A large hall not far away is where contracts are processed.

In the center of the hall, there is a sculpture that stands alongside the concepts of Preservation and Harmony. Lin Shuang could even sense a slight force of Path emanating from the sculpture.

That's quite amazing.

"Hurry up, do you think you're on a sightseeing trip?"

Silver Wolf urged her impatiently, then grabbed Lin Shuang's hand and strode inside without another word.

The contract process is quite convenient.

Checking documents, registration, Photography, etc.

After being registered, Lin Shuang's system responded:

[Target: Silver Wolf (Corrected)]

[Affection: 66 (Feels great)]

[Relationship: Partner (Updated)]

Even if it's just a transaction, congratulations on finally having your first legally contracted intimate partner.

[Oh, because the rewards were upgraded last time as an exception, I wasn't so lucky this time.]

[Reward: One Purple Draw; Bonus reward: A pair of earrings inlaid with azure gemstones]

Lin Shuang was stunned when she saw the reward; why was it earrings this time instead of Ring?

What determines the type of this jewelry?

While wondering to herself, Lin Shuang put her hand in her pocket, pretending that she was prepared, but actually took the earring out of the system.

Then he opened his arms and showed them to the Silver Wolf.

Here, a pair of earrings, one for each of us.

"...?!"

Upon hearing Lin Shuang's words, Silver Wolf suddenly looked up and widened his eyes.

Looking into Lin Shuang's eyes, his pupils dilated violently!

What are you trying to do, kid?!

Lin Shuang was a little confused by Silver Wolf's expression.

"What's wrong?"

As she said this, Lin Shuang grabbed Silver Wolf's hand and placed an earring into her palm.

Having already experienced this once before, Lin Shuang felt that the earrings the system was giving her this time probably had some hidden effects as well.

"No... it's you..."

Silver Wolf was still in shock, so much so that he stammered for a moment.

However, soon, a staff member with shining eyes came over and explained to Silver Wolf why she was so shocked.

"I never expected that someone would be willing to exchange Azure Stone earring for a vow of love today. I will bear witness for you before the Lord of Harmony! After all, these days everyone prefers to use the Bright Yellow Stone that represents the Amber Lord."

Volume 1: Chapter 103 Silver Wolf: LOL, you chickened out?

Lin Shuang nodded slightly after hearing the staff member's introduction.

She could roughly guess what it meant: people originally believed in both the Preservation and the Harmony, but because of the company's involvement, the mainstream belief is now leaning towards the Preservation.

The younger generation, in particular, is more inclined to Preservation after being exposed to too much company information.

But as she thought about it, Lin Shuang suddenly realized what she meant.

"No, wait a minute..."

What did she just say she vowed?

Lin Shuang cautiously turned her head and glanced at the Silver Wolf.

Lin Shuang bent down and tried to whisper a few words into Silver Wolf's ear, only to see Silver Wolf immediately cover his ears, his cheeks slightly flushed, and staring at Lin Shuang with an incredulous expression.

"..."

Seeing Silver Wolf's reaction, Lin Shuang knew perfectly well that this person had misunderstood something.

He quickly whispered:

"I really didn't know! It was an accident!"

"... hehe."

An old-fashioned yet concise answer.

It perfectly expresses Silver Wolf's ridicule and condemnation of Lin Shuang's blatant attempt to cover up her culprit.

Silver Wolf glared angrily at Lin Shuang.

I don't know yet, it's still unexpected.

And then there was that earring you just happened to have prepared, and it just happened to be made of Azure Stone, a material only found here, and then you just happened to pull it out in front of the statue, right?

Silver Wolf wished he could immediately pull out Prometheus, jump up, and smash it hard on Lin Shuang's head!

My brother and I are of one heart, but you and my brother are just playing mind games, huh?

However, considering that there were outsiders present, Silver Wolf resisted the urge to crack open Lin Shuang's skull.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang quickly said to the staff member next to her who was smiling like an aunt:

"Um... could we not be here in the lobby? We'd like to be alone..."

"Of course, we have arranged a private room and a small statue. Please come this way."

With some regret, the staff led Lin Shuang and Silver Wolf to a room in the corner, where a statue of the Aeon of Harmony was located.

The staff explained that in recent years, fewer couples have been willing to come to Harmony Aeon, so there's no need to rush; they can wait until they've appeased their partner before performing the ceremony.

