Xiao Ziya stepped into the territory of Ming Tuo Kingdom, the girl traversing a village near the border. As Xiao Ziya was walking down the street in a market in the village he saw a husband and wife who were being beaten by a group of people, from what Xiao Ziya had heard it seemed like the married couple had been unable to pay the rent of the tavern in the past few months. Xiao Ziya did not want to interfere in other people's problems even though he felt sorry, however, the rent must still be paid as a form of responsibility from the married couple.
"We have collected money and it will be paid to you but a few days ago the boy became seriously ill. The money that was supposed to be used to pay the rent we had to use to take it to the doctor. Last night our son died, this morning we continued to sell to get money and could pay the rent for the shop" said the middle-aged man with glassy eyes, they should still be at home to remember the departure of the child but because the store rental is due they have to work harder than usual.
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you, the rent still has to be paid today. If not please leave this tavern!." snapped the man at the middle-aged man.
Xiao Ziya turned around and walked towards the couple, he would help them this time because they had already raised money to pay but had to be used for other purposes. Xiao Ziya's arrival made the tavern owner's man look at him with a cynical look, he did not like it if foreigners meddled in his business affairs.
"How much have they not paid you?" asked Xiao Ziya in a cold tone.
"Two thousand three hundred gold coins, they've been delinquent for four months" the tavern owner's man replied with a cynical look.
Xiao Ziya took out a number of gold coins mentioned by the man then gave it to him directly, the married couple who was behind Ziya looked at each other. The two of them did not know who the Young Miss was in front of them, then why would the Young Miss be willing to spend such a large amount of money just for a stranger like the two of them?.
"You're lucky that there's this Miss who's willing to pay the rent, otherwise you'll have me beat her to pieces." said the man who owns the store who just left after getting the money he wanted. Xiao Ziya wanted to leave there because the journey he took was still quite long, of course the girl did not want to waste her time in vain.
"How do we pay you a debt?" triak the wife of the couple.
"I just want to help, next time you have to work harder. Never rely on the mercy of others because not everyone will care about the fate of others." replied Xiao Ziya who continued to step away from the tavern. The couple bent their bodies towards the road that Xiao Ziya was walking through, the girl was right they were deliberately attracting the sympathy of others in order to get help to pay the rent of the tavern.
The day had started to day and the girl had already reached the center of the city, Xiao Ziya bought some snacks to fill her hungry stomach. Xiao Ziya walked the path with a happy face, the girl wanted to disappear a little bit of fatigue that enveloped her body, the problems that occurred late this was very draining of the girl's emotions and energy. As Xiao Ziya was eating some dried bean cakes, a girl came running towards him and wanted to hug Ziya. It was fortunate that Xiao Ziya quickly avoided the crazy girl, after a closer look it turned out to be Yangrang.
"Don't get too close to me because I don't want to have a close relationship with Miss Yangrang" Xiao Ziya said with a flat expression, even though the girl had no evil intentions towards him but was stupefied to utilize Xiao Ziya in Yangrang's brain.
"Why does Miss Ziya always stay away from me? did I make a mistake on you?." asked Yangrang with a sad expression, the girl tightened her voice slightly to be heard by others passing by around them.
Xiao Ziya just stared flatly at Yangrang, whatever the girl did he would never want to have a friendship or anything like that. I don't know what kind of drama the girl wanted to do so she cried loudly in front of Xiao Ziya, she said, some pedestrians stared at Ziya with cynical gazes even among them did not hesitate to talk about the girl directly.
"Well, don't blame me if the Ming Tuo Kingdom is just a name." that's the first sentence that came out of Xiao Ziya's mouth in response to Yangrang's actions.
There appeared several Ming Tuo Kingdom warriors who instantly stood their backs to Xiao Ziya and pointed their swords at Yangrang, Xiao Ziya knew that since entering the territory there were some soldiers guarding him silently. Yangrang was so shocked that the Ming Kingdom warrior Tuo was more defending a foreign girl like Xiao Ziya than he had been defending a life to take a painting of Lord Hiloz on an artist living around the teak forest.
