Chaos flew past the city walls with blood wings outspread, and the guards all bowed as they saw the queen.

"No need for formalities, you are all good men, protecting this city for me," Chaos scanned the crowd with a gentle gaze.

"Yes!" they all exclaimed in unison, nodding their heads in agreement.

Chaos nodded and transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the ticket booth to buy a teleportation ticket. The ticket seller looked at the queen in astonishment, never expecting her to come and buy a ticket herself.

"Your Majesty, you can go directly to the teleportation array, there is no need to buy a ticket," the ticket seller said respectfully.

"There must be rules, since I have set them, I should abide by them," Chaos smiled and handed her the money.

After buying the ticket, Chaos headed straight to the location of the teleportation array.

As Chaos stepped into the teleportation array, a white light enveloped her body. When the light dissipated, she had already left the capital, arriving at the teleportation point in Nightless City.

Chaos looked at her left hand, which always blocked Iris whenever she tried to harm the Seraph. Iris was never able to hurt the Seraph because of her left hand's interference. Her left hand seemed to have its own consciousness; otherwise, how could it hinder Iris?

At that time, Iris couldn't control the White Flame, or rather, the White Flame refused to listen to her. When the fiery chains were about to bind the Seraph, the White Flame suddenly appeared, helping the Seraph escape the predicament at that time. The White Flame followed the chains and burned Iris's body.

"What is going on? Why is my own flame unwilling to obey her commands?" Chaos frowned, puzzled by the situation.

It seemed that the Seraph and Iris both used the same gun technique, so they should be fellow disciples, right? While Iris was unconscious, the White Flame continued to burn her body. When the Seraph approached, she said, "Sister, I forgive you." The White Flame then extinguished, presumably forbidding disciples from fighting each other. The White Flame had consciousness and could judge the right and wrong between the two, thus choosing to protect the Seraph.

From a fair perspective, it shouldn't have helped the Seraph. It was obvious that the Seraph had attacked Iris first, yet the White Flame not only didn't punish the Seraph but also aided her in doing wrong.

"Ah..." Chaos sighed, feeling speechless. No matter how she guessed, she couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

The White Flame has consciousness...

It should be aware of Iris's recovery ability, knowing that even if she is injured, her skin and flesh will easily heal. However, it's different for the Seraph. If she gets injured, it would take several days or even longer to fully recover. The Seraph didn't use her full strength, so clearly, she understood the restrictions of the White Flame.

Back at the palace, Chaos controlled Iris to help her clean the sword, and as for her body, she let Iris take care of it herself.

Changing into pajamas, Chaos lay on the bed and released control over Iris's body. With that, Chaos entered a state of sleep.

The afternoon sun shone through the window, casting its light on the fair face of the silver-haired girl who lay unconscious, giving her skin a radiant glow.

At that moment, the window was opened, and with Lilia's assistance, Lily climbed in. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Iris lying on the bed and became stunned.

Lilia tiptoed closer and sat on the edge of the bed, silently watching Iri. She reached out her index finger and gently stroked Iri's delicate and smooth cheek. Her lips moved as she softly murmured, "Iri..."

Lilia withdrew her finger, wondering why Iri was still sleeping. Normally at this time, she should be practicing.

Hmm... She must be tired from her training and wants to sleep in.

Although Lilia didn't understand training, she had heard Lanzu say that it was a tiring process and shouldn't be disturbed.

Lilia pulled the blanket up and neatly covered Iri, placing a cat-shaped pillow about 30 centimeters in size by her bedside.

Iri's sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, and Lilia couldn't help but lean down and kiss her forehead. Before leaving, Lilia lowered the curtains to prevent the harsh sunlight from disturbing Iri's rest.

After doing all this, Lilia silently jumped out of the window, closing it quietly behind her.

"Sister, why did you stay in Iris's room for so long today?" Lanzu asked.

"I was watching Iri. She's sleeping so soundly," Lilia replied.

Lanzu nodded without further questioning, and instead held her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat."

"Great!" Lilia exclaimed excitedly.

The two sisters left the sleeping quarters and headed towards the dining hall.

Lanzu noticed that Kablooie was not in the palace, indicating that she had already safely left.

...

The White Stork Empire.

Night Demon and Blood Roar led the Ruined Land Alliance army back to the White Stork Empire.

During the return journey, Night Demon's face became increasingly grim, eventually turning deathly pale, with sweat covering her entire face.

Blood Roar wanted to ask what was wrong, but Night Demon pushed him away, clearly not wanting to tell him the reason.

After returning to the White Stork Empire, Night Demon locked herself in the sleeping quarters and silently went into seclusion to cultivate.

Blood Roar was extremely worried, but he didn't dare to approach Night Demon to talk. It would be disastrous if he angered his elder sister.

In the meeting room, Blood Roar informed Faceless and Pharaoh about the situation.

After pondering for a moment, Faceless said, "Do you remember when we were on the Ruined Land continent, and I carried Night Demon back home, she woke up behaving like this?"

