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

Just as he was staring at the Book of the World in deep thought, the white-haired girl in his arms suddenly stirred slightly, and her eyelashes began to tremble gently.

Weiss immediately realized that Elune had probably woken up again.

Soon, Elune slowly opened her alluring eyes, her eyes filled with a hazy mist.

"Elune, should we go and inform Big Sister Adele?"

Weiss quickly asked.

Elune shook her head silently.

She could sense that her consciousness was becoming blurred at an extremely rapid pace.

She roughly estimated that this awakening would probably only last for about a minute. The Lunette family mansion was so big that by the time Weiss ran to wake up her sister and rushed back, she would have already fallen back into a coma.

When my sister comes running over excitedly and sees me still lying there like a corpse, the disappointment will probably be even greater.

Therefore, I should first tell Weiss what I really want to say.

She leaned closer again, then used her cool little hands to pull at Weiss's eyelids: "Weiss, I want to watch the Snow Palace Trial too..."

"it is good."

Weiss agreed without hesitation.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, Elune must have been bored from lying around all the time, so it was understandable that she wanted to watch some exciting events.

Besides, this is not a big deal. With the Little Sword Saint's strength and status, protecting a person in a vegetative state is not a problem. In fact, there will likely be a special viewing area for nobles.

Immediately afterwards, Elune said in a low, halting voice:

"And then, I'll give you... a reward."

"......award?"

Upon hearing this, Weiss looked puzzled, somewhat confused.

I don't think I've done anything particularly good lately that deserves a reward, have I?

Is it enough to just agree to her request?

In fact, Elune had overheard Cassandra and Weiss's conversation in the corridor during the day.

Elune knew that when Weiss refused the little swordsman's invitation, he was genuinely thinking of his wife, who was in a vegetative state.

Although his reason for "abstaining from sex" was a bit despicable and deserved a beating.

But because it's well-behaved.

Therefore, he should be rewarded...

Just as Weiss was still wondering what he had done wrong, Elune pressed her soft, delicate body completely against his chest.

It wasn't the previous half-hug posture.

It's a true close embrace...

And it was the person in a vegetative state who initiated the movement...

As they got closer, her pink lips carried a faint fragrance as she breathed sweetly into Weiss's ear.

"Mr. Vegetarian, don't complain about the heat, goodnight..."

Weiss's breath hitched.

After a long moment of stunned silence, he looked down at the beautiful white-haired girl in his arms, and tentatively reached his hands behind her back, then slowly hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her body, which was softer than cream.

"Um......"

"Good night."

It doesn't matter if there are any awkward situations or reactions along the way.

She's his wife, isn't she?

Weiss really went all out.

Natural Man, awakened in all his glory!!!

-

After that, time flew by.

Finally, only one day remains until the Snow Palace Trial officially opens!!!

The Night Patrol Headquarters had already removed the transparent barrier that obscured the Snow Palace Trial, so that the enormous ice staircase leading straight to the sky could be seen from any corner.

The streets and alleys were plastered with all sorts of announcements about the Snow Palace Trials, and the entire royal city was completely immersed in the anticipation of an impending storm.

Almost all factions and nobles dispatched their best young fighters.

As for the Lunette family, they also openly and honorably sent a rank 7 expert.

Weiss!!!

That's right, this time.

Weiss still registered as a member of the most hated Lunette family.

Chapter 102: The Trial Begins!! [1 words]

With less than 24 hours remaining until the highly anticipated Snow Palace Trial officially opens to the public, the countdown has begun.

The Lunette family had already registered Weiss to participate.

According to the rules, once the trial officially begins at 9:30 AM tomorrow, he can step onto the ice steps to challenge it at any time until the final deadline 15 days later.

However, the ranking registration will also end when the deadline arrives. Even if someone makes a final sprint at that time, it will only be judged as the final result at that moment.

You can stay on top and continue challenging, but it won't count towards your ranking.

The dinner took place in the dining room of the Lunette family mansion.

While Cassandra and Aunt White were having a relaxed chat, Weiss suddenly put down his knife and fork and made a serious remark.

"By the way, during the Snow Palace Trials..."

"Could Elune watch along too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent.

Cassandra and Aunt White exchanged glances, their double pupils and cat-like eyes flashing for a few moments before they both looked at Weiss with an incredibly eerie gaze.

To be fair, the requirement itself isn't difficult.

Given the Lunette family's status and power in the royal city, securing a spot in the best spectator area would be a piece of cake.

Let alone watching from the outside, even if Cassandra forcibly moved Elune's wheelchair to the core area of ​​the Night Patrol headquarters, forcing her to sit side-by-side with the high-ranking Night Patrol members to watch, it would still be barely possible...

However, the difficulty of execution is another matter; what truly made Cassandra and Aunt White unable to hold back was the requirement itself...

