Chapter 303: Ye Hongxue: Are these the two children Her Majesty is looking for?
“Humph!”
The four cultivators coldly snorted in unison and turned their heads away.
“They have tokens on them that allow them to enter and exit the secret chamber freely.”
Just then, the woman’s voice came from behind.
“Ye Hongxue!”
The four cultivators turned their heads together and glared at the woman.
“I see.”
Chu Xin suddenly understood, walked up to the hook-nosed cultivator, looked at him, shook her head, and walked away, muttering, “Too ugly, I can’t do it.”
Too ugly?
The hook-nosed cultivator was so angry that he almost exploded. It was one thing to be physically hurt, but now he had to endure a blow to his heart.
Chu Xin walked up to the narrow-eyed cultivator, looked down at him, shook her head, and walked away again. “This one is even uglier.”
Even uglier?
The narrow-eyed cultivator was instantly furious and roared, “Damn brat, is there something wrong with your eyes? How am I uglier than him?”
If she had simply said he was ugly, it would have been fine, but to say he was even uglier than the hook-nosed cultivator was unacceptable to him.
“How are you not uglier than me?”
The hook-nosed cultivator retorted, feeling a little better, at least he had someone to share the burden.
Chu Xin ignored the two arguing about who was uglier, put her little hands behind her back, and walked up to the other two cultivators. She looked left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered, “Although they are not good-looking either, at least they are more pleasing to the eye.”
The two of them had mournful faces but were secretly relieved.
Normally, if someone said they were not good-looking, they would be angry, but now, with the previous two being ugly and even uglier as a comparison, the evaluation of not being good-looking was not so hard to accept.
“It’s you.”
Chu Xin randomly chose a cultivator, stood in front of him, and said with a smile, “Bad Uncle, only one of you four can live. Do you want to die or live?”
“Humph!”
The man snorted coldly and turned his head away.
“Looks like Bad Uncle is not afraid of death. Then I’ll have to grant your wish.”
Chu Xin waved her little white hand, and a terrifying sword energy appeared, hovering above the cultivator’s head.
The powerful sword intent continuously assaulted his soul, causing him unbearable pain.
The sword energy that could fall at any moment and end his life filled him with fear.
Death was not scary; what was scary was the process of waiting for death.
“I want to live, I want to live.”
It was not easy to cultivate to the Peak Martial Saint realm. He still wanted to take another step forward and become a Martial Emperor. Naturally, he didn’t want to die so aggrievedly.
Under the threat of death, the cultivator finally compromised.
“That’s right. Daddy said, if you die, you have nothing. If you live, anything is possible.”
Chu Xin smiled, dispersed the sword energy, took out her baby bottle, took a sip, and said, “It’s very simple to live. Hand over your spatial ring and the spatial rings of the other three, and remove the imprints on them. Otherwise, humph, humph.”
Her voice was childish and sounded very cute, but at this moment, it was undoubtedly the voice of a demon in the ears of the four cultivators.
“This…”
The cultivator hesitated. It was not difficult to hand over his own spatial ring to survive, but the other three companions would not hand over their spatial rings so easily.
◈◈◈
“What? Bad Uncle doesn’t want to live anymore?”
Chu Xin saw that he was not moving and raised her pretty little eyebrows. She turned to look at another cultivator and muttered, “Of these four bad guys, this one is the most presentable. I was going to give him the chance to live first, but he doesn’t cherish it. Looks like I have to switch.”
“No, I can do it.”
The cultivator heard this and quickly shouted.
There was only one chance to live. How could he let someone else have it?
Now, he was very grateful to his parents for making him a little bit better-looking. Otherwise, this chance to live would have been someone else’s.
Chu Xin waved her hand, released the chains on the cultivator, and said with a smile, “That’s right. Daddy said, if a man doesn’t look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. Protecting yourself is the most important thing.”
The newly rescued woman heard this and felt a little speechless. How did these two little toddlers’ father educate them? Teaching them things like “if a man doesn’t look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him”?
“Did Daddy really say that? I don’t remember.”
Chu Chen, who was digging the blood pool, grabbed his treasure-digging hoe, raised his head, his big round eyes full of confusion. He tried hard to think but still had no clue. He shook his head and muttered, “Forget it. Anyway, I can’t remember a lot of the things Daddy said.”
Then he continued to wave his treasure-digging hoe.
The cultivator had a mournful face. He quickly took off his spatial ring, erased the imprint on it, and threw it to Chu Xin. Then he turned to look at the other three cultivators, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Three brothers, I’m sorry.”
“Fourth Elder, we have always treated you well. You can’t do this to us.”
The hook-nosed cultivator saw the killing intent in the cultivator’s eyes and quickly played the emotional card.
“That’s right, it’s just a spatial ring. We’ll give it to you.”
The narrow-eyed cultivator also quickly spoke up.
“Yes, yes, yes, we’ll also hand over our spatial rings.”
The other cultivator echoed repeatedly.
The cultivator turned to look at Chu Xin, waiting for her order.
He really couldn’t bring himself to attack his fellow sect members. If they were willing to hand over their spatial rings, that would be even better.
Chu Xin frowned, seemingly very conflicted. After a long time, she sighed and said, “In that case, take their spatial rings and give them to me. Who told me to be a kind-hearted girl?”
The three cultivators were relieved when they heard this. They directly used their Saintly Sense to erase the imprints on their spatial rings. This way, others could easily take the spatial rings. Otherwise, they would have to kill them or cut off the fingers wearing the spatial rings.
Chu Xin scanned the four spatial rings. Indeed, there were no imprints on them. Inside, besides some cultivation techniques and treasures, there were four black tokens. Presumably, these were the tokens that the Auntie mentioned, allowing entry and exit from the secret chamber.
After putting away the spatial rings, Chu Xin waved her little white hand, and a talisman flew out, binding the cultivator again. She said with a smile, “Bad Uncle, just lie down for a while longer. The talisman will naturally release when the time is up.”
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the blood pool, looking at the woman with an innocent expression and greeting her, “Auntie, hello.”
“Hello.”
The woman was also sizing up Chu Xin, thinking to herself, “Two children under five years old, with incredibly strong powers, wearing dragon and phoenix masks, one sister, one brother. This is exactly like the two children described in Her Majesty’s secret decree. Could these be the two children with powerful backgrounds that Her Majesty is looking for? But how can I persuade them to willingly go with me to the Middle Province Imperial Capital to see Her Majesty?”
She was a little distressed. These two children were so terrifyingly strong that she didn’t have the power to take them away by force.
“Little sister, my name is Ye Hongxue. What’s your name?”
The woman put on a kind smile, deciding to build a good relationship first. Little did she know that she had lost too much blood, and her face was a little pale, making her smile look rather creepy.
Fortunately, Chu Xin didn’t mind. She said with a smile, “My name is Ai Chirou. That’s my younger brother, Ai Kaorou. Auntie Ye, where is this place? Do you know how to get to the Middle Province?”
