Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Divine Dragons must be formidable, ordinary flames definitely won't do the trick, we need to use a more powerful Holy Level Flame Talisman."

Chu Chen muttered to himself, taking out a stack of Holy Level Flame Talismans and tossing them into the box beneath the roasting rack, each Talisman bursting into scorching flames.

The Artifact Spirit elder was somewhat speechless; these were Holy Level Flame Talismans after all, priceless treasures, and this brat was actually using such a large pile of them for roasting meat, which was simply wasteful.

He couldn't help but ask, "Young friend, where did you get these Talismans?"

Chu Chen looked up at him and said in a milky voice, "Of course, they were refined by my daddy. Daddy has refined a lot and lot of them for us."

The Artifact Spirit elder was greatly surprised, "Your daddy can do sword techniques, and he is also a powerful Talisman Refining Master?"

Chu Xin didn't speak, her large round eyes were fixed on the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail on the roasting rack.

Chu Chen kept turning the Dragon Claws, sprinkling seasonings from time to time, and nodding his little head as he said, "Yeah, my daddy can do a lot. All our Magic Artifacts were refined by daddy, and my knife technique was also taught by him."

"That formidable?"

The Artifact Spirit elder's eyes shifted, asking, "Your daddy is so formidable, which major power is he from?"

"Major power?"

Chu Chen turned to look at the Artifact Spirit elder and chuckled, "Of course, it's from Roast Meat Village. We all come from Roast Meat Village. My daddy's roasting skills are also incredibly formidable; all the grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, and little brothers and sisters in the village love my daddy's roast meat. My sister and I love it too."

"Roast Meat Village?"

The Artifact Spirit elder's mouth twitched slightly, not expecting the kid to be so guarded; it was really difficult to get any information out of these two children.

Meanwhile, with the roaring burn of the Holy Level flames, the color of the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail was gradually changing, with a faint aroma beginning to spread.

"It's so fragrant, I can hardly wait."

Chu Xin, smelling the fragrance, couldn't help but gulp down her saliva incessantly; no matter how much she swallowed, she couldn't get rid of the drool completely, and it streamed down from the corner of her mouth.

The Artifact Spirit elder rubbed his forehead, feeling speechless.

This brat was really food-crazy, and in the future, if some villains were to lure her with tasty food, she might end up in big trouble.

But the aroma really did smell delicious.

He sniffed his nose, also unable to resist swallowing saliva.

"Sis, don't rush, these are Dragon Claws and Dragon Tails, we still need to roast them a bit longer, you can eat some roast Sword Beast meat in the meantime to satisfy your craving," said Chu Chen in his milky voice.

"Alright."

Chu Xin wiped the drool from her mouth, picked up some roast Sword Beast meat that was ready to eat, and started devouring it.

However, the roasted Sword Beast meat that used to taste quite delicious now seemed tasteless. Her large, round eyes were fixed on the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail on the roasting rack, repeatedly asking, "Is it ready yet?"

This was the most impatient she had been to eat roasted meat since she left Big Stone Village.

"Almost ready."

Chu Chen said while turning the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail.

It was fortunate that he was using the Holy Level Flame Talisman; the temperature of the flames was terrifyingly high. If it had been any other kind of fire, it might have taken days and nights to brown.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Chen picked up a Dragon Claw to check it, smiled, and said, "Sis, here you go, this one's ready to eat. Try it to see if it's delicious."

"Okay!"

Chu Xin cheered happily, extended her two little white hands to grab the Dragon Claw, and without any delay, began munching on it.

She gnawed on it while blowing on it; it was burning hot, but her little mouth didn't want to let go.

"Mmm! It's so tasty and chewy, much better than chicken claws," she said while eating, not holding back on her praise.

"Chicken claws?"

The Divine Sword Pool Dragon Spirit, hiding in the Divine Sword Pool, practically burst out upon hearing this.

My noble Dragon Claw, compared to a chicken claw? This is an utter disgrace.

