Chapter 339: Chu Xin: Ancient Treasures Taste So Bad

“Once I break through, I’m going to eat a hundred roasted pigs.”

Chu Xin mumbled while eating.

The Two-Headed Little Pig, originally resting on Chu Chen’s shoulder, trembled upon hearing this and nearly fell.

“Not talking about you.”

Chu Chen patted the Two-Headed Little Pig and reassured it, “You’re not a pig anymore, you’re a Dragon Pig, don’t always think of yourself as a pig.”

“Oh!”

Hearing that it wasn’t going to be eaten, the Two-Headed Little Pig settled back down and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Two hours later, Chu Xin had consumed all the ancient treasures containing divine power that Long Yufei had brought.

Whether it was a saber, spear, sword, halberd, hammer, or axe, they were all as fragile as candy under her white teeth, easily crushed with a bite. Ye Hongxue and Long Yufei were left speechless, staring in disbelief for a long time.

Unfortunately, even after consuming so many ancient treasures, it only helped Chu Xin condense another divine mark on her right foot, bringing the total to sixteen divine marks. She still hadn’t broken through.

“Still no breakthrough?”

Long Yufei frowned slightly. The amount of energy this little toddler needed far exceeded her expectations.

Although each of these ancient treasures didn’t contain a lot of divine power individually, the combined amount was enormous, enough that even a Martial God couldn’t absorb it all.

She had thought these ancient treasures would be enough for the two little toddlers to break through, but she never expected that not even one could break through.

The crucial point was that the competition was about to start. How could these two little toddlers defeat the Long Province Prodigies without breaking through?

“Wait a little longer, I’ll go find some more for you.”

Long Yufei said, then turned and tore through the void.

These ancient treasures were all the Imperial Family’s treasures. It seemed she had to go to the Middle Province Sacred Grounds.

She first returned to the Imperial Palace to report to Empress Sister Long Yurou, then obtained an imperial decree before heading to the Middle Province Sacred Grounds.

An hour later, Long Yufei returned to the Ye Residence and handed Chu Xin a Spatial Ring, saying, “This is the last batch of ancient treasures containing divine power that I could find.”

Chu Xin took the Spatial Ring, glanced inside, and said, “I don’t know if I can break through, but I’ll try.”

Long Yufei nodded and sat down to wait. She had to admit that the Sacred Grounds’ foundation was deeper than the Imperial Family’s, at least in terms of ancient treasures. They had far more.

However, exchanging for so many ancient treasures from the Sacred Grounds had cost the Imperial Family dearly. She hoped this little toddler could successfully break through.

Chu Xin returned to her seat and began the “painful journey” of eating ancient treasures again.

These ancient treasures tasted terrible. If she hadn’t promised to help Auntie Long beat up that Long Shaotian, she wouldn’t want to eat these disgusting things.

Long Yufei anxiously watched the sky. Judging by the time, the competition had already begun. She could only hope that her sister could stall for a little longer.

Ye Hongxue glanced at Long Yufei and asked, “Your Highness Princess, has the Two Provinces Prodigy Competition between Long Province and Middle Province already begun?”

“Yes!”

Long Yufei nodded.

Ye Hongxue frowned slightly, then looked at Chu Chen, who was leisurely drinking beast milk and eating grilled meat, and asked, “How about letting Ai Kaorou give it a try? Didn’t you say you only need to win one match?”

Long Yufei shook her head and said, “Long Yusheng isn’t a fool. If he suddenly sees an unfamiliar prodigy on stage, he’ll be on guard and directly send Long Shaotian. That Long Shaotian is said to have been empowered by a descended god using a secret technique from the God Realm. His strength is beyond that of ordinary Martial Emperors. Ai Kaorou might not be able to defeat him.”

Ye Hongxue thought about it and agreed. She turned to look at Chu Xin, who was gobbling down ancient treasures, and mumbled, “Then we can only pray that Ai Chirou can break through quickly.”

Chu Chen, on the other hand, wasn’t worried. He sat in a large chair, dangling his little feet and leisurely drinking beast milk.

As for the Two-Headed Little Pig, it was even less concerned, sleeping soundly on Chu Chen’s shoulder.

Another hour passed. Under the anxious gazes of Ye Hongxue and Long Yufei, a golden light appeared on Chu Xin’s left foot and gradually condensed into a golden divine mark.

Seventeen divine marks. Her strength had greatly increased, but there were still no signs of a breakthrough.

“Still can’t break through?”

Long Yufei frowned, her heart filled with shock.

◈◈◈

The amount of divine power accumulated from so many ancient treasures was enormous. How could it still not be enough for this little one to break through?

The Two Provinces Prodigy Competition had already begun. With the strength of the Middle Province Prodigies, they probably couldn’t hold out for long against the Long Province Prodigies. What should they do?

Long Yufei rubbed her forehead, feeling very troubled.

Right, that little toddler mentioned before that they could devour energy?

Thinking of this, she looked up at Chu Xin and asked, “Ai Chirou, can you cultivate by devouring energy?”

“Yes.”

Chu Xin nodded. The divine water transformed by her brother’s Spirit Gathering Pool could help her break through faster.

“Any kind of energy?”

Long Yufei thought for a moment and asked again.

“Probably.”

Chu Xin hesitated for a moment before answering.

So far, the Spirit Gathering Pool seemed to be able to devour any kind of energy.

Long Yufei pondered for a moment, then turned to Ye Hongxue and said, “Take them to the Middle Province Forbidden Ground. I’ll go report to my sister and hope she can find a way to stall for a few more days.”

“Middle Province Forbidden Ground?”

Ye Hongxue’s mouth gaped open in disbelief. “Your Highness Princess, even Martial Emperors don’t dare to enter the Middle Province Forbidden Ground. Are you sure you want them to go in there?”

Long Yufei shook her head and said, “They don’t need to go deep. Even at the outer edge, the strange energy is very dense. Let them devour energy at the edge. I’ll be there soon.”

Chu Xin blinked her big eyes, took a sip of beast milk, and asked curiously, “Is this Middle Province Forbidden Ground very dangerous?”

Ye Hongxue smiled wryly, “More than dangerous. For countless years, even Martial Emperors could only stay at the periphery, not daring to go too deep. Once they go deep, it’s basically certain death. To this day, no one knows what’s hidden deep inside.”

“I see.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s big eyes sparkled with a hint of eagerness.

Seeing this, Long Yufei frowned slightly, feeling that these two little toddlers were a bit unreliable. She sternly warned, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, remember not to go deep. Just stay at the edge and devour energy. If there’s any danger, retreat immediately. Do you understand?”

“We understand, Auntie Long.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, their big eyes darting around.

“Do you really understand?”

Long Yufei looked at them suspiciously.

“Auntie Long, we really understand.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen said obediently, but whether they truly understood was another matter.

“Alright!”

Long Yufei nodded and turned to leave again.

“Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, let’s go.”

Ye Hongxue stood up and said.

“Okay, Auntie Ye.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison, then followed Ye Hongxue, tearing through the void.
