After taking a bath and changing into a blue and white nightgown, Iris took slow steps back to her bedroom.

Taking a bath was able to relieve the body's fatigue, but it did not completely eliminate it. So Iris tapped her calves from time to time.

Ye Li vacated a spot for Iris and laughed: "It looks like Xiao Ya made you run for a long time! Let me give you a leg massage so than it can relieve the soreness of the legs!"

"No! It’s improper to do that! Grandma! I should give you a leg massage." Iris refused.

"Nothing! You are my granddaughter, so it is my responsibility and my duty to take good care of you." Ye Li stretched out her delicate hand and gently pressed Iris's sore calves.

At once, Iris felt the soreness in her calves gradually dissipated. She did not know what method her grandmother had used.

Under Ye Li's leg massage, Iris felt sleepy. Not long she has fallen into the sleep.

"Exactly the same as Xiao Ya when she was a child, you are not covered with the blanket while sleeping." Ye Li muttered.

Subsequently Ye Li also lay down to sleep ...

Then a dark red prism appeared from Iris and entered into Ye Li's torso.

"Three years later, your so-called grandmother will definitely die. At that time you will be the murderer of the Empress Dowager. I would like to see if your so-called mother will kill you or not."

Chaos was able to clearly sense Ye Li's physical conditions through the dark red prism and found that the organs in her body were gradually failing. At this rate of failing, she would die in three years.

It turned out that Ye Li was going to die. The result was the same, except that no one would think that Ye Li died of organ failure. At that time everyone would think that her dear granddaughter had killed Ye Li, and Iris would have to be at my mercy, otherwise her dear mother would not let her go.

Chaos smiled grimly.

"Happy New Year! Little Iris." Ye Li looked at Iris amiably.

Iris rubbed her eyes, froze and said, "Is it New Year coming?"

"This is a New Year's gift for you!" Ye Li placed an exquisite gift box in front of Iris. The gift was exquisitely wrapped, square, black and gold, tied with many colored ribbons.

Iris's eyes lit up and her sleepiness dissipated. She believed that there was definitely something good in this box. So she couldn't wait to open it in front of Ye Li, and what caught her eye were seven black rings of different shapes and a blue crystal card, which Iris didn't seem to need.

But these are from the grandmother. Iris will not show dissatisfaction.

"The blue crystal card is all the rent you gave to Xiao Ya. I have helped you to ask for it back. After all, they are the granddaughter's hard-earned money."

"These seven rings will have a miraculous effect in the critical time, and they are also usually able to ensure your safety. And these seven rings must be worn on the corresponding position of your fingers, otherwise it will not work." Ye Li said while putting the rings on the hands of Iris.

Except for the ring finger, the little finger of the right hand, and the thumb of the left hand were not worn, the rest of the seven fingers were put on the rings one by one by Ye Li.

When Iris wanted to ask why, Ye Li made a gesture to tell Iris not to ask.

"I know you have a lot of questions inside, but I can only tell you this, otherwise they will not help you!

"They??"

"You have to get their approval, so that they can be driven by you. They have a lot of abilities that you do not expect! You must love them so much."

"By the way, these black gloves are for you so that your human classmates will not know that you are wearing rings."

"Thank you, grandmother!" The black gloves were then placed in the storage space on the hand.

"Dear Grandmother, these are returned to you. They are the spoils of war seized from Sandy, well ...You would have been the owner of these items."

"You put the Scarlet Rose, some word paintings, and ornaments left, and the rest are sent to you. I can keep these items to continue my tricks. Ye Li's face showed a cruel smile on the preys.

Fortunately, Iris is Ye Li's granddaughter, otherwise she must have died on that day.

"Well... Dear Grandmother, I want that Scarlet Rose!" Iris scratched her head and laughed.

"It's a fake! Just a gimmick. Nothing more than used to seduce the greed of humans as a way to kill each other. The real Scarlet Rose was once owned by the Blood, but this rose is quite complicated to cultivate. If it is not taken good care of, it will die. Besides, Xiao Ya is Queen of the Blood, so she is busy with political affairs. How could she have spare time to cultivate such rose! Even if it is cultivated, it is just an ornamental rose. So it cannot make your cultivation reach higher levels. Spending more time on your cultivation is the most important."

"Oh!" A look of disappointment appeared on Iris's face.

"Okay! Wash up and get ready for breakfast!"

"Mm-hmm!" Iris nodded her head.

After Ye Li left, Iris looked carefully at the rings on her hand. What were "they" that Grandma meant?

"Forget it. Whatever can help me is good! Grandma will not harm me."

...

During these days of New Year, Mavis, Li Xi and Xue Youyue always took Iris around with them.

After the New Year was over, Li Xi and Xue Youyue returned to the Realm of Scarlet after saying goodbye to Ye Li.

"Let's leave too in a few days!" Mavis said.

“Okay!"

...

Time flies quickly. In a flash it was the day of parting, "Dear Grandmother, sister Mavis and I are leaving you. So you must take good care of yourself."

"My physical conditions are always good. You take this small box, and inside are my carefully selected clothes and some cultivation resources for you."

"Thank you, Dear Grandmother." Iris took the box and bowed towards Ye Li to express her gratitude.

Then Ye Li silently recited an incantation and a silver door appeared in front of the two.

"Be careful! Never reveal your identity of the blood race. If you are detected by humans, come back earlier!" Ye Li commanded.

"I know!" The two said in unison.

"See you later, Dear Grandmother!"

Ye Li nodded and watched the two granddaughters walk into the portal.

In the blink of an eye, Iris and Mavis returned to the villa, "Spatial magic works so well. In the future, I can go anywhere as I wish, so that it will save a lot of time."

"Ha Ha Ha!" Mavis laughed, and knocked Iris's head slightly.

"Ouch!"

"Sister Mavis, why are you knocking my head again?" Iris looked at Mavis with dissatisfaction.

"Because I need to teach you a good lesson! Not only do you behave carelessly listening in class, but also you ignore what I say. Spatial magic will exhaust lots of magic power, especially teleportation! Spatial nucleus is previously placed on the location of the teleportation, otherwise it is impossible to teleport over. As a sister, I must teach you some magic knowledge."

An unkind smile appeared on Mavis's face.

Iris swallowed, obviously knowing what Mavis would do to her.
