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

Side effect: The more times the love letter is used, the more pronounced the holder's romantic tendencies will become. This effect only applies to the holder of the forbidden item and will not affect the other party.

So there was no other way; Vera, who was already quite ill, suffered even more.

She was completely lost in her sweet fantasy, automatically ignoring everything strange and incongruous.

At this moment, Vera is in bed

He was happily turning the wheelchair, not even noticing the knocks on the door.

"Vera, open the door!!!"

Vera was jolted awake by an impatient male voice coming from outside the door.

She quickly tidied her disheveled clothes and hair before stepping forward and opening the door.

"Vera..."

Standing at the door was a handsome young man with pink hair and a gentle demeanor.

He was dressed in fine clothes, had a warm expression, and possessed a stereotypical aristocratic elegance between his brows.

He was none other than the eldest son of the Hayes family, Vera's older brother.

—Nion Hayes.

The man's calm demeanor contrasted sharply with Vera's usual manic style.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Vera blinked her heart-shaped pupils and asked with some confusion, "Oh dear, I'm busy right now, what do you need me for?"

Seeing Vera's still-infatuated, lovesick face, Nyon frowned slightly and then asked, "Vera, do you have any new dresses in your room that you can wear out?"

"Hmm?" Vera tilted her head.

"There should be, right?"

Of course, formal dresses are available...

That was the new model she bought from the department store last time, using her saved royalties to grit her teeth and buy it at the store in order to attend the signing event for her new book.

Nyon stood with his hands behind his back and explained solemnly, "The Starry Night Merchant Guild has already opened a branch in Moonlit City, and will be holding an opening banquet tomorrow night... Most of the prominent nobles in Moonlit City have received invitations."

"Although we weren't invited, I still spent a lot of money to buy two spots, planning to take you out to broaden your horizons." 688

"No refusal allowed!"

Seeing Vera's impatient expression, Nyon preemptively dialed 469 to interrupt her.

The Starry Sky Merchant Guild is a super-giant that usually only sets up branches in major capitals and trading centers!

This time, it's being held in Moonlit City; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Regardless of whether the invitations were bought out of their own pockets, as long as the brother and sister attend the banquet, they can uphold the reputation of the Hayes family and prevent the people of the upper town from thinking that the Hayes are a fallen aristocracy.

In this way, there is hope for future cooperation in terms of supply sources and channels.

Thinking of this, Nyon hardened his heart: "As long as you obediently accompany me to this banquet, I will not care about you for a whole month afterward."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Vera's eyes lit up: "Okay, you mean what you say."

"No problem, but the banquet is tomorrow night. When you get to that kind of occasion, you should rein it in a bit and not act as crazy as usual."

"Yes Yes Yes."

But just then, Nyon suddenly saw the white mask by Vera's bedside and instructed again, "Also, that weird mask, you'd better take it off properly when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Vera immediately bristled and shook her head vigorously: "Hmph, that won't do. I've already promised my husband that this face can only be seen by him."

Nyon: "This is utterly baffling..."

She's not even married, so where would she get a husband?

It seems that Vera's hysteria is getting worse.

Unfortunately, he is currently too busy with his family business to properly accompany her to receive treatment, and can only wait until some time has passed before trying to find a doctor.

After a moment of contemplation, Nyon sighed and left only one sentence: "Remember tomorrow night, don't wander off."

He then turned and left.

Vera secretly breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door again.

Despite her seemingly crazy and ruthless demeanor, Vera actually harbors some fear and awe towards her older brother.

The Hayes family has declined in recent years, and its wealth and resources are far less than before.

But Nyon's eldest son, in order to maintain appearances, has been working hard to earn money and cultivate relationships.

Although on the surface, the relationship between the brother and sister can be described as cold, and they rarely talk to each other.

But in Vera's heart, she actually understood her brother's good intentions.

Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, I'll just wear colored contact lenses then."

.

On the other side of Moonlit City, in the mansion of the Wilderhes family.

Nefert led the woman in blue into her extremely luxurious and overflowing walk-in closet.

The two women compared their gorgeous gowns while chatting idly.

Neferi weighed the dress in her hand and said softly, "Auntie, I don't quite understand... why would a behemoth like the Starry Sky Merchant Guild open a branch in a godforsaken place like our Moonlit City?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in blue chuckled lightly: "You're probably here for the Moon Thunder Emperor, aren't you? Nifiel, do you really think that the Moon City and Shattered Star City area is sparsely populated simply because of its remote location?"

"That's not actually the case."

