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

After figuring it out, Weiss slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, temporarily putting his mind at ease.

"..."

"..."

"Hehehe, as expected, my husband still cares about me~~~"

"I knew I was overthinking it!"

Vera was overjoyed to have confirmed that Vis was not the Moon Emperor.

The doubts that had lingered for days vanished in an instant. She excitedly patted Weiss on the shoulder, leaving Weiss speechless: "Miss Vera, could you please go a little easier on me?"

Weiss's lips twitched slightly.

Is Vera really that happy to know she isn't the Empress of the Moon?

Although Weiss didn't want to be targeted by Vera, her attitude was still somewhat hurtful...

The little pearls are about to fall.

Vera quickly decided to retreat, turning around with her long, pink, curly hair tossing as she directed Luya, who was waiting nearby, "Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner outside."

She couldn't hide her good mood in her words: "You can choose any of the star-rated restaurants in the Upper City area. It's on me today!"

Luya belatedly followed, and was speechless for a moment.

She genuinely didn't quite understand it.

Vera's legendary husband simply responded with a question mark.

It was just a question mark, yet it made her so happy that she posted a C?

Is this a real husband, or just a fangirl?

Doesn't she know that the emotion furthest from understanding is longing?

After Vera and her companion left, the Selenes mansion returned to its peaceful state.

Aunt Bai asked with great interest, "Weiss, what kind of creature do you think the person on the other end of Vera's love letter is?"

Weiss casually replied, "I don't know, maybe it's a woman."

Aunt Bai: "???"

As soon as he finished speaking, Weiss walked up the stairs under Aunt Bai's surprised gaze.

After returning to the bedroom on the second floor.

He first glanced at Elune, who seemed to be fast asleep, then bent down to examine the forbidden love letter.

There is indeed a huge question mark on it.

Weiss already understood.

So... it really was Elune who heard the noise downstairs and got the idea to play around, right?

Weiss couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Elune, I didn't expect you to be interested in toying with Vera."

I'm not playing games...

This is so much fun! I can actually write with my thoughts every day. It's so much more convenient than that My Little Pony game!

I'll use this to chat with Vera every day from now on.

Although Elune hasn't given Weiss any hints these past few days.

But she had actually read Vera's recent thoughts long ago through her lunar powers.

However, since she was in a vegetative state, there was nothing that could be done to help her, even if one wanted to.

However, the moment Vera stepped into the mansion today and saw the verification method that she had racked her brains to come up with, Elune knew that it was time for her to shine.

With that in mind, she immediately activated the crystal shoe.

The princess has arrived! Everyone get out of the way!!

Elune released a herd of rainbow ponies, letting them stroll gracefully around the bedroom.

Weiss's expression faltered slightly.

In most cases, Elune won't use the crystal slipper to cause trouble; usually, it means she has something important to discuss with me.

So Weiss immediately pulled out the character notebook he usually used to communicate with her, and took out paper and pen, and began to painstakingly talk to Elune.

The process remains as difficult and complicated as ever.

Fortunately, their teamwork was already quite good, and they no longer needed 10 seconds to confirm the pause between each character.

If you're in good form, it can be done in less than 3 seconds.

After that, with Weiss confirming and recording each message one by one, he saw Elune's words in just half an hour.

Confiscated, you're not allowed to look.

Upon seeing those six words, Weston immediately felt a little guilty: "Uh, okay..."

Although the cause and effect are quite complicated, and the matter of the Moon Emperor is really inexplicable, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for Elune's husband to carry a love letter that allows him to communicate with other women.

Since Elune is bored and wants to have some fun with the love letters, let her have them.

This way, I won't have to deal with Vera...

After pondering for a moment, Weiss carefully wiped and washed the love letter, then gently tucked it into the pocket of Elune's nightgown.

The mansion enjoyed a rare few days of peace and quiet in the following days.

Vera was perhaps engrossed in love letters, and surprisingly, she didn't come to visit for several days in a row.

The time for the Tier 7 Storm Potion to be delivered to Moonlit City is drawing ever closer.

...

Inside the city of Brightmoon, in one of the most upscale and popular noble bars.

Bathed in the warm golden light of the chandelier, Xingzhong Jiuke sat alone in a corner booth, draped in a luxurious golden robe, slowly swirling the wine in his glass.

Looking out at the night sky, his expression was slightly languid.

Rather than admiring the night view...

His gaze was more like that of someone observing the frail and vulnerable lives of various ants in a small town.

Just then, a detached voice rang out: "Boss, mix me your sweetest red wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired man in a snow-white uniform walked straight over and sat down openly opposite the Ninth Quarter.

The two exchanged a glance, both expressionless.

They were clearly able to hold their nerve.

