Late at night, the white egg in Iris's arms emitted circles of fluorescence, illuminating the surroundings as bright as daylight. Stimulated by the strong light, Iris immediately opened her sleepy eyes and rubbed them, looking dazedly at the egg. Excitedly, she exclaimed, "Is it about to hatch?"
"Squeak!" A sound, and a small white claw poked out of the eggshell.
"Crackling" sounds filled the air as the white egg cracked open, revealing a tender white creature inside. It had four small white claws, a white tail, pristine wings, and blue eyes with black pupils. It was petite, with flawless white skin, and looked very eye-catching and adorable.
"Ying ying ying!"
As soon as the creature was born, it started chirping and waving its four small arms and legs. Its large blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"From now on, I'll call you Bai Ying," Iris said, petting Bai Ying's head.
As Iris watched Bai Ying, she couldn't help but ponder what kind of creature it was. "With wings, a cat-like body, and hatched from an egg, this is really peculiar and strange." She couldn't recall any information about this creature from her memory and didn't know its species.
"Anyway, as long as it can fly, it makes up for my inability to fly," Iris laughed, very satisfied with the creature.
Suddenly, a small figure emerged from behind Iris through the star gate.
"Mama! I'm back!" White Juong wrapped its tail around Iris's waist, bringing her to its front, then nuzzled against her head and said in a coquettish tone.
"Are you healed?" Iris pinched White Juong's cheek.
"Mmm!" White Juong replied, sounding childish.
White Juong noticed the white creature on the pillow and the broken eggshell, and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's my other summon, and its name is Bai Ying."
"I see!" White Juong nodded.
"Ying ying ying!" Bai Ying scratched Iris's hand with its four limbs, coquettishly calling out, as if it were hungry.
Iris lightly touched Bai Ying's head and said, "Mommy will prepare food for you right away. White Juong, keep an eye on Bai Ying and don't let it wander around."
"I know!" Then White Juong muttered softly, "Besides, Bai Ying has just been born. How could it run amok?"
After saying that, Iris turned and headed towards the kitchen.
After Iris left, White Juong wrapped its tail around Bai Ying and muttered, "No wonder it's called Bai Ying. It turns out to be a little chirping creature!"
"Ying ying ying, ying ying ying..." Bai Ying understood White Juong's words and quickly protested.
White Juong's snake tongue kept flicking in and out, its pupils emitting a hint of red light. A strong gloominess emanated from its eyes, enveloping Bai Ying. Shivering, Bai Ying's eyes welled with tears.
"Ying ying ying~~~" Bai Ying cried out in fear.
"Bai Ying, this is a world where the weak serve the strong as playthings! You're a weakling! No crying! Don't tell Mommy, otherwise, if you enter the star gate, you'll be done for," White Juong threatened in a sinister tone.
Terrified, Bai Ying quickly shut its mouth, not daring to cry or make a fuss, but its pitiful expression couldn't deceive anyone.
Seeing this, a malicious smile curled up at the corners of White Juong's mouth as it thought, "Finally, there's someone in the Consciousness Space that I can bully. Life's been boring, but it's finally getting a little interesting."
...
Soon, Iris arrived in the kitchen and found that there was nothing inside.
"What do you need, Your Majesty? I'll fetch it for you," asked a skeleton soldier with blue flames in its eyes.
"I'm super!" Iris jumped in surprise and said, "Why do you walk without making any sound?"
"I apologize, Your Majesty. We were summoned by Lord Weeping Boat and usually hide in the shadows," the skeleton soldier explained.
"Alright."
"Do you need any food, Your Majesty?"
"Do you have any food for young creatures?" Iris asked.
"May I ask how young the creature is?"
"Just born."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I'll go get food for you."
After saying that, the skeleton soldier disappeared.
"I really can't hear any sound!" Iris muttered.
In a short while, the skeleton soldier returned with the food. "This bottle contains the milk of a certain creature, a bag of blood, and three roasted chickens.""I didn't ask for so much?" Iris asked, astonished.
"Lord Qizhou commanded that when His Majesty wakes up, we must provide him with the freshest and healthiest food, while the roast chicken is for your summoning beast," the skeleton soldier said.
"Alright! You can go now!" Iris waved her hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the skeleton soldier bowed respectfully and left.
"Qizhou is so considerate! He even thought of Bai Zhuang," Iris murmured to herself.
