Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Big brother, what is this?"

Chu Xin asked curiously, gnawing on a pig's head while tilting her little head and staring at the red crystal stone in Long Shaoyu's hand.

Chu Chen, who was drinking beast milk, also looked over with curiosity.

Long Shaoyu smiled and said, "This is the crystal core of a Double-headed Fire Boar, and it's key for us to get close to the Fire Boar King."

"Oh, then hurry up."

Chu Xin glanced at the crystal core a couple of times then lost interest and kept urging him on.

She was interested only in food or ancient treasures.

"It'll be ready soon."

Long Shaoyu smiled slightly, tossed the Double-headed Fire Boar's crystal core into the air, and formed a hand seal, channeling True Qi into it.

"Everyone stand behind me."

Long Shaoyu said.

The square-faced youth and the bow-wielding youth quickly took their places, while the siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, each holding a pig's head, revealed confused eyes beneath their masks.

After gnawing on a piece of pig meat and sipping some beast milk, they casually took their positions.

Whirr!

A stream of searing, strange fluctuations erupted from the crystal core.

A red energy enveloped everyone, forming a phantom of a Double-headed Fire Boar.

As Long Shaoyu continuously injected more True Qi, the phantom became more solid until it finally materialized into a tangible Double-headed Fire Boar.

Roar!

The Double-headed Fire Boar roared towards the sky, its daunting beastly roar almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Chu Xin sucked the grease off her fingers by placing them in her mouth, then curiously poked at the red searing energy, her finger passing through it unimpeded.

"Little sister Ai Chirou, don't stick your hand out, or the Double-headed Fire Boar might spot the flaw,"

Long Shaoyu, controlling everything, naturally felt Chu Xin's slight movement and quickly cautioned her.

"Oh!"

Chu Xin withdrew her hand and continued eating the roasted meat.

Chu Chen, who also wanted to poke his hand out, could only sheepishly withdraw his chubby hands, pretending nothing had happened and quietly drank his beast milk.

"Sword, condense!"

Long Shaoyu shouted, and a giant sword formed beneath everyone's feet.

"Go!"

With a gesture from Long Shaoyu's hand seal, the giant sword soared into the air, diving down from the top of the mountain.

From the outside, it appeared as if a colossal Double-headed Fire Boar had launched into the air from over the mountain, leaping down and landing firmly within the Fire Boar Valley with a thunderous crash.

The huge disturbance naturally stirred the Double-headed Fire Boars resting or bathing in the Magma Lake in the valley, who all got up and surrounded Chu Xin and others.

Several enormous pig heads approached, sniffing the searing energy around their bodies repeatedly, seemingly to confirm the identity of this suddenly appeared Double-headed Fire Boar.

"So many pig heads."

Chu Xin became greedy again, and saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth.

"How long would they take to roast?"

Chu Chen's chubby hands began to itch with anticipation again.

In his little mind, he had even imagined a scene of roasting several hundred pig heads at the same time.

The sight would certainly be spectacular.

The square-faced youth and the bow-wielding youth, however, were a bit nervous; there were several hundred Double-headed Fire Boars in the valley, many of which were of the Sixth Rank. If they were exposed and attacked by these hundreds of Double-headed Fire Boars, even their strong abilities might not save them.

Moreover, within the Fire Boar Valley, the two-headed fire boars had the home field advantage, their actual strength being higher than their Realm.

Among the group of five, only Long Shaoyu was of the Fire Element, making the outcome of a battle unpredictable.

Luckily, Long Shaoyu's secret technique was indeed impressive, and the crystal core bore the scent of the two-headed fire boars, successfully deceiving their noses.

Seemingly confirming the identities of the group, the two-headed fire boars returned to their previous spots to lie down, or re-submerged themselves in the Magma Lake.

The square-faced youth and the bow-carrying youth breathed a sigh of relief.

However, siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen felt a bit regretful; so many pigheads were right before their eyes, yet they couldn't roast or eat them, which was somewhat frustrating.

Long Shaoyu formed a hand seal, leading the group onwards and safely arrived at the deepest part of Fire Boar Valley, stopping in front of a huge cave.

"The Two-Headed Fire Boar King is inside this cave,"

Long Shaoyu whispered, "Ai Chirou, little sister, Ai Kaorou, little brother, later you two will capture the Two-Headed Fire Boar King, and we will guard the cave entrance to keep the other two-headed fire boars out."

"Okay!"

Chu Xin nodded her head. She didn't want Long Shaoyu and the other two to interfere. What if they accidentally killed the Pig King?

Her father had said that this kind of regenerative food was very precious and must be utilized sustainably, not killed in one go.

After Long Shaoyu had led the two-headed fire boars into the cave, he dispelled the disguise and whispered, "The Two-Headed Fire Boar King is deep inside the cave, act according to plan."

"Okay!"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded their little heads and vanished in a flash.

Long Shaoyu turned to the square-faced youth and the bow-carrying youth, speaking indifferently, "You both guard the cave, I'll go take the opportunity to pick the Fire Boar Grass."

"Yes, my lord."

The two responded respectfully and then positioned themselves on either side of the cave entrance.

Long Shaoyu's figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot, sneaking towards the depths of the cave.

The energy inside the cave was much hotter than outside, and the deeper he went, the hotter it became.

The Fire Boar Grass was one of Long Shaoyu's targets for this journey into the Secret Realm, but since it was growing inside the cave inhabited by the Two-Headed Fire Boar King, one had to kill or distract the King to obtain it.

Fighting here was very disadvantageous for non-Fire Element cultivators.

The Two-Headed Fire Boar King's strength would be greatly enhanced, while non-Fire Element cultivators would be greatly suppressed, creating a significant disparity.

Although Long Shaoyu was a Fire Element Sword Cultivator, his strength was nearly equal to that of the two-headed fire boars, making it hard to determine a winner in a short time.

If a battle broke out, the external two-headed fire boar herd would storm in, and even if they barely killed the Two-Headed Fire Boar King, it would be difficult to fight their way out.

This was also the reason why, over the years, numerous Heavenly Prides from Jiuzhou had entered the Secret Realm but seldom visited Fire Boar Valley.

At the same time, this was why Long Shaoyu had been continuously courting the favor of siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

He needed to use the siblings to entangle the Two-Headed Fire Boar King, giving him enough time to collect the Fire Boar Grass.

Whether the siblings could beat the Two-Headed Fire Boar King was not his concern.

Roar!

Before even reaching the depths of the cave, Long Shaoyu heard the angry roar of the Two-Headed Fire Boar King; the entire cave was shaking.

"I hope you can hold on for a bit longer."

Long Shaoyu whispered, collecting the Fire Boar Grass also took some time, and he needed to gather it before the battle ended to get out through the cave entrance.

Otherwise, if the Two-Headed Fire Boar King killed those two kids and caught up, they would be attacked from both fronts.

As for the kids' Sumeru Rings, they could only return after getting out and killing another two-headed fire boar, using its crystal core for transformation, and then coming back for it.

Thinking this, his figure flashed, appearing at the deepest part of the cave.

"This!"

Upon closer inspection, Long Shaoyu's eyes widened in astonishment.
