Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 489

Chapter 489: Don’t Rush, Let Me First Look at the Thirty-Six Stratagems

These two brats went through so much trouble, almost kicking them to death, just to make them create an ice and snow domain every day for them to play in?

The two Half-Step Divine Disciples looked at each other, their emotions finally collapsing, and they began to wail.

The fear of death, the intense pain in their bodies, the humiliation in their hearts, and so on, all kinds of negative emotions burst out at this moment.

Isn’t it just creating an ice and snow domain every day? It’s not like it’s a big deal like going up a mountain of knives or down into a sea of fire. Why didn’t you just say so? We would definitely have agreed.

You didn’t say anything, just came up and asked if we agreed, then beat us up, and kicked us around like a ball. Is this how you bully people?

Xiao Ling’er and the others covered their faces in unison. The thought processes of these two little toddlers were truly too bizarre.

Making two Half-Step Divine Disciples specifically create an ice and snow domain for them every day to freeze beast milk. And also making them create snowflakes and ice and snow to play with every day. They had never seen anything so outrageous in their lives.

Looking at the two wailing Ice and Snow Sacred Ground disciples again, even they felt a trace of pity. Too pitiful.

These two little toddlers were too brutal.

“So old, and still crying. So embarrassing. I haven’t cried since I was two.” Chu Chen looked at the two Half-Step Divine Disciples with a look of disdain.

Chu Xin patted Chu Chen’s shoulder like a little adult, coughed twice, and said, “Dad said that adults can break down in an instant. Adults can cry too. We are not little kids anymore. We need to learn to understand adults, you know?”

“Oh!”

Chu Chen nodded in realization.

Adults can break down in an instant?

Hearing this, the two Half-Step Divine Disciples cried even harder. Although these two brats were hateful, what their father said was too true. Didn’t they just break down in an instant?

Pfft!

Xiao Ling’er couldn’t help but laugh. These two little toddlers were just too cute.

Wang Lanxi and the others were also full of smiles. In the eyes of the enemy, the two little toddlers were terrifying demons, but in their eyes, they were incredibly adorable.

Zhu Laojiu looked into the distance and whispered to Xiao Ling’er, “Sister Ling’er, ask them, has the Water Dragon King been killed? Where are the other people from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground?”

Xiao Ling’er nodded, came to the two Ice and Snow Sacred Ground disciples, and repeated Zhu Laojiu’s question.

But the two crying Ice and Snow Sacred Ground disciples ignored her and continued to wail. They were prisoners of the two brats, not the prisoners of that Aotian Empire girl. They would only listen to the brats.

Chu Xin raised her little white hand and said in a childish voice, “Didn’t you hear Sister Ling’er asking you a question? If you keep crying, I’ll spank you.”

Although her voice was childish, her tone was somewhat mature, obviously learned from the uncles and aunties in Dàshí Village.

The two Half-Step Divine Disciples immediately stopped crying, wiped their tears, and said, “The entire Water Dragon Lake has been completely frozen. All the Water Dragons have already fled to the deepest Water Dragon Island. Some of our Ice and Snow Sacred Ground disciples are setting up ambushes around the periphery of the ice lake, and some are besieging Water Dragon Island.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen listened for a while and felt bored, so they said to Xiao Ling’er, “Sister Ling’er, you ask them yourself. We’re going to see if those big bad guys’ Spatial Rings are still there. There must be good things inside.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Ling’er nodded. After the siblings left, she looked at the two Half-Step Divine Disciples and asked again, “How many of you are there in total?”

The two Half-Step Divine Disciples hesitated for a moment, and one of them said, “There are a total of one hundred and twenty people, including forty Half-Step Divine Disciples and eighty at the Peak of the Mortal Realm.”

The other added, “There aren’t that many now.”

“So many?”

Xiao Ling’er was a little surprised. The people from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground had gathered so many people so quickly. In comparison, the people from the Aotian Empire were too slow.

