"Iris! Iris!"

"Huh? Sister Mavis you're back! I was just a little lost in thought."

Mavis patted the snow on Iris, and then urged Iris to enter the house.

"Here's the delicious food you wanted!" Mavis then set the barbecue on the table. The White Sun in the bedroom came running out when it smelled the aroma, quickly grabbing a good seat and preparing to have meals.

"I'm not hungry! You and White Sun can eat!" Iris said with no expression. After that, she walked into the basement.

Before Mavis could react! Iris disappeared in the living room.

"Eh? What's wrong with Iris? In the past, she always wanted to sneak to take two skewers of barbecue.Why did she lose any interest today?" Mavis felt puzzled.

"Hiss~Hiss~"

"Iris, since you don't want to eat, let's both eat! I have kept my promise anyway." Mavis then picked off all the meat on the bamboo sticks before feeding it to White Sun.

Inside the basement, Iris quietly felt the magic power inside her body, and the black and red liquid inside the Consciousness Space was constantly being sucked by the unflamed flower that was not in full bloom.

The black and red flame in the hand began to bloom.

“Fire ..."

Before Iris had finished reciting the incantation, the flame flew out suddenly! Its power is just a little bit stronger than the third level of Inferno Dance.

"Ugh! The one hundred and thirty-seventh release failed!" Iris sighed helplessly, without any expression on her face, as if this failure was expected.

Iris could not control herself at all, and every release was uncontrollable. Iris closed her eyes and carefully felt the flame flower within the Consciousness Space.

The flame flower seemed to show signs of blooming when Iris released the intermediate-ranking magic. But after the failure, the flame flower returned to its original appearance.

Could it be that the magic power was not enough? It shouldn't be. Iris is the Princess of the Blood, so the reserve of magic power is much higher than that of ordinary humans.

Is it not enough to use magic power at once? Or ... forget it, let me try again. If I really can't succeed this time, I will go to practice swordplay.

Iris took a deep breath. Then she motivated physical magic power, and the flame flower in the within Consciousness Space began to absorb the black-red liquid, as if the flame flower was Iris, and the black-red liquid was the magic power.

Gradually the flame flower began to gradually bloom!

"Dawn fire! Nuclear Fusion!" Iris shouted loudly!

A flame like a fierce beast emitted, and the flame turned the target of the basement into ashes! The walls were as black as they could be. Fortunately, the walls of the basement were transformed by Mavis with polar crystals, otherwise Iris did not know what would have happened.

The polar crystal is very precious, and has the effect of absorbing magic residue. It is difficult to be destroyed by magic, but the polar crystal also has a disadvantage. That is, it is very easy to be broken by physical methods.

"Is it the intermediate-ranked magic? So strong! It's much stronger than the third-order Inferno Dance."

At this moment, Iris can clearly feel that the flame within the Consciousness Space has bloomed a third. It seems that only when Iris masters the intermediate-ranked level three magic, the flame flower will be able to bloom completely.

The flame flower fully blooming should look very beautiful!

Half a month had passed quickly. In addition to eating and drinking, Iris was practicing in the basement, while Chaos was teaching Iris how to practice.

With Chaos' teaching, Iris has made greater breakthrough in cultivation. In just fifteen days, Iris's cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds. Now Iris has already been an intermediate level two mage, and is also able to skillfully use the level two Fire.

The Chaos's cultivation method can be described as unprecedented. It is estimated that this method is only applicable to Iris, and others may die.

First of all, Iris handed over the control of her body to Chaos. When Chaos got the body authority, he used the fearful black flames to cover the surroundings of her torso.

Chaos then gave back control of the body to Iris! Iris sat in the black flames, suffering the burning pain while meditating. Sometimes there would be an inexplicable burning sensation in Iris's internal organs, which would become more and more intense as the time spent meditating.

Whenever Iris wanted to give up, Chaos would always say something useless in her mind. In fact, Chaos just stimulated Iris with Lilia.

Thanks to Chaos, Iris might not have been able to continue.

Although the speed of cultivation within the black flames is fast, Iris's body will also be burned by the black flames! While Iris slept, Chaos repaired Iris's burns!

Sometimes Iris felt that Chaos was good! Without Chaos, she would have starved to death in Aghasas or been stabbed to death, or maybe she would have been thrown into the gutter.

In the past half month, Iris and Chaos have eased their relationship a lot, and also learned some things about their childhood. Whenever these things are mentioned, Chaos can't help but laugh at Iris, such as stealing things by herself and being found unable to climb over the wall and so on ...

"Sister! Where are you going?" Iris looked at Mavis packing up her things and seemed to be leaving the place.

"Of course I'm going back for the New Year! There are still seven days until the New Year! Iris, are you coming home with me?" Mavis said while folding the clothes in her hands.

"No, I can't! It's good to spend the New Year alone." There was no expectation and retention in Iris' eyes.

"You don't want to stay with me either? Maybe I will stay with you!" Mavis laughed.

"Forget it! If Lilia told you to go back, I can’t control this matter." Iris helplessly spread out her hands. After all, either her or Mavis does not dare to disobey Lilia.

"Huh!" Mavis laughed helplessly.

"Do not call my aunt's name. You are a descendant. Your behavior belongs to disrespect and you will be punished."

"Shit! She's not here now." Iris said disdainfully, as if there was some way to beat Lilia up violently.

"Oh! It's not good for you to do that! I hope when you can see my aunt, you are still confident." Mavis smiled brightly.

"Sister Mavis, can you help me bring the White Sun back, so that it can take me back and eat some nutritious food by the way."

"Ask the White Sun if it is willing to do so. It is your summoned beast." Mavis said.

"White Sun!" Iris called out.

"Hiss~" The White Sun revealed its white head and looked at Iris with a crooked head.

"Go back with sister Mavis! This way you can can eat a lot of delicious food."

"Hiss~ hiss~" the White Sun spatted out its tongue, trying to get its master to go with it.

"Well ...I can't go back with you for now. I don't have much food to feed you here! I can't even afford to take care of three meals for you! The food in the storage space is all eaten up by you. Remember the woman who fed you last time? The one who looks like me!"

White Sun nodded obediently, indicating that it remembered.

Iris caressed the little head of the White Sun and said quietly, "If you are cute to her, you might be given a lot of things again. Then you can get more food, and can reduce my financial burden."

After Iris analyzed the various pros and cons for White Sun, White Sun nodded.

For White Sun, Iris was not only its master, but also its mother! White Sun was naturally willing to reduce the economic pressure for her mother.

"The White Sun agreed to go with sister Mavis!" Iris said.

Mavis nodded gently and smoothly untied the scarf around her neck. The White Sun then climbed up to Mavis' fair neck and looked at Iris fondly.

Mavis then wrapped the scarf along the torso of the White Sun again, only allowing it to reveal a round and smooth little head.

"Iris, I'm leaving."

"Fly slowly, don't freeze the White Sun."

"Hiss~" The White Sun spatted out its tongue, and seemed to say goodbye to Iris.

Then Mavis opened her blood wings and flew off in the direction of the Scarlet Domain.

Iris watched Mavis and the White Sun leave until they disappeared.
