Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 23

Chapter 23: We Still Haven’t Taken Out the Better Treasures Yet

One day later, a powerful fluctuation rippled out. Long Yufei, who was in seclusion, woke up from her cultivation, her face full of excitement: “I’ve broken through to the late-stage Martial Venerable realm.”

This body of hers was just a clone. Not long ago, she had just broken through to the mid-stage Martial Venerable realm. She didn’t expect that a mouthful of beast milk would allow her to break through again, entering the late-stage Martial Venerable realm.

Looking up, she saw that her master and the female guards were also meditating and cultivating, with powerful fluctuations of True Qi emanating from their bodies. She couldn’t help but be stunned.

“They drank the beast milk too?”

Long Yufei smiled wryly, but it wasn’t surprising when she thought about it.

Martial Emperor-level beast milk, a genuine eighth-rank treasure, was hard to come by even in a thousand years.

Just a mouthful allowed her to break through her bottleneck. Those two Cute Kids drank it every day, so it was no wonder their strength was so terrifying.

However, the physical strength, as well as the toughness of the meridians and dantian of those two Cute Kids, had already far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. If it were two other people, they wouldn’t dare to drink it every day like this.

“Auntie Long, you’re awake. Do you want some grilled meat?”

Chu Xin’s childish voice sounded.

Long Yufei turned her head and saw Chu Chen floating in front of the grill, flipping a piece of unknown beast meat, the aroma of the meat wafting through the air.

Chu Xin stood in front of the grill, gnawing on a piece of grilled meat while holding another piece in her hand, tilting her head and looking at her.

They really were two Little Foodies.

Long Yufei smiled slightly, got up and sat down next to Chu Xin. While eating the grilled meat, she said, “Little darlings, you can’t casually reveal your treasures to strangers in the future, or bad people will steal them.”

Chu Xin swallowed the grilled meat in her mouth, nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said in a childish voice, “Yes, yes, Dad said the same thing. We are very obedient and didn’t take out any treasures.”

Didn’t take out any treasures?

What did that mean?

Martial Emperor-level beast milk wasn’t a treasure?

Did these two little ones have even better treasures than eighth-rank treasures?

Long Yufei was stunned.

She now understood that the two little ones weren’t unaware of the principle of not revealing their wealth, but they just didn’t understand the attraction of these treasures to cultivators.

In their little heads, they simply thought that what they didn’t like wasn’t a treasure, and others wouldn’t like it either.

They had no idea how precious this beast milk, which they drank every day until they were tired of it, was.

Forget it, discussing this issue with these two Cute Kids was a bit damaging to her self-esteem. She’d better shut up.

Long Yufei silently ate her grilled meat.

Not long after, the female guards also woke up from their cultivation one after another. Without exception, all of them had broken through their bottlenecks.

They were only at the Martial Emperor realm, so they didn’t need much beast milk to break through, and it didn’t take them very long.

Although it was just a breakthrough to a minor realm, it was enough to make them excited for a long time.

Everyone looked at the two Cute Kids with gratitude and amazement. How many cultivators dreamed of such heavenly materials and earthly treasures, yet these two Cute Kids drank it every day like milk, and they were even tired of it.

The disparity between people was really infuriating.

Two days later, an even more powerful fluctuation of True Qi rippled out.

“Haha, I finally broke through, I finally broke through.”

The Old Woman laughed towards the sky, extremely excited.

Although it was only a small realm breakthrough from the initial-stage Martial Saint realm to the mid-stage Martial Saint realm, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

If she encountered Qin Feng again, she had a fifty percent chance of defeating him without needing the help of Little Sister Ai Chirou.

Even if she encountered the Yin Demon Saber Saint again, she would have the strength to fight.

How many people in the Nine Provinces were stuck at this step for their entire lives, unable to advance even an inch, and eventually died with regret?

The Old Woman didn’t expect that the opportunity for her breakthrough would be found in two little Cute Kids. Her decision to befriend the two little ones was truly wise.

“Big Sister, is Grandmother acting a little strange? Could she have gone mad?”

Chu Chen, who was concentrating on grilling meat, was startled by the sudden laughter and almost dropped the meat in his hand.

“Probably not?”

Chu Xin looked at the excited Old Woman and said with some uncertainty, “If she really went mad, wouldn’t I be the culprit? She won’t pester me every day, will she?”

◈◈◈

Long Yufei was amused and explained, “Don’t worry, Grandmother isn’t mad. She’s just very happy about her breakthrough in cultivation.”

“Breakthrough in cultivation? Why would she be happy?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were confused. The term “breakthrough in cultivation” was too unfamiliar to them because they had never broken through in their cultivation. They had no idea what it felt like to be stuck at a certain realm for a long time and suddenly break through.

“Uh!”

Long Yufei didn’t know how to explain.

Fortunately, the Old Woman walked over at this moment and thanked Chu Xin and Chu Chen, “Thank you, little friends, for helping me break through.”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. As long as Grandmother isn’t mad.”

Chu Xin waved her little white hand and said.

“Huh?”

The Old Woman was stunned for a moment. I just broke through a small realm, why would I go mad?

But she didn’t think much about it. She was in a great mood and everything sounded pleasant to her. With a wave of her hand, the flying boat started and instantly soared through the sky.

The rest of the journey was uneventful. Apparently, the person behind the scenes believed that three Martial Saints, plus a Blood Wolf, were enough to stop the New Provincial Governor from reaching the Provincial Capital.

In fact, he wasn’t wrong.

These three Martial Saints could indeed easily handle Long Yufei’s group.

But he had miscalculated one thing, and that was the two Cute Kids who had sneaked out of Dàshí Village.

From the moment they stepped out of Dàshí Village, the fate of the entire Nine Provinces was quietly undergoing unknown changes.

Two days later, the flying boat hovered over a huge city.

The city was built with dark black boulders, giving it a heavy and ancient feel.

“Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the Provincial Capital.”

The Old Woman said in a solemn tone.

On the way to the Provincial Capital, they had encountered three Martial Saints who tried to intercept them. The other party obviously wouldn’t let the New Provincial Governor reach the Provincial Capital and would definitely send even more powerful beings to stop them.

“Yes, Pavilion Master.”

The female guards responded in unison. Everyone had their hands on their sword hilts, ready to draw their swords and fight at any time.

Long Yufei also looked solemn. Looking at the peaceful Lánzhōu City below, she felt that this was the calm before the storm.

“Wow! What a big village. This is as big as many, many Dà… Grilled Meat Villages.”

“Such a big village must have a lot of grilled meat to eat.”

However, this solemn atmosphere was quickly broken by the excited and amazed childish voices of the two Cute Kids.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the two Cute Kids lying on the railing of the flying boat, standing on their tiptoes and craning their necks to look at the city below, commenting on it.

Seemingly sensing everyone’s gaze, the two Cute Kids suddenly turned their heads and looked at Long Yufei in unison.

“Auntie Long, you said you would prepare a lot of beast meat for us when we reached the Provincial Capital. Don’t forget.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Auntie Long can’t lie to us. Dad said that adults who deceive children will be struck by lightning.”

The Old Woman and Long Yufei rubbed their foreheads helplessly. We’re preparing for battle here, can you guys be a little more serious?

“Greetings, New Provincial Governor. This Official is the Lánzhōu Provincial Governor. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for the Provincial Governor in the mansion. I hope the Provincial Governor will honor us with your presence.”

At this moment, several figures soared into the sky. The man in the lead smiled at the people on the flying boat. His square face was full of respect, but his narrow fox-like eyes carried a hint of coldness.

It’s a trap!

The Old Woman, Long Yufei, and the others had the same thought.
