Chapter 27: Being despised by other demons

  The Hundred-Year Grand Competition is a grand occasion for the demon clan, and it's very important for every ethnic group. Because this is the only day when many ethnic groups can gather together without hatred, but only to hone their skills.

  Facing such a "pure" grand comparison, it has always been secretly murderous, openly and secretly, and every time there is a grand comparison or less, several small monsters will be lost. Therefore, the heads of various tribes are particularly careful, and when their own tribe's children compete, they will make preparations to take action at any time, just in case.

  It was on this prosperous occasion, on the fourth day after Xia Xiao Liang and others arrived at Yu Yuan Peak, that it officially began.

  Xia Xiaoliang stood beside Xia Mingchuan, because there were too many monsters, Xia Xiaoliang was a little scared, pulling Xia Mingchuan's hem and not daring to look around. Qiao Xin and Xiao Long protected the two of them in the middle, one in front and one behind, while Yan Wang stood on Xia Xiaoliang's other side.

  In front of outsiders, unity is always consistent. The three big ones have the obligation to take care of the two small ones. As for Xia Tian, he is not within their protection range, and the tribe leader personally takes care of him, so how can anything happen?

  Furthermore, it was only two days ago that Xia Mingjiang told Qiao Xin, Xiao Long and Yan Wang about what Xia Tian did to Xia Xiaoleng. The three of them were outraged and hated Xia Tian so much that they wished they could go and kill her right now. It wasn't until Xia Mingjiang mentioned the words of the clan leader on the day of their departure that everyone calmed down.

  Xia Ming River said: "The patriarch told me, 'Xia Tian's talent is extraordinary and will naturally have her use in the future. As for why I brought her with me, I'm afraid there are evil demons who will abduct Xia Tian, which would be a great loss to our cat tribe.' The patriarch did this because he believes that tribal affairs are more important than anything else. I also believe that the patriarch will handle Xia Tian's matters well, and I only hope that you three can help me protect Little Liang."

  It was this inexplicable "sympathy" that made them all willing to protect Xia Xiao Liang. In their eyes, Xia Xiao Liang was not only pure and lovely, but also strong and humble, and they were willing to protect her from harm.

  Xia Xiaoliang couldn't see how many people were standing on the square because of her short stature. All she could see from her angle were legs, some thick and some thin, like a meeting of thighs.

  "Xiao Liang, feeling stuffy?" Xia Mingchuan protected Xia Xiaoliang and asked with concern.

  "It's nothing, just can't see around and feel a bit depressed." Xia Xiao Liang shook her head, looking up at Xia Ming Chuan who was half a head taller than her, said somewhat dejectedly.

  Xia Ming's eyebrows curved and a hint of an arc flashed at the corner of his mouth as he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

  "Xinxin sister, Xiaoliang wants to take a look around." Xiaoming River said to Qiao Xinxin.

  Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "No problem. Come on, Xiao Liang, I'll hold you and you can see."

  Xia Xiaoliang heard that, first nodded happily to Xia Mingchuan, then stretched out her small hand to let Qiao Xing hug, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister Xing, you're so nice!"

  The scenery above is indeed different, with "people" all around, but in various shapes and sizes, with all sorts of fluffy ears. Xiaoliang really wants to touch them. Although there are many monsters, they are all gathered together, lined up neatly like a queue. The surroundings of the square, on the other hand, are empty.

  "That's amazing! I didn't know there were so many young people from the demon tribe!" Xia Xiaoleng exclaimed, like a child being held in Qiao Xun's arms, pointing forward with her finger.

  Her actions didn't seem like much in the eyes of the cats. But her age really couldn't help but draw attention from the demons around her, she was just too young!

  "Look quickly, where did this doll come from? How did these newly weaned kittens all get brought here?" This was a certain demon who disdained Xia Xiao Liang.

  "It's just that, in such a solemn and grand hundred-year competition, a kitten actually sneaked in. How ridiculous! Did the cat tribe come to play with everyone?" This is what someone who didn't like the cat tribe said.

  "This little kitten is so beautiful, I want to take it home as my wife!" This is just a wild and absurd fantasy.

  "This match is probably better off not continuing, with such a rookie participating, are they insulting our strength?" This one seems to be quite arrogant.

  ……

  Xia Xiaoleng didn't think that just watching from the sidelines would attract everyone's attention, and her words were extremely unpleasant to hear. Xia Xiaoleng's heart ached, and she suddenly burst into tears, causing all the monsters to turn around and look at her.

  That's right, all of them! Including the Lion Tribe leader who hosted this Grand Competition on the Tribal Leader Observation Platform, they all looked towards Xia Xiaoliang, who had a innocent face and was crying to the point of being disoriented.

  Qiao Xing hastily put down Xia Xiao Liang, and Xia Ming Chuan held her in his arms to comfort her. The scene was suddenly silent, under the dead atmosphere, there was only Xia Xiao Liang's weak sobbing sound.

  "Please continue," Xia Yu said with a dry cough.

  The lion tribe leader took a long time to calm down before continuing to host the opening ceremony of the hundred-year competition.

  "Xiao Liang, why are you suddenly crying?" Xia Mingchuan was perplexed. Although he had heard some gossip from below, it wasn't clear, so he asked this question.

  "They said I'm a kitten that hasn't been weaned yet! They also said that by coming here, I've insulted them." Xia XiaoLiang said with sobs, her voice shaking as she spoke.

  "They're too much!" Xia Mingchuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes seeming to spout fire.

  Qiao Xing hastily said: "Ming Chuan, don't be impulsive. With so many people around, who knows whose words are whose? For now, let's not stir up unnecessary trouble and focus on the competition. Once they see your true abilities, they won't dare to underestimate you again."

  Xia Xiaoleng and Xia Mingchuan nodded, Qiao Xing said that if they made a fuss without evidence, it would only make themselves appear petty and lacking in magnanimity. If they showed off their own abilities, let them see who was the most powerful, and see if they still dared to say anything!

  Xia Xiaoliang thought it through and stopped crying, wiping away her tears. She looked at Xia Mingchuan and said: "Brother Chuan, when you're fighting them, don't hold back! Beat them until they can't take care of themselves!"

  "Unable to take care of oneself, what does that mean?" Xia Mingchuan broke out in a cold sweat. Xia Xiaoleng's sudden burst of new vocabulary was too much for him, and he truly didn't know how to explain it.

  "It's just lying in bed and can't take care of yourself." Xia Xiaoliang said with hatred.

  Suddenly enlightened, it turns out that this is what it means for life to be unable to take care of itself! I get it now!

  After half a day of waiting for the Lion Clan's leader, Luo Li Ba Si, with his voice "the hundred-year grand competition officially begins", the crowd of demons cheered and the sound waves surged.

  "Below, everyone draws lots in order. Number one and number two, number three and number four, and so on. Eight martial arenas, one match in the morning and one in the afternoon, the daily competition schedule will be posted here, that is, on the clan leader's observation platform. I hope you all remember the time, don't forget, otherwise it will be treated as a forfeit."

  "The winner will continue to compete until the top four are produced, and then proceed to the final match." The lion tribe leader's voice was very loud, and whether it was the little demon behind him or Xia Xiaoliang and Xia Mingchuan in the crowd, they all heard it clearly.

  The clan leaders all dispersed, leaving behind only the young demons waiting for the draw.