Both Dark Magic and Blood Roar nodded in agreement. That experience was still fresh in their memories, as it was a shadow that belonged to Night Demon.

Faceless continued, "Back then, Night Demon was too proud to tell anyone about what happened."

"Don't keep us in suspense. What exactly did Night Demon go through at that time?" Blood Roar anxiously asked. He couldn't stand Faceless teasing like this.

Sighing, Faceless explained, "At that time, Night Demon was defeated within ten moves by Martial Angel. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have died on the spot."

"So what? It's normal to not be able to beat Martial Angel," Blood Roar said in confusion. Night Demon was already formidable to withstand ten moves. If it were him, he probably wouldn't even last three moves against Martial Angel.

Shaking his head, Faceless clarified, "At that time, Martial Angel was already weak, and Night Demon was at her peak. Night Demon, being proud, was defeated in ten moves by Martial Angel, which must have left a deep impact on her."

Blood Roar suddenly realized and said, "Since then, Night Demon has been working hard every day, striving to improve herself and hoping to defeat Martial Angel."

"When Martial Angel appeared on the city wall, Night Demon had no fighting spirit and ordered a retreat without any engagement."

"Well, shadows do have some influence, I can understand that, no need to be too harsh." Black Law consoled.

"Night Demon has a strong bat perception. The stronger the vibrations, the higher her danger level," Faceless said seriously. "When Martial Angel appeared, the bat perception was too strong and she instinctively sensed the danger."

"Tell me, what is Shuowang Empire exactly? So that we can prepare accordingly." Black Law changed the topic, avoiding discussing Night Demon.

No one can help Night Demon overcome this shadow, only she can do it herself.

Blood Howl briefly explained, Shuowang Empire possesses powerful weapons that make a 'biubiu' sound, equivalent to magic from Shunfa.

"Stop!" Faceless raised his hand to stop him, saying, "You already reported this last time, no need to repeat it."

"Uh..." Blood Howl's mind was slow, being questioned by Faceless, he scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "Okay."

After a momentary pause, Blood Howl continued, "Black Law's defense crystal can withstand these 'biubiu' sound weapons, and the vampire's defensive formation can also block them."

"In the war campaign, we encountered scarecrows, skeleton soldiers..." Before Blood Howl could finish, Black Law interrupted directly, "Is it the scarecrow from that horror story? Its body is made of a combination of machinery and straw, with a black and red sickle in its left hand and a steel claw in its right?"

"Yes, that's the one." Blood Howl excitedly said, "I feel that the scarecrow's strength is not strong, and it is very foolish..."

"Just like you?" Faceless suddenly interjected.

Blood Howl paused for a moment, then reacted, "Just like you!"

"Blood Howl, continue, and Faceless, don't interrupt." Black Law said sternly.

Faceless nodded, didn't say anything else, patiently listened, but his gaze always fell on Blood Howl.

Blood Howl continued, "It was indescribable, it only targeted our Ruined Land Alliance warriors and ignored anyone approaching from behind. Every time it killed someone, it would simulate the last words of the deceased. At that time, arrows flew towards it, securely embedded in its body without causing any harm."

"At that moment, when I was about to attack the scarecrow, a black spear intercepted me. The spear tip had black patterns on it and emitted a deep roar, like a wild beast."

"Black spear?" Faceless furrowed his brows, thinking. "It should be a demon hunter."

After a fierce battle, I gained the upper hand, and Big Sis discovered that the scarecrow's weak point was the red light emitting from its chest. I repelled the demon hunter and rushed towards the scarecrow again.

At this point, Blood Howl slammed the table and asked the two of them, "Guess what happened next?"

Faceless and Black Law looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to continue.

Another white sickle appeared in front of the scarecrow, and at the same time, its owner summoned countless skeleton soldiers to protect it.

I was surrounded and Night Demon wanted to bring Little Sis back. Her guardian was Martial Angel, and then she ordered a retreat.

"It seems like you encountered the demon of death and the demon hunter," Faceless analyzed.

At this moment, Black Law was pondering with his chin in his hand. After a while, he suddenly looked up.

"Little Sis is not simple! She managed to make Martial Angel her guardian, both demons and the scarecrow obey her commands. How did she do it?"

"Sister, Little Sister's eyes are almost identical to Father's. Little Sister must have inherited Father's control abilities, otherwise how could she command demons and angels," Blood Roar sighed.

Faceless nodded in approval, "Seems like you've made progress, much smarter than before."

"Hehe~" Blood Roar chuckled foolishly, saying, "You guys always say I'm dumb, but actually I'm not dumb at all, just sometimes I can't see things clearly."

"In short, we need to let Little Sister know that we are siblings so she won't misunderstand us. Then it will be easier to take over the Shuowang Empire and seize its resources."

"What if Little Sister doesn't believe us?" Blood Roar asked another idiotic question.

"What does belief or disbelief have to do with it? We have the same bloodline and can resonate in a special way," Black Magic rolled his eyes and said, "Just need to drop some blood into a container and use a secret technique to establish resonance."
