Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

The screams of the Yin Demon Blade Saint grew weaker, and the siblings, Chu Xin and Chu Chen, had had their fun, so they stopped their game of kickball. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a final kick, Chu Chen sent him flying into the Flying Boat.

"Granny, I’ll leave this lust demon to you."

Although he had been clamoring to kill the Yin Demon Blade Saint, he found he was somewhat reluctant when it came to actually taking a life.

"After all, he’s still just a three-year-old kid."

The old woman felt a twinge of sentiment in her heart, and then turned to look at the Yin Demon Blade Saint lying on the ground, his eyes dull and body like a lump of mud, as her lips twitched slightly.

Just as she was lamenting how the cute little children were too compassionate to strike a deadly blow to their enemy, she quickly retracted her thoughts upon seeing the plight of the Yin Demon Blade Saint.

With her keen eyesight, she could tell at a glance that all of the bones in the Yin Demon Blade Saint’s body were completely shattered.

Even if they didn’t kill him, his own body would likely press down on his internal organs and kill him before long.

This was far more cruel than a quick death.

However, she didn’t harbor any sympathy for the Yin Demon Blade Saint’s plight; considering the fates of those he had killed before, it was nothing but karmic retribution—he had it coming.

"I’ll go handle this."

With a wave of her hand, a gust of True Qi carried away the stunned Yin Demon Blade Saint, and he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Before long, everyone felt the ethereal presence of the Heavenly Sword Intent.

Naturally, everyone knew what had happened, but no one said a word.

After all, there were still two three-year-old children present.

"What a shame, there’s no roasted meat to eat."

Chu Xin licked her small lips, looking a bit regretful, but her gaze drifted over to her younger brother beside her.

Without waiting for her to speak, Chu Chen quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "Sister, there really isn’t any more roasted meat this time. All the Ai Kaorou I had hidden away has been eaten by you."

"Alright then."

Chu Xin glanced at the Sumeru Ring on Chu Chen’s finger and nodded her little head in resignation.

Long Yufei hugged the siblings in her arms and laughed, "When we get to the State Mansion, aunty will give you lots and lots of Demon Beast meat so you can roast and eat as much as you like."

"Yay! But you mustn’t lie to us, aunty," Chu Chen said joyously, clapping his small hands.

"Daddy says that liars will have really, really long noses."

Chu Xin touched Long Yufei’s nose and then gestured in front of it with her small hands, "About this long, it’d be so ugly."

Long Yufei was amused by the siblings’ antics and couldn’t resist planting a kiss on each of their little cheeks.

The siblings paused briefly, then in unison, they raised their tiny, snowy-white and chubby hands to wipe their faces.

"What are you doing?"

Long Yufei was a bit confused. What did that mean? Was she being disliked by two cute kids? She, the second most beautiful woman of the Imperial City, whom many longed to kiss, was being rejected by two cute kids?

"Wuwu, I’m not pure anymore."

Chu Chen’s face drooped and his eyes brimmed with tears.

"Not pure?" Long Yufei was somewhat bewildered.

While wiping her face, Chu Xin explained, "Daddy says that we shouldn’t let others kiss us, or else we’re not pure children anymore."

Her voice also carried a hint of a sob.

Long Yufei was speechless. What kind of nonsensical things had their father taught them?

Seeing the two cute kids on the verge of tears, Long Yufei quickly said, "Can your daddy kiss you?"

"Of course, daddy can," the two kids affirmed with their eyes filled with tears. Nodding vigorously, they flung the tear drops from their eyes.

"What about your mother? Can she kiss you?" Long Yufei asked again.

"Mommy can, of course," the children nodded again.

Long Yufei patiently explained, "Then you can think of me as your mother’s sister, which makes me your little aunty, right? Can a little aunty kiss you?"

"Little aunty can," Chu Chen nodded.

Chu Xin, however, tilted her head, hesitantly saying, "But aunty isn’t our real little aunty."

