You are all my wings!

She told herself that it must be a misunderstanding.

After all, Maggie didn't take off her clothes this time. Apart from her slender thighs being seen by Leon in a somewhat indecent pose, and the way Maggie opened her mouth, everything else was quite normal.

It's very common, nothing surprising.

This is normal, isn't it?

...What a load of rubbish!

When Lyon lifted the curtain to come in, his body visibly stiffened!

What is he so nervous about!

Could there have been something wrong between these two from the very beginning?

So, is the so-called "Master" Machiru just wishful thinking on her part?

Looking back now, Maggie said it from the beginning: she said that she and Leon were already in a soul-to-soul relationship.

How could I, this innocent little sprite, be so easily fooled by them?

Maggie Lu had just said that Leon and I were already a couple who were being intimate!

Was she saying that to lull me into a false sense of security?

Iris remained calm, calm, and calm again, waiting for Leon's response.

"Waaaaah, Iris, you must stand up for me, this poor slave!"

When Maggie Lu saw Iris arrive, a hint of smugness flashed across her face.

Hehe, I can't handle you, but Iris can't scare you?

After numerous exchanges and observations, Maggie Lu had to admit that Leon respected and cared for Iris more than he cared for himself.

"Oh, go on, I'm listening."

"Iris said coldly."

She decided to distance herself from Maggie Lu. That philandering cat was even trying to sow discord between me and Leon!

You must have seduced Leon first!

Upon hearing this, Maggie was shocked!

What happened? How did Iris suddenly revert to the pattern we first encountered?

Is this guy really that possessive?

I was just being played by Leon, it wasn't my fault!

"Iris, you've misunderstood."

Lyon spoke.

He turned to Iris while still holding Maggie:

"Look, I was just helping Maggie Lu work out her abs, I didn't do anything special."

"Working on abs?"

Iris froze. From the front, their actions seemed less suspicious.

However, this posture isn't exactly innocent either.

Although it was still suspicious, she felt a sense of relief upon hearing Leon's explanation.

Lyon knew that Iris was very suspicious due to her lack of experience and was easily influenced by external factors, so he said very seriously:

“Besides Machiru, Iris, you will also be subject to my daily training starting today, understand?”

"Daily exercise? Like Maggie?"

Although Iris chose to believe Leon, she immediately became wary of Maggie.

Even if there are no problems today, these two might cause problems in the future!

The values ​​Elise was raised with from childhood instilled in her the belief that a lifelong partnership is the best.

Therefore, even though she hasn't officially started a relationship with Leon yet, she knows she must quickly put away her previous complacency and treat all the women around Leon as rivals!

The previous composure came from becoming stronger.

The vigilance we feel now stems from a change in our mindset!

Maggie, congratulations! I, Iris, have awakened and will no longer indulge you!

Leon felt that Iris's eyes seemed to have ignited.

What is she burning?

“Iris, now that you’re here, it’s your turn to get some training. Machiru is going to participate in the floor master hunting event in Ophimaso.”

"Floor owner? A powerful sixth-tier Shadow Demon Spider? Lyon, aren't you going to participate?"

"Iris asked."

“Their teamwork is already very mature. I wouldn’t be able to make any contribution if I went there. I might as well continue my meditation practice here. Anyway, I still have plenty of food reserves.”

"I think it would be much easier for them to fight if you, Lyon, were in command."

"We'll talk about this later. Are you going to practice or not?"

"I want to practice!"

Iris smiled and approached Leon, then suddenly reached out and pulled away Leon's hand that was holding Maggie's small foot.

Maggie suddenly felt the sensation of her body being suspended in mid-air disappear.

"Thanks, Iris."

Maggie thanked her.

Then--

Iris flung her hand and threw Maggie onto the bed.

With a thud, Maggie rolled onto the bed.

"Oh, sorry, it was an accident. Maggie, are you alright?"

"pain."

