Meiweis returned to the street, wandered around for a while, bought a wheelchair, and then bought a box of pastries and a pot of floral tea, before heading towards Iris' room.

When Meiweis entered Iris' room, Iris was lying on the bed reading a book, while the two little ones, Baiquan and Baiying, were nowhere to be seen, probably off playing somewhere.

"Iris, I brought some floral tea to see you, and I specially bought your favorite pastries," Meiweis apologized with a hint of remorse as she looked at Iris lying on the bed.

Iris glanced at Meiweis indifferently, ignoring her completely.

Meiweis awkwardly smiled and continued, "Iris, I was in the wrong yesterday. I acted foolishly out of frustration. Please forgive me. I'm here to make amends."

"No need," Iris said in a calm tone, still not paying any attention to Meiweis.

Feeling a bit disheartened by Iris' attitude, Meiweis persisted, "Iris, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you that way yesterday. Please forgive me. If you have any needs, please let me know, and I will take care of them for you."

"I forgive you, now please leave and take everything you've bought. I don't need them," Iris said apathetically, still not looking at Meiweis, and continued reading her book.

After hearing Iris' words, Meiweis was taken aback, and instead of feeling happy, she felt even more disappointed. She pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I understand that you're still mad at me. Don't worry, such a thing will never happen again."

With that, she turned around and left Iris' room.

Stepping out of Iris' room, Meiweis took a deep breath. Iris had verbally forgiven her, but she never looked her in the eye or initiated any conversation. She was extremely cold and even cruel.

"It's my own fault, so I have to pay the price!" Although Meiweis received Iris' verbal forgiveness, she still couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. She decided to accept her punishment.

"I have apologized to Iris, and when you make a mistake, you must be punished. Aunt, please order two hundred lashes and three months of confinement," Meiweis kneeled down and said in a low voice.

"If that's the case, I will give you the appropriate punishment according to your request," Liliya looked at Meiweis and said calmly.

"Thank you, Aunt," Meiweis gratefully thanked Liliya.

"Get up," Liliya motioned her to stand up with a wave of her hand, speaking in an indifferent tone.

"Yes!" Meiweis stood up straight, respectfully standing beside her.

Liliya took out pen and paper from the table and quickly wrote a punishment document, handing it to Meiweis, saying, "Go to the Department of Punishment and receive your punishment."

Meiweis took the document, respectfully said, "Yes!"

Meiweis then went to the Department of Punishment to receive her punishment, where the executioners happened to be Li Xi and Xue Youyue.

Although Meiweis was their good friend, they couldn't go easy on her when faced with the punishment document from the Queen. They had to follow the rules.

"We're about to begin. I hope you can bear it," Li Xi glanced at Meiweis and said.

Meiweis clenched her silver teeth, enduring the pain, and insisted, "Go ahead."

"Alright, let's begin." After Li Xi finished speaking, she took out a whip and lashed it towards Meiweis.

Crack...

The whip landed heavily on Meiweis' back, leaving several bloody marks.

Meiweis groaned and gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, continuing to bear the beating.

...

Liran Day was sitting by the creek, focusing on her cultivation. A cool energy flowed through her body and slowly entered her meridians.

Liran Day furrowed her eyebrows as a blue-white mist enveloped her body. Under the cover of the mist, she seemed to transform into an ice sculpture, with a bone-chilling coldness. The air around her instantly became freezing, and gusts of cold winds blew, causing leaves to fall and ripples to form on the creek.

After over an hour, Liran Day slowly opened her eyes, letting out a long breath. Her face still carried a cold and frosty expression.

"The cultivation this time has yielded good results. The power of the sequence seems to be even purer, more refined, and stronger than before. It won't be long before I can fully recover," Liran Day muttered to herself, her gaze still icy cold.

Liran Day composed herself and looked around, only to realize that she had been sitting by the riverbank for several hours without noticing. She stretched lazily, moved her body a bit, and started thinking about how to use the power of the sequence to enable Iris to use magic while cutting off her connection with the Demon Emperor.

After some contemplation, Liran Day came up with a plan. She decided to sever Iris's dark red right arm and seal the black lock with the power of the sequence. Then, she would use a transformation of her versatile gun into a needle and inject the power of the sequence into Iris's brain to suppress the Demon Emperor. There was a high probability that Iris would lose a part of her memory or become mentally disabled.

However, Liran Day shook her head and vetoed the plan. It was too dangerous, and if it failed, not only would Iris become disabled, but she could also become insane and lose the ability to use magic.

