Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Eighteen Divine Marks, Chu Chen Breaks Through to the Second Realm

“Alright!”

Seeing her sister’s determined attitude, Long Yufei thought for a moment and said, “Before that, let me go to Long Province first. If I can find those two little ones beforehand, I’ll quietly bring them back. As for the ancestral worship, I can go alone. There’s no need for Elder Sister to go. If I can’t find them, when the time for the ancestral worship is near, it won’t be too late for Elder Sister to go to Long Province.”

“Okay!”

Long Yurou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Long Yufei breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, she asked with a puzzled expression, “There’s just one thing I don’t understand. Why are those two little ones always chasing after that female prisoner?”

Long Yurou shook her head. This was something she couldn’t understand either. She had only recently learned of the female prisoner’s identity. It was impossible for the two little ones to know. But it seemed like they were specifically targeting that female prisoner.

“Wait! Did you say earlier that they specifically came out to find me?”

Long Yurou’s eyes suddenly flashed. She turned to Long Yufei and said, “Could it be that those two little ones mistook her for me?”

“Mistook that female prisoner for Elder Sister? My mind is a bit muddled. Let me think.”

Long Yufei was dumbfounded. She rubbed her cheeks and said incredulously, “Elder Sister, are you saying that they mistakenly believe their mother is imprisoned in the ninth level of the Imperial Prison? And since there’s a female prisoner in the ninth level, they think that female prisoner is their mother?”

“It seems likely.”

Long Yurou nodded.

Long Yufei suddenly understood. “If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. Why those two little ones emptied the Imperial Treasury. They see Elder Sister as the enemy who imprisoned their mother. In that case, the two little ones deliberately angered Elder Sister. Could it be that they wanted to provoke Elder Sister into locking them up in the Imperial Prison, so they could rescue their ‘mother’?”

Long Yurou nodded with a wry smile and said, “Now that I think about it, that’s probably the case. If it weren’t for your sake, they probably wouldn’t have participated in the Two Provinces Prodigy Competition.”

Long Yufei clicked her tongue in admiration. “Your two children are really clever. How old are they? Only three, right? They’ll be amazing when they grow up. I wonder how Elder Brother-in-law taught them. Not only are they strong, but they’re also so astute.”

Hearing this, a trace of love flashed in Long Yurou’s eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her lips. “My husband always comes up with strange and unconventional ideas. Naturally, the children he teaches are intelligent, lively, and mischievous.”

Long Yufei sighed inwardly. Only when mentioning her Elder Brother-in-law did her Elder Sister show such a genuine smile.

Long Yurou turned to Long Yufei and asked, “Yufei, this trip to Long Province is dangerous. Do you want to recall all your clones and merge them beforehand?”

Long Yufei shook her head. “Not for now. It won’t be too late to recall them when I can’t handle it anymore. Their strength isn’t very high yet. When they all reach the Martial Emperor realm, merging them will allow me to directly break through to the Martial God realm.”

“Alright!”

Long Yurou nodded and Instructed, “Those two little ones are important, but you are equally important. If things get out of hand, send a message immediately, and I will personally lead an army into Long Province.”

“I understand, Elder Sister,” Long Yufei replied with a smile.

“Oh, right, there’s also that female prisoner.”

Long Yurou hesitated for a moment and said, “She is actually our Empress Mother.”

“Empress Mother? She’s not dead?”

Long Yufei’s body trembled with surprise, but then she frowned and said, “That’s not right. I personally saw Empress Mother’s body and buried her myself. How can this be?”

“The jade slip didn’t explain the specifics. If you can find her, try to bring her back,” Long Yurou shook her head and said.

“Alright!”

Long Yufei nodded firmly and then took her leave of Long Yurou, turning to depart.

Seven days later, in the core area of the Illusion God Mountain Range, Chu Chen sat cross-legged in the void, a faint golden light emanating from his body.

The Spirit Gathering Pool had finished converting all the energy, yielding a full five drops of Divine Water.

This time, the quality of the Illusion God Power absorbed by the Spirit Gathering Pool was much higher than before. Naturally, the same amount converted into a different quantity of Divine Water.

Chu Xin sat nearby, holding grilled meat in one hand and a baby bottle in the other. She would take a bite of meat, then a sip of beast milk, occasionally glancing at Chu Chen, looking incredibly relaxed.

Roar!

From within the Illusion God Abyss, the angry roars of Illusion Beasts could occasionally be heard, along with the sounds of them crashing against the restriction.

Chu Xin got up from her small chair, walked to the edge of the Illusion God Abyss, squatted down, and looked at the Illusion Beasts below the restriction. She said in a childish voice, “Don’t make a fuss. Stay there quietly. When I finish eating this grilled Illusion Beast meat, I’ll come back to you when I want more. By the way, you can have more baby Illusion Beasts, so there will be more Illusion Beast meat in the future.”

Roar!

Perhaps understanding her words, the Illusion Beasts furiously slammed against the restriction. Unfortunately, this restriction was personally refined by their Martial God Daddy, and its power was immense. No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t break it.

◈◈◈

Buzz!

Just then, a beam of golden light shot up from Chu Chen’s body into the sky.

“He broke through?”

Chu Xin stood up, turned to look at Chu Chen, her big, round eyes sparkling with excitement.

Eighteen Divine Marks revolved around Chu Chen, each one flashing with a terrifying saber intent.

“Eighteen Divine Marks, Elder Sister, I’ve finally broken through to the Second Realm.”

Chu Chen opened his eyes, stood up from the void, waved his little fists, and said excitedly. As he spoke, he also glanced at Chu Xin a few times, looking eager to try something.

“I see.”

Chu Xin narrowed her big, round eyes and said with a smile, “What? Do you want to fight me to see who’s stronger?”

“No.”

Chu Chen had originally had that thought, but seeing his Elder Sister’s expression, he immediately chickened out. He quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying earnestly, “Elder Sister is number two in the world, and I’m number three. There’s no need to fight.”

“That’s more like it.”

Chu Xin smiled, nodding her little head. She was very satisfied with her authority in her Little Brother’s heart.

“Has Little Pig woken up yet?”

Chu Chen changed the subject and asked.

“No, he’s sleeping like a log,” Chu Xin shook her head.

“Elder Sister, he is a pig,” Chu Chen reminded her softly.

Chu Xin paused for a moment, then added, “Sleeping like a dead pig, not moving at all.”

“Oh!”

Chu Chen nodded and asked, “Then can we go to Long Province now?”

“Let’s go!”

Chu Xin took out the God Coffin, and she and Chu Chen jumped inside. Then, she formed hand seals with her small, white hands. The God Coffin trembled and instantly tore through the void, disappearing.

“This golden light!”

At the same time, in the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace, Long Yurou, who was comprehending the Old Martial God’s inheritance, sensed the powerful aura fluctuation. She looked up towards the window and saw the golden light piercing the clouds.

“When Xin’er broke through before, there was also such a golden light. Could it be that Chen’er is breaking through?”

Her eyes flashed with surprise. “That’s the direction of the Illusion God Mountain Range. Quick, send a few people with Blood God Masks to the Illusion God Mountain Range to find those two children and bring them back. Also, test the effectiveness of the Blood God Masks.”

The Blood God Masks were refined by Chu Feng and were an enhanced version of the Blood Demon Masks.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The old woman’s hoarse voice responded.

“Children, I hope we can find you this time.”

Hearing what Long Yufei said earlier, she thought the two little ones had already gone to Long Province. She didn’t expect them to still be cultivating in the Illusion God Mountain Range.

If she had known earlier, she would have sent people to search sooner. They might have already found them.
