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

That was close, he almost turned into a bouncing bomb...

Fortunately, I managed to hold my nerve and didn't lose my composure.

......

On her first day of payday, Miss Xing was in high spirits and spent more than an hour strolling around the shopping street with Aunt Bai, who was disguised as an ordinary Hakimi.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Weiss's attempt to use lunch as an excuse to run away was futile; he was completely stuck to Miss Xing, who was like a leech.

In order to continue to get along with Aunt Bai, she shamelessly followed along for meals.

Weiss had absolutely no temper with this extravagant madman.

Before long, the three people and the cat arrived at a noble restaurant with elegant decor and a quiet environment.

Sitting on the sofa by the window, Weiss looked helplessly at Miss Xing and Bingfei sitting across the table.

"Ladies, just a friendly reminder..."

"As the two of you direct guards of the Night Patrol Headquarters, is it really appropriate for you to be out shopping and eating with me so openly?"

"Aren't you afraid that the night patrol will suspect you of secretly colluding with the enemy and plotting a rebellion?"

"Enemies? Haha..."

However, upon hearing Weiss's warning, Miss Xing, who was enjoying cake and dessert, burst into extremely arrogant laughter.

"Don't worry, in the eyes of the Night Patrol, there are never any real enemies."

"All incidents are simply categorized as big troubles and small troubles."

"Given the current delicate situation in the capital, whether it's those agitated academics or you who just defeated Winter Duke, in the Night Patrol Headquarters' evaluation system, you're at most a minor nuisance..."

"But the Divine Court, which possesses the most forbidden artifacts in the world; the Star Clock, which claims to have reversed time; the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, whose wealth is so great that it can influence the world's economic lifeline; and the Three Killers, who lead the noble faction of the royal city—these are the real troubles!!"

"The reason is simple: no matter who it is, even those so-called big troublemakers, they are currently just cautiously exploiting loopholes and looking for opportunities to stir up trouble within the framework of the rules set by the Night Patrol Headquarters."

At this point, Miss Xing pointed at Weiss with her spoon:

"Just like you, Weiss..."

"While your actions yesterday were indeed extremely heinous, the reason you're still sitting here unharmed, dining with us, is precisely because of the protection of the Lunette family's power, coupled with Winter's misjudgment in striking first. That's how you cleverly escaped unscathed, isn't it? This doesn't mean Night Patrol fears your own combat strength..."

"If you want to experience what the Night Patrol's true, irreconcilable enemy is like..." At this point, Miss Xing suddenly leaned closer to Weiss, her blank eyes filled with a hint of excitement that seemed to enjoy watching a good show.

"Then try this: the next time Dongjue or any other guard is on routine patrol in the streets, without any reason or warning, just a quick and vicious blow from behind. That would be a real terrorist attack!!!"

After Miss Xing finished her long speech, Weiss fell into a brief silence.

He had to admit that what this seemingly crazy Miss Xing said was surprisingly true.

Yesterday's conflict with Dong Jue at the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce warehouse, although I went a little too far, can still be excused as excessive self-defense.

Therefore, no matter how furious the Night Patrol Headquarters was, due to the constraints imposed by the noble forces of the royal city and the rules they had established, they could not directly mobilize a large army to kill him in the street.

Without the protection of the Lunette family.

If you initiated the attack on Dongjue.

One of the two elements is missing.

That would probably lead to a different outcome...

As for the Caged Bird, a being of the Seven Wonders level, it can hardly be considered an enemy of the Night Patrol.

That's Snow White's enemy.

Meanwhile, Bingfei, who had been sitting quietly eating to the side, did not speak up to participate in the conversation. She simply maintained her elegant demeanor and ate the cake in small bites with a small spoon.

The lunch ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

After the meal, Miss Xing suddenly fell seriously ill.

No one knows how she predicted her incredible luck today, but she decisively picked up Aunt Bai and headed to the casino to make a fortune.

"Feel free to browse around."

"Meet here at 6 PM, and I'll return the cat to you then!!"

After leaving a message.

Miss Xing then hurriedly carried Aunt Bai away from the restaurant.

They just abandoned Weiss and Bingfei like that.

Watching Miss Xing's hurried departure, Weiss, still sitting in his seat, was somewhat bewildered.

"Wait, I don't think I've even agreed yet?"

"This amazing person..."

This was the first time Weiss had encountered someone even more outrageous than Vera in terms of appearance...

After letting out a helpless sigh, Weiss turned his head and met Bingfei's icy blue eyes, which were silently watching him.

Bingfei rested her cheek on one hand, then asked with a curious expression:

“Mr. Weiss…”

"You actually consider yourself our enemy?"

"That really puzzles me..."

"Why do you say that?" Weiss asked calmly, without changing his expression.

"Because Mr. Weiss has a very strong sense of kinship, more than ten times stronger than Lord Dongjue... Compared to him, you are more like one of us, aren't you?"

As Bingfei spoke in a charming tone, she suddenly stood up.

