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

Nefertie couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

However, the current head of the Wilderness family seemed not to have heard anything. She simply stared silently at Grace, waiting for her formal reply.

Grace tilted her head and thought for a while.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

"Grandma, is there a family called Serenenis around the royal city?"

The old patriarch shook his head without hesitation: "No."

"It definitely exists, you can check it later~"

Grace shook her head playfully, her jellyfish braids swaying gently.

The old patriarch remained silent for two seconds, then sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I'll check it out in a bit..."

"Hurry up, Old Deng!!"

The blue parrot on my shoulder urged me on, its flapping wings swaggering arrogantly, its tone extremely cocky.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely eerie.

The members of the Wilder Hess family around them looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.

However, while everyone else looked on in astonishment, Nefertir slowly raised her head in disbelief, her gaze fixed on the jellyfish-headed girl.

The Selenes family?

Judging from this, does this young lady from the main family want to form a marriage alliance with the Selenes family?

But......

The Serenis family only has two young ladies, Adele and Elune.

Not to mention that Elune is already married to Whis!

"and many more--"

Suddenly I realized something.

Nefertory's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What she was talking about, could it be...?"

"Weiss, right???"

Upon closer examination, Weiss is indeed the only male member of the Selenes family.

Otherwise, it couldn't possibly be Sebastian, could it?

no......

My dear lady, this is a huge misunderstanding!!

........

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Lunette family...

Emily kept her word; when the three days were up, she packed her bags and went back to her dorm at the academy.

So, Vess naturally moved back to Elune's room once again.

At night, moonlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Weiss lay on the bed, his arms behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Elune, standing beside him, remained in a vegetative state, unable to do anything.

On the windowsill, Aunt Bai, who had been curled up, suddenly sat up and her cat tail swayed gently a few times.

"Weis"

"Ok?"

"You're going to participate in the Snow Palace Trials too, right?"

Weiss glanced at the white cat, waiting for her to continue.

Aunt Bai sighed with a hint of regret, "I've seen that new report these past few days. The reward for first place is a world of difference compared to the other places."

"It's a pity about Weiss. If he had participated in the trial after advancing to the 7th rank, I don't think even the Ice Queen would have been a match for you, who possesses all the arcane secrets..."

"However, if you're stuck at level 8, it's hard to say..."

"Although you can easily defeat a 7th-tier Winged Warrior, Ice Queen is Snow White's latest dyed familiar, and she's highly likely to be able to unleash some of the mysterious and unpredictable power of miracles. For you, who are currently only at the 8th-tier level, that level of power is still somewhat unsolvable..."

"so--"

"No need to be discouraged, let's just aim for the top five!"

"Don't underestimate the fifth-place reward. Once you make a name for yourself, securing training and sponsorship from various organizations will be a breeze. Based on your performance in the trial, you'll definitely attract a lot of offers!"

And this also means—

By then, there will definitely be a chance to gather seventy or eighty drops of Storm Potion!

Hearing Aunt Bai's earnest words of comfort, Weiss's expression gradually became somewhat meaningful.

Well, to be honest.

I am the one whose newest color is white snow.

but......

Since Aunt Bai has already expressed her opinion so confidently, Weiss doesn't intend to explain anything further.

He had originally planned to take advantage of his free time tonight to have a detailed chat with Aunt Bai about the advancement of skull crushers.

However, he has now given up on that idea.

That's right, Weiss suddenly had a burst of mischievousness...

He wants even Aunt Bai to be worth 18700 million.

Keep it a secret—

One last big one!

It scared Aunt Bai so much that she had a heart attack.

Anyway, Aunt Bai is just a hapless person, so letting her know her current situation won't change anything.

Furthermore, Weiss had already made up his mind to confront Ice Queen in the Snow Palace Trials no matter what.

It's not just for the astronomical first-place reward, but also to accelerate the exploration of the World Book!

"Okay, Aunt Bai, I understand. As for the top five, I'll do my best~~~" After pretending to ponder for a moment, Weiss nodded casually.

"That's good. Get some rest, goodnight..."

Without a shred of doubt, Aunt Bai transformed back into a fluffy ball and curled up.

Weiss also rolled over.

He stared into the darkness in silence.

.....

Time flies, and another week has passed.

The Starry Sky Merchant Guild finally notified the Lunette family to pick up the goods.

Just as Weiss was about to leave, the little swordswoman Cassandra was sunbathing in the hammock in the courtyard, her plump, black-stockinged thighs draped lazily over the edge of the hammock, swaying gently.

Seeing Weiss walk by, she casually asked, "Want me to come with you?"

"No need, it's just picking up a package."

Weiss shook his head.

He didn't want the amusement park to be exposed to the little sword saint.

Cassandra didn't press the matter, but simply squinted lazily, watching Weiss's figure gradually disappear.

After walking out, Weiss did not use the Lunette family's carriage.

He took a detour to Sebastian's place beforehand and asked the leisurely old steward to prepare several empty carriages for him, then stuffed them with all sorts of boxes and sacks.

From a distance, it does look like it's loaded with goods.

Afterwards, they hired several drivers and led the wagons loaded with goods to a large warehouse area under the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

—At the warehouse entrance.

Zell stood there alone.

There were no guards, no attendants, and they didn't even bring the cargo boxes containing the medicine.

He waited there empty-handed and expressionless.

After gesturing for the drivers to leave, Weiss strolled over to Zell and looked him up and down with interest.

Is this a case of "double-crossing"?

Upon hearing this, Zell immediately rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Having fallen to this point, he was too lazy to argue with Weiss's pointless teasing and simply pulled out two test tube-sized bottle-shaped containers from his pocket.

One bottle is silver, reflecting a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

The other bottle was pitch black and dull, as if it were filled with solidified ink.

“38 drops of medicine, who would dare put it in a big box? What if it gets broken?” Zell explained calmly.

"This is a portable bottle for more than 10 drops. You can simply squeeze out the amount of drops you want to drink; one squeeze equals one drop. The bottle's outer shell is extremely sturdy; ordinary drops or chopping cannot damage it."

"Oh?"

Weiss let out a soft exclamation of curiosity and took the two small bottles from Zell's hand.

Sure enough, one could feel an extremely abundant and extraordinary fluctuation within it.

The silver one is undoubtedly the 20 drops of Storm Potion.

The black, lightless item should be the Tier 7 advancement potion for the Skull Crusher...

Weiss weighed it in his hand with satisfaction, and even the way he looked at Zell became much kinder.

Although the Starry Sky Merchant Guild was indeed severely punished at the beginning due to the joint responsibility of the Ninth Invitation, since Star Bell later offered the Bird in the Cage as an apology, and Zell's trip was of great help, taking huge risks to gather these potions.

Weiss was certainly not a petty person.

Let bygones be bygones.

Aren't you going to take a look at the goods?

Weiss pointed to the empty carriages behind him.

Zell shook his head, not doubting it at all.

If Weiss were to covet even the 18 bottles of Tier 7 potions he had bought with his own money, then he would be essentially robbing the Starry Sky Merchant Guild of a total of 49 bottles of Tier 7 potions.

11 + 18 + 2049

By then, let alone the young swordsman of the Lunette family, even a 3-star Night Patrol officer wouldn't be able to protect him.

The Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce will fight to the death.

Seeing Zell's complete trust in him, Weiss's expression became somewhat subtle.

Well—

I feel a little embarrassed.

After all, those carriages were really empty...

Wei Xiao: Haha ...

Weiss: What are you laughing at?

Anyway, I can fill them with goods with just a thought.

So strictly speaking, it doesn't count as fraud.

however--
