DEMON QUEEN
Paying Lodging

Elnz Village Chief used his strength to the fullest in order to reach the border gate, his feelings were even more unnerving after seeing the blue rose covering the village sky soon to bloom. If until the blue rose blooms perfectly then there will be a huge burst of energy, the outer protector of Elnz Village will not be able to withstand the explosion. After trying with all his might the old man finally reached outside the border gate, he immediately approached a girl who was sitting cross-legged inside a large blue rose. Village Chief Elnz was very confident that the beautiful girl was the Great Miss that her ancestors had foreseen decades ago.

"Honor me to the Grand Miss, I hope that the lady will be pleased to forgive the mistake that these four knights from Elnz Village have made and to take back all your roses." mister Elzi said as he bowed his body before Xiao Ziya. The old man could feel an extremely cold aura coming out from the body of the girl before him.

On the other hand at this moment the four young men who called themselves as magic knights of Elnz Village were staring in disbelief at the village chief, why was the village chief so respectful of the foreign girl who was about to enter their village?. The foreign girl named Xiao Ziya had made Elmo seriously injured by asking the elf maid to attack their friend. Although Xiao Ziya looked extremely strong, the attitude of the village chief towards the girl was too excessive.

"You don't have to bend your body like that of a village chief" Trinzes said with a dislike, their village chief was the most respected man in the village. His position was highest among all the people living in Elnz Village, and as a guest Xiao Ziya should have bowed her body when meeting the village chief.

"Stop making such nonsense, don't make Young Miss even more angry with your reckless behavior" said Mr. Elzi, who warned Trinzes of what he had just said.

Xiao Ziya closed her eyes for a while, the girl pulled back all the blue roses that were hovering right above the sky of Elnz Village then put back into her spiritual realm. The big blue rose that Xiao Ziya was sitting on also disappeared, the girl went down and set her foot on the icy cold layer again. If all the land in the village of Elnz is covered by a layer of ice this cold, where will they grow crops and get staples to meet daily needs?.

"Thank you for the kindness of the Big Miss. Introduce me Elzi, the village chief in this region." said Mr. Elzi who was introducing himself to Xiao Ziya.

"I'm Xiao Ziya, sorry for my arrival to wreak havoc on your territory." xiao Ziya said in a soft voice and a friendly-sounding tone was very much different as he spoke to the four magic knights.

"That's no big deal, I'm sure these four young men are making trouble first" said Mr. Elzi who bestows all blame on the four magic knights.

"I understand they just want to be protectors for the village they love so much, but the next day you should tell them to ask for identity tokens on anyone who wants to enter this village. Not all cultivators have extra patience like me, and I'm sure there are still many cultivators who are much stronger than me." said Xiao Ziya who gave a little advice on how the four magic knights got the identity of everyone who wanted to enter their village.

"Alright I understand, please go inside Miss Ziya and Mr. Elf." said Mr. Elzi who did not forget the existence of Lunx who was behind Xiao Ziya.

It was fortunate that the dispute was over before Xiao Ziya destroyed Elnz Village using the burst of energy from his blue rose, now they were all walking into Elnz Village. Many villagers were looking towards Xiao Ziya and Lunx with curious gazes, it seemed like this village had not had guests in a long time. The village chief of Elnz directed Xiao Ziya and Lunx to go to his house, the village head house is the safest place in Elnz Village because it is made of the best quality ice blocks and stable cold levels.

Xiao Ziya walked into the house belonging to the village chief, he saw some items made from ice blocks including tables and chairs that they had. Didn't all this make the village chief and his family feel the desire? although they were all magicians with ice elements yet there were some magicians with different levels of cold tolerance.

"Sorry that all the houses in this village are made of ice blocks, I hope Miss Ziya is not cold because of it" said Mr. Elzi with a worried face.

"I'm fine and there's no need to worry about it." Xiao Ziya replied with a relaxed face, the girl's body was still coated by black flames so no cold aura could touch her skin.

"Who came grandfather?." asked a girl with a slightly older age than Xiao Ziya, the girl had just walked out of a room not far from the living room.

The girl stared fixedly at Xiao Ziya then her dark blue-colored bead of eyes let out a hint of light, it seemed that very girl did not like the presence of another girl who was prettier than her.

"Come to my granddaughter, introduce her as Miss Xiao Ziya a guest in this village" said Mr. Elzi who was introducing Xiao Ziya to his granddaughter.

"My name is Yingli, it's nice to meet Miss Ziya" said the girl who smiled at Xiao Ziya even though the smile was very insincere.

