Iris returned to the hall and arranged all the items she stole in the hall. There were some vases, bags, necklaces, purses and other things.

Mavis came over and looked at the items on the floor and asked, "Iris, where did you get all these things?"

"Stolen." Iris said in a small voice.

"Stolen??" Mavis looked at Iris in surprise.

"Sister Mavis, keep your voice down. Do you want all of people to know that I stole?" Iris made a "hush" gesture.

Looking at the ground, bags, vases, they are some fakes. According to the market price, these stolen goods are not worth much money. And it is still a question whether Li Xi will accept these things or not. It seems that her cousin will probably be forced by Li Xi to take her back to the Realm of Scarlet.

"Oops! Auntie is very nice. As long as you are obedient, auntie won't do anything to you."

"Sister Mavis, do you want me to go back so urgently? Or do you dislike me?"

"You and I are sisters of the same bloodline, why do I dislike you? But I can just save you from some flesh and blood pain."

"Flesh and blood pain??" Iris looked at Mavis in disbelief.

"Ahem...lean closer to me."

Then Iris leaned close to Mavis, "You've been here in human territory for so long. Auntie will be angry, so admit your mistakes to Auntie properly. Maybe Auntie won't punish you."

"Well! I will never go back in my life. As long as I can pay the rent, she doesn’t have any reason to let me go back! As I get older, I'll be able to pay the rent." Iris said disdainfully.

"Cousin, you're really naive!"

"Naive??"

"Whatever. When the time comes, you will naturally know the tactics of my aunt." Mavis let out a long sigh.

After Mavis left, Li Xi came out from the basement, "Dear Princess, are you short of money and talking to Mavis about borrowing money?"

"If Sister Mavis is willing to lend me money, do I still need to go to the basement with you?"

"Then Dear Princess, please hurry up and pay the rent! If you don't have money, I will force you to leave here. Please forgive my rudeness. " Li Xi said.

"There are fifteen thousand Bella in the blue crystal card. You count it carefully." Then Iris handed the blue crystal card to Li Xi.

Li Xi received the blue crystal card, then she sat on the sofa and started counting it.

Iris rummaged through her stolen wallet and counted the Bella in it. Iris prayed that there would be 10,000 Bella in these wallets.

...

"Dear Princess, are you okay? I have seen you counted several times. If you don't have enough money, please go back to Realm of Scarlet with me, Dear Majesty will be able to give you a lot of pocket money." Li Xi laughed.

"Why do you hurry up? It's not even twelve o'clock!" Iris said somewhat grumpily.

"Fine! I will be waiting for you here."

Iris counted the wallets five times. But these wallets only added up to 9999 Bella. Iris was devastated. It is difficult for a heroine to pool money ! God does not help me!!!

...

"Dear Princess! Five minutes to twelve, will you be able to pool money to pay the rent?" Li Xi slightly smiled, as if Iris to be brought back to Realm of Scarlet is already doomed to occur.

"Then ... can these things be offset a piece of Bella?" Iris asked weakly.

"No! Dear Princess, the time is almost up. You have to resign yourself to your fate!" Li Xi got up and stretched.

Under the light, there was a shiny object on the couch. Iris rushed over and found that it was a piece of Bella. In this moment, this piece of Bella is so dazzling, luminous, beautiful. Holding it in the hand there is a cold and reassuring feeling.

"Dear Princess, that is something I dropped." Li Xi said.

"What? Why can you say this piece of Bella is yours? Does it have your name on it? Did it say yes when you called out? I sit on the couch every day to meditate, so this must be something I left behind." Iris has all kinds of unregualr reasons, not giving Li Xi a chance to refute.

"But that's really my stuff."

"This is really the Bella I dropped. The day before yesterday I was missing a piece of Bella until now I can find it." Iris will never give up this piece of Bella, because this is related to her future. If Iris misses this piece of Bella, she will see Lilia, this bitch, every day. Seeing that guy, Iris feels disgusting.

Li Xi did not say a few words from the beginning to the end. Every time Li Xi says a sentence, Iris will use ten sentences to refute. In short, Iris insists that piece of Bella is her.

In the end, Li Xi couldn't argue against Iris. Fortunately, Iris could pay the rent for twenty-five thousand Bella this time.

"Next time, you definitely won't have that kind of luck." Then Li Xi left through the window as a flock of bats.

"Whew! Thanks to my resourcefulness, I was almost taken away forcibly. Next, I have to win Vilya. If I can win, I will get one hundred thousand Bella so that I can pay rent of two months." Then Iris sat down on the sofa and continued to cultivate.

...

"Police! I want to report a crime!" The man panted and ran to the Inspection Division.

"It's twelve o'clock. Is there someone reporting a crime? Tell me about it." A short-haired policeman approached.

"When my girlfriend and I were making love, a thief came to my house and stole everything from my living room and the sofa."

Another policeman with slightly longer hair came over with a cup of coffee.

"How long did you make love with your girlfriend?" The short-haired policeman asked.

"Why do you ask this question?" The man looked suspiciously at the two policemen in front of him.

"We need to speculate on the other side's moves and restore the scene of the crime to find clues." The short-haired policeman said seriously.

The man scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Less than five minutes."

The policeman with slightly longer hair yawned, as if to hide the mockery on his face.

"Hey! Did you hear what I just said clearly?" The man yelled loudly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with the attitude of these policemen.

"Listen clearly. You mean...when you made love with your girlfriend in the five minutes...not even five minutes, a thief stole everything from the living room of your house, and the sofa." The policeman with slightly longer hair repeated.

"Why are you laughing??" The man asked.

"I recalled something happy!"

"What happy thing did you recall?"

"My wife and I have a good relationship." The man with slightly longer hair said.

"??" The man had a question mark on his face, as if he felt that there was implicit meaning in the slightly longer-haired policeman's words.

"Why are you laughing too???"

"My wife and I have a good relationship too."

"Do you have the same wife??"

"Not the same. Let's get back to the point. A thief stole everything in your living room in five minutes." The short-haired man replied.

"Hmm! That's right."

"We know. We hope this gentleman will be more cooperative and we will immediately go out to investigate."

"Be quick!"

Then the man left the Inspection Division.

"Ha! Ha!" The sound of laughter came from within the Inspection Division.

The man returned to the Inspection Division once again .

"Sir, you rush to seal off the scene."

Then the man angrily slammed the door and left.

"Ha! Ha!"
