requires at least one person to be sent to the royal city to give an explanation; otherwise, the full force of astrology will be mobilized without any room for maneuver.

The moment he saw the message, cold sweat trickled down Zell's forehead and down his cheeks.

Astrology...

If the Night Patrol after the snow is the Night Patrol Headquarters' nuclear weapon...

Astrology is just a pure box weapon.

Without the help of a lavish sorcerer, no matter where one hides, they will eventually be exposed.

Clearly, Night Patrol Headquarters intends to use this excuse to shut down Star Clock in one fell swoop.

The Night Patrol Headquarters had long been displeased with Star Bell. This time, they were simply using Star Bell's century-old fantasy as a pretext to launch an attack. Even if Star Bell eventually cleared his name, the fervor of his followers would be greatly reduced because he admitted that he had no connection with the Caged Bird.

dilemma.

At this moment, let Xingzhong Shike be your witness...

It would be tantamount to dragging the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce down with them.
