This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When Mother Zhao saw that Young Master Lin Ling was looking at Xiaoxiao fascinatedly, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't stand there anymore. Sit inside. Mother Zhang, prepare some tea."

Young Master Lin Ling woke up and lost her composure. She hurriedly turned her gaze away and smiled, "Aunt Yun, Young Master Yun came here under the orders of the Patriarch's grandfather. Please attend tonight's family banquet with Miao Miao. I hope you won't delay it!"

Being invited by the Patriarch was an honorable thing. Mother Zhao hurriedly said, "Please tell the Patriarch that we will definitely arrive."

Young Master Lin Ling chuckled and said, "Then Young Master Lin Ling will not hinder your mother and daughter from reuniting. Goodbye!" With that, he smiled at Xiaoxiao and turned around to walk out the door.

"Young Master Sun, take your time!" Mother Zhao hurriedly pulled Xiaoxiao out of the room.

Seeing that Young Master Lin Ling didn't pester him, Xiaoxiao's impression of him couldn't help but improve. Mother Zhao watched Young Master Lin Ling leave and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. She said softly, "Young Master Lin Ling is the most outstanding young man in our generation. He has a general level cultivation at such a young age."

Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "Mother, let's go in!"

A faint pear vortex appeared on the right side of Lin Ling's cheeks. She was too beautiful to look at. Even Mother Zhao was a little confused. "My daughter is so beautiful. No wonder she came here to run errands in person with Lin Ling's other status. With Lin Ling's other qualifications, she can be considered worthy of our family's beauty. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be interested in her."

"Mother, why are you looking at her like this?" Xiaoxiao blushed slightly.

Mother Zhao came back to her senses and kindly touched her little head. She smiled and said, "My Miaomiao is really beautiful. What do you think of Young Master Lin Ling?"

Xiaoxiao immediately understood the meaning behind her words and hurriedly said, "Mother, what does it have to do with me?"

With Xiaoxiao's current knowledge and cultivation, not to mention Lin Ling, even the Demon King didn't put her in her eyes. She only had Chu Jun in her eyes. When other men compared him to Big Brother Jun, they were all scum!

Mother Zhao shook her head with a bitter smile and pulled Xiaoxiao into the room. Immediately, a middle-aged woman brought tea and respectfully said, "Miss, please have some tea!"

Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Zhang curiously. Judging from her appearance and aura, she was clearly a human.

Mother Zhao explained, "Miaomiao, this is our family's servant. The Patriarch specially sent her to serve me. You can call her Aunt Zhang!"

"Aunt Zhang, are you a human?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "This servant is indeed a human!"

Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Are we going to take humans into the Demon Realm as slaves?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss, don't misunderstand. Your Majesty the Monster King forbids the private kidnapping of humans as slaves. This servant is willing to sell her as a slave!"

Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly, "Why would a good person be a servant?"

Aunt Zhang bitterly smiled and said, "People in troubled times are inferior to peaceful dogs. I was originally a body cultivator in Frozen Soul City of Frozen Continent. Once war broke out, we lost our livelihoods. In order to get food and clothing, many of us volunteered to sell ourselves as slaves. This servant is lucky. Mistress treats me very well and this servant is very satisfied with our current life."

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel that it was strange. This had something to do with her living in the human realm for decades. In fact, deep down in her heart, she already regarded herself as a member of the human race.

"Oh, right, why don't you see your father?" Only then did Xiaoxiao realize that she hadn't seen her father for so long.

Mother Zhao's expression immediately darkened as she said softly, "Miao Miao, your father …!"

Xiaoxiao had a bad premonition and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, how is Father?"

Mother Zhao sighed and said, "Your father returned to the embrace of the forest ten years ago!"

The little brain suddenly buzzed, and the circles of her eyes turned red. Her pretty face turned pale and she asked, "How did Father leave?"

"He died while hunting!" Mother Zhao said softly.

The Demon Realm was the same as the Human Realm. The mountains and rivers were filled with all kinds of demonic beasts. Little Father was only a demon elder level demon. It was normal for him to perish during hunting. Almost every day in the Demon Realm, the demon race would perish.

Little tears fell silently. Mother Zhao sighed and hugged her daughter tightly into her arms to comfort her.

Aunt Zhang tactfully retreated!

The Clan Chief's residence was undoubtedly the most luxurious. Of course, it also covered the widest area. Almost one-third of the entire Vine Alley was occupied by him.

When Xiaoxiao and Mother Zhao arrived outside the patriarch's courtyard, Young Master Lin Lingbie and his father actually personally welcomed them out.

The banquet was held in the living room of the middle courtyard. It was said to be a family banquet, but in fact, all the big shots of the clan had come. Nearly a hundred people sat at more than ten tables.

Xiaoxiao and Mother Zhao stepped into the hall and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Most of their gazes were cold and disdainful. Except for their mother, all the faces present were very strange to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was standing here in such a strange place. There was not the slightest sense of belonging or warmth to go home in her heart.

An idea suddenly popped into Xiaoxiao's mind, "Perhaps I should take my mother and leave this place, leave the Demon Realm, and return to the place that belongs to me."

"Aunt Yun, Miaomiao, sit here!" Young Master Linling, don't smile and lead Xiaoxiao and Mother Zhao to the table in the center. The people sitting here are all the leaders of the Linling Clan. The Clan Chief and several Clan Elders are here.

"Linling Brassica pays her respects to the Patriarch and the Elders!" Mother Zhao bowed respectfully.

