Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

The white-haired old woman scrutinized Chu Xin, her aged eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this little girl possess such a terrifying Sword Intent with not a ripple of True Qi or even a hint of Sword Qi on her?

That Sword Intent was strong enough to pressure even her.

It must be a mistake made by the disciple, such a fearsome Sword Intent could not possibly appear in a three-year-old girl.

After taking another look at Chu Xin, who was incessantly arguing with her brother Chu Chen over their height difference, the old woman became even more convinced of her thoughts.

She turned to Long Yufei and asked, "The old beast who tried to stop me said he had sent his outstanding disciple, Blood Wolf, to hunt you down. Now it seems that the old beast was just trying to disturb my mind."

After speaking, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her aura greatly diminished.

"Master, are you injured?"

Long Yufei was shocked and hurriedly went to support the white-haired old woman, while the other female guards also approached, faces full of concern.

"It's nothing!"

The white-haired old woman waved her hand and forced a smile.

She had been an equal match for that old beast from the Myriad Beasts Sect, but the news that Blood Wolf was hunting her disciples had thrown her into chaos, and she was caught by a sneak attack.

Using the momentum of the attack, she took the chance to flee and caught up with Long Yufei and the others.

Upon arrival, she felt that terrifying Sword Intent and had to desperately suppress her injuries to avoid exposing any weaknesses to the enemy.

But now, she couldn't hold it back any longer.

"We must leave this place quickly!"

The white-haired old woman waved her hand, summoning a model of a Flying Boat that expanded in the wind, quickly transforming into a vessel over thirty feet long, and beckoned everyone to jump aboard.

"Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, you two get on as well," Long Yufei called out to Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

Ai Chirou? Ai Kaorou? What peculiar names.

"Okay, Aunt," said the two adorable children, nodding their heads and leaping lightly, landing steadily on the Flying Boat.

Surprised, the white-haired old woman gave the two children a second glance. At just three years old, they could jump over ten feet high with just their physical bodies—a sign of innate divine power.

She wondered about their bone structure; if it was excellent, she could consider taking them as disciples and cultivating them with dedication. In the future, they would certainly become great talents.

But now was not the time to think about these matters. Her True Qi surged within her, and the Flying Boat turned into a streak of light and vanished in an instant.

Shortly after the vanishing of the Flying Boat, a green-haired elder appeared out of thin air, his brow furrowing as he observed the scattered bones.

"Sect Master!"

At that moment, a figure burst forth from the depths of the dense forest, landing on his knees with a thud, a man in his twenties. Yet, he wailed like a child, "Sect Master, you must avenge my Blood Wolf."

"What happened?"

The green-haired elder asked in a deep voice.

With teeth clenched in anger and a face filled with fear, the man said, "All the Blood Wolves have been killed. It would have been one thing if they were just killed. But, they—they were skinned and cut into pieces to be roasted and eaten. Those two kids are just too brutal."

"Brats?"

The green-haired elder's brow furrowed again. "To kill all your Blood Wolves, they must be quite powerful. Can you tell which faction's Heavenly Pride they are? Could it be those accompanying the new arrival, Long Yufei, from Central State?"

"I don't know where they came from; they looked about three years old, but their strength was terrifyingly extreme. One punch per Blood Wolf—utterly brutal." The man trembled as he spoke.

Fortunately, he had hidden far enough away not to be discovered, or else his frail body wouldn't have withstood a single punch from those kids.

He couldn't be sure whether after killing him, those kids wouldn't roast him to eat as well.

In his thirty years of life, he had seen countless heavenly prodigies and demons but had never encountered such brutally violent kids. It was too frightening.

"Three years old?"

The green-haired elder was astounded, turning his head to look at the man and said in a serious tone, "Blood Wolf, do you realize what you're saying? Even without undergoing Blood Transformation, your Blood Wolves are Fourth Rank Demon Beasts, comparable to a Martial Emperor. Even the most heaven-defying prodigy couldn't possess the cultivation of a Martial Emperor at three years old."

"Sect Master, I swear it's the truth, they were about three years old," the man insisted earnestly. "Moreover, even the two Blood Wolves that succeeded in undergoing Blood Transformation were slapped to death by those kids."

