After the two of them left, a few mages entered the clothing store and asked, "What is the relationship between the Supreme Master and that girl? Is she the wanted criminal Iris?"

"You mean the silver-haired girl? Her name is Qihu, the half-sister of the Supreme Master." The store owner said.

Upon hearing the word "sister", the mages widened their eyes.

"No way, her eyes are still red. Normal human eyes should be black." The mages asked in shock.

"The Supreme Master said that Qihu was cursed with curse magic when she was young, which caused her eyes to become red. She can only see the world in black and white, that's why her eyes are blood red." The store owner explained.

After hearing the store owner's explanation, the mages fell silent. They didn't expect that the Supreme Master had such a pitiful sister.

"Besides, the wanted poster clearly states that Iris's right arm is broken, while Qihu is a girl with all limbs intact. Qihu is so cute, how could she be a vicious criminal?" The store owner said.

The mages believed the store owner's words and left one by one.

Even if Qihu is really Iris, it is the Supreme Master who caught her. It's up to him whether or not he wants to give her to the Queen of the Blood for a reward. They have no right to interfere.

.............

"Soon, the people of the Sun Moon Empire will know that you are my sister. Then you will be free to travel." Qizhou smiled and said.

"Mhm." Iris nodded.

"Remember, don't use your Sequence Magic, Black Inferno, in front of others. It will expose your identity as a wanted criminal. Being a wanted criminal is not a problem, but the Black Inferno is the symbol of the Demon Emperor and it may attract angels." Qizhou advised.

Upon hearing this, Iris nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"I have to go and survey the location of the secret realm. This blue crystal card is enough for Your Majesty's expenses." Qizhou said as he handed a blue crystal card to Iris.

Then Qizhou bid farewell to Iris and left.

Iris watched Qizhou's departing figure and muttered, "Qizhou is really a good subordinate. I wonder what the other eighteen demons will be like. I hope they can all be like Qizhou."

........

Approaching noon, Silu Leng finally finished dealing with the planting and irrigation of the crops.

Then he spread his white wings and flew towards the Adventurer's Association of the Sun Moon Empire.

During the journey, Silu Leng's stomach had already groaned with hunger. After flying in the air for about half an hour, he finally reached the Adventurer's Association of the Sun Moon Empire.

Silu Leng received his reward and went to a nearby snack street.

Just as Silu Leng entered the snack street, he was captivated by the scene in front of him.

Everything here is exquisite.

There were skewers, all kinds of food filling every corner, and various ingredients displayed in abundance, it was simply irresistible.

"So much food!" Silu Leng exclaimed with emotion.

Silu Leng touched the money in his pocket and silently thought, "Forget it! I'll buy it when I have money in the future."

So Silu Leng found a noodle shop and shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl of noodles with an egg, extra chili sauce and vegetables."

"Okay!" the boss happily responded, "Please wait a moment, sir."

Saying that, the boss went to the kitchen to cook.

In no time, the boss brought a steaming bowl of chicken broth noodles to the table.

Silu Leng couldn't wait, he sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.

As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, a delicious taste flooded his taste buds.

"Wow! It's been so long since I've tasted such delicious noodles." Silu Leng couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing Silu Leng's praise, the boss appeared very happy, "If you like it, have some more."

Silu Leng nodded and continued to bury himself in the noodles.

Coincidentally, Iris was also in the snack street, holding a sugar-coated hawthorn in one hand, and heading towards the noodle shop.

"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles, add whatever you have!" Iris called out to the boss.

The noodle shop owner hesitated a bit, after all, the girl in front of him looked exactly like the wanted criminal Iris.

"This is the Supreme Master's sister, don't let the little girl go hungry." A young man next to him said.

"Alright! Little girl, please wait a moment." The noodle shop owner replied, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.During lunchtime, the noodle shop was crowded with customers. Iris sat across from Silorue Cold.

Silorue Cold looked up when he heard the noise and exclaimed, "Isn't this Bella, the wanted criminal? How bold of her to come to a noodle shop to eat. If my Insightful Eyes could determine that she is a vampire, then this girl in front of me must be the wanted criminal. If she's a human girl, that's a different story."

Silorue Cold then activated his Insightful Eyes and was delighted to find, "Not only is this girl a vampire, but she's also a Magic Emperor. It seems that today, not only can I claim the bounty, but I can also eliminate a Magic Emperor in advance."

While eating his noodles, Silorue Cold observed Iris to assure himself that he hadn't made a mistake.

"Enjoy your meal, miss!" The noodle shop owner came out with a bowl of noodles.

The bowl was filled with chicken legs, vegetarian chicken, vegetables, and more. Compared to Silorue Cold's meal, it was incredibly luxurious.

"Thank you, sir," Iris politely thanked the owner.

"After the Magic Emperor finishes this bowl of beheading noodles, it will be time for you to hit the road," Silorue Cold thought to himself.

Soon after finishing her lunch, Iris walked out of the snack shop with a sugar-coated hawthorn stick in hand, aimlessly strolling the streets of the city.

Silorue Cold quietly followed behind Iris, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Shortly after, Iris exited the city and arrived at the Hunting Forest.

