Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 93

Chapter 93: The Brats Dig for Treasure, Targeting the Foundation of the Protective Formation Again

“Big Sister, there’s no treasure here either.”

After breaking the restrictions on more than a dozen rooms in a row and finding nothing, Chu Chen suddenly became listless.

“A bunch of big liars.”

Chu Xin also pouted, cursing all those prodigies.

The miniature version of the Two-Headed Little Pig, on the other hand, rolled over in Chu Chen’s arms and comfortably narrowed its four pig eyes.

From being ridden to being held, the change was simply too wonderful.

Chu Chen rubbed the Two-Headed Little Pig’s head with his chubby little hand. Beneath the dragon mask, his big, round eyes darted around. He leaned his little head close to Chu Xin and whispered, “Big Sister, do you think this Divine Sword Pavilion’s protective formation is made of ancient treasures?”

Chu Xin’s eyes immediately lit up. “How could I not have thought of that? Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go dig for treasure.”

“Okay!”

Chu Chen also nodded repeatedly. He put down the miniature Two-Headed Little Pig in his arms and waved his chubby little fist, threatening, “Little Pig, follow us. Don’t run, or I’ll spank your butt until it blossoms.”

Oink!

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig nodded its two little pig heads.

Chu Chen was still a little worried. He stuck a talisman on the miniature Two-Headed Little Pig.

The Two-Headed Little Pig sensed it for a moment but didn’t feel anything wrong, so it didn’t pay any attention.

Then, the two siblings took out a puppet artifact that looked like a mouse.

This was a puppet Saint Weapon that their father, Chu Feng, had refined when he used to play treasure hunting games with the two little toddlers. It was based on the characteristics of the ancient spirit beast, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, and was named Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

However, there was still a big gap between it and a real Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

A real Treasure-Seeking Mouse could find treasures no matter where they were.

But this puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse could only detect treasures underground.

The puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse was connected to the controller’s mind. As long as the Treasure-Seeking Mouse found a treasure, the controller would sense it.

Except for Emperor Weapons, no treasure underground could escape the perception of the puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

Moreover, the puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse was made of special materials. No matter how hard the ground was, it could drill a hole and slip in.

The two siblings injected their Divine Mark power into the puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse and formed hand seals with their little hands. The puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse’s two rat eyes immediately lit up with golden light. Then, with a whoosh, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

“Little Brother, you take the left, I’ll take the right.”

Chu Xin instructed.

“Okay, Big Sister.”

Chu Chen nodded his little head. Then, the two siblings closed their eyes and carefully sensed.

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig looked at Chu Xin, then at Chu Chen, and quietly backed away.

Little devils, still threatening me?

Only a fool wouldn’t run.

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig retreated to a corner before turning around and galloping away with all four hooves.

Oink! Oink!

After escaping, the miniature Two-Headed Little Pig let out excited oinks.

Finally free from those two little devils. I, the great Fire Xi King, am free again.

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig shook its body, wanting to return to its normal size.

However, no matter how hard it tried, there was no response.

What’s going on?

Why can’t I change back?

The Two-Headed Little Pig lowered its two little pig heads and thought carefully.

Could it be the talisman that little devil put on me?

The Two-Headed Little Pig quickly remembered the talisman it hadn’t paid much attention to before. It was very likely that because of that talisman, it couldn’t change back.

Damn little devils.

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig jumped up and down in place, shaking its two little pig heads frantically. It was very frustrated.

After venting for a while, the Two-Headed Little Pig drooped its head and ran back with its four hooves. It looked at the two little devils who were still closing their eyes without any awareness, and angrily lay down at their feet, giving up the idea of escaping.

◈◈◈

Without being able to return to its original size, it couldn’t regain its strength.

Without its strength, it would probably be swallowed by a demon beast as soon as it left this place.

Even if it barely managed to return to the Fire Xi Cave, how could it be the Fire Xi King in this tiny form?

“Found it.”

Just then, Chu Xin suddenly opened her eyes and shouted with joy.

“Big Sister, I found one too.”

Chu Chen also opened his eyes, excited.

“Let’s go, let’s dig for treasure.”

The two siblings each took out a small hoe and carried it on their shoulders. They each flew off in a different direction.

“Little Pig, follow my Little Brother.”

Chu Xin’s voice came from afar.

Oink!

The Two-Headed Little Pig let out a weak oink. Then, it took off with its four short legs, chasing after Chu Chen with all its might.

In its current form, it couldn’t even use ten percent of its power. It couldn’t even fly, and could only run on the ground.

“This is it.”

Chu Chen stopped at a certain spot in the Divine Sword Pavilion. A puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse popped out of the ground with a poof, squeaking.

Chu Chen made hand seals with his chubby little hands. The puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse burrowed back into the ground and headed to other places to continue searching for treasures hidden underground for the formation.

He then imitated his father, spitting on his little hand twice and rubbing them together vigorously. Then, holding the small hoe, with one foot in front and the other behind, he raised the hoe high and dug down hard.

Poof!

The small hoe easily dug a hole in the ground.

This was called the Treasure-Digging Hoe. It had the same characteristics as the puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse. No matter how hard the ground was, it could dig through it. But if it hit a treasure, it would automatically generate a protective shield to wrap around the hoe, so it wouldn’t damage the treasure.

It could be said that in order to give the two children a rich childhood, Chu Feng had spent a lot of effort.

“Digging and digging in a small yard, digging small pits, picking up small treasures. Digging and digging in a big yard, digging big pits, picking up big treasures.”

Chu Chen sang the treasure-digging nursery rhyme that his father had taught him while digging.

After singing it a dozen times, the ground had already been dug into a large pit that could accommodate Chu Chen.

The miniature Two-Headed Little Pig lay at the edge of the pit, stretching out its two little pig heads to look at the little devil in the pit. It saw him with his butt sticking out, bending over, waving the small hoe, singing that awful nursery rhyme.

Clang!

Suddenly, the small hoe made a clanging sound, obviously hitting something.

“Found it!”

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up. He threw the small hoe aside, squatted down, and stretched out his chubby little hands to pick up a small black sword about the same length as his arm.

Three golden runes flowed within the small black sword, the same runes as the three large characters on the Divine Sword Pavilion.

“It really is an ancient treasure.”

Chu Chen was overjoyed. Apart from him and his sister, he had only seen these golden runes on those three large characters and ancient treasures.

The small black sword was permeated with an ancient aura and powerful sword intent.

But compared to those three rune characters, it was still far inferior.

But no matter what, this was the first ancient treasure he had dug up since entering the Divine Sword Pavilion. Chu Chen was still very excited.

“Huh? Found another treasure?”

Just as Chu Chen was playing with the small black sword, he suddenly sensed the information transmitted back from the puppet Treasure-Seeking Mouse. His eyes immediately lit up, and he put the small sword into his Spatial Ring. Then, carrying the small hoe, he grabbed the Two-Headed Little Pig’s tail at the edge of the pit, lifted it upside down, and flew away.