"This method is too risky. I better not do it," Liran Day pondered for a long time, shook her head, and let out a sigh.

Two of the three people Liran Day cared about had already passed away, and she didn't want to see her sister secretly crying because of Iris, standing outside the window and not daring to enter the house.

She intended to chat with Iris, hoping that she wouldn't blame everything on her sister alone.

Liran Day spread her pristine white wings and flew up into the sky, heading towards the courtyard where Iris lived.

Upon arriving at Iris's residence, Liran Day flew into the courtyard and immediately caught a strong medicinal scent. She frowned and walked into the room.

She saw that Iris's ankles and lower legs were wrapped in bandages and couldn't help but feel confused. She remembered that she had inserted a needle-like object into Iris's thigh. How did it become like this?

Approaching Iris, Liran Day glanced at her and asked, "How did your leg get injured again?"

Iris paused her book flipping motion, glanced at Liran Day, and coldly replied, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. These minor injuries aren't worth mentioning. Focus on your duty as a Valkyrie and just kill me. In that case, the demon won't be a threat anymore."

"We will handle these matters. You don't need to worry. The injuries on your body were caused by me using a golden needle-like object to pin you to the bed, ensuring that the Demon Emperor can't control your body. If we don't block the connection between the Demon Emperor and you, one day your body will belong to the Demon Emperor. As for the collar on your neck, it was created by my versatile holy spear and has nothing to do with your sister. Your current state is all my doing, so if you want to hate someone, hate me," Liran Day coldly explained, looking down at Iris.

After hearing Liran Day's words, Iris scoffed, turned her head, and no longer paid attention to Liran Day.

Liran Day shrugged helplessly and didn't care about Iris's cold response.

"I injured you, so naturally, I am responsible for you," Liran Day said, taking out a bottle of ointment from her storage space, preparing to apply it to Iris's wounds.

"Get away from me. I don't need your things," Iris said impatiently, giving Liran Day a disdainful look.

"Don't need them?" Liran Day raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Iris, the medicine you use, the bed you sleep on, and the clothes you wear are all your sister's. But now you say you don't need them. Is that interesting?"

"So what?" Iris provocatively stared at Liran Day.

Liran Day ignored Iris's feelings and insisted on removing her niece's bandages, helping her apply the ointment. Iris struggled to remove Liran Day's hand, but she was too weak to free herself from the bindings due to her injuries. She glaringly stared at Liran Day, then angrily shouted, "What are you trying to do? Let go of me!"

Ignoring Iris's struggles, Liran Day continued applying the ointment. Gently wiping it on, she then put the ointment away.

Liran Day took out a coarse hemp rope from her storage space and bound Iris's hands together. She then used the rope to tie her knees and secure them to the bedpost, preventing her from moving and causing self-harm.

Iris looked at the hemp rope tied to the end of the bed, cursing angrily, "Liran Day, you despicable person, let me go!"

Liran Day completely ignored Iris, instead taking out a blindfold and a ball-shaped object with several holes in it. She put them on Iris's eyes and covered her mouth, securely tying her to the post at the head of the bed.

"Whimper... whimper..." Iris struggled with all her might, making whimpering sounds, but it was of no use.

"These things that Silu Leng gave me are really useful!" Liran Day looked at Iris, trapped by her, thinking to herself.

"Mmm... Mmm..." Making whimpering sounds from her mouth, Iris wanted to insult Liran Day.

"I heard from my sister that you engage in self-harm, so I can only control you in this way. The powder I gave you is made by the healing angel Angela, combining the power of sequences with herbs. By this time tomorrow, you will be able to move around." Liran Day looked at Iris and said coldly, "I will accompany you until tomorrow."

"Whimper... whimper..." Iris could only protest by making whimpering sounds.

"My sister feels guilty towards you, so she is being lenient. I don't owe you anything, so I'll ask my niece to obediently lie on the bed and not provoke my anger." Liran Day glanced at Iris, her words filled with indifference as if everything was irrelevant and insignificant, like ants.

Having said that, Liran Day sat on a chair, silently watching Iris without saying another word.

"Whimper... whimper..." When Iris saw that Liran Day was not speaking anymore, she became restless. But she was unable to break free from the ropes, so she could only curse Liran Day incessantly in her mind.

Liran Day only wanted to transfer Iris's hatred towards her sister onto herself, not wanting Iris to resent her sister so much.