She shook her head and explained meaningfully, "This area is too close to the Dark Realm. No one can say for sure when the Dark Realm might suddenly erupt into an uprising without warning."

"All mortals fear death, and over time, the population in this area dwindled year by year."

"However, if a Tier 5 transcendent being were guarding this place, the situation would be completely different..."

That's right...

Level 5 flash!!

Even without confirmation, just a guess is enough to draw tens of thousands of powerful individuals to pursue it relentlessly.

It could even cause a complete upheaval in the extraordinary格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall structure) of the world.

This is the significance of the existence of the 5th order...

"Bright Moon Thunder Emperor?"

"In the end, isn't this just wishful thinking from Vera's 'Moon's Lament'? I don't believe it. If it were truly a Tier 5 Transcendent, how come no one has ever heard of it?"

Nefertir pursed her lips, inwardly grumbling to herself.

Just then, the woman in blue changed the subject: "Nephiel, when do you plan to return to your family home in the capital?"

"Forehead......"

"Well..."

Nefertori's hand, which was gripping the clothes hanger, stiffened almost imperceptibly.

The woman in blue then pressed on with her question:

"According to the rules of the Wilderness family, all the eldest sons and daughters of the branch families must go to the capital at the end of each year after they turn 16 to marry into one of the other major noble families—you know this."

"Oh dear, I'm still young, I haven't had enough fun yet, I don't want an arranged marriage!"

Nefertil made up a few perfunctory replies.

Her best friend Elune is now in a vegetative state and still asleep, so how could she be in the mood to return to her family for a marriage alliance?

If we were to travel to the capital, a thousand miles away, at this time, who knows when we would meet again!

Besides...

Besides their immense power, what other merits does this family have?

They wouldn't even give him a single copper coin anyway.

It's none of her business.

So, Nefert quickly changed the subject: "Auntie, compared to such trivial matters..."

She paused, leaned closer, and asked with a mixture of curiosity and worry, "What kind of disaster have you all come to Moonlit City to document? Could you tell me a little bit?"

Actually, I don't know either.

Seeing the doubt on Nefertory's face, she chuckled lightly and casually, "What, you don't believe me?"

“If we Rain Clan members could truly utter even half a word, then there would never have been a case in this world where ‘Rain Clan members were interrogated and revealed the inside story of the disaster.’”

"Unlike the extraordinary individuals in other organizations."

"The moment a Rainbow is chosen, it will know that it has been chosen, and then—it will definitely carry out that mission."

"To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a precedent of any Rain Walker disobeying their mission."

"For example, I myself cannot even entertain the slightest thought of rebellion."

"Of course, being chosen as a Rain Maiden isn't all bad; at least it means eternal youth~~~"

Hearing this, Nefertir's gaze lingered for a moment on her aunt's face, which showed no signs of aging, and she sincerely exclaimed in admiration:

"Eternal youth? That sounds pretty good."

The woman in blue smiled and touched Nefertir's hair.

A complex worry flashed in his eyes.

She wasn't lying.

Rainmakers indeed cannot predict the source of disasters.

but......

In the event of a minor disaster, at most four or five rain patrols from the vicinity will be forcibly activated and ordered to go to the source of the disaster to carry out an observation mission.

But this time, only...

Even though I was thousands of kilometers away, I was guided here by that invisible sense of mission.

In just one week, the number of Rainbringers pouring into Moonlit City has quietly approached twenty.

In all her years as a rain-seeker, this was the first time she was about to witness a horrifying sign of disaster!

The blue-haired woman lowered her eyes, her fingertips silently clenching the corner of her dress.

It seems that we must persuade Nefertie to leave the city as soon as possible.

"A catastrophe of this magnitude and scale..."

"It's no longer something that can be resisted by human effort."

"If they are only level 7 superhumans, it doesn't matter how many we send."

.

Time flies.

The following night.

As night fell, the newly built branch of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce was already bustling with activity and brightly lit.

Many nobles from the city of Brightmoon have arrived in their finest attire, including some who have purchased secondhand tickets.

For example, Nion, the eldest son of the Hayes family, came with Vera in a carriage that could hardly be called shabby.

Today, for the first time ever, Vera did not wear her bizarre white mask.

Without the mask to conceal her face, her delicate, fair complexion, like that of a doll, was exposed to everyone.

Such a stunningly beautiful and pure appearance dazzled the eyes of many nobles present.

Many of Vera's peers, who had previously dismissed her as having mad cow disease, have fallen silent.

No, she never said she looked like this before.

I should have started by talking about our families of origin...

This is a pity.
