DEMON QUEEN
Making the Antidote Potion
Princess Beiling Zu steadied sharply towards Prince Jongsu Zu, so all this time he was ugly in the eyes of his older brother. With annoyance enveloping her, Princess Beiling Zu hit the prince on the head using the blunt part of the sword he was carrying until Prince Jongsu Zu grimaced in pain.
"I also don't like having an older brother like you, just look at it later." Princess Beiling Zu said then she entered the Moon Kingdom palace with an annoyed expression.
The inhabitants of the Moon Kingdom dispersed themselves and then returned to their homes, the departure of Xiao Ziya made the atmosphere in the Eternal Human World slightly change because there would be no more great action that the girl did. Zu Aoai said goodbye to Queen Min Xunzi and King Min Lunxi because his task was finished, as one of the leaders of the Zu Clan, of course, the woman had other tasks to do.
"I thank you that Madame Zu Aoai has come so far to help with the healing process of Young Miss Xiao Ziya, how much should we pay for your help?" Queen Min Xunzi asked, it is only natural for a healer or alchemist to get paid for the treatment they do. Queen Min Xunzi just didn't want Madame Zu Aoai to return to her clan empty-handed.
"You don't need to give anything in return because Young Miss Xiao Ziya has given it, I must return now. Tell me everything." said Madam Zu Aoai who shot at high speed leaving the Moon Royal Palace.
The few remaining people in the front courtyard of the Moon Imperial Palace decided to go inside. The members of the Eastern Star Royal Family were preparing to be ready as they had to return soon and take care of Princess Beiling Zu's ascension to become the queen of the Xi Anglung Kingdom. Zoe who was in deep sleep at the time did not know that Xiao Ziya and the others had returned to the Underworld, the boy was deliberately in residence until the problem of spreading the plague was over. Xiao Ziya did not want his little sister until the outbreak that was triggering a commotion in the Underworld, after everything improved then Zoe would be picked up by one of the Gods on the orders of Xiao Ziya.
Right now Xiao Ziya, the father, and his two elder brothers were crossing the dimension of space and time, and, the trip this time was quite long because of the difference in world layers which was quite a lot plus Xiao Ziya had to share his energy with his father and his two older brothers. After more or less they revolved around in dimensional space, finally the four of them appeared together in front of the entrance gate of the Qiyu Empire region.
Just now that Xiao Ziya had seen the chaos that was going on, several tents were set up outside the territory of the Qiyu Empire to house the border guard soldiers that had been infected. Xiao Ziya asked her father and two brothers to go inside first whereas the girl wanted to check what was going on and what kind of plague was going on throughout the region Underworld.
"Take good care of yourself, don't catch the plague Brother Ziya" Xiao Xun said with an anxious expression. As strong as his sister did not rule out the possibility he could be protected from the plague.
" I will take it easy for you to go inside otherwise the residents will forbid you from entering" Xiao Ziya said firmly. The girl was aware of the presence of the residents living near the border gate. They are watching anyone who wants to go inside and determine whether the person has contracted the outbreak or not.
Xiao Cunyu, Xiao Xun, and Xiao Yan went inside and passed through the border gate without anyone stopping them. The residents saw with their own eyes that Xiao Cunyu and his two children had suddenly appeared from void space with Miss Xiao Ziya, in addition, the three of them did not approach the refugee tent tent for the soldiers who contracted the disease outbreak.
Before going to the Xiao Ziya refugee camp first coated his entire body using protective magic that can be seen by many people including the border region residents who continue to monitor his movements. After that Xiao Ziya walked closer to the refugee tent and went inside, the atmosphere was very chaotic because no one cared for the soldiers who had contracted the plague.
"It's terrible, who has been presumptuous to spread a plague like this to my territory." Xiao Ziya muttered with a sharp gaze and her eyes that turned a blackish-red color.
Xiao Ziya held the wrist of a soldier lying limp with a thin body, it was fortunate that the warrior was still alive. Xiao Ziya planted his gaze then he saw the entire internal organs of the soldier, Xiao Ziya's eyes widened when he found some worms in the soldier's blood circulation.
"This is really the work of someone, sooner or later I will find the perpetrator" said Xiao Ziya with overflowing emotions, if that person had a problem with him it should be rare to look for Xiao Ziya without needing to hurt an innocent person like this.
After finishing inspecting Xiao Ziya out of the tent, he threw out his hand then appeared some herbs that he would use to make the antidote potion. Xiao Ziya sat cross-legged on the ground then the girl started the process of making the antidote potion, some herbs like hundred-year-old ginseng, some fairy leaf, some herbs, the golden mushroom he obtained in the world of immortal man and several other plants he melted into one. After everything was mixed and became powder, Xiao Ziya added water then stirred it evenly.
"Finally done as well" Xiao Ziya said with a wide smile. After the antidote potion was made Xiao Ziya put it in thousands of small glass bottles according to the dose that must be drunk.
Xiao Ziya put in all the antidotes and left some bottles for him to drink to the soldiers who had contracted the plague. The girl stood up and then went back inside the tent, she opened the mouth of one of the soldiers wide and then poured the antidote into her mouth. In order for the body of the soldier to respond and swallow the antidote, Xiao Ziya forced to close his nostrils. Moments later the soldier swallowed the antidote because he had difficulty breathing.
"Hopefully this works" Xiao Ziya said as she looked at the soldier full of hope.
