In the sunshine of March, the sunlight shone through the window and into the house. Gentle breeze entered the room, stirring the cups and plates on the table. The tea water rippled slightly, and the scent of tea lingered in the air.

On the table was a pot of fragrant Bi Luo Chun tea, a plate of marinated jellyfish strips, a dish of marinated kelp, and a few simple and portable side dishes.

Shi Zhi and Night White entered the teahouse.

The waiter in the shop approached and asked, "What would you like?"

"We're looking for Qizhou," Shi Zhi said in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Qizhou is on the top floor." The waiter led the two to the teahouse's room and then slowly left.

"Shi Zhi, Wang, you're here." Qizhou said while pouring tea.

"Yes," Shi Zhi nodded.

Demons can sense each other's presence, so Qizhou knew they had arrived only when he sensed Shi Zhi's presence. Therefore, he prepared in advance to entertain them in the teahouse.

Due to Night White's diluted demon bloodline, he can only sense Qizhou's presence when he steps into the teahouse.

The three sat at the table, and Qizhou asked Shi Zhi, "What happened to your voice?"

"It was injured by Ji Lu Leng, but it's not a big deal." Shi Zhi replied.

"Ji Lu Leng! She has reincarnated so quickly!" Qizhou frowned. Ji Lu Leng is the second-ranked wisdom angel in the angel hierarchy. Although she is not powerful, her wisdom is unparalleled, making her a formidable opponent and the most mysterious existence among angels.

"Except for His Majesty, you and me, the remaining eighteen demons have all reincarnated, but they don't have their previous memories, just like the angels." Shi Zhi said calmly.

"I see!"

"This is for you, Your Majesty." Qizhou took out a blood bag and handed it to Night White.

Night White took the blood bag and drank from it after opening it.

The blood inside the bag was very pure, without any impurities.

"It's delicious!" Night White exclaimed.

"Then drink more!" Qizhou said with a smiling face.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans next?" Qizhou asked, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Night White pondered for a moment and replied, "First, restore the physical bodies of the demon soldiers in the Underworld Prison and let them regain their combat power. Then, we will rebuild a demon kingdom."

"To restore their physical bodies, we need a large amount of magical resources. Although some soldiers in the Underworld Prison have already acquired physical bodies, they are still not suitable for combat. After all, they are too weak." Qizhou frowned and worried.

"Weak? I think they're fine." Night White asked in confusion.

Qizhou thought carefully and explained, "Although they have restored their physical bodies, it doesn't mean they have outstanding combat abilities. After all, they can only wield cold weapons and cannot use magic or techniques. That's why I say they are weak. If they go to the battlefield like this, it would be nothing but sending them to their deaths. Our opponents are not only angels."

Shi Zhi nodded on the side.

While drinking blood, Night White contemplated where to obtain such a large amount of magical resources.

Qizhou sensed Night White's thoughts and said, "The secret realm will open in mid-March. We can first use the resources in the secret realm to restore a batch of demon soldiers. Then, we will attack other countries and obtain magical resources from them. This way, our demon soldiers will continuously regain their combat effectiveness."

Hearing Qizhou's plan, Night White nodded in agreement.

"Qizhou, you have a place to rest here. His Majesty and I have traveled a long way to get here. I believe His Majesty is also tired. Can you arrange a room for him to rest?" Shi Zhi said.

"No problem. Your Majesty and Shi Zhi, please follow me." Qizhou said and got up, leading the two to his residence.

Qizhou's mansion was large, and the surroundings were decorated with flowers, plants, pavilions, towers, gardens, and lakes. It was a beautifully scenic place.

Qizhou's mansion was very clean, but there were no signs of servants tidying up the courtyard or trimming the trees. Could it be that Qizhou did everything alone?

"Your Majesty, you and Shi Zhi have come a long way. Rest for a while first and then deal with other matters." Qizhou smiled.

"Yes!" Night White nodded."I still have some matters to attend to. My subordinates will take you to the bathroom and arrange for your rest. I will leave first," Qi Zhou said, then walked out.

"What could Qi Zhou be busy with?" Shi Zhi asked with some confusion.

"Qi Zhou is the national tutor of the Sun and Moon Empire, of course, he has official duties to handle. Moreover, the king of the Sun and Moon Empire has long been overshadowed by Qi Zhou, having the name but not the power. Naturally, all the affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire are handled by Qi Zhou," Night White explained.

