Chapter 2: Cute Kids Escape, Planning to Split the Imperial Capital to Save Mother
“Xin’er, Chen’er.”
Chu Feng waved his hand, and the two children happily ran over.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light flashed by, and the next moment, they appeared in Chu Feng’s arms.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was a Peak Martial Emperor. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been shattered to pieces by this impact.
“Daddy.”
The two children rubbed their smooth, tender faces against Chu Feng’s cheeks, one on each side. Their childish and affectionate voices sounded almost simultaneously in his ears.
Chu Feng enjoyed this feeling very much, his smile stretching almost to his ears. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Daddy needs to go out for a while.”
“Daddy, are you going to the Imperial Capital to save Mommy?”
Sister Chu Xin, dressed in a red dress, with red lips and white teeth, had her hair tied in a ponytail. She held Chu Feng’s head with her small, fair hands and pulled it towards her. Her big, round eyes were filled with anticipation.
Brother Chu Chen was dressed in white, with his hair tied in two buns. His face was chubby and looked very festive. He pulled Chu Feng’s head towards him with his chubby little hands and asked longingly, “Daddy, I want to go save Mommy too.”
Previously, the siblings would ask every day where their mother was. Chu Feng could only lie and say that their mother was imprisoned in the Imperial Capital.
From then on, the siblings’ daily question changed to when they would go to save their mother.
Chu Feng shook his head and said, “I’m not going to save Mommy. I’ll be back soon. It’s very dangerous outside the village. You two have no cultivation now, so don’t leave the village. Village Chief Grandpa will take care of you. Be good and wait for me at home.”
“Daddy is going out to play alone again without us. Bad Daddy, I’m not talking to you anymore.” Chu Chen pouted and turned his face away forcefully.
“Daddy will be back soon. When I return, I’ll buy you lots and lots of delicious food and fun toys, okay?” Chu Feng gently pinched Chu Chen’s chubby cheek and said tenderly.
“I don’t want that. I want to go with Daddy.” Chu Chen said stubbornly, his chubby little hands crossed in front of his chest, as if saying, “You can’t coax me.”
Smack!
Chu Feng was about to say more when a small, fair hand reached out and smacked Chu Chen on the head.
“Little Brother, why are you being so disobedient? Daddy must have important things to do. Don’t pester Daddy.”
Chu Xin lectured Chu Chen with a serious expression. Perhaps due to the Divine Marks in their bodies, although they were only three years old, they sometimes spoke and acted like little adults.
And Chu Chen, who had been stubborn with Chu Feng, rubbed his little head, looking aggrieved, but didn’t dare to talk back.
This little guy might not listen to Chu Feng, but he would definitely listen to his sister, Chu Xin.
Sometimes, Chu Feng felt that his authority as a father was not as strong as that of the little girl, Chu Xin.
Of course, Chu Feng usually wouldn’t scold the children. Once he did, the two little ones wouldn’t dare to say a word.
“Alright, be good and wait for me at home. If you dare to sneak out, I’ll spank your bottoms when I get back,” Chu Feng threatened.
“Okay, Daddy, you go quickly.” Chu Xin waved her little hand and urged.
“Hmm?”
Chu Feng’s eyelids twitched. Why did it feel like this girl couldn’t wait for him to leave?
“Boo-hoo, Daddy, you must come back soon. We’ll miss you.”
Chu Xin seemed to realize that her tone was a bit off. Suddenly, her delicate little face showed reluctance, and her eyes became watery.
That’s more like it.
Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction, patted the two children’s heads, and comforted them a few more times before turning to leave and embarking on the path to undergo the Divine Tribulation.
The siblings saw him off at the village entrance, which warmed Chu Feng’s heart.
Unfortunately, he had already left the range of the formation he had set up in the village and couldn’t hear the sounds within the formation.
Otherwise, he might have been angered to death by the siblings’ hushed conversation.
“Sister, why did you stop me just now? If I had cried for a while, Daddy might have softened and agreed to take us along.” Chu Chen rubbed his little head, which had been hit by his sister, and asked with some complaint.
“Don’t be silly. When has that trick of yours ever worked?”
Chu Xin rolled her eyes at him, then said excitedly, “When Daddy leaves, we’ll sneak out ourselves.”
“Ah? Is that okay?”
Chu Chen hesitated. Although he liked to throw tantrums in front of Chu Feng, he was still a little afraid to sneak out of the house.
