Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"This Detoxification Pill..."

The white-haired crone looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen in shock, but had no time to speak, she quickly circulated her cultivation method to guide the medicinal power of the Detoxification Pill as it flowed with her blood throughout her body.

Wherever the medicinal power reached, the snake poison that clung to her bones like maggots seemed to meet its natural predator and dispersed into nothingness.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, exclaiming with joy, "The snake poison in my body has really been cured."

"That's great."

Long Yufei was overjoyed, picked up Chu Xin, and kissed her delicate little face, "Ai Chirou, you truly are my lucky star."

Chu Xin wiped the saliva from her face, saying with a disgusted expression, "Auntie, don't spit on my face."

Chu Chen, who was standing to the side, felt secretly relieved that his auntie hadn't 'spat' on his face as well.

"Haha!"

Long Yufei and the others couldn't help but laugh at the cute expressions of the two children.

"Ai Chirou, did you make this Detoxification Pill?"

Seeing her master settle back into meditating, Long Yufei, in high spirits, hugged Chu Xin and asked curiously.

"No, it was Daddy who made it."

Chu Xin blinked her round eyes, saying with a giggly smile, "I have a lot, a lot more. If Auntie is poisoned in the future, I will help cure Auntie too."

Long Yufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, silently chanting to herself 'children will say anything,' and patted Chu Xin's little head, "Thank you for the Detoxification Pill, Ai Chirou, you've really helped me out a lot."

"No need to thank me, Auntie, Daddy said, 'Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-level pagoda,'" Chu Xin said, waving her little white hand with a nonchalant expression.

A seven-level pagoda?

Everyone at Long Yufei's side was baffled.

"Sister, it's 'seven-level butcher,'" Chu Chen tugged on Chu Xin's ponytail and whispered a correction.

"A seven-level butcher?"

Chu Xin tilted her head, puzzled.

"Definitely, seven-level is much more impressive than five-level," Chu Chen said with certainty.

"Okay then, it's a seven-level butcher."

Chu Xin nodded in agreement.

A seven-level butcher?

It should be a 'seven-level pagoda.'

A female guard couldn't help but laugh out loud; this brother and sister pair were just too adorable.

By this time, the white-haired crone had finished her meditative breathing and thanked Chu Xin with a fist and palm salute, "Thank you, young friend, for your Detoxification Pill. If you ever need anything in the future, I shall do my best to fulfill it."

"Grandma, there's no need for formalities, Daddy said that helping the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled is a virtue," Chu Xin said with an innocent face.

The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched slightly; she never thought that one day she, a Martial Saint, would be categorized as the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

But she didn't take issue with a three-year-old girl. Instead, she asked out of curiosity, "This Detoxification Pill can cure a Martial Saint Level snake poison; it must be a Holy Grade elixir. Could your father be a Pill Saint from the Pill Sect?"

Pill Saint?

An alchemist of such level would be treated as an honored guest wherever they went.

To think that the father of these two children would have such an incredible background.

"No, Daddy has always lived in our village and never left except for this time," Chu Xin shook her head. She did not know that Chu Feng had traveled across all of Jiuzhou to purify their meridians and marrow, plus they were too young at the time and had few memories.

Not from an Alchemy Sect? Could it be a Loose Cultivator who has become a Pill Saint?

For a Loose Cultivator to become a Pill Saint, their talent must be somewhat terrifying.

The old crone took a deep look at the siblings. Not only were their natural talents abnormal, but they also had a father with equally abnormal talent, who was also a Pill Saint. They were figures to befriend, not offend.

However, now was not the time to think about that. She had more important matters to attend to. She stood up, looked around at the female guards, and said, "To avoid the power of Lanzhou, we did not travel here through a Transmission Array. Instead, several Martial Emperors opened a passage for us, bringing us to the border of Lanzhou. This was meant to be secretive; the powers of Lanzhou could not possibly know. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that there is a traitor among you."

As soon as these words came out, the female guards' complexions changed drastically. They knelt on the deck of the Flying Boat and said urgently, "Pavilion Master, your insight is keen. We, as disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, have been guarding the imperial family for generations. How could we dare to betray it?"

Long Yufei's face darkened. He had already had such suspicions, but he just couldn't bring himself to believe it.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion was tasked with safeguarding the imperial family. If even the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was infiltrated by those with ulterior motives, then the Empire would be in danger.

"I also do not wish to believe it, but for Yu Fei's safety, there are some things I must do," the old woman said.

After a moment of hesitation, she said gravely, "I shall use the Divine Search Technique on you. The traitor will be torn to pieces and their family exterminated. For those who did not betray us, your clans will receive full support from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the female guards changed dramatically.

Once the Divine Search Technique was cast, they would all turn into idiots.

Even Long Yufei's expression changed as he said, "Master, how can we harm the other loyal individuals for the sake of one traitor?

"Disciple, we do not have the time to slowly weed out the traitor. If I am not wrong, she has already revealed our whereabouts, and the old beasts from the Myriad Beasts Sect might catch up to us very soon. If it were just him alone, it wouldn't matter much. But if a few more from the Martial Arts Sect or Martial Venerates come, then escaping would become difficult." The old woman sighed softly as she spoke.

Long Yufei thought for a moment and then said, "How about letting them pilot the Flying Boat while Master and I take another path?"

The old crone shook her head and said, "I could not even detect the means by which she conveyed the information. No one can guarantee that she did not leave some sort of mark on you."

"This—" Long Yufei found himself at a loss for words.

"Aunty, is this Divine Search Technique very powerful?" Chu Xin tugged at Long Yufei's sleeve, looking up with her little head tilted in curiosity.

Long Yufei explained, "The Divine Search Technique, as the name implies, is capable of searching through someone's soul memories. But the technique has a flaw; those subjected to it will turn into idiots."

"What's an idiot?"

Chu Chen asked puzzledly.

"An idiot is someone who sleeps all the time and never wakes up," Long Yufei explained.

"That's so pitiful."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately showed a look of sympathy, glancing at the old woman with a bit of fear in their eyes.

Thinking about themselves being subjected to this Divine Search Technique and never being able to eat barbecue again was terrifying.

"For the sake of the State Governor, we are willing to undergo the Divine Search Technique," the female guards said one after another.

"Good."

The old woman sighed faintly, wishing that she did not have to resort to the Divine Search Technique.

"If only we had a Truth Talisman from the Talisman Sect, it would allow them to speak the truth on their own," Long Yufei said with reluctance as he closed his eyes and murmured. It was a pity that the Talisman Sect was not in Lanzhou.

"Speak the truth?"

Chu Chen's eyes lit up as he raised his chubby little hand and said, "I have a talisman that can make people tell the truth."

"Ai Kaorou, you have a Truth Talisman?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yufei quickly asked.

The old woman, who was ready to use the Divine Search Technique, also stopped and turned to look at Chu Chen.

"Truth Talisman? I don't know what a Truth Talisman is, but my talisman truly can make people tell the truth," said Chu Chen as he took out a stack of talismans and said with a boasting tone, "This was specially created by Daddy because he was afraid that someone might deceive us."
