DEMON QUEEN

Next Steps

Xiao Yungha was so upset that her foster father was unable to reply to Xiao Ziya's words, the girl picked up a stone under her feet and threw the stone on Ziya's forehead. All the disciples who were training in the field showed their shocked expressions, Xiao Yungha's actions had already crossed the line because this time it was blatantly teasing Young Miss Xiao Ziya.

Although Xiao Ziya's injured forehead was only silent while showing a sweet smile, Xiao Ciyun felt a bad feeling upon seeing that smile.

"Tomorrow I don't want to hear this girl wearing the Xiao clan again, if you can't do that then the position of leader of the Xiao Clan will I leave to the other chief." xiao Ziya said with an expression that instantly turned into a cold gaze.

Xiao Ciyun was surprised to hear that, what should he do now?. He could not bear to take his adopted daughter out of the Xiao Clan but on the other hand he also did not want to lose his position as the clan head. Xiao Yungha clenched her hands tightly, she would not relinquish her position as the daughter of the leader of the Xiao Clan. During his stay within the clan he got many facilities and lived comfortably, if he got kicked out then his life would be very messy.

"No, I can't do that. I have considered her as my biological daughter." said Xiao Ciyun, this time she will fight Xiao Ziya for her foster daughter.

"Do I seem to care about that?. Please step down from the throne of the leader of the Xiao Clan if it is unable to fulfill my wish, after all how can you raise a wild girl like her to be your daughter?. I am also very sure that many members of the Xiao Clan do not like his presence here" Xiao Ziya said.

Yie Yungha's eyes looked teary, the girl fell to the ground and cried as she would. The girl was trying to attract the sympathy of the Xiao Clan disciples who were training to be on her side, instead, it was a pity that the disciples were so fed up with Xiao Yungha's attitude that they kept quiet and did not show any response. Due to his failed plan Xiao Yungha cried even more loudly, Xiao Ziya who was troubled by the girl's cries crouched down and stared fixedly at Xiao Yungha's face.

Plaque...

A loud slap landed on the cheek to the left of Xiao Yungha, the slap left a palm mark that was clearly visible.

"Your crying voice is very disturbing, are you a five-year-old child who can only cry when you want something?. Make sure you know how disgusting you are" Xiao Ziya said in a harsh word, the girl almost lost her temper when disturbed by Xiao Yungha's cries.

Xiao Yungha held onto his cheek, he had not expected Xiao Ziya to dare slap him in front of everyone. Since the situation was getting chaotic, Xiao Ciyun finally helped the daughter of the number to stand up and then left from there, in the heart of the man she promised to avenge the humiliation done by Xiao Ziya.

"You guys are fine?" asked Xiao Ziya as he looked towards the group member Xiao Zuen.

"We're fine Miss Ziya, thank you for the help" Xiao Zuen said on behalf of the rest of the group.

"Then excuse me first, see you later." said Xiao Ziya, the girl darted at high speed leaving the field where the students were training.

After being in the inner area of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Ziya walked leisurely down every hallway that was there. The girl wanted to go to see her father to talk about some important things one of which was the change in attitude of Xiao Ciyun which was too drastic during her stay in recent years, it was possible that it was related to the appearance of Xiao Yungha in Xiao Cunyu's life.

While walking towards the clan head's office he passed Xiao Yan who had just walked out of a room while carrying a cleaning tool, the young man was still carrying out the punishment given by the younger brother even though no one was monitoring him. Xiao Yan's eyes widened when he saw a wound on his beloved sister's forehead, who was the person who had dared to injure his sister.

"What's Gege? why look at me like that." asked Xiao Ziya with a puzzled look, as he remembered he had done nothing wrong but why did his eldest brother show an annoyed expression?.

"Which bastard hurt your forehead? I will beat him to a pulp." Xiao Yan said.

"Ah this wound, don't worry too much. My forehead was injured by being stoned by Uncle Cunyu's adopted son." Xiao Ziya replied casually as the wound was not too severe.

"That damned girl keeps throwing tantrums wherever she goes. Wait here Gege will teach him a lesson." said Xiao Yan who wanted to go to teach Xiao Yungha a lesson.

Xiao Ziya kept his first brother from leaving, for a while let Xiao Ciyun and his adopted daughter do whatever they wanted because slowly their land would be destroyed by itself. Moreover, it was useless if Xiao Yan scolded his uncle because the uncle only believed what his adopted daughter said.

"Alright I will not prolong this matter but if the girl returns to action I will make sure she gets a lesson that will never be forgotten" Xiao Yan said while holding back his overflowing emotions.

"I will not forbid gege to punish him if he repeats the same mistake. I left first because there was business with father." said Xiao Ziya, the girl continued her steps and left Xiao Yan there alone. Xiao Yan stared at the departure of the younger brother, he smiled faintly then stepped away.

While walking down the hallway in the Xiao Clan, many disciples asked about the girl's condition due to a wound on her forehead, after a few minutes of walking Xiao Ziya finally arrived at the front door of the study room for the Xiao Clan leaders.

Tok tok...

Xiao Ziya knocked on the door, after getting an inside answer he immediately entered and approached the father who was at the very end of the table. The several clan heads stared towards the girl with shocked gazes, who is the person who dared to injure Miss Xiao Ziya?.

