Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 181 - 179: This Isn’t the Imperial City? Did We Save the Wrong Mother?

"Thank goodness, Mother can be saved."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen both jumped up, high-fived each other, cheered joyfully, and were terribly excited.

This would be the proudest thing they had ever done since they were born.

Suddenly, a groan came, and the siblings immediately stopped celebrating and turned to look at "Mother."

"Mother is waking up."

The siblings squatted on either side of "Mother," leaning their little heads closer and staring at her face, their round eyes filled with expectation and excitement.

Jin Hong opened his eyes groggily, and the sight of two faces like porcelain dolls startled him, "Ah! Who are you?"

Perhaps having not spoken for too long, his voice sounded a bit rusty.

"Mother, you’ve finally woken up, sob, we missed you so much."

Seeing "Mother" speak, Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately threw themselves into her arms, crying loudly.

"Mother?"

Jin Hong was baffled. Where did these two brats come from, can’t they see I am a man?

I, a robust man of eight chi tall, full of heroic spirit, am not feminine at all. How could I be mistaken for a woman?

Jin Hong was speechless.

He looked up at the azure sky above, his expression suddenly solemn. Why am I here?

Wasn’t I locked in the Blood Pond by Long Yuchen, enduring the soul-tormenting pain of the Blood Sea day and night?

He carefully sensed his body and was shocked to find that the Blood Sea Power within him had been completely expelled. Although his soul, damaged by the Blood Sea, couldn’t fully recover yet, at least he didn’t have to worry about becoming a Blood Demon.

But what kind of power could possibly expel the Blood Sea Power that could corrode the Fate Power?

He looked at the two little tykes sobbing into his chest, feeling the tears soaking his clothes, which felt slightly chilly. A bizarre thought crossed his mind—could these two little tykes have saved me?

No, that can’t be right.

These two little tykes look no older than five years, how could they possibly rescue me from Cangzhou Prefecture.

With Long Yuchen of Cangzhou and the Supreme Elder, both Martial Emperors, there’s no way these little tykes could have rescued me from them.

Could it be their father?

Thinking this, Jin Hong asked, "May I ask, where is your father?"

A life-saving debt must be thanked in person after all.

"Ah! Mother is thinking about father."

Chu Xin lifted her head, stood up straight, tears still hanging in her round eyes, and even a tear on the little chin exposed beneath her phoenix-shaped mask. In a babyish voice, she said, "Mother, father came to rescue you too, but we didn’t see him around."

Chu Chen also climbed out from the chilly embrace of "Mother" and blinked his tear-filled eyes, saying in a childlike voice, "Maybe he got lost, but it’s okay, Mother, come back home with us, father will eventually come back."

Thinking of your father?

Going back home with you?

What is all this mess?

Jin Hong, just sitting up, paused and explained in a fluster, "No, I…"

"Mother, don’t be embarrassed."

Chu Xin waved her little white hand like a little adult, grinning as she said, "In our village, whenever the uncles go hunting and aren’t gone long, the aunties start missing them. Since you and father haven’t seen each other for a while, you must be missing him even more."

"I…" Jin Hong tried to explain again but was interrupted by Chu Chen again.

"Mother, you must protect us when we go home."

Chu Chen nervously said, "Quietly tell Mom, we sneaked out to save you. Dad will definitely be angry if he finds out, and when Dad gets angry, he will definitely spank us. He always likes to spank us, and it hurts so much."

Chu Xin nodded repeatedly, complaining to "Mom", "In our village, the older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, whenever their dad spanks them, their mom always protects them. As soon as their mom yells, their dad dares not hit them anymore. We don’t have a mom, and there’s no one to protect us when Dad spanks us. But now it’s okay, we’ve rescued Mom, and Dad will never dare to spank us again."

"Right, he won’t dare anymore."

Chu Chen waved his plump little fists, playfully fierce, "Mom, if Dad ever spanks us again, you should scold him, spank him. Let him taste what it’s like to be spanked."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Thinking of Dad being spanked by Mom, Chu Xin and Chu Chen laughed happily.

"..."

Jin Hong watched the carefree siblings, speechless.

From their conversation, he gathered some information.

These cute kids had a dad but no mom, and were often spanked by their dad; this time they had sneaked out while their dad went to rescue their mom.

How pitiful.

But I’m really not your mom, you know.

Jin Hong looked at the excited siblings and, for a moment, couldn’t bear to tell them the truth.

They would surely be heartbroken upon knowing the truth, wouldn’t they?

But I have very important things to do and can’t stay with them forever, better to hurt now than hurt more later.

Thinking this, Jin Hong cleared his throat softly, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Little friends, I’m a man."

"We know you’re a man," Chu Chen nodded and said.

"You know? Then why do you still think I’m your mom? Men can’t have children with other men," Jin Hong patiently explained.

"Men and men can’t have children?"

Chu Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly tugged at Chu Xin’s sleeve, his little mouth pouting, with a crying tone, he whispered, "Sister, were we picked up by Dad and Mom under some big tree? Uncle Shi Hu always says that Sister Er Ni was picked up under the big tree outside the village. Woo, Sister, I don’t want to be picked up."

Chu Xin also froze upon hearing this, opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say, simply pouting, her tears gushing forth.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry!"

Jin Hong was a bit panicked; he had never been married, never raised children, where had he faced such a situation. Only when the siblings’ crying slowly subsided did he ask, "How did you determine I was your mom?"

Chu Xin wiped her tears and said, "Dad said Mom was suppressed under Imperial City. I split open Imperial City, and since only you were imprisoned beneath it, you must be our mom."

Chu Chen, still tearful, said, "Mom also said that men can’t have kids with other men, so my sister and I must be picked up, woo woo!"

He cried even harder as he spoke.

"Woo woo!"

Chu Xin also cried loudly, tears flowing ceaselessly.

"But this is Cangzhou, not Central State, right?" Jin Hong asked confusedly, "Who told you this was Central State?"

"This is Cangzhou? Not Central State?"

"We rescued the wrong mom?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were both stunned.

"Yes." Jin Hong nodded firmly, said, "You rescued the wrong mom, your real mom would definitely be a woman, and you definitely weren’t picked up."

"Yay, that’s great, you’re not our mom, we weren’t picked up."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen cheered, happily jumping and bouncing around.