"It's nice to also meet a beautiful girl like Miss Yingli" Xiao Ziya replied with a sweet smile.

"I want to go see my friend, so I say goodbye first" Yingli said, then exited the village chief's house without looking back at Xiao Ziya.

"Sorry for the disrespectful attitude of my granddaughter, if I may know what purpose Miss Ziya came to this Elnz Village for?." asked Mr. Elzi who was curious about the purpose of the Big Miss to come to a remote place like Elnz Village.

"You must have known a woman who had come to this village with a body filled with severe injuries. I am the granddaughter of Yie Linyia whom you once saved." Xiao Ziya said without further ado, her heart was currently unsettled and something made her very worried.

Mr. Elzi was silent for quite a while, his eyes turning grim as he recalled the dark incident. Although he and the other villagers managed to heal the wounds of the woman named Yie Linyia, the woman chose to fuse her soul and put the soul into a sword she carried. Mr. Elzi sighed heavily, finally after so long the granddaughter of the woman came to draw the sword.

"Thank God that the granddaughter of that woman is Grand Miss Xiao Ziya, she must be very proud to have such a great granddaughter like you" Mr. Elzi said with tears that had hatched soaking down her cheeks.

"Maar because it makes you remember the events of the past" said Xiao Ziya who felt bad for the village chief.

"I'm just happy that you have come to fulfill the last will of Lady Yie Linyia, tonight I will escort you to where the sword is. I also do not understand why the sword is only seen in the night of the heart, Mrs Linyia once advised that only the chosen heir can use the sword at any time." said Mr. Elzi.

"I better find an inn in this village" said Xiao Ziya who will find a place for him to spend the night.

"It's better that you stay in my house alone, I still have some empty rooms" said Mr. Elzi who advised Xiao Ziya to stay in his house only.

"I don't want to trouble you and the others." Xiao Ziya subtly refused, she couldn't stay at the village chief's house because there was the village chief's granddaughter who didn't like her presence.

"Well then I'll take you to a small inn that my first child rents out during an ice storm." said Mr. Elzi who went from his house to the inn to have his first child, Xiao Ziya and Lunx followed the village chief from behind.

Elsewhere at this time Yie Munha had just woken up after she had fainted for a few hours, the girl opened her eyes and immediately looked around. Yie Munha breathed a sigh of relief because he was still inside the Moon Kingdom Palace, at first he thought he had been knocked unconscious by someone then he was kidnapped and taken away to the Yie Clan. The girl got off her bed and was about to get out of the room, it was a pity that the room was locked from the outside. Yie Munha could only resign and wait for one of the young masters to open the door of his room, Yie Munha knew that the people in the Moon Kingdom Palace were worried about his safety and how the fate of the kingdom was next. Somehow Yie Munha felt that he would only be a burden to many if he continued to be in that place.

"Grandfather and grandmother will not stop before they manage to bring me back to the Yie Clan, should I give myself up for the good of everyone?" ask Yie Munha to herself. The girl did not want her life to end in the hands of a figure who is often called the Great Sovereign but on the other hand she did not want the Great Sovereign to come and destroy the Moon Kingdom of her cousin's sister.

Yie Munha was thinking out loud, had Xiao Ziya been in her current position what would the girl have done? he would just give up his life. Immediately Yie Munha shook her head, she did not want to disappoint the many people who had sacrificed so far including her uncle and aunt.

"May uncle and aunt be well, I would like to see how they are" said Yie Munha with a sad face, there were not many things he was used to doing other than training the knowledge taught by Xiao Ziya. Yie Munha still remembered his promise to Xiao Ziya, he would master the earth-shattering technique to the highest level until his cousin's younger brother returned on a long journey.

"I will train even harder" said Yie Munha excitedly, the girl was knocking on the door and hoping someone would hear her from the outside.

"Is there anyone out there? allow me to get out of this room. I have to practice and keep my word to Miss Ziya" Yie Munha said in a loud voice.

"Thank you for letting me out, I will go to the training ground" said Yie Munha with a big smile then the girl went to where she used to train with the two young men from the Zu Clan.

The soldier only saw the departure of Yie Munha, after the girl was really invisible again he just went to a special room for the two children of Queen Min Xunzi. The soldier will report that Yie Munha has been taken out of the room because he wants to practice the style given by Miss Ziya. On the other hand the current Xiao Ziya, Lunx, and the village head had arrived in front of an inn made of ice blocks as well. When entering the inn, Xiao Ziya felt a little relieved because the furniture they had was made of wood and other materials.

