Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Chu Chen: I Have a Truth Talisman That Can Make People Tell the Truth

“This antidote pill…”

The White-haired Old Woman looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen in shock. She had no time to say anything and quickly circulated her cultivation technique, guiding the medicinal power of the antidote pill to flow through her entire body with her blood.

Wherever the medicinal power reached, the bone-deep snake venom seemed to meet its natural enemy and dissipated without a trace.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and said in surprise, “The snake venom in my body is actually cured.”

“That’s great.”

Long Yufei was overjoyed. She picked up Chu Xin and kissed her delicate little face, “Ai Chirou, you are really Auntie’s lucky star.”

Chu Xin wiped the saliva from her face and said with a look of disgust, “Auntie, don’t spit on my face.”

Chu Chen, who was standing nearby, also secretly rejoiced that Auntie didn’t spit on his face.

“Haha!”

Long Yufei and the others were all amused by the cute expressions of the two toddlers.

“Ai Chirou, did you refine this antidote pill?”

Seeing that her master had sat down again to regulate her breathing, Long Yufei was in a good mood. She held Chu Xin and asked curiously.

“No, my daddy refined it.”

Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes and said with a smile, “I have a lot more. If Auntie is poisoned in the future, I will help Auntie detoxify it too.”

Long Yufei was at a loss for words. She silently chanted “children’s words are innocent” twice, stroked Chu Xin’s little head, and said, “Thank you, Ai Chirou, for the antidote pill. You have helped me a lot.”

“You’re welcome, Auntie. Daddy said that saving a life is better than building a five-rank butcher.” Chu Xin waved her little white hand, acting as if it was nothing.

Five-rank butcher?

Long Yufei and the others were confused.

“Sister, it’s a seven-rank butcher.”

Chu Chen pulled Chu Xin’s ponytail and reminded her in a low voice.

“A seven-rank butcher?”

Chu Xin tilted her little head, looking puzzled.

“Definitely, a seven-rank is much more powerful than a five-rank.” Chu Chen said with certainty.

“You’re right, then let’s say it’s a seven-rank butcher.”

Chu Xin nodded in agreement.

Seven-rank butcher?

Is it a seven-story pagoda?

One of the female guards couldn’t help but laugh. These two siblings were really too cute.

At this moment, the White-haired Old Woman finished regulating her breathing and cupped her hands towards Chu Xin, saying, “Thank you, little friend, for the antidote pill. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to fulfill it.”

“Grandmother, you’re welcome. Daddy said that helping the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled is a virtue.” Chu Xin said innocently.

The corner of the old woman’s mouth twitched slightly. She didn’t expect that one day she, a dignified Martial Saint, would be classified as old, weak, sick, and disabled.

However, she didn’t argue with a three-year-old girl. Instead, she asked curiously, “This antidote pill can detoxify snake venom at the Martial Saint level. It must be a Saint-grade pill. Could it be that your daddy is a Pill Saint from the Pill Sect?”

Pill Saint?

Such a level of alchemist would be treated as a distinguished guest anywhere.

She didn’t expect that these two children’s father would have such a great background.

“No, my daddy has always lived in the village. Except for this time, he has never left the village.”

Chu Xin shook her head. She didn’t know that Chu Feng had traveled all over the Nine Provinces to refine their bodies. Besides, they were too young at that time and didn’t have many memories.

Not from the Pill Sect? Then he’s a rogue Pill Saint?

A rogue cultivator becoming a Pill Saint, this talent is a bit terrifying.

◈◈◈

The old woman took a deep look at the two siblings. Not only are these two children themselves monstrously talented, but they also have a father who is equally monstrously talented and a Pill Saint. They can only be befriended, not offended.

However, now was not the time to think about these things. She had more important things to do. She stood up and scanned the female guards, saying, “In order to avoid the Lánzhōu forces, we did not come through the teleportation formation. Instead, we relied on several Martial Emperor seniors to open a teleportation channel and send us to the border of Lánzhōu. This matter was supposed to be secret, and the Lánzhōu forces could not have known. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that there is a traitor among you.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the female guards changed drastically. They knelt on the floor of the flying boat and said urgently, “Pavilion Master, please investigate. We are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and have guarded the imperial family for generations. How could we betray them?”

Long Yufei’s face was gloomy. In fact, she had long had this suspicion but was unwilling to believe it.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion was specifically responsible for guarding the imperial family. If even the Heavenly Sword Pavilion had been infiltrated by forces with ulterior motives, then the empire would be in danger.

“I don’t want to believe it either, but for Long Yufei’s safety, there are some things I have to do.”

The old woman hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice, “I will perform a Soul Searching Technique on you. The traitor will be cut into pieces and their family will be exterminated. For those who are not traitors, your families will receive the full support of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the female guards changed dramatically.

Once the Soul Searching Technique was performed, they would all become idiots.

Even Long Yufei’s expression changed, and she said, “Master, how can we harm the loyal ones for the sake of one traitor?”

“Disciple, we don’t have time to slowly root out the traitor. If I’m not mistaken, she has already revealed our whereabouts. That old beast from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect may soon catch up. If it were just him, it wouldn’t be a problem. But if a few more Martial Venerables or Martial Emperors come, it will be difficult to escape.” The old woman sighed and said.

Long Yufei thought for a moment and said, “How about letting them pilot the flying boat while Master and I take another route?”

The old woman shook her head and said, “The method she used to transmit information is undetectable even to me. No one can guarantee that she hasn’t left some kind of mark on you.”

“This!”

Long Yufei was momentarily speechless.

“Auntie, is this Soul Searching Technique very powerful?” Chu Xin pulled Long Yufei’s sleeve and asked, tilting her little head curiously.

Long Yufei explained, “The Soul Searching Technique, as the name suggests, can search other people’s soul memories. But this technique has a flaw, that is, the person being searched will become an idiot.”

“What is an idiot?”

Chu Chen asked doubtfully.

“An idiot is someone who sleeps all the time and never wakes up,” Long Yufei explained.

“That’s too pitiful.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately showed expressions of sympathy, and their eyes looking at the old woman also carried a bit of fear.

If they were subjected to this Soul Searching Technique, they would never be able to eat grilled meat again. That’s too scary.

“For Long Yufei, we are willing to accept the Soul Searching Technique,” the female guards said one after another.

“Alright.”

The old woman sighed slightly. If she could, she wouldn’t want to use the Soul Searching Technique either.

“If only we had the Truth Talisman from the Talisman Sect, it could make them tell the truth themselves.” Long Yufei closed her eyes in distress and murmured. It was a pity that the Talisman Sect was not in Lánzhōu.

“Tell the truth?”

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up. He raised his chubby little hand and said, “I have a talisman that can make people tell the truth.”

“Ai Kaorou, you have a Truth Talisman?”

Long Yufei quickly asked when she heard this.

The old woman, who was about to perform the Soul Searching Technique, also stopped and turned to look at Chu Chen.

“Truth Talisman? I don’t know what a Truth Talisman is, but this talisman of mine can really make people tell the truth.”

As Chu Chen spoke, he took out a stack of talismans and said proudly, “This was specially refined by Daddy, afraid that someone might deceive us.”
