Meng Zhang took Iris's hand and came to the True Interest Pavilion in Yun Gong. He said to Iris, "The environment here is tranquil and suitable for teaching you how to see the world without using your eyes."

Meng Zhang poured a cup of tea and placed it in Iris's hand. After all, his niece couldn't see at the moment, so as her aunt, he naturally had to take care of her.

Iris took the tea from Meng Zhang's hand and took a sip. The tea fragrance filled the air, leaving a lingering, sweet taste in her mouth.

"Seeing the world without using your eyes, what does that mean?" Iris asked. Meng Zhang smiled and said, "Ultimate emptiness; steadfast serenity. All things are interconnected, and through this, I observe their recurrence."

Although Meng Zhang's voice was not very loud, it still clearly reached Iris's ears in the quiet air.

Iris listened with confusion. She didn't understand the meaning of these two sentences her aunt had said, so she frowned and asked, "What do these two sentences mean?"

Meng Zhang was slightly taken aback. The meaning of these two sentences is, "When we empty our minds, life becomes simple and peaceful. By using our hearts to comprehend, we can observe things that our eyes cannot see."

"Empty your mind and enter a state of 'quiet emptiness,' where you don't need to look or listen. In this way, you can see things that cannot be seen with your eyes," Meng Zhang explained slowly.

Iris followed what Meng Zhang said, relaxing her whole body and calming her mind, unaffected by the outside world.

Iris's mind had completely merged with this world, as if she had become the entirety of it.

Her mind became a pure land, and everything in the world presented itself before her, allowing her to experience the beauty of the world and the vitality of life.

It was a peculiar sensation, one that Iris enjoyed and found comforting.

Iris saw a majestic green power flowing within the outline of a petite figure in front of her.

"Aunt, I see a green power flowing within the outline of a petite figure," Iris said, excitement evident in her voice.

Meng Zhang laughed, picked up the tea and swayed it in front of Iris, asking, "What color is this?"

"There is a light blue within the brown color," Iris replied.

"It seems you have already learned how to see the world with your heart," Meng Zhang said.

"Aunt, what are those colors?" Iris asked curiously.

Meng Zhang smiled and said, "This is called 'heart vision.' These colors correspond to the respective elemental forces. Blue represents water, and brown represents earth. If a magician stood in front of you, their body might gather various colors. If red is the dominant color, then that person specializes in fire magic, and so on."

Iris nodded, indicating that she understood.

"All things have an outline in your mind. This way, you can live like a normal person. Although heart vision is not as intuitive as seeing with your eyes, it is still much better than seeing nothing at all," Meng Zhang took a sip of tea and continued, "There is a power contained within my blood. By storing it in my heart, heart vision will naturally activate."

Iris slowly rose to her feet, knelt down in front of Meng Zhang, and knocked her head three times before looking up at Meng Zhang and saying, "Thank you, Aunt."

Meng Zhang quickly helped Iris up and said, "Why are you thanking me? It's just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning. Moreover, we are family, so there is no need for family members to thank each other."

"Family... family..." repeated Iris twice, suddenly feeling an unusual emotion in her heart. She didn't understand why she had such high expectations for the word "family" all of a sudden.

Iris lowered her head and looked at Meng Zhang. Suddenly, she reached out with both hands and hugged Meng Zhang, burying her head in his chest, quietly feeling her aunt's breath.

"Aunt..." Iris said in a low voice.

"Yes?" Meng Zhang softly responded.

"From now on... we are family. Please don't abandon me or lose me..." Iris said softly in Meng Zhang's embrace.

Meng Zhang was slightly stunned, then he reached out and gently patted Iris's shoulder, saying, "I won't, Aunt won't leave you. No matter what troubles we encounter, I won't abandon you."

After Meng Zhang finished speaking, he gently pushed Iris away.

Meng Zhang lifted her head and found that Iris's face was already covered in tears. He gently wiped the tears from her face, and gently held her in his arms.

"Good child, cry if you want. It will make you feel better," Meng Zhang said tenderly.

Iris was sobbing in Mengzhang's arms, not knowing what was happening to her. After hearing what her aunt had said, she felt a strange bitterness and resentment in her heart.

