Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 277

Chapter 277: A Second Blood Pool? Dig It Away!

“Big Sister, I can’t blast through it, what should we do?”

Chu Chen asked in a low voice.

Chu Xin tilted her little head, lost in thought.

“You are not the Provincial Governor, who are you?”

Inside the secret chamber, the hoarse voice sounded again, filled with vigilance.

The Provincial Governor would not violently attack the stone door. The person outside was probably not the Wasteland Province Governor.

Chu Xin did not pay attention to the person in the secret chamber. Instead, she whispered in Chu Chen’s ear, “Little Brother, do you feel that the aura here is somewhat familiar?”

Chu Chen carefully sniffed and said, “An evil bloody smell, very similar to the blood water in that blood pool.”

“That’s right.”

Chu Xin nodded, her big, round eyes sparkling with wisdom. “Perhaps that blood water is the key to opening the stone door.”

Thinking of this, she used her Divine Mark power to draw out the blood water from the blood pool and poured it into the stone door.

Ka Ka!!

The moment the blood water was poured into the stone door, the tightly closed stone door slowly opened.

“Aha, I’m such a genius.”

Chu Xin was overjoyed and did not hesitate to praise herself.

“Big Sister is so smart.”

Chu Chen also did not hide the admiration in his eyes. In his heart, besides Dad, Big Sister was the smartest.

“Let’s go!”

Chu Xin put her hands behind her back and walked into the stone door with Chu Chen.

The secret chamber was not large. It was filled with a scarlet bloody color and an evil aura, which greatly affected their vision. Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who had just entered, could not help but frown.

“Is that the Provincial Governor?”

The hoarse voice hidden in the secret chamber sounded again.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked in the direction of the voice and vaguely saw a pool filled with blood water, identical to the blood pool they had collected from the underground space of the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion.

The two siblings walked closer and saw a blood-robed person sitting in the blood water of the pool.

“What do you want from me?”

Chu Xin asked calmly.

The illusion formation they had set up was more complex and intricate than ordinary illusion formations. It used Saint-level illusion stones as its foundation and the two of them as the core. Anyone who saw them would fall into the illusion. Whether they looked with their eyes or sensed with their minds or Saintly Sense, they would be affected.

Although the blood-robed person had doubts when Chu Xin was smashing the door earlier, the moment he saw Chu Xin, he fell into the illusion. What he saw was the appearance of the Wasteland Province Governor, and what he sensed was also the aura of the Wasteland Province Governor.

However, the blood-robed person still had a question. He asked, “Why did Provincial Governor smash the stone door just now?”

Chu Xin glanced at him and said indifferently, “A spy tried to force their way in. I’ve already killed them.”

“I see.”

The blood-robed person suddenly understood.

He had no doubts about these words. Only he and the Wasteland Province Governor knew how to open the stone door. Moreover, only he and cultivators who possessed a blood pool had the blood water needed to open the stone door.

Since the Provincial Governor in front of him could open the stone door, he was undoubtedly the real Wasteland Province Governor.

Even if this person was not the Wasteland Province Governor, he was someone who possessed a blood pool and was naturally harmless to him.

“Why are you looking for me so urgently?” Chu Xin asked again.

The blood-robed person said, “Not long ago, Master sensed the aura of a second blood pool in the Wasteland Province. He asked me to find out who exposed the blood pool. The grand scheme has not yet been completed. The blood pool must not be exposed. Otherwise, Master’s grand scheme may fall short. Don’t blame Master for being ruthless then.”

The aura of a second blood pool?

Chu Xin wondered. Could it be when she used the blood pool to break through that bad guy’s fortune barrier?

This blood-robed person’s master is so powerful, able to sense the aura of the blood pool from so far away?

“Ahem!”

◈◈◈

Chu Xin coughed dryly and said, “Don’t worry, I will tell him to be more careful in the future.”

“Good. I’ve delivered the message. I’ll take my leave now.”

The blood-robed person nodded. Without waiting for Chu Xin’s response, he sank into the blood pool and disappeared.

“Hey?”

Chu Xin squatted by the blood pool and stared at it. How could such a big person just disappear?

Chu Chen asked doubtfully, “Big Sister, was that guy sleeping in there?”

Chu Xin tilted her little head, thought for a moment, then turned to Chu Chen and said, “Little Brother, why don’t you go down and take a look?”

“Why me?”

Chu Chen looked at the blood water, his eyes full of disgust.

“Because I’m afraid of getting dirty.”

Chu Xin said matter-of-factly, “Besides, I’m a girl, and you’re a little man. Shouldn’t you protect girls?”

Chu Chen blinked his big eyes and muttered softly, “Now you know you’re a girl? Now you know I’m a little man? When you were beating me up, you didn’t think of yourself as a girl, and you didn’t think of me as a little man.”

“Little Brother, what did you say?”

Chu Xin raised her eyebrows and rubbed her little white fists, the threat obvious.

“Nothing, nothing, I’ll go right away.”

Chu Chen quickly waved his hands. The Divine Mark power in his body surged, enveloping his entire body. Then he jumped into the blood pool.

The bloody smell of the blood water was very strong. Fortunately, the Divine Mark power isolated everything. Otherwise, he really couldn’t stand it.

After Chu Chen entered the blood pool, Chu Xin began to wander around the secret chamber. She found that apart from the blood pool, there were no other treasures here. It was obvious that this secret chamber was built specifically for the blood pool.

“There’s only this broken pool. Is it necessary to make it so mysterious? It would be better to put two Emperor Weapons here.”

Chu Xin pouted, looking very unhappy.

After wandering around, she returned to the blood pool and squatted down, her white hands supporting her delicate chin as she waited.

“Why isn’t Little Brother out yet? Could he be in danger?”

After a while, Chu Xin became a little worried. She had never been separated from her little brother for so long. “Little Brother is so stupid. What if he gets tricked? No, I have to go down and take a look.”

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still. She enveloped her body with Divine Mark power and was about to jump into the blood pool.

Just then, blood bubbles emerged from the blood pool. The next moment, a golden light appeared, and Chu Chen, enveloped in Divine Mark power, leaped out and landed beside Chu Xin.

“Huh? Big Sister, are you going down too? Weren’t you afraid of getting dirty?”

Seeing Chu Xin also enveloped in Divine Mark power, Chu Chen asked with some surprise.

Chu Xin dispelled her Divine Mark power, rolled her eyes, and said crossly, “You were taking so long to come out. I was afraid you’d been tricked.”

Chu Chen grinned and said, “There’s nothing in there but blood water. The space inside the blood pool is quite large, though. I don’t know where that blood-robed person went.”

Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he teleported away. Could this blood pool be a treasure that can teleport?”

“It’s possible.”

Chu Chen nodded and said, “Forget it, let’s look for treasures first.”

“There’s nothing to look for. There’s nothing here but this blood pool.”

Chu Xin pouted.

Chu Chen scratched his bun hairstyle, looked at the blood pool, and muttered, “Then let’s dig up the blood pool.”

With that, the two siblings took out their treasure-digging hoes and began to dig.
