Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Damn Brats, Ruining My Formation’s Foundation

“This official respects Young Miss, yet Young Miss allows her children to repeatedly humiliate this official. Such behavior chills our hearts.”

The Provincial Governor looked at Long Yufei, his cold tone filled with intense anger.

Long Yufei also noticed something was amiss, and her tone turned cold as she said faintly, “Is the Provincial Governor deaf? Didn’t you hear them call me Auntie? They are not this official’s children, this official cannot control them.”

“Although you are the Young Miss, I am also a Provincial Governor appointed by the Previous Emperor. How can I allow you to humiliate me like this?”

The Provincial Governor suddenly flipped the table, intending to feign great anger and interrupt Chu Chen’s poison test by flipping the table.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen reacted quickly, his small body nimbly moving backward, not a single drop of wine spilled from his cup.

A moment later, he took out a silver needle and examined it, shouting excitedly, “Poisoned, poisoned, it’s really poisoned. I knew that bad guy would definitely use poison. Haha, I guessed it right.”

“The silver needle is as black as ink. Not only is it poisoned, but it’s extremely poisonous,” Chu Xin added, clapping her little hands with a joyful expression. “Wow! I’ve never seen such a potent poison before. It’s even more potent than the poisons Dad prepared for us.”

The female guards were speechless. The thought processes of these two cute kids were truly different from adults. How could they be so excited about someone being poisoned?

Also, could they explain what they meant by “the poisons your Dad prepared for you”?

“Provincial Governor, can you give this official an explanation?”

Long Yufei’s face was gloomy, her eyes flashing with a strong killing intent.

The wine was not poisoned, the dishes were not poisoned, but when the wine and dishes were combined, they became extremely poisonous. How ruthless.

If it weren’t for these two cute kids, she would have been in real trouble this time.

“Hahahaha! I never thought my plan would be ruined by two brats.”

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, the Provincial Governor stopped pretending and laughed maniacally, but his laughter was extremely cold.

“I told you, this uncle looked like a bad guy,” Chu Chen said, puffing out his chest and placing his chubby little hands behind his back, acting like a wise master, looking adorably cute.

“I told you his heart was even more wicked than his appearance.”

Chu Xin’s delicate face also displayed an expression of strategizing and controlling the situation.

“Humph! Damn brats, I’ll deal with you later.”

The Provincial Governor snorted coldly, then turned to the old woman behind Long Yufei and said coldly, “One Initial Stage Martial Saint and two Middle Stage Martial Saints couldn’t even stop the Young Miss’s steps. It seems the rumors that the Young Miss’s protector is only at the Initial Stage Martial Saint realm are false.”

The old woman glanced at him but didn’t speak.

In fact, if it weren’t for the help of those two cute kids, she really wouldn’t have been able to protect the Young Miss.

But of course, she wouldn’t reveal these things, lest the two cute kids be targeted.

“However, do you think these are my only tricks this time?”

The Provincial Governor stomped his foot, and the ground suddenly lit up with complex patterns, instantly forming a formation.

In an instant, waves of powerful energy surged into the Provincial Governor’s body under the support of the formation, and his aura rapidly increased.

“Young Miss, be careful.”

The old woman’s expression changed, and she quickly stood in front of Long Yufei.

“The God-Casting Formation, a legendary formation that can forge gods. Now it’s being used to forge a minor Martial Saint like me. It’s truly a waste.”

The Provincial Governor felt the surging True Qi within his body and laughed maniacally. However, for some reason, there was a hint of desolation in his laughter.

The aura emanating from him now had already surpassed the Middle Stage Martial Saint realm and reached the Late Stage Martial Saint realm, and it was still rising.

The old woman didn’t hesitate and directly summoned the Heavenly Sword Intent. A giant sword wrapped in lightning descended from the sky.

“It’s useless. This time, you are all doomed.”

The Provincial Governor waved his hand and shattered the Heavenly Sword Intent. He looked at the old woman and Long Yufei with a sinister gaze and said, “Why did you have to come to Lánzhōu? If you hadn’t come, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.”

Hearing these words, everyone was puzzled.

Long Yufei slowly stood up, looked at the other provincial officials, and said coldly, “Kill him, and this official will pretend you weren’t here today. Otherwise, if this official dies, none of you will survive.”

The officials’ expressions changed drastically.

That’s right, if the new Young Miss dies in the Provincial Governor’s mansion, the Provincial Governor will definitely be hunted down by the Imperial Family, and they won’t be able to escape death either.

◈◈◈

This Provincial Governor is simply insane, actually daring to poison the Young Miss here.

The officials exchanged glances and launched attacks at the Provincial Governor.

The Provincial Governor’s steward hesitated for a moment, then shouted “Long live the Empire,” and also charged towards the Provincial Governor.

“A bunch of trash.”

The Provincial Governor snorted coldly, raised his hand, and waved. Terrifying True Qi erupted, sending all the officials flying, spitting blood, and fainting.

“Next, it’s your turn.”

He turned to look at the old woman and Long Yufei, his killing intent undisguised.

He raised his hand and struck down with a palm. Terrifying True Qi condensed into a giant hand, ten zhang in size, crushing down.

The old woman summoned her Seven Star Saint Sword and thrust it upward, meeting the giant hand. The immense force struck her, causing her to instantly spit blood and fall to one knee.

“Young Miss, run!”

The old woman’s face was contorted from the effort, her veins bulging, looking terrifying.

The waters of Lánzhōu are deeper than she imagined.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Family is currently preoccupied with its own affairs, and those powerful experts have their own matters to attend to. She was the only one who could protect Long Yufei.

When she arrived at the provincial capital, she had investigated the strength of these people. This Provincial Governor was the strongest, but he was only at the Martial Venerable realm, posing no threat to her.

Therefore, even though she knew this banquet was a trap, she still came with Long Yufei.

At the same time, she had the same thought as Long Yufei, believing that even if the Provincial Governor wanted to kill them, he wouldn’t dare to do it in his own mansion.

But she never expected this Provincial Governor to be so crazy, and to have such an ancient formation like the God-Casting Formation.

In the end, she was still careless.

“Run? Today, none of you will escape.”

The Provincial Governor sneered, his eyes filled with determination, and the True Qi in his body continued to surge.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the Provincial Governor’s smile froze, and the surging True Qi in his body suddenly stopped and began to rapidly dissipate.

“What’s going on? No, impossible.”

The Provincial Governor’s expression changed drastically. He tried to continue his attack in a frenzy, but he found that the True Qi was dissipating too quickly, and he could no longer suppress the old woman.

The old woman felt the power of the giant hand rapidly dissipating, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face. Then, with a forceful push, she shattered the giant hand.

She carefully examined the Provincial Governor and found that his strength had already fallen back to the Initial Stage Martial Saint realm.

Looking down, she saw that many of the patterns of the God-Casting Formation beneath her feet had disappeared.

“Big Sister, I dug up a treasure.”

Just then, Chu Chen’s childish voice rang out.

“Little Brother, I also dug up a treasure.”

Following that was Chu Xin’s childish voice.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the two siblings had somehow run to a corner of the banquet hall. Each held a small hoe in one hand and a device filled with ancient patterns in the other.

At their feet were two holes, obviously freshly dug.

“Damn brats, ruining my formation’s foundation.”

The Provincial Governor’s desperate roar resounded throughout the banquet hall.
