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

Elune: "So, you've been staring at me for so long just because you came up with this joke?"

In that instant, through the moon's revelation, Elune naturally grasped Whis's inner thoughts immediately.

Before she could even process what the other person meant, she saw Weiss being amused by the joke he had come up with.

Okay, so it turns out that besides nobles and commoners, those who can join the Selenes family are...

It could also be a god...

Elune wished she could wake up right now, kick this god-like man in the ass, and tell him that even vegetarians would find this kind of thing absolutely sinful!

I can't take it anymore, I really want to kick this idiot!!

No, one kick is too easy on him, he needs to be kicked twice!

Making a joke of me, a person in a vegetative state? Have you lost your conscience and morals?!

Elune was almost stunned with anger.

"despair"

Just then, an extremely faint sound rang out.

Even Adele, the eldest sister of the Selenes family, didn't notice.

However, the white cat lying on the table suddenly turned its head to look in Elune's direction.

In its line of sight, it saw Elune flick her right index finger lightly.

The magnitude was so small as to be almost negligible.

But for a person in a vegetative state who has been asleep for two whole years and has never made any movement—

This was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

"!!!"

The white cat reacted instantly.

It suddenly stood up from the small round table next to Adele, the sapphire necklace swaying with the movement, and its originally calm vertical pupils widened to their maximum size in an instant.

"Adele!!"

"Elune's finger just twitched!!"

The white cat's call went straight into Adele's mind.

Adele's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked incredulously in Elune's direction, noticing that Elune's little finger was slightly upturned, indicating that it had indeed been moved!

"Elune...?"

Adele's voice trembled.

It's been two years.

It's been two whole years.

She visits her younger sister every day, hoping for some kind of miracle to happen.

And this miracle happened in that very second—

who is it?

Who caused Elune to react?

Adele turned around abruptly, her gaze, a mixture of doubt and surprise, sweeping over the three addicts present.

The white cat leaped gracefully off the table and landed on the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Adele".

"No need to rush, we have plenty of time to carefully examine them."

"Without a doubt—"

"Among these three, there is one who particularly interests Elune."

Hearing this, Adele calmed down considerably. She took a deep breath and tried to quell her agitated emotions.

That's right, even their care as family members has been in vain over the past two years.

Now, these three wind addicts have already caused Elune to react on their very first meeting, which shows that this choice is indeed effective and they are indeed accelerating Elune's awakening.

But what they didn't know was that Elune was in a state of utter despair.

No, no, Aunt Bai, it's just a misunderstanding, do you believe me? I was just annoyed by this amazing person...

Okay, I won't get agitated anymore. Can you still pretend that what just happened didn't happen?

Okay, that definitely won't work, because my fingers did twitch slightly due to the intense fluctuations in my emotions.

Elune was speechless with grief, unable to defend herself.

She glared resentfully at Weiss, who had an innocent expression.

It's all because of this amazing person who's thinking the wrong thing...

In contrast, the other two addicts have become innocent and harmless.

Elune made up her mind.

No matter what, I cannot let this god-like figure named Weiss get close to me!!

This one person is absolutely unacceptable!!!

Chapter 8: Who wouldn't want to bear her a son?

After the meeting, the three wind addicts were led back to their rooms by their respective maids, while Elune, who was secretly furious, was also pushed away in her wheelchair.

Adele did not announce her final decision on the spot.

She originally thought she could finalize the selection today, but in reality, Elune's finger twitched, which made her so excited that she almost lost her composure, but she realized it after calming down.

She didn't know who had triggered Elune's reaction.

With three people present at the same time, there are too many variables.

We must spend more time confirming each one.

It would be safer to leave them there for the investigation.

"Aunt Bai, I need to go out of town tonight to take care of some things."

"I'll leave the household chores to you."

Adele stood by the window in the second-floor corridor, adjusting the cufflinks of her military uniform as she spoke softly.

The wall lamps on both sides of the corridor cast a dim, yellowish light, illuminating her profile and highlighting her sharp features. Her tied-up blonde hair was now slightly loose, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears, diminishing the imposing and stern aura she possessed during the day.

The white cat sat on the windowsill, its tail drooping lazily to one side: "Hmm, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on them for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Oh, and if possible, please keep an eye on that silver-haired boy."

"Weiss?" The white cat's ears twitched slightly. "Do you have some concerns about him?"

"It's not that I have any concerns, nor is it suspicious."

