Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Those Two Brats Stole the Treasures of Five Great Martial Saints?

The square-faced youth and the young archer were even more so, trembling under this might, their faces hidden behind their masks flushed red.

Only Chu Xin and Chu Chen were unfazed, staring with their big, round eyes at the Ancient Divine Pool.

The Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi merely twitched its eyelids, glanced at Li Yuxin, and then ignored her.

As a peak seventh-rank demon beast, with strength comparable to a peak Martial Saint, it naturally felt nothing from the pressure of a late-stage Martial Saint cultivator.

“Good!”

Long Shaoyu nodded and prepared to step forward with the square-faced youth and the young archer to attack the protective formation of the Ancient Divine Pool together.

After taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and secretly transmitted his voice to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, instructing, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, you two join in as well, but don’t use your full strength for now. If we can break the protective formation, then you can unleash your full power to attack those prodigies. Also, don’t try to sneak away this time, or I won’t take you to the Middle Province.”

These prodigies were unaware of the true strength of these two brats. If they suddenly unleashed a sneak attack, there was a high probability that they could instantly kill one, or even two, of the top five prodigies of the Nine Provinces.

As for threatening the two brats to prevent them from running around, it was because he suddenly remembered that these two brats seemed to have a way to enter the formation without destroying the protective array.

He was really afraid that these two brats would sneak in and eat the Ancient Divine Lotus while they weren’t paying attention.

Chu Xin turned her head to look at Long Shaoyu, then looked at the formation compass in her hand, chuckled dryly, and transmitted her voice, “Big Brother, you’re so smart, how did you know I wanted to sneak in?”

Long Shaoyu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He knew these two brats wouldn’t behave. Luckily, he reminded them early.

At this moment, Chu Xin shook her head again and continued to transmit her voice, “Big Brother, don’t worry, I’ve already checked. This Ancient Divine Pool’s protective formation has no weak points. I can’t sneak in either. We can only forcefully break the formation barrier or wait for this ancient formation to open on its own.”

Long Shaoyu nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the gathered prodigies.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen, as well as the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi, were all hiding their strength. The gathered prodigies, unaware of the true strength of these two and the beast, didn’t pay them much attention.

Almost all of the prodigies’ attention was focused on Long Shaoyu.

“Let’s continue. Hopefully, we can break this formation barrier ahead of time. Otherwise, when he arrives, our chances of obtaining the Ancient Divine Lotus will be slim,” Su Qingyu, the fourth-ranked prodigy, said softly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yebai and Li Yuxin’s pupils both contracted, their faces revealing deep apprehension.

A solemn look also appeared in Long Shaoyu’s eyes.

Chu Chen, who was drinking beast milk, turned his head to look at Chu Xin and asked in a low voice, “Sister, who is this ‘he’ they’re talking about? Why do they seem so afraid of him?”

“How would I know? I don’t know him.”

Chu Xin took a sip of beast milk, turned to look at Long Shaoyu, and curiously transmitted her voice, “Big Brother, do you know who this ‘he’ is that they’re talking about?”

Long Shaoyu didn’t turn his head, but his voice was extremely solemn as he transmitted nine words: “The number one prodigy of the Nine Provinces, Long Shaotian.”

“Long Shaotian?”

Chu Xin tilted her head, looking at Long Shaoyu, and curiously transmitted her voice, “Big Brother, is he your brother?”

Long Shaoyu nodded and transmitted his voice, “According to seniority, he’s my cousin.”

“Since he’s Big Brother’s brother, then why are you afraid, Big Brother? Could it be that he also spanks your butt?” Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes and asked with a puzzled look.

Spanks his butt?

Long Shaoyu turned to glance at Chu Xin but didn’t respond. He sighed inwardly. If only it were just about spanking.

“Alright, let’s get to work.”

Li Yuxin, the second-ranked prodigy, said in a cold tone.

Then, the gathered prodigies continued to attack the protective formation’s barrier. Various powerful techniques were continuously unleashed, causing the entire Divine Mountain to rumble. However, the formation barrier remained as solid as a rock, not even shaking slightly.

“Sister, that sister’s sword technique is similar to Auntie Long’s.”

Chu Chen, while casually attacking, looked at Su Qingyu and said in a surprised, low voice.

Chu Xin nodded and said, “It’s not similar, it’s the same. Her sword intent is exactly the same as Auntie Long’s, only stronger.”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Sister, didn’t Auntie Long say she was from the Middle Province?”

“Yes!”

Chu Xin nodded again.

◈◈◈

“Then can we go to the Middle Province if we follow her?” Chu Chen said with delight.

“That’s a good point, but she doesn’t know us. Auntie Long didn’t give us anything to prove that we know her.”

Chu Xin first nodded, but soon shook her head again. “Also, Big Brother said that we need a map to find the teleportation gates to each province. She also needs a map to find the teleportation gate.”

“That’s true. Then forget it. Let’s just steal the maps and have Big Brother take us there.”

Chu Chen scratched his head. “But we’ve already stolen the best maps from each province. What if she can’t find the Middle Province teleportation gate?”

Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, “We’ll take her with us then.”

“Okay!”

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

Because of Long Yufei, the two siblings had developed a great fondness for Su Qingyu.

Under the continuous attacks of the gathered prodigies, the protective formation’s barrier still showed no signs of breaking, which made the prodigies somewhat discouraged.

At this moment, five more figures arrived, tearing through the air. Seeing the gathered prodigies attacking the protective formation, they prepared to join in.

After all, everyone knew that if they waited for the number one prodigy to arrive, their chances of obtaining the Divine Lotus would be slim.

“Those two brats are here?”

Suddenly, one of them focused his gaze, pointed at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who were drinking beast milk and casually attacking among the gathered prodigies, and said in a grim tone.

These few people were the young Martial Saints who had been beaten up by the two siblings.

Because their maps had been stolen, the five accidentally encountered each other while trying to steal maps from others.

Perhaps because they shared a common tragic experience, the five hit it off immediately and formed an alliance, preparing to deal with the two brats together.

But they had searched for a long time without finding any trace of the two brats. Instead, they unexpectedly managed to deduce the location of the Ancient Divine Pool ahead of time and came together. They didn’t expect to see the two brats here.

“Damn brats, hand over the Five Thunders Fruit!”

The five young Martial Saints roared in unison and charged towards Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

They didn’t choose to attack from a distance, as that would affect the other prodigies and incur public wrath.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen both leaped into the air, dodging the attack.

Chu Xin took a sip of beast milk, looked at the five, and said in a childish voice, “I already told you, we ate them all. There are none left. Why don’t you understand?”

“Do you think we’re fools?”

Lei Wanjun and the other four surrounded Chu Xin and Chu Chen and said coldly.

Those things were simply impossible to consume directly. They had to be refined with special techniques, and the refining process took a considerable amount of time.

In their opinion, it was highly unlikely that any of those items could be refined in such a short period, let alone all of them.

“Five Thunders Fruit?”

“Divine Saber Milk?”

“Divine Sword Fruit?”

The gathered prodigies, upon hearing this, all turned to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

These two brats actually stole treasures from five great young Martial Saints?

Li Yuxin frowned slightly. Could she have misjudged them?

Were these two little kids actually the strongest among that group?
