Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Just then, Long Shaoyu and the others gradually awoke.

"How did I suddenly fall asleep?"

The young archer rubbed his head, his face full of bewilderment and confusion.

"Strange, I am after all a Peak Martial Venerate, how could I just fall asleep without any signs?"

The square-faced youth was also filled with confusion.

Only Long Shaoyu's eyes were somewhat somber; he knew very well that they hadn't just fallen asleep; rather they had been rendered unconscious by some powerful entity.

This unknown powerhouse was too strong, so formidable that they knocked them out without the young Sword Saint even noticing.

He looked around and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

That's right, this is indeed Divine Sword Mountain, but where did the Divine Sword Pavilion go?

Even if the Divine Sword Fruit was picked and the time for the Divine Sword Pavilion to open had passed, it would just close its doors and reactivate the Guardian Formation, not vanish altogether.

What actually happened during the time they were unconscious?

"Ah! Big brother, you finally woke up."

Chu Xin, who was getting annoyed, saw Long Shaoyu and the others wake up and immediately forgot about the Divine Sword Pavilion, hopping in front of Long Shaoyu and said regretfully, "Big brother, you woke up too late, you missed the roasted Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail."

"Roasted Dragon Claw?"

"Roasted Dragon Tail?"

The square-faced youth and the young archer exclaimed in surprise.

Long Shaoyu also asked in astonishment, "You slaughtered the Divine Dragon in the Divine Sword Pond?"

"No, no, we just chopped off its four Dragon Claws and one Dragon Tail, we didn't slaughter it." Chu Chen quickly waved his hands and shook his head.

Chopped off the Dragon Claws and Dragon Tail?

All three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths, these two kids were too ruthless, not even sparing the Divine Dragon.

"What a pity, grandpa said we couldn't chop off the Dragon Head because chopping it would kill the big dragon. Otherwise, we could have tasted the roasted Dragon Head too." Chu Xin licked her lips, her face full of longing.

"Wait, you ate all the Dragon Claws and Dragon Tail?" Long Shaoyu asked.

"Yes." Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison.

Long Shaoyu, on the verge of tears, asked, "Then why didn't you call us?"

Those were Dragon Claws and Dragon Tail, chopped from the Divine Dragon of the Divine Sword Pond, they contained energy and Sword Qi nearly as potent as the Divine Sword Fruit.

Eating them, they might have broken through their limits. Explore hidden tales at empire

What a waste, such a pity.

Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes as if she had been too happy eating earlier and had forgotten about this matter.

But naturally, she couldn't admit to this, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "Big brother, you were sleeping like a dead pig, we couldn't wake you up no matter how much we tried."

"Uh!"

Just then, Long Shaoyu regained his senses and asked in puzzlement, "So you two have been fine all along?"

"Yep."

Chu Chen nodded his little head and said, "Big brother, you fell asleep while talking."

After pondering for a moment, Long Shaoyu asked, "Who is this grandpa you mentioned? Where is he?"

"Grandpa, well, he said he was the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Sword Pavilion?" Chu Chen scratched his head, somewhat unsure as he spoke.

"Silly brother, it's Artifact Spirit, not spirit artifact." Chu Xin patted Chu Chen's head and corrected him with a babyish tone.

"Is it Artifact Spirit? Then maybe I remembered it wrong," Chu Chen chuckled.

"The Artifact Spirit of the Divine Sword Pavilion?"

Long Shaoyu's body shook; no wonder it managed to knock him out without a sound.

According to the ancient texts at home, the Secret Realm is a fragment of the Ancient Divine Realm, and the ruins remaining within this Secret Realm naturally belong to powers from the Ancient Divine Realm. This Divine Sword Pavilion is likely an Ancient Divine Artifact.

Within the Divine Artifact, it was normal to be knocked unconscious by the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Artifact.

"Where has the Divine Sword Pavilion gone?"

Long Shaoyu looked at the original location of the Divine Sword Pavilion and asked with confusion.

"The Divine Sword Pavilion... uh oh!" Chu Chen began to speak but was silenced by Chu Xin covering his mouth.

Chu Xin turned back to Long Shaoyu, shook her little head, and said, "I don't know, it just swooshed and disappeared, we also don't know where it went."

In her view, admitting they had been tricked by the old man was embarrassing, so it was better never to speak of it.

"Is that so."

Long Shaoyu naturally knew these mischievous kids were hiding something but didn't press any further.

"Yes, exactly like that."

Chu Xin nodded vigorously, then whispered a warning in Chu Chen's ear, "Dumb brother, if you dare spill that we were tricked, I'll spank your butt off."

Chu Chen, covering his own small bottom, nodded repeatedly, "Uh-huh! I won't tell for sure."

"Big brother, you didn't get to eat the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail, I'll have my brother grill some Sword Beast for you."

Chu Xin released the small hand covering Chu Chen's mouth, said cheerily, and then gave Chu Chen's bottom a kick.

"Ah! Right, right, right, I'll grill Sword Beast for big brother."

Chu Chen waved his chubby little hands and took out three frozen Sword Beasts. Once thawed, the Sword Beasts started jumping around lively and even attempted to attack Chu Chen, who slapped one dead with a palm strike.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen together processed the Sword Beast meat.

Memories of their previous squabble over the Divine Sword Fruit flashed through Long Shaoyu's mind, prompting him to ask instinctively, "Ai Kaorou, little brother, you didn't happen to freeze all the Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pond, did you?"

After he asked, he shook his head, dismissing the idea.

That was simply implausible. Those Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pond were strong, and with the Sword Qi mist above the pond that suppressed visibility and consciousness, it was nearly impossible to capture all the Sword Beasts there.

"Actually, yes."

However, Chu Chen casually nodded.

Chu Xin also said with a giggly smile, "Sword Beast meat is really tasty. Since we won't be able to eat it once we leave the Divine Sword Pavilion, we emptied the Divine Sword Pond and froze all the Sword Beasts to store in the Sumeru Ring, then released the water from the pond. This way, we won't have to worry about running out of Sword Beast meat in the future."

"That's... very mischievous."

The square-faced youth and the bow-carrying youth were both stunned, struggling for words.

They had been wondering why there were no Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pond at all, only to learn that these two rascals had caught them all and frozen them for food.

Long Shaoyu rubbed his forehead, bewildered by the actions of the two mischievous kids, and was silent for a long while, not knowing what to say.

He decided to pull out several maps to piece together, paying close attention as he studied them.

He definitely planned to visit Divine Saber Valley, hoping to use these two mischievous kids to seize more complete maps of the secret realms.

Of course, his goal was not to seek the teleportation portal of Central State, but to find the biggest opportunity within the entire Jiuzhou Secret Realm.

Unfortunately, among these four maps, there was no clue about the location of that greatest opportunity.

"Big brother, the meat is ready,"

just then, Chu Chen's childlike voice called out.

Long Shaoyu put away the maps and took a bite of the grilled meat, his eyes immediately lighting up.

This Sword Beast meat was indeed much tastier than the average Demon Beast meat, no wonder these two mischievous kids went through all the trouble to capture all the Sword Beasts in the Divine Sword Pond.

After enjoying the grilled meat, Long Shaoyu stood up and said, "Let's go to Divine Saber Valley."

"Okay!"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded their heads and followed Long Shaoyu, riding on the fully recovered Two-headed Fire Dragon.

Looking at the Two-headed Fire Dragon's horns, claws, and tail, they felt another wave of melancholy.

Even a Demon Beast had feasted on Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail, gaining immense opportunities, yet they hadn't tasted them even once—such majestic Heavenly Prides from Jiuzhou living a lesser life than a mere beast.