After a while, Iris gradually stopped crying. Mengzhang took a tissue and wiped away the tears from Iris's face. Then she placed Iris on the chair beside her and cleaned up the tea pot and cups on the table.

Mengzhang sat down next to Iris and held her hand gently, saying softly, "The past is gone. Auntie hopes you can forget that painful memory and start a new life."

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I can't forget it. It is a shadow deep in my heart, and unless it disappears, it will always be there," Iris shook her head, speaking with a melancholy expression.

Mengzhang sighed and gently patted Iris's back, comforting her, "It's okay. Auntie will always be your strongest support. If you need anything, just tell Auntie, and I'll take care of it for you."

"Okay!" Iris nodded vigorously. She could feel that her aunt genuinely regarded her as family, without any ulterior motives or selfishness.

"Are you a child, Auntie?" Iris suddenly asked.

"What kind of aunt do you want, then?" Mengzhang asked in return.

Iris tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Well... at least taller than me, not like a little girl."

Mengzhang chuckled and pinched Iris's nose, then laughed, "You little brat dares to make fun of your aunt!"

Iris giggled foolishly, then suddenly said, "Auntie, when you're old, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."

Mengzhang's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect such words to come out of Iris's mouth, and said with genuine surprise, "Auntie doesn't need you to take care of me. Auntie can take care of you for the rest of my life."

The two of them talked and laughed, just like an ordinary mother and daughter. If anyone else saw this scene, they would surely envy them.

Lingguang was quietly refining Asathos's eyes in a corner. It was an extremely difficult task, requiring precise control of the heat, otherwise the eyes would explode.

For Lingguang, this was a time-consuming and energy-consuming task, but she had no complaints.

For the sake of her daughter's sight, it was all worth it, and Lingguang was willing to make every effort.

...

The next day, the sun rose, and a ray of golden sunlight spilled into the room, as if casting a dreamlike golden glow over the entire space.

Mengzhang transformed into a mature and enchanting beauty. There was a captivating charm about her, every frown and smile tugging at the hearts of men.

Her eyebrows were the most beautiful sword-like brows, sharp as a blade. Her eyes were clear like spring water, making people unable to resist approaching. Her nose was a classic high and beautiful bridge, very gorgeous.

Her figure was stunning, with a well-shaped chest and round hips. Her slender and long legs were tightly wrapped in black stockings, accentuating the contours to perfection.

After dressing herself up, Mengzhang murmured to herself in front of the mirror, "Now I should match Iris's image of her aunt, right?"

Having said that, Mengzhang stepped towards the stairs. Her steps were steady, neither rushed nor anxious.

She entered Iris's room and looked at Iris lying in bed. Mengzhang smiled as she touched Iris's head gently and softly woke her up.

Iris slowly sat up and yawned, "Auntie, why did you suddenly grow taller today?"

"Well... that's Auntie's special ability," Mengzhang said mysteriously, her voice carrying a hint of seduction.

She extended her index finger into Iris's mouth and said, "Eat up!"

Iris bit her finger with her sharp teeth, then began to suck the blood.

Eating the blood fed to her by Mengzhang, Iris had a blissful expression on her face, as if savoring a delicious candy.

Iris's actions were adorable, and Mengzhang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Is it tasty? If you like it, have some more. Auntie is not an ordinary person, this amount of blood is nothing to me."

"Hmm." Iris softly responded and continued eating.

Seeing how adorable Iris looked, Meng Zhang couldn't help but reach out and tap her forehead. He said, "You really are a greedy little cat."

After eating her fill, Iris didn't forget to lick the bloodstains off Meng Zhang's fingers. A satisfied expression appeared on her face as she said, "Auntie, you're so kind. This is the most delicious blood I've ever tasted!"

"Alright, rest well! Auntie will leave for now. If there's anything, just find Auntie, understood?" Meng Zhang said gently to Iris.

"I understand, Auntie." Iris replied with a smile.

Meng Zhang left the room and gently closed the door.

In Iris's eyes, Meng Zhang seemed much taller than yesterday, almost like a transformation from a loli to an elegant lady. This speed of transformation surprised Iris.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Iris began to practice her mind-reading ability. She wanted to see what Auntie really looked like.
