Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 191 Long Yurou: Who is secretly helping me?

"The State Mansion of the seventh governor was obliterated?"

"It was done by order of the young Empress? What emboldened her?"

"Could it be that the Empress has received support from the other four major Holy Lands?"

The other Six State Governors and the Martial Emperors had also heard what the cultivator said, and they couldn't help but secretly transmit messages to discuss among themselves.

With the Martial God about to ascend, the Ten Great Holy Lands of Jiuzhou naturally began to stir.

Cangzhou had the support of four Holy Lands, the royal family had the support of two, and another four maintained neutrality.

Originally, the combined strength of the Seven States would certainly far exceed that of the royal family; it was unlikely for the Empress to dare to attack their stronghold.

The only explanation for the Empress to confront them so boldly was probably that she had gained the support of those four neutral Holy Lands.

However, such crucial intelligence, why had they not received any news beforehand?

"We should return and check our own strongholds to prevent them from being secretly attacked,"

one State Governor suggested.

"Alright!"

The crowd unanimously agreed, and then they all shattered the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The four Martial Emperors at the Imperial Palace looked astounded, turning to glance at the Empress's sleeping quarters, secretly admiring her.

"Indeed, Her Majesty had already prepared a strategy. By detaining the State Governors of Cangzhou in the Imperial Palace and secretly sending people to attack their strongholds, and to snatch their treasures, this move was truly brilliant."

"The key is, although they can guess it was Her Majesty's doing, they have no evidence, nor dare they react rashly."

"Stop speculating for now, send someone to inform Her Majesty that the State Governors of Cangzhou have left."

The four Martial Emperors shook their heads and turned to leave.

"Gone?"

In the sleeping quarters, Long Yurou was also baffled upon receiving the news. She hadn't sent anyone to attack their strongholds. Who dared to attack Cangzhou Prefecture? However, whoever it was had indirectly helped her out of a crisis. If possible, she should send someone to win them over.

Thinking this, she ordered, "Someone, send people to Cangzhou to investigate. Find out who attacked Cangzhou Prefecture, offer a significant treasure, and make certain to invite them to the Imperial City."

"Yes!"

Someone responded from the shadows, unseen.

Meanwhile, outside the Cang Mountain Demon Valley in Cangzhou, Chu Fengling looked over at two Martial Emperors who were attacking the Magic Array Barrier. He set down Chu Xin and Chu Chen, advising them, "I don't have much time left. This ancient Guardian Formation's barrier is strongly defensive. I'll join the other two Martial Emperors in attacking the Magic Array Barrier soon. After that, I will hold off those two Martial Emperors, and you must sneak in to snatch the treasures and run."

"Understood, Father." Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded simultaneously.

Chu Fengling glanced at them both, then broke through the air, "Fellow Daoists, I am here to lend you a hand."

Soon after, terrifying thumping sounds erupted.

"Go, follow the tunnel and crawl through."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen entered the previously dug tunnel, returning to the front of the Magic Array Barrier, sitting down one after another, drinking Beast Milk while waiting for the barrier to shatter.

On the ground, booming sounds continued to emit, the collective power of three Martial Emperors proving insufficient to break the Magic Array Barrier for the moment, showcasing its extraordinary power.

With nothing else to do, Chu Chen took out the Sumeru Ring from the Second Supreme Elder, inspecting the treasures inside one by one — there were over a dozen Holy Artifacts and about a dozen Holy Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the others being below Holy Grade and not considered very valuable moments.

The low-grade Ancient Mysterious Realm Token seemed nothing special; the siblings glanced at it and then stored it away.

"All these junk items, and they were actually hidden away as treasures,"

Chu Chen muttered under his breath as he inspected them.

Chu Xin also nodded, her big round eyes filled with disdain.

"However, these three fruits are worth trying; these ginsengs and lotus seeds can be used to make soup."

Chu Chen quickly decided on the uses for the Holy Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, while the Two-headed Fire Dragon sighed silently beside them. These were Holy Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, coveted by many powers and cultivators, yet to these two little demons, they were merely ingredients for soup.

"Sister, let's try the fruits first."

Chu Chen handed a fruit to Chu Xin, then looked at the Two-headed Fire Dragon, and asked, "Little pig, will you eat?"

Ney!

The two-headed piglet nodded repeatedly, recognizing the fruit as a Holy Grade Zhu fruit, containing the power of the Fire Element Law, a treasure for cultivators of the Fire Element. Naturally, consuming this Holy Grade Zhu fruit could advance its own Fire Element Law even further.

"Go ahead and eat."

Chu Chen was not stingy at all and tossed the Holy Grade Zhu fruit to the Two-headed Fire Dragon.

In his eyes, the Holy Grade Zhu fruit was just a fruit.

"The taste is not bad."

Chu Xin nibbled on the Zhu fruit, nodding her little head in admiration.

"It's just kind of spicy."

When Chu Chen took a bite, the Zhu fruit unexpectedly turned into a ball of flames burning in his mouth, which most people could not withstand.

Whine!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon let out a painful dragon whine as flames blazed on its body.

"Is it really necessary to react so much just for a fruit?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen turned their heads in unison to look at it, their eyes filled with disdain and confusion.

Eating a fruit?

It sounded as if it were just any common fruit, but this was the Holy Grade Zhu fruit.

The Two-headed Fire Dragon was speechless and somewhat regretful inside, realizing it had underestimated the power of the Flame Law contained in the Holy Grade Zhu fruit.

Fortunately, it was now a peak Seventh Rank Demon Beast so this pain did not last long. It quickly refined the energy of the Holy Grade Zhu fruit, significantly improving its power of the Flame Law.

It looked up at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who appeared nonchalant, and secretly marveled at how these two little demons managed to remain so calm.

"These treasures are not really useful."

After finishing the fruit, Chu Chen looked at the weapons and magic treasures with disappointment in his tone.

"They're not completely useless. When we get back, we can give them to the uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters in the village," Chu Xin spoke up.

"That's true."

Chu Chen nodded his head.

Whine!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon let out a soft dragon whine.

Chu Chen turned his head towards it and asked doubtfully, "Little pig, do you want them?"

Whine!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon nodded repeatedly, its two pig heads turning towards a Holy Blade and a Holy Sword respectively.

It possessed the powers of the Blade, Sword, Thunder, and Fire Elements. Since the Holy Artifacts in Chu Chen's hands happened to include a Holy Blade and a Holy Sword, and they were of no use to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, it wanted to refine these two Holy Artifacts for itself to greatly enhance its own strength.

Demon Beasts could refine magic treasures too, but normally, they did not get the chance since no cultivators would willingly create magic treasures for Demon Beasts and the beasts themselves didn't know how to do so.

Only Demon Tamers would create magic treasures for their controlled beasts.

"You want this?"

Following the gaze of the Two-headed Fire Dragon, Chu Chen picked up the Holy Blade and Holy Sword and asked.

Whine!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon nodded repeatedly, its narrow pig eyes filled with expectation.

"Then they are yours."

Chu Chen's chubby little hand waved, and he tossed the two Holy Artifacts over. The two-headed pig opened its mouths and swallowed the Holy Blade and Holy Sword respectively, slowly refining them.

Bang!

Just then, fine cracks finally appeared on the Barrier, and moments later, it shattered completely.

"The Barrier is broken, start digging!"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen cheered, leapt up, put away their milk bottles, took out their Treasure Digging Shovels, and started to dig rapidly with their little butts in the air. The two-headed piglet also paused its refining of the Holy Artifacts, swinging its little front paws to dig through the soil.