She then returned to the bedroom with the food basket, and Bai Zhuang could already smell the aroma of the roast chicken from afar.
"Mama~" Bai Zhuang pounced on Iris and coquettishly said, "I'm hungry."
"I know, I know!" Iris fondly scratched Bai Zhuang's nose, took out the liquid milk and blood bag, and said, "Everything in the basket is for you."
"Thank you, Mama!"
Bai Zhuang put the basket on the table and started to devour the chicken, but Bai Zhuang's way of eating was not elegant. She devoured the two chicken legs in an instant.
"Ying ying ying~" Bai Zhang whimpered, as if urging Iris to feed it more quickly.
"Here you go!" Iris picked up the bottle and fed Bai Zhuang some milk.
Bai Zhuang drank the milk while looking at the roast chicken on the table. Bai Zhuang's eyes rolled around, giving her a clever appearance.
"Don't look at it! You don't even have teeth, just drink your milk obediently! Eat those things when you grow up." Iris smiled and teased Bai Zhuang while saying.
After Bai Zhuang finished eating, she crawled by the pillow and fell asleep.
"Bai Zhuang, I'll give you a vaccination first. Take good care of Bai Zhuang as her sister and don't bully her. Otherwise, I will deal with you." Iris said while drinking from the blood bag.
"Got it! My dear mother." Bai Zhuang made a cute face.
After Bai Zhuang finished eating, she took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and crawled onto Iris's bed.
"What are you doing?" Iris asked, surprised.
"Of course, I'm going to sleep with Mama." Bai Zhuang said naturally and lay next to Iris.
Bai Zhuang reached out, hugged Iris's waist, and rested her head on Iris's belly.
"This way is not good, you might press on my stomach." Iris said.
"Mama, your belly is so soft!" Bai Zhuang said coquettishly.
"You are getting naughtier and naughtier." Iris shook her head, pushed Bai Zhuang away, and turned over. But Bai Zhuang rolled over and lay on Iris's belly again, continuing to act coquettishly, "Mama, Bai Zhuang's injury is fine, she just wants to lie beside you."
"Alright, alright, go to sleep quickly!" Iris said helplessly.
...
Lilia sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, rubbing her sharp chin with her fingers, frowning slightly, lost in thought. The maid beside her kept her head down and dared not look up at Lilia.
"Go and fetch Mediris!" Lilia suddenly said, with an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maids responded and walked towards Mediris' residence.
"Mediris, pay respects to Her Majesty!" Mediris knelt before Lilia respectfully.
"No need to be polite, get up." Lilia said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mediris stood up, feeling extremely puzzled in her heart, not knowing why Her Majesty sought her.
Lilia sat on the stone chair, looked at Mediris, and said, "Mediris, as an envoy of the Crimson Empire, I want you to go to the Sun Moon Empire and let the king of the Sun Moon Empire find Qizhou and extract information about Iris from him. If he refuses, declare war on the Sun Moon Empire."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mediris responded.
"Furthermore, if you encounter Iris, capture her forcefully. If she resists, kill her directly! Remember, don't let her escape." Lilia ordered coldly.
"Yes!" Mediris responded, but she was extremely puzzled in her heart. Although Princess Iris had done something rebellious, she was still the Queen's own flesh and blood. They could just capture her, disable her magic, and spare her life. Why would they want to kill her?
Mediris was still thinking about this when Lilia waved her hand, indicating that Mediris could leave.
Mediris did not dare to defy Lilia's order and turned around to leave.
Mediris opened her blood wings and flew towards the direction of the Sun Moon Empire, muttering to herself, "As a loyal servant, I should fulfill my duties."...
The nutrient solution injected into Shi Lu Leng was mixed with her own sequence magic, although it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to allow Shi Lu Leng to lock onto Shi Zhi's location.
Even Shi Zhi himself couldn't detect this tiny bit of sequence magic.
"Sally, you are just an ordinary human. We angels have completed our mission, and I will play the role of a good sister, protecting you until death. But you are a demon, and we are destined to be enemies, so I will never let you live." Shi Lu Leng looked at the night sky outside the window, murmuring to herself.
Then Shi Lu Leng spread her pure white wings, turning into a stream of light, flying towards the Sun Moon Empire.
In the night, the sky was filled with stars, the galaxy was bright, and the moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight poured into the forest, casting a silver glow on the leaves and grass.
