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

Elune: Just die already!!

Elune did not respond.

She remained asleep peacefully, her chest rising and falling gently with her breath, her long, snow-white hair gleaming in the moonlight.

Weiss sighed and gently unscrewed the bottle.

The single, incredibly precious Rank 7 potion rolled at the bottom of the bottle, reflecting the night and emitting a chilling glow.

He tilted his head back and poured the only liquid into his mouth without hesitation.

"Wow—"

In an instant.

An extremely terrifying force suddenly exploded from his throat.

Weiss felt as if all the blood vessels in his body were instantly blocked by an extremely violent supernatural force.

It was just a single drop, yet compared to a Climatologist's 8th-tier potion, it was utterly brutal, like slitting a throat.

Every inch of skin, hair, and nerve was pushed to the edge of some kind of limit.

His eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth, and even his pores were constantly spewing out swirling vortexes of air, like a bizarre scene of steam eruption.

But Weiss remained motionless, quietly sensing the strange change.

His premonition was right. After mastering the secrets of the path, the bottleneck to the 7th rank had already disappeared naturally. All that was missing was the number of 7th rank potions.

After a dozen seconds, all the strange phenomena gradually subsided.

As the body calmed down again.

Bathed in the moonlight, Weiss slowly opened his eyes.

A silver ring had appeared on the iris of his pupil, encircling the white area of ​​his eye on the outer side of the pupil. It flickered back and forth dozens of times before fading away and becoming undetectable.

Chapter 55: Weiss Tortures the Snow Knight 6K

After taking this drop of Rank 7 magic potion, it only took about ten seconds for Weiss to easily suppress this frenzied extraordinary power.

Not enough, not nearly enough...

If there's only one drop, it won't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

It's not that the potency of a Tier 7 potion isn't strong enough; compared to a Tier 8 climate master's potion, it's already extremely potent. It's just that it's completely insufficient for Weiss, who has now grasped the secrets of the path.

In terms of intensity and purity, the 7th-tier transcendent is indeed fundamentally different from the 8th and 9th tiers.

Weiss made a simple summary.

The way a Level 9 wind addict perceives the weather can be described as "resonance".

When the wind blows past them, wind addicts can accurately sense the direction, temperature, and humidity of the wind, as well as the gloomy and unpredictable mood of the weather, but they cannot control it.

The 8th-level climatologist's role in defining the weather is more like a form of "calling out".

They can send a request to the sky, causing a town to be swept by strong winds and thunder, or they can forcibly part the dark clouds that blot out the sun.

The sky cleared up and became a clear blue.

—But now.

Even a mere fragment of 7th-tier extraordinary power stirred within him a completely different impulse.

It was a wild, brutal, and almost uncontrollable urge to dominate.

All the clouds above the city, all the wind directions, all the rain and fog, and the celestial phenomena and climate within a thousand miles were all laid out as a map in his perception at this moment.

It even makes people unable to resist...

I want to crush these ten thousand miles of white clouds into pieces!

"..."

"..."

"call--"

Thinking of this, Weiss exhaled a long breath, the outline of the wind rings in his eyes appearing and disappearing.

Tier 7, truly worthy of being a city-level combat force, even a single drop of its power is so terrifying.

If I become a true 7th-tier transcendent being in the future.

I really have to tell everyone I meet that my combat power is 53 to make up for all the bittersweet experiences I've had along the way...

"From rank 8 to rank 7, every drop taken represents a qualitative change."

"Looks like I'll have to go see that person from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild again tomorrow..."

At this very moment, as Weiss was deep in thought...

"buzz"

With a thud.

A very slight vibration suddenly came from under Elune's pillow.

Ok?

Is it a love letter?

Weiss quickly realized that Vera must have sent a message.

I have no idea what important thing this woman wants to tell me.

So Weiss reached under Elune's pillow and carefully pulled out the pink envelope.

