Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Give Up When You Meet the Little Toddlers

After this round of competition, thirteen people remained, and they would compete for the top ten.

The top ten competition was not an elimination round, but a round-robin, where each person would have twelve matches, competing against all other contestants. A win earned one point, and the final ranking would be determined by the total points.

After the battle with the Sword Qi Divine Dragon, everyone realized that the little toddler girl’s strength was already comparable to an Initial Stage Martial Saint, so naturally, no one dared to fight her anymore.

After the top ten competition began, whenever they encountered Chu Xin, everyone conceded.

In this way, without participating in a single match, Chu Xin directly won all twelve matches and ranked first with a score of twelve points.

The remaining twelve people, after intense competition, finally determined the initial top ten after several days.

Of course, this was not the final list of the top ten.

Next, the challenge matches would take place.

According to the rules, as long as a contestant was in the top one hundred, they could challenge the top ten.

But to prevent people from deliberately going up, those who challenged on the stage needed to pay some pills, weapons, or cultivation techniques as collateral. If they won the challenge, they could take them back; if they lost, these would be the reward for the challenged.

Moreover, each person only had one chance to challenge.

In this way, those who knew their strength was insufficient would not randomly go up to challenge.

The top ten contestants sat on the stage, and except for Chu Xin, everyone else was very nervous.

After all, due to the appearance of the two little toddlers in this year’s Lánzhōu Grand Competition, many powerful prodigies failed to enter the top ten.

These prodigies would definitely come to challenge them.

Only Chu Xin was very calm, with one hand resting on the armrest of the chair, leaning back, and holding a baby bottle in the other hand, leisurely drinking her ice-chilled beast milk.

“Challenge matches, begin.”

After the female guard announced, Chu Chen couldn’t wait to jump onto the stage.

Seeing this little toddler, everyone’s hearts tightened.

Especially the young prodigy ranked second, his face turned pale, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

There was no need to think; this little toddler would definitely challenge him, the second-ranked.

He hadn’t thought of this at the time. If he had known earlier, he would have conceded one or two more matches and ranked a few places lower.

While drinking his ice-chilled beast milk, Chu Chen looked at the nine people on the stage besides his sister. Finally, his gaze fell on the second-ranked youth. He pointed at him with his chubby little finger and said, “Big Brother, I want to challenge you.”

His childish voice sounded harmless, but the youth’s face was full of bitterness.

“These are the collateral.”

Chu Chen’s voice sounded again, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of talismans appeared.

A strong desire flashed in the youth’s eyes, but he quickly shook his head with a bitter smile and stood up, “I concede.”

Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, blinked his big eyes, and asked, “Don’t you want to fight a bit?”

“No.”

The youth shook his head.

Although he was also a Martial Venerable, he was still much weaker than Fu Yunxiao of the Demon Saber Sect.

This little toddler could easily defeat Fu Yunxiao, so he could naturally defeat him even more easily. Knowing he would lose, why bother embarrassing himself?

“How about I use one hand? Think about it again?”

Chu Chen stretched out a chubby little hand and waved it, asking while drinking his beast milk.

Just one hand?

The youth’s mouth twitched slightly and forced a smile, “No need, I concede.”

It wasn’t an ordinary fight. At this level, what was the difference between one hand and two hands?

“Alright then.”

Chu Chen shook his head and sighed, acting like a little adult.

“The first challenge match, Ai Kaorou wins.”

The female guard smiled and announced the result.

The youth got off the stage with a bitter smile, thinking about challenging a weaker opponent later to return to the top ten.

Chu Chen drank his beast milk, sat down on the chair, turned to Chu Xin, and said with a smile, “Sister, I’m back.”

Chu Xin leaned back in her chair, her big round eyes staring at the sky in a daze.

“Sister, I’m back.”

◈◈◈

Seeing that his sister didn’t respond, Chu Chen raised his voice and shouted again.

“I heard you, I heard you.”

Chu Xin tilted her head to look at him, rolled her eyes, and then turned back to stare at the sky in a daze.

Chu Chen was a little puzzled. He looked up at the sky, but there was nothing but white clouds. He couldn’t help but lean forward on the chair, and asked doubtfully, “Sister, what are you looking at?”

“Looking at dragons.”

Chu Xin murmured.

“Dragons?”

Chu Chen looked up again, but there were none.

At this time, Chu Xin turned to Chu Chen and asked, “Little Brother, do you think dragon meat is delicious?”

“I haven’t tried it. They look so pretty, they should be delicious.”

Chu Chen recalled the Sword Qi Divine Dragon they had fought the other day and said with a smile, “That divine dragon’s body is similar to that green snake. It should taste similar when grilled. But it has four dragon claws, and the dragon head is different from the snake head. We need to study how to grill the dragon claws and head.”

“I really want to eat dragon meat. I wonder what it tastes like. I wonder if there are any dragons in the secret realm.”

Ever since she saw the Sword Qi Divine Dragon in the simulation space, she had been craving dragon meat.

“Secret realm?”

Chu Chen was stunned.

Chu Xin continued, “Little Brother, you said we should bring some gifts for Mother when we go see her. If we can grill some dragon meat for her, she will definitely be very happy.”

“That’s right,”

Chu Chen nodded his little head repeatedly and said excitedly, “Then let’s go to the secret realm to grill dragon meat and bring it to Mother.”

“But what if there are no dragons in the secret realm?”

Chu Xin frowned, looking a little troubled.

“This…”

Chu Chen was also stumped. After a while, he said, “How about we ask Auntie Long later where we can find dragons?”

“Okay!”

Chu Xin nodded.

While the siblings were discussing eating dragon meat, the challenge matches had all ended.

The top prodigies of the three great powers all entered the top ten. Qin Tian of the Hegemon Sword Sect, Fu Yunxiao of the Demon Saber Sect, and Hei Hu of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, ranked third to fifth respectively.

Hei Hu had obtained another Peak Martial Venerable Dark Devil Tiger during this period. Because he only had one, his strength was slightly weaker than Qin Tian and Fu Yunxiao.

The unlucky guy who was challenged by Chu Chen also had another challenge match and won, returning to sixth place.

Long Yufei landed on the stage and said, “This year’s Lánzhōu Grand Competition has successfully concluded. Congratulations on entering the top ten of Lánzhōu.”

After saying that, she waved her hand, and ten ancient scrolls appeared in front of the ten people.

“These are your secret realm maps. The higher the ranking, the more complete the map. But even for the first place, the map only shows a part of the secret realm. Only when the maps of the top prodigies of the Nine Provinces are combined can you obtain the complete secret realm map.”

Long Yufei’s expression became serious, and her tone became solemn, “Therefore, after entering the secret realm, you will face a real bloodbath. You must always be vigilant. If you are killed in the secret realm, you will really die. There will be no chance of resurrection like in the simulation space. Do you remember?”

“We remember.”

The top ten on the stage and the top one hundred below all shouted loudly.

“Rest for two days. Two days later, the gate to the secret realm will open, and you will be teleported into the secret realm.”

After Long Yufei finished speaking, she turned and left.

“Auntie Long, are there any dragons in the secret realm?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen quickly followed, their childish voices echoing across the stage.

Dragons?

Everyone was speechless. Were these two little toddlers still obsessed with eating dragon meat?
