Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Chu Xin Once Again Transforms into a Strategist

Under the guidance of the Long Province cultivators, Chu Xin controlled the divine coffin to cross the Fire-Cloud Provincial Sea. After a day’s journey, they finally arrived above the Yun Zhou Provincial City, hidden among the clouds.

This Yun Zhou truly lived up to its name. There were more clouds in the sky than in other provinces, making it even easier for the divine coffin to remain concealed.

“Big Sister, are we going down?”

Chu Chen looked at the provincial city below through the divine coffin’s projection, asking impatiently.

Chu Xin frowned, lost in thought.

The several Long Province cultivators exchanged glances, each seeing a strange light in the others’ eyes.

Based on their speculation, Long Yuyan, the Provincial Governor of Fire Province, having suffered such a great loss, would definitely use the teleportation formation to come to Yun Zhou in advance to set up an ambush.

He might have even gathered all the Martial Emperors of Fire Province and Yun Zhou to lay a dragnet in Yun City, just waiting for these two brats to walk right into it.

“Should we warn them?”

One Long Province cultivator transmitted his voice.

“Are you stupid? These two brats are our enemies. Why would we warn them?”

“Exactly. I’d rather they get taken out quickly so we can escape.”

The other Long Province cultivators echoed in agreement through voice transmission.

After a brief discussion, all the Long Province cultivators decided to remain silent.

However, they had underestimated Chu Xin.

She took out a book and sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully flipping through it.

“What’s she reading?”

The Long Province cultivators were curious, but their bodies were restrained and unable to move. They could only see the words “The Thirty-Six Stratagems” written on the cover.

“The Thirty-Six Stratagems? What’s that?”

The Long Province cultivators were puzzled. They searched their memories of all the books they had read before, but had never heard of such a book.

“Judging by the name, it probably records three hundred and sixty types of strategies?”

“Strategies? Who would be so bored as to write these things down?”

The Long Province cultivators were speechless.

Chu Chen also sat down beside her, craning his neck to take a look. Losing interest quickly, he took out his ice-chilled beast milk and leisurely drank it.

The Two-Headed Little Pig, however, perched on Chu Xin’s shoulder, stretching out its two pig heads, and read with great interest.

Chu Chen took a sip of his beast milk and, seeing the pig’s serious expression, asked curiously, “Little Pig, can you understand it?”

“Nope.”

The Two-Headed Little Pig’s childish voice sounded, but it didn’t turn its head, still staring intently at The Thirty-Six Stratagems.

“Then why are you reading it if you can’t understand it?”

Chu Chen blinked his big eyes and muttered.

“So I can’t read it just because I don’t understand it? Maybe I’ll understand it after reading it a few more times,” the Two-Headed Little Pig replied.

“That seems to make sense.”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and nodded. He then sat down again and craned his neck to read along.

But after a while, his eyelids grew heavy, and he started to doze off. He struggled to stay awake for a bit, but his little head kept nodding, and he eventually fell asleep.

The Long Province cultivators almost burst out laughing at the sight.

At this moment, the brat looked just like the little kids in their clan when they were learning to read.

“Found it!”

Suddenly, Chu Xin exclaimed in delight, startling the sleeping Chu Chen, who jumped up from the ground.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Are we fighting?” Chu Chen looked around, only to realize he was still inside the divine coffin space.

◈◈◈

“Idiot!”

Chu Xin rolled her eyes and spat out the two words.

“Uh-huh!”

The Two-Headed Little Pig nodded in agreement.

“Hehe!”

Chu Chen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He then grabbed the Two-Headed Little Pig’s dragon tail and held it upside down, saying fiercely, “Little Pig, is your neck itchy again? My Big Sister hasn’t had roasted pig head in a long time.”

‘I may not be able to bully Big Sister, but I can still bully you, you stupid pig,’ he thought to himself smugly.

The Two-Headed Little Pig immediately shrank its neck, covering it with its two little dragon claws, and shook its head repeatedly, saying, “Second Brother, I was wrong.”

“Hmph, that’s more like it.”

Satisfied with the Two-Headed Little Pig’s reaction, Chu Chen threw it down and turned to Chu Xin, asking, “Big Sister, did you come up with a plan?”

Chu Xin looked at the book “The Thirty-Six Stratagems” again, and said excitedly, “It must be this, forming alliances, ambushing from ten directions, surrounded by enemies on all sides…”

She rattled off several strategies in one breath, her big eyes flashing with confidence.

“What does that mean?”

Chu Chen was confused. He didn’t understand any of these strategies.

Not only him, but even the Long Province cultivators were also bewildered, clearly having never heard of these strategies before.

Perhaps they knew how to implement these strategies, but they had definitely never heard these specific terms before.

Chu Xin stood up, holding 《”The Thirty-Six Stratagems”》 in one hand and placing the other behind her back. She paced back and forth with her short legs, like an old scholar, and explained, “That Long Yuyan from Fire Province failed to capture us, so he will definitely form an alliance with others and find more people to deal with us. This is called forming alliances. They definitely know we’re coming to Yun Zhou, so they will set up many ambushes in advance. This is called ambushing from ten directions. Once we enter Yun City, we will definitely be attacked from all sides. This is called surrounded by enemies on all sides.”

At this point, she stopped and looked at Chu Chen and the Two-Headed Little Pig, asking, “Do you understand now?”

Chu Chen nodded, then shook his head, “I think I understand, but I also think I don’t.”

“Uh-huh!”

The Two-Headed Little Pig nodded in agreement.

“Why are you so stupid?”

Chu Xin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, but couldn’t figure out how to explain it any further. She could only glare at Chu Chen and the Two-Headed Little Pig in frustration.

Chu Chen and the Two-Headed Little Pig lowered their heads like students being scolded by their teacher.

Chu Xin turned to the Long Province cultivators and scolded, “You’re all grown-ups, how can you not understand such simple strategies? You’ve grown so big for nothing.”

The Long Province cultivators were dumbfounded. What did this have to do with them?

Besides, they never said they didn’t understand. Was this brat deliberately venting her anger on them?

However, considering they were now this brat’s prisoners, they didn’t dare to argue and could only endure it.

“Sigh! What would you do without me?”

Chu Xin shook her head and sighed. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Little Brother, summon a Battle Body and change its color.”

“Okay, Big Sister.”

Chu Chen nodded and summoned his Purple-Haired Chu Chen, using a talisman to change his purple hair and purple eyes to black.

At the same time, Chu Xin also changed all the purple on her Purple-Haired Battle Body to black.

Then, with a wave of her fair little hand, she conjured a spatial gate and teleported the two Battle Bodies out.

The color-changed Purple-Haired Chu Xin and Purple-Haired Chu Chen crawled out of the divine coffin, their bodies flashed, and they disappeared from the high altitude, appearing in Yun City.

After asking for directions to the teleportation formation, they held hands and skipped towards it.