Before Weiss could react, she had already walked to the sofa area on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, she sat down next to Weiss without any hesitation, and intentionally or unintentionally pushed him little by little into the innermost corner of the sofa.

In this cramped space, Weiss was completely cut off from any escape route by Bingfei.

The only way to get out is to ride directly over her.

The two were so close that Weiss could even clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Bingfei.

"Didn't I already tell you that I'm married?"

Weiss remained expressionless.

Ice Queen ignored Weiss's warning. She turned her head slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"I know you're married; you must remain chaste for your wife..."

"So, Mr. Weiss, if you can answer one small question for me truthfully, I'll immediately step aside and let you out..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bingfei made an extremely bold move.

She extended her small, cool hand, clad in a white lace glove, and gently placed it on the back of Weiss's hand with remarkable naturalness.

Then, she abandoned all her previous playfulness and charm, and asked in an unprecedentedly serious tone:

"Mr. Weiss, is the new mystery within you currently in an automatically awakened state, or is it in a dormant, unawakened state?"

"This question is very important to me, so please answer me extremely seriously and without holding anything back..."

Upon hearing the question posed by Ice Queen, Weiss's mood suddenly became somewhat strange.

If I told you that I had one on and one off, how would you respond?

The Snowflake Mystery, newly added to the Wind Addict path, is indeed in a state of automatic awakening and can be activated at any time.

However, the new Ice Block Secret added to the Feathered Warriors in the Killing System is currently still in a grayed-out, unawakened state.

Therefore, no matter how you answer this question, you can't go wrong.

So, Weiss pretended to sigh helplessly, as if he couldn't hide it any longer.

"It's open..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Weiss immediately activated the Snowflake Mystery to prove it.

Accompanied by an extremely faint supernatural fluctuation, a few crystal-clear snowflakes condensed out of thin air and slowly drifted down.

However, after witnessing Weiss unleash his freezing power, Bingfei's expression did not soften; instead, it became extremely complex and bewildered in an instant.

Her icy blue eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why is this happening...?

Even though Weiss was emanating such a strong aura of snow, even surpassing Dongjue's by more than ten times.

But...why?

Why is it that such a person was ultimately bestowed with only a fragmented and incomplete mystery by Lady Snow?

It's important to know that the Snow White Mystery that can be automatically awakened is actually a Mystery Fragment, which is only priced at 20 Ice Coins in the Snow White exclusive shop.

Just like the Winter Duke...

On the contrary, the mystery that has not yet been awakened is the complete one.

It is a complete mystery bestowed by the snow, priced at a full 200 Ice Coins.

Within the guards, it is also known as a miracle and a mystery!

Although it requires a great deal of time and experience to understand and comprehend, once successfully grasped, it can unleash truly miraculous power!

Most importantly, Lady Snow White did not publicly grant him any title, neither making him a direct guard nor incorporating him into the core system of the Night Patrol!

This bizarre situation—

And Miss Hoshino, who wasn't a member of the Snow White Clan and hadn't received any arcane enchantments, yet was forcibly chosen to become a guard, are two completely opposite extremes!

“Mr. Weiss…”

"I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

At this point, a hint of ambiguity flashed in Bingfei's eyes.

She didn't release her hand from the back of Weiss's hand, but gently turned his palm over, and then their fingers intertwined tightly.

Weiss: ?

Wait, why is there a mandatory step?!

"Sure enough..."

The moment their fingers intertwined, Bingfei let out a soft, contented sigh.

In fact, she had already vaguely sensed something when they held hands at the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

Only the extremely concentrated aura of the same origin emanating from Weiss could alleviate and suppress the immense pressure that had been accumulating within her body since the series of bloody battles that erupted in the Southern Region, a pressure that was almost causing her to overload her magic and break her spirit.

In comparison, things like the Winter Duke and astrology are flawed...

She did not consider them to be her own kind.

In contrast, Weiss, despite possessing only fragmented mysteries, has such a vast aura of snow.

This is so much fun...

Bingfei's icy blue eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

Meanwhile, Weiss, who was cornered at the back of the sofa and had his fingers forcibly intertwined with the other party's, had an extremely stiff expression and felt like he was about to become a vegetable from tension.

"Aunt Bai, help..."

Chapter 97: The Wrath of a Vegetable!! 9K

In a dimly lit corner of the restaurant, Weiss was forced by Bingfei to the very back of the sofa.

Those cool, soft little hands forcibly intertwined their fingers with his.

Weiss's expression was slightly stiff, and his whole body was tense, but he had no way to resist. He was in a very awkward and delicate situation.

If it were someone like Cassandra, the Little Sword Saint, a superhuman with a killing system who clearly hones his body through countless trials, he wouldn't hesitate to put up a little resistance and push the other party away.

As a natural system addict, he knew all too well just how fragile an unenhanced, blank body could be.

It's worth noting that superhumans in the natural system at least occasionally go out for a walk, breathe some fresh air, or exercise.

And the warlocks of the extravagant system...