Adele shook her head. "Oliver's petty aristocratic mindset is too obvious; you can see right through him. Lorne, though a commoner, at least knows his place and etiquette, and he has a basic respect for our Selenes family. Only that Weiss seems to be here simply to enjoy a life of luxury."

“From the moment he walked in until now, he hasn’t been truly nervous for a single moment. He’s been somewhat absent-minded the whole time, and he even slept in late. So I’m thinking, perhaps, this kind of attitude and behavior is what truly defines a drug addict?”

The white cat narrowed its eyes but didn't reply.

The subtext of Adele's words is that Weiss is the most suitable candidate for Miss Elune.

"Of course, a decision cannot be made now; we need to continue observing for a while longer."

Adele sighed and turned to walk towards the stairs. "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Bai tonight."

The white cat watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, then licked its paws, lightly jumped down from the windowsill, and slowly walked towards the living room.

It was evening.

Dinner for three was laid out in the small dining room on the first floor of the mansion.

The candlelight flickered softly on the candlesticks, and the silver cutlery gleamed with a cool sheen under the lamplight. The dishes weren't extravagant, but each one was so exquisite that Weiss felt the takeout he had eaten in his previous life was nothing short of a desecration of food.

Oliver had arrived, dressed in a dark green casual outfit that was clearly meticulously styled, his hair even more impeccably combed than during the day.

The dark green fabric was of fine texture, with the collar edged in dark gold thread and the cuffs embroidered with a subtle, embellished pattern. The entire outfit, from head to toe, exuded a deliberate sense of meticulous attention to detail. Such attire for a casual meal seemed excessively ostentatious.

Lorne had already taken his seat, wearing the same gray-white shirt as during the day. He looked gentle and was wiping his already clean cutlery with a napkin.

Weiss arrived last.

He's the kind of person who can skip breakfast, but absolutely cannot miss lunch and dinner.

After sitting down, Weiss had a plate of pan-fried venison with honey-soaked root vegetables in front of him. The soup was milky white and topped with chopped scallions.

On a windowsill in the corner of the restaurant, a white cat was perched in front of a porcelain bowl, leisurely picking at the cat food inside. Its posture was lazy and nonchalant; it would occasionally glance up at the three of them before lowering its head to continue eating.

The silence lasted for a while.

Oliver broke the silence first, seemingly wanting to share his thoughts on the day.

"Today I finally get to see Miss Elune's true face."

His tone carried a subtle sense of感慨: "To be honest, although I had heard of the title of the most beautiful woman in Moonlit City before, I realized after seeing her with my own eyes that those rumors were not even exaggerated enough."

Lorne nodded slightly, seemingly having no objection to the assessment.

"That kind of beauty transcends ordinary aesthetics; how should I put it... it has a sacred quality."

Upon hearing this, Weiss paused slightly in mid-air with his fork.

A strange, indescribable look appeared on his expression.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Oliver's praise of Elune; Weiss also admitted that the comatose woman was indeed very beautiful.

It's purely because of the word "sacred"...

In the era of his previous life, the meaning of this word had already taken many twists and turns.

Ever since certain internet memes have repeatedly overused and distorted the word, whenever Weiss hears someone seriously say the word "sacred," the first thing that pops into his mind is not a picture of piety and reverence.

More often, it's about milk dragons and babies...

He struggled to control his increasingly sloppy thoughts and suppressed those indescribable associations.

Unfortunately, his facial expressions were a beat too slow to react.

Oliver noticed the fleeting, strange look in Weiss's eyes.

He frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, and spoke with a hint of displeasure:

"What? Do you have a different opinion on what I said, Mr. Weiss?"

Weiss looked up and met Oliver's slightly scrutinizing eyes.

Weiss shook his head, then said incoherently, "But I also think this..."

It's very sacred.

"No, your expression just now clearly showed that's not what you meant."

"Do you think I'm being too attentive?"

Oliver's tone turned serious: "Or do you think that someone like Miss Elune is someone that commoners like you can have your hands on?"

Upon hearing this, Lorne frowned.

You commoners?

He felt as if he had been dragged into this situation for no reason.

Is Oliver planning to start a fight right there at Selene's house?

Lorne's gaze swept back and forth between the two, as if he wanted to speak up to ease the tension, but in the end he didn't interrupt, only frowning deeply.

Weiss didn't seem offended at all. He picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and spoke casually.

"Alright, enough with the empty talk and fantasies. In your mind, who wouldn't want to give birth to a son for her?"

Rather, it's more accurate to say that this person didn't want to bear her a son →??
