Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"After I break through, I need to eat a hundred roasted pigs."

Chu Xin muttered while eating.

The double-headed piglet, which was originally resting on Chu Chen's shoulder, trembled in fright at the words and nearly fell over.

"I wasn't talking about you."

Chu Chen patted the double-headed piglet, comforting it, "You're no longer a pig now, you're a dragon pig, stop thinking of yourself as a pig."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing it wasn't itself at risk of being eaten, the double-headed piglet lay down again, finding a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Two hours later, Chu Xin had swallowed all the ancient treasures containing divine power that Long Yufei had brought over.

Be it swords, spears, axes, or hammers, under her shiny white little teeth, they were as fragile as sugar beans, shattering at a bite. This left Ye Hongxue and Long Yufei stupefied and unable to come back to their senses for a long while.

Regrettably, after eating so many ancient treasures, she only managed to condense another Divine Rune on her right foot, owning a total of sixteen Divine Runes, and yet still failed to break through.

"Still no breakthrough?"

Long Yufei furrowed her brows slightly, realizing that this little child needed far more energy than she had anticipated.

While each of these ancient treasures did not contain much divine power, the total amount from all of them was enormous. Even a Martial God wouldn't manage to absorb it all.

She had thought that these ancient treasures would be enough for the two babies to break through, but unexpectedly, not even one of them could do so.

The key issue was, the competition was about to start. How could these two babies defeat the Heavenly Prides of Longzhou without a breakthrough?

"Just wait a bit longer, I'll find some more for you."

After saying this, Long Yufei took off into the sky.

The ancient treasures were already the imperial family's treasured collections; it seemed she would need to head to the Holy Land of Central State.

First, she returned to the Imperial Palace to report to her sister, the Empress, and after obtaining a royal decree, she set out for the Holy Land of Central State.

An hour later, Long Yufei returned to the Ye residence, handing Chu Xin a Sumeru Ring and said, "These are the last batch of ancient treasures containing divine power that I could find."

Chu Xin took the Sumeru Ring, glanced at it, and said, "Not sure if it will lead to a breakthrough, but let's give it a try."

Long Yufei nodded and sat down to wait. It had to be said that the foundation of the Holy Land was indeed much deeper than that of the royal family, at least in terms of ancient treasures, they had much more.

However, in exchanging so many ancient treasures from the Holy Land, the royal family also paid a huge price. She hoped that the little baby could successfully break through.

Chu Xin returned to her spot and began her "painful journey" of eating ancient treasures again.

These ancient treasures were really hard to eat. If it weren't for her promise to help Auntie Long beat Long Shaotian, she wouldn't want to eat these disgusting things.

Long Yufei anxiously watched the sky, calculating the time. The competition had already started, and she could only hope that her sister could delay a bit longer.

Ye Hongxue looked at Long Yufei and asked, "Princess, has the competition between the Heavenly Prides of Longzhou and Central State started already?"

"Yes!"

Long Yufei nodded.

Ye Hongxue frowned slightly, then looked at Chu Chen, who was leisurely drinking beast milk and eating roasted meat, and asked, "Should we let Ai Kaorou try? Didn't they say winning one match would be enough?"

However, Long Yufei shook her head and said, "Long Yusheng isn't a fool. If he suddenly sees a strange Heavenly Pride take the stage, he will definitely become cautious and send Long Shaotian straight out. And they say Long Shaotian, who has descended from the Divine Realm and broken through with secret techniques, has strength no ordinary Martial Emperor can match. Ai Kaorou facing him might not claim a victory."

Ye Hongxue thought about it and turned to look at Chu Xin, who was gobbling down the ancient treasures, muttering, "Then we can only pray that Ai Chirou breaks through soon."

Chu Chen wasn't as worried, sitting in a large chair, swinging his little feet and leisurely sipping his beast milk.

As for the double-headed piglet, it cared even less about these matters, lying on Chu Chen's shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Before long, another hour passed, and under the anxious gazes of Ye Hongxue and Long Yufei, a golden light shone on Chu Xin's left foot, gradually forming into a golden Divine Rune.

With seventeen Divine Runes, her strength had significantly increased, but there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

"Still unable to break through?"

Long Yufei frowned deeply, her heart filled with shock.

With so many ancient treasures, the accumulated divine power was immense, yet unexpectedly, this little one still could not break through?

The competition among the Heavenly Prides of the two states had already begun, and with the strength of Central State's Heavenly Prides, they likely couldn't hold out for long against those from Longzhou. What should be done?

Long Yufei rubbed her forehead, deeply troubled.

Right, that little milk baby had mentioned before, it seems capable of absorbing energy?

Thinking of this, she looked up at Chu Xin and asked, "Ai Chirou, can you guys absorb energy for cultivation?"

"Yes."

Chu Xin nodded. The divine water produced by her brother's Gathering God Pond could indeed make her break through faster.

"Any type of energy?"

Long Yufei thought for a moment, then asked again.

"I suppose so."

Chu Xin hesitated a bit before answering.

So far, it seemed that the Gathering God Pond could indeed absorb any type of energy.

After pondering for a moment, Long Yufei turned her head toward Ye Hongxue and said, "You take them to Central State's Forbidden Land. I will go report to my sister, hoping she can find a way to stall a few days."

"Central State's Forbidden Land?"

Ye Hongxue's mouth fell open in disbelief. "Princess, even the Martial Emperor dares not enter the Forbidden Land of Central State. Are you sure you want to let them enter that place?"

Long Yufei shook her head and said, "There's no need to go too deep. Even just at the periphery, the bizarre energy is quite dense. Let them absorb energy at the edge. I will come quickly."

Chu Xin blinked her big eyes, took a sip of beast milk, and asked curiously, "Is this Central State Forbidden Land very dangerous?"

Ye Hongxue gave a wry smile. "Dangerous is an understatement. For countless years, even the Martial Emperor has only ever been active at the periphery, never daring to venture too deep. Once anyone goes deep inside, it is essentially a death sentence. To this day, no one knows what lies in its depths."

"I see."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen's eyes sparkled, somewhat eager to test their limits.

Seeing this, Long Yufei furrowed her brows slightly, feeling that these two little milk babies weren't very reliable, and seriously warned, "Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, remember not to go too deep, just stay at the edge and absorb energy. If there is any danger, retreat from the Forbidden Land immediately, do you understand?"

"Got it, Aunt Long."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, their round eyes rolling around.

"Did you really remember?"

Long Yufei looked at them doubtfully.

"Aunt Long, we really remembered."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen said obediently, whether they truly remembered or not was something only they knew.

"Good!"

Long Yufei nodded and turned to leave once again.

"Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, come with me."

Ye Hongxue stood up and said.

"Okay, Aunt Ye."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison, then followed behind Ye Hongxue as they broke into the sky.
