Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Can Sword Beasts Be Eaten? I’ve Never Tried Them Before!

“Uh!”

The old man’s expression froze. He looked at the brats lying by the pool, with their little butts sticking up and their little heads stretching out to look at the water. He was completely speechless.

Wouldn’t a normal person’s first reaction to seeing this Divine Sword Pool be shock or amazement at the powerful Sword Intent within? These brats’ first thought was actually whether the water was drinkable.

“Grandpa, can we drink it?”

Chu Xin turned her head and asked again.

The old man came back to his senses and subconsciously shook his head. “No, you can’t drink it. But you can comprehend Sword Intent inside. However, there are Sword Beasts formed from Sword Intent and Sword Qi in the Divine Sword Pool. They are very powerful.”

“Sword Beasts?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s eyes both lit up.

“Can Sword Beasts be grilled?”

“Can Sword Beasts be eaten?”

The two siblings asked in unison.

The old man said weakly, “Although Sword Beasts are formed from Sword Intent and Sword Qi, they are similar to ordinary demon beasts or ferocious beasts. They are living beings with flesh and blood, so naturally, they can be grilled and eaten.”

“Great!”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen cheered excitedly.

“I’ve never grilled a Sword Beast before.” Chu Chen rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

“I’ve never eaten a Sword Beast before.” Drool dripped from the corner of Chu Xin’s mouth.

The old man held his forehead with his hand, feeling very speechless. With a wave of his hand, he collected the formation foundations and said, “Go find them yourselves.”

After saying that, his body flickered and disappeared, returning to the Artifact Spirit Space. He buried the formation foundations back into the ground. Under his arrangement, they combined with the other unexcavated formation foundations to form a new protective formation.

Because a few formation foundations had been eaten, this new protective formation was naturally not as good as the previous one.

“Those two damn brats, it would be better if they were swallowed alive by the Sword Beasts.”

The old man cursed under his breath. He had guarded the Divine Sword Pavilion for countless years, and this was the first time he had encountered such an outrageous situation.

But when he thought about how those two brats would be unable to move freely in the Divine Sword Pool, a smile appeared on his old face.

The Sword Intent and Sword Qi within the Divine Sword Pool were dense, making it impossible for cultivators to use their spiritual sense to probe, and even their vision would be affected. However, the Sword Beasts would not be affected at all.

Therefore, fighting Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pool was very disadvantageous for cultivators.

Only when the Divine Sword Fruit ripened, after it had devoured the mist formed by the Sword Qi above the Divine Sword Pool and most of the Sword Intent in the pool, would the cultivators’ spiritual sense and vision be restored. That was the best time for cultivators to enter the Divine Sword Pool and compete for the Divine Sword Fruit.

Although those two brats were quite powerful, entering the Divine Sword Pool prematurely was practically a death sentence.

Humph!

Serves you right for eating my formation foundations.

The old man snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, an image appeared in front of him, showing the Divine Sword Pool.

The figures of Chu Xin and Chu Chen were also in the image, but no sound could be heard.

At this moment, by the Divine Sword Pool, Chu Chen looked at the vast expanse of white and said, “Big Sister, Grandpa said the Divine Sword Fruit isn’t ripe yet. We can go grill some Sword Beasts to eat first.”

Although the Divine Sword Pool was called a pool, it was actually larger than an ordinary lake.

Chu Xin nodded repeatedly. “Okay, let’s go. I can’t wait any longer.”

The thought of eating Sword Beast barbecue, which she had never tasted before, made her mouth water again.

“Big Sister, wait a minute.”

Chu Chen stopped Chu Xin, who was about to jump into the pool. With a wave of his chubby little hand, a palm-sized model boat appeared and grew rapidly in the wind, instantly turning into a one-zhang long boat.

“Luckily, I didn’t lose the little boat that Dad made for us when we went boating before. Let’s go boating.”

Chu Chen made a hand seal with his chubby little hand, and the small boat gently landed on the surface of the pool. Then, he jumped onto the boat.

The small boat swayed gently, but his small body remained as steady as a mountain.

“Boating is good.”

Chu Xin’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands happily before jumping onto the boat as well.

◈◈◈

“Little Pig, come up quickly.”

Chu Chen waved his little hand at the Two-Headed Little Pig on the shore and urged.

Oink! Oink!

The Two-Headed Little Pig shook its two little heads like a rattle drum, and its body kept retreating.

It was a pure fire-attribute demon beast, and although the water in the Divine Sword Pool was liquefied Sword Qi, it was still water.

Have you ever seen a fire-attribute demon beast that likes to go into the water?

If it were at its peak, it might have been fine, but with its current small body, it couldn’t suppress its fear of water.

And if it really encountered a Sword Beast in this Divine Sword Pool, its small body wouldn’t stand a chance.

“Don’t run.”

Chu Chen shouted in a childish voice and flew out from the small boat, grabbing the Two-Headed Little Pig’s tail and lifting it upside down.

Although he was craving the meat of the Sword Beasts, the deliciousness of grilled pig head and trotters was still irresistible.

Oink! Oink!

The Two-Headed Little Pig kicked its four hooves wildly, its whole body resisting.

“Don’t move!”

Chu Chen slapped the Two-Headed Little Pig’s head, causing it to cry out in pain and stop moving.

But its whole body was trembling, and its four eyes were tightly closed, not daring to open them.

“Be good and don’t run around.”

Chu Chen placed the Two-Headed Little Pig on the small boat and warned it vigilantly.

Oink!

The Two-Headed Little Pig let out a weak cry and lay down on the small boat, its two front hooves covering its two pairs of pig eyes, not daring to move at all.

“Little Brother, let’s go!” Chu Xin urged.

“Okay!”

Chu Chen nodded, made a hand seal, and a surge of golden Divine Mark power poured into the small boat. The boat shot out with a whoosh.

“They said there are Sword Beasts. Where are they?”

The small boat had been traveling for a while, but the Divine Sword Pool remained as quiet as ever. There were no Sword Beasts, not even a small fish.

“I don’t know. Did we go the wrong way?”

Chu Chen was also very puzzled. Didn’t that Artifact Spirit Grandpa say that there were many Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pool? How come they hadn’t seen a single one after all this time?

Oink!

The Two-Headed Little Pig let out a weak cry. It’s better if there are no Sword Beasts. What if it gets eaten by one if they encounter one?

Whoosh!

Just then, the water in front of them suddenly began to churn violently.

“Are the Sword Beasts coming?” Chu Chen stopped the small boat.

A normal person’s first reaction to this situation would be to be on guard, but Chu Xin and Chu Chen were overjoyed.

“Little Brother, set up the grill.”

Chu Xin stared at the surface of the water with her big, round eyes, without even turning her head.

“Okay!”

Chu Chen waved his chubby little hand and took out the grill, setting it up on the small boat.

The small boat was one zhang long, which was enough to accommodate this normal-sized grill.

The Artifact Spirit old man, who had been observing in secret, couldn’t help but rub his forehead when he saw the grill suddenly appear.

These two brats hadn’t even seen a Sword Beast yet, and they didn’t even know if they could defeat them, but they had already prepared the grilling tools first.

He didn’t know whether to call these two foodies fearless or just plain reckless.

They didn’t even have the most basic combat common sense. How could their father let them venture into the secret realm?
