DEMON QUEEN

Red Mountain (3)

Xiao Ziya's journey towards the top of the red mountain was not over, the increasingly thickened poisonous mist blocking the girl's vision. Xiao Ziya walked using his instincts alone because his demonic eyes were not yet at a high level that could see through all things. After walking here and there he finally reached a place that was not covered by the poisonous fog.

"That's a good thing I was able to get out of there safely" said Xiao Ziya who felt very relieved.

Ziya had thought that only the poisonous fog alone made his journey to the red mountain difficult but suddenly the sky was getting blackened and rain was heavy enough because he felt something was wrong with that rain, Xiao Ziya coated his body using his black flames.

"It looks like it's acid rain, thankfully I noticed it early" said Xiao Ziya, who continued his journey until he reached the top of the red mountain.

Time passed by so quickly the morning came and strangely Xiao Ziya had yet to reach the top of the red mountain. When seen with the naked eye, the red mountain was not very high and it only took one day to reach its peak, somehow Xiao Ziya journey was longer than what he had anticipated.

"There seems to be something strange about this mountain. Because there was not a single tree that grew I became difficult to find a direction towards the top." said Xiao Ziya who just realized that from now on he just went around and got to the same point. Maybe if he gave a sign in every place he pijak will be easier to get to the top of the mountain but it takes a long time.

"Zier come out" said Xiao Ziya, who pulled the beloved tiger out of the ring. Zierpun came out with a happy face, he had not received orders from the young lady for a long time.

"I can finally get out, is there anything I can help you with?" said Zier with a happy face, Xiao Ziya was anxious with his daily behavior that he pinched Zier's cheek.

"It turns out that the young lady's pinch is quite sick" said Zier with a red face blushing like the tiger was embarrassed because it was treated like when he was a child.

Xiao Ziya climbed onto Zier's back and asked his beloved tiger to fly high, Zierpun flew as his young miss wished. Xiao Ziya looked down and looked towards the red mountain, it was true that there was a pattern of labyrinths that made him stray.

"It is fitting that I do not reach the top immediately" Xiao Ziya said with an upset face, if he knew this from the beginning then the journey would be faster.

"Zier please take me to the top of the red mountain" Xiao Ziya said, pointing towards the top of the red mountain. The tiger flew at high speed towards the spot pointed by his young lady.

Zier landed in a safe place because the top of the red mountain is a very large hole with hot rocks and lava that can burn anyone until the body disappears. Xiao Ziya observed towards that huge hole, why would there be a volcano that could appear in the underworld whether this was purely the will of nature alone or there was interference from immoral human beings.

"It looks like this mountain is about to erupt, let's go downstairs and make some protection" Xiao Ziya, who was already on Zier's back, said, flying at high speed. Upon seeing the encampment the Xiao Ziya warrior asked Zier to go downstairs.

"You guys hurry up and get out of here" Xiao Ziya said in a rather loud voice. The Western Kingdom troops exited their camp and saw Miss Ziya who was in front of the camp.

"What is it that Miss Ziya shouted in front of our camp" said the surprised Prince Enso.

"Hurry up and don't ask too many questions, hurry up" said Xiao Ziya who had no time to explain what was going on.

Upon seeing the panicked Xiao Ziya, the Western Kingdom army and the cultivators who were there instantly packed up their camp and immediately left the red mountain area. While Xiao Ziya was standing firmly on the mountain slope he started drawing dozens of magic patterns that surrounded the mountain with as much as possible.

"When I stay a little longer, this mountain will soon erupt" said Xiao Ziya who tried his best so that when the red mountain erupted did not cause casualties.

After finishing making dozens of magic patterns on the ground, the girl recited an ancient spell that she learned while in the library of the Hell Palace. After the girl finished reciting the incantation appeared dozens of silver-colored pillars, along with the appearance of the pillar the red mountain began to react. An earthquake with enough force to destroy an empire, some empires that felt a strong tremor from the ground felt extremely anxious.

"What's going on, is it possible that Miss Ziya asked us to leave because there's such a terrible disaster." said Prince Enso, who did not think that the girl was trying to save him with the other troops.

"It is fortunate that Miss Ziya is very kind and cares for all of us" said one of the Western Kingdom preachers who felt very grateful to Xiao Ziya.

"May Miss Ziya be fine, we can only wait for her at a safe distance." said one of the cultivators who wished he could help Xiao Ziya who was fighting to save all the inhabitants of the underworld.

"I have to get this all done quickly." said Xiao Ziya who made hundreds of layers of protective shield because he did not want the stone that came out during the red mountain explosion to hit the residential area not too far from the red mountain.

