Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Alright then!"

Seeing her sister's resolute attitude, Long Yufei considered for a moment and said, "Before that, let me go check out Longzhou first. If I can find those two little ones ahead of time, I'll quietly bring them back. As for the ancestral sacrifice, I can go by myself; there's no need for sister to bother. If I can't find them, sister can still go to Longzhou when the time for the sacrifice is near."

"Okay!"

After hesitating for a moment, Long Yurou finally nodded her head.

Long Yufei let out a slight sigh of relief, then a moment later, her face showed confusion as she said, "There's just one thing I can't figure out. Why are those two little ones always chasing after that female prisoner?"

Long Yurou shook her head; she couldn't understand it either. She had only recently learned of the female prisoner's identity, and those two little ones couldn't possibly know, yet it seemed like they were specifically targeting her.

"Wait! Did you say earlier that they ran out specifically to find me?"

Long Yurou suddenly had a flash of insight, turned to look at Long Yufei, and said, "Could those two little ones have mistaken her for me?"

"Mistaking that female prisoner for sister? My mind is a bit muddled, let me think this through."

Long Yufei looked confused, rubbing her cheeks in disbelief as she said, "Sister means to say, they mistook their own mother for being imprisoned in the Nine-story Heavenly Prison? And just because the Nine-story Heavenly Prison happened to hold a female prisoner, they thought she was their mother?"

"It seems likely to be the case."

Long Yurou nodded in agreement.

Realizing the truth, Long Yufei exclaimed, "If that's the case, then everything makes sense. No wonder those two little ones emptied the Royal Treasury; they mistook sister as the enemy who imprisoned their mother. With that said, their deliberate provocations towards sister—could they be trying to infuriate her so she'd lock them in the Heavenly Prison, making it easier for them to rescue 'mother'?"

Long Yurou couldn't help but nod with a wry smile and said, "Thinking back now, it is very likely so. If it weren't for your sake, they probably wouldn't even have participated in the grand competition between the two states of Heavenly Pride."

Long Yufei clicked her tongue in admiration, "Your kids are really cunning, how old are they? Only three years old, right? When they grow up, they'll be incredible. No idea how brother-in-law teaches them; not only are they strong, but he's also nurtured them to be so astute."

At the mention, a look of love appeared in Long Yurou's eyes, and her lips curled into a happy smile, "My husband always comes up with some bizarre ideas, so of course his children are bright, lively, and quirky."

Long Yufei inwardly sighed, realizing that her sister only ever showed genuine smiles when talking about her brother-in-law.

Turning to Long Yufei, Long Yurou asked, "Yufei, the journey to Longzhou is dangerous. Do you want to recall all your avatars and merge with them in advance?"

Long Yufei shook her head and said, "No need for now; if I'm in a situation I can't handle, I'll call them back then. Right now, those avatars aren't very strong. Once they all reach the Martial Emperor Realm, I can merge with them and directly break through to the Martial God Realm."

"Okay!"

Long Yurou nodded, cautioning her, "Those two kids are important, but you are just as important. If things turn dire, immediately send a message, and I will personally lead an army into Longzhou."

"I understand, sister," Long Yufei said with a smile and a nod.

"By the way, there's also that female prisoner."

Long Yurou hesitated before revealing, "She is actually our mother."

"Mother? She's not dead?" Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

Long Yufei was visibly shocked, filled with surprise, but then frowned and said, "That's not right. I saw mother's body with my own eyes, and I buried her with my own hands. How can this be?"

"The specifics aren't clear from that Jade Scroll. If you can find her, try to bring her back," Long Yurou replied, shaking her head.

"Alright!"

Long Yufei nodded firmly, then took her leave from Long Yurou and departed.

Seven days later, at the core of the Illusion God Mountain Range, Chu Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his body emanating a faint golden glow.

The Gathering God Pond had completed the energy conversion and had obtained a total of five drops of Divine Water.

The quality of the Illusion God power absorbed by the Gathering God Pond this time was much higher than before, and naturally, the same amount converted yielded different quantities of Divine Water.

Chu Xin sat on the side, holding roasted meat in one hand and a bottle of Beast Milk in the other, taking a bite of the meat, a sip of the milk, while occasionally glancing at Chu Chen, looking utterly relaxed.

Roar!

From within the Illusion God Abyss, the occasional furious roars of Illusion Beasts could be heard, along with the sounds of them crashing against the Prohibition.

Chu Xin got up from her little chair, walked to the edge of the Illusion God Abyss, crouched down, and looked at the Illusion Beast below the prohibition, speaking in a babyish voice, "Stop making trouble. Be good and stay there. Once I finish the Illusion Beast meat in my hand, and feel like eating again, I'll come looking for you. Oh, and you can give birth to more little Illusion Beasts, so there will be even more meat in the future."

Roar!

Perhaps understanding her, the Illusion Beasts angrily rammed against the prohibition. Unfortunately, this prohibition was personally crafted by the Martial God Daddy, its power enormously formidable. No matter how they attacked, they could not break through it.

Hum!

Just at that moment, a golden light shot up into the sky from Chu Chen's body.

"Did you make a breakthrough?"

Chu Xin stood up, turned her head to look at Chu Chen, her round, big eyes sparkling with excitement.

She saw divine runes circling about Chu Chen, a total of eighteen, each flashing with a terrifying Sword Intent.

"Eighteen Divine Runes, sis, I've finally broken through to the Second Realm,"

Chu Chen opened his eyes, rose from the void, waving his little fists, and said excitedly. While speaking, he glanced at Chu Xin a few times, seemingly itching for a try.

"I saw."

Chu Xin's round, big eyes narrowed, and she said with a giggly smile, "What? Want to have a spar with me to see who's stronger?"

"No."

Chu Chen indeed had somewhat of that intention, but seeing his sister's expression, he chickened out instantly, shaking his head and waving his hands, he said earnestly, "Sister, you are the second in the world, I am the third. No need to fight."

"That's more like it."

Chu Xin giggled, nodding her little head, very satisfied with the respect she commanded in her brother's heart.

"Little Piggy still asleep?"

Chu Chen changed the subject, asking.

"No, sleeps like a log," Chu Xin shook her head.

"Sister, he really is a pig," Chu Chen reminded in a soft voice.

Chu Xin paused for a moment, then added, "Sleeps like a dead pig, not moving at all."

"Oh!"

Chu Chen nodded, asking, "So can we go to Longzhou now?"

"Let's go!"

Chu Xin took out the Divine Coffin, jumped in with Chu Chen, then her petite hand formed a hand seal. The Divine Coffin trembled and broke through the air in an instant.

"This golden light!"

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace, Long Yurou, who was delving into the legacy of the old Martial God, sensed the strong surge of momentum, looked up at the window, and caught sight of the golden light piercing the sky.

"When Xin'er had her breakthrough, there was also such a golden light. Could it be Chen'er making a breakthrough?"

Surprise flashed in her eyes, "That's the direction of the Illusion God Mountain Range. Quick, send some people with the Blood Demon Mask to the Illusion God Mountain Range to find those two kids and bring them back, and meanwhile test the effect of the Blood Demon Mask."

The Blood Demon Mask was crafted by Chu Feng, a powered-up version of the Blood Demon Mask.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old crone's hoarse voice sounded.

"Children, I hope we can find you this time."

Having heard from Long Yufei before, she thought these two kiddos had already gone to Longzhou, not expecting them to still be in the Illusion God Mountain Range, cultivating.

If she had known this earlier, she would have sent people to look for them sooner, and perhaps they would have been found by now.
