Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Big brother, are you alright?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were startled by Long Shaoyu's sudden wailing, almost dropping the roast pig head they were holding.

Long Shaoyu ignored them, lifted the big pot over his head, tilted it, and a droplet of bone Blood Soup slowly formed and fell, which he caught with his tongue.

Feeling the faint energy fluctuations of Fire Boar Grass, Long Shaoyu wanted to cry without tears.

I had just closed my eyes and practiced cultivation for a while, and that big pot of soup was all gone?

He turned his head to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, unable to comprehend how those two kids' tiny bellies could contain such a large pot of soup.

"Big brother looks so pitiable."

Pity flashed through Chu Xin's big eyes.

Chu Chen, however, was nervously staring at the big pot and said, "Big brother, if you want some soup, I can cook another pot for you, but could you please not eat my pot?"

Eat the pot?

Long Shaoyu then came back to his senses, observing the strange looks in Chu Xin and Chu Chen's eyes. His face reddened, and he awkwardly set down the big pot, cleared his throat twice, and said, "It tastes pretty good."

"It really does taste pretty good."

The square-faced youth, having finished his cultivation, subconsciously echoed.

"Young master, I have also broken through to the peak of Martial Venerate."

The bow-holding youth said excitedly.

He had been in the late stage of Martial Venerate for many years, only a step away from the peak. After drinking a bowl of the dual-headed Fire Boar King's Blood Soup and absorbing the energy of the Fire Boar Grass in the soup, he successfully made a breakthrough.

Long Shaoyu turned and glared fiercely at the two, thinking how come these two rascals became so proactive in their cultivation? Turns out they had been drinking the Bone Blood Soup and were metabolizing the energy inside their bodies.

Not even inviting me to drink, didn't they even consider me a master?

"Uh!"

The expressions of the square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth stiffened as they shrank their necks, not daring to say a word.

It seemed rather inappropriate indeed to talk about Bone Blood Soup in front of the young master who hadn't had a single sip.

But they hadn't expected that such a large pot of soup would be finished so quickly by those two mischievous kids either.

Their gazes fell on Chu Xin and Chu Chen's flat little bellies, still puzzled at how those tiny stomachs could store such a large pot of soup.

"Big brother, you eat the roast meat first; I'll fetch some Blood Cooked Soup for you."

Chu Xin waved her little hand, split her own roast pig head in two, shared half with Long Shaoyu, then took out the fangs, picked up a large basin, and headed towards the Fire Boar King.

"No need, I'm fine with just the roast meat,"

Long Shaoyu spoke.

He wasn't really interested in drinking that Bone Blood Soup; he just wanted to absorb the energy of the Fire Boar Grass.

"Alright then."

Chu Xin walked back, hugging her half of the pig head and started eating eagerly.

After the second pig head was roasted, Chu Chen shared some with the square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth, and everyone became engrossed in their battle with the roast pig head.

"Delicious, really delicious."

"As expected of the Fire Boar King, it indeed tastes much better than the ordinary dual-headed Fire Boar."

Long Shaoyu and others kept praising it.

After finishing the roast pig head, Chu Xin and Chu Chen sprawled in their chairs, rubbing their bellies, enjoying the satisfaction of a full stomach.

Long Shaoyu and the others also lay on a large rock, patting their bulging bellies, not wanting to move.

After resting for a while, Chu Chen cleaned the grill and the big pot with "dishwashing water," gathered them into the Sumeru Ring, and asked, "Sister, where do we go now?"

Chu Xin got up, packed up her chair, and said, "Let's find the teleportation gateway to Central State, and hurry to Central State."

To Central State?

Hearing this, Long Shaoyu, who had originally planned to part ways with the siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, suddenly perked up and began listening intently.

"Sister, take out the map and let's have a look."

Chu Chen urged.

In the Lanzhou competition, Chu Xin was the first place, and her map was the most complete one of Lanzhou; his, being the second place, was not much use.

"Alright!"

Chu Xin took out her map, and the two little ones squatted on the ground, their small butts puckered up, and started studying the map.

"That should be it."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Half a day later, Chu Xin put away the map.

Chu Chen asked in confusion, "Sister, did you find where the Central State portal is?"

"No!"

Chu Xin shook her head and rolled her eyes in exasperation, "This map is like chicken scratch, even harder to recognize than the runes of a Talisman. Who knows where anything is? I also can't recognize the north, south, east, and west marked on it."

"What do we do now?"

Chu Chen furrowed his little brow, looking quite troubled.

If they couldn't find the Central State portal, they couldn't get to Central State, and without getting to Central State, they couldn't save their mother.

Thinking of this, his little mouth puckered, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Can't read the map?

Long Shaoyu's gaze flickered slightly, a new plan forming in his mind. He smiled and asked, "Ai Chirou little sister, what are you doing going to Central State?"

"We are going to save... ooh!" Chu Chen blurted out but was swiftly silenced by Chu Xin covering his little mouth.

"We're going to play! I've heard that the Imperial City of Central State is huge and really fun," Chu Xin said with a giggly smile.

Long Shaoyu knew these kids weren't telling the truth, but he didn't mind. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just having one map will make it very difficult to find the Central State portal in the Secret Realm. How about we combine our maps? That way we can see a bigger area. Once the Secret Realm ends, I'll take you to Central State."

"Really?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course, we've fought the Fire Boar King together, eaten roasted meat together; we're friends, right? Why would I lie to you?" Long Shaoyu said sincerely, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"That's great, big brother, let's go find the Central State portal now," Chu Xin urged.

"Not so fast!"

Long Shaoyu shook his head and said, "This Jiuzhou Secret Realm is a rare opportunity to come by, filled with Ancient Treasures and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures waiting for us to find. There's also a lot of food here that you can't get outside, so we absolutely can't miss out. After the Secret Realm is over, I'll take you to Central State, okay?"

"Ancient Treasures?" Chu Chen's eyes sparkled.

"A lot of food?" Drool once again flowed from the corner of Chu Xin's mouth.

The two little ones looked at each other and nodded together, "Okay, let's wait a bit longer."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you to Central State," Long Shaoyu said sincerely.

"Thank you, big brother."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen thanked him dutifully, clapping their little hands in joy, "That's great, we can finally go to Central State."

The square-faced youth and the bow-holding youth looked at each other, both seeing a hint of bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Is the gentleman really going to take these two unruly kids to Central State?

At this time, the relationship between Cangzhou and Central State isn't very friendly.

"Ai Chirou little sister, may I take a look at your map?" Long Shaoyu asked.

"Then you must give it back to me after you're done looking,"

Chu Xin hesitated before speaking.

Even though she couldn't understand the map, it was, after all, the award for clinching first place in the Lanzhou competition, and she still wanted to show it off to her mother after rescuing her.
