Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 225 - 223: Did the Mischievous Kid’s Stir-Fried Octopus Turn Mushy?

"Now there aren’t any Demon Beasts to fight me for the meat."

Chu Xin looked at the densely packed Demon Beast corpses floating on the sea’s surface, then satisfied, patted her little hands. However, her expression soon stiffened, and her gaze became somewhat dull.

All around the sea’s surface, more and more Demon Beasts emerged, densely packed. These were mostly lower-rank Demon Beasts that had not developed Spiritual Wisdom, yet their innate drive to devour the flesh of higher-rank Demon Beasts to evolve was even stronger than that of those with Spiritual Wisdom.

Driven by this instinct, they rushed towards their death like moths to a flame, fearless and desperate just to eat a bite of higher-rank Demon Beast flesh.

"They’re coming again?"

Chu Xin frowned her delicate little brows and glared with her round, large eyes, then took out a pile of Talismans and threw them in all directions. The Talismans burst into dazzling light mid-air, golden threads interweaving, a light screen draping down from the threads, forming a Protective Shield in an instant that enveloped all Demon Beast corpses.

Bang bang!

The dense mass of lower-rank Demon Beasts crashed into the Protective Shield, the powerful rebound force shattering their bodies. Despite this, the lower-rank Demon Beasts continued their suicidal charges without the slightest pause.

Chu Xin waved her snow-white little hand, collecting all the Demon Beast corpses. These would all become delicious roasted meat and couldn’t be wasted.

After collecting the Demon Beast corpses, she waved her hand to dispel the Protective Shield, and the lower-rank Demon Beasts immediately swarmed towards the sea water soaked with the blood of the Demon Beasts.

Chu Xin glanced at this and turned back into the Divine Coffin, took out all the chopped meat of the Purple Thunder Octopus Monster, stacked it aside, then called out the Eight Great Battle Forms to handle the ingredients. She couldn’t wait to ask, "Brother, is the octopus meat roasted yet? Give me a taste quickly."

"Sister, here you go."

Chu Chen handed her a skewer of grilled octopus tentacles taller than him, but his eyes stayed fixated on the large pot.

Chu Xin took the grilled octopus tentacle and bit eagerly into it. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed with delight, "So chewy, so bouncy, and there’s a smoky aroma. It’s truly delicious." Discover hidden content at novelbuddy

A nearby Thunder State Cultivator swallowed his saliva, smacking his lips while staring greedily at the grilled octopus tentacle in Chu Xin’s hand. He had been watching and smelling it for a while, the mere scent was enough to whet his appetite and make his mouth water. Seeing how much Chu Xin enjoyed it, his craving grew even stronger.

But this was meat roasted by two mischievous kids, and it was Eighth Rank Demon Beast meat at that. He didn’t have the nerve to ask for some unless the cheeky kids offered it themselves.

"Hmm!"

Chu Chen was naturally confident in his roasting skills and answered without looking back, his gaze still locked on the big pot, his little brows slightly furrowed.

Seeing his expression, Chu Xin felt puzzled. After two years of roasting meat, she had never seen this look on her brother’s face, as if he had encountered some huge problem.

She walked over to the pot to take a look and was surprised to see a bunch of thumb-sized chunks of meat inside, black and charred. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother, what’s this? How did it get burnt?"

"Stir-fried octopus."

Chu Chen spoke without lifting his head, his tone filled with frustration, "I followed Dad’s recorded steps exactly. Why didn’t it work?"

"Stir-fried octopus?"

Chu Xin looked at the heap of meat inside the pot with some distress. Such delicious ingredients had gone to waste. It would have been better to make it into roast meat. But seeing Chu Chen with a thoughtful expression, she couldn’t bear to say more. Instead, she consoled him, "It’s okay, Dad always said that failure is the mother of success—no mother, no sons and daughters."

"Did Dad really say that?" Chu Chen asked with a skeptical face.

"Of course. If you listened carefully in the past, you wouldn’t be regretting it now, right?"

Chu Xin nodded very firmly, "So, brother, don’t be disheartened. Just keep giving it more tries at being a mother, and soon you’ll have sons and daughters."

Pfft!

The Thunder State Cultivator nearby couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Chu Xin gnawed at a piece of roasted meat, shooting him a dissatisfied glance and huffily asked, "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I wasn’t laughing at anything. I just thought of something happy." The Thunder State Cultivator’s smile faded as he quickly explained.

"Oh."

Chu Xin didn’t give it much thought and turned to look at Chu Chen, then at the burnt chunks of meat in the big pot. A twinge of distress flickered in her round, wide eyes. She finally couldn’t help saying, "But, you know, I think you could use that Demon Beast meat to make ’Mommy’ first, and when you have sons and daughters, making ’Stir-fried Octopus’ would be even better."

Pfft!

The Thunder State Cultivator almost laughed out loud again, hastily covering his mouth with his hand as his face turned beet red.

Chu Chen glanced at him and then went back to studying how to make Stir-fry.

Chu Xin, munching on her roasted meat, turned to the Thunder State Cultivator and asked, "Thought of something happy again?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

The Thunder State Cultivator nodded vigorously. These two rascals were just too funny. Without hearing their conversation from the beginning to the end, one would have a hard time understanding what they were talking about at first listen.

"You have a lot of happy thoughts? I want to hear them, too."

Chu Xin asked curiously, "Daddy said that happy things should be shared so that everyone can be happy."

"Ah? This, that..."

The Thunder State Cultivator stuttered, unable to articulate an explanation but then had a stroke of inspiration and said, "Little friend, I think we’d better head to the Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion soon. It wouldn’t be good if someone else gets there first."

"Ah, I almost forgot about the important thing."

Chu Xin’s greasy little hand slapped her forehead leaving a greasy palm print, then she bit down on the roast meat that was taller than herself and prepared to form a Hand Seal with both hands. Suddenly, she stopped and turned to ask the Thunder State Cultivator, "Do you know where the Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion is?"

"I don’t know."

The Thunder State Cultivator shook his head.

Furrowing her little brows, Chu Xin then turned to the Cultivators surrounding the Divine Coffin, changed her Seal Technique, and projected it above the coffin. After scanning the crowd, she pointed at someone and asked in a babyish tone, "Do you know where the Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion is?"

The Peak Martial Saint’s eyes darted, then he pointed forward and said, "Walk hundred li forward, sink into the sea, and you will see the Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion."

"Thank you!"

Chu Xin’s oily little hand formed a fist in thanks, then she prepared to leave. After a second thought and still unconvinced, she pointed at another Cultivator and asked, "Is the Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion where he said it is?"

"Ah?"

The other Cultivator, caught off guard by the random question, hesitated for a while before answering uncertainly, "The Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion is under the sea, right where the Purple Thunder Octopus Monster was."

Upon hearing this, the Peak Martial Saint who had spoken first angrily turned his head to glare at him, and the other Cultivators also looked at him with furious eyes.

Hearing two different answers, Chu Xin couldn’t help but scratch her head, leaving greasy streaks in her black hair. Then she looked at the other Cultivators and asked, "Which one of them is right? If someone lies to me, I’ll spank their butt until it breaks."

"The Demon Flood Dragon Cave Mansion is indeed under the sea where the Purple Thunder Octopus Monster was," the Cultivators said in unison.

Since the real location was already exposed, lying wouldn’t do them much good and would only anger the rascal, so they chose to tell the truth.

Chu Xin looked at the first Cultivator who had answered and said angrily, "So it was you who lied to me?"
