Chapter 283: If I don't cherish her, who will?
update icon Updated at 2025/9/25 7:10:12

Before entering the medical room, she took out a black veil from her pocket and put it on her delicate and beautiful face, covering it up.

Then she walked into the medical room while holding Ying Ling.

"Your Majesty..." The demon doctors in the medical room bowed when they saw Iris, and greeted her in unison.

"Hmm!" Iris responded and gently placed her sister on the bed.

"Check her right ankle and see how serious the injury is," Iris ordered calmly, sitting on a chair beside, waiting for the results of the examination.

A demon physician immediately approached, crouched down, and carefully examined the condition of Ying Ling's ankle.

He gently touched Ying Ling's swollen right ankle with his hand, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Feeling the immense pain in her right ankle, tears immediately welled up in Ying Ling's eyes, but she forced herself not to cry.

"How is it? How bad is her ankle injured?" Iris asked.

"This lady's right ankle is severely dislocated and twisted. It needs to be treated with healing magic and will take half a month to fully recover," the demon physician said respectfully.

"No need, as long as the pain is relieved, I can continue practicing," Ying Ling hurriedly shook her head, fearing that her older sister would abandon her if she caused trouble. If she could survive, losing one leg wouldn't matter!

"If not treated in time, her right ankle will lose sensation and she won't be able to jump or move forever, even if it recovers, she will be a cripple," the demon physician explained, applying ointment on Ying Ling's wound in the hope of reducing the swelling as soon as possible.

"Just a limp, not death. Help me relieve the pain," Ying Ling bit her lip and said firmly, a strong determination and resilience flashing in her eyes.

Iris, standing next to the bed, had a dark expression on her face. She raised her palm and slapped Ying Ling's fair and tender cheek hard.

"Smack!" A loud sound echoed as the clear palm print appeared on Ying Ling's face.

"Your Majesty... I can really continue to practice... I can keep going," Ying Ling covered her swollen right cheek, suppressing her tears and trembled as she spoke.

She couldn't cause trouble for her older sister, otherwise she would be abandoned.

"I taught you how to survive, and you use it for this? If you dare to say these foolish words in front of me, I will imprison you in a water dungeon forever. Do you understand?" Iris's eyes were filled with fierceness and killing intent.

Trembling, Ying Ling dared not say another word of opposition, only nodding repeatedly.

"Treat her!" Iris flicked her sleeves and left the room.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The demon physician quickly replied.

...

Iris stood at the door of the medical room, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Was her method of education wrong? The way of survival was used in this kind of situation?

The training tasks should be reduced, two days off per week. A child's body couldn't bear too much pressure and burden, it would only backfire.

"Ah!" Iris shook her head, sighed heavily.

If she could eradicate the Ruined Land continent, her child could live each day carefree and normal. She didn't expect her to protect the citizens of a country, she just hoped she could survive longer in this chaotic world.

Iris walked out of the medical room and went outside.

She transmitted a message through the Consciousness Space, asking Baixi to come to her.

After a while, a white dragon flew across the sky and landed in front of Iris, transforming into human form.

"Mother, what can I do for you?" Baixi landed on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"You said last time that Ying Ling wants a pet, right?" Iris asked.

"Yes!" Baixi nodded slightly, "Last time, when we were shopping, Auntie kept looking at the pets in the pet shop window."

"Which pet shop? Take me to have a look." Iris crossed her arms and said calmly.

"Alright, Mother, please follow me!" Baixi said, leading Iris to the other side of the street.

The bustling street was filled with people coming and going. Various goods were displayed on both sides, offering a diverse range of choices.

"Which pet shop?" Iris asked.

"Go right at the intersection ahead, and it's the third corner in the third row. It's called 'Dream City' pet shop," Baixi pointed ahead and explained.

"Okay!" Iris nodded and walked towards the road on the right.

In no time, Iris and Baixi arrived at the entrance of the Dream City.

"Baixi, which pet does Yingling like?" Iris turned and asked Baixi.

"The white-eyed lion cat," Baixi recalled, "Aunt has always liked it."

"I understand." Iris then walked into the pet store and pointed to the white-eyed lion cat in the display window.

"I want this cat!" Iris said to the salesperson.

The salesperson hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "This lion cat has already been reserved, someone will come to pick it up tomorrow morning."

"Reserved? Did the person pay a deposit?" Iris asked.

"Not yet!" the salesperson shook their head.

"It's not considered a reservation without a deposit. Pack up this cat, I'm taking it with me," Iris said calmly, with an undeniable sense of authority in her tone.

"This..." The salesperson hesitated, "How about you choose another one? I can give you a discount of 20%."

As soon as these words were spoken, Iris's face immediately became cold, "Verbal reservation can also be considered a reservation? My sister likes this cat, and I will take it no matter what. If you're afraid to do it, have that customer come to the Sleepless Temple to find me." Iris said icily, with a tone that brooked no argument.

After saying this, Iris ignored the expression of the salesperson, held the lion cat in her arms, and took out a blue crystal card from her pocket, throwing it at the salesperson, "No need to give change, the rest is your tip."

With that, Iris left the pet store without looking back.

"The Sleepless Temple? Isn't that where Her Majesty the Queen lives? Could it be that she..." The salesperson covered their mouth, surprised that the Queen would patronize their store.

"Mother, so cool!" Baixi thought to herself and then followed Iris out of the pet store.

"Mother is really kind to Aunt! When can Mother give me a gift too?" Baixi approached, acting spoiled.

