Chapter 7 Demoness Iris
Chapter 7 Demoness Iris
The woman was beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.
Unlike the ethereal butterfly, which appears tangible and indifferent, the woman exudes a unique allure from head to toe, emanating from every smile and frown.
The woman stood up, took a few steps, and quietly arrived beside Huan Die, her fair and slender fingers slowly sliding across Huan Die's smooth skin.
A pair of alluring phoenix eyes, seemingly capable of bewitching anyone, gazed at Huan Die with teary eyes. Her voice was plaintive and plaintive as she said, "Sister Huan Die, you haven't come to see your sister for so long. Your sister is so sad. If you don't believe me, feel it."
As she spoke, the woman pulled the girl's small, delicate hand towards her own turbulent heart.
The girl quickly withdrew her hand, glanced at the object unconsciously a few times, then immediately lowered her head and whispered, "I believe you, Iris-sister."
"You're not being honest!"
Iris smiled and extended her long, slender fingers, lifting the girl's chin and bringing her close to her ear. "Tired of playing? Want to go home?"
A wisp of heat brushed against the girl's earlobe, sending shivers down her spine.
"Giggle giggle!"
Iris chuckled and pulled the girl back to the sofa, forcefully pressing the girl's head onto her lap. Stroking her hair, she slowly said, "If you don't want to go home, then you want your sister to help you suppress the abyssal energy in Violet Star."
"Why bother! Every time I see the shattered Violet Star, its broken and dilapidated state breaks my heart."
"..."
The girl did not speak; Iris was one of the Abyss Demonesses.
She was also the one who cared for her the most after she was parasitized by the Abyss Illusion Butterfly and turned into a demon princess.
However, unlike the Demoness, Iris, who sent her back to the abyss before,
Even after she defected, the Demon Princess Iris still took good care of her, helping her conceal her aura and suppress the abyssal energy.
Even for her 'incomprehensible' fantasy of 'wanting to live a normal life in the city as an ordinary human,' Iris opened a tea shop in Yeqiu City, just so that Illusionary Butterfly could easily find her when she couldn't suppress the abyss's aura, thus allowing Illusionary Butterfly to continue indulging in her fantasy in the human city.
The girl, being a demon princess, knows this from the perspective of the monsters in the abyss.
In their eyes, humans are like insects; it's easy to see how ridiculous one's thoughts are in their minds.
But she continued to support him silently as always, and it would have been even better if she hadn't made advances on him every time they met.
The girl understood that Iris's purpose was not pure. She was like an elder in the family, creating various conditions for you to fulfill your dreams, and then returning home with a wounded body. She would heal you, comfort you, and watch over you... standing by your side when you need help.
Once, twice, three times... countless times
Until you completely give up and realize that you and humans are two completely different species, you will finally return to her side.
Unconsciously, she lay on Iris's warm white legs in a daze, her nose lightly touching the softness, the fragrance of the stream and flowers filling her heart with a unique sense of comfort. Perhaps only at this moment could she truly give up all thoughts and immerse herself in it, because she knew that the other party would never harm her.
She vaguely remembered that the fragrance of irises seemed to be poisonous. The scent of roses was refreshing, but it was similar to that of oleander, which could make people fall asleep without realizing it, lose their ability to resist, and become addicted to it.
The girl subconsciously activated her Violet Star to try and resist, but found that the opponent's eerie green abyssal energy had already entered her Violet Star and was beginning to explore every corner of its core. Seeing this, the girl decisively gave up the idea of resisting. The opponent would not harm her, and thinking this, she fell into a deep sleep.
If she were still observing her Violet Star at this moment, she would be surprised to find the inky black Abyss Qi that used to tyrannize the Violet Star.
In no time, it was enveloped by a dark green mass and cleared from the core. Only after confirming that the two abyssal energies, which were like bandits, had left did the pure white magic power belonging to the magical girl carefully reclaim the position previously occupied by the abyssal energies.
The girl lying on her side on the iris's lap underwent a dramatic transformation. The curvaceous, aloof 1.6-meter-tall girl turned into a slender, flat-chested loli of 1.45 meters.
Her once-exposed white skin was now enveloped in a pale purple magical dress, and the deep patterns on her abdomen gradually faded and disappeared. Her long, dark purple hair turned pale purple, and her aura underwent a complete transformation, changing from alluring to holy in an instant.
The next moment, the girl's figure changed again, transforming from a magical girl back into a young man.