This was the place where magical beasts resided, with most of them being fourth-rank in strength. Of course, there were also higher-ranked magical beasts that lived deep within the forest.

The Hunting Forest was a training ground specifically prepared for students of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In the outer area of the Hunting Forest, there were only first or second-rank magical beasts, with some third or fourth-rank ones as well. However, the majority were ordinary magical beasts with no special abilities, just slightly larger and stronger than lions or tigers.

As Iris finished the last bite of her sugar-coated hawthorn, she spoke slowly, "Aren't you tired from following me for so long?"

Iris was very perceptive when it came to others following her. During her three years in the Crimson Empire, Lilia had dispatched countless people to monitor her every move, with the goal of ingraining vampire etiquette into Iris's marrow.

This resulted in Iris inevitably making a sarcastic comment, and then those who were following her would hear it, resulting in Iris getting punished.

Talking behind her mother's back would definitely lead to punishment.

"Hehe." Upon hearing Iris's words, Silorue Cold could only chuckle, "How did you know I was following you?"

"From the moment we met at the noodle shop, your eyes kept darting around on me." Iris said seriously.

"Hehe..." Silorue Cold chuckled once again.

"Who are you exactly?" Iris asked.

"Of course, I'm the one who will take your head." Silorue Cold's figure disappeared in an instant as he spoke.

Silorue Cold's speed was fast, and he instantly appeared in front of Iris, holding a golden sword and thrusting it towards her.

Iris immediately summoned her "Fire-shaped Sword" to block the attack.

"Ding~" A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

"There it is again! Just a few days ago, they sent Shadow Guards to chase after me, and now they've sent someone else to capture me. Is Lilia so bored that she has nothing else to do?" Iris thought, cursing Lilia's ancestors in her heart.

Silorue Cold's weapon was a golden longsword, emitting a hint of holy aura. It appeared to be gold, but also copper.

"What a good sword! I must steal it." Iris muttered to herself.

"Clang!"

"Chang!"

In an instant, Silorue Cold and Iris clashed hundreds of times, the sound of their swords colliding rang out endlessly, making people's ears numb.

After several exchanges, Iris found herself at a disadvantage and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Hiss... If this continues, I will definitely lose. After this fight, I need to diligently practice my sword skills." Iris secretly thought.

At this moment, Silorue Cold made a fierce sweep, aiming for Iris's head.

"Keng~" A clear sound of the blades clashing came, as the black-red blade and the golden sword collided.

Immediately, sparks flew between the two swords.

Iris and Silorue Cold both exited the battle, gripping their swords tightly, looking at each other with serious expressions."The Demon Emperor deserves his reputation. Even though she's just a seven or eight-year-old little girl, her strength should not be underestimated," Silas murmured in astonishment.

Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Iris's face. Just then, a loud roar came from the jungle, followed by a third-level python rushing out, teeth and claws ready to attack Silas.

"That was close," Silas cursed silently. It seemed that the opponent had been lying in wait, waiting for him to take the bait and deliver a fatal blow.

As Silas dodged the python's attacks, he observed his surroundings, looking for an opportunity to strike. With each roar, more pythons pounced on him one after another, accompanied by other demonic beasts.

"This won't do," Silas thought to himself. If this continued, he would be worn down and killed by the monsters.

"Dark Prison!" Iris shouted.

In an instant, the scenery around them changed, and a dark city appeared behind Iris. The city was engulfed in black flames, with dark-armored soldiers wielding various weapons rushing out of it towards Silas.

"The demon army?!" Silas exclaimed. "The Demon Emperor can use Dark Prison now?!"

Countless weapons flew towards Silas from above. His pupils constricted, and with a swing of his golden longsword, the incoming weapons shattered. However, his right arm was injured, and blood started to flow.

Silas's physical strength rapidly declined, especially since he was not a combat-type angel. Faced with a torrential rain of arrows, he couldn't resist.

Just as Silas felt his body growing weaker, his figure suddenly flickered, narrowly avoiding the onslaught of arrows.

"Punishment! Inferno Chains!" Iris chanted a spell.

In an instant, fiery chains shot out from the black magic array, tightly binding Silas and rapidly spreading over his body.

The chains entangled Silas, rendering him unable to move. Panic rose in Silas's heart, as the black flames mercilessly consumed his body.

"Ah... Help, help!" Silas let out a heart-wrenching cry.

With a loud thud, Silas was bound and fell to the ground, motionless. Iris picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it against Silas's forehead, leaving a dent. Silas fell into unconsciousness, lying lifelessly on the ground.

At the same time, a woman with a snake body and human face appeared next to Silas. Seeing his condition, a disdainful smile appeared on her lips as she muttered, "What an idiot."

"Why did you only show up now, Baiyun?" Iris questioned.

"Well...actually...uh...I..." Baiyun stuttered, unable to come up with an explanation.

"You just wanted to slack off," Iris coldly scoffed, tapping Baiyun's head with her index and middle fingers. "Try it again next time you feel like slacking off!"

"No, really! I called so many minions!" Baiyun protested.

"Don't linger here. Come back with me today."

"Yes, Mom," Baiyun reluctantly replied.