"After a Blood Transformation, they would be comparable to Fifth Rank Demon Beasts, equivalent to a Martial Arts Sect. Killed by a slap from two three-year-old children? Do you take me for a toddler?"

The green-haired elder thought the man was deceiving him. This was utterly absurd. A green snake slithered out from his chest and circled the man, its large head facing him and its forked tongue flickering menacingly.

"Sect Master, every word I say is true, I wouldn't dare to deceive you," the man said, white as a sheet and trembling on the ground.

The green-haired elder was about to say something when he suddenly reached into the air and grabbed at something. A bird made of condensed True Qi appeared in his hand. The little bird's beak opened and closed as if it were saying something, but without a single sound coming through.

However, after listening, the green-haired elder's face revealed a hint of shock and killing intent. He looked down at the man and said, "For now, I will choose to believe your words. You have failed your mission, and by rights, you should be killed. Considering the contributions you've made to the sect, I'll spare your life today. Within seven days, find another Pet Beast and join Black Tiger for the Lanzhou grand competition."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The man hurriedly responded.

The green-haired elder soared into the sky, pursuing the direction in which the Flying Boat had disappeared.

The True Qi bird not only provided him with the direction of the Flying Boat's flight, but it also mentioned those two three-year-old children.

With such rare talents, if he could capture them and nurture them, they would surely bring great prestige to the Myriad Beasts Sect across Jiuzhou one day.

As for that old woman, having been poisoned by his serpent venom, she wouldn't stand a chance against him.

The man slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, relieved to have survived.

Meanwhile, on the Flying Boat, a white-haired old crone was sitting in meditation to heal her wounds when suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Master, have you been poisoned?"

Long Yufei was greatly startled, her face full of anxiety.

"It's nothing!"

The white-haired old crone dismissed her concern with a wave of her hand, but inwardly, she sighed slightly.

The serpent venom had already spread through the blood to her entire body, infiltrating her organs, making it difficult to suppress.

She feared that this time, she might truly die in Lanzhou.

"It's good that you're alright."

Long Yufei, thinking everything was fine, let out a sigh of relief.

"Granny is going to die soon."

But just then, a childish voice with a trace of milkiness rang out.

"What?"

Long Yufei turned her head, only to see Chu Xin looking at the white-haired old crone with certainty.

"That's right, the poison has reached the organs, she's really going to die soon."

Chu Chen also nodded emphatically, the twin buns on his head and his chubby cheeks trembling constantly.

The white-haired old crone's body shook. She hadn't expected the children to see through the poison in her body at a glance.

"Master, is what they're saying true?"

Long Yufei turned again to the white-haired old crone, asking worriedly.

The white-haired old crone sighed and said, "They're not wrong. That old beast's snake venom is indeed powerful. Fei'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore."

"No, it can't be true."

Long Yufei shook her head repeatedly as tears began to stream down her face.

"Auntie, don't cry. With me and my brother here, Granny won't die."

Chu Xin patted her small chest confidently.

"Right, we can cure Granny's poison," Chu Chen added, nodding continuously.

"Ai Chirou, can you really save my master?"

Long Yufei, grasping at straws, held Chu Xin and Chu Chen by the shoulders, looking at them with hope.

"Fei'er, let it be."

The white-haired old crone shook her head. After all, how could two three-year-old children cure a Martial Saint level poison?

"Auntie, have Granny eat this Detoxification Pill. Whatever the poison is, it can be cured."

Chu Xin took a small Jade Bottle out of the Sumeru Ring and handed it to Long Yufei.

Long Yufei hurriedly took the Jade Bottle, poured out a white Elixir, and extended it towards the white-haired old crone, saying, "Master, quickly eat this."

Without the means to question the efficacy of the Detoxification Pill, she had no other option at hand.

Seeing Long Yufei's urgent expression, the white-haired old crone sighed lightly, took the Detoxification Pill and swallowed it, with no hope in her heart, but unwilling to reject her disciple.

Huh?

Suddenly, the white-haired old crone froze, a look of astonishment appearing on her face.
