Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Roar!

After its resurrection, the Double-headed Fire Swine King raised its two heads and let out a thunderous roar, its strength now even greater than before.

"The big pig didn't die, it's really alive again, that's great."

Chu Xin cheered and with open arms, rushed to embrace the Double-headed Fire Swine King.

However, the Double-headed Fire Swine King paid her no attention, instead turning its gaze towards Chu Chen's position, upon seeing its carefully nurtured grass being plucked, its four pig eyes instantly turned blood red, and a terrifying fierce aura spread out.

Raising its two sturdy front hooves, it stamped down furiously upon the ground.

Crack!

Fine cracks rapidly spread, eventually splitting open into chasms that seemed bottomless.

Hum!

Intense heat began to rise from the fissures, and moments later, strands of terrifying magma spurted out along the cracks.

These streams of magma carried whispers of the Flame Law within them, and under the control of the Double-headed Fire Swine King, they began to spread throughout the entire cave.

One stream of magma shot towards Chu Xin who was darting forward.

With a flash, Chu Xin dodged out of the way, but her charge was forced to a halt.

In just that brief moment, the intersecting magma streams formed a flame cage, trapping everyone inside.

"Damn it!"

Long Shaoyu cursed, not because he was trapped in the flame cage, but because he noticed the Fire Boar Grass was gone.

His attention had been on Chu Xin and the Fire Swine King, and he hadn't seen how the Fire Boar Grass had disappeared. Find your next read at empire

But the Fire Swine King had a connection to the Fire Boar Grass, sensing its disappearance instantly.

He had gone through great effort with the goal of harvesting the Fire Boar Grass, but now it had vanished without a trace, and he also had to deal with the Fire Swine King's attack, which left him incredibly frustrated.

"Wow! Sister, this big pig can also control this magma fire, we must catch it, and then we won't have to waste Talismans to roast Seventh Rank Demon Beasts."

Chu Chen gazed at the flame cage formed by the magma columns, utterly fearless, with his round eyes even showing excitement.

"Haha! This big pig is just too good, not only providing an endless supply of pig heads but also the flames for roasting meat, simply perfect."

Chu Xin, too, was brimming with excitement, she summoned a small bead and then with a leap, she headed straight for the Double-headed Fire Swine King.

The tiny bead hovered above her head, and wherever she passed, whether it was the magma columns or the flames, they parted as if meeting their natural enemy.

"A Holy Level Fire-Repelling Pearl?"

Long Shaoyu's pupils shrank, and his face showed a trace of shock once again.

The magma controlled by the Double-headed Fire Swine King already carried a hint of the Law's aura, and against such high-level flames, ordinary Fire-Repelling Pearls would be useless.

Only a Holy Level Fire-Repelling Pearl, reinforced by the Power of Laws, could perfectly evade these magma fires.

Where on earth did this brat come from, having not only Talismans that could trap the Double-headed Fire Swine, but also the Water of Purification, Holy Level Fire-Repelling Pearl—how many treasures did this brat carry on her?

Could she be the Young Master of some State?

But among the Jiuzhou, apart from Central State and Lanzhou, he knew all the other Young Masters from the Six States; the former State Governor of Lanzhou was slain, and he had no sons. The new State Governor was the young lady Yu Fei, who was unmarried, naturally, she had no children.

As for Central State, there was no State Governor, only the Jiuzhou Emperor.

And the current Jiuzhou Emperor was the lady Long Yurou, who was also unmarried and, of course, had no children.

Or could she be a Saintess from one of the Ten Holy Lands?

That's not right either.

The ten great Holy Lands have four Saintesses and six Saint Heirs, though he hadn't seen them all, he had heard about them; their ages ranged from sixteen to nineteen, and all had entered the Secret Realm this time.

As Long Shaoyu was speculating about Chu Xin's identity and origins, Chu Xin had already breezed through the flame cage and landed on the snout of the Twin-headed Fire Boar King once more. With one small hand grasping a tusk and the other balled fist pounding on a pig head, she hammered away while asking in a childish, milky voice, "Big piggy, do you yield?"

Roar!

The Twin-headed Fire Boar King bellowed angrily, and its other head opened a wide, gaping mouth trying to bite her.

Chu Xin nimbly leaped, dodging the attack.

But the pig head failed to stop in time and ended up biting the other one, blood gushing out profusely as the Twin-headed Fire Boar King let out a piercing scream.

The bitten head hurriedly released its bite and roared angrily.

Before it could finish roaring, a tiny figure descended from the sky and landed on that pig head's snout, forcibly pressing shut its wide-open mouth and cutting off its roar.

Bang!

The tiny fist struck the pig head, and the childish, milky voice asked again, "Big piggy, do you yield?"

Asking and pounding at the same time.

The Twin-headed Fire Boar King let out agonized howls as its massive body thrashed wildly inside the cave, trying to shake Chu Xin off its nose.

Seeing that it was ineffective, the Twin-headed Fire Boar King stomped on the ground forcefully, creating an even larger crack, then leaped straight into that fissure, plunging into the magma below.

"So much fire!"

Chu Chen ran over and peered into the edge of the crack, looking down at the seemingly endless river of magma with a face full of excitement.

With a flick of her wrist, a red Jade Bottle flew out, hanging upside-down in mid-air.

Her chubby hands moved swiftly forming Talismans, and a terrifying suction force emanated from the red Jade Bottle, furiously swallowing the magma from below.

Seeing this from within the flame cage, Long Shaoyu couldn't help but speak up to remind her, "Ai Kaorou, your sister has fallen into the magma river."

"I saw it."

Chu Chen nodded, still focussing on collecting the magma.

Thinking of the many treasures Ai Chirou must possess, Long Shaoyu couldn't help but add, "The Twin-headed Fire Boar King can control this magma river, and the magma contains traces of the Law, its power incomparable to ordinary magma."

"I know."

Chu Chen nodded again, without any additional actions.

Long Shaoyu, somewhat speechless, continued, "Even though Ai Chirou has the Holy Level Fire-Repelling Pearl, activating it consumes a significant amount of True Qi. Although Ai Chirou is strong, she probably won't last long in the magma river. Aren't you worried your sister might encounter danger?"

"Fire-Repelling Pearl?"

Finally turning his head back, Chu Chen was not concerned about his sister's safety, but asked out of curiosity, "What's a Fire-Repelling Pearl?"

Long Shaoyu was taken aback and said, "It's that bead your sister had on her head."

Chu Chen had an epiphany, took out a bead from the Sumeru Ring to examine it, and muttered, "Isn't this the little bead Daddy specially made for us to go catch Little Fire Fish inside volcanoes? So it's called a Fire-Repelling Pearl."

Volcano?

Little Fire Fish?

It took Long Shaoyu a while to process before his pupils shrank and he said in shock, "You don't mean Fire Dragon Fish, do you?"

The Fire Dragon Fish, a creature of legend with the bloodline of a Fire Dragon, would be an Eighth Rank Demon Beast when fully grown.

The "Little Fire Fish" this brat mentioned was probably a juvenile Fire Dragon Fish, which would already be at the strength of at least Sixth Rank, if not Seventh Rank. And their father had caught them for these two brats to eat?
