Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Are You Trying to Steal Our Dishwater?

Chu Xin noticed the change in the gazes of the Square-Faced Youth and the Young Archer, her small body levitating, shielding the jade bottle. She questioned them in a childish voice, “Are you trying to steal our dishwater?”

Hearing this, Chu Chen, who was busy cleaning the grill, also chimed in fiercely, “If you dare to steal our dishwater, I’ll spank your butts until they blossom.”

Dishwater?

Long Shaoyu and his two companions felt their eyelids twitch and the corners of their mouths contort.

A peerless treasure that could transform cultivators to have a Flawless Body and a Flawless Soul had been reduced to mere dishwater in the hands of these two brats.

Heavens, please strike these two wasteful brats with lightning.

The three screamed internally.

No, they couldn’t watch anymore. Their hearts couldn’t take it.

Long Shaoyu and his two companions turned away, taking deep breaths to regulate their emotions.

“Big Sister, are they what Dad called country bumpkins? They even want to steal our dishwater,”

Chu Chen continued to clean the grill, asking with a puzzled expression.

Country bumpkins?

You’re the country bumpkin.

Your whole family are country bumpkins.

That’s Purifying Water, Purifying Water!

The three cursed in their hearts.

Huff!

Don’t get angry!

Calm down!

The three raised their hands, pressing down from their heads to their chests, as if trying to suppress the raging fire about to erupt from the top of their heads.

“Probably. Little Brother, hurry up and wash. After you’re done, put the dishwater away. If it gets stolen, we won’t have any water to wash the grill in the future,”

Chu Xin said, somewhat uncertainly.

She had never seen country bumpkins before, but they probably looked something like this.

Hearing this, Chu Chen cast a wary glance at Long Shaoyu and his companions, his movements quickening. He muttered under his breath, “I’ll have to wash the dishes and grill secretly in the future, so no one sees. If it gets stolen, there will be no water to wash the dishes and grill. Dad said that if the grill and used dishes aren’t washed, they’ll grow bacteria, which will make us sick. Dad also said that other water can’t wash them clean, only this dishwater can wash away the bacteria.”

“Uh-huh! Little Brother, hurry up and wash. I’ll keep watch for you,”

Chu Xin nodded repeatedly, her large, round eyes under the phoenix mask fixed on Long Shaoyu and his companions.

“Young Master, I can’t take it anymore. Should we just snatch it?”

the Young Archer transmitted his voice.

“Young Master, let’s do it. That’s a peerless treasure,”

the Square-Faced Youth also transmitted, his voice filled with greed.

Long Shaoyu took a deep breath, shook his head, and transmitted, “Don’t be hasty. These two brats are too strange. Don’t act rashly. Besides, the Purifying Water is just our guess. Their, ahem, dishwater might not be Purifying Water. We should first obtain the Two-Headed Fire Xi’s crystal core and go to the Fire Xi Valley to pick the Fire Xi Grass.”

“Yes, Young Master,”

the Young Archer and the Square-Faced Youth both nodded.

“Big Sister, do you think they’re still thinking about stealing our dishwater?”

After finishing cleaning the grill and putting away the “dishwater,” Chu Chen looked at the three with their backs turned, still a little worried. He whispered, “Big Sister, should we just leave? They even want to steal dishwater. They’re too bad.”

Chu Xin shook her head and whispered, “Don’t be afraid, Little Brother. If they dare to steal our dishwater, I’ll spank their butts until they blossom. We still need to follow them to find that Fire Xi King to eat.”

“We have a map. We can find it ourselves,” Chu Chen said.

“Can you read a map?”

Chu Xin glanced at Chu Chen, her eyes full of disdain.

“Okay,”

Chu Chen nodded obediently.

Neither he nor his sister could read a map.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been wandering around aimlessly for two days without even having a single meal of grilled meat.

“Big Brother, let’s go,”

Chu Xin held the half-eaten roasted pig’s head in one hand and the Two-Headed Fire Xi’s hind leg in the other, speaking in a childish voice.

“Okay!”

◈◈◈

Long Shaoyu turned his head to look at the spot where the jade bottle had been hanging, then soared into the sky.

The Square-Faced Youth and the Young Archer also followed suit.

“Little Brother, keep up!”

Chu Xin took a bite of the roasted pig’s head, holding the Two-Headed Fire Xi’s hind leg, and followed.

“Wait for me,”

Chu Chen also took to the sky and quickly followed.

Naturally, they could fly faster using the Heaven Slaying Sword and the Heaven Breaking Saber, but their father had told them not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, they only used the Heaven Slaying Sword and the Heaven Breaking Saber to fly when no one was around.

Under the guidance of Long Shaoyu and his companions, the group flew for an hour and landed on a large mountain.

“Below is the Fire Xi Valley. See those Fire Xi?”

Long Shaoyu pointed to a valley below, smiling.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen lay on the edge of the mountain and looked down, indeed seeing a huge valley.

The valley was a fiery red, with bubbling lava lakes. A group of large pigs were either lying leisurely on the ground, sleeping, or bathing in the lava lakes.

Most of the pigs were smaller than the one Chu Xin was holding, but some were even larger.

“Big Brother didn’t lie to us. There are so many big pigs. How long will it take to eat them all?”

Chu Xin was excited, drool unconsciously dripping from her mouth.

“So many big pigs. How long will it take to grill them all?”

Chu Chen’s eyes were also shining, his chubby little hands itching to get to work.

Long Shaoyu and his companions exchanged glances, speechless.

In the eyes of foodies, is there only food?

When these two brats first saw them, were they also thinking about food?

“Big Brother, let’s go down. I can’t wait any longer,”

Chu Xin wiped the drool from her mouth, urging impatiently.

“Wait a minute,”

Long Shaoyu quickly stopped her. “There are hundreds of Two-Headed Fire Xi in this valley. The strongest, the Fire Xi King, has reached the peak of the sixth rank. There are also more than a dozen sixth-rank Fire Xi. Moreover, the fire element energy in this valley is very strong, making them even stronger. That peak sixth-rank Fire Xi King can unleash power comparable to an initial-stage seventh-rank demon beast. It’s not easy to deal with.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll smash it with one punch,”

Chu Chen waved his chubby little fist.

“No!”

Chu Xin quickly said, “Little Brother, we can’t kill the Fire Xi King. We have to tie it up and take it with us so we can eat roasted pig’s head every day.”

“Oh, right. I almost forgot,”

Chu Chen realized, nodding repeatedly.

Long Shaoyu was speechless. He really couldn’t communicate with these two foodies. Every conversation ended up about food. He rolled his eyes and said, “The Fire Xi King is powerful, and there are many Fire Xi. If we alert the other Fire Xi, it will take some time to kill them all. If the Fire Xi King takes the opportunity to escape, where will we find it? I have a way to approach the Fire Xi King without alerting the others.”

“What way?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen asked quickly.

Long Shaoyu looked at the Two-Headed Fire Xi held by Chu Xin and smiled, “We have to kill it first.”

“Here you go,”

Chu Xin handed over the Two-Headed Fire Xi without any hesitation.

With so many big pigs in the valley, she naturally wouldn’t cling to this one.

Long Shaoyu raised his hand and swiftly decapitated the Two-Headed Fire Xi. To his surprise, he saw a hint of relief in the four pig eyes of the Two-Headed Fire Xi.
