Iris carried Lilia's body to the shrine and placed it on a cushion. She slowly pulled out the dagger from Lilia's heart and wiped the blood stains off with a towel. After completing these tasks, Iris gently touched Lilia's forehead and silently gazed at her face. At that moment, she felt a deep sense of emptiness in her heart. This empty feeling was probably due to the debt she owed to the other person, an inability to repay. It was not exactly a feeling of powerlessness, as this person was already separated from her in life and death; it was more of an indescribable sensation. If Ling knew about this, would she consider herself a bad person? Iris had the ability to save Lilia, but she chose to kill the shape-shifter, which ultimately led to Lilia committing suicide. Ling would certainly hate her for being a sister like this.

Just then, Iris noticed a faint smile at the corners of Lilia's mouth, perhaps indicating her unwillingness to let her daughter's efforts go to waste or to let her sister conflict with herself and her daughter. Paying the price of life in exchange for the relationship between Iris and Lanzu and the death of the shape-shifter. Iris gently grabbed Lilia's hand and used the warmth of her palm to soothe Lilia's already cold skin.

Six hours passed... The sun rose in the east, and a ray of light shone through the window into the shrine, extending to Iris's palm, allowing her to feel the warmth. She suddenly looked up, thinking that Lilia had awakened. But it turned out to be the sunlight teasing her. "So it's dawn," Iris wiped her eyes and unconsciously shed tears, continuing to lower her head and gaze at Lilia. Her mood remained complicated.

"The sound of the funeral horn for vampire girls signifies a new beginning. Don't be sad, everyone will experience this day, it's just that we can't hear the funeral horn," Chaos's deep voice appeared next to Iris's ear, filled with comfort.

"To be honest... I'm not very sad, but I always feel guilty towards Lilia... After she lost her memory, I ignored her. Later, I tried to reach out to her, but it was also a way for me to temper my temper. During the process, I found that she was no longer the same as before," Iris confided her inner thoughts to Chaos. "You know I don't like owing favors, but this favor I can never repay in this lifetime."

Chaos listened to Iris's grievances like a caring father. As a qualified father, he would naturally find a way to help his proud daughter. "Who said you can't repay it? Do it in this lifetime!" Chaos's low voice carried a hint of teasing, clearly doing it on purpose to listen to his daughter's complaints.

"You tricked my emotions!" Iris couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Who tricked your emotions? I've always said: the sound of the funeral horn signifies a new beginning. It's your fault for not listening carefully to what I say. Blame me," Chaos's words made Iris imagine him shrugging his shoulders, expressing helplessness.

"Tell me the method to resurrect Lilia, and I'll forgive you," a smile finally blossomed on Iris's face. She knew that resurrecting Lilia was not difficult.

"Resurrect? What are you thinking? Resurrection is impossible. It should be called reincarnation. Lilia will start anew with her memories," Chaos replied.

"Fine, then reincarnate her. Hurry up and tell me the method!" Iris urged Chaos impatiently.

"The method might be a bit painful, but you will be happy with the results," Chaos said mysteriously. "When your right hand touches Lilia's body, my Chaos Lock will absorb her soul into it. Then, with the vampire secret technique combined with the guidance of black flames, Lilia will complete her rebirth."

"Doesn't this mean that I am Lilia's reincarnated mother? If she regains her memory, I can play with her. If she doesn't, I will treat her well," Iris murmured to herself, unable to suppress her perverse interest.

What's a little pain compared to giving birth?

"As long as you're not afraid of pain!" Chaos felt delighted, knowing that he would be a grandmother in ten months.

Although Chaos had no physical form, he could reshape his body once Iris found the magic sword. If that didn't work, he would ask Iris to lend him control over her body.

Lilia had done wrong in the past, but as her grandchild, Chaos didn't hold any hatred towards her. If Lilia could regain her memory, it would be interesting to see her frantic appearance as Iris's successor.

In Iris's mind, images from the past emerged: learning etiquette, reciting family rules, greeting morning and night, and presenting birthday gifts to the beloved mother.

Fortunes always change, but all this hinged on Lilia regaining her memory.

Iris sat cross-legged on the cushion, the black flame guiding the soul within Chaos Lock, allowing Lilia's soul to enter Iris's abdomen.

Through the keyhole of Chaos Lock, chains of black and red flames connected Iris's abdomen.

She clenched her lips, her hands held something in front of her, as if performing an ancient ritual.

Lilia's soul was entering Iris's abdomen through the chains of flames. On the surface of Iris's abdomen, the black flame grew more intense, as if emitting a low growl. The chains began to tremble, producing an ear-piercing sound of metal friction.

Iris's heartbeat accelerated. This combination of nerves and anticipation made her stiff, as if she could collapse at any moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Iris's face grew paler, cold sweat streamed down her temples, wetting her silver hair.

Her body gradually became rigid, with continuous stiffness and sudden spasms in her skeletal muscles.

She gritted her teeth, silently enduring the excruciating pain.

"Don't be nervous, relax..." Chaos's voice sounded in Iris's ear, gradually calming her down. "This process is very dangerous. Lilia could stillborn inside you."

"Um." Iris softly murmured, trying to maintain a calm demeanor.

