Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Is This the Sibling Showdown?

“Wait, I need to warm up.”

Chu Chen suddenly called for a halt, clenched his fists, swung his arms, and then performed a set of punches on the stage that no one had ever seen before, before saying, “Okay, let’s go.”

The siblings stood facing each other again, staring into each other’s eyes, neither making a move for a long time.

They seemed to be guessing each other’s thoughts, guessing what the other would play.

Seeing the “tense” siblings, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Rock, paper, scissors, it’s purely luck, what’s the point of warming up?

The thoughts of these little toddlers are really impossible to guess.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

This time, the siblings spoke very slowly, their eyes fixed on each other, and the air seemed to be filled with tension.

This made the onlookers, who were originally just watching the show, unconsciously hold their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Whoosh!

The siblings both threw out their little hands, freezing them in the air.

Sister played paper, brother played rock.

“Yay!”

Chu Xin cheered and said proudly, “Little Brother, I won.”

Chu Chen, on the other hand, drooped his little head and said with a bitter face, “I lost.”

Then he turned around and walked off the stage with his short legs, shaking his head and sighing as he walked, “Why did I play rock? I should have played scissors.”

“Damn, watching this actually made me nervous.”

After the sibling showdown was completely over, everyone let out a long sigh, their faces full of laughter and tears.

They hadn’t been nervous watching those contestants fight in the simulation space, but they got nervous watching the siblings play rock, paper, scissors. It was ridiculous.

“Auntie, I won.”

Chu Xin turned to look at the dumbfounded female guard and reminded her in a childish voice.

“Ah? Oh, right, you won.”

The female guard came back to her senses and announced the result of the match.

“I protest!”

Just then, a voice rang out.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that in the judges’ area, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Elder Bao stood up with a gloomy face.

“What are you protesting?” Miss Long Yufei asked calmly.

Elder Bao said loudly, “This is the Lánzhōu Grand Competition, not child’s play. Their childish way of competing is an insult to the other contestants. I don’t accept the result of this match. These siblings must have a real fight. Otherwise, they should both be banned from the competition to prevent them from making a mess of the Lánzhōu Grand Competition.”

“Yes, they must have a real fight,” the judge from the Hegemon Sword Sect also nodded.

“Fight, fight!”

The contestants in the preparation area also echoed.

The way the siblings decided the winner made them feel that their desperate struggle to advance was foolish, and they felt insulted.

It was like a treasure they loved and worked hard to obtain was being ridiculed as worthless junk in public.

Chu Chen glanced at Elder Bao, ignored him, sat in his seat, and still regretted playing rock.

Chu Xin tilted her little head and asked doubtfully, “It didn’t say we couldn’t use rock, paper, scissors to decide the winner, did it? They can play rock, paper, scissors with others too. It’s a quick way to decide the winner, and it’s not tiring.”

“They are not three-year-old kids. How could they use such a childish method to decide their own fate?”

Elder Bao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, “You are insulting the contestants and also insulting the Lánzhōu Grand Competition.”

◈◈◈

Long Yufei said calmly, “The rules indeed do not stipulate that this method cannot be used to determine the victor, Elder Bao, you must not continue to make trouble unreasonably.”

Elder Bao snorted coldly, his gaze inadvertently glancing at a certain corner of the spectator area, and then he sat down silently.

Although Elder Bao’s gaze was subtle, it was still noticed by Long Yufei, who had been paying attention to him.

She followed Elder Bao’s gaze and scanned the spectator area, but she didn’t find anything unusual.

She even secretly activated the Provincial Governor’s Seal and used Lánzhōu’s power of fortune to check, but still found nothing amiss.

Am I overthinking it?

Did Elder Bao really just think that this way of deciding the winner was too childish?

But as a judge, how could he not know that the rules of the competition never stipulated how the winner should be determined?

Although using rock, paper, scissors is indeed a bit too casual, it shouldn’t be enough for a judge to protest.

What exactly are these guys planning?

Long Yufei’s brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her heart.

At the same time, Chu Xin had already returned to her seat, leaning back in her chair and leisurely drinking her beast milk.

Chu Chen leaned his little head over and asked in a low voice, “Sister, did you sense that guy’s aura over there?”

“Which guy?”

Chu Xin followed the direction of Chu Chen’s chubby little hand and looked at the spectator area. But after looking for a while, she didn’t find anything unusual, so she asked doubtfully.

“The guy from last time when that Provincial Governor invited Auntie Long to eat poison, the one we couldn’t see through,” Chu Chen said in a low voice.

“Invited Auntie Long to eat poison?”

Chu Xin took a sip of beast milk and suddenly realized, “You mean that annoying guy? I didn’t sense his annoying aura.”

Chu Chen shook his head and muttered, “Then maybe I sensed it wrong.”

Just now, when Elder Bao protested and argued with Auntie Long and the others, he sensed a familiar aura flash by in the spectator area.

But at that time, Chu Xin’s attention was on Elder Bao, so she didn’t notice.

“Who cares? If he dares to provoke me, I’ll spank his butt until it blossoms.”

Chu Xin waved her little fist while drinking her beast milk.

Chu Chen glanced at her and reminded her, “Sister, Daddy said that girls should be gentle. Can you stop saying ‘spank someone’s butt until it blossoms’? It’s not gentle at all.”

Chu Xin glared at him with her big eyes, imitating Daddy’s tone and expression when he used to scold her, and threatened in a childishly fierce voice, “Little brat, your wings have hardened? You dare to lecture your older sister? Is your butt itching?”

Chu Chen shrank his neck, subconsciously covered his little butt, and muttered in a low voice, “I’m just reminding you. If you don’t want to listen, then forget it. Why are you yelling at me? Humph, I curse you to never get married.”

“What did you say? Louder, I didn’t hear you.”

Chu Xin reached out and grabbed Chu Chen’s little ear, asking fiercely.

“Ah, I said my sister will definitely become the most beautiful woman in the Nine Provinces. Ah, it hurts, it hurts.”

Chu Chen grabbed Chu Xin’s hand and quickly begged for mercy.

While the siblings were playing around, the last two matches of the second round also quickly ended.

They all went all out, striving for the top ten and obtaining the secret realm map. No one would be like the Chu Xin and Chu Chen siblings, using such an outrageous method to decide the winner.

But even so, it was difficult for everyone to fully concentrate on the battles in the simulation space. From time to time, they would turn their heads to look at the two little toddlers.

Who wouldn’t like such cute, adorable, and powerful little toddlers?