Humph!

The Dragon Spirit looked at its continuously growing Dragon Claw, let out a pitiful dragon's whimper, and buried its dragon head into its body.

"Old grandpa, can you eat it?"

Chu Chen offered the second roasted Dragon Claw to the Artifact Spirit old man.

"Uh!"

The Artifact Spirit old man looked at the Dragon Claw, then glanced at the Divine Sword Pond, and hesitated, "The Dragon Spirit is my good friend, it doesn't seem right to eat its Dragon Claw."

"Then forget about it."

Chu Chen felt a tinge of regret as he was about to retract the Dragon Claw, but then he saw the Artifact Spirit old man snatch the Dragon Claw away.

"However, since it was a gift from it, not eating it would be disrespectful to its intentions, and it would be sad."

The Artifact Spirit old man chuckled while eating.

The Dragon Spirit in the Divine Sword Pond buried its dragon head even deeper.

"Oh!"

Chu Chen nodded but didn't say anything, continuing to roast the Dragon Claw. After it was cooked, he tossed it to the double-headed piglet, reminding it, "Little pig, eat more, grow bigger, so you'll be tastier later on."

Upon hearing this, the double-headed piglet shuddered—am I being raised as livestock? But then again, I am a pig.

If I must die, I'd rather die with a full belly.

The double-headed piglet let out a low dragon's roar and started chewing on the roasted Dragon Claw with its front hooves.

After taking only a few bites, the double-headed piglet let out a piercing scream, then lay down silently, closing both pairs of pig eyes, and remained motionless after reverting back to its original form.

"What's wrong with the little pig? Could it be that it wasn't cooked properly? That shouldn't be."

Chu Chen questioned as he flipped the last Dragon Claw.

"I don't know."

Chu Xin shook her head and continued gnawing on her own big Dragon Claw.

Compared to Chu Xin and the double-headed piglet, the Artifact Spirit old man ate much more elegantly. Glancing at the piglet, he smiled and said, "Contained within the Dragon Claw is potent Sword Qi and Dragon Power, which for any Demon Beast is both a danger and an opportunity. Failure to endure means certain death; surviving brings transformation."

"Oh!"

Chu Chen nodded.

However, Chu Xin spoke dismissively, "Such a big thing, and it can't even handle that much? I ate so much and didn't feel the Sword Qi was that formidable."

At the bottom of the Divine Sword Pond, the Dragon Spirit buried its dragon head even deeper.

Damn brat, eating my Dragon Claw and still insulting my Sword Dao, how odious.

Regrettably, it couldn't retort, for the brat's proficiency in Sword Dao was indeed superior to its own.

The Artifact Spirit old man couldn't help but roll his eyes up too and said nothing, solely focused on devouring the Dragon Claw.

"Finally done."

Chu Chen picked up the last well-roasted Dragon Claw and began to feast on it, marveling while he chewed, "This really is much tastier than chicken claws."

The Dragon Spirit's head was almost buried to the not yet fully grown Dragon Tail.

After exhausting the Sword Qi and Dragon Power within it, the double-headed piglet glanced at the three eaters, gnawed on the Dragon Claw a few more times, and then fell back into a regenerative slumber.

By the time it finished the Dragon Claw, Chu Xin, Chu Chen, and the Artifact Spirit old man were already feasting on the Dragon Tail.

The double-headed piglet's four hooves had transformed into four Dragon Claws at this time.

Now possessing dragon horns and Dragon Claws, a pig's head, body, and tail, its strength made another breakthrough, reaching the Seventh Rank Late Stage.

"Little pig, have some more Dragon Tail."

Chu Chen threw a section of the Dragon Tail reserved for the double-headed piglet which bit into it immediately, the two heads sharing it. Once finished, it once again fell into a deep slumber.

When it awoke from its slumber, its stubby pig tail had morphed into a long and powerful Dragon Tail, and its strength had improved again, although not reaching the Seventh Rank Peak. Conversely, its size had increased many times over.