Maggie Lu twisted and got up, then glared at Iris and sneered:

"Iris! Your friendship is nothing special. A small misunderstanding and you've thrown away the title of 'Master' that you used to talk about so much! You've become so cold! I once thought you would be a good friend, but now it seems I was overthinking it!"

Maggie was also heartbroken.

Having just been toyed with by Leon, she was unhappy, but she didn't actually reject it; in fact, she even felt a slight pleasure in it.

This made her feel a little guilty when Iris first sneered at her.

Because she had been adventuring with Leon these past few days, and occasionally teasing Iris, she felt as if she had left behind the Blood School, which was full of bloody struggles, and ushered in a wonderful life that she had longed for but had never experienced.

But with that throw, she suddenly felt that the illusion she had been living for the past few days had shattered.

Yes, I am still all alone, and I still need to survive alone in a dangerous environment.

She lowered her head, her eyes filled with loneliness and solitude.

Iris's emotions suddenly became complicated.

Maggie's words were so resolute, like a hammer, striking Iris's heart and sending a jolt through her!

Why did she say that?

Iris felt as if she had done something wrong, and she was filled with doubt and confusion.

She couldn't help but look at Lyon with pleading eyes, a faint mist rising in her eyes.

Maggie turned her head away, not looking at Iris.

Leon glanced at the two of them, then smiled slightly and reached out to pat Iris's head.

"Iris, what kind of person do you think Maggie is?"

"She... is smarter than me."

Iris couldn't help but answer in this way.

"anything else?"

“Aside from some personality issues, he should be a good person.”

Lyon nodded slightly and said:

"Very good, but if you ask me, Machiru is someone who has endured a lot of pain in the past and is still enduring pain far beyond the limits of her age. Furthermore, she is still someone who, despite enduring a lot of pain, yearns to strive and realize her ideals. Do you agree with that?"

Enduring a lot of pain?

Iris was stunned.

Beside her, Maggie's face also suddenly changed, as if Leon's words had struck her heart.

Chapter 167 How could someone like me be sad?

Leon's words not only plunged Iris into deep thought, but also stirred up waves in Machiru's heart.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lyon subtly changed.

What do you think, Iris?

"Leon asked."

"I do not know."

Iris shook her head: "These things are too heavy, they remind me of my mother, but I still know nothing about Maquill."

“I don’t need to recount the past to gain sympathy! Boring master, is this the only old stuff you want to say?”

Maggie continued to turn her head away and snorted.

Leon walked over and patted Maggie's head:

“Magical, sometimes you don’t have to put on such a brave face and no one will look down on you. This isn’t the Holy Blood School; there aren’t so many bloody battles here. I can see you’re really sad, can’t I?”

"Sad? How could I be sad?"

Maggie shouted:

"I am the only demon in this era! I possess a terrifying bloodline that even the ancient gods fear! I am also an unparalleled genius in the art of life alchemy! How could someone like me, someone like me, be sad!"

She turned her head away again, turning her back to Lyon, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Then, she felt a warm hand touch her and gently wipe away the tears that had fallen from the corner of her eye without her noticing.

It was Lyon's hand.

But for some reason, after wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she felt a surge of pent-up emotions in her chest, as if it were about to burst forth, instantly making her eyes moist and blurring everything in front of her, as if she had gone from a cloudy day to a rainy day.

She tried to hold back her tears, but ultimately couldn't control them.

Even though these eyes are clearly those of a demon, why are they still shedding tears uncontrollably?

How strange, even monsters shed tears.

"Don't look this way."

She said, with her back to Lyon:

"My eyes are demon eyes, with very strong characteristics. They're currently out of control, so don't get hurt."

"Silly child, it's not that your demonic eye is out of control, it's just that your emotions are out of control. The demonic eye has already merged into your body, it's already a part of you."

Lyon smiled, but didn't wipe away Maggie's tears again.

It's good to let loose.

He stood up and gestured to Iris with his eyes.

Iris was actually starting to regret it a little, but to be honest, she didn't want to change the decision she had just made.

After thinking it over and over, and hesitating for a moment, she finally walked towards Maggie.
