Three days later, beside the security guard at the entrance of the casino, there was a young man named Beezelbub accompanying him.
At this moment, Beezelbub had a cigarette in his mouth, casually looking at the crowd around him.
"Damn fox! Actually made this demon come here to watch the casino entrance." Beezelbub looked at the entrance and angrily threw the cigarette on the ground, stomping on it fiercely.
"Beezelbub, what are you doing?" The security guard looked at Beezelbub's actions and asked displeasedly.
"I'm watching the door." Beezelbub looked at the security guard and answered with some frustration.
"Beezelbub, don't pollute the environment around the casino, especially with your habit of littering cigarette butts. If the gamblers see it, they might complain about you. This is a high-end casino, both in terms of environment and service. If Boss Ali sees it, he will definitely deduct your salary." The security guard reminded him.
Beezelbub pouted, looked around, and whispered to the security guard, "Ali is my colleague, maybe in a couple of days, I'll be the casino manager. If you can be nicer to me, maybe I can promote you to be a security team leader or something."
"Ah..." The security guard sighed, patted Beezelbub's shoulder, and said, "Young man, don't indulge in unrealistic dreams. You're still young, being a security team leader or something is totally within your reach." After saying that, the security guard ignored Beezelbub and turned to attend to his duties.
Upon hearing the security guard's words, Beezelbub felt speechless. He thought to himself, "What qualifications does a security guard have to educate me? When I become the general manager, I'll make you clean the toilets."
After silently cursing the security guard in his heart, Beezelbub went to his post and started working.
After all, he signed a work contract and had to follow the provisions of the contract.
At this time, Ali walked out of the casino and came in front of Beezelbub, saying, "Beezelbub, do your job well."
Ali gave Beezelbub an encouraging glance and then gave him two bags of bear-shaped cookies, saying, "Consider this a reward for the boring times."
After Ali finished speaking, he turned and walked back into the casino.
Beezelbub watched Ali's receding figure and a glimmer of resentment flashed in his eyes. He picked up the bear cookies on the table and viciously started munching on them.
"When I become the Gambling God, I'll buy this casino directly," Beezelbub said fiercely after swallowing the cookies in his hand.
...
Time flew by and soon it was the new year. Nightless City was particularly lively this year, filled with the strong atmosphere of Chinese New Year everywhere in the city.
Yar's management ability was strong, and he was able to handle various matters of the Shuowang Empire in an orderly manner, which made Iris very satisfied.
As long as Yar had things to do, he wouldn't bother Iris. During this time, Iris focused on practicing the Yin Kong Spear Art. Now she had reached the fourth level and was continuously consolidating her cultivation.
Ling was able to control the power of coexistence within her body independently and was practicing the "Forget-Me-Not" sword technique passed down to her by oblivion.
Baiying was learning hunting skills from Merice and diligently practiced. Her combat experience was becoming more and more abundant, and her strength was growing rapidly.
In various Warcraft forests, the seventh-level demons that are about to advance are deliberately holding back from advancing. The demons are afraid of a white dragon, whose terror is evident to all.
Since being provoked by Iris, Baixi has not returned to the palace. Every day, she either fights with seventh-level demons or is on her way to fight. She absolutely cannot let Baiying surpass her. If that happens, it would be too embarrassing.
Seeing that everything in the Shuowang Empire is running smoothly, Iris puts her mind at ease.
"There are five days until New Year's Eve. Baixi, Baiying, and Sister Merice should be able to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. We can have a reunion dinner then," Iris murmurs softly as she looks at the snowy scenery outside the window.
Before New Year's Eve, Iris plans to visit the White Stork Empire and see Singri. It has been almost four years since she last saw Singri. She must have blossomed into a graceful young girl.
After a moment, Iris packs some cultivation tools into her storage ring and prepares to set off for the White Stork Empire to find Singri.
Due to Iris's crimson pupils becoming golden red, she is able to blend into human society as an elf. As for her sharp little tiger teeth, she can disguise them with warlock magic.
As for why she doesn't use the identity of Night White, it's because she is being wanted everywhere by Lilia, causing everyone to know that Night White is the Princess of the Blood.
If she were to use the Night White identity again, it would probably bring unnecessary trouble to Iris.
Iris arrives at the teleportation array and says to the guard, "Teleport to the nearest teleportation point to the White Stork Empire." Then she walks into the teleportation array.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon receiving Iris's order, the guard immediately teleports to a telestation close to the White Stork Empire.
Accompanied by a ripple of white, Iris's figure appears in a hospital.
"Where is this?" Iris looks at the familiar building, slightly puzzled. She remembers that she had been to this hospital before.
"Damn it!" Iris couldn't help but curse. She remembered where this place was.
This is Agsas's Heartless Hospital. She used to sell a bag of blood here as Night White, and it brought back some unpleasant memories.
But soon Iris adjusts herself. Since it has been four years, she no longer cares about these things. Iris looks at the hospital, takes a deep breath, and then steps inside.
At this moment, a nurse walks out from inside and walks towards Iris, bowing and saluting, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"At ease." Iris says indifferently, then sits down on a chair and looks at the nurse.
"Why did Your Majesty come to the hospital in person?" the nurse asks in surprise. She looks around and doesn't see anyone suspicious, so she has the courage to speak.
"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Iris replies, then looks at the nurse.
"No! I didn't mean that. I'm just worried about Your Majesty's safety. Your safety is more important than anything else." The nurse quickly kneels down, speaking with fear and trepidation.
"I came here half a year ago. It was a ruin at that time. Why has it been restored now?" Iris's doubts rise again, and she asks.
"Your Majesty, before you ascended to the throne as Empress, the White Stork Empire was attacked by the barbaric Ruined Land tribe and was left in ruins. The Bimong tribe destroyed this place completely. At that time, there was a basement beneath the hospital, which contained emergency food supplies, allowing us to survive," the nurse replied quickly.
"Oh, I see." Iris nodded, her doubts slowly dissipating.
In recent months, she had been corresponding with Qizhou through letters, learning about the multiple attacks by the Ruined Land tribe on the White Stork Empire. These barbarians targeted the White Stork Empire because they knew it was relatively weak. However, with the help of neighboring empires, Sun and Moon Empire and Azure Moon Empire, the White Stork Empire managed to withstand the attacks and maintain stability.
Through frequent correspondence with Qizhou, she also learned that the ruler of the Crescent Empire, Your Majesty, was the eighth-ranked Steel Angel, Tadefin, in the angel hierarchy.
Considering their overall strength, it was indeed the best choice for the Ruined Land tribe to invade the White Stork Empire.