"Greetings to my father, sorry that I have to interrupt your time for a moment" Xiao Ziya said as she lowered her head.

"Please sit down my daughter, father is not bothered by your arrival." Xiao Cunyu replied with a warm smile.

Xiao Ziya was sitting on the chair in front of the father, looking at his father with a serious look. There were some plans that the girl needed to negotiate with her father first, maybe she settled in the underworld about one to two months later had to leave again to finish her other affairs.

"After returning I was quite surprised by Uncle Xiao Ciyun's change in attitude, since the current authority I have given him in full I will revoke my influence on this clan including the supply of rice from my small town which is on the border of the Qiyu Empire territory. There will probably be a great loss within this clan, there are some parties who will sever their cooperation with the Xiao Clan for a while until I return to that authority. Whether dad and the others will stay here or go with me to a small town and stay there for a time segment, this is just advice from me." said Xiao Ziya who was conveying her advice.

"Ah turns out so, I think it will be very difficult to survive in this clan without any great influence like you. Most of the parties who cooperate with the Xiao Clan appreciate you as their leader." Xiao Cunyu replied with a long sigh.

The atmosphere in the workspace of the clan leaders felt silent for a while, it seemed like the other clan heads were thinking about their options. What would happen to the Xiao Clan if it allowed Xiao Ciyun to take care of her by herself? it was possible that this clan would be destroyed or worse snatched by the other party.

"It looks like we will settle here Miss Ziya, I can't imagine what this clan would be like if it was only managed by that foolish leader." said Xiao Yuza who chose to stay in the Xiao Clan.

"I will also settle here despite having to distance myself from the clan leader, at least with our presence this clan will not be destroyed in one night" Xiao Anmi said with a wide smile.

"Yes it would be better if we continue to be in the clan and watch the movement of the leader, I fear that he will go crazy and take actions beyond the limits later" said Xiao Zuen.

"What about dad?." asked Xiao Ziya by staring at his father.

"I'm sorry I can't go with you, but take it easy because we'll always be on your side no matter what. Our existence inside the Xiao Clan is only to control and observe the movements of your uncle who has started to go crazy, I hope you understand my daughter" Xiao Cunyu said with a heavy heart. He wanted to go with his daughter and live peacefully in the small town but on the other hand his heart refused, ever since the baby Xiao Cunyu lived inside the Xiao Clan, he would not allow Xiao Ciyun's selfishness to destroy his birthplace.

"Well I understand it is very hard for you to leave this clan, please take care of the Xiao Clan as long as I withdraw my influence here. If there is a man making a suspicious move you can report it directly to me." Xiao Ziya said with a sweet smile, the girl understood some of the things the clan leaders were considering.

"Ah yes, who hurt your forehead?" asked Xiao Xiling. From that moment he held back his curiosity, it was very unlikely that Miss Ziya would suddenly fall and injure herself.

"This is the daughter of Uncle Xiao Ciyun's foster, she was very angry because I defended Xiao Zuen's group who were fighting with her. The girl couldn't keep up her words and when others granted what she said, she was angry for some vague reason" Xiao Ziya replied with a brief explanation.

"That girl is indeed the culprit of the matter, we are so fed up with her existence within the Xiao Clan. After all for what the clan leader gave the Xiao clan to him." sneered Xiao Xiling with a dislike look.

"Prophey uncle, soon the girl will leave the Xiao Clan. I also do not want to have a sister like her." Xiao Ziya said with a soft laugh.

"There are a few other things I want to tell my father, maybe tonight I will come to see him in the pavilion. Excuse me first, see you all." Xiao Ziya said. The girl left the clan head's study room towards her pavilion. For now he would observe from afar what Xiao Ciyun would do after gaining full authority.

Time goes by very quickly, now the sun starts to dim and people stop some of the activities they do. Xiao Ziya had just finished taking a bath and was currently wearing a light blue long dress with a sprinkling of diamonds in some parts, he also used a hairpin that his father gave him before leaving to travel a few years ago.

"It's nice to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of an afternoon like this" Xiao Ziya said as she stared at the sunset, the girl's smile was so beautiful that she would be envious of him.

"Mongi, Yoongi come out" said Xiao Ziya who was taking out an ice wolf and a fire wolf from within his universe ring.

A blue and red colored light shot out from the universe ring belonging to Xiao Ziya dsn a while after the appearance of Mongi and Yoongi in human form.

"Greetings to Big Miss, what tasks can we do for you" said Mongi and Yoongi, both greeting her simultaneously.

"Please guard this pavilion as long as I am gone, maybe for the next few days you will get the same task. Don't let anyone else enter other than my father and my two brothers, ah yes uncle Xiao Yuza can also go inside if he comes along with father. I will go out to shop for the needs of the two of you during my stay in this pavilion for a few days" Xiao Ziya who gave the task of guarding his pavilion to the two wolves said.

"Well we will carry out the duties of the Big Miss well. Can Miss buy us some fresh meat? during our time in the ring of the universe we were full of vegetables and fruits." said Yoongi with an awkward smile, he was a little afraid when conveying his wish.

"Alright according to your request, I go first" said Xiao Ziya who rushed away from her pavilion towards the market in the Qiyu Empire region.
