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

But when you experience it yourself...

All he wanted to say was, where do all these vague and unrealistic thoughts come from?

It's not like a flashback before death...

The feeling of a first kiss is probably similar to Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit.

I don't feel like I'm hooked.

Meanwhile, seeing that Weiss hadn't reacted for a long time, a faint sense of guilt flashed in Cassandra's eyes.

She pursed her lips, her tone softening.

Are you angry?

"Okay, it seems I've crossed the line. I'm sorry, I went too far this time—"

"Actually, I just wanted to find an excuse to reward you for helping me with my treatment these past few days... Well, it's just a joke, and as you know, I'm the kind of person who..."

The little swordsman was still making up stories in an attempt to beg for forgiveness.

Before she could finish recounting her inner thoughts, Weiss grabbed the back of her head and forcibly pulled her into his arms.

The next second, Weiss's fingers ran through her burning purple hair, and he pressed her face against his, his lips pressing down with several times more force than before.

Cassandra was completely unprepared and stunned, utterly unprepared for Weiss's reaction.

She instinctively pushed against his chest with both hands, but her resistance lasted less than two seconds before she gave up completely. Her fingers curled up on his clothes for a moment and then slowly fell down.

To be fair, Vanvis wasn't a natural man. He would have already punished this provocative little swordsman after the treatment in the carriage, instead of waiting until now to start torturing her.

Unlike the initial brief, fleeting touch, this minute-long intimate contact allowed Weiss to truly experience many more details.

Her hot, soft pink lips carried the scent of wine and the unique heat of her own, along with an impact that seemed to dissolve reason into paste.

After a minute, Cassandra started punching his shoulder to signal him to stop, but Weiss continued to tease her for about half a minute longer before letting go.

Cassandra lifted her head from his embrace. Her face wasn't flushed at all, but her breathing was noticeably more rapid, her chest heaving, and her purple hair was scattered messily over her shoulders.

She slightly raised her eyes and glared at Weiss with a hint of resentment.

"What are you doing?! We have important business to attend to..."

"An important person is entering the stage!!"

At first, Weiss thought the little swordsman was making excuses to escape.

When she turned to look at the screen, she realized that what she said was actually true.

The top student from the academy this year, that stunningly beautiful red-haired girl, Corona—

We have officially stepped onto the ice stairs of the Snow Palace!

The main event has already begun.

The two immediately returned to their original posture of sitting close together on the sofa.

It seems to be an assumption that nothing happened just now.

But the atmosphere still became increasingly delicate and uncontrollable.

The air was filled with an indescribable, tender, and enchanting atmosphere.

Since they had already crossed the line, and the current position of being squeezed into the single sofa was indeed not very comfortable, Weiss simply reached out his left hand and put it on Cassandra's shoulder, gently embracing her.

This action did make the sitting posture of both parties much more comfortable.

Cassandra turned to look at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked in a teasing tone.

"Mr. Weiss, why are you getting more and more outrageous? Don't you already have a wife?!"

He responded to Cassandra's somewhat amused tone.

Weiss didn't tolerate her and directly tore off a section of the strap of her nightgown from her left shoulder.

Wait, no...

Have our relationships reached the point where we can joke like this?

Under the incredulous gaze of the little sword saint's purple double pupils, Weiss mimicked her previous tone and rambled on in a serious manner.

"You are the Ten Kings, and I am the Ten Kings' brother-in-law. I can kiss whomever I want, and I can bully whomever I want."

Cassandra: ......

Then she had no other options.

[Wei Xiao: Ha, ha—]

Although Weiss's excuse for feigning madness was somewhat brainless.

But this time, Wei Xiao really couldn't laugh. He forced a couple of dry laughs and then fell silent.

[Wei Xiao: ?]

Chapter 104: Weiss Appears!! [9.5K]

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Corona stood at the entrance to the Snow Palace Trial.

The iconic ice-blue uniform of Bingxia Extraordinary Academy fluttered slightly in the night breeze, creating a striking visual contrast with her fiery red hair that cascaded down to her waist.

Almost at the same moment, the entire city's streets erupted in excitement.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the streets below like a tsunami.

Almost all members of the academic school were expressing this passionate excitement without reservation.

Even through the soundproof glass of the hotel's top-floor suite, the terrifying sound still reverberated into the room.

In the bedroom, Aunt Bai, who was curled up next to Elune, was soon woken up by the noise.

As her consciousness gradually returned, she shook her head in surprise, then immediately got out of bed, ran to the door, and lightly jumped to open the doorknob.

After rushing out of the living room, Aunt Bai's first reaction was to look at the panoramic glass window on the side.

The crowd was a dense, dark mass, and the deafening cheers shook the entire royal city.

"What's going on? Who's making their appearance?!"

"Is it Ice Princess...?"

Aunt Bai turned her head as she asked the question.

Both Weiss and Cassandra were standing at attention.

The two were standing close together, their expressions carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible stiffness.

You see, if Aunt Bai's first reaction when she rushed out of the bedroom hadn't been to turn her head to look out the window, but instead glanced at the single sofa in front of her, she would have seen the ambiguous scene of the two of them squeezed together on the sofa.

