Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 184 - 182: Emptying the Treasure Pavilion, Shattering Every Bone in Long Shaoyu’s Body
"Mom, those two little brats are back."
Long Shaoyu’s face turned pale with fright when he heard the conversation between the two kids. He tore through the void, trying to escape.
"Don’t you run."
A small figure leaped out of the burrow, and with her snow-white little hand, she threw out a bunch of talismans that transformed into chains filling the sky, forcibly yanking Long Shaoyu out of the spatial rift he was half into.
Bang!
Long Shaoyu slammed onto the ground, his entire body bound by the talismanic chains, unable to move, and could only wriggle like a maggot, shouting frantically: "Mom, those two little brats are back, help me."
Buzz!
Unfortunately, before he could shout out, Chu Chen, who emerged from the burrow a moment later, had already thrown out an Array Stone to set up a brand new Combined Formation within the Treasure Pavilion.
This Combined Formation not only had strong defenses and prohibited entry and exit, but it also blocked sound in one direction; no matter how much noise was made inside, not a single sound could be heard from the outside. However, any noise outside could be heard from inside.
After his hysterical shouting for a while, Long Shaoyu finally realized that he was exerting himself in vain and could only stop helplessly, turning his head to look at the two kids, and asked in a deep voice, "The Treasure Pavilion is protected by its own Formation that is always active; how did you two get in here without a sound?"
Previously in the Secret Realm, he knew these two kids had a way to enter the Guardian Formation, but he didn’t know exactly how they did it.
"Guardian Formation? Are you talking about the Formation arranged by these Array Bases?"
Chu Chen took out some Array Base Treasures from his Sumeru Ring and shook them.
Chu Xin said cheerfully, "Just dig a hole, find the weak point of the Formation, slip in through the most vulnerable spot, then locate and dig up the Array Base Treasures."
Finding the weak point of the Formation?
Slipping in through the most vulnerable spot?
Locating and digging up the Array Base Treasures?
Long Shaoyu’s mouth twitched slightly, the way these kids talked about it seemed quite easy, but each step was immensely difficult for others, and even an Array Master could not possibly achieve these three things without a sound.
Yet these two kids had accomplished it, which was simply inconceivable.
He looked at the approaching brother and sister with a forced smile on his face and let out a dry chuckle, "Ai Kaorou, I brought you to the Imperial City, and then you cut it open; technically, you’re the ones in the wrong, aren’t you? For the sake of our friendship, how about letting me go?"
"Imperial City?"
Chu Xin dashed forward in a single bound, lifted her short legs, and kicked Long Shaoyu in the belly, sending him flying into the Magic Array Barrier where he slammed against it and fell to the ground, spitting blood.
"Big liar, still trying to deceive us?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen charged again, raining down blows with their little fists on Long Shaoyu.
They had been able to keep their rage under control until the Imperial City was mentioned; then the siblings could not contain their fury any longer.
Growl!
The pocket-sized Two-headed Fire Dragon piglet also pounced, waving its dragon claws and nibbling with its pig heads.
"Ah! My bones are broken. Ah! My flesh is being bitten off. Stop, please stop."
Long Shaoyu’s anguished screams echoed throughout the Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately, under the envelopment of the Formation, it remained quiet outside.
However, this Formation could only block sound, not sight. As the siblings and the two-headed piglet were beating up Long Shaoyu, a disciple who came to receive a Magic Treasure happened to witness the scene, and he ran off, tumbling and scrambling, to inform the lady.
"Phew!"
After a while, Chu Xin and Chu Chen breathed out and finally stopped.
By then, Long Shaoyu’s whole body was fractured, chunks of flesh were missing, and he lay on the ground like a lump of mud, breathing out more than he was breathing in; without any surprises, death was not far off for him.
With a fierce look, Chu Chen picked up the Two-headed Fire Dragon piglet by its Dragon Tail and scolded, "Little pig, no more nibbling in the future. Look what you’ve done to him; it’s far too unsightly."
Growl!
The Two-headed Fire Dragon piglet cried plaintively and nodded its two little pig heads.