“What’s wrong with it? Daddy won’t take us to save Mommy, so we’ll go ourselves.”
Chu Xin’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Do you remember the stories Daddy told us about Yang Jian splitting Peach Mountain to save his mother and Chen Xiang splitting Mount Hua to save his mother? This time, we siblings will split the Imperial Capital to save Mother.”
“Okay, okay, okay. This is good.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen clapped his little hands happily. He clapped so hard that his chubby little face shook.
◈◈◈
“But…”
He soon frowned again. “Daddy won’t let us go out. Daddy said we have no cultivation, and it will be very dangerous outside.”
“No, no, no.”
Chu Xin extended her fair right index finger and shook it left and right, analyzing like a little adult, “Village Chief Grandpa said that cultivators are divided into Martial Artist, Martial Master, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor, and Martial God. Village Chief Grandpa also said that it’s already very good for ordinary people to cultivate to the Martial Master realm. Apart from Village Chief Grandpa, there is only one Martial King in a radius of thousands of miles. Village Chief Grandpa is also a Martial King, but he can’t beat us. He even calls us little monsters. So, although we have no cultivation, we are still very powerful. Daddy is just trying to scare us so we won’t go out.”
“That seems to be true.”
Chu Chen thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Chu Xin raised her left hand and shook her index finger, on which she wore a beautiful red ring. She said with a grin, “We also have the treasures Daddy gave us. Even if we can’t win, we can use talismans to smash them. We have enough talismans to smash for many days. Even if we can’t win with talismans, we can still summon Daddy’s spirit body.”
Chu Chen also looked at his chubby little hand. He also had a ring on his left index finger, but it was white.
These two rings were given to them by Chu Feng. Unless one’s cultivation surpassed Chu Feng’s, they could not be destroyed.
Each ring contained a small world inside, filled with talismans, pills, formation stones that could instantly set up formations, and various treasures that Chu Feng had refined over the years.
Even the clothes the two children wore were defensive Saint Weapons.
Of course, the most important things were the two summoning tokens, which could summon Chu Feng’s spirit body nine times.
His spirit body’s strength was comparable to an Initial Stage Martial Emperor.
For the safety of the two children, Chu Feng could be said to have gone to great lengths and racked his brains.
“Sister is right.”
Chu Chen finally made up his mind and urged excitedly, “Then let’s go quickly.”
“Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s wait until Daddy is far away.”
Chu Xin looked at the figure about to disappear from sight, her big, round eyes also filled with excitement.
Chu Feng looked back and saw the two children standing at the village entrance watching him. For a moment, he was filled with emotion and reluctance, and he had the urge to go back.
But thinking that he could only find A’Rou after overcoming the Divine Tribulation, he steeled his heart, turned around, tore through the void, and disappeared.
“Yay! Daddy’s gone, let’s go too.”
Seeing Chu Feng disappear, the two cute kids cheered, no longer showing the reluctance they had before.
“Wait, let’s leave a note for Village Chief Grandpa first, saying we’re going to find Mommy, so he won’t worry,” Chu Xin thought for a moment and said.
“Okay, I’ll write it.”
Chu Chen volunteered. Then, the two cute kids ran home in a flash, found paper and a brush, and started writing.
Chu Xin glanced at it and pushed Chu Chen away with a look of disgust. “Daddy told you to practice your calligraphy properly, but you didn’t listen. Look at what you wrote. Is this a ghost drawing?”
Chu Chen chuckled twice and stood obediently to the side, not speaking.
Writing was not as fun as practicing saber techniques, and it was certainly not as simple as grilling meat.
“Done!”
After Chu Xin finished writing, she looked at it and was very satisfied with her masterpiece. It had to be said that her handwriting was very beautiful.
Carefully using ink to press the note on the table, she turned and pulled Chu Chen, sneaking out of the village while the villagers weren’t paying attention.
Seeing that no one was around, Chu Xin quickly formed a hand seal with her small, fair hands and shouted in a childish voice, “Heaven Slaying Sword, appear!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a circular energy formation appeared behind her, and a red longsword emerged from the formation, flashing with terrifying sword intent.
At the same time, Chu Chen also formed a hand seal and summoned his black Heaven Breaking Saber. Overbearing saber intent surged.
The two small bodies leaped and landed steadily on their respective weapons.
“Go!”
The siblings shouted in unison. Divine Marks appeared on the two Emperor Weapons, and then they turned into two shooting stars, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
