Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 22

Chapter 22: No Matter How Good the Beast Milk Is, It’s Still Milk

“Big Sister, have they never had beast milk before?”

Chu Chen asked in a low voice.

“Probably,” Chu Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded her little head.

“How pitiful. They’re so old and have never had beast milk. We grew up drinking beast milk.”

A hint of sympathy appeared on Chu Chen’s chubby little face. Seeing that the female guards were only taking small sips, he couldn’t help but say loudly, “Aunties, you don’t have to be so frugal. We have a lot of beast milk. If it’s not enough, I can give you some more.”

“No, no, it’s enough, it’s enough.”

The female guards quickly waved their hands and shook their heads, then they all ran to the side to sit down and cultivate.

The old woman returned the small bowl to Chu Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Little friend, could you let this old woman have some too? I might need a bit more, about this whole bowl. But I won’t take it for free. I can trade you treasures for it.”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal-clear lotus flower from her Spatial Ring. The lotus flower emitted a cold aura.

This cold aura was very pure, unlike the sinister coldness of the Earthly Yin Spring.

“What a pretty flower.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen naturally didn’t recognize this treasure, they just thought it was very beautiful and liked it very much.

The old woman explained, “This Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was picked from the far north of Snow Province. Although it’s not as precious as eighth-rank beast milk, it’s still a top-grade sixth-rank treasure. This is the best treasure I can offer at the moment. When we return to the Imperial Capital, this old woman will compensate you in other ways.”

“No need for compensation. This flower is very pretty, I like it.”

Chu Xin waved her little hand, took the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. With a wave of her small hand, a stream of white beast milk appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the small bowl in Chu Chen’s hand.

Chu Chen handed the small bowl to the old woman and asked with a look of anticipation, “Grandma, do you have any more pretty flowers? I can trade you a big bowl of beast milk for them too.”

Although their beast milk was from an eighth-rank demon beast and was considered an eighth-rank treasure, in their eyes, it was still not as precious as a pretty flower.

The old woman’s mouth twitched slightly and she smiled wryly, “Little friend, those flowers are not easy to pick. I only had that one.”

“Alright.”

Chu Chen was a little disappointed, but he didn’t continue to pester her. He turned to Chu Xin and said longingly, “Big Sister, can I play with the pretty flower for a while?”

Chu Xin looked at the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus in her hand, then at her brother, and said, “You can’t break it, or I’ll spank your butt until it’s as colorful as this flower.”

“Okay!”

Chu Chen nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. After taking the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, he exclaimed in amazement, “It’s so pretty, and it’s so cold and comfortable.”

Cold and comfortable?

Hearing this, the old woman’s eyelids twitched.

That was a sixth-rank ice-type treasure. Even she had to use her True Qi to protect her hands before daring to touch it. Only these two monstrous little kids could ignore that frost power.

“Little Brother, have you played with it enough? Give it back to me quickly. I want to put it away. What if it melts?” After a while, Chu Xin spoke up.

“Alright, here you go,” Chu Chen reluctantly returned the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus to Chu Xin.

Chu Xin played with it for a while, then put it into her Spatial Ring.

At this time, the old woman steered the flying boat to a secluded place, gulped down the beast milk in two or three mouthfuls, returned the bowl to Chu Chen, and instructed, “You two, this old woman needs to cultivate for a while. You stay on the flying boat and wait.”

“Okay.”

Chu Chen nodded, took the bowl, went to the railing, stood on tiptoe, took out a jade bottle, poured a lot of water, and washed it several times before putting it into his Spatial Ring.

The old woman’s mouth twitched slightly. This little guy seemed to have a cleanliness habit.

But what was that water?

Why did it feel like the energy it contained was no less than that of the beast milk?

◈◈◈

Just how many good things did these two little kids have?

It really felt like a waste to leave them in their hands.

And how did these two kids grow up? They were able to ignore the energy impact of the eighth-rank beast milk. It was simply unbelievable.

Their father was even more unbelievable, to be able to get eighth-rank beast milk. He must at least have the strength of a Martial Emperor.

Nine-Colored Deer are generally at the early to middle stage of the eighth rank. And to get fresh Nine-Colored Deer beast milk, you must ensure it’s alive.

To be able to obtain its beast milk without killing the Nine-Colored Deer, one must at least be at the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm, or even at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

Cultivators of this level were few and far between in the Nine Provinces, and she knew all of them. She hadn’t heard of anyone having two three-year-old kids in recent years.

Could it be a hidden family that had never appeared in the Nine Provinces before?

The old woman thought of many possibilities, but she still couldn’t guess the true identities of the two kids.

The more she interacted with the two kids, the more she discovered their terrifying nature.

Not only were they powerful themselves and possessed many treasures, but the most crucial thing was their mysterious father.

No matter what, she must establish a good relationship with these two kids.

They seem to like my disciple very much?

Hmm, if there’s an opportunity, perhaps I can really let my disciple become sworn sisters with their mother.

And then have Her Majesty bestow their mother with the title of a Nine Provinces Princess or something, to first pull their mother into the Nine Provinces Empire’s Imperial Family.

In this way, wouldn’t these two little kids and their father be on the side of the Imperial Family?

The addition of a suspected Peak Martial Emperor, and possibly even a large family, would be like sending charcoal in the snow for the currently precarious Imperial Family.

In this short moment, countless thoughts flashed through the old woman’s mind.

She shook her head, formed a hand seal, and layers of light screens rose up within the flying boat, separating everyone who was cultivating.

This was a formation on the flying boat used for cultivation, which could prevent people from being disturbed when cultivating at the same time.

After doing all this, the old woman sat down cross-legged with anticipation and began to cultivate.

She had been stuck at the Initial Stage Martial Saint realm for many years, just a step away from the Middle Stage, but no matter how she cultivated, she couldn’t break through.

Today, seeing this eighth-rank beast milk, she had a strong premonition that the opportunity for her breakthrough had arrived.

It was just that half a bowl wasn’t enough for her to break through, so she shared it with the female guards.

Later, when she heard Chu Chen say that he had a lot more, she swallowed her pride and shamelessly traded for a bowl.

Chu Chen looked at Long Yufei, then at the old woman and the female guards, and asked with a puzzled expression, “Big Sister, why do they all act like this after drinking the beast milk?”

“I don’t know either. But from what they said, our beast milk seems to be an incredible treasure.”

Chu Xin guessed from their words. She picked up her baby bottle, looked at it, and muttered, “But I don’t see anything special about it. No matter how good the beast milk is, it’s still milk. Isn’t it just for kids to drink?”
