"Don't cry, Iris! I will buy you something delicious, okay?" Mavis said soothingly.

"Really?" Iris looked at Mavis innocently.

"Yes! I don’t tell a lie." Mavis stressed.

"Aren't you afraid you'll get in trouble from her? If you do that, you will be punished." Iris looked like she cared for her sister.

"You don't have to worry about it! If I am found out by my aunt, I can only admit it!" Mavis smiled. She seems to be full of confidence. Then Mavis put on her thick clothes and went to the street to buy food.

After seeing Mavis leave, Iris wiped her tears away with her sleeve and turned to a look of utter calm.

In fact, Iris has long accepted her current appearance. Everything she just did was just to learn about Lilia's strength from sister Mavis.

To Iris's surprise, sister Mavis could not last more than two moves in Lilia's hands! It can be imagined how strong Lilia's strength really is. To kill Lilia head-on is absolutely impossible. Iris can only engage in some sneak attack, such as making her take the strong poison or those chronic death drugs.

Thinking carefully, Iris remembers that there is a disciplinary mark on her back. If Lilia uses the discipline mark to know what is in her mind, and then charges her a murder against the queen, Iris is directly finished.

"I'll leave it to fate!" Iris lies on the sofa and closes her scarlet eyes.

...

"Blood brat! You’re so desperate! Facing your so-called mother, you can only be a good baby!"

"So what! At least you don’t worry about food or drink!"

"Oh! You've already experienced school life, so why don't you go back to your mother? Live what you call a life. In that way, you don’t have to pay for the forty-five thousand Bella of rent each month. And the food will no longer be simple bags of blood, but perhaps delicious food made of blood, and tea, which will better satisfy your appetite." Chaos told Iris about the benefits of returning to Lilia.

Iris was silent for a moment, She knew she would gain a lot of benefits by returning to Lilia! But she hated Lilia! She hated her disgusting appearance! She hated her hypocrisy.

"You don’t need to care about me!"

"Huh! You actually still want to kill your so-called mother, don't you? Or to never live under Lilia's control, right?" Chaos asked.

"Exactly! But what can be done about it? Even you can't defeat Lilia, let alone kill her! I still have that guy's discipline mark on my back that uses her blood! With this thing, she'll be able to find me no matter where I run to." Iris said calmly. She seemed to have foreseen her future fate.

There was no way Lilia would let Iris stay here for long. This so-called contract is not a contract at all, in which Lilia occupies a lot of favorable places. For example, Iris must not be discovered by the same kind of identity. As long as Lilia is willing, she will call a fellow blood race to come here, and then with a little bit of cooperation with sister Mavis, Iris will have to return to the scarlet domain.

"That's just what you think in your mind! Find the key and lock you can get rid of Lilia. Even if you have that so-called discipline mark on your back, she can not find you." Chaos’s voice was extremely seductive.

Iris flipped over and said slowly, "That's easy for you to say it! Where are the lock and key?"

"When you are strong, you will naturally meet the lock and key!"

"Such hypocritical words again! I want the key and the lock now! Then I can be free from Lilia's control soon!"

"Hey!" Chaos's laughter seemed to mock at Iris's ignorance.

"Even if you hate Lilia a lot, there's a lot to learn from her, like the art of empire! You can obtain the cultivation resources from Lilia's side that countless people can only dream of. Isn't such a thing that you can be able to obtain? Even if you can obtain the cultivation resources that you normally need, how can you guarantee the quality of the resources? The magic books here in humans are definitely not more comprehensive than in the blood race. You only think about how to obtain the lock and key! Even if I tell you the truth, on what basis do you obtain their approval? With your intermediate-ranking mage cultivation?"

"But there is you ..."

Chaos interrupted Iris ruthlessly, "Iris is Iris. Chaos is Chaos. I don't have a physical body now. Even if you give me your body and I help you obtain the key and lock, will your body withstand them?"

Iris was momentarily speechless by Chaos. She didn’t expected that she would be educated by Chaos.

"It is enough for you to play in the human world! Enhancing your cultivation is the most important."

"Got it! After two more years, I will come back to the Scarlet Domain! I don't want to see Lilia now."

Chaos then stopped talking to Iris. He trusted that Iris would be able to weigh the pros and cons and choose the right answer.

After talking to Chaos, Iris pondered over Chaos' words. When she thought about it carefully, she thought that Chaos was right! Resources! Books! These things are indispensable for cultivation.

The resource for enhancing personal cultivation is not far more enough for Iris in the human world. Although Tiandu Magic Academy would hold various magic competitions, and the top three would receive generous training resources, these would not belong to her. And she would not have the strength to compete with other students.

The second factor is the financial power. Even if the level of noble children is not the top, they have good parents. Even if they are scum by nature, they can enhance their cultivation level and make greater breakthrough relying on those precious resources. After reaching a certain level, these people will also compete with other students. They will not give up these resources and send them to the ordinary students who enter Tiandu Magic Academy.

This kind of competition is not only able to enhance the experience of these people, but also to show off their family' repute. After all, Tiandu Magic Academy has a ranking list, on which only the names of the top ten students, the number of fights and the winning percentage will be recorded.

Often the top ten students are from noble families. Ordinary students are not qualified to be on the list. Even if there are talented guys among ordinary students, they will be poached by the nobility! After all, the noble family is always able to offer something that you can hardly refuse. If you can serve me and I give you the resources you want, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

After you reach adulthood, you can marry a noble girl from the other noble family so that you are a member of this noble family.

Iris was a little nostalgic for the old days in Aghasas. Although she was always hungry and hard to eat full, she would be in a good mood. At that time, she didn't have to see Lilia, didn't have to be called the last one, and didn't have to worry about her cultivation. It is enough for her to be able to get a piece of delicious bread every day.

Iris slowly got up, wearing a thin skirt to stand in the doorway. Her mouth constantly spitted white air. She was feeling the baptism of ice and snow.

If she didn’t become Iris, she thought she was still wrapped in a ragged quilt in the wooden house shivering.

Snow is beautiful, but also cruel. Iris doesn’t know how many orphans like her will freeze to death in this year's snow. Perhaps they have been buried by the snow. No one remembers what they look like. Only next spring, when the snow and ice melt, their bodies will be cleaned up and thrown into the furnace to incinerate. Or perhaps they will be taken away by people from illegal hospitals to take out their useful organs, or perhaps brought to the Institute by people in white suits and masks to carry out experiments unknown to the public.