Iris seemed unfazed by this, gently cupping him in her delicate hands. Her exquisite and charming eyes were fixed on Bai Yuze's face, and she smiled slightly: "As expected of my good younger brother, you've become even more handsome."
In his sleep, Bai Yuze slept soundly. He dreamed that he had three older sisters who lived together, played together, foraged for food together, and were carefree.
Until a spatial rift appeared in his hometown, and everything changed instantly...
"No, that's not how it works!"
With a startled cry, Bai Yuze woke up. The room still held the faint fragrance of irises. The bright light made it hard for him to open his eyes, but he blinked and gradually adjusted.
A cup of warm tea is placed on the table, and a faint aroma of tea wafts out.
As he picked up the teacup, a warmth welled up in his heart, but then he remembered something and quickly suppressed it.
Looking around, he found himself lying on the sofa, his cursed armor gone, and he had returned to his original form. To his delight, the abyssal aura that used to give him splitting headaches was gone.
Even if it's only temporary...
"Little brother, do you still want to go home? If you want to stay with your sister, that's fine too!"
A charming and melodious female voice came from outside the house.
Bai Yuzhe shook his head, only then remembering that he still had to go home to cook for his sister. He checked his phone and saw that only half an hour had passed, but to him it felt like an eternity.
It was still early, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bai Youqing finds out he didn't come home all night, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause.
As the older brother, he was completely dominated by his younger sister.
How embarrassing!
Stepping out of the inner room, the guests had already left, and the living room lights were off.
A pink Ferrari, perfect for a girly look, was parked outside. Under the neon GG sign, the car body seemed to be coated with a faint halo.
The tall Iris sat in the driver's seat, having already changed her clothes.
A black, elegant gown completely covered her slender figure. Her black hair was held in place by a jade hairpin, revealing her fair and delicate face. Her slender legs were crossed, and she leaned back in her chair with her fists resting on her temples. A queenly aura emanated from her.
Iris patted the chair next to her with one hand, looking at him with a smile, like a seasoned veteran of love.
"Hurry up and get in. Stop dawdling and being so indecisive. I'll take you for a ride in a luxury car so you can gain some experience. Whether you want to drive a luxury car to pick up girls or sit in the passenger seat and cry with a woman, you won't look like a country bumpkin."
Bai Yuze's lips twitched. He felt that something was wrong with that sentence, but he didn't argue.
If he were to say that he would never cry while leaning on a woman, the other person would definitely be furious and indignant. Why is it that only girls can cry while leaning on a man's shoulder, but boys can't?
She knows how to shiver and feel cold.
The more she argued back, the more excited the other person became, and she enjoyed her own shy and embarrassed appearance.
Sure enough, seeing Bai Yuze silently get into the car without saying a word, Iris puffed out her cheeks, looking rather bored, and pouted, sighing, "Younger brothers aren't cute at all. It's definitely the corrupted younger sister who's the cutest."
Every time I just give her a light touch, hehe, her delicate little face turns as red as a little apple.
Bai Yuze pretended not to hear and sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought.
duang! duang!
His phone vibrated a few times in his pocket. He glanced at it and saw a message from his "good sister," demanding he pay for the tickets—one wasn't enough, he needed two...
Iris glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and could clearly see the smile that unconsciously appeared on Bai Yuze's lips. It was a smile that came from the heart, but when he was facing her, the smile he showed was mixed with too many different emotions.
When will Bai Yuze finally show me that familial smile...?
This discovery immediately made her phoenix eyes narrow.
Bai Yuzhe quickly noticed this slight change.
It wasn't that he had a keen intuition, but the sports car seemed to be going ridiculously fast, which was clearly caused by the owner venting his emotions.
"Um... Sister Iris, how about we exchange contact information?"
Bai Yuze hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke. In the years since he returned to Yeqiu City, Iris had never contacted him or affected his life. He was usually the one who sought her help, even though their identities were opposed.
However, this way of troubling others when you need them and then kicking them away when you don't need them is somewhat inhumane.
"Oh, why did you suddenly remember to add my contact information?"
Iris exclaimed in surprise, her voice somewhat cold, clearly still angry, but she gradually slowed down the car.
"You've taken care of me all these years, so I'd like to treat you to a meal."
Seeing that the car speed had returned to normal, Bai Yuze couldn't help but sigh to himself, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea." She was perfectly fine the whole way, so why did she suddenly get so sulky?
"There's no need to add a contact method. You can just transform and contact me directly through the Abyss Network. If you don't like that, you can just grab any monster to deliver the message."
Iris paused for a moment, then turned to Bai Yuze with a smile, "Your place or a restaurant?"