Fortunately, Aunt Bai was first drawn to the sound outside the window...

This delay of about two seconds was enough for the two of them to react.

Weiss breathed a sigh of relief.

Cassandra quickly regained her composure. As she gently combed her long, purple, star-like hair that fell over her shoulders, she slowly and softly explained, "It's not Ice Queen, it's Corona, who is this year's top student in the academy."

"Isn't her popularity a bit too exaggerated...?" Aunt Bai turned her head to look at the still-unending waves of revelry outside the window and asked in surprise.

It should be noted that before leaving the royal city, Aunt Bai had accompanied the five siblings' two mothers to study at the academy for a period of time.

Even the most gifted students cannot attract much attention before graduation.

But Corona's mere appearance was enough to cause a frenzy among the entire audience.

This is absolutely incredible...

Do all the young people in the royal city like to idolize celebrities...?

The young swordsman walked to the window with his arms crossed over his chest and began to explain with great interest:

"Actually, her life story is quite legendary."

"Two years ago, she had just entered the Ice Cloud Extraordinary Academy as a commoner when she was attacked by the Divine Court during the annual freshman training camp. At that time, the Divine Court dispatched three of the eleven zodiac gods."

"The attack resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries among the new recruits, including two high-level instructors. However, she managed to hold off the Gemini Palace for a full ten minutes while alone, successfully stalling until the Night Patrol reinforcements arrived."

"That's amazing?"

Aunt Bai was stunned.

The cat's expression was slightly incredulous.

Keep in mind that Huang Dao Eleven, the highest-ranking official of the Divine Court, is at least a 7th-level Transcendent!

A freshman who just enrolled in school was able to hold out for 10 minutes in a one-on-one fight; this level of achievement cannot be simply summarized by the word "genius"...

"Indeed, this is practically the treatment of a main character..."

Weiss also felt a bit emotional.

He had seen quite a few similar scripts in the fantasy novels he read in Bright Moon City.

However, the Divine Court is considered a top-tier supernatural power, so sending high-ranking officials to attack a group of freshmen seems rather low-class...

However, it's not entirely without reason.

In the eyes of the world, if the Star Bell represents fanatical madness, then the Divine Court represents pure hatred...

The difference is that the Divine Court's hatred is only directed at the Night Patrol and the towns under its jurisdiction, and it generally does not easily take action against extraordinary forces in other regions.

Star Clock, on the other hand, is universally acknowledged as a complete slacker.

Not only do they constantly proclaim that they have altered the timeline, but they also frequently use that mysterious golden clock taboo object to suddenly teleport to various parts of the world, then publicly display some meaningless Jiahao behavior and utter some pretentious and bizarre quotes.

No matter how many times the night patrol conducts post-mortem reviews and in-depth analyses, it is impossible to understand their behavioral motivations and thought processes.

However, it must be said that after this mysterious operation, the number of believers in the Star Clock is actually increasing day by day.

At this moment, Corona's story has piqued Aunt Bai's interest.

She gently nudged herself a few times and skillfully climbed onto the little swordsman's shoulder, wagging her tail, intending to stay up all night to watch the battle.

The night was deep.

Corona officially stepped onto the first step of the ice staircase of the Snow Palace.

After her, no other academic challenger registered.

For the academics, Corona is their pride and hope; during her appearances, no student would dare to steal the spotlight.

Meanwhile, the several seventh-rank nobles and several night patrol officers who were originally scheduled to take the stage at this time all consciously canceled their queue order and waited in place below the ice stairs of the night patrol headquarters.

After all, nobody wants to make a fool of themselves.

To compete against a powerhouse like Corona would be nothing short of humiliating.

Her strength is clearly aimed at the 5-kilometer mark, and she may even be able to challenge the 10-kilometer mark. She only came to participate in the trial to fight Bingfei.

It's no exaggeration to say that today was completely her personal stage!

..

Outside the royal city streets, the enthusiastic cheers and encouragement never stopped.

Tens of thousands of people chanted Corona's name, creating a deafening and continuous roar.

It should be noted that this is the first time in hundreds of years that the Night Patrol has reopened the Snow Palace Trials under external pressure.

However, the commencement of the Snow Palace Trials was merely a partial success for this large-scale protest by the academic faction.

Their ultimate goal was to show the entire Night Patrol Royal City that the top academician was more suitable to serve as their direct bodyguard than the parachuted-in Ice Consort!

The decision regarding the Seven Wonders could not possibly be changed based on the outcome of a single trial at the Snow Palace.

But if Corona can suppress Ice Queen and win in front of the whole city, it would at least be a good start to this long struggle, wouldn't it?

Even if the ending cannot be rewritten for the time being, it will certainly affect the standards of judgment of Lady Shirayuki in future generations.

Just like that hero who reached the summit hundreds of years ago...!!!

Amidst great anticipation, Corona officially began her ascent.

However, to everyone's surprise, she did not use any supernatural abilities during the initial climb, nor did she show any signs of any forbidden items being activated.

He simply walked up the ice crystal steps one by one with his flesh and blood, at a moderate pace, with steady and even breathing.

Using only her physical strength, she easily reached an area 1 kilometer away.
