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

"Oh, do you want it...?"

"I really don't want to!!"

"Or..."

After spending a long time flirting and teasing each other like a couple in the booth, Weiss finally gave up in despair.

Never mind, I'll return it to her later when I have the chance, or have another colleague give it to her...

It's better than this drawn-out, tug-of-war situation.

In his desperation, Weiss completely forgot the rule that Ice Coins could not be traded, and had no idea what special methods Ice Queen had used.

.........

—Meanwhile, Night Patrol Headquarters

Dongjue's mood today can be described as extremely depressed.

As the strongest of the younger generation of the Wilder Hess family, the former top student of the Icefall Extraordinary Academy, and one of the eight direct guards of the Night Patrol!

He was openly defeated by Weiss, a commoner from the fringes of the underworld, in full view of everyone, with almost no power to resist...

Leaving aside the extremely negative consequences of these events, let's leave aside for now.

What pained him most was—

He had painstakingly saved up 20 Ice Coins over the years, but when he checked this morning, he found that 2 of them had been mercilessly deducted by the Snow White Shop!

Clearly, Lady Snow White has already detected his incompetence and poor performance.

Dong Jue locked himself in a private meeting room all day, silently reflecting on his actions.

Even though he had escaped reality to this tragic extent.

Miss Xing's relentless barrage of remote call requests continued to pour in, despite all the pressure.

After the remote conversation was completed.

Dongjue even felt like dying.

Misfortunes never come singly, but double happiness arrives.

As expected, Miss Xing was detained by the casino on her first day of payday and asked Dong Jue to bring her a cat.

With no other option, Dong Jue dragged his still-healing, severely injured body to the casino with a look of utter despair on his face.

Fortunately, Miss Xing didn't shamelessly ask me to pay the ransom myself.

Otherwise, Dongjue would never have gone to help.

He took the cat with him.

As for Miss Xing herself, she might as well spend the night in jail...

Let's learn some lessons from this.

So, as night fell, Dong Jue, with a dark expression throughout, went to the casino and brought out a white cat.

Afterwards, following Miss Xing's instructions, he took the cat to a restaurant.

However......

The moment he reached the corner of the restaurant, his expression froze completely.

A man and a woman were seen standing very intimately together, their hands clasped together in a very ambiguous manner.

The woman among them was none other than his colleague, Bingfei, one of the newly promoted Eight Guards.

And the other man...

Weiss!!!

At the same time, seeing Dong Jue's blank expression and shattered worldview, and Bai Yi on his shoulder who was equally dumbfounded, Weiss's breath hitched.

But Bingfei, sitting next to him, didn't feel embarrassed at all. She remained calm and composed, and even waved to Dongjue naturally.

The next second, taking advantage of Bingfei's relaxed vigilance, Weiss shook off her hand and then flipped backward from behind the sofa, forcing her to resort to acrobatic tricks.

After quickly getting up, he snatched Aunt Bai from Dong Jue's shoulder and fled the restaurant without looking back.

"Excuse me, you...you people, what are you doing here...?"

Dong Jue stared at Weiss's fleeing figure, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

However, Bingfei was in no mood to pay any attention to Dongjue.

After Weiss broke free from his grasp and escaped.

Bingfei's originally joyful eyes suddenly became somewhat empty, listless, and lifeless.

Then, with a hint of resentment, she kicked the corner of the table and poured all the visible condiments into the cup of tea that Weiss hadn't finished drinking, and began to carry out an evil alchemy.

"Remember to pay compensation."

Seeing that Bingfei was in such a bad mood, Dongjue only said one weak sentence.

Ultimately, I didn't have the courage to express any opinion on this matter.

.......

After escaping the restaurant, they walked along the dark road back to the Lunette family mansion.

Weiss kept frantically offering weak explanations to Aunt Bai, who looked at him with an expression of utter disbelief:

"Aunt Bai, please let me explain. We really didn't do anything!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell Elune..." Aunt Bai rolled her eyes like a cat.

"No! She really forced her way into my hand. I was cornered against the wall, and I couldn't break free at all!"

"Yes, yes, I believe you, I won't tell." Aunt Bai nodded perfunctorily.

"No, we really..."

Along the way, every few steps Weiss took, he would sheepishly try to explain himself.

As they approached the imposing gates of the Lunette family mansion, Weiss took a deep breath and couldn't help but utter one last sentence.

"Aunt Bai, I've been struck by the Ice Consort's sword..."

