Ling Xi was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, a strong wave of magic came, Ling Xi opened his eyes and saw a group of blood clan soldiers breaking into the palace, surrounding it completely.

Looking at the blood clan in front of him, Ling Xi frowned and thought to himself, "Finally, they've come. I've been waiting for them for quite some time."

"Do you have business with me?" Ling Xi stood up calmly and asked, showing no panic at all.

"Are you Ling Xi?" the leader of the blood clan soldiers asked.

"I am." Ling Xi said casually, as if he didn't care about the soldiers in front of him at all.

"Very well, then come with us." Saying that, the leader of the soldiers raised his sword and pointed it at Ling Xi.

Ling Xi finished drinking the tea in his cup, smiled and said, "Let's go."

Seeing the cooperation from the girl in front of him, the leader soldier put his sword back into its scabbard and made a gesture inviting Ling Xi.

Ling Xi stood up and walked shoulder to shoulder with the leader soldier, arriving at the arena.

"The scene here is still the same as before." Ling Xi looked around and smiled.

"Ling Xi, please have a duel with Mr. Barkberio using your mage magic. Whoever wins will have the qualification to teach the princess," the leader soldier said.

"Haha!" Hearing this, Ling Xi laughed recklessly and said, "So this is the reason? It's Lena who begged me to teach her. If it's about this, then let Mr. Barkberio take on the task of teaching the princess."

"This..." The leader soldier was taken aback, not expecting Ling Xi to refuse to teach the princess, not knowing what to do.

"Haha, young lady, you are too confident, aren't you?" Barkberio sneered, "Our family is the number one mage family in the entire empire. Are you afraid? Or are you a coward, afraid of losing to me and dare not fight?"

When Ling Xi was Princess of the Blood, she had never heard of any mage family, this person must be a fraud.

"Sorry, I am not interested in teaching. As for this duel, I will let you know your foolishness." Ling Xi said coldly, opened her bat wings, and flew towards the arena.

"Hmph, arrogant!" Seeing this, Barkberio snorted coldly and flew up as well, confronting Ling Xi on the arena.

"You will pay for your baseless arrogance." Barkberio shouted in a cold voice, waving his hand to draw a Qimen formation.

Ling Xi was a bit speechless seeing this, with his drawing style, when will it be finished?

One minute later, Barkberio stopped waving his hand, and a simple Qimen formation appeared in front of Ling Xi.

This Qimen formation only had two palaces, Li and Kan, even simpler than what Ling Xi gave to Lena.

Ling Xi lightly stepped on the ground with her right foot, blue veins spread from the ground, almost instantly spreading the Qimen formation onto the arena.

Victor in the distance couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Ling Xi to actually know mage magic, and the speed at which the Qimen formation condensed was so fast! He had underestimated this young girl!

"You..." Looking at Ling Xi's Qimen formation, Barkberio's eyes widened in surprise.

This girl's Qimen formation was not only larger in coverage than his, but it also had eight palaces. His grandfather's Qimen formation had only four palaces, which truly shocked him.

"Calm down, stay calm, maybe it's just for show," Barkberio kept telling himself.

"Huo Li! Exploding Bomb!"

Barkberio shouted, and a giant fireball shot out from his palm, heading towards Ling Xi.

Seeing the fireball approaching, Ling Xi didn't dodge, but directly blocked it with her left arm.

With a loud bang, the fireball was intercepted by Ling Xi's left arm.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Barkberio exclaimed in surprise. He never expected his attack to be blocked by the opponent's arm.

At this moment, Ling Xi's left hand was completely brown, like a carved rock, extremely hard.

Seeing this, Barkberio consecutively launched three more attacks.

Unfortunately, all three attacks were blocked by Ling Xi with her arm.

"How is this possible?! This is impossible!" Barkberio shook his head in disbelief.

"Huo Li! Crimson Flame!"

Ling Xi stomped her foot in the Li palace and slammed her right fist into the ground. Instantly, a blazing flame erupted from underground.

Ling Xi stepped onto the position of the Xun Palace behind her, saying, "Wind Xun! Fierce Wind!"

As Ling Xi's voice fell, a chilling gust of wind swept through. Fire and wind combined to form a terrifying fire tornado, spreading in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the arena had turned into a sea of fire, resembling a hellish scene, spectacular beyond imagination.

Everything on the arena had turned to ashes. Barkeleya continued to extinguish the fire around him with water bombs, but they were melted away under the devastation of wind and fire.

Standing above the sea of fire, Ling Xi's expression remained indifferent, as if she was admiring her own magic.

"Your highness has shown great magnanimity, please release me," Barkeleya hoarsely pleaded.

Seeing this, Ling Xi withdrew her hand, looked at Barkeleya with indifference, and said, "I admit defeat, please teach the little princess well." With that, Ling Xi leaped off the arena and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The crowd looked at the vanishing Ling Xi with astonishment. No one expected her to give up so easily; it was truly beyond everyone's expectations.

