Chapter 60: Coming in Person
update icon Updated at 2025/2/15 0:10:13

Time is fleeting so fast, the end of this month is coming. During this period, Iris was basically practicing her sword in the basement or meditating, and she would tease her summoned beast in her spare time.

As usual, Iris' summoned beast, the White Sun, eats well and sleeps well. It doesn’t stay in the nest Iris built for it.

Only when Mavis came back at night would the White Sun leave its nest, because every time Mavis would bring all kinds of delicious food to it, while Iris could only watch from the sidelines. Mavis also said: "This is part of your contract with my aunt."

This made Iris feel that she was not Mavis's sister and that White Sun was her sister. Iris could not touch the food Mavis brought for the White Sun.

As long as Mavis was home, the White Sun would stay by Mavis's side, as if Mavis was its master and Iris was more like an outsider.

Mavis would bring delicious food to the White Sun every night. No wonder the White Sun is so close to her.

Iris was practicing the sword with lots of sweat in the basement. She picked up the towel next to wipe the sweat casually. Iris didn't understand why the second move of "Hardening", "Intermittent Rain", was so difficult to practice.

The first move "Rolling Dust" was for offense, but the second move "Intermittent Rain" was neither offensive nor defensive, which made Iris a bit confused. Iris sat on her knees, closed her eyes, and checked the matchmaker's sword swinging posture over and over again.

Iris didn’t know how long it took. It was already dark, and Iris still hadn't learned the second move.

"Ugh! Maybe the first move is an introductory one. It seems that I must spend a few months learning the second movv. Take a break first!"

Iris came to the living room with slow steps and found sister Mavis standing motionless in front of the sofa.

Iris patted Mavis's back and asked, "Sister Mavis, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing here?"

"Iris! It's been a long time!" A familiar voice came from the couch, and unfriendly memories flooded back.

"Dear Mother ...Mother. Wow, you come here today. " Iris stammered.

Lilia did not respond to Iris, but took the food and fed the little white snake. The little white snake was very well behaved. It stayed quietly on Lilia's legs eating the food Lilia gave.

"What is its name?" Lilia asked.

"White ... Sun! If Mother likes it, the White Sun will be given to you."

"Well! As the owner of the White Sun, you are not responsible for it at all." Lilia said.

"It's because Dear Mother likes it!" Iris said with a smile.

"Would you like to come with me, White Sun? This way you will have endless food to eat every day and a place to sleep that is more comfortable and warmer than here." Lilia asked gently.

The White Sun shook its head. Although the person in front of it looked similar to its master, there was still a big difference between their auras.

The White Sun understood that not only was Iris her master, but also her mother. As a child, how could she leave her mother behind?

The White Sun's tail pointed at Iris. It let out a hissing sound, as if it wanted to take Iris with it.

Lilia understood the White Sun's meaning and slowly said, "What a good child! You want to take your master with you. It is up to your master to decide whether she wants to go with me or not."

The White Sun nodded in frustration.

"You are very well-behaved and very pleasing to me. There are many snacks inside this ring. I put them at Mavis's place. If you want to eat, go to find Mavis."

"Hiss~" The White Sun shouted happily.

Lilia turned her head to look at Iris and asked, "Will you be able to pay next month's rent?"

"I'm already a middle-ranking mage. Here is the rent for six months, a total of 260,000 Bella." Then Iris handed the blue crystal card contained 260,000 Bella that she prepared beforehand to Lilia.

"Well! Your cultivation level has indeed reached the middle rank. But are you able to release middle-ranked magic?"

"Er ...I seem to be unable to do that!"

"Then you’re not considered a middle-ranking mage. So you have to hand me extra 10,000 Bella to pay for the six-month rent, otherwise you just pay for the five-month rent now."

Then Iris took out another 10,000 Bella and handed it to Lilia.

"Well! Exactly six months."

"You’re still quite good! In such a short time you can earn 270,000 Bella. Since the rent has been collected, I'm going to leave now. Bye my niece and my disobedient daughter."

Then Lilia waved her hand, a silver portal was displayed in front of her. Lilia slowly walked in with her steps.

"Goodbye, aunt!" Mavis said respectfully.

Iris, on the other hand, followed suit and shouted loudly, "Goodbye, Dear Mother."

After Lilia left, the two felt in relief slowly, "Sister Mavis, Li ... When did Dear Mother come?"

"I don't know! As soon as I came back I saw my aunt sitting on the sofa teasing your summoned beast. If you want to know when my aunt came, you can ask your summoned beast!"

"Er ...forget it. The White Sun can't talk anyway." After that, Iris took out a bag of blood from the refrigerator and slowly sucked it up, while the White Sun ate its fill and went back to sleep in its nest.

"By the way, Iris! Where did you get the 270,000 Bella?" Mavis looked at Iris curiously.

"Secret! Anyway, six months' rent has already been paid. Lilia won't be coming for the next six months!" Iris acted like she was so inscrutable.

But Mavis wanted to laugh! She thought that Iris was so stupid. She was deceived by the aunt for 270,000 Bella, but Iris thought that she was very clever.

First of all, the blood inside the refrigerator are donated by humans, and most of it is transported from other cities in White Stork. After all, there are always people who need blood transfusion to save their lives.

The price of blood is very expensive, about eight hundred to nine hundred Bella for a liter.

The villa was bought by my aunt from a fallen aristocrat. It seemed that the transaction price was only 200,000 Bella, which was already a hundred years ago.

Iris pays forty five thousand Bella every month simply just for accommodation, but Iris’s daily meals don’t cost my aunt money.

Mavis saw Iris slowly walk into the bathroom. Mavis finally couldn't hold back and covered her stomach and kept laughing.

After showering, Iris wore a black nightgown and quietly sat on the sofa and started meditating, while Mavis was lying on the big comfortable bed to rest.

It's been more than ten years since I came to the human kingdom. There's no news of the Black Knight's message. When will I revenge for my parents? I am no longer the weak and incompetent little girl. Now I have the ability to stand alone. If I had this power at that time, perhaps my parents would not have died.

Perhaps the Black Knight is already dead, because human life expectancy is limited.

Mavis sighed and slowly closed her eyes.