Xiaoxiao also bowed, "Miaomiao pays her respects to the Patriarch and Elder!"

The purple crystal in front of Patriarch Lin Lingshen's forehead blossomed with a leaf. It was clearly a Yiye Demon Governor. His strength was equivalent to that of an early stage God Refining Realm cultivator. The clan elders were all Demon Generals, and the highest was the Three Leaves Demon General.

Lin Lingshen sized up Miao Miao and nodded repeatedly. She smiled gently and said, "Good, good, sit down!"

The few clan elders' gazes were obviously cold, so Xiaoxiao didn't care about their attitudes and pulled her mother to sit down. The small seat was right next to Young Master Lin Ling's other seats, which was obviously arranged on purpose.

Lin Lingshen raised her wine cup and smiled, "Miao Miao endured the humiliation in the human realm and finally lived up to everyone's expectations. She successfully retrieved eight dragon cauldrons from King Chu Shaxing of the human realm. She has done an unparalleled feat for our Great Demon Race and won great glory for our Linling Family. Everyone, a toast to Miao Miao Miao!"

More than ten tables of people raised their wine glasses, but there was no joy on their faces. They were just perfunctory. Mother Zhao's expression was awkward and she started to feel a little restless. Xiaoxiao did not care and drank all the wine in one gulp.

The clan elders were already unhappy, but they were even more unhappy when they saw Xiaoxiao's calm performance. One of them put down his wine glass and splashed the wine in all directions, causing the dishes beside him to fly.

The hall was instantly deathly silent, and everyone's gazes swept over.

This old man was the Fourth Elder, Lin Lingchen. He was famous for his hot temper, and even the Patriarch had to give him three points if he got angry.

The old man glared at Xiaoxiao angrily and shouted, "Lin Miaomiao, do you know your crime?"

Xiao Xiaoliu frowned slightly and said indifferently, "What sin am I guilty of?"

As soon as these words were spoken, countless angry gazes immediately arose. Even Patriarch Lin Lingshen frowned in displeasure.

Lin Lingchen couldn't help but be enraged. His small attitude made him furious. He stood up and cursed, "Impudent, Lin Lingmiao, although you have made a great contribution, you have ignored the interests of the clan and refused His Majesty the Monster King's reward. In front of the clansmen, you don't know how to repent. You don't even have an elder in your eyes!"

Mother Zhao's face was deathly pale. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Fourth Elder, Miao Miao has left the clan since she was young and lacked discipline. Don't be like her. I will apologize on her behalf!" As he said that, he pushed the chair away and kowtowed.

Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled her mother and said anxiously, "Mother, it is my own business to push off His Majesty's reward. What does it have to do with them? Why should I apologize?"

Mother Zhao was so anxious that she almost cried. Xiaoxiao's words were undoubtedly extremely outrageous. It was an anti-clan remark. She might be driven out of the clan. Once she was driven out of the clan, she would be pointed at her back and scolded wherever she went, causing all the demon races to despise her and even find it difficult to move a single step.

Sure enough, Xiaoxiao's words had angered everyone present. They all stood up and cursed loudly. Xiaoxiao did not expect that a sentence that was taken for granted would turn her into a target. She was instantly dumbfounded.

Mother Zhao anxiously said, "Xiaoxiao, quickly apologize to the Fourth Elder and everyone!"

The few elders stared coldly at Xiaoxiao and thought to themselves, "Good girl, you are still wet behind the ears. Don't think that you can be blind to your clan and your elders just because you have done your best. I'm sure I'll teach you a profound lesson this time."

All sorts of unpleasant insults made Xiaoxiao feel endless anger in her chest. She wanted to kick the table and leave. However, when she saw her mother's helpless and frightened appearance, her heart immediately softened again. She could only suppress her anger and lowered her head to say, "Sorry, Miaomiao is wrong, Miaomiao knows her guilt!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the curses gradually ceased. The expressions of the elders also slowed down a lot, but they were still cold and fierce. The Fourth Elder coldly snorted, "If it weren't for your great contribution to our demon race, it wouldn't have been too much for your outrageous words just now, let alone expelling you from the clan, even killing you on the spot!"

Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth and remained silent, but in her heart, she became even more determined to leave the Demon Realm.

Patriarch Lin Lingshen hurriedly explained, "Fourth Brother, that's enough. Since Miao Miao has already admitted her mistake, let's not pursue it anymore. After all, she is still young and left the clan early that year. She lacks the necessary guidance!"

Fourth Elder snorted coldly and sat down again!

"Today is the annual family banquet. Everyone enjoy it!" Lin Lingshen said loudly.

After a few rounds of drinking, the unpleasant atmosphere in the hall lessened a lot, and everyone began to warm up.

Lin Lingshen stood up and cleared her throat, "I have another important matter to announce today!"

Everyone stopped, their gazes intentionally or unintentionally looking at Xiaoxiao and Young Master Lin Ling, obviously filled with jealousy. Young Master Lin Ling straightened her waist and secretly glanced at the beautiful face beside her, deliberately concealing the excitement in her heart.

Lin Lingshen smiled and said, "Everyone knows that Young Master has outstanding talent and good looks. I believe that he is worthy of the daughter of any aristocratic family. Today, I will shamelessly propose marriage to Brassica niece for my grandson and ask Young Master not to marry Miaomiao."

Mother Zhao was instantly stunned. She had no objections to her daughter marrying Lin Ling, but she was worried that Xiaoxiao would not agree.

Just as Mother Zhao was hesitating, Xiaoxiao said first, "I don't agree!"