After saying that, the young woman left, making sure to close the door behind her, leaving the two of them alone.

Seeing that only the two of them were left, Lin Shuang coughed and showed an awkward expression.

"Um, well, how about we just go out in a bit?"

Silver Wolf, who had been blushing and thinking that she would kick this person hard if she dared to make a move, couldn't hold back after hearing these words.

"Hilarious! You went through all that trouble, only to chicken out at the last minute?"

The blush on Silver Wolf's face hadn't faded yet, but he was playing with the earring in his hand, looking Lin Shuang up and down.

To be honest, she was quite shocked that Lin Shuang would have such ill intentions towards her.

As a result, Lin Shuang's cowardly yet 'desirable' demeanor made it difficult for Silver Wolf to feel any sense of crisis.

So it really is a coincidence!

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Silver Wolf nodded repeatedly in perfunctory agreement:

"What a coincidence that you prepared earrings, and then coincidentally, you also prepared local specialties, and then coincidentally, you took them out in front of the statue."

"..."

Lin Shuang's vision went black.

This is getting complicated. Oh no! Her reputation among Stellaron Hunter is going to turn her into a scheming, womanizing playboy?

It's really not her fault; who knew the system would give her accessories that would fit into local customs...

So, you're focusing on a tradition, right?

This system doesn't even give a hint; it just likes to hide its secrets.

Seeing Lin Shuang's constipated expression, Silver Wolf's mood improved.

Clearly, the smile had moved to her face.

"Here."

Once he recovered, Silver Wolf raised his hand and held up the earring in front of Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang looked at the Silver Wolf, then at the earring, carefully picked it up, and asked:

"What are you doing...?"

Then they saw the Silver Wolf tilt its head to the side, lean towards Lin Shuang, and raise its hand to brush aside a few stray strands of hair:

"Please put this on for me. Otherwise, isn't this what you prepared?"

"... You want to wear it? I thought you were planning to just give it back to me."

Lin Shuang blinked; she thought Silver Wolf was planning to return the goods.

Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf simply rolled his eyes at Lin Shuang:

"Do you think I'm that kind of person? We play games together every day, I'll give you that much face. Hurry up."

As he spoke, Silver Wolf revealed a 'mischievous' smile and raised his hand in a gesture.

Her tilted head, combined with her high ponytail, made her fair and delicate neck very clearly visible to Lin Shuang.

Perhaps because they spend too much time indoors, they receive very little exposure to starlight.

Silver Wolf's skin was noticeably fairer than Lin Shuang's.

It was as white as porcelain, yet subtly avoided appearing sickly.

The perfect skin tone is like a meticulously designed color scheme, and the Silver Wolf is the most perfect painting.

A beautiful choker and black shoulder strap outline an alluring curve on this pristine white canvas.

Her delicate collarbones and subtly revealed shoulders radiated an alluring glow.

It makes you want to touch that fair skin.

Perhaps Lin Shuang was looking too intently, her direct gaze causing Silver Wolf's neck to turn slightly red.

"Are you coming or not?!"

"Come on! Coming right now."

Startled awake by the Silver Wolf's scolding, Lin Shuang came to her senses and reached out her hand towards the Silver Wolf's earlobe with the earring in hand.

My earlobes felt cool and were very soft.

Lin Shuang gently rubbed her fingers together, which elicited a sweet whimper from the Silver Wolf.

"Hmm... Stop fooling around..."

Silver Wolf, with his head tilted to the side, could only catch a glimpse of Lin Shuang's fair arm moving near his ear from the corner of his eye.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a delicate place as my earlobe examined and touched so closely.

Silver Wolf realized he might have overestimated his endurance.

The earlobe seemed to be more sensitive than she had imagined.

"Hurry up, Lin Shuang..."

"Sorry, this is my first time using this. It'll be ready soon."

"Um..."

Silver Wolf felt Lin Shuang's gentle touch on his ear, a tingling and itchy sensation, as if she were flirting with him.

The strange feeling made Silver Wolf's heart beat faster.

Damn it, if I call a halt again now, we'll be completely defeated!

No, I absolutely have to resist!!

Silver Wolf trembled slightly, his face flushed, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

However, Lin Shuang was preoccupied with how to put the earring on Silver Wolf and didn't notice Silver Wolf's reaction at all.
