Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Guided by the Longzhou cultivators, Chu Xin navigated the Divine Coffin across the Fire Cloud State Sea. After a day’s travel, they finally arrived above the clouds of Cloud State City, hidden within the clouds.

True to its name, Cloud State had more clouds than the other states, which made it even more convenient for the Divine Coffin to stay hidden.

"Sister, should we go down?"

Through the projection of the Divine Coffin, Chu Chen gazed at the State City below, asking with eagerness.

Chu Xin furrowed her brow, deep in thought.

Several Longzhou cultivators glanced at each other, a glint of understanding in their eyes.

They guessed that after suffering such a great loss, the State Governor of Fire State, Long Yuyan, would surely use the transmission array to lay an ambush in Cloud State in advance.

Perhaps, he had already gathered all the Martial Emperors from Fire State and Cloud State in Cloud City and set up a trap, just waiting for these two naive kids to fall into it.

"Should we warn them?"

One of the Longzhou cultivators asked through a transmission.

"What are you thinking? Those two naïve kids are our enemies, why should we warn them?"

"Exactly, I’d rather they got taken out sooner so we can escape," said a few other Longzhou cultivators through their transmissions.

After a brief discussion, all of the Longzhou cultivators decided to keep silent.

However, they were underestimating Chu Xin.

She took out a book and sat down cross-legged, flipping through it carefully.

"What is she reading?"

The Longzhou cultivators were full of curiosity. They were trapped and couldn’t move, only managing to see the title "Three Hundred and Sixty Stratagems" on the cover.

"Three Hundred and Sixty Stratagems? What is that?"

The hearts of the Longzhou cultivators were filled with puzzlement, trying to recall if they had ever come across such a book before, but they never had.

"Judging by the name, could it be a record of three hundred and sixty strategies?"

"Strategies? Who would be so bored as to write down such things?"

Several Longzhou cultivators were somewhat speechless.

Chu Chen also sat down nearby, peeked at the book with a glance, then lost interest. He took out his Ice Beast Milk and leisurely sipped on it.

As for the double-headed piglet, it lay on Chu Xin’s shoulder, extending both heads, engrossed in the book.

Chu Chen took a sip of Beast Milk and, seeing how intently the piglet was looking, asked curiously, "Little pig, can you understand it?"

"I don’t understand it," replied the young voice of the double-headed piglet, without turning around, still staring unwaveringly at "Three Hundred and Sixty Stratagems".

"If you don’t understand, why are you looking?"

Chu Chen blinked his large eyes, mumbling to himself.

"Is it that if I don’t understand, I can’t look? If I look a few more times, maybe I will understand," the double-headed piglet responded.

"That seems to make some sense."

Chu Chen thought for a moment, nodded, and then came over to have another look.

But after only a moment, he felt his eyelids grow heavy, and drowsiness set in. He struggled to stay awake but soon his little head started to nod off, slowly drifting to sleep.

Seeing this, several Longzhou cultivators almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

In this moment, the naïve child truly resembled the young ones in their clan when they were learning to read and write.

"I found it."

Suddenly, Chu Xin exclaimed with joy, startling the sleeping Chu Chen. He leaped up from the ground with a start.

"What’s up? What’s up? Are we about to fight?" Chu Chen looked around, only to realize he was still in the Divine Coffin Space.

"Idiot!"

Chu Xin rolled her eyes dramatically and spat out two words irritably.

"Uh-huh!"

The two-headed piglet nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Hehe!"

Chu Chen scratched his head, laughed awkwardly, and then grabbed the two-headed piglet’s Dragon Tail, hoisting it into the air and said menacingly, "Little pig, do you need your neck scratched again? My sister hasn’t had roast pig head in a long time."

I might not dare to cross my sister, but a dead pig like you?

He thought smugly to himself.

Upon hearing this, the two-headed piglet instantly tucked in its neck, covering it with its two little Dragon Claws, and shook its head repeatedly, "Second brother, I was wrong."

"Yeah, that’s more like it."

Chu Chen was quite satisfied with the two-headed piglet’s reaction, dropped it, and then turned to Chu Xin, asking, "Sister, have you thought of any strategies?"

Chu Xin glanced at the book of Three Hundred and Sixty Strategies again, and said excitedly, "There’s no doubt about it, it’s the strategy of Vertical and Horizontal Alliances, Ambush from Ten Sides, Besieged on All Sides..."

She listed several strategies in one breath, her big eyes sparkling with confidence.

"What does that mean?"

Chu Chen was utterly puzzled; he couldn’t understand a single one of those strategies.

It wasn’t just him, even the several Cultivators from Longzhou appeared totally clueless, clearly having never heard of these strategies before.

Perhaps they knew how these strategies could be implemented, but they had certainly never heard these technical terms.

Chu Xin stood up, holding the Three Hundred and Sixty Strategies in one hand and the other behind her back, pacing like a scholar and explained, "That Long Yuyan from Fire State failed to catch us and will definitely form an alliance with others, bringing in more people to deal with us, which is called Vertical and Horizontal Alliances. They surely know we’re heading to Cloud State, so they will have set up a lot of ambushes in advance, which is called Ambush from Ten Sides. Once we enter Cloud City, we will surely face a barrage of attacks, which is Besieged on All Sides."

Stopping there, she looked at Chu Chen and the two-headed piglet, asking, "Do you understand now?"

Chu Chen nodded and then shook his head, "It seems like I got it, but then again, I didn’t."

"Uh-huh!"

The two-headed piglet continued to nod in agreement.

"Why are you so dumb?"

Chu Xin slightly furrowed her brow in frustration. After thinking it over, she couldn’t figure out how to explain it better and could only huff at Chu Chen and the two-headed piglet with a stern gaze.

Chu Chen and the two-headed piglet hung their heads like students reproached by a strict teacher.

Chu Xin then turned to the Cultivators from Longzhou and scolded, "You’re all grown-ups; how can you not understand such simple tactics? You’ve grown for nothing."

The Cultivators from Longzhou were baffled. What did this have to do with them?

Plus, they never said they didn’t understand, did they? Was this brat purposely venting anger on them?

However, considering they were now at the mercy of this brat, they didn’t dare to retort and suffered in silence.

"Sigh! What would you do without me?"

Chu Xin shook her head and sighed dramatically. After a moment of thought, she said, "Brother, summon a Battle Body, and change its color."

"Okay, Sister."

Chu Chen nodded, summoned the purple-haired Chu Chen, and used the Talisman to change the purple hair and eyes to black.

At the same time, Chu Xin also changed all the purple on her purple-haired Battle Body to black.

Then she waved her pale hand, creating a portal of space, and sent the two transformed Battle Bodies out.

The color-changed purple-haired Chu Xin and Chu Chen climbed out from the Divine Coffin. Their bodies flashed and disappeared into the sky, appearing in the midst of Cloud City.

After asking for the direction to the Transmission Array, they set off hand in hand, hopping and skipping their way towards it.