A few seconds later, it was Ninth Quart who couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up first: "Are you here to spy on me?"

"Don't be so arrogant, it was just a chance encounter."

The Snow Knight remained expressionless.

Then, he spoke sarcastically in a detached tone: "Speaking of which, the Thunder Emperor of the Moon really didn't take the Star Bell seriously. You just swaggered around the city for several days, and as a result... not a single ripple was stirred up."

Hearing this, Ninth Mo was not angry. While leisurely drinking, he sighed as if mocking himself, "Hehe, in this world, you and I simply cannot understand the way a fifth-order being behaves, can we?"

"Whether it's you, me, or even Star Clock and Night Watch, we're all insignificant to him..."

"The only emotion that Moonlight Thunder Emperor can evoke in us is probably pity, isn't it?"

The Snow Knight's expression gradually turned cold.

At the ninth moment, he shrugged and quickly changed his tune, admitting defeat: "Oh, never mind."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense..."

The Snow Knight was too lazy to listen to his rambling anymore.

“I heard that because of your mistake, that guy from the Selenenis family smuggled more than a dozen bottles of Tier 7 potions from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, and now they’ve all been exchanged for Tier 7 Storm Potions at the Night Patrol Headquarters.”

"What, the dignified Ninth Hour of the Star Clock, completely outmaneuvered by an ordinary person, are you just going to swallow this insult? Aren't you planning to cause trouble for Serenenis?"

At the ninth moment, he said casually, "Snow Knight, if you're here to guard against me, then you can rest assured."

"Since I have come to Moonlit City openly and honestly, I will absolutely not make a move against the Serenenis family. The Moonlit Thunder Emperor is most likely connected with the Serenenis family in some way."

"A single move can affect the whole situation. No matter how arrogant we Star Bell are, we can't keep provoking beings of the 5th order."

"hehe......"

The Snow Knight sneered, clearly not believing the other party's story.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, the ninth person added, "Moreover—"

"Let's not even talk about whether that guy can digest all those potions he hoarded at his current level. In terms of wealth alone, a mere dozen or so bottles of Rank 7 potions are nothing to the Starry Sky Merchant Guild. It's not as devastating as you imagine."

Just then, the bartender brought over a bottle of wine and placed it in front of the Snow Knight.

The Snow Knight did not accept it immediately; his expression suddenly hardened, and even the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to freeze slightly.

His expression immediately became complicated, and he lowered his voice slightly: "That person from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild...?"

At the ninth moment, he nodded meaningfully.

"As far as I know, the pharmacist that the Starry Sky Merchant Guild has spent ten years cultivating has advanced."

"He has now reached the 7th rank—the second 7th rank alchemist in the world."

"It won't be long before the price of Tier 7 potions starts to drop slightly."

After a moment of silence.

The snow knight, feeling both relieved and deeply moved, sighed:

"No wonder the Starry Sky Merchant Guild has been dumping off a large quantity of Tier 8 potions recently, and even sold a lot of the Tier 7 potions they consider treasures."

More importantly, the Night Patrol Headquarters has become much more lenient in its attitude towards the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

The root of the problem lies with the 7th-tier transcendent being in the pharmacist sequence...

If such a thing were to actually exist, then the 7th-tier potion would certainly not be as exorbitantly priced as it once was.

Of course, the existence of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce will also become an even greater hidden danger...

The two drank one glass of wine after another until night fell.

Just as he was about to leave at the ninth hour, the Snow Knight finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind:

"What exactly happened in the underworld? This whole mess was orchestrated by your Star Bell team. You should know at least a little bit of the inside story, right?"

Upon hearing this question, the previously calm and composed expression on Ninth Mo's face clearly underwent a subtle change.

However, he quickly composed himself and put on his smiling face again:

"Snow Knight, are you... interrogating me?"

The Snow Knight chuckled lightly: "Never mind, forget I asked. With your Star Bell's meager strength, you're not qualified to turn the Black Realm upside down."

Upon hearing this, Ninth Mo still maintained a smiling expression.

However, there was a hint of hidden annoyance in his eyes.

"We can accept indifference at the level of the Moon Goddess."

"But Snow Knight, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said..."

"As one of the seven direct guards of the Night Patrol, don't you know that it was we, the Star Clock, who reversed the timeline of the past to save the world from disaster?"

"..."

"..."

"That's just your wishful thinking; nobody actually knows."

Watching the departing figure of the Ninth Knight, who had turned and left, the Snow Knight was utterly speechless.

If he remembers correctly.

There don't seem to be any hysterical or delusional superhumans in the Star Clock series, do you?

...

More than ten days have passed since the Snow Knight was ordered to guard Moonlit City.