Seeing this, Elune activated the moon's power without hesitation, and began to spy from a god-like perspective.

Unfortunately, since she can't move, this is all the hobbies she has left...

however--

next second.

I saw the contents of the love letter.

Weiss and Elune both fell silent.

Logically speaking, if Vera were to write a letter to the Moon Emperor at this time, regardless of the content, the corresponding handwriting should appear on the letter.

However, strangely enough...

Although there were indeed traces on the love letter.

But it's not handwriting.

Instead, it was a damp, suspicious patch of water that had slowly spread.

Weiss: ...

Elune: ...

Weiss: ......

Elune: ......

Weiss: ?

Elune: ?

After a full minute of silence, Weiss covered his forehead and sighed.

"What is Vera doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Elune: I don't know, I just happened to be reading your mind. If you didn't think of it that way, I wouldn't know either.

Weiss, of course, couldn't hear Elune's innocent voice.

He stood there stunned for a long time before stiffly pinching the edge of the love letter with two fingers, his posture extremely cautious, and carefully stuffing the love letter under the bed.

Although I don't know if it's a misunderstanding, whatever the truth is, putting it under the pillow would make it seem a bit morbid.

The next morning.

Weiss rarely gets up so early; he went downstairs for breakfast at 9 a.m.

To be honest, it wasn't very noticeable when he first reached level 8, but recently he seems to be sleeping less and less.

Even with the natural progression of the system, the body's overall attributes will still experience a slight increase.

I can feel refreshed even if I only sleep six or seven hours a day.

Then, as soon as Weiss went downstairs, he saw Vera slumped limply on the sofa in the dining room.

Her legs were slightly curled up, her pink curly hair cascaded down her waist, and her whole body was sunk deep into the sofa. Her posture was so languid that it seemed as if her bones had been removed, and a faint blush covered her snow-white neck and earlobes.

He was lost in thought and didn't even notice the silver-haired boy coming downstairs.

Weiss sat down at the dining table, eating breakfast while watching the maids call out to the dead.

"Miss Vera, would you like to have breakfast?"

Do you need a blanket?

"..."

"Miss Vera, are you alright?"

"..."

The two maids called Vera for a long time, but she was still in a daze, completely unable to concentrate.

The maids had no choice but to cover her with a blanket and then leave.

Seriously, isn't this guy's sage period a little too long?

Weiss had a reasonable suspicion.

He quickly suppressed these perverted thoughts.

It's hard to say. Maybe they're still asleep, or maybe I'm just making assumptions based on preconceived notions.

However, even after Vis finished breakfast, Vera remained in a dazed and confused state.

He walked around the sofa and headed towards the mansion's main gate.

Although Mona had warned them not to go out except for essential reasons, Weiss still had some important business to attend to today.

After all, they had already accepted bribes yesterday, so they definitely had to help the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce get the license.

He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.

Moreover, if given the chance, he wanted to see if there were any other channels to buy a few more drops of Rank 7 magic potion.

"Weiss, wait!"

Just as they reached the entrance to the hall, Aunt Bai suddenly jumped out of the second-floor window.

Are you going out?

Weiss nodded. "I have some business to take care of. I made a deal with the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce yesterday regarding their license."

Hearing this, Aunt Bai blinked her eyes very obediently: "Can I come with you?"

Weiss: "Huh...?"

He paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

Since joining the Selenes family, he has never seen Aunt Bai leave the house.

Seeing Weiss's confused expression, Aunt Bai shyly covered her face.

"Oh dear, even though I'm quite old, I do get a tiny bit curious and yearning for those legendary powerful figures. What if I accidentally bumped into the Moonlight Thunder Emperor and fell for him? Who knows~"

Weiss: "In that case, should we go to the pet store to get one...?"

"Crackling and popping—"

Before Weiss could finish speaking, Aunt Bai jumped onto his face and started punching him repeatedly with her cat paws.

After playing around for a while...