At the same time, this girl named Ling Xi showed everyone what warlock magic was and introduced them to her elusive Qimen pattern.

Victor, witnessing this scene, was greatly shocked. This girl was so powerful; it was no wonder Rena was willing to become her disciple.

Barkeleya remained stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time. It took him two hundred years to master two palace positions, but how long did that girl take? She had already reached eight palace positions, which was truly astonishing and overwhelming for him.

Most importantly, after releasing the fire of the Leave Palace, that girl stepped onto the position of the Xun Palace and unleashed a hurricane. Her movements flowed smoothly and flawlessly, leaving people in awe.

And the opening of the Qimen pattern. He needed a minute to draw it, but with a light step of her right foot, blue veins would appear on the ground, forming the Qimen pattern. It was simply unimaginable.

Finally, Barkeleya approached Victor, knelt down on one knee, and sincerely said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the master of the princess be taken by that girl. I want to return home and continue researching the Qimen pattern, hoping to thoroughly understand it!" Then Barkeleya stood up, bowed to Victor, and left the arena, ready to continue researching the Qimen pattern.

...

Since then, the Crimson Empire has started a wave of discussions on the Qimen pattern. Many young boys and girls hope to awaken Warlock Arts and become disciples of that girl.

"Lightning type? It's nothing. Warlock Arts are much more powerful. Wind, fire, and water, using one hand to withstand flame attacks. How cool is that?" said a vampire youth dressed in black.

"Exactly, I heard that Warlock Arts are even more than this. If it weren't for the weakness of Barkeleya, that girl could have displayed even more powerful moves," another person echoed.

"If you don't show it, it's as if it doesn't exist. Everything must be backed by achievements. I think the Lightning type is still the most powerful," another person interjected.

The three vampire youths began to argue about it, engaging in a virtual duel, and the discussion became heated.

Wearing a veil, Ling Xi walked the streets buying various foods. After all, there were three mouths at home waiting for her to feed.

She had no interest in these theoretical debates, which were full of empty words. In any case, these competitions were not real battles, just to prove who was stronger and who was weaker, without any meaning.

Furthermore, none of you know Warlock Arts or the Lightning type, so participating in such debates is like barking at the moon, just empty talk.

Ling Xi returned home carrying bags filled with food. Baixi, smelling the aroma, dashed out of the bedroom and pounced into her arms.

"Mother, I don't want to eat any compressed food. I want meat!" Baixi rubbed against Ling Xi's clothes with all its might, its eyes filled with anticipation, as if saying, "Hurry up and get me some meat, I want to eat meat."

Hearing the commotion, Baiying also came out of her room. "Mother, hug me," she said in a gentle voice that made people unable to resist pinching her cheeks.

"Okay, okay, come here." Ling Xi put down the things in her hands on the table, then squatted down and hugged Baiying.

As for Yingling, she stood behind the bedroom door, quietly watching everything. She envied Baixi and Baiying; she also wanted to be held by her mother. However, with Lilia's life in uncertainty, Yingling had no way of doing anything about it.

As for whether the girl in front of her was her real sister, Yingling didn't know. This sister was so cruel to her, it shouldn't be a blood relation, and besides, they didn't look alike.

Baiying had also said before that Baixi's words could only be half trusted, and no matter what, they had to be careful and never provoke that girl, otherwise both she and their mother would die.

Seeing her mother put the things in her hand on the table, Baixi immediately came over and started looking for meat.

"Hehe, roast suckling pig." She licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

Watching Baixi act like a greedy cat, Lingxi couldn't help but smile and flicked her forehead.

"Mother, it hurts!" Baixi rubbed her forehead and pouted.

"Hmph." Lingxi ignored Baixi and took out a piece of beef from the nearby bag, cutting off a small piece and handing it to Baiying's mouth.

"Mmm!" Baiying happily chewed on it, saying, "Mmm, it's delicious!"

Lingxi saw this scene behind the door and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she also wanted to eat meat.

Tears shimmered in Yingling's eyes, she also wanted her mother to hold her and feed her meat. But where was her mother?

She was just a four-year-old child, her yearning for maternal love was so strong, but also so elusive.

She could only hide in the corner, silently watching this scene.

At this moment, Lingxi suddenly noticed Yingling hiding behind the door, staring at her with watery eyes.

When their eyes met, Yingling quickly lowered her head and hid in the room.

"Give this blood plasma and beef to your aunt." Iris said to Baiying in her arms, and handed the blood plasma and beef to Baiying.

"Mmm." Baiying ran back to the room with the blood plasma and beef, handing them to Yingling.

"Auntie, eat." Baiying smiled sweetly, with an innocent expression that warmed Yingling's heart.

"Mmm." Yingling nodded and took the beef, devouring it eagerly. She was really starving.

"After you finish eating the roast suckling pig, come to the bedroom and find me, Baixi." Lingxi instructed.

"Mmm." Baixi mumbled in response.
