Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 73

Chapter 73: A’Rou? I Am Her Sister, A’Fei

Long Yufei withdrew the formation stones and the Provincial Governor’s Seal from afar and said indifferently, “This matter ends here. I hope you will all assist me in developing Lánzhōu in the future.”

“Yes, Provincial Governor.”

Everyone responded respectfully.

“Let’s go. It’s time to open the Secret Realm Gate and send them into the Secret Realm.”

Long Yufei held the hands of the two siblings, one in each hand, and turned to leave.

The elders also followed, now not daring to harbor any dissent.

Long Yufei and the three elders stood at the four cardinal points, summoning the Provincial Governor’s Seal, which hovered above them. Their hands formed seals, and they chanted incantations.

After finishing the incantation, Long Yufei pointed at the Provincial Governor’s Seal from afar, and a vast amount of energy surged into it. She shouted, “Nine Provinces Secret Realm, open!”

As her voice fell, the power of fortune within the Provincial Governor’s Seal vibrated, and a beam of light shot down, disappearing into the ground.

Buzz!

Lines of the power of fortune crisscrossed, instantly illuminating a mysterious formation on the ground.

The power of the formation surged, condensing into a Secret Realm Gate that was ten zhang high and three zhang wide.

Long Yufei turned to look at the one hundred prodigies and said in a clear voice, “The Secret Realm Gate is open. There are opportunities in the Secret Realm, but there are also dangers. Entering the Secret Realm, life and death are uncertain. I hope you will all work together in the Secret Realm and all return alive.”

“Yes!”

The prodigies responded in unison.

“Go.”

Long Yufei said indifferently.

The prodigies cheered and used various techniques to fly through the air and enter the Secret Realm Gate.

In an instant, only Chu Xin and Chu Chen were left.

They stood at the entrance of the Secret Realm Gate, waving their little hands at Long Yufei.

“Auntie Long, we’re leaving.”

“Auntie Long, when we rescue Mother, we’ll bring her back to see you.”

The two little ones were reluctant to part. Although they hadn’t spent much time with Long Yufei, they had already grown attached to this beautiful auntie and felt a deep affection for her.

From Long Yufei, they felt a maternal love they had never felt before.

If their father hadn’t said that their mother was imprisoned in the Imperial Capital, they would have definitely taken Long Yufei as their mother.

“Alright, be careful in the Secret Realm.”

Long Yufei stroked the two little ones’ heads, also feeling a pang of reluctance in her heart.

Every time she saw these two little toddlers, she felt a strange fondness for them. Now that they were parting, she didn’t know when they would meet again.

“Yes, yes! We know.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen waved their hands and turned to enter the Secret Realm Gate.

The Secret Realm Gate slowly closed behind them.

The old woman beside her saw Long Yufei staring blankly at the closed Secret Realm Gate and smiled, “If the Provincial Governor is reluctant to part with them, you can return to the Middle Province to visit them after they leave the Secret Realm.”

Long Yufei shook her head and sighed, “As the Provincial Governor of Lánzhōu, how can I leave without permission?”

The old woman thought for a moment and said, “Then the Provincial Governor can find a good husband soon and have two children of your own.”

Long Yufei’s face flushed slightly, and she stamped her foot, saying, “Master, what are you talking about? I don’t want to get married, lest I end up like my sister, unable to acknowledge my own husband and children.”

Speaking of this, she sighed again.

The old woman also fell silent.

Now that the Imperial Family was in turmoil, it was indeed not the best time to get married and have children.

“Now that our purpose in coming to Lánzhōu has been accomplished, and Lánzhōu will not have any major disturbances for the time being, it is time to complete my sister’s task.”

After thinking for a moment, Long Yufei turned to the old woman and said, “Master, I’ll leave the follow-up matters of Lánzhōu to you. I have something to do and need to go out for a while.”

“Alright!”

The old woman nodded.

She was not worried about Long Yufei’s safety. With the Lánzhōu Seal in hand, no one below the Martial Emperor realm could harm her in Lánzhōu.

Long Yufei glanced at the elders of the three major powers, then withdrew the Provincial Governor’s Seal, summoned a flying boat, and leaped onto it.

◈◈◈

After thinking for a moment, she took out a veil to cover her face before piloting the flying boat and soaring into the sky.

The matter of her sister having children was of great importance and could not be known to anyone, not even her master.

She knew very well that once this news leaked out, not only would her sister’s husband and children be in danger, but her sister would also be doomed.

“Dàshí Village, it should be here.”

Two days later, Long Yufei’s flying boat appeared above a village.

She only knew that Dàshí Village was in the northern frontier of Lánzhōu, but the northern frontier was not small, and finding a small village was not easy.

Fortunately, after making inquiries along the way, she finally found it.

“Strange, I clearly saw people talking in the village, why can’t I hear any sound?”

Long Yufei looked at the village below and the villagers interacting with each other, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

With her Martial Ancestor strength, let alone a few hundred meters, she should be able to hear sounds from several thousand meters away.

“Never mind, I’ll go down and take a look.”

Long Yufei put away the flying boat and descended through the air.

Boom!

But just as she approached within tens of meters of the village, a transparent barrier suddenly lit up. Caught off guard, Long Yufei couldn’t stop in time and crashed into it. She was bounced back several hundred meters before regaining her balance.

Pfft!

Her blood churned, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“There’s a protective formation?”

Long Yufei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a look of shock on her delicate face.

“Moreover, this formation is too strong.”

It was already outrageous for a small village to have a protective formation. What was even more outrageous was that, after the contact just now, she found that the protective formation of Dàshí Village seemed to be even more terrifying than the protective formation of the Lánzhōu Provincial Governor’s Mansion.

Long Yufei descended again, landing tens of meters away, not daring to rush in.

At this time, the villagers who had heard the commotion, led by the village chief, were already waiting in formation at the village entrance.

They held either knives or swords, clearly all cultivators.

“This Dàshí Village is a bit outrageous.”

Long Yufei muttered to herself.

“Who dares to trespass into Dàshí Village?”

A middle-aged man walked out of the formation barrier and shouted loudly.

Long Yufei smiled, “Hello, is Chu Feng here?”

“Looking for Chu Feng?”

“This girl is so beautiful, could she be Chu Feng’s missing wife?”

“It’s possible.”

Although the sound inside the formation could not be transmitted out, the sound outside the formation could be heard inside the village.

Hearing Long Yufei’s words, the villagers immediately started discussing among themselves.

The white-haired old village chief slowly walked out of the formation, looked at Long Yufei, and asked cautiously, “Who are you? What do you want with Chu Feng?”

To lower the villagers’ guard, Long Yufei removed the veil from her face and smiled, “I am his friend. I was passing by and came to see him.”

“You, you are…”

Seeing Long Yufei’s face, the old village chief’s body trembled. He couldn’t help but take two steps forward, looked closer, and then said in a trembling voice, “You are, A’Rou?”

“A’Rou?”

Long Yufei was taken aback, but she quickly understood that this should be her sister’s alias here. She smiled and shook her head, saying, “I am her sister, A’Fei.”