Suddenly, a wave of intense pain struck Iris's abdomen, as if someone was wrenching her stomach forcefully. In agony, she groaned and clenched her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead.

"Chaos, can you use the black flames to shield the pain for me? I can't hold on much longer," Iris gritted her teeth and struggled to speak.

"No! It would have a negative impact on Lilia's soul. The child born out of this might have intellectual disabilities or even lose both lives," Chaos flatly rejected Iris's suggestion. He couldn't let anything happen to Iris.

If anything went wrong, Chaos would protect Iris.

After what seemed like an eternity, the chains of flames returned to the Chaos Lock.

"Phew~" Iris exhaled a rough breath, she was completely exhausted from the pain, with cold sweat drenching her clothes. She was completely limp on the cushion, devoid of any strength, unable to even move an inch.

This process was long and agonizing! No wonder Lilia chose to conceive a child through the initial embrace rather than using the secret method to conceive.

"Vampire girl, you can't think like that! Lilia's pain is definitely lighter than yours, the pain of the soul transferring into the abdomen is a hundred times worse than the pain Lilia endured carrying Ling!" Chaos opened his mouth and delivered a blow to Iris's heart.

Ever since their son became their daughter, Chaos had wondered if their little cabbage would be picked by someone.

Now, not only was their little cabbage not picked, but they could also even become a grandmother. The secret technique of the vampire royal family for conceiving heirs was quite interesting.

Because Iris was too weak, she had to call Baixi for help through the Consciousness Space: "Baixi, come quickly to the temple."

At the same time, Baixi was playing with Federer in the study, feeding Federer spicy rabbit head, making Federer more obedient to her.

"Turn into a little doggy."

As Baixi's words fell, Federer transformed from a black sphere into a three-eyed hellhound. Its size was not much different from the original sphere.

"So obedient!"

Baixi reached out to gently stroke the hellhound's head, secretly pleased in her heart: "I should steal Mother's little pet later."

At this moment, Baixi received a message from her mother. She rushed to the temple as fast as she could, pushed open the door, and saw her mother and grandmother lying on the cushion.

"Huh?" Baixi was quite puzzled, there was a perfectly good bed but they chose to sleep in the temple. Could it be that the Queen Mother and Grandmother were engaged in some kind of ritual to improve their relationship?

This kind of relationship naturally involved feeding on each other, which greatly increased the bond between the Queen Mother and the Grandmother.

Of course.

These were all things Baixi accidentally read in a book.

"Mother, you look so weak! Did you and Grandmother engage in feeding too frequently last night?" Baixi bent down and lightly poked Iris's soft and tender face with her slender and flexible fingers.

After hearing this, Iris wished she could kick Baixi's butt. This person was becoming more and more shameless, actually saying that she and Lilia engaged in feeding each other.

Unfortunately, Iris was too weak now, even moving was quite difficult.

Iris merely glared at her, and Baixi silently averted her gaze. Clearly, she knew that she had touched a nerve with her mother, so she wisely avoided the topic.

"Help me up." Iris's tone was faint.

"Mother, your voice is so soft, I can't hear a thing." Baixi almost had to press her ear against Iris's pale lips.

Iris glanced sideways at Baixi, and Baixi immediately sensibly withdrew her body, moving her ear away from Iris's lips.

"Why are you so slow and foolish today?" Iris scolded Baixi angrily through the Consciousness Space, "I told you to help me up, and yet you're just dawdling there?"

Iris knew Baixi's habits well, this person was starting to act out of line again.

"Yes, yes!" Baixi quickly followed her instructions, carefully helping Iris sit up.

Iris rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh. The sigh seemed to carry a sense of helplessness and exhaustion, causing Baixi's heart to tighten. She cautiously asked, "Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Iris still appeared extremely weak.

"Then why did you sigh?" Baixi gathered her courage to ask.

Iris glanced at her, paused for a moment, seemingly weighing whether or not to tell Baixi something. After a while, she spoke, "Come closer and listen."

Baixi promptly followed her mother's instructions, leaning in and holding her breath, waiting for Iris' explanation.

Iris bit down on Baixi's ear and used the Consciousness Space to inform her, "I'm not telling you."

"Ah! It hurts, Mother! Why did you bite me?" Baixi exclaimed.

"It wasn't hard, why are you making a fuss? Are you trying to extort me again?" Iris replied with a teasing tone in her eyes.

When it came to teasing her daughter, Iris was truly a master like Lilia.

While rubbing her sore ear, Baixi muttered in a small voice, "How can I dare to extort you, Mother? You always love teasing me..."

Iris smiled faintly and weakly said, "Take me back to my bedroom, I can't walk anymore."

"Yes, Mother!" Baixi quickly and carefully lifted Iris, holding her gently as if she were carrying a child.

Iris leaned against Baixi's embrace, closing her eyes to rest along the way, appearing extremely fatigued. Baixi looked at the mother in her arms, her eyes closed, long and curled eyelashes casting a row of shadows on her eyelids.

Once they reached the bedroom, Baixi gently placed Iris on the bed, then bowed and bid her farewell before going to the ancestral hall to pay respects to the Grandmother.