Long Yufei’s eyes twinkled as she smiled and said, "Then after you find your mother, I’ll become sworn sisters with her. I’ll acknowledge her as my elder sister, that should be okay, right?"

"Mhm, mhm."

The two adorable children wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and nodded repeatedly, their faces once again bursting with radiant and innocent smiles.

Long Yufei finally breathed a sigh of relief, having managed to coax the two little cuties. This was even more tiring than battling Blood Wolf.

Once I meet your father, I must have a good talk with him. What does it mean that children are no longer innocent once they’re acquainted?

The female guards covered their mouths, trying hard to restrain their laughter.

"State Governor, let’s go."

The old crone returned to the Flying Boat, letting Long Yufei pilot it as she prepared to sit cross-legged and regulate her breathing.

"Wait a minute."

Chu Chen suddenly spoke up.

"Ai Kaorou, what’s the matter?" Long Yufei asked, puzzled.

"Wait for me."

Chu Chen soared into the air, dived down, and hovered above the deep abyssal rift. He took out a Jade Bottle and mumbled a spell with his lips moving rapidly.

Immediately, the Jade Bottle enlarged drastically and began to exert a powerful suction force.

The next moment, the chilly spring water turned into a waterfall, cascading backward into the Jade Bottle.

"He wants to collect the Earth Evil Yin Spring?"

"What does he want that thing for?"

The female guards were astonished, their voices a buzz of speculation.

The old crone and Long Yufei exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Indeed, the Earth Evil Yin Spring was a treasure, but collecting it was difficult, and even more challenging was refining an object to contain it.

Clearly, the Jade Bottle in the little one’s hands was also an exceptionally rare treasure.

Moments later, Chu Chen finished collecting the Earth Evil Yin Spring, placed the Jade Bottle into the Sumeru Ring, and the chilly atmosphere of the area quickly dissipated.

"All right, let’s go."

Back on the Flying Boat, Chu Chen spoke contentedly.

As Long Yufei piloted the Flying Boat, she asked curiously, "Ai Kaorou, why are you collecting Earth Evil Yin Spring? The sword techniques you practice are fierce and overbearing; you can’t cultivate with the Earth Evil Yin Spring, can you?"

"Cultivate with it? I don’t want to use this thing for cultivation."

Chu Chen shook his head repeatedly.

"Then what are you using it for?" a female guard couldn’t help but ask.

"For cooling."

Chu Chen took out a transparent bottle from the Sumeru Ring, with handles on both sides and a soft nipple for a cap on top.

This was a special feeding bottle that Chu Feng had refined for the two children—to be used for drinking milk, yet its defensive capability had genuinely reached the Holy Artifact Level.

The bottle was filled with a white liquid, and a cold breath was emanating from the entire bottle.

"Earth Evil Yin Qi?"

Long Yufei was somewhat surprised. Could this be from the Earth Evil Yin Spring they had just collected?

Chu Chen took a small chair out of the Sumeru Ring, just the right size for his little bottom. He leaned back on the small chair, crossed his legs, held the feeding bottle in one hand, and the chair’s armrest in the other, took a sip, and said with a face full of pleasure, "It’s so cool and refreshing, really delicious."

"Wow! Little brother, you’re so clever, hurry and cool mine too."

Chu Xin also took out a feeding bottle from her own Sumeru Ring, and didn’t forget to complain, "Daddy is really terrible, drinking something nice and cool himself, saying how delicious it is, while warning us not to drink it, hmph!"

"Sister, I’ll share some Earth Evil Yin Spring with you so you can do it yourself."

Chu Chen took out a Jade Bottle from the Sumeru Ring, which contained some Earth Evil Yin Spring he had portioned out.

Chu Xin accepted the Jade Bottle and placed it along with her own feeding bottle back into the Sumeru Ring.

Long Yufei and the female guards watched, their eyelids twitching. Only these little ones could think to use Earth Evil Yin Spring for cooling, and only they dared to drink it.
