Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Long Shaoyu offered a faint smile and said, "As I've said, I'm not going to deceive you."

"Mm-hmm!"

Chu Xin nodded repeatedly, urging impatiently, "Big brother, let's hurry, or others might snatch the fruits away."

"There's no rush! The Divine Sword Fruits aren't so easy to find."

Shaking his head, Long Shaoyu took out a mask from the Sumeru Ring and put it on his face, laughing as he said, "This trip to Divine Sword Mountain isn't just to snatch the Divine Sword Fruits, but also to steal other people's maps. We must disguise our identities so we're not discovered. Otherwise, even if we manage to grab them, it will be difficult to escape with them."

"What an ugly mask."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen said in unison, their eyes full of disdain.

The mask Long Shaoyu wore resembled a Ghost King, eager to devour any passerby, and it was far less exquisite compared to the siblings' dragon and phoenix masks.

"As long as it can block the probing of intent, it's good enough."

Long Shaoyu chuckled, unconcerned.

The square-faced youth and the bow-carrying youth also took out their masks and donned them; if Long Shaoyu's mask was that of a Ghost King, then theirs were little imps.

"Your masks are even uglier."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen critiqued mercilessly.

The two couldn't help but roll their eyes, thinking to themselves that children's words carried no harm.

"Let's go!"

Long Shaoyu and the others took to the sky once again.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen mounted their twin-headed fire swine king, quickly following on trails of fire clouds.

Soon, the group appeared at the summit of Divine Sword Mountain.

From a distance, the mountaintop seemed to be the tip of a sword, apparently very narrow.

But upon reaching it, they discovered that the space was actually vast, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands without any issues.

In the center stood an ancient pavilion imbued with a nameless power, its horizontal beams inscribed with three large characters flickering with runes.

"Divine Sword Pavilion!"

By now, many Heavenly Prides had gathered outside the Divine Sword Pavilion, and most of them were Sword Cultivators. Even those who were not Sword Cultivators were helpers invited by these Sword Cultivators.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen also spotted Qin Tian, the number one Heavenly Pride of Domineering Sword Sect from Lanzhou, Fu Yunxiao, the number one Heavenly Pride of the Demon Saber Sect, and Black Tiger, the number one Heavenly Pride of Myriad Beasts Sect.

Previously, the siblings were interested in Myriad Beasts Sect disciples because they had Pet Beasts they could eat, but now they had the twin-headed fire swine king and naturally didn't care about Black Tiger's big cats anymore.

Qin Tian and his company also noticed Chu Xin and Chu Chen; after all, among all the Heavenly Prides across Jiuzhou, only these two were such exceptional wild children.

"It's over, these two wild kids have come too."

Qin Tian rubbed his forehead, looking distressed.

Naturally, all the Heavenly Prides here came for the Divine Sword Fruit, an exceptional treasure that offered a chance to forge a Divine Sword Body.

Even if one could not forge a Divine Sword Body, the Sword Intent and Sword Energy contained within the Divine Sword Fruit were enough to cause rapid progress in the Sword Dao.

For a Sword Cultivator, the Divine Sword Fruit was the ultimate treasure.

He knew that his strength was far behind the top Heavenly Prides from the other eight states, which is why he had invited Fu Yunxiao from Demon Saber Sect and Black Tiger from Myriad Beasts Sect to join forces.

Because of the map, not many of the Heaven's Chosen who have found Divine Sword Mountain, and they have a great chance of seizing the Divine Sword Fruit.

Who would have thought that Ai Chirou and Ai Kaorou, these two unruly kids, would actually come as well, then his chances of getting his hands on the Divine Sword Fruit are not high.

"Don't worry, the arrival of these two troublemakers might be a good thing."

Fu Yunxiao whispered, "As far as I'm aware, once the Divine Sword Fruit matures, there will be anomalies between heaven and earth that appear. By then, even more powerful sword cultivators will come to compete. Later on, we can hide ourselves near the Divine Sword Pond and make our move to take the Divine Sword Fruit while these kids are busy with the competition; the chance of success might even be greater."

"Correct! Brother Fu's words make perfect sense." The Black Tiger from the Myriad Beasts Sect nodded in agreement.

"Great!"

Qin Tian's eyes lit up, and hope was rekindled in his heart.

"Is that a Dual-headed Fire Pig King? That's a demon beast at the peak of the Sixth Rank, and it's being used as a mount by those two little brats?"

"Judging by their height, they're only three or four years old. How can ones so young enter the Jiuzhou Secret Realm? Could they have gotten in through the back door?"

"Are you stupid? Who would send their inadequately cultivated juniors into this Secret Realm? Isn't that courting death? I think maybe they got a wicked stepmother who, wanting to secure the position for her own kids, deliberately sent these troublemakers here to die. And have you seen those three people who came with the kids not stopping them? Maybe they're sent by the stepmother to ensure the demise of these troublemakers."

"Makes sense."

The gathered Heaven's Chosen had already started to concoct stories about Chu Xin and Chu Chen's origins and identities, and sympathy unconsciously filled their eyes.

Qin Tian, Fu Yunxiao, Black Tiger, and Long Shaoyu's lips twitched slightly.

These guys are actually looking down on those two troublemakers, they'll get what's coming to them.

"Big brother, where is the Divine Sword Fruit?"

Chu Chen wiggled his little head, looking around. Not seeing any edible things, he asked with some confusion.

Long Shaoyu, smiling, pointed at the tightly shut doors of the Divine Sword Pavilion and said, "Inside the Divine Sword Pavilion. We need to wait for the doors to open before we can go in."

Chu Chen looked at the Divine Sword Pavilion and then pointed at the sky, asking, "Can't we just fly in from above?"

"You can't, there's an Array Prohibition above; it's inaccessible."

Long Shaoyu shook his head, then looked at them quizzically and asked, "Didn't your father tell you about this?"

In his view, each generation's Heaven's Chosen from the major forces would normally enter the Jiuzhou Secret Realm, and there would naturally be records about the opportunities within the Secret Realm.

What he knew had been relayed by his father, and of course, some of it was found in his family's library.

"It doesn't seem to have been mentioned."

Chu Chen tilted his head, thought for a moment, shook it, then tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve and asked uncertainly, "Sister, Father didn't mention it, right? Sister?"

After waiting for a while without getting a response, Chu Chen looked puzzledly at Chu Xin, only to see her staring blankly at the three characters of the Divine Sword Pavilion and couldn't help but wonder, "What's so interesting about those three characters?"

Chu Xin snapped back to her senses, glanced at Chu Chen, and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't you think the runes in those characters look familiar?"

Chu Chen scrutinized them again, nodded, and said with furrowed brows, "They do seem familiar, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."

Chu Xin leaned close to Chu Chen's ear and whispered, "Don't those runes look like the Divine Runes inside our bodies?"

Chu Chen took another look and his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, "Indeed, this is the first time I've come across runes that are the same as the Divine Runes inside us."

Hope flickered in Chu Xin's round eyes as she said, "Brother, if I eat those three big characters, do you think I'll become even more powerful?"

"Eat?"

Chu Chen paused for a moment, then, with a look of admiration, said, "Sister, you're so clever, I never thought that those big characters could be eaten. Come on, let's pry them out and eat them."
