Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 176 - 174: Don’t be nervous, big sis is just going to have some fun in Imperial City

"What’s going on?"

The folks who had been enjoying their barbecue stood up in unison, looking towards the main courtyard with startled uncertainty.

"Is that, Ai Chirou’s voice?"

Long Shaoyu’s face was filled with confusion. Wasn’t that brat supposed to be in seclusion? How did he suddenly end up in the main courtyard? And looking at that momentum, that brat must be striking with full force. Could it be that he’s fighting with Second Master?

The plan to capture the child hadn’t even been relayed to Second Master; had he already found out about it and acted in advance?

At that moment, Long Shaoyu never even considered the true intentions of the two brats.

"Quick, let’s go, stop her."

Long’s mother’s face suddenly changed; she had not sensed the Martial Emperor’s presence, which meant that above the main courtyard there was only the brat’s presence.

Although she didn’t know what that brat was up to, her intuition told her it wasn’t anything good.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators around them took to the air in preparation to rush toward the main courtyard.

"I can’t let you guys go over."

Standing in front of the barbecue grill, Chu Chen murmured softly, his chubby little hands swiftly forming hand seals.

Hum!

A layer of light screen rose up from all around, enveloping the entire martial arts arena in a blink.

Many cultivators who had taken to the air struck the protective shield and were rebounded back, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"When was this formation placed?"

The faces of the cultivators were filled with astonishment.

"Ai Kaorou, what are you doing?"

Long Shaoyu stared at Chu Chen, his tone dark as he asked.

Chu Chen scratched his topknot, grinned sheepishly, and said, "Big brother, just wait a little while longer."

"Break the formation!"

Long’s mother shouted deeply.

"Yes!"

The cultivators responded in unison, including Long Fei and others lurking outside the martial arts arena, who began to attack frantically. Powerful attacks from both inside and outside the barrier kept falling on it incessantly, with thunderous sounds that did not cease. However, no matter how they attacked, they were unable to break through the magic array barrier.

Chu Chen leisurely drank beast milk and nibbled on barbecued meat, said in a milky voice, "Don’t bother, this is a combined formation made up of ten array stones that I used, you can’t break through it. How about I grill some more meat for you guys, and you can continue after eating?"

Hearing his words, the cultivators nearly spat out blood in frustration.

"What does your sister want to do?"

Long Shaoyu asked sternly.

Chu Chen felt a bit guilty towards this kind brother who had kindly brought him to the Imperial City. With an awkward tone and a dry laugh, he said, "Big brother, don’t worry, my sister is just splitting the Imperial City, she won’t hurt you guys."

"Splitting the Imperial City?"

Long Shaoyu was stunned.

Boom!

At the same time, a terrifying giant sword condensed in the sky above the main courtyard and slashed down thunderously. The dreadful Sword Intent, even from a great distance, caused everyone’s heart to skip a beat.

"So strong!"

All the cultivators were dumbstruck, swallowing hard.

With such a powerful strike and such a huge commotion, the main courtyard must have been obliterated by now.

No, it was possibly not just the main courtyard, but everything nearby may have turned to ruins as well.

"That’s not right, the State Mansion has a guardian formation that should automatically activate when attacked. Why is there no movement from the guardian formation?"

Suddenly, someone voiced the doubt in their mind.

"Right, where is the Guardian Formation?"

For a moment, all cultivators turned their attention to Dragon Mother and Long Shaoyu.

Dragon Mother’s expression was ugly. She couldn’t understand why the Guardian Formation hadn’t activated on its own, but now wasn’t the time to think about that. She had to trigger the Formation immediately; she couldn’t let these two troublemakers get away.

She brought out a Token, which floated in the air; she formed Hand Seals with her hands, channeling streams of pure True Qi into the Token.

"Formation, activate!"

With a low shout, the Token vibrated violently, its patterns sinking into the ground, and rapidly spreading throughout the entire State Mansion.

Pfft!

There seemed to be the sound of something shattering faintly, but Dragon Mother paid it no heed.

However, after waiting for a long time, the State Mansion’s Guardian Formation showed no signs of activation, and she started to panic.

"How is this possible? Has the Formation lost its effect?"

Dragon Mother’s face turned pale with shock, her brows filled with intense confusion.

This was the Guardian Formation of the State Mansion, the strongest measure besides the State Governor Seal; it was inspected every year for maintenance, and since the undercurrents in Jiuzhou began, an Array Master, who was a Sword Cultivator, was arranged to check it daily—it couldn’t possibly be ineffective.

"You damned troublemakers, did you dig up the Array Base?"

Others were clueless about what was happening, but Long Shaoyu instantly understood and stared at Chu Chen, asking through gritted teeth.

Chu Chen scratched his bun-shaped hair as usual and said with a sheepish laugh, "Big brother, to let big sis smoothly ’split’ the Imperial City, I had no choice. I’ll roast more meat for you as compensation, alright?"

Meat as compensation?

Long Shaoyu nearly spat blood on the spot, took a deep breath and asked, "Did you know about this all along?"

With a puzzled face, Chu Chen replied, "Know what?"

Hmm?

This troublemaker doesn’t know I’m deceiving him?

Long Shaoyu scrutinized Chu Chen carefully, and seeing that his gaze seemed genuine, thought for a moment and then asked again, "What exactly are you two here in the Imperial City to do? Don’t tell me you came here to play."

Chu Chen scratched his bun-shaped hair, thought for a moment, and said somewhat guiltily, "Big brother, my sister and I are just here to ’split’ the Imperial City for fun."

"’Split’ the Imperial City, for fun?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was collectively dumbfounded.

This was something they had never heard before.

Even those who detested the Imperial City would just talk about it, but these two troublemakers were serious about ’splitting’ it.

The problem was, this wasn’t the Imperial City, it was Cangzhou Prefecture.

The young master had the entire household of the Prefecture change their claim to be the Imperial City, to deceive these two troublemakers into staying, to accomplish his grand scheme. He hadn’t anticipated it ending with the Prefecture being split into ruins.

After a moment of being stupefied, Long Shaoyu even harshly slapped himself. All this time, these two troublemakers had come all the way to the Imperial City just to ’split’ it?

If he had known, he would have taken these two troublemakers to the real Imperial City, never would he have brought them to his own home.

He had spent a hundred days plotting against these troublemakers, only to end up being played by them in the end.

Such bad karma.

Long Shaoyu stomped his foot in frustration, his complexion exceedingly grim.

This time he truly lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot, and no matter how painful, he had to swallow it himself.

Dragon Mother glared fiercely at Long Shaoyu, thinking that her foolish son’s scheming was adequate, not expecting him to be so incompetent, failing to reckon with two troublemakers under the age of five.

However, now wasn’t the time to blame Long Shaoyu, the most important thing was to catch this troublemaker, break through this Formation, and then go stop the other one.

"Catch him."

The command from Dragon Mother set all cultivators in motion, attacking Chu Chen.

Hum!

A Protective Shield rose up, blocking all the incoming attacks.

Seated on the ground, Chu Chen drank Beast Milk and gnawed on roast meat, looking at the people attacking vigorously, and said in a childish voice, "Everyone, put in more effort. If you get tired, let me know, and I’ll roast some more meat for you."
