Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Dad Says, Use Your Brain When You’re Out and About

“I don’t know.”

The two Blood-Robed people were quite stubborn. They turned their heads to the side and said coldly.

“You don’t know?”

Chu Chen’s round eyes widened. He grabbed one of them by the foot, dragged him to a distance, and left his Purple-Haired Battle Body to interrogate the other Blood-Robed person.

“Only one of you can live. Whoever speaks first can leave alive. Otherwise, you die.”

Chu Chen looked at the Blood-Robed person and said in a childish voice.

The Blood-Robed person’s pupils constricted. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the other Blood-Robed person and said coldly, “Don’t even dream about it. We will never betray the Blood Demon Hall.”

Chu Chen recalled the interrogation methods Chu Xin had used before. He coughed lightly and said, “You might not, but your companion might. Dad said, ‘Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost,’ right? For the sake of survival, people will do anything.”

The Blood-Robed person’s lips moved. He wanted to refute, but he didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this, Chu Chen continued, “My dad also said, ‘Better your friend dies than you.’ If you want to live, you have to speak before he does, and you have to tell the truth. Otherwise, I’ll dig your heart out.”

He bared his teeth and put on a fierce expression and tone.

Better your friend dies than you?

What kind of nonsense is that?

The Blood-Robed person was speechless. This brat could barely speak properly, yet he was threatening him.

However, this brat was too terrifyingly strong. He was so young and acted on his whims. He might really kill him.

Although he thought his companion probably wouldn’t talk, he didn’t dare to gamble.

If he didn’t speak and his companion did, he would be the one to die.

Seeing that the Blood-Robed person was still in a daze, Chu Chen frowned slightly. He took out a talisman from his Spatial Ring and threatened, “Actually, even if you don’t talk, I have a way to make you talk. See this? A Saint-Level Truth Talisman. It can make even a Martial Saint obediently tell the truth. You’re not a Martial Saint yet, are you? Do you think you can resist the Truth Talisman? It’s just that this Saint-Level Truth Talisman is too precious, and I’m reluctant to use it. So, you’d better tell me yourself, before your companion does, and you can still live. If I have to waste a Truth Talisman, even if I get the answer I want, I’ll still kill you.”

Saint-Level Truth Talisman?

The Blood-Robed person glanced at the talisman and swallowed hard.

This brat actually had such a treasure. If this talisman was really a Saint-Level Truth Talisman, then there was no point in him stubbornly refusing to speak. But he was a little worried. Was this brat using a fake, worthless talisman to trick him?

Should he speak or not? He fell into deep thought.

“Sigh! Forget it. It seems I’ll have to waste a Saint-Level Truth Talisman today after all.”

Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head and sighed. Then, he raised the talisman and slowly moved it towards the Blood-Robed person.

His movements were very slow, and his round eyes kept glancing at the Blood-Robed person’s reaction.

The Blood-Robed person didn’t move until the talisman was about to touch him. Then, he suddenly said, “Wait, I’ll talk.”

“Ah, that’s more like it.”

Chu Chen’s round eyes immediately revealed a smile. He put the talisman back into his Spatial Ring, grabbed the Blood-Robed person’s collar, and dragged him back to the center. Pointing at the God Coffin’s projection, he said with a grin, “Speak. How do we get out?”

The Blood-Robed person stared at the God Coffin’s projection. Everything around them was clearly reflected in it, and he was instantly filled with shock.

What kind of divine artifact was this coffin? It actually had such a powerful function.

“This way.”

After looking for a while, the Blood-Robed person pointed in a direction.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xin immediately formed hand seals, making the God Coffin change direction and fly through the void in the direction the Blood-Robed person had indicated.

“Wang Laowu, you traitor.”

His companion immediately cursed when he heard this.

The Purple-Haired Brat had threatened him with death, and he hadn’t yielded. He never expected his companion to yield. This cowardly, life-fearing beast.

The Blood-Robed person’s body trembled slightly, but he didn’t turn back to respond. Since he had already betrayed them, he might as well betray them completely. He pointed in another direction and said, “This way.”

◈◈◈

Following the Blood-Robed person’s guidance, Chu Xin made many twists and turns. After traveling for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, they arrived at a narrow Blood Cave.

“This is it.”

The Blood-Robed person said.

Chu Xin controlled the God Coffin to stop. She stared at the image projected by the God Coffin and looked around. She asked doubtfully, “I don’t see an exit. Are you lying to me?”

She turned back to look at the Blood-Robed person, her round eyes widening, a hint of anger appearing.

“N-no, the exit requires a special secret technique to open.”

The Blood-Robed person quickly said.

“Is that so? Then open it.”

Chu Xin frowned and urged.

“This!”

The Blood-Robed person hesitated at the last moment. Leading these two brats was completely different from opening the exit for them.

As long as he didn’t open the exit, he had a hundred excuses to muddle through.

Once he opened the exit, his betrayal of the Blood Demon Hall would be confirmed. If the Lord Envoy found out, he would definitely die.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said again, “I’ll give you one breath’s time to consider. If you don’t open it, I’ll make your companion open it. At that time, your companion can leave alive, and you’ll have to stay here forever. This is because you led us here, so I’m giving you the priority to choose. Do you choose for your friend to die, or do you choose to die yourself?”

Upon hearing this, the Blood-Robed person’s body trembled slightly. He turned to look at his furious companion, took a deep breath, and said, “Alright, I’ll open the exit for you.”

“That’s more like it.”

Chu Chen grinned. He had his Purple-Haired Battle Body take the Blood-Robed person out of the God Coffin.

The Blood-Robed person took a deep breath. He formed hand seals with both hands, and the Blood Demon Power within his body surged, gathering in the void.

Buzz!

In an instant, a passage that could only accommodate one person appeared.

“It’s done.”

The Blood-Robed person’s body was a little weak, and his voice had become hoarse.

Whoosh!

Chu Xin walked out of the God Coffin and said, “Take him into the God Coffin first. After I get out, I’ll release him.”

“Okay, Big Sister.”

The Purple-Haired Battle Body nodded and took the Blood-Robed person back into the God Coffin.

Chu Xin waved her hand and put away the God Coffin. Then, she entered the passage.

Buzz!

Her vision suddenly brightened, and a wave of scorching heat assaulted her.

Chu Xin looked around. This time, she didn’t appear at the bottom of the Provincial Sea, but inside a scorching volcano. She looked up at the crater, and her small body leaped out of the volcano.

“The air outside is so much better.”

She raised her little head and took a few deep breaths of fresh air, her face full of enjoyment.

The Blood Demon Hall’s underground Blood Caves were filled with that evil and cold aura, making her very uncomfortable.

Now that she was finally out, the fresh air filled her nostrils, and her mood instantly improved.