Suddenly the soldier's body twitched violently and vomited black blood along with some parasitic worms in his veins. Xiao Ziya stared at the black parasitic worm with a red dot on its head, it turned out that the antidote made by Xiao Ziya not only took out the parasitic worm but killed it as well. Xiao Ziya took out a glass box then took out some parasitic worms using his black tendrils.
"Well let's work even harder" Xiao Ziya said excitedly, the girl drinking her antidote to all the soldiers who contracted the plague and their bodies showing the same response.
Dozens of soldiers had drunk Xiao Ziya's antidote and their condition gradually improved, some of the soldiers had woken up with their bodies back to normal and they were hungry from not eating for a few days. Just opening their eyes was immediately startled by the whereabouts of Young Miss Xiao Ziya there, when did that young miss come back??.
The soldiers who had woken up tried to stand up and give greetings to their Young Miss but were very dear to her body condition so weak that they could not do so.
"You guys lie down quietly, I feel relieved because the antidote I made was potent enough to treat you" Xiao Ziya said with a warm smile, thankfully he did not arrive late. I don't know what would happen to those soldiers if parasitic wormworms took over their entire bodies.
On the other hand Xiao Cunyu and his two sons had arrived at the Xiao Clan, yet had the chance to enter the pavilion all three of them had been visited by the clan leader and the other chief. It seemed like they wanted to find out how Xiao Ziya was currently in condition and whether the girl could go home to help people living in the underworld.
"Huh, you're finally back. How is Miss Xiao Ziya? is he currently cured or is he still in the recovery stage?." asked Xiao Yuza with a worried look, hopefully at this time his nephew is fine.
"My daughter's condition has improved, she is also returning home to the underworld and she is currently at the outer border to check on the soldiers who have contracted the plague." xiao Cunyu replied with an ordinary expression. It was not that he was not worried about his daughter's condition but Xiao Cunyu believed that his daughter could overcome the problems that befell the Underworld.
The Xiao Clan chiefs showed shocked expressions, they had not expected Xiao Cunyu to let his recently recovered daughter approach the soldiers who had already contracted the plague. Didn't the man feel worried that Xiao Ziya would become infected like the others?.
"Why don't you take Miss Xiao Ziya back to the clan first. We should have talked about this matter with Miss Xiao Ziya then looked for a way out together" Xiao Ciyun said, it seemed like the man was irritated by Xiao Cunyu's decision to let Xiao Ziya handle the matter alone.
"At least he knows how to protect himself, I am confident in my daughter's ability." Xiao Cunyu replied with a flat expression.
"The girl must have considered carefully before making a decision. The clan leader need not be so angry" said Xiao Xiling, who tried to appease the clan leader.
"Alright I will not interfere with Miss Xiao Ziya's decision, but if she were to catch the plague I would not let her into the Xiao Clan and then pass it on to everyone." xiao Ciyun said firmly. After saying that he immediately left from there leaving the clan leaders.
Xiao Cunyu stared at Xiao Ciyun's departure with a look of dislike, it was possible that the man had already forgotten that the Xiao Clan belonged to Xiao Ziya and that girl had the right to revoke the position of the clan leader she was currently occupying. Xiao Cunyu knew the reason why Xiao Ciyun was displeased when his daughter preferred to help the soldiers first rather than return to the Xiao Clan.
"It looks like uncle Ciyun changed a little" Xiao Yan muttered in a soft voice, he could see a pretty obvious change from the clan dreamer.
"Let Little Sister Ziya make the decision, the Xiao Clan until any moment is hers. All this time uncle Ciyun has done a good job but the end of this behavior is a little strange" said Xiao Xun who agreed with Xiao Yan's opinion on the change in Uncle Ciyun's attitude.
"Have you not needed to have that, rest for sure you are very tired after a long journey. I and some other chiefs will go to the Qiyu Imperial Palace to inform Xiao Ziya of the return of Emperor Zue." Xiao Yuza said with a pique that he was holding back, the man was eager to beat their clan leader to a pulp.
"All right, excuse us first" said Xiao Cunyu who went straight to the pavilion as well as Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun.
On the other hand at this moment all the soldiers had recovered and they could move the body as usual, while Xiao Ziya was busy burning hundreds of parasitic worms that came out of the soldier's body using his black fire. Xiao Ziya was still thinking hard about who was the mastermind behind all this and why the target was the Underworld. As Xiao Ziya was busy daydreaming about it outside the refugee camp, several soldiers came out of the tent to look for him.
"What is Miss Ziya thinking?" asked one of the soldiers who ventured to ask Xiao Ziya.
"I find it strange that this plague suddenly appeared, during my stay in several layers of the world I have never seen a parasitic worm. I suspect there are some people who deliberately spread this plague" Xiao Ziya said.
"We think so too, everyone within the territory of the Qiyu Empire did not catch this plague. Maybe the parasitic worm you said was incapable of breaking through the magic formation you had set up to protect this empire." replied one of the soldiers who had come to think about some strange events that happened in recent months.
"Some of the kingdom got messed up because the entire population contracted a plague until they went crazy and started attacking some other kingdom's territory" said one soldier who just remembered the information he got.
"Turning crazy? I think the symptoms are just like yours." said Xiao Ziya who was increasingly convinced that something was wrong with the appearance of this strange outbreak.
"They even to tear the body of another human to death. Many kingdoms and empires were closing in and out of their territories to avoid that terrible attack" the soldier explained to their Young Miss.
"It is better that some of you go to the Qiyu Imperial Palace, tell the emperor that I have made an offer for this plague. I will go to several regions to see how things are going there." said Xiao Ziya who immediately stood up then darted away from the borders of the Qiyu Empire.