"Miss Xiao Ziya is a guest of honor for us, not once did Miss Yangrang plan anything bad for her" the soldiers said simultaneously.
"I'm fine, you don't have to overdo it like this. Look at the pale face of Miss Yangrang, what if she faints later?." scolded Xiao Ziya to the Ming Tuo Kingdom soldiers who were protecting her. Finally the soldiers lowered their weapons, an order from Xiao Ziya they considered like King Ming Gu's orders.
"I will report what you have done to His Majesty the King" Yangrang said with an annoyed look on his face and left Xiao Ziya with the soldiers. Instead of worrying that they would be fired, the soldiers protecting Xiao Ziya immediately turned around and saw how the Young Miss was.
"Thank God Miss Ziya is fine, Miss Yangrang is indeed often making trouble for newcomers in Ming Tuo Kingdom" said one of the soldiers with a wide smile on her face.
"What if you lose your job because of me?." asked Xiao Ziya with a puzzled look, their family still needs money to make ends meet. If the man who acts as the head of the family loses his job then they will live a life of deprivation.
"If that happens then we will go to the Moon Kingdom to join you there" the soldiers replied without any sense of regret.
"Let me talk to your King, I will make sure that no one loses their job" Xiao Ziya said with a serious look, the girl asked the soldiers who had been following her silently to return to where they were serving. Maintaining the security of the border region of Ming Tuo Kingdom was their main task, and that task should not be left alone.
"I will be proud of you when you all carry out your work with all your heart, do your best so that the news of the prowess of the Ming Tuo Kingdom warriors reaches the ears of the Moon Kingdom residents." xiao Ziya said with a sweet smile.
"Well we will work with all our heart, we excuse Big Miss Xiao Ziya" said a group of border soldiers who rushed straight back to where they were on duty.
After the departure of those soldiers Xiao Ziya immediately shot towards the Ming Tuo Imperial Palace, he would explain to the King what had happened today and why the soldiers were protecting him more than Miss Yangrang. When he wanted to enter the palace, as usual the gate guard soldiers asked Xiao Ziya to show him his identity token. It was with great pleasure that Xiao Ziya handed over the identity token as the ruler of the Moon Kingdom, the instant the entrance gate guards of Ming Tuo Palace welcomed him.
"Please enter Big Miss Xiao Ziya, sorry for offending you" said the gate guard soldiers, they bowed their heads as Xiao Ziya flashed into the palace. After Xiao Ziya entered the soldiers it was able to breathe with some relief, who did not know the new leader of the Moon Kingdom. She was the prettiest girl ever in the Eternal Human World, besides being so strong and tough that she could destroy a Clan in one night. The news of how powerful Xiao Ziya's allies were had also spread in the Ming Tuo Kingdom's territory until the king issued an order to never offend the girl intentionally.
"Excuse me, where can I meet King Ming Gu?" asked Xiao Ziya in a soft tone.
"Right now His Majesty King Ming Gu is in the living room with his two sons and a guest. If you want to go there then I'll drop you off." replied the waiter very politely, the girl in front of him looked like the son of a noble because the clothes used were made of high quality silk cloth plus some small gems that adorned his waist.
"Thank you for the help." said Xiao Ziya who was following the maid from behind, he looked at the interior of the Ming Tuo Imperial Palace. Somehow Xiao Ziya felt that he had seen almost the same building as the Ming Tuo Imperial Palace.
On the other hand Yangrang had already been together with His Majesty King Gu and his two sons to report the matter that happened to him earlier, Yangrang said that he was deeply offended by the behavior of the border guard soldiers who were more protective of foreigners than he who was the son of one of the nobles in the Ming Tuo Kingdom region.
"It seems like you should fire them" Prince Yanzi said with a worried look as if he did not want such a thing to happen again.
"We must also hear the reason of the soldiers why they did such a thing. We also do not know the identity of the person they are protecting." said Crown Prince Ming Zu, the young man had a clearer mind than Prince Yanzi.
"Don't take the decision unilaterally, I will ask some of those border warriors to come and explain their reasons" replied King Ming Gu who more agreed with the proposal from the Crown Prince.