Zhu Laojiu pondered for a moment and asked, “Water Dragon Island is not close to here. How do you usually keep in touch?”

One of the Half-Step Divine Disciples said, “We communicate through the Ice and Snow Token. We have to report the situation to Water Dragon Island every half an hour.”

“Calculating the time, it should be time to contact them. If we don’t contact them for more than half an hour, it means something has happened. They will send people to check the situation or set up another ambush along the way,” said the other Half-Step Divine Disciple.

“Then contact them quickly. You should know what to say and what not to say. If you dare to say anything wrong, don’t blame us for being rude,” Zhu Laojiu threatened.

“Of course!”

◈◈◈

The two nodded repeatedly.

Then one of them took out a snow-white token, activated it with a special hand seal, and said, “Position one, all normal.”

“Roger that!”

Soon, a response came from the Ice and Snow Token.

Jin Laosan asked doubtfully, “Wouldn’t they have heard the commotion from our battle just now?”

Zhu Laojiu shook his head and said, “We couldn’t hear their battle with the Water Dragons, so they probably couldn’t hear ours either.”

Another Half-step Divine Disciple explained, “Our Ice and Snow Domain can isolate all sounds, so the sounds of battle inside can’t be transmitted out. Ultimately, the sounds of battle outside the Ice and Snow Domain weren’t very loud and couldn’t travel that far.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xin and Chu Chen with lingering fear.

“If we were to launch a surprise attack while they’re unaware, we’d still have a good chance of winning,” Zhu Laojiu said, frowning.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Forty Half-step Divine Disciples, eighty Peak Mortal Realm cultivators; even excluding those killed here, their numbers still far exceeded theirs.

In a direct confrontation, even with the help of those two little toddlers, victory would be difficult. But with a sneak attack, snatching the Water Dragon Crown and running, the probability of success would be much higher.

“Big Sister, that token looks like fun.”

Having just returned after collecting the Spatial Rings, Chu Chen, seeing the scene, immediately tugged on Chu Xin’s clothes, pointed at the Ice and Snow Tokens in the hands of the two Half-step Divine Disciples, and said with anticipation.

Chu Xin also nodded in agreement, her round eyes sparkling, and said, “If Dad, Mom, and we all had these tokens, we could talk to them every day.”

One of the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground’s Half-step Divine Disciples, hearing the siblings’ conversation, hurriedly said, “This Ice and Snow Token was crafted by my Ice and Snow Sacred Ground’s Divine Refiner based on the properties of Frost Power. It requires our Ice and Snow Sacred Ground’s Frost Power to activate, so it’s useless even if we give it to you.”

“That’s such a pity,” Chu Chen said with a look of regret.

Chu Xin thought for a moment and asked, “Then could your Ice and Snow Sacred Ground’s Divine Refiner help us refine this kind of token based on our power characteristics?”

“Well, we don’t know, we’d have to ask the Divine Refiner,” the other Ice and Snow Sacred Ground Half-step Divine Disciple said.

“Oh, well, we’ll definitely go to the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground to ask that Divine Refiner in the future.”

Chu Xin blinked her round eyes and waved her small white fists, saying menacingly, “If he’s unwilling, I’ll tie him up and bring him back to the village. I’ll only let him go when he refines it. Humph.”

The two Ice and Snow Sacred Ground Half-step Divine Disciples looked at each other, not taking the brat’s words to heart.

Although the two brats were quite strong, they were far inferior to the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground.

“Let’s go, to Water Dragon Island.”

Xiao Ling’er spoke.

“Are we just going like this? Shouldn’t we discuss a plan of action?” Jin Laosan hesitated and asked.

“We should discuss it,” Zhu Laojiu nodded.

Wang Lanxi’s eyes flickered slightly. She had a plan in mind, but after looking at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, she didn’t voice it.

“A plan of action? I know how to do that.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xin immediately became excited. She took out the book she had kept for a long time, flipped through it, and said, “Wait a moment, let me first look at the 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》.”
