Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 490

Chapter 490: These Two Are Such Drama Queens

“What’s that?”

Xiao Ling’er and the others came over with puzzled expressions and took a look, revealing even more bewildered looks.

The book was filled with drawings, large and small, densely packed together. They looked at it for a long time. Some of the drawings seemed understandable, but they didn’t understand what they were for.

Chu Xin ignored them, focused on flipping through the book, completely absorbed.

“Could this be some kind of ancient text with pictures? Recording some powerful divine abilities?”

After a while, Jin Laosan asked with some uncertainty.

“Ancient text with pictures?”

Xiao Ling’er and the others widened their eyes and looked carefully for a long time again, still unable to understand what those drawings meant.

The two half-step Divine Disciples from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground, who were initially too embarrassed to look, couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.

Ancient text with pictures recording divine abilities, that’s a treasure that’s hard to come by even in ten thousand years. Even if they died after looking at it, it would be a death without regrets.

Chu Chen, who was beside them, glanced at it and said in a childish voice, “It’s not ancient text with pictures. That was drawn by my Dad for my Big Sister. Only my Big Sister can understand it.”

“Ai Kaorou, even you can’t understand it?” Xiao Ling’er asked in surprise.

Chu Chen shook his little head and mumbled, “Dad asked us to learn to read. Big Sister and I both thought learning to read was too slow, so we didn’t want to learn. Well, Big Sister did learn some words. I only learned a few numbers, and I didn’t learn the rest. Then Dad drew some pictures for us, and each picture has a fixed meaning. Big Sister really likes these pictures, she learned them right away. I don’t like looking at these pictures. I only like grilled meat, so I didn’t learn them.”

Xiao Ling’er and the others were speechless. This little toddler seemed to know nothing except grilling meat and fighting.

The other little toddler, except for not knowing how to grill meat, seemed to know everything.

“Then do you roughly know what these pictures record?” Zhu Laojiu asked curiously.

“I know.”

Chu Chen nodded and said, “That’s the Thirty-Six Stratagems drawn by Dad. It records three hundred and sixty kinds of strategies. He said that after learning them, we won’t be deceived by bad people. But Big Sister didn’t really learn them either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been tricked by that big bad guy to Cangzhou in the Nine Provinces Secret Realm.”

Three hundred and sixty kinds of strategies?

Xiao Ling’er and the others looked at each other speechlessly. They thought it was some ancient text with pictures recording divine abilities. Turns out it was just some strategies.

These two little toddlers’ father actually taught them strategies. It seems he really went to great lengths for their safety.

Everyone turned to look at Chu Xin, and they couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. No wonder this little toddler looked so smart, not like a three or four-year-old at all. Her intelligence was at least comparable to a teenager.

Studying three hundred and sixty kinds of strategies all the time, how could her intelligence not be high?

“I’ve got it!”

Just then, Chu Xin, who was engrossed in studying the strategies, suddenly shouted. She put away the Thirty-Six Stratagems, then stood up, put one hand on her hip, and waved the other hand in the air excitedly, saying in a childish voice, “Little Brother and I will pretend to be captured, and then let those two take us to Water Dragon Island. I have the Earth Dragon Crown on me, and then tell those people that Maternal Grandmother has the Fire Dragon Crown. As long as they lock us up, Maternal Grandmother will definitely come to save us.

You and Maternal Grandmother go to the other ambush points and show yourselves, let them know that the Fire Dragon Crown is indeed on Maternal Grandmother. This way, those people will definitely fall for it. Once Little Brother and I enter Water Dragon Island, as long as we find the right opportunity, we’ll make a move and snatch the Water Dragon Crown. You attack from the outside, distract them, and we can easily escape. This strategy is called… what’s it called again? Why did I forget?”

At this point, Chu Xin suddenly paused, her little brows furrowed. After a moment, she waved her little hand and said, “Forget it, who cares what it’s called. Anyway, that’s the plan. Do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Everyone nodded.

Wang Lanxi rubbed her forehead, looking a little helpless.

This was the strategy she had just thought of, but she didn’t say it out loud because she was worried about the safety of her two little grandsons.

She didn’t expect that Chu Xin, who was only three years old, could also come up with this strategy.

In fact, this strategy was not difficult to think of. It was just that Xiao Ling’er and the others’ attention had been attracted by Chu Xin’s 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》, and they didn’t think about the strategy. If they were to think about it themselves, it wouldn’t take them long to come up with it.

“Since you understand, let’s go.”

Chu Xin waved her little white hand, just like a great military advisor commanding thousands of troops, holding her head high and full of spirit.

“Okay!”

Xiao Ling’er and the others nodded.

Chu Xin turned to the two half-step Divine Disciples from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground and threatened them in a childishly fierce voice, “You have to cooperate, or I’ll spank your butts. Remember?”

“Remembered.”

◈◈◈

The two nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Chu Xin waved her little hand, letting the two half-step Divine Disciples from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground walk in front. She and Chu Chen walked between the two half-step Divine Disciples, looking like prisoners captured by them.

“Little Brother, your expression isn’t right.”

As Chu Xin walked, she turned to look at Chu Chen. Seeing his big eyes blinking and his face full of excitement, she quickly reminded him.

“Why isn’t it right?”

Chu Chen turned his head and asked with a puzzled look.

Chu Xin said earnestly, “Little Brother, we are prisoners now, do you understand? We’re about to have our treasures stolen, and we might even die soon. Why are you so happy?”

“Oh!”

Chu Chen nodded and asked, “Then what kind of expression should I have?”

“A bit more frustration, a bit more scared.”

Chu Xin thought for a while and explained.

“How do I look frustrated? How do I look scared?” Chu Chen blinked his big eyes and asked.

Chu Xin’s little brows furrowed. This was a bit difficult to explain. She thought for a long time before saying, “The feeling of not being able to find Mother is frustrating. The feeling you had when you were first chased by Dad to be spanked and cried loudly, that’s fear.”

“Oh, like this, that’s easy.”

Chu Chen suddenly understood. He pouted his little mouth, and his face looked like he was about to cry, with a tear even hanging from the corner of his eye.

This pitiful appearance made Xiao Ling’er and the others, who were watching the two little toddlers from behind, couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity.

Chu Chen maintained that sad and aggrieved expression, turned to look at Chu Xin, and asked, “Big Sister, is this okay?”

“Pout your mouth a little more.”

Chu Xin reached out her little white hand and adjusted the corners of Chu Chen’s mouth. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “Now it’s perfect. Keep it up.”

“Okay!”

Chu Chen nodded heavily.

Chu Xin rubbed her own face and soon showed the same expression as Chu Chen, with tears in the corners of her eyes as well.

The two half-step Divine Disciples from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of speechlessness in each other’s eyes.

If they hadn’t witnessed the entire process of the two brats’ expressions changing, they would have suspected that these two brats had been bullied by them.

But the truth was, they were the ones being bullied by these two brats.

Pfft!

Xiao Ling’er, who was behind them, couldn’t help but laugh. These two little toddlers were just too cute.

Jin Laosan and the others also had smiles on their faces. Those two little toddlers were really such drama queens. It would be a pity if they didn’t go into acting.

“Let’s go too.”

Wang Lanxi urged. She just wanted to complete the plan quickly and reunite with the two little toddlers.

“Okay!”

Everyone nodded and flew away.