After all the preparations were done Xiao Ziya inserted Zier into his perfect ring then he darted away a few meters away from the red mountain area. The mountain erupted and spewed hot lava into the sky and rocks that were thrown here and there. The pillar covered by Xiao Ziya's shield could withstand the hot lava as well as the rocks well.

The residents of the Qiyu Empire stopped their activity when they saw a red-colored liquid gushing toward the sky. They all hoped that Xiao Ziya who was on the red mountain was fine. An old cultivator who was eating his food in a tavern observed the gushing red liquid.

"I heard you say that young lady is there?" the old cultivator asked some other visitors inside the tavern.

"The young lady was there to exterminate monsters and dangerous animals." replied one of the tavern visitors.

"The red waters that gush up into the sky are more dangerous than the thousands of monsters that attack, if you are exposed to one drop of the red liquid then your body will burn and disappear. It seems like the young lady has put up a very strong shield so that we all do not get hurt" said the cultivator who smiled proudly, sangag rarely did he find a young cultivator like Xiao Ziya who was willing to do anything not just for his own sake but for the benefit of the crowd.

"If the young lady comes back later we should welcome her cheerfully." said some residents of the Qiyu Empire who wanted to welcome Xiao Ziya home cheerfully as a sign of their gratitude.

"It is better that when the young lady comes home let her rest because making such a strong shield would require qi energy and spiritual energy that is not small." said the old cultivator who suggested that the residents allow Xiao Ziya to rest. The imperial residents approved the cultivator's opinion, they would say thanks a few days after Xiao Ziya's return.

Elsewhere at this time Emperor Yan was being cared for by the palace healers, his condition had already improved and some lash injuries had begun to dry up. Emperor Yan still clearly remembered that his father who had already done all this was only for Xiao Ziya.

"Damn it if it wasn't for the girl complaining to the father none of this would have happened" Emperor Yan said with a look of regret, if the younger sister had returned then Emperor Yan would have whipped her as well.

"I hope the emperor can understand what your mistake was, it's not because of the young lady" said the court physician who tried to advise Emperor Yan. I don't know since when the emperor he served turned arrogant, arrogant, and did not know himself like that. It would be best if their young miss were to look for another candidate to become the emperor who presides over the territory of the Qiyu Empire.

On the other side of the red mountain was still spouting hot lava as well as rocks stored within its stomach, whereas Xiao Ziya was still there until the eruption was over. The girl wanted to make sure the shield she made was strong enough or still needed to add it again.

A few hours had passed and the red mountain had stopped spitting hot lava even though Xiao Ziya had no intention of removing the pillar and shield of his own, however, with the shield, no one could enter the red mountain area other than Xiao Ziya. He deliberately did that so that no one was hurt by reckless climbing the red mountain just to satisfy their curiosity.

Xiao Ziya walked leisurely towards the territory of the Qiyu Empire, the girl was gathering her strength while on the way she met the army of the Western Kingdom warriors.

"Why are you still here? I hope you are not determined to climb the mountain." Xiao Ziya told several soldiers who were guarding the tent where Prince Enso rested.

"We understand and will not do that. We are still here to make sure that the lady returns from the mountain safely or not" said one of the generals who told Xiao Ziya what they were still there for.

Prince Enso heard a commotion from outside his tent, he immediately went out to ascertain what was going on. It turned out that several soldiers and their generals were questioning Xiao Ziya who had just returned from the red mountain.

"Greet my respects to young Miss Ziya" said Prince Enso who said his greetings when meeting Xiao Ziya. Although the girl was much younger than him yet Xiao Ziya was indeed worthy of respect by everyone living in the underworld.

"Hail me to Prince Enso." said Xiao Ziya who replied to the prince's greetings.

"Thank God if Miss Ziya's condition is fine, we are very worried when we see the lady trying to conquer the red mountain by herself" said Prince Enso with a sweet smile on his handsome face.

"Thank you for worrying about me, you return to the Western Kingdom tell Your Majesty the King that everything is fine. And I hope the Prince can tell some of the kingdoms and empires that are near here not to enter the red mountain region. There are still many mysteries that I have not been able to solve about the emergence of the mountain" said Xiao Ziya who asked for help from Prince Enso. Of course the prince would help her with pleasure.

The entourage of Prince Enso immediately returned to the Western Kingdom to report to their king while Xiao Ziya continued on towards the Qiyu Imperial Region. The journey that did not take long, now Xiao Ziya had arrived in front of the border gate of the Qiyu Empire region. The border guards bowed their bodies as a sign of respect for Xiao Ziya who had fought for the benefit of many people.