"Welcome father, what are you doing here?" asked Yunha the first son of Mr. Elzi.

"Dad is delivering guests, they want to stay in your inn" said Mr. Elzi as he set his sights on Xiao Ziya and Lunx.

Yunha looked towards the ordinary human girl and an old elf who was behind the girl, Yunha was happy because after a long time there were finally humans visiting this Elnz Village.

"Then excuse me Miss Ziya, I'll pick you up tonight" said Mr. Elzi who had to leave his guest. As a village chief he had a lot of work to do immediately.

"Well, see you again, Mr. Elzi, thank you for driving us" Xiao Ziya replied with a faint smile.

Mr. Elzi left, now Yunha is talking about some things that guests who are not allowed to do at her place. All the rules described by the man were exactly the same as the rules in other inns in general.

"So how many rooms do you want to rent?" asked Yunha very kindly.

"Is there a special room with the best facilities in your inn?" asked Xiao Ziya who wanted to stay in a room with the best facilities.

"We have some rooms that are superior to others, but you need to increase the cost of renting the room with basic food and fresh fruits" replied Yunha honestly, in Elnz Village, food ingredients such as rice, wheat, corn, vegetables, and fresh fruits are very expensive compared to gold coins.

"What if I pay with basic groceries only?" asked Xiao Ziya who made an attractive offer to the man.

"How much food do you bring? I don't see you carrying a bag or anything?" yunha asked with a confused look.

Soon Xiao Ziya took out two large sacks of rice, two sacks of wheat, and, and a sack full of apples that have just been picked from the garden in the ring of the universe belongs to the girl. Yunha widened her eyes and she showed a happy face, she had not seen such a rich visitor in her inn for a long time.

"I'd like to rent the two best rooms in your inn, if this is less you just say it." Xiao Ziya said with a smile that he deliberately hid. The girl felt a little sad with the composition of the land in Elnz Village that could not be planted anything.

"You can stay for a whole week with two separate rooms. Thank you so much for paying for food like this, we are in a shortage" said Yunha who did not stop thanking Xiao Ziya.

"If you need groceries to make breakfast and dinner just say it" said Xiao Ziya.

"Alright Miss, thank you for your kindness." Yunha said.

Yunha brought in all the groceries paid by the young lady as a stayover to a solemn room. Yunha returned with her son and wife, who were in the kitchen.

"Greetings to Young Miss and Mr. Elf" said the woman and the boy beside her.

"You don't have to greet me because I am Miss Ziya's servant." replied Lunx with a flat gaze, as a servant he had no right to have a greeting that was on par with his young lady.

"Relax Lunx it's no big deal" said Xiao Ziya who was calming the elf ancestor.

"I'm sorry we didn't know that" replied Yunha with her son and wife.

"Before entering the room I would like to ask the Madam for help to prepare dinner dishes. I have prepared the ingredients you need to cook." said Xiao Ziya who wanted to entertain the village chief and the family of the innkeeper.

"It is my pleasure to help the lady" replied Ming Angli who did not mind helping the vip guest at her husband's inn.

Xiao Ziya flicked his hands and then appeared a variety of fresh vegetables, one medium size sack containing the best quality rice, chicken eggs, various kinds of fruits that were put in a bag, beef, and beef, chicken meat, and fish. Seeing that much food made Ming Angli unable to say anything, the young lady who came to his inn was so rich that she had a strange object to store the groceries she had.

"Later at night we will eat together, make sure Madam cooks it delicious." said Xiao Ziya with an innocent grin even though he had troubled the hostess of the inn.

"Eating together?." asked Yunha with a puzzled look, didn't the young lady just want to entertain the father?.

"Of course we will eat together with the Village Chief, you also come to eat with us. And if there are vegetables or vegetables left the mistress can store them for your kitchen needs. I am indeed intentionally exaggerating." Xiao Ziya said with her innocent face.

"Thank you so much Miss Ziya, I will serve you the best meal I have ever made for dinner. Please you and Mr. Elf rest first." said Ming Angli with glassy eyes, the woman almost cried because she got a very beautiful and kind visitor.

"Okay, excuse us." said Xiao Ziya who invited Lunx to go upstairs, they would choose the room to be occupied.

After the departure of Xiao Ziya and her elf maid, Ming Angli and her husband cried out. They feel very happy because the need for the next few months already exists and they do not need to buy a small sack of rice at a very expensive price.

"Thank God the lady was very kind" said Ming Angli as he wiped his tears.

"I'll help you cook" said a young man named Gunzo. He was the only child of the innkeeper's husband and wife and the first grandson of the village chief.