"I will ask you to follow up on this matter, if I don't get justice from the government let my family do it themselves" Yangrang said with a cynical look, he hated this shameful event today. Yangrang also felt annoyed at the response of His Highness King Ming Gu and Crown Prince Ming Zu, should they both have one thought with Prince Yanzi.
If Xiao Ziya found out the contents of the head from Yangrang maybe the girl had already sold the malfunctioning brain. Wasn't the person who wanted to harm Yangrang while in the teak forest the Prince of Yanzi? of course the young man would be nice in front of Yangrang so that the girl would forget the mistake that Prince Yanzi had made.
"It would be difficult to fire some soldiers and replace them with new soldiers, it would be very troublesome if the girl's father intervened directly." Prince Yanzi urged the father and elder brother of his feet. Yangrang's father is famous for his cruelty, nor will he tolerate anyone who dares to hurt his only daughter. The worst possibility that could happen is the closure of the shortcut access to the one that is always passed to avoid the Black Sand Forest because the road belongs to Yangrang's father personally.
"As a King, I must be fair to anyone" replied King Ming Gu, who did not want to change his mind.
Suddenly the door of the middle room opened without any permission from a soldier to King Ming Gu, after a while a beautiful girl appeared that attracted the attention of Crown Prince Ming Zu and Prince Yanzi. The two of them looked at Xiao Ziya with a dazzled gaze while Yangrang squeezed his palm tightly because his plan would fail if the girl managed to influence King Ming Gu and his two sons.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, I am a person who is protected by the border guard soldiers" Xiao Ziya said firmly and with sharp eyes.
King Ming Gu gulped his saliva violently, he felt an extremely powerful aura from the young girl. For some reason the border guard soldiers were protecting her more than Miss Yangrang but one thing was certain, King Ming Gu felt that the actions of those soldiers were the right ones.
"Is it really Miss Yangrang?." asked King Ming Gu to Yangrang to confirm the truth.
"Yes right, that girl has made me feel humiliated in front of a lot of people" Yangrang said with overflowing anger, it seemed that he was indeed not destined to be Xiao Ziya's friend but rather to be the girl's enemy.
"I'm not asking you to cry in front of so many people, before those soldiers came to help me, didn't Miss Yangrang already embarrass yourself?" Xiao Ziya asked with a mocking smile, asking, pretending to be a weak girl who thirsts for the mercy of others is a very embarrassing thing. If Xiao Ziya was Yangrang's mother, then the girl had already been kicked out of her family.
"You are so rude to me, I am not a tough girl like you." Yangrang replied with a sad twinkle of eyes, the girl indeed likes to throw away her tears.
"What empty mouth are you saying? who would not be surprised if someone suddenly ran towards him and wanted to hug when we are not a friend. Are you not taught manners in society?." said Xiao Ziya with a lazy look, he was eager to strangle Yangrang's neck until the girl moved.
"Can Miss introduce herself first" said Crown Prince Ming Zu who wanted to know the identity of the beautiful girl who was in conflict with Yangrang.
"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I am Xiao Ziya an ordinary girl who came from the Underworld at the moment I became the leader of the Moon Kingdom." Xiao Ziya replied with a friendly yet obedient smile she made Her Highness Ming Gu, Crown Prince Ming Zu, and Prince Yanzi wanted to faint on the spot. It turned out that the girl was a girl who was being discussed by many people because of the strength she had. It was only fitting for the gate guard soldiers to be willing to protect him, King Ming Gu felt that the actions of the soldiers were something to be appreciated.
"Welcome to Ming Tuo Kingdom Great Miss Xiao Ziya, we are glad that you took the time to stop by here" King Ming Gu and Crown Prince Ming Zu said simultaneously, the two of them lowered their heads before Xiao Ziya.
"Thank you for your kind welcome, I came to the palace to personally ask His Majesty King Ming Gu not to fire the soldiers" Xiao Ziya said.
"If His Majesty the King complies with the girl's request then I will ask father to close the shortcut you used to pass." Yangrang threatened in a serious tone, if the road was closed then the Ming Tuo Kingdom could travel south. The southern region is a supplier of fabrics, food ingredients such as meat, spices and several other purposes.