After entering the territory of the Qiyu Empire the girl went to the royal capital to buy some fruit sweets because she was hungry. Along the way no one cheered the girl's name like when the heroes came home from the battlefield, however every time Xiao Ziya passed by then the people on the street would pull over and bend their bodies.

"Actually what the inhabitants of the empire are doing why they look so strange" said Xiao Ziya who was clueless about what the residents of the Qiyu Empire were doing.

Finally the girl arrived at a market, there were many traders who sold a variety of fruit sweets. Xiao Ziya bought ten skewers of apple sweets, one kilo of cherry candies, one kilo of peach candies, ten skewers of grape candies, as well as two kilos of kiwi sweets. After getting everything he wanted Xiao Ziya went to the city park to relax and eat the fruit sweets he had bought.

"The atmosphere here is quite pleasant, it looks like I have to hold a rug" said Xiao Ziya who took a beautiful tapestry from inside her universe ring.

The universe ring belonging to Xiao Ziya stored various kinds of goods, living things, as well as many plants that were inside there. Perhaps the area of the room in the universe ring was wider than the region of the underworld because Xiao Ziya had no desire to become a queen or emperor of a region because Xiao Ziya already had it has everything in the ring of the universe. While the girl's absolute ruler ring contained billions of weapons, gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, gold bars and many items stored there. How could Xiao Ziya possess all of that? I don't know if he might be the beloved man of the creator of the universe.

After finishing holding the rug, the girl arranged all the fruit sweets she bought neatly and even some sweets she put into a wooden box. After everything was done Xiao Ziya sat on the rug and began to eat the sweets. There were some children who looked towards Xiao Ziya and thought that the girl was a sweet seller, finally some of the little ones ran towards Xiao Ziya to buy sweets.

"Did jiejie sell all these sweets?" asked one of the girls with her innocent face. He asked Xiao Ziya who did not need to sell anything to make money.

"Jiejie doesn't sell it, but if you want some sweets then jiejie will gladly give it to her" Xiao Ziya said with a friendly smile, he knew that the boy only wanted to eat some sweets he had.

The parents of the few children who were with Xiao Ziya realized that their child was not in the playground. While searching here and there the parents were surprised to see their child sitting next to Miss Ziya and eating the lady's fruit sweets. Because of the panic the children's parents ran towards Xiao Ziya and immediately hung up on me several times in front of Ziya.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Xiao Ziya with her eyebrows raised next to her.

"We apologise because our son has disrupted Miss Ziya's precious break" said one of the children's fathers. He was afraid that their son had offended Ziya unintentionally.

"Don't go too far, I also have a younger brother like them. Your children just want to eat sweets with me and that's not a problem. So if there is no need to apologize like that." said Xiao Ziya who did not mind the attitude of children who still eat sweetness greedily, he could buy it again.

"Jiejie is very pretty. We're kila jiejie selling real sweets jiejie cedang belcantai. We have asked jiejie for help" said one of the girls who was still not too fluent when talking.

"Ah sorry for our behavior that made the lady uncomfortable. We just don't want this child to interfere with your rest" said the parents, who felt bad for prejudicing Xiao Ziya.

The girl just smiled in response to the parents, she knew they must be very anxious about their child. Xiao Ziya went back to eating his sweets with the boy while their parents ordered spicy sour noodles at a nearby tavern, not forgetting they ordered two bowls for Xiao Ziya.

Xiao Ziya's relationship with them ended when the day began to afternoon, the parents said goodbye to Xiao Ziya and invited their children to go home.

"When I grow up I'll be as pretty as a jiejie" said a daughter before being invited home by her father and mother.

After that Xiao Ziya cleaned up and put the carpet into the ring as usual, Xiao Ziya darted towards the Xiao Clan because he had missed his mattress there. After entering into his pavilion in the Xiao Clan he met Wi Algi who was sweeping through the interior of the pavilion.

"What's gege doing? why not ask the waiter to clean it up?." asked Xiao Ziya who was quite surprised because his new gege was very humble away from the bad attitude of his younger sister, Wi Xume.

"It's not a big meimei thing, I'm used to it. Besides, it is my duty to keep your pavilion clean and neat as a sign of gratitude you are willing to accommodate me here." said Wi Algi with a happy smile.

"Alright if it's gege, I want to rest first" said Xiao Ziya who went straight into the room, the girl took a bath in the bathroom to clean herself after putting on her dress, she immediately laid herself on the bed.
