Chapter 117: The Second Step to Tame Your Niece
update icon Updated at 2025/4/13 4:10:12

Iris practiced and found that her aunt was not in the pavilion anymore. She deliberately changed a few sword moves and turned around, and found that her aunt had disappeared.

So Iris threw her sword onto the grass and leaned against the marble to rest, cursing Liran Day in her heart: "Two thousand times per move? Every swing of the sword doesn’t take too much effort. Holy shit, does she want to train me to death, not to treat me as a human being at all?"

The sun shone warmly on the body, making people unconsciously more sleepy. Besides, Iris did not have a good rest in the secret realm. In the warm afternoon, Iris leaned against the marble and fell asleep.

Time passed quickly, the sun was setting, and the moon was rising. Iris woke up due to the constant "rumbling" of her stomach.

"I'm so hungry! I don't know if there will be a big dinner to eat at night."

"Oh no! I have been sleeping for so long and I am not sweating at all. It's not like I have been practicing for a long time."

Iris ran to the creek and wet her upper body with water. She then returned to the original place and picked up the long sword on the ground and continued to wield it.

Each swing of the sword is very casual, like a five-year-old child wielding a wooden stick and waving it around casually.

About half an hour later, Liran Day came over and looked at Iris covered in sweat and was very satisfied.

Iris' sword swinging posture was very casual, which Liran Day could understand. At first she was almost like this, the later the physical strength will not be able to keep up. She often appears to swing the sword casually. If at the end, every posture is very standard, and the probability is that this guy is lazy and finally performing her very hard.

"Pack up and get ready for the evening meal." Liran Day walked towards Iris and said.

So Iris finished today’s practice after she waved the last sword. Then she put the sword into the storage space and said happily: "Aunt, what's for dinner tonight?"

Liran Day did not answer, but put her hand inside Iris' shirt and sniffed it.

"What are you doing, aunt?" Iris looked at her aunt in confusion.

Liran Day always has the indifferent expression. So Iris couldn't guess what was going on in her mind by her expression.

"You fill up the water tank with water buckets." Iris pointed to the water tank on the right side of the pavilion.

Iris was a bit baffled and didn't understand what her aunt meant. So she asked, "Why fill the water tank with a bucket?"

Liran Day crossed her hands and did not answer.

Iris sighed. Not only did her aunt talk little, but she also did not tell herself what she wanted to do. So Iris had to pick up the bucket and started to fill the water tank. She thought that she can eat the meal after filling the water tank to half full.

Iris moved quickly and it took ten minutes to fill the tank to half full.

"You stand inside!" Liran Day's tone was cold to the core.

"Oh!" Iris stood in the tank without even thinking about it.

Liran Day took a step towards Iris, looked at the half-filled tank of water, and then looked at Iris.

"Kneel down!"

"Huh??" Iris was greatly confused at this moment. Why make her pick the water to fill the tank, then make her stand in it, and now make her kneel in the tank? What is her aunt trying to do here?

"Kneel down! "Liran Day's tone is cold to the extreme, and the water inside the tank has a little ice.

When Iris saw the situation, she directly kneeled down in the water tank. After all, if her aunt was angry, her mother may not let go of her.

Liran Day put her one hand on the water tank. As soon as she touched the water tank, the water inside the tank all frozen, except for the head Iris all frozen in the water tank.

"Aunt, what are you doing? I didn't make a mistake. I didn't make you angry. Why are you doing this to me?"

"Think of what you have done! " Liran Day left these words, turned around and left.

"Aunt, Aunt! I was wrong, I promise that next time I will never be lazy and I will practice my sword properly." Iris' voice was loud.

Liran Day pretended not to hear. No matter how her niece called, Liran Day ignored.

If you have made mistakes, you must accept the punishments. If Liran Day doesn’t punish Iris for her mistakes, Iris'll probably try to get by next time.

"I didn't expect you are first embraced by my sister but your ways for practicing the sword is the same as what my sister did when she was a child. But the punishment of the two is different. My sister was kneeling in a water tank overnight, but niece in a kneeling position was frozen in the water tank. Although the sister does not love swordplay, her magic attainment is the strongest of the three, even Brother Lizzy also fell behind her." Liran Day took a long sigh: "If your magic attainment is the same as my sister’s as a child, perhaps your punishment will be reduced. Your magic attainment is not comparable to my sister's as a child, and your swordplay is so poor. Besides, you're still thinking about being lazy, so you must accept punishment."

"Liran Day, why didn't Iris come to eat?" Lilia looked at her sister.

"Niece doesn't have to eat tonight." Liran Day's tone remained cold, even if the other party was her younger sister.

"Why?" Lilia asked, puzzled.

"Just like when you were a child, she likes to pretend to sweat with the stream." Liran Day said while pouring the wine.

"It's all about childhood. Why do you mention to it again?" Lilia laughed.

"Iris is exactly the same as you, but she doesn’t inherit your strengths. Instead, she has inherited your weaknesses. At least your magic attainment is the best in your generation, but Iris is the opposite. I guess Iris should be the bottom of the class."

"After all, she is my first embrace and comes here. Slowly teach her!" Lilia took a mouthful of food, and slowly said.

"I don't know why you choose Iris, sister. Why should you give her the first embrace? So many days together, I think Iris is a very lazy, and naughty child, not a little as the future heir of self-knowledge."

"Liran Day, you do not understand. Iris has a special ability. Her flame can ignore any defense. When I fought with her first time, her flame could pass through my defensive magic to cause damage to me. But at that moment, she was too weak, a child who could not use magic. If you let her cultivate for a decade, will you still think she is weak? Perhaps many of our blood generals would have died at the hands of Iris. I don't think Iris's magic talent is worse than mine. She has only been in contact with magic for less than a year and she is already a high-level mage. I have not guided her in her training. According to Mavis, Iris had succeeded in summoning the 'Shape' for the first time, but I remember that it took you two weeks to find the 'Shape'." Lilia said.

“Well! But Iris's sneaky look is really disgusting."

"I will teach her well. There is always a way to make her become good." The corner of Lilia's mouth showed an intriguing smile.

After dinner, Lilia asked, "Do you want to send some food to Iris?"

"No! She's more naughty than you were as a child!" Liran Day rejected her sister's offer outright.

"When I was punished by Dear Mother, you all would send food to me, so isn't it a little too harsh on Iris?"

"Do you really think Dear Mother doesn't know that my elder brother and I send you food, but she just ignored it."

Lilia: "..."
