Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 78

Chapter 78: You Use Purifying Water to Wash the Grill?

Long Shaoyu stopped the young archer and said with a gentle smile, “Alright, no problem. When we reach Fire Xi Valley, we can kill other Fire Xi.”

Seeing this, the young archer could only glare fiercely at Chu Xin and sulk alone.

Chu Chen, while chewing on the grilled meat, tugged at Chu Xin’s clothes with his oily little hand and asked in a low voice, “Big Sister, Dad said there are many bad guys outside who kidnap children. Do you think they look like those child-kidnapping bad guys?”

Chu Xin’s big, round eyes darted around Long Shaoyu and his two companions. She responded in a low voice, “I don’t know what child-kidnapping bad guys look like either.”

“That’s true. We’ve never seen any.”

Chu Chen tilted his little head, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, “How about we use a Truth Talisman to ask them?”

“Good idea!”

Chu Xin’s eyes lit up. She cleared her throat in a imitating manner, and just as she was about to speak, the young archer angrily said, “Are you two little brats done yet? Our Young Master is… mmmph!”

Before he could finish, Long Shaoyu covered his mouth. Then, Long Shaoyu turned to Chu Xin and Chu Chen and said with a hurt expression, “I treat you like my little sister and brother, but you don’t trust me. It really hurts my feelings.”

Chu Chen blinked his big eyes, stared into Long Shaoyu’s eyes, and asked doubtfully, “You’re hurt? But I don’t see you crying.”

“Uh!”

Long Shaoyu’s expression stiffened, and he was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Oh my god, my temper! I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to shoot this damn brat.”

The young archer, who had just calmed down, exploded again, raising the large bow in his hand.

Long Shaoyu was the Young Master of Cangzhou, with a noble status. As his attendants, they were respected wherever they went. Now, being repeatedly challenged by two three-year-old brats was unbearable for him.

Attendants were children who accompanied Long Shaoyu in his studies and cultivation. They enjoyed resources second only to Long Shaoyu, but their lives were also tied to his.

If Long Shaoyu died, they would all die.

Long Shaoyu turned and glared at the young archer, saying coldly, “Quiet down.”

The young archer shrank back and shut up again, but his gaze towards Chu Xin and Chu Chen became increasingly unpleasant.

Long Shaoyu, taking advantage of the moment he turned to scold the young archer, squeezed his eyes a few times, forcing out two drops of tears. He turned back with a hurt expression and said, “Little Sister, I’m telling the truth. There are really many Fire Xi in Fire Xi Valley. I have no ill intentions towards you. I’m definitely not a child-kidnapping bad guy.”

Chu Xin stared at the two teardrops at the corners of his eyes, nodded her little head, and said, “We’ve already eaten grilled meat together. It wouldn’t be nice to use a Truth Talisman now.”

“Yes, yes!”

Long Shaoyu nodded repeatedly, relieved. A faint smile appeared on his face.

It wasn’t easy to encounter a lone Two-Headed Fire Xi, and he really didn’t want to give up just like that.

He thought it would be easy to fool two three-year-old brats, but he didn’t expect them to be so vigilant. Fortunately, he finally managed to convince them.

“Big Brother, then you should make a vow,” Chu Xin said with a giggle. “If you lie to us, you’ll be struck by lightning.”

Long Shaoyu’s smile froze. So much for playing the sympathy card.

“My temper!” The young archer flared up again.

Even the square-faced youth’s face showed anger.

Long Shaoyu took a deep breath, glared at the two, rubbed his face to relax his expression, and said with a smile, “Alright, no problem. I’ll make a vow.”

Then he pointed to the sky and swore, “I, Long Shaoyu, swear to the heavens that if I deceive Ai Chirou and Ai Kaorou, I will be struck by heavenly lightning, reduced to ashes, and my bones will be scattered.”

After making the vow, he looked down at Chu Xin and Chu Chen and asked, “Is that okay now?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Chu Xin nodded her little head. Her small hand, hidden behind her back, crushed a talisman, and an invisible energy entered Long Shaoyu’s body.

“Huh?”

Long Shaoyu frowned slightly, feeling something, but when he tried to sense it with his Qi, he found nothing unusual. He could only shake his head in confusion.

◈◈◈

Long Shaoyu’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he sensed something, but when he tried to sense it with his breath, there was nothing unusual. In the end, he could only shake his head in confusion.

An oath talisman?

Chu Chen saw Chu Xin’s small movements and secretly admired her in his heart: “Big Sister is still smarter. With the oath talisman, breaking the oath will really come true.”

“Little Brother, wash the grill and put it away.”

Chu Xin’s voice sounded again.

“Okay!”

Chu Chen nodded, took out a white jade bottle, and threw it into the air.

Forming a hand seal, the jade bottle turned upside down, pouring out a stream of pure liquid.

A rich fluctuation of spiritual energy rippled out, making Long Shaoyu and the other two feel as if their souls were being cleansed and their bodies were also being baptized.

“What is this water?”

Long Shaoyu’s face showed shock.

As the Young Master of Cangzhou, he had seen countless treasures, but he had never seen such magical water.

“This is water for washing dishes and the grill.”

Chu Chen said in a childish voice, then took out a brush from his Spatial Ring and began to clean the grill.

“You use this water to clean the grill?”

The corners of Long Shaoyu’s mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn’t know what kind of water this was, it was definitely an incredible treasure.

But this brat was actually using it to clean the grill. It was simply a waste of a treasure.

“Yeah, Dad said that this water can wash away all the filth in the world. Isn’t it just for washing dishes and the grill?” Chu Chen said without raising his head.

“Wash away all the filth in the world?”

Long Shaoyu muttered this sentence to himself. Suddenly, his body trembled, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. “Could it be the legendary Purifying Water?”

“Purifying Water?”

Chu Chen raised his head and glanced at him, then leaned his little head close to Chu Xin’s ear and whispered, “Big Sister, is it called Purifying Water?”

Chu Xin frowned her little brows, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, “Dad didn’t seem to say what it was called.”

“Who cares, I’ll just call it dishwashing water anyway.” Chu Chen shook his head and didn’t think about it anymore.

Chu Xin stared at Long Shaoyu’s horrified expression and pouted her little mouth, “Hmm. Dishwashing water still sounds more familiar. That Purifying Water sounds very tacky.”

Tacky?

Long Shaoyu’s lips moved, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

“Young Master, what is Purifying Water?”

The square-faced youth had never seen his Young Master lose his composure like this before, and he couldn’t help but ask curiously.

The young archer also looked up, his face full of curiosity.

Long Shaoyu took a deep breath and didn’t explain. He just took a deep look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, and transmitted his voice with his mind, “Purifying Water can wash away all the filth in the world. It is the bane of all evil. If there is enough Purifying Water, it can even make a cultivator’s body and soul become a body and soul without impurities. Not only will their cultivation speed be incredibly fast, but they will also not breed inner demons.”

“Holy crap!”

The square-faced youth and the young archer cursed in unison. They raised their heads to look at the small white jade bottle hanging upside down in the air, a trace of greed flashing in their eyes.
