The teleportation ring could only transport up to ten meters.

Previously, Bochang found it somewhat peculiar.

Now, everything made sense.

It required two teleportation rings to activate the teleportation feature, allowing unrestricted movement within a ten-meter radius.

This was merely a basic function attached to the rings.

With this ability, Bochang could effortlessly travel between different planets. Even if the Astral Express ventured far away, he could return to previously visited locations as easily as taking a stroll.

All he needed was to leave behind a teleportation ring at each destination.

"Should I choose the second or third option?"

After much hesitation, Bochang ultimately opted for the third—the allure of unrestricted teleportation was too enticing.

"Weren't we supposed to get married today? Let's quickly head to the wedding venue together." Holding Stelle's hand, Bochang began to run. "On such a joyous occasion, the bride must not be absent!"

[Reward being distributed - Congratulations! You have obtained the equipment: Teleportation Ring. Note: This item has been stored in the system space and requires blood binding before use.]

It was a simple yet straightforward guidance.

The Dreamscape rapidly transformed.

As Bochang and Stelle continued running hand-in-hand, their clothing gradually changed into a black suit and white wedding gown... together, they approached the wedding chapel.

Despite Stelle's slight confusion,

the two began exchanging rings amidst thunderous applause. On the podium, the officiant—revealed to be Cocolia—was reciting the ceremony script.

"Why is it Cocolia?! Seriously!"

Although unable to clearly see her face, Bochang could roughly guess who it was.

Just moments ago, Cocolia had been conversing with thin air like a madwoman within the dream. Now, she solemnly read out the officiant's words.

Since this was the Dreamscape, logic took a backseat.

Just moments ago, Bochang and Stelle were exchanging wedding rings.

In the next instant, they found themselves lying in bed on their wedding night.

Perhaps due to Stelle's limited knowledge, the entire process was completely skipped over.

And then, seemingly in another moment...

Their children were old enough to run errands.

As he heard indistinct-faced children nearby calling out "Daddy" and "Mommy," Bochang felt utterly bewildered.

Everything happened too swiftly, like watching a fast-forwarded movie with a wildly imaginative storyline... To align more closely with Stelle's Dreamscape, Bochang continued acting throughout, anticipating some options to appear.

Yet unexpectedly...

Not even a single option triggered this time.

After a while,

Once Bochang confirmed that Stelle's Dreamscape had returned to normal, no longer influenced by Stellaron, he quietly exited her Dreamscape. Initially, he planned to explore other realms, but suddenly, a wave of mental exhaustion washed over him.

Checking the clock, Bochang was surprised to find that he had spent approximately four hours within Stelle's Dreamscape.

It was now 3 A.M.

"But it felt like hardly any time passed..."

Abandoning his idea of gathering more information outside, Bochang returned to his own body.

In the next moment...

Stelle suddenly grabbed onto Bochang with her eyes closed, murmuring, "Where did you go? Don't leave... don't abandon me..." Tears glistened at the corners of her gray-haired face, indicating deep sadness.

[Dating Options activated.]

[Option 1: Pretend nothing happened and continue sleeping — Completion Reward: Big Booty from March 7th.]

[Option 2: Kiss Stelle's forehead and say, "I won't leave, I'll always be here" — Completion Reward: Gaze of the Silver Wolf.]

[Option Three: Give Stelle a Big Booty slap to wake her up—Completion Reward: Stelle's Big Booty.]

Unbelievable! This time, two out of three options involve a Big Booty slap.

"Is it possible... that future choices might consist entirely of Big Booty slaps?"

Bochang suddenly felt uneasy.

Ever since obtaining the "Love Sick Options," he had consistently prioritized rewards over actions. As long as the reward was worthwhile, even embarrassing tasks seemed acceptable.

With all three rewards now being Big Booty slaps, Bochang genuinely didn't know what to do... Perhaps choosing not to act at all could be an option.

However, the consequences of such a decision were completely uncertain.

Analyzing these current options:

As before, let's first eliminate those involving Big Booty slaps.

Although unclear why simply continuing to sleep would result in March 7th's Big Booty slap, Bochang...

He couldn't fully comprehend this issue; it likely stemmed from the system's foresight of the future.

Regarding the reward for Option Two...

This hardly feels like a reward at all.

The gaze of Silver Wolf seems similar to the previous Yandere's Gaze.

However, there is no peculiar note attached this time.

"If the reward is Silver Wolf's gaze, then... does it imply that Silver Wolf isn't currently watching us? After choosing Option Two, Silver Wolf began... so what is she doing now?"

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Bochang pondered deeply.

"Hmm... perhaps she's playing games..."

"Decided, Option Two!"

Bochang opened his eyes and looked at the gray-haired girl, who was less than half a meter away from him. She had a firm grip on him, her fingers digging deep into his flesh with intense force.

Feeling a slight pain, Bochang leaned forward, wrapped his arms around Stelle's fragrant shoulders, and gently kissed her forehead.

His soft lips pressed against her smooth, fair skin.

Savoring the unique fragrance emanating from her skin, Bochang paused briefly before gently pulling away and speaking calmly, "I won't leave; I'll always be here."

As soon as he finished, the tense Stelle quickly relaxed.

It seemed she had heard Bochang's words.

Stelle peacefully drifted back to sleep, as if nothing had happened...

However...

The gray-haired girl's hands still clung tightly to Bochang, one at his chest and the other around his waist.

[Rewards being distributed—Congratulations! You have earned the Silver Wolf's gaze. Note: For the next period of time, your every move will be observed by the Silver Wolf. Please act cautiously.]

Bochang thought to himself, "Tch... Isn't it excessive for the Silver Wolf to monitor me just because I kissed Stelle?"

After this muttered complaint, Bochang recalled past incidents involving similar situations.

"Come to think of it... when I kissed Stelle at the Herta Space Station, there were no issues whatsoever..."

Unable to figure out what had changed, Bochang decided not to dwell on it.

He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Let Silver Wolf monitor if they must; it wouldn't significantly affect Bochang anyway.

Time gradually reached 6:30 a.m.

The alarm clock woke Bochang, and as he opened his eyes alongside Stelle, he preemptively spoke before the still groggy gray-haired girl could react. "Good morning, Stelle. How did you sleep last night? Did you have any strange dreams?"

"Good morning, Bochang. Last night...I slept quite well, and...and I didn't have any strange dreams..."

As she replied...

Stelle's face slowly turned rosy, looking incredibly enticing.

For the usually expressionless, sometimes even aloof, gray-haired girl, such a demeanor was rare.

It made one want to take a playful bite.