"You can’t die."
While Chu Chen was scolding the piglet, Chu Xin muttered softly, pouring an Elixir into Long Shaoyu’s body and helping him refine the medicinal power.
Strands of golden light circulated within his body, sustaining his life force.
"Mm, now he won’t die for a while."
Chu Xin nodded in satisfaction.
"You two little demons..."
With lifeless eyes, Long Shaoyu mumbled.
Ignoring him, Chu Xin turned her attention to the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion, exclaiming excitedly, "Wow! So many treasures, they’re all mine."
With that, her tiny body fluttered towards the nearest treasure, grabbed it to take a look, then put it into her Sumeru Ring, before extending her little claws towards the next item.
"Sister, leave some for me."
Chu Chen threw the two-headed piglet aside and lunged at the treasures, his chubby hands waving furiously as he quickly gathered the treasures one by one.
Roar!
The two-headed piglet let out a dragon’s roar, its four short legs propelling it forward as it too sprinted towards the treasures.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
As the saying goes, one takes on the color of one’s company.
Having spent a long time with Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the two-headed piglet gradually developed some of their habits, such as a love for eating and for treasures.
"Stop, stop at once."
Long Shaoyu’s eyes blazed with fury, continuously roaring in rage; unfortunately, with all his bones shattered and his life hanging by a thread on that elixir, he was powerless to do anything but watch helplessly as two brats and a pig bundled away the treasures from the Treasure Pavilion one by one.
"Stop, stop it, I say."
Long Shaoyu shouted weakly, and although the treasures here were not the most top-tier—the real top-tier treasures were all inside his father and two masters’ Sumeru Rings—these were the foundation for training disciples at the State Mansion.
Without these foundational treasures, they certainly couldn’t start rewarding disciples with those top-tier treasures, could they?
Not to mention whether these disciples could refine such top-tier treasures, even if they could, with their cultivation levels, they wouldn’t be able to protect them. They would surely become targets for the powerful to kill and rob.
An empty foundation in a power... the consequences were too terrible to contemplate.
Unfortunately, he was now unable to do anything, not even send a basic message.
He watched as treasures vanished at a visible rate, tears of regret streaming down his face.
If only I had known this would happen, why did I ever start it in the first place?
If time could flow backward, I would definitely never provoke these two brats again, let alone bring them back to Cangzhou.
Regrettably, not even a Martial God could reverse time.
"Haha, done!"
Finally, Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked around the now empty Treasure Pavilion, clapped their hands in satisfaction, having completely emptied it out.
"It’s over!"
Long Shaoyu’s eyes were empty, his face ashen.
"Sister, shall we go?"
Chu Chen looked around, ensuring nothing was missed before asking.
With the Treasure Pavilion emptied and the big swindler all beaten up, their goals had been achieved.
"Wait a second!"
Chu Xin squatted down in front of Long Shaoyu and asked, "Big swindler, does your family have any other treasures?"
"It’s all over, completely over."
Long Shaoyu continued to mutter to himself, paying no heed.
"Not talking?"
Chu Xin raised an elegant eyebrow and placed a Truth Talisman on him, but to her surprise, the Truth Talisman also failed to work, and Long Shaoyu continued to mumble the same two words.
"The Truth Talisman didn’t work either?"
Chu Xin was somewhat surprised, realizing that this guy had been acting all along in the Secret Realm.
"It’s useless, I have a prohibition set by the Martial Emperor on my body. Methods like Truth Talismans, Oath Talismans, are useless against me."
Long Shaoyu glanced at Chu Xin with a cold tone.
"So that’s how it is."
Chu Xin suddenly understood.
Boom!
Just then, a loud noise came from the Magic Array Barrier.
Chu Xin turned to look and saw the Dragon Mother leading a group of people frantically attacking the Magic Array Barrier.
"Bye-bye!"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen waved at the Dragon Mother and jumped into the hole with the two-headed piglet in their arms.
"Damn brats, I’ll tear you to pieces."
They could faintly hear the Dragon Mother’s heart-wrenching cries of fury.