Was he planning to let his sleeping, vegetative wife admire his heroic demeanor during the Snow Palace Trial?

This artistic act was so ahead of its time...

Pure plant-based Jiahao!

It was identified as a groundbreaking debut.

Even the most abstract-minded Sword Saint couldn't hold back any longer, staring at Weiss with an expression of awe.

[Wei Xiao: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!]

This time, Weiss surprisingly didn't include Wei Xiao in the world book.

After all, only a person in a true vegetative state could probably resist such a bizarre suggestion...

Weiss sighed helplessly to himself.

He really went all out to satisfy Elune's demands this time.

In the silence, though somewhat tattered, this request was indeed easy for the young swordsman.

"Alright, although your request is a bit unusual..."

"But since you've brought it up, I'll do it your way."

"Go and push Elune's wheelchair down first. I've thought of a great spot for a view."

After Cassandra finished speaking swiftly, she instructed the maids who were standing around the restaurant to prepare the clothes and daily necessities needed for the next few days.

Weiss breathed a sigh of relief.

After he quickly returned to the bedroom, he spent more than 20 minutes carefully changing Elune's clothes, carrying her to the wheelchair, and then pushing her all the way to the manor's courtyard.

Afterwards, the group boarded a carriage and headed towards the Night Patrol Headquarters in the darkness.

On the carriage, Aunt Bai's tail was still swaying back and forth, and the expression on her cat face was extremely strange, as if she was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

Weiss looked helpless.

Even though he was a sex addict, a stereotypical, and detached man, he would still feel some shame and vulnerability when faced with this level of dark history.

All I can do is silently pray that Aunt Bai continues to maintain her image of an unparalleled magnanimity and won't spread rumors around in the future...

Half an hour later.

The Lunette family's carriage stopped on the street opposite the Night Patrol headquarters, where a super luxurious large aristocratic hotel came into view.

Weiss pushed Elune's wheelchair off the carriage and looked up to survey the surrounding streets and buildings.

He came here last time to repair the forbidden object and awaken the mysteries of the mountains. At that time, he was so focused on his business that he had no time to pay attention to anything else, and he didn't even notice the bustling surroundings.

Looking closely under the cover of night, one can see that along this street, including the magnificent luxury hotel in front of them, at least seven or eight large shops and upscale restaurants display the Lunette family crest of swords and halberds.

The other third of the properties bear the family crest of Wilderges.

What a profound cultural heritage!

Weiss felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, objectively speaking, he still doesn't quite understand why Elune and Adele's mother, with such a prominent and noble background, would choose to leave the decadent royal city and marry into that godforsaken Black Frontier.

Putting aside the scarce resources and limited access to information on the other side of the border, even if it were just for the pursuit of love—

Choosing to live in the underworld must be somewhat dangerous, right...?

I'm not saying anything bad, I just genuinely don't understand.

[Elune: ......]

[Elune: Actually, I don't know either...]

Their parents joined the Black Side campaign around the same time Elune became a vegetable.

Therefore, Elune, who had not yet gained the ability to read minds at the time, was also unaware of the specific reason.

As Weiss pondered this, he followed Cassandra into the hotel lobby.

Under the respectful reception of the front desk staff, they boarded a levitation elevator developed using extravagant magic, and with a slight feeling of weightlessness, they quickly ascended to the top floor.

What's astonishing is that this entire spacious top floor was actually converted into just one suite.

Then, as soon as the door opened, an extremely large panoramic glass window came into view.

The building of this penthouse suite is significantly taller than the Night Patrol Headquarters building across the street, offering an unobstructed view of most of the brightly lit streets of the royal city.

Cassandra, in her high heels, walked straight to the panoramic glass window and stood there.

"If you want to watch the entire Snow Palace Trial, there is no better place than here. Only the Night Patrol Headquarters will project and display the various sections of the Snow Palace Trial. Otherwise, after the challengers have climbed for about a kilometer, they will be completely out of sight for ordinary humans."

"Screen mirroring...?"

Weiss was somewhat taken aback.

Does this word seem somewhat out of place in this era?

He had thought that Miss Xing had used some kind of special, exclusive privilege last time.

"It's just the extravagant sorcerer's projection spell, it's very common, it can even rewind past events, anyway, you'll understand when you see it with your own eyes tomorrow~~" Cassandra explained with a smile, casually tapping the glass window with her finger: "Since it was your suggestion, let's stay here for the time being, so that Elune can have a good look at your invincible handsome figure."

Weiss: "亻亍"

Afterwards, he casually strolled around the luxurious suite for a while.

This huge suite also has four or five small bedrooms, more than enough to accommodate three people and a cat.

However, Cassandra had made it clear in advance that she couldn't stay here indefinitely because she had family affairs to attend to. She could only stay for two or three days at the beginning to enjoy the festivities, and then she would have to return to the mansion to handle serious matters.
