Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 6

Chapter 6: That Terrifying Sword Intent Was Released by This Little Girl?

“I haven’t eaten this well in a long time.”

Having eaten their fill, Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the two siblings, lay on the ground, rubbing their flat little bellies, with expressions of utter satisfaction.

“It’s so nice outside. We get to eat so many demon beasts as soon as we come out. Dad was always so stingy, only bringing back one demon beast each time.”

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his little tongue still licking his greasy lips, with a look of someone who wanted more.

“They’re so cute, I really want to hug them.”

Looking at Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s little arms and legs, a female guard felt her heart melting.

Long Yufei looked at the two siblings and asked, “Where are you two going?”

“Oh dear, we almost forgot about our important task.”

Hearing this, the two siblings remembered their mission and quickly sat up.

“Auntie, is this the south?” Chu Chen tilted his head and asked.

“South?” Long Yufei was also a little confused. When talking about directions, shouldn’t there be a reference point?

Chu Xin’s delicate little face was also full of confusion: “Village Chief Grandpa said that the Imperial Capital is south of the village, but we don’t know where south is. We flew and flew and ended up here.”

“You’re going to the Imperial Capital? What for?”

Long Yufei was surprised.

“We’re going to save our mother.”

Chu Chen nodded vigorously, the flesh on his little face jiggling, his tone and eyes incredibly serious.

“Save your mother? Your mother is in the Imperial Capital?”

Long Yufei’s eyes looked a little strange. She had an inexplicable feeling, as if she had forgotten something important.

“Dad said that Mother is imprisoned in the Imperial Capital. We want to be like Yang Jian saving his mother, and Chen Xiang saving his mother, and go to the Imperial Capital to save her.”

Chu Xin waved her little fists, speaking with determination.

Seeing the siblings’ serious expressions, everyone was charmed by their cuteness.

A female guard asked with a smile, “So how do you plan to save her?”

“By splitting open the Imperial Capital.”

Chu Chen held his chubby little hand up like a saber, chopping left and right, his expression very serious. But this set of actions was extremely cute, making Long Yufei and the others burst into laughter.

Split open the Imperial Capital? Even a Martial Emperor doesn’t have that ability.

“Don’t laugh, we’re very serious.”

Chu Xin put her hands on her hips, looking angry.

“Yes!”

Chu Chen nodded heavily, the two buns on his head and the flesh on his face jiggling along.

For them, saving their mother was a very sacred matter. How could anyone laugh at it?

“Alright, alright, we won’t laugh.”

Long Yufei composed herself and said, “This is the northern border of Lánzhōu. I don’t know where you came from. The Imperial Capital is located in the Middle Province. To go from Lánzhōu to the Middle Province, you have to cross several provinces, and between the provinces are provincial seas. The provincial seas are vast, and those unfamiliar with them can easily get lost. Even if you don’t get lost, it would take at least ten years for cultivators below the Martial Saint realm to fly to the Imperial Capital.”

“How long is ten years?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen asked curiously. They had no concept of time.

“This…”

Long Yufei was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to explain. After thinking for a while, she said, “It’s about enough time for you to eat hundreds of thousands of roasted Azure Wolves like today’s.”

“Huh?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately drooped their heads, feeling dejected.

Although they didn’t know how much hundreds of thousands was, it sounded like a lot.

If it took that long to eat that much roasted meat to reach the Imperial Capital, how long would that be?

“However, if you have special flying treasures, the speed would be much faster. Also, there are teleportation formations between provinces. Using teleportation formations would be even faster,” Long Yufei added.

“Great, where is the teleportation formation?”

The siblings, upon hearing this, became excited again and eagerly asked.

“Teleportation formations are generally located in provincial cities. It’s still a bit far from here to the provincial city. When my master arrives, she’ll take you along,” Long Yufei said with a smile.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to these two children. Moreover, the two children had saved them, so it was only right to help them.

“By the way, what’s your mother’s name?” Long Yufei asked.

◈◈◈

“Big Sister, what’s our mother’s name?”

Chu Chen turned to ask Chu Xin.

Chu Xin furrowed her little brows, distressed, “How would I know? Dad never told us. And when we ask Village Chief Grandpa, he won’t tell us either, always saying we’re not grown up yet.”

They don’t even know their mother’s name?

The women were stunned.

Long Yufei asked again, “Then what does your mother look like? I have some connections in the Imperial Capital. Maybe I can help you find her.”

“Big Sister, what does Mother look like?”

Chu Chen turned to look at his sister again.

Chu Xin scratched her head, even more distressed, “I don’t know. I’ve never seen Mother.”

So these two children have been without a mother since they were little. Poor things.

Long Yufei and the others looked at the distressed siblings and felt a pang of pity.

Long Yufei stroked Chu Chen and Chu Xin’s little heads and said softly, “Then come with me to the Lánzhōu Provincial Governor’s Mansion first. But someone doesn’t want me to reach the provincial capital, so the journey might be dangerous.”

“It’s okay, we’ll help Auntie beat up the bad guys.”

Chu Xin waved her little white fists.

“That’s right, we’re very powerful.”

Chu Chen also waved his chubby little hands in agreement.

For some reason, they felt a sense of closeness from this beautiful auntie, and sometimes they even wanted to call her mother.

But they knew that this beautiful auntie was not their mother, because their mother was still imprisoned in the Imperial Capital, waiting for them to rescue her.

Moments later, a figure descended from the sky, moving extremely fast.

“Big Sister, someone’s coming.”

Chu Chen’s expression changed, and he assumed a fighting stance.

“Stronger than the Azure Wolf.”

The divine marks in Chu Xin’s body also flickered slightly, and a sharp sword intent soared into the sky.

Long Yufei and the others looked at the two in shock. These two little ones were actually hiding their strength earlier?

Especially this little girl, the sword intent emanating from her made them feel fear.

“Don’t worry, it’s my master.”

Seeing that the sword intent emanating from Chu Xin was getting stronger, Long Yufei quickly spoke.

“Oh, it’s Auntie’s master!”

Chu Xin relaxed, and the sword intent on her body dissipated. Then, seeing that Chu Chen was still in a fighting stance, she lightly tapped Chu Chen’s little head and said like a little adult, “Didn’t you hear what Auntie said? That’s Auntie’s master, a good person.”

“Oh!”

Chu Chen rubbed his little head and grinned, his cute appearance making the women’s eyes sparkle.

Moments later, a white-haired old woman landed in front of the women.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master.” The female guards stepped forward to greet her.

“Master!” Long Yufei also stepped forward and bowed gracefully.

The old woman, however, ignored the women. Instead, she looked around and said in a deep voice, “Which expert is here? Since you’ve arrived, please show yourself.”

The fleeting sword intent from earlier was definitely not something an ordinary cultivator possessed. Judging from the sword intent alone, it was even stronger than hers.

Her expression was extremely serious, and the long sword in her hand was already trembling slightly, ready to attack at any moment.

“Grandmother, Big Sister isn’t tall. She’s right here.” Chu Chen raised Chu Xin’s hand and said innocently.

“Stupid Little Brother, how am I not tall? I’m taller than you.” Chu Xin was displeased. She tried her best to stand up straight and compared her height with Chu Chen’s. In her opinion, an older sister should be taller than her younger brother. If she was shorter than her younger brother, wouldn’t that make her the younger sister?

Therefore, she had always been very concerned about the issue of height.

“Master.”

Long Yufei also pulled at the white-haired old woman’s sleeve and pointed at Chu Xin, “That sword intent from earlier was released by her.”

“……”

The white-haired old woman looked at the little girl who was arguing about height and was instantly dumbfounded.