"Go wherever you want!" Bai Yuze said hesitantly.
"Then let's go to your house. I've never met your sister before. I hope she's as cute as you."
"She had something to do, so it was just the two of us."
"o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o, a candlelight dinner with my brother, yay!"
Bai Yuzhe: "..."
Bai Yuzhe gazed at the woman's beautiful face, which was beaming with joy. He couldn't understand why Iris, a demon princess of the Abyss's elder level, would have emotions like a human.
Was the other person also human before?
The woman seemed to notice the young man's confusion and bewilderment. She didn't say anything more, but simply resumed her usual frivolous and alluring dangerous demeanor.
The intersection of Hongqiao Road is densely populated with people coming and going.
A cool pink Ferrari pulled up in the crowd. No matter where you are, a beautiful woman and a luxury car are sure to attract attention.
For a moment, the young man in the passenger seat became the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
"People's hearts have changed; the world is going to the dogs!"
"That's what the ancients said too, for a thousand or two thousand years."
...
Under the gazes of envy, jealousy, and pity, Bai Yuzhe got out of the car. Seeing that the other party did not leave immediately, he knew that the other party must still have something to say, so he stood there and waited.
As Iris sat in the driver's seat, her expression gradually returned to normal. Gazing at the bustling crowd at the intersection, she slowly spoke in a language that only creatures of the abyss could understand (Abyssal Language).
"Xiaobai, you need to understand that the moment you were parasitized by the Illusion Butterfly, you completely lost your human identity. All I can do is slow down this process."
Iris winked at him meaningfully.
With mixed feelings, Bai Yuze nodded to Iris and said softly, "I know."
After clearing the Violet Star once at the beginning, he didn't have to worry about the influence of the Abyss for half a year. But now it's about once every three months. If he kills too many Abyss Beasts, it will speed up the process and cause the Violet Star to be occupied by the Abyss.
"Hmph~"
Buzz!
Iris gave a soft hum, the sports car started, and disappeared into the colorful traffic amidst the various gazes of the crowd, vanishing without a trace.
Bai Yuze sighed after the pink sports car disappeared from sight; too many things had happened today.
We went into the supermarket and bought Bai Youqing's favorite seafood and vegetables. By the time we got home, it was already 8 p.m.
The whistling evening breeze swept through my body, carrying away the heat and restlessness in my heart, and I arrived at the foot of a rather old-looking apartment building.
This residential area is quite old. The trees provide shade, and the walls have been repainted again and again, but it still can't hide the decline in the number of people living here. The old iron gates of the apartment buildings are peeling off, revealing traces of rust.
Bai Yuzhe has lived here since he was born.
He had only been away from high school and university for a few years when his parents died in a car accident. After many twists and turns, he returned to this place and became a teacher at the school he had once attended.
It's not that he doesn't have the money to live on a better floor, but he's already used to it and doesn't like to change it. Moreover, the soaring prices in recent years have completely dispelled his idea of moving.
When I opened the door, the house was a complete mess, as if it had been burgled, with only the sound of the shower running from the bathroom.
"She just throws things around carelessly every day! She has no sense of neatness or tidiness whatsoever that a girl should have."
Bai Yuze complained, but his hands moved with incredible skill.
I threw my green dress, white shirt, and my own coat, which had a feminine feel to the washing machine, and added some Libai laundry detergent.
Washing machine—start!
The bra and panties were picked up and thrown into a pink basin next to her, waiting for her to deal with them herself.
I put on an apron and went into the kitchen to start processing the seafood and preparing to cook.
Just as I was putting the ribs into the rice cooker and preparing to chop the white radish, I heard muffled footsteps behind me.
"Brother, you're home."
The person arrived before the voice.
The next second, a faint strawberry scent wafted into his nostrils, and the girl hugged him tightly from behind, but quickly let go.
"The sun must have risen in the west! You actually called me 'brother' today, Bai Youqing, have you taken the wrong medicine?!"
Bai Yuze turned around, looking at the other person with a surprised expression, and subconsciously reached out to touch his sister's fair forehead.
"You're filthy, don't touch me."
Snapped!
Bai Youqing reached out and slapped away the other person's hand, which was covered in bits of meat and stardust, and said with a look of disgust, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"
However, after this commotion, much of the lingering fear in her heart disappeared.
Although my brother is weak and has a sharp tongue, he genuinely cares about me.
In order not to worry my brother, I must become stronger, protect my brother, protect all my seniors, and protect humanity!
Bai Youqing secretly made up her mind.