"Okay, okay! I know!!!" Aunt Bai said, unable to bear it any longer, after hearing Weiss's innocent words.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she coughed violently for a while: "Cough cough, ptooey ptooey ptooey! Just pretend I didn't say anything! No, I didn't hear anything either!"

Wei Xiao: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Soon, the man and the cat returned to the mansion, their hearts pounding with fear.

To their surprise, even though it was already this late, Cassandra was still sitting in the main seat of the restaurant, with a sumptuous dinner laid out on the table, clearly waiting for their return.

Weiss, holding Aunt Bai, stood at the restaurant entrance, exchanging a guilty glance with her.

How can this be explained?

One of the eight night patrol guards spent an entire afternoon whispering sweet nothings in a corner of the restaurant.

The other was taken directly to the casino by another of the Eight Guards, where he had a great time, and was eventually detained as gambling money.

Aunt Bai and Weiss tacitly chose to remain silent.

Although Cassandra, the Little Sword Saint, had publicly supported Ice Queen's rise to power, it was merely to the extent of admiration.

Now that the Ice Consort has become one of the eight direct guards of the Night Patrol.

They must be in a somewhat awkward position regarding their political stance.

Fortunately, Cassandra seemed to be in a good mood tonight and didn't press them too much about their afternoon's itinerary, letting the sweaty Weiss and Aunt White get away with it so easily.

After dinner, I watched as Weiss, looking relieved, hurriedly left the restaurant.

The young swordsman Cassandra picked up his glass, took a sip, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

"The taste of Ice Princess..."

How did those two become friends?

"Could it be that we just happened to run into each other...?"

Meanwhile, Weiss sneaked back to his bedroom like a thief, and then immediately went to wash up and change.

It seems Aunt Bai isn't planning to sleep with them today.

After all, her favorite cat bed had already been brought over in a carriage by the maids.

So, after taking a bath, Weiss lay down next to Elune as usual, put his hands behind his head, and couldn't help but recall the outrageous events that had happened that day.

Elune: ?

No, what does that mean?

After seeing Weiss's inner thoughts through the moon's mind-reading ability.

Elune was almost shattered.

This afternoon, Weiss actually secretly held hands with that Ice Queen in the restaurant for the entire afternoon!?

Although the couple in name have never exchanged a complete sentence to this day, Elune doesn't believe there's any romantic feeling between them.

However, to be fair...

Even though they lay together every day, and Weiss, the person she shared a bed with, was just a soulless, lifeless pillow, Elune still harbored an extremely strong possessive desire for him.

Stained by snow, flirting with the Little Sword Saint, holding hands with the Ice Princess, bathing with Aunt Bai, and Vera...

Uh, forget about Vera.

Even if there were some special gathering after Weiss, the people on the Vera ship wouldn't even get a turn; they would just be tied up and hung from the ceiling to watch the battle.

Elune mentally mocked the numerous crimes that Weiss had committed during this period!

Then, at this moment—

The person in a vegetative state is furious!!!

"Buzz buzz buzz—!!!"

A large group of rainbow ponies, flashing with colorful special effects, suddenly rushed out from beside Elune and rampaged through the bedroom.

The sudden noise and light pollution from B startled Weiss, who was lying next to him.

After Weiss got up, he thought that Elune suddenly had something urgent to discuss, so he quickly picked up a special pen and paper from the bedside table and fiddled with them in front of Elune for a long time.

After waiting for a long time, Elune still didn't give any response.

"Is he thirsty?"

"Weren't the maids fed today?"

While speaking with a puzzled expression, Weiss picked up the water bottle and fed Elune some water.

He had only been lying down again for a few seconds after we finished taking care of him.

Those colorful rainbow ponies came running out once again with great momentum.

"Hey, what's wrong now? Is your lying position uncomfortable?"

With patience, Weiss sat up and carefully manipulated Elune's soft, delicate body, changing her into a more comfortable side-lying position.

Seeing that the rainbow pony had disappeared, he thought he had finally gotten it over with, so he breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.

However, not long after.

"Da da da da—!!!"

The Rainbow Pony once again came out in a large, colorful procession, its dazzling lights almost blinding Wes.

So Weiss had to get up again and turn Elune over, trying to change her position.

This agonizing scene played out more than a dozen times in just half an hour.

Finally, Weiss, having exhausted all other options, decided to go all out.

He sighed, then simply reached out and gently pulled Elune's cold, soft body into his arms.

"Alright, alright, be good, stop fooling around."

"Go to sleep..."
