Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 152

Chapter 152: You are the Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces? I am the Number One Prodigy of the Barbecue Sect

Everyone stopped fighting and turned their heads to look.

A handsome young man in brocade clothes came striding through the air, his hands behind his back. With each step he took, a pure white lotus blossomed beneath his feet.

This person was about twenty years old, and his eyebrows resembled Long Shaoyu’s.

With each step he took, his aura doubled in intensity, and the pressure felt by the numerous prodigies naturally grew stronger.

“Is this the Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces? He’s too strong.”

The numerous prodigies circulated their True Qi to resist the terrifying pressure. But as the young man slowly approached, the powerful aura forced them to retreat continuously. It looked as if they were yielding to welcome the arrival of a king.

As the young man drew closer, his aura grew stronger. Even Liu Zhentian, Lang Tianya, Long Shaoyu, and other young Martial Saints at the Initial Stage Martial Saint realm found it difficult to withstand the pressure and had to move aside.

Then it was Lei Wanjun and Su Qingyu. In the end, even Mu Yebai and Li Yuxin had to make way.

The young man walked with lotuses blossoming at each step, passing through the numerous prodigies, heading directly towards the Divine Pool. He did not look at anyone from beginning to end. His gaze was fixed on the Ancient Divine Lotus in the center of the Ancient Divine Pool, which was about to bloom completely.

One of the prodigies, unable to bear being so thoroughly ignored, shouted angrily, “Long Shaotian, so what if you are the Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces? If we all join forces, how can you resist?”

Hearing this, Long Shaotian finally stopped, turned his head to look at the prodigy, and a lotus flower appeared in his eyes.

“Ah! What is this?”

The next moment, the prodigy screamed in terror.

Everyone turned to look and saw countless lotus flowers growing strangely on the man’s body. These lotus flowers were frantically devouring his life force.

“No, get away from me.”

The man continuously slashed at the lotus flowers on his body, but each time he destroyed one, another would quickly grow back. No matter what he did, he couldn’t get rid of them all.

In just a moment, his body was covered with lotus flowers, and he stopped moving, clearly dead.

“He’s gotten stronger again.”

Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai’s pupils contracted, their faces revealing a look of horror.

With just a look, he had instantly killed a Peak Martial Venerable prodigy. Long Shaotian had never been able to do this before.

It was clear that Long Shaotian had also obtained some kind of opportunity after entering the secret realm, and his strength had increased.

After killing that prodigy, Long Shaotian still didn’t say a word and continued to walk towards the Ancient Divine Lotus.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Long Shaotian’s gaze sharpened. Two little brats, actually able to withstand the pressure of my divine ability?

The reason his pressure could intimidate everyone was not solely due to his own aura.

Although the aura of a Peak Martial Saint was strong, it wasn’t enough to make a Late Stage Martial Saint unable to resist with just pressure alone.

This was one of his divine abilities, called Lotus Steps.

With each step, his power doubled.

As long as no one forcibly interrupted him, theoretically, his power could increase infinitely.

This was why, although he could have arrived instantly, he chose this seemingly showy entrance.

He had thought that the strongest among the numerous prodigies were Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai, these two Late Stage Martial Saint prodigies. He hadn’t expected these two little brats to be even more resilient than them.

“I’ll see how long you can last.”

Long Shaotian snorted coldly in his heart and continued to walk forward.

One lotus with each step, his aura climbing steadily.

Under this crazily increasing aura, the numerous prodigies continued to retreat. Even the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi, which was also comparable to a Peak Martial Saint, couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

But Chu Xin and Chu Chen still hovered in the air, blocking Long Shaotian’s path to the Ancient Divine Lotus.

They still haven’t moved aside?

Long Shaotian frowned slightly as he looked at the two little brats in front of him.

“Those two brats, are they that strong?”

The numerous prodigies were also shocked to see Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who remained unmoved and even calmly drank their beast milk.

“Big Sister, why are they running away from him?”

◈◈◈

Chu Chen tilted his little head, tugged at Chu Xin’s clothes, and asked doubtfully.

“How would I know?”

Chu Xin carefully sized up Long Shaotian for a moment and muttered softly, “He’s not ugly, and he’s not scary either.”

Although their voices were soft, they didn’t deliberately try to hide them.

Everyone present had a cultivation base of at least Martial Venerable, how could they not hear?

He’s not ugly?

What nonsense.

That’s Long Shaotian, the Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces, a Peak Martial Saint.

He’s no weaker than the older generation of prodigies. Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a figure?

Moreover, Long Shaotian’s aura was truly too strong. They couldn’t resist it without retreating.

They really didn’t know if these two brats were pretending to be calm or if they really couldn’t feel Long Shaotian’s aura, to not retreat a single step.

“Those who block me, die!”

Long Shaotian spoke for the second time, his tone filled with intense killing intent.

Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes and asked fiercely, “Are you here to steal the Divine Lotus too? I’ll spank your butt until it’s sore.”

Spank your butt?

Long Shaotian’s eyelids twitched. This was the first time he had encountered this brat. He didn’t know her style and only thought she was deliberately trying to humiliate him. An unnamed anger rose within him.

However, since these two brats could so easily resist his divine ability, he put away his contempt and said coldly, “I am Long Shaotian, the Saint Son of the Lotus Sect of Long Province. How should I address the two of you?”

To be victorious in every battle, one must know oneself and know the enemy.

Only by knowing the origins of the two brats could he formulate a battle plan targeting the characteristics of their cultivation techniques.

Chu Chen took a sip of his beast milk, puffed out his chest, and shouted in a childish voice, “I am Ai Kaorou, the Saint Son of the Barbecue Sect from Grilled Meat Village. She is my Big Sister, Ai Chirou, the Saintess of the Barbecue Sect.”

Saint Son Ai Kaorou of the Barbecue Sect from Grilled Meat Village?

Saintess Ai Chirou of the Barbecue Sect?

What kind of ridiculous names are those?

The numerous prodigies were all speechless.

However, those prodigies who already knew the siblings thought about it carefully. Considering their actions, they were indeed two little foodies. These fake names suited them quite well.

“Humph!”

Long Shaotian snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

He had already revealed his identity, yet these two brats were still deliberately hiding theirs. This made him very unhappy.

Chu Xin tilted her little head, sized up Long Shaotian for a moment, and asked, “Are you the Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces they were talking about?”

“That’s right.”

Long Shaotian nodded, his head held slightly higher.

The title of Number One Prodigy of the Nine Provinces was his pride and glory, the proof of his dominance over the contemporary generation of prodigies.

“Being ranked first, you must be very powerful then.”

Chu Xin put away her baby bottle into her Spatial Ring and said in a childish voice, “What a coincidence, I’m also the Number One Prodigy. I’m the Number One Prodigy of our Barbecue Sect. Grilled Meat Village is ranked second. Do you dare to fight me?”
