Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 348: Chapter 346: Eighteen Divine Runes, Golden Light Moves the Nine Heavens

Six days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Long Yufei was holding grilled meat, yet she hadn’t taken a single bite. With a frown, she asked, “Ai Kaorou, it’s been six days. Hasn’t the energy in that pool finished converting yet?”

“Not yet.”

Chu Chen served a bowl of Illusion Beast Blood Soup to Long Yufei and said with a grin, “Auntie Long, don’t worry, it should be finished converting very soon.”

Long Yufei took the Blood Soup but had no appetite whatsoever.

She had stayed here all this time, worrying that the energy converted from the pool wouldn’t be enough and that she would have to continue devouring.

She never expected that just converting the energy would take a full six days.

Her sister had said they could only delay for six days at most; today was the last day. If they didn’t return now, they really would be too late.

The key issue was, she still didn’t know whether the energy converted from the pool would be enough for Ai Chirou to achieve a breakthrough.

If a breakthrough wasn’t possible, wouldn’t that mean waiting another six or seven days, or even longer? By that time, the throne could have changed hands.

Although she and the Empress, her sister, had already realized Long Yusheng didn’t truly intend to force abdication in this manner, if they truly lost the bet, Long Yusheng might just take the opportunity to enforce it.

As it concerned the survival of the Empire, how could she not be anxious?

“This Illusion Beast Blood Soup is really delicious.”

Chu Xin, who was engrossed in eating grilled meat, took a sip of the steaming-hot Blood Soup. Her round, plump eyes immediately squinted in pleasure, appearing immensely satisfied.

Even though she had been eating Illusion Beast grilled meat and drinking Illusion Beast Blood Soup for six days straight, she didn’t feel sick of it at all.

Whether it was the grilled meat or the Blood Soup, each day had a different flavor.

“The meat of a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast must taste even better.”

While eating, Chu Xin also glanced toward the Illusion God Abyss through a projected image.

Inside it, the continuously emerging Eighth Rank Illusion Beasts had already greatly decreased in number, suggesting that there weren’t many Eighth Rank Illusion Beasts left in the abyss.

She was somewhat looking forward to it, wondering whether a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast would emerge from the depths.

Even though their father forbade them from fighting beings at the Martial Emperor Level, with Auntie Long and the two-headed piglet here, it would still be possible to control the Divine Coffin using their Rule Power to battle against a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast.

“Ninth Rank Illusion Beast? Ai Chirou, you must not entertain the idea of dealing with a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast.”

Hearing this, Long Yufei was startled and quickly admonished with a grave tone.

The Illusion Technique Divine Power of a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast would surely be more terrifying; no one knew whether the two rambunctious children could withstand it.

Even if the two children could still withstand the Illusion Technique Divine Power from a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast, the combat power of a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast, which could match an Eighth Rank Demon Beast and compare to a Martial Emperor, was beyond them before their breakthrough—they would not be a match for a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast.

If a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast actually came out, the only thing they could do would be to turn around and run away.

“Got it, Auntie Long.”

Chu Xin nodded and murmured softly in response.

Suddenly, Chu Chen, who was busily grilling meat, lifted his head and said in a milky voice, “Sister, the energy in the Gathering God Pond has finished converting. There’s a total of six drops of Divine Water.”

As he spoke, his chubby little hand waved, and the Gathering God Pond flew out from his body, hovering in the Divine Coffin Space.

“It’s finally completed? Quick, Ai Chirou, start absorbing the Divine Water to see if you can break through.”

Upon hearing these words, Long Yufei could no longer sit still and urgently urged.

“Okay!”

Chu Xin nodded.

Chu Chen’s plump little hand slammed down on the Gathering God Pond, and immediately six drops of Divine Water rose up.

Whoosh!

The overwhelming pressure swept in, causing Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue to continuously retreat. Even the two-headed piglet that fell asleep after eating the Illusion Beast Crystal Core was awakened by this formidable aura.

“Such strong suppression,”

Long Yufei was shocked in her heart. She was, after all, a genuine Martial Emperor, yet she could barely withstand the pressure radiating from what they called Divine Water. Could this thing really be consumed to enhance strength?

Her lips moved slightly, wanting to advise Ai Chirou to give up on consuming the Divine Water to boost his abilities. But then she remembered, without Ai Chirou’s breakthrough, no one could defeat the Heavenly Pride of Longzhou, and her sister would face the fate of being forced to abdicate. Hesitating, she wavered.

She knew the true identity of Ai Chirou and Ai Kaorou. If something happened because of this so-called Divine Water, her sister would likely never forgive her for a lifetime. She would also never be able to forgive herself.

But she didn’t want to see her sister forced to abdicate and walk towards ruin either.

After much hesitation, she ultimately did not stop him.

This was also another reason why she dared not reveal the true identities of the two infants to her sister.

If her sister knew their identities, she would never have let them take risks in the Illusion God Mountain Range, and she certainly wouldn’t have agreed to let Ai Chirou consume the terrifying-looking Divine Water.

Chu Xin didn’t pay attention to Long Yufei’s complex emotions at the moment; with a greasy little hand, she waved and fed the six drops of Divine Water into her mouth.

Buzz!

A powerful surge of energy rippled inside her body, leaving Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue tremendously startled.

This was their first time witnessing the little infant consuming Divine Water up close, and the scene was indeed quite spectacular.

Long Yufei even dared not let out a breath, not because she felt oppressed by this imposing aura, but because she was worried that the little infant couldn’t withstand such a massive energy impact.

If she could withstand it, all would be well.

But if she couldn’t, Long Yufei would become the murderer who caused the death of her sister’s child, her own nephew, and she would never have the face to see her sister again.

The two-headed piglet, however, didn’t have too many thoughts. After the suppression had passed, it went back to sleep.

“Auntie Long, Auntie Ye, why aren’t you eating?”

Chu Chen, holding a skewer of meat in one hand and turning the roasting meat on the grill with the other, turned his head looking puzzled at Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue and asked, “Is the roasted meat I gave you not cooked yet?”

Long Yufei turned to look at Chu Chen and asked with a frown, “Ai Kaorou, are you not the least bit worried about your sister?”

This questioned stupefied Chu Chen; he blinked his round eyes and asked in confusion, “Auntie Long, my sister is right here. She hasn’t gone to fight with the Martial Emperor, so what’s there to worry about?”

Long Yufei pointed at Chu Xin and said, “The energy contained within those six drops of Divine Water is so immense, can your sister withstand it?”

“You’re talking about that,”

Chu Chen rolled his round eyes and said in a babyish voice, “Auntie Long, don’t worry. My sister and I have never gotten a stomachache from eating.”

Stomachache?

Long Yufei was speechless. Was this a matter of a stomachache? If she couldn’t withstand the energy of those six drops of Divine Water, it would mean death by body explosion.

How could this kid be so carefree?

Two hours passed in agony for Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue.

Buzz!

A golden Rune rose at the heart of Chu Xin.

A strong aura released from within her body.

Immediately after, the original seventeen Divine Runes appeared one by one, encircling Chu Xin in a total of eighteen Divine Runes.

Boom!

Suddenly, the eighteen Divine Runes vibrated, and at the center, a ray of golden light soared into the sky, shaking the nine heavens.
