Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

While Chu Xin and the others were joyously eating barbecue, the Central State army was methodically taking over prisoners from the Demon State, and how these prisoners were dealt with was not their concern.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen, while eating barbecue, took out all the treasures they had collected during this period and summoned their respective Eight Great Battle Forms. Eighteen naughty children formed a circle to inspect and categorize each cultivation method and treasure one by one.

These items were actually of no use to them, but what they enjoyed was the process of emptying the treasures and examining them.

Ye Hongxue looked at the mountain-like pile of cultivation methods and treasures, completely dumbfounded.

These two little fellows really emptied out the treasures of the Heartless Sword Sect and Demon State Mansion, which was just outrageous.

After having their fill, the eighteen naughty children had almost finished categorizing the cultivation methods and treasures, which were then put back into the siblings' Sumeru Rings.

After that, Chu Xin and Chu Chen, along with their twin-headed piglet, roamed around the Heartless Sword Sect and Demon State Mansion searching for treasures.

The next morning, while Chu Xin and Chu Chen were still sound asleep, a guard from the Demon State City transmission array rushed to Ye Hongxue in haste and reported, "Reporting to the Inspector, the transmission array leading to the Imperial City of Central State has been reopened, and we can return to Central State at any time."

"Good, I know," replied Ye Hongxue, then turned and entered the siblings' room. She saw the two kiddos splayed out, sleeping soundly, along with the twin-headed piglet lying beside them. She couldn't help but smile slightly. The scene was somewhat heartwarming.

Even though these two kiddos were sleeping with masks on, it was unknown what kind of faces were hidden beneath those masks; they must be very cute, she thought.

"Ai Kaorou, Ai Chirou, wake up, we're going to the Imperial City," Ye Hongxue called the siblings awake.

"Is the transmission array operational?" asked Chu Xin and Chu Chen as they sprang up from the bed, their faces filled with excitement.

Grunt!

The twin-headed piglet also opened its bemused pairs of eyes, looking around.

"Yes!"

Ye Hongxue nodded her head.

"Great, Aunt Ye, let's go now," said Chu Xin as she grabbed the still confused twin-headed piglet onto her shoulder, then, flanking Ye Hongxue on both sides with Chu Chen, she hurried towards the direction of the transmission array.

Ye Hongxue wore a faint smile, letting the two little ones pull her along as they sprinted.

Although the rebellion in the Demon State was essentially quelled, the Central State army still remained very cautious, deploying elite guards at the transmission array to prevent the remnants of the rebels from escaping through it.

Ye Hongxue presented her Demon State Inspector token and said, "I need to report back to His Majesty in Central State, activate the transmission array swiftly."

"Yes!"

The elite guard responsible for the transmission array respectfully bowed after checking the token, then ordered the activation of the transmission array, with Central State as the destination.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen stood next to Ye Hongxue, nervously clutching the corners of their clothes.

Leaving Big Stone Village, passing through Lanzhou, Jiuzhou Secret Realm, Cangzhou, Thunder State, Desolate State, and Demon State, after countless battles and many days, they were finally heading to Central State, finally going to save their mother.

At this crucial moment, they became somewhat nervous.

They didn't know where their mother was imprisoned or whether she would recognize them upon seeing them.

The two little ones under the age of four had a lot on their minds at this moment.

Noticing the unusual demeanor of the two kids, and discerning their nervousness, Ye Hongxue said with a smile, "You two little ones weren't even nervous facing attacks from a Martial Emperor. I didn't expect you to be so nervous about taking a transmission array. Don't worry, we'll be there in a moment."

"Aunt Ye, we aren't just nervous about taking the transmission array."

Chu Chen wanted to correct her, as they had taken transmission arrays before and wouldn't be nervous because of that.

"What is it because of?"

Ye Hongxue asked curiously.

The double-headed piglet also blinked its narrow pig eyes, staring at Chu Chen, equally curious about why his elder sister and second brother were so nervous.

"It's because... Hmm!"

Just as Chu Chen was about to explain, Chu Xin covered his mouth.

Ye Hongxue looked at Chu Xin with a puzzled expression, not knowing what tricks this young girl was playing.

Chu Xin giggled, her eyes spinning wildly, and said in a milky voice, "Auntie Ye, we've just never been to the Imperial City, we're just excited, not nervous."

"Exactly, we're just a bit excited," Chu Chen nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Oh, it's excitement then."

Ye Hongxue smiled wryly, she could still tell the difference between nervousness and excitement, but she didn't point it out; instead, she cooperated by showing an expression of sudden realization.

Hum!

Just then, the Transmission Array lit up with the hexagram pattern, and Chu Xin and her two companions along with the double-headed piglet vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace's secret chamber of Central State, Empress Long Yurou, clad in a dragon robe, was comprehending the legacy left by the old Martial God.

With the legacy of the old Martial God, her cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and her cultivation had now reached the late stage of Martial Emperor.

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, a hoarse female voice came from outside the chamber, "The Inspector of Longzhou has sent back intelligence."

"Understood."

Long Yurou ended her cultivation, slowly opened her eyes, and walked out of the chamber.

Outside the chamber, an elderly crone was standing by; seeing Long Yurou emerge, she hurriedly presented a jade scroll with both hands respectfully.

Long Yurou took the jade scroll, returned to the chamber, and infused the scroll with the unique True Qi of the royal bloodline.

Hum!

A faint golden light shone on the jade scroll, subsequently revealing the image of an ordinary-looking man, kneeling on the ground.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the State Governor of Longzhou is leading ten Heavenly Prides of Longzhou to Central State to challenge the Heavenly Prides of Central State, aiming to force Your Majesty to abdicate. Those three gods from the Divine Realm are likely to be in their company; Your Majesty should be cautious."

After that, the figure of the man disappeared.

Long Yurou's brows slightly furrowed, ever since the old Martial God passed away and those three streaks of golden light descended, she knew that Longzhou would surely act.

However, her previous efforts had been occupied dealing with the rebellion in Demon State, and the million Blood Puppets of Cangzhou and Desolate State, leaving her no opportunity to deal with Longzhou's affairs, only sending secret messages to the Longzhou Inspector to keep a covert watch.

Sure enough, Longzhou finally made its move.

To force her abdication through a confrontation between the Heavenly Prides of Central State and Longzhou?

It wasn't that simple; the guy was using the divine intimidation of those three gods from the Lower Realm to press her, and was also testing if the old Martial God had really died.

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, that hoarse female voice rang out again, "The State Governor of Longzhou and others have arrived, requesting to see Your Majesty."

"They've arrived quite quickly."

Long Yurou let out a cold laugh and stood up to leave the chamber.