"Oh! I see. Qi Zhou is indeed an exemplary person," Shi Zhi mused, holding his chin.

Then, a brightly polished skeleton appeared out of nowhere and bowed respectfully to Shi Zhi and Night White, "Your Majesty, Lord Shi Zhi, please follow me."

"Why is there a skeleton!!!" Night White was startled by this sudden appearance of a skeleton.

"Um... it's Qi Zhou's sequence magic," Shi Zhi explained.

The skeleton soldier awkwardly touched its polished skull, making a "creak creak" sound. The blue ghost fire in its eyes continued to flicker, seemingly contemplating whether to find a hole to hide in.

The two followed the skeleton to the bathroom. The bathroom was built with hard rocks and adorned with various strange patterns, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Inside the bath was warm water, with many fresh red rose petals floating on it, as well as a clean and soft towel.

"Your Majesty, please!" the skeleton soldier opened the door to the bath and said to Night White.

After Night White entered, the skeleton soldier closed the door.

Night White took off her clothes and slowly stepped into the water, lying in the warm water and enjoying the soothing sensation.

In this warm water, Night White couldn't help but close her eyes and indulge in the pleasant feeling of bathing.

Due to her relaxation, her human form gradually couldn't be maintained, and instead transformed into Iris with silver hair. Iris had fair and delicate skin, as smooth and white as a freshly peeled egg. Her body was slender and soft, with exquisite curves. The only flaw was her flat chest, lacking the voluptuousness of a woman.

Iris calculated carefully and realized that she seemed to be only five years old. According to her current state, she probably wouldn't grow anymore. It would take another six or seven years for her body to start developing.

"After six or seven years, I should no longer be flat... and I should also grow taller..." Iris muttered to herself while looking at her chest.

"Lord Shi Zhi, your bathroom is not here. Qi Zhou has prepared a medicinal bath to help you regain your voice and heal your injuries," the skeleton soldier said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhi nodded and followed the skeleton soldier to the medicinal bath.

Several skeleton soldiers were preparing the bath for Shi Zhi.

"Lord Shi Zhi, please bathe," the skeleton soldier bowed and stepped back.

Shi Zhi took off her clothes and entered the medicinal bath, immediately feeling a warm steam enveloping her body, bringing a sense of comfort.

Shi Zhi closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm water. The wounds on her body gradually began to heal, and her muscles and bones were gaining strength. This feeling was truly wonderful.

The skeleton soldier with blue flames in its eyes placed a deep purple dress outside the bathroom.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The skeleton soldier knocked on the door of Iris' bathroom and said, "Your Majesty, your clothes have been placed outside the door. You can change after washing."

"Understood," Iris said gently.

Similarly, the skeleton soldier also prepared a set of black attire for Shi Zhi.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Lord Shi Zhi, your change of clothes is ready," the skeleton soldier said.

"Understood," Shi Zhi's voice was no longer hoarse and unpleasant like when she first arrived at Qi Zhou's.

...

After Iris finished bathing, she put on the deep purple dress and stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Finally, I don't have to live in hiding anymore," Iris said self-mockingly.

"Your Majesty, here are your gloves." The skeleton soldier with blue flames in its eyes handed over the gloves and said respectfully.

Iris nodded and put on the gloves.

"Your Majesty, please have a seat. Let me comb your hair, and after that, I will take you to rest," the skeleton soldier with blue flames in its eyes said."Uh-huh," Iris responded as the skeleton soldiers began to groom and dress her.

Sitting in a chair, Iris allowed the skeleton soldiers to fuss over her appearance. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed her eyes unconsciously changing.

There was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, adding to her alluring charm. However, she felt a strange sense of disgust upon seeing her face, which resembled Lilya's. It made her feel repulsed.

After finishing the grooming, the skeleton soldiers led Iris to the bedroom, which was elegantly designed.

The bedroom was adorned with a layer of pale golden bedsheets, embroidered with intricate and luxurious patterns. A faint scent of sandalwood filled the room, instantly refreshing the senses.

"Your Highness, please rest. I will take my leave now," the skeleton soldier said.

Iris nodded in response.

The skeleton soldier slowly vanished from sight.

Iris sat on the soft and comfortable bed and took the white egg out from the Consciousness Space. She gently stroked the egg and prayed, "May I summon a powerful creature that can fly and fight."

After finishing her prayer, Iris covered herself with the blanket and cradled the white egg in her arms before slowly drifting to sleep.
