Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chu Xin’s Plan to Save Her Mother, Mother Long’s Plan to Capture the Toddlers

Four hours later, the two siblings returned to their room.

Chu Chen held a formation foundation and examined it, exclaiming in slight awe, “Big Sister, these formation treasures seem to be very powerful.”

Chu Xin nodded and said, “Dad said that the more powerful the formation treasures, the more powerful the formation. If this formation is triggered, we might not be able to break it.”

Chu Chen put the formation treasure into his Spatial Ring and said excitedly, “Big Sister, my puppet rats sensed a place with many treasures. That should be where the Imperial Capital stores its treasures. Should we go take a look?”

“No!”

Chu Xin rolled her eyes and said exasperatedly, “Stupid Little Brother, we’re here to save Mother. Treasures are good, but how can they compare to Mother’s importance? If we alert the experts in the Imperial Capital, it will be difficult to save Mother.”

“That’s true.”

Chu Chen nodded, then asked impatiently, “Big Sister, can we go and break open the Imperial Capital now?”

“Not yet.”

Chu Xin shook her head, “There are too many people in the Imperial Capital. If we accidentally kill someone, we’ll have nightmares at night. Moreover, there are many experts in the Imperial Capital. We’ll definitely be discovered as soon as we appear.”

“Then what should we do?”

Chu Chen scratched his bun hairstyle, a troubled frown on his little face.

Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, “Little Brother, later you will hold a barbecue feast and invite everyone in the Imperial Capital. Use the Divine Pool Water, Stone Milk, and other things to make soup. They will definitely come. You bury the formation stones in advance. When you hear the signal, activate the formation stones and trap them all. Even if those powerful experts don’t go, they will be attracted by you. This way, I can safely break open the Imperial Capital. I will dig a tunnel from here directly to the largest house. If they ask about me, tell them I’m in seclusion.”

“Okay, let’s do it.”

Chu Chen nodded his little head vigorously.

“First, seal this tunnel.”

Chu Xin looked at the hole in the room and filled it with the soil and stones from her Spatial Ring. Of course, it was impossible to fill the entire tunnel. She only filled a part to cover the entrance.

Then, Chu Xin removed the formation stones and puppet rats, while Chu Chen opened the door and went out, asking the servants guarding the courtyard, “Uncle, hello, may I ask where is the largest open space in your Imperial Capital?”

The two servants looked at each other, feeling a bit puzzled, not understanding why this little doll was asking this.

However, remembering the Young Master’s instructions to fulfill the requests of these two little dolls as long as they didn’t leave the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, one of them said, “The… Imperial Capital’s Training Ground, it’s large enough to accommodate everyone in the Imperial Capital.”

“Is the Training Ground far from the largest house in the Imperial Capital?” Chu Chen asked again.

He didn’t know what the largest house was called, but according to his and his sister’s guess, that was the core of the Imperial Capital, and their mother might be imprisoned under that largest house.

The largest house? The Provincial Governor’s Mansion’s main courtyard?

Another servant smiled and said, “Not far, but not close either. It’s about half an hour’s walk for an ordinary person.”

Half an hour’s walk? That should be quite far. This is it.

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “Uncle, please go and tell Big Brother. Big Brother brought us to the Imperial Capital, and we want to thank him. Therefore, I want to hold a barbecue feast at the Training Ground and invite everyone in the Imperial Capital to eat barbecue. I will use Ancient Divine Pool Water and Stone Milk, treasures containing powerful energy, to make soup. It’s very nutritious.”

Stone Milk?

The two servants’ eyes narrowed. With their status, they naturally didn’t have the qualifications to know about the Ancient Divine Pool, but they knew about Stone Milk. It was a heavenly material and earthly treasure that contained powerful energy, and it could be absorbed by cultivators of all attributes.

“Little friend, please wait a moment. We will go and ask Madam and the Young Master for instructions.”

One of the servants said, and the other turned and hurried towards the main courtyard.

“Okay.”

Chu Chen nodded and returned to the room.

……

◈◈◈

Provincial Governor’s Mansion, main courtyard.

Long Shaoyu was discussing with his mother how to trick the two siblings out of their Spirit Gathering Pool.

“There’s no need to go to such trouble.”

Mother Long, however, did not agree with Long Shaoyu’s plan. She was very beautiful and had a well-proportioned figure. It was just that in her beautiful eyes, there was a hint of insidiousness that would occasionally reveal itself.

“What brilliant plan does Mother have?” Long Shaoyu asked curiously.

Mother Long took a sip of tea and said lightly, “You want to trick them into staying, but that’s simply unrealistic. Brats will always grow up and will eventually realize they’ve been deceived. At that time, they will inevitably vent their anger on the entire Provincial Governor’s Mansion. With their talent, given enough time, our Provincial Governor’s Mansion may not be able to suppress them by then.”

Long Shaoyu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, “Then, according to Mother, what should we do?”

Mother Long put down her teacup, a flash of cruelty in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, “Directly capture them and refine them into puppets. As long as they don’t die, the forces behind them won’t be able to detect that anything has happened to them and naturally won’t come looking for trouble. According to what you said, their talent is extremely strong. If they are refined into puppets, they will definitely become your powerful arms. At that time, even if Long Shaotian sees you, he will have to bow his head in submission.”

“This!”

Long Shaoyu hesitated and said, “Mother, those two brats are very strong. Father and Master went to the Middle Province. I’m afraid the people in the mansion won’t be able to control them.”

Mother Long smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Your Second Master successfully overcame the Great Heavenly Tribulation not long after you entered the secret realm and became a Martial Emperor. He is currently in seclusion to stabilize his realm. He should be coming out today.”

“Second Master broke through? In that case, doesn’t our Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion have three Martial Emperors?”

Long Shaoyu was overjoyed.

“That’s right!”

Mother Long smiled and nodded, “Although your Second Master has only recently broken through to the Martial Emperor realm, he is still a true Martial Emperor. No matter how strong those two brats are, they can’t possibly have reached the level of a Martial Emperor. It will be as easy as turning over a hand for your Second Master to suppress them. Moreover, I suspect that those two brats have very powerful special physiques or bloodlines. We’ll see if we can transfer their physiques or bloodlines to you. If we can’t, then we’ll refine them into puppets. Two three or four-year-old little brats, how could they possibly cause any trouble?”

“In that case, let’s proceed according to Mother’s plan.”

Long Shaoyu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Mother Long smiled with satisfaction. In her opinion, to achieve great things, one must have deep schemes and ruthless methods. Her son just happened to have these two great advantages, and he would surely achieve great things in the future.

“Madam, Young Master.”

At this moment, the servant hurried over.

“Do those two brats have something to say?” Long Shaoyu frowned.

Mother Long leisurely drank her tea and did not speak again.

The servant said, “That brat said he wants to thank the Young Master for bringing them to the Imperial Capital. He wants to hold a barbecue feast at the Training Ground and invite everyone in the Imperial Capital to eat barbecue. He also said he would use Divine Pool Water and Stone Milk to make soup.”

Long Shaoyu glanced at Mother Long, thought for a moment, and said, “Notify everyone in the mansion to attend the barbecue feast. As long as they don’t leave the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, fulfill all their requests.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The servant accepted the order and left.

Long Shaoyu looked outside, his eyes slightly narrowed, and muttered, “Brats, oh brats, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Just blame yourselves for having too many treasures.”