"It will happen," Iris gently stroked her head, "You are my only daughter, how can I forget you?"

"Hehe." Baixi happily rubbed her hands together.

If Mother doesn't dote on Yingling, who will? Could she rely on Lilia, who can't even keep her word?

...

Back at the Sleepless Temple, Iris handed the lion cat to Baixi, "Yingling is in the infirmary. Wrap the lion cat up and give it to her. Don't say it's bought by me, say it's bought by you."

"Got it. Mother, aren't you going?" Baixi took the lion cat and asked curiously.

"I still have important matters to attend to," Iris said indifferently.

"Oh!" Baixi nodded, though she was still young, she vaguely guessed something.

Then she left the hall with the lion cat and headed towards the dressing room.

...

Inside the dressing room, Baixi found a red ribbon and wrapped it around the lion cat's neck, tying it into a bow.

She then took out an empty box and put the lion cat in it, "Little guy, don't move around. You must listen to Aunt's words, or else I'll eat you."

"Meow..." The lion cat understood Baixi's words and let out a low purr.

Baixi was a Warcraft, naturally able to communicate with a cat.

She then placed the lion cat in the box, wrapped it up with the red ribbon, and headed towards the direction of the infirmary.

Mother is so stubborn! Acting cold and indifferent in front of Aunt every day.

Always scaring Aunt with cold words, threatening her with statements like daring to be lazy, and if she doesn't do well, she'll be discarded. This makes Aunt always cautious, not daring to be negligent.

From a macro perspective, Mother is very good to Aunt. Training hard during peacetime ensures less bloodshed during war. As an older sister, Mother's protectiveness towards Aunt is protection for the future, something Aunt probably can't comprehend.

From Aunt's perspective, Mother is a villain, a complete villain. Always using various means to force Aunt, making her have to train desperately in order to survive.

Although Baixi told Yingling that Iris is her biological sister, she probably wouldn't believe it. After all, Mother is so strict with Aunt, she would instinctively think that Mother is a wicked person with a malicious heart, even calling her sister is seen as forced.

The Love-Hate Relationship Between the Arrogant Older Sister and the Annoying Younger Sister!

Hmm...What an interesting theme!

...

Baixi came to the infirmary with a box to visit Yingling.

At this moment, Yingling sat on the bed, her body leaning against the bed back, her beautiful eyes gazing outside the window, looking sad.

Yingling didn't know what her fate would be next. Would she be killed by her non-blood-related sister, or would she be abandoned?

She couldn't imagine!

"Niece, I greet Auntie!" Baixi pushed open the door and walked into the room, bowing to Yingling on the bed.

"Baixi sister, why are you here?" Yingling calmed her emotions, turned around, looked at Baixi, and forced a smile on her face.

"Auntie, what happened to you? Are you feeling bad?" Baixi asked.

"No." Yingling answered, "By the way, Auntie, please don't call me Auntie anymore. I have no blood relation with the lady. Just call me Yingling."

"How can that be?" Baixi shook her head and said, "Hierarchy is very important among vampires. In the same generation, as long as the other party is older than you, you should show respect as the junior. Moreover, we are not of the same generation, so these rules still need to be followed. There is a saying in the vampire world, 'elder sister like a mother, elder brother like a father'. Calling me Baixi sister is the most appropriate."

"No, I just took advantage of you. If it weren't for you, Baixi sister, I would have died long ago, let alone I have been drinking your blood for three years. It's only right to call you elder sister." Yingling said.

"Alright, alright, it's up to you!" Baixi didn't want to argue with Yingling any longer. She then took out a gift box and handed it to Yingling, "Yingying, this is a gift for you. Open it and see, I guarantee that you will like it."

Yingling opened the gift box, and what appeared in front of her eyes was a white lion cat with yellow pupils.

She couldn't help reaching out and touching the fur of the lion cat; the fur was very soft, like satin.

"Meow..." The lion cat meowed, then began to rub its head against Yingling's palm, apparently enjoying the feeling of her touch.

Yingling was completely smitten by this lion cat, and then she put it on her lap, gently stroking its head.

"So well-behaved!" Yingling exclaimed.

"Meow..."

The lion cat tried hard to please its owner, so it could escape the fate of being eaten by monsters.

The biggest wish in life is to live longer, and it's the same for cats.

"Is this for me?" Yingling looked up and asked.

"Of course." Baixi replied, then added, "Auntie can give it a name."

Yingling nodded, "Let's call it Little Snowball."

"Meow, meow." Little Snowball made an excited sound.

"A nice name. Little Snowball." Baixi smiled.

Although she received the gift, the gloom in Yingling's heart still lingered. She understood that she didn't have the ability to feed Little Snowball, and if her non-blood-related sister knew about this little cat, she might increase the training on top of the daily training, and how much training would determine Little Snowball's cat food.

"Baixi sister, you should take care of Little Snowball. I don't have the ability to feed it." Yingling said.

These words stunned Baixi. She didn't expect Yingling to respond like this, a five-year-old niece who was so considerate.

"It's okay, you can keep it. I will send cat food to you. From now on, you are Little Snowball's owner. Niece hopes that Auntie can be more optimistic and not worry about this anymore." Baixi smiled.

"But...you will be punished by the lady." Yingling said worriedly.

"It's fine, don't worry about me. Just take care of it, no need to worry about me." Baixi said confidently.

"Thank you, Baixi sister." Yingling smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and then Baixi left.
