Iris fell into a dream.
In the dream, she was wearing a white dress, with long hair cascading down, and a beautiful and alluring appearance. Her eyes were clear and transparent, like crystals, with curling and thick eyelashes, resembling two little fans, making people can't help but feel fondness for her.
Her figure was curvaceous and enchanting, plump and tender, as delicate as a baby's skin.
Sitting beside her was a girl with light golden hair, whose delicate and exquisite appearance revealed a hint of nobility and mystery between her eyebrows. Her eyes were like stars, sparkling with radiant light.
Her skin was fair and smooth, giving the impression of white jade.
Her figure was tall and slender, with distinct curves, especially her plump chest, which was almost bursting. Her waist was slender and soft, as if it would snap with a slight squeeze. There was a mature and alluring charm emanating from her body, making people unable to resist being mesmerized.
The two of them held hands, looking very intimate, like a couple.
A breeze blew past, their long hair fluttering gently in the wind, like butterflies dancing.
They looked at each other, with a smile of happiness on their lips.
The surroundings kept changing. The girl with the light golden hair was wearing a luxurious wedding gown, holding the arm of a white-haired girl, walking on the red carpet. On one side of the red carpet, a boy in a suit was approaching the bride with a smile on his face, step by step.
A white creature flew towards the boy, holding a ring, and handed it to him. The boy knelt down on one knee, looking at the bride and said, "Will you marry me?"
The bride looked at the boy, smiled and said, "I do!"
After hearing the bride's answer, the boy put the ring on the bride's left ring finger, then slowly stood up and embraced her.
"I love you!" The boy leaned down and kissed the bride's forehead. The bride shyly lowered her head, with a blush on her cheeks, like a blooming peach blossom, charming and pitiable.
"I love you too!"
They gazed at each other, their eyes filled with tenderness and affection, making people envious.
The surrounding guests congratulated them one after another.
"Congratulations, a wonderful marriage! Congratulations!"
"Hehe, I wish you a harmonious marriage for a hundred years!"
"May you grow old together and stay together forever!"
...
The people around were blessing the newlyweds, their faces beaming with smiles of congratulations, as if this couple were the luckiest in the world.
The groom and the bride stood together, accepting the blessings and praises from the people around them, with smiles on their faces.
Just as the two were about to take their vows, the voices around suddenly disappeared, and the guests disappeared without a trace.
Only the girl with white hair and red eyes remained, with a white creature in her arms, but the groom and bride still stood in their original places.
Gradually, the bride's face became blurred, her feet also became fuzzy, the groom wanted to reach out and hold her, but his hand grasped nothing.
"Goodbye, mom!" the girl with white hair and red eyes looked at the groom, murmuring.
"Yiyiyi..." the white creature whimpered.
The white creature and the girl with white hair and red eyes disappeared.
Everything turned into bubbles.
One nameless monster after another came towards the groom, their faces filled with ferocity, their mouths uncontrollably drooling.
They opened their mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced towards the groom.
Iris was startled awake by the situation in her dream, her body covered in cold sweat.
She looked at the empty surroundings, patting her chest with lingering fear, saying, "It's alright, it's just a dream."
Iris leaned against the wall, panting heavily, feeling a surge of power inside her, as if it was about to break free from its cocoon.
Her eyes tightly closed, the power within her body surged wildly.
Her fists clenched, nails digging into her flesh, blood oozing out continuously.
Her skin turned cyanotic, covered in bloody marks. She opened her eyes, filled with a strong aura of ruthlessness and killing intent.
"What on earth is happening?" Iris stared at her own palms, muttering to herself.
Iris's arms trembled incessantly, cracks spreading across her arms.
With a cracking sound, Iris's left arm burst open.
Iris was in excruciating pain, sweating coldly and her face turned pale as paper. Her body trembled violently, as if she could collapse at any moment.
Furious energy surged from Iris's arm, swirling around her and forming a thin veil of light.
The veil of light enveloped Iris's left arm and gradually started to burn.
The burning pain spread throughout Iris's body, causing her to writhe in agony. Her body trembled uncontrollably and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
"What's happening? Where is the fire coming from?" Iris's face looked grim as she tried to shake off the flames from her left arm.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't free herself from the raging fire. The flames grew stronger, almost devouring Iris.
Just when Iris felt like she couldn't hold on any longer, suddenly, the peculiar flames started to regenerate her left arm.
Iris's left arm recovered at a visible rate, and in less than three seconds, her left arm appeared intact in front of her, without any traces of damage. Moreover, her left arm became incredibly white, resembling a piece of immaculate jade, shimmering and gentle.
"What is going on?" Iris looked at her left hand in disbelief, murmuring to herself.
Iris reached out and touched her left arm, feeling no significant changes. Her confusion grew.
After a moment, she noticed a strange symbol on her left arm. The symbol looked somewhat like a bird's wing, lifelike and vivid.
Iris instinctively shook her left hand, trying to move it, and with the shake, white flames erupted from her hand. The flames flickered, reflecting on Iris's beautiful face, appearing incredibly eerie and terrifying.
As Iris looked at the flame in her hand, her shock intensified because she could clearly sense the immense energy contained in the flame. This energy was enough to burn down a mountain range.
"Where did this flame come from? Could it be from the plants I ate earlier? Wasn't my magic sealed by that cursed collar?" Iris was filled with doubts.
Iris carefully considered her situation. She had only eaten these plants since she arrived in this cave. Could these plants have such extraordinary effects? It seemed too miraculous.
With this thought, Iris took out her dagger, uprooted the nearby plants, and threw them into her storage space.
In no time, Iris dug up hundreds of plants and stored them in her storage space. Then, she continued to explore deeper into the cave.
Iris searched within the cave, going further and further. The deeper she went, the more spacious the area became, and her heartbeat grew faster.
Soon, she arrived at a narrow passage, so narrow that only one person could barely squeeze through. Iris had to bend down to enter.
The passage was dim, with the walls embedded with luminous pearls, making it not completely dark inside.
As Iris cautiously walked forward, she observed her surroundings, afraid of any monster suddenly rushing out to attack her.
After passing through the narrow passage, the surroundings became spacious. The walls of the cave were bare and engraved with ancient and weathered patterns, exuding a solemn and ancient aura.
Iris looked at the walls in front of her, her curiosity growing stronger. She couldn't help but walk towards the wall.
"Crack!"
The wall unexpectedly made a slight sound, and a piercing noise reached Iris's ears, sending shivers down her spine. She quickly stepped back.
"Squeak!"
Accompanied by a cry, a black figure rushed out from behind the wall.
"Ah!"
Looking at the ugly face, Iris's mind exploded.
A giant bat flew towards Iris, its body over ten feet long, and it bit into Iris's left wrist.
Before Iris could react, her left arm instinctively released white flames, enveloping the bat and igniting it.
"Squeak!" The bat screamed in agony.
It struggled desperately, trying to free itself from the white flames. However, the flames clung to its body like a festering sore, rendering its struggles futile.
"Sizzle!" White flames burned on its body, emitting a mournful cry. In an instant, the white flames burned it to death.
"This flame actually attacks enemies on its own, it's so miraculous." Iris looked at the flames on her left arm, filled with shock.
Iris kicked the big bat on the ground and cursed, "Stupid thing, how dare you bite me."
Without hesitation, she took out a dagger and dug out the bat's heart, then threw it into her storage space.
Iris cleaned her wound and continued walking inside.
