Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 259 - 257: Indeed a Bad Guy, the State Mansion Must Be Emptied

"Great, great, great! I love emptying treasures the most."

Chu Chen clapped his chubby little hands, brimming with excitement.

"Come with me."

Chu Xin’s snowy little hand waved, leading Chu Chen away from the pack of brats to a secluded corner. She summoned a Battle Body, changed her hair to black to match Chu Chen’s, and together they headed for the Transmission Array.

Soon after, she summoned the remaining seven Battle Bodies, along with Chu Chen’s seven, and they departed, spreading out in various directions across State City, beginning to dig.

The fourteen Battle Bodies dug their way to the underground of the State Mansion, and located the Guardian Formation’s Array Base as well as buildings like the Treasure Pavilion and Hidden Skill Pavilion, but they did not make their move yet.

They were waiting. If the State Governor made a move against those two Battle Bodies, they would dig out the Array Base and empty the treasures. If the State Governor did not act against them, Chu Xin and Chu Chen would simply reclaim these Battle Bodies.

"Hello there, kids, are you not accompanied by any adults?"

The guard overseeing the Transmission Array, spotting Chu Xin and Chu Chen, had a flicker of something strange in his eyes.

"No!"

Chu Xin shook her head.

The guard’s eyes gleamed more intensely as he asked, "Where are you heading to?"

"To Central State."

Chu Chen spoke up.

"Alright, it costs a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones per person to go to Central State," said the guard.

"Spirit Stones?"

Chu Xin rummaged through the Sumeru Ring for a while before taking out a stone and asking, "Is this what you’re talking about?"

"Top-grade Spirit Stones?"

The guard’s face filled with shock, and then he nodded, "One top-grade Spirit Stone is worth a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, I owe you ninety-eight thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."

With that, he waved his hand, and a Storage Bag appeared out of nowhere. After handing it to Chu Xin, he said, "There are ninety-eight thousand low-grade Spirit Stones in here, please count them."

"No need."

Chu Xin put the Storage Bag into the Sumeru Ring and urged, "Uncle, when can we take the Transmission Array and leave?"

"Just a moment, it will be quick."

Although the guard said that, he deliberately slowed his pace. It looked as if he was activating the Transmission Array, but in reality, he had secretly sent a message to the State Governor.

The next moment, a man appeared out of thin air, wearing a kindly smile as he asked, "What brings two little friends to Central State?"

"Just for fun."

Chu Chen blinked his large eyes, his face the picture of innocence.

"Uncle, who are you? Are you also going to Central State?"

Chu Xin asked curiously.

The man’s eyes shifted, and he nodded, "Yes, how about I take you to Central State?"

"Sure, sure,"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded eagerly.

The man glanced at the guard, who understood what was going on and pretended to activate the Transmission Array. Then, with Rule Power, the man secretly teleported Chu Xin and Chu Chen directly to the State Mansion.

"Uncle, is this Central State?"

Chu Xin asked, puzzled.

The man smiled and responded, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Long Yufan, State Governor of Thunder State. I invited you two little friends to my State Mansion because there’s something I need to confirm."

"This isn’t Central State."

Chu Chen’s face was a picture of disappointment, and he said angrily, "You big bad guy, you tricked us."

Long Yufan’s smile remained as he asked, "Lei Zhan and his people, they were chasing you, weren’t they?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xin’s face grew wary, but she feigned ignorance and said, "I don’t know them at all."

Long Yufan, seeing her expression, was fairly certain of the two’s identities and spoke softly, "You two little friends need not be nervous. I have a grudge against them, and as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I can help you deal with them."

"Really?"

Chu Chen’s eyes widened, his face filled with skepticism.

"Of course,"

Long Yufan nodded firmly, "but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Chu Xin asked curiously.

Long Yufan said with a smile, "I’ve heard you have two Divine Artifacts on you. I’m not greedy; I just want one. How does that sound?"

"Are you also after our Divine Artifacts?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen immediately became guarded.

Long Yufan shook his head, "If they capture you, you’ll not only lose one Divine Artifact, but also your lives. Now, you only need to give up one Divine Artifact, and you can save your lives and the other Divine Artifact. Why not do it?" Your journey continues with novelbuddy

He wasn’t a fool—the two little kids who looked no older than three or four were capable of killing a Peak Martial Saint in seconds and possessed Divine Artifacts; their background was surely not simple.

If not for the overwhelming temptation of the Divine Artifact, he truly wouldn’t want to provoke an unknown formidable enemy during such a critical time.

If an agreement could be reached, he could obtain a Divine Artifact for free. Even if their elders found out later, he had a justification. Besides, no matter what, he could be seen as having indirectly saved them; hence, their elders would not feel good about attacking him.

But if he directly stole their Divine Artifacts, that would be a different matter altogether.

Of course, if the two little kids didn’t agree, he would have no choice but to opt for the latter.

After all, the allure of a Divine Artifact was far too great.

Chu Xin looked at Chu Chen, thought for a bit, and said, "Uncle, could you let me discuss this with my little brother?"

"Sure, there’s no rush."

Upon hearing this, Long Yufan felt hopeful and agreed, casually sipping his tea.

After whispering among themselves for a moment, Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked up at Long Yufan and said, "Uncle, we can agree to your conditions, but you must set up a Prohibition here. Ideally, it should block the probing of Emperor’s Thought. Otherwise, if the aura of the Divine Artifact leaks out, it could bring us trouble we don’t need."

"Naturally."

Long Yufan nodded. Even if Chu Xin hadn’t mentioned it, he would have done so to prevent Lei Zhan and the others from noticing.

He then waved his hand to set up a Prohibition, and said, "It’s done."

"Wait a minute."

Chu Xin said with a mischievous grin.

Long Yufan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t urge them on. After all, the two little rascals were right there; they couldn’t possibly run away under his nose. Additionally, the Prohibition he had just set up was not only to block Emperor’s Thought but also to prevent the two from escaping.

"Just as I thought, a bad guy,"

Chu Xin murmured to herself, having realized the State Governor’s motive was to obtain the Divine Artifacts on them; he was a bad guy. Thus, the plan to empty out the State Mansion had begun.

Fourteen Battle Bodies, four tasked with digging out the Array Base, while the others attacked the Hidden Skill Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, and the Alchemy Pavilion.

Normally, Long Yufan would have detected such activity immediately, but his own Prohibition blocked even the Emperor’s Thought, so naturally, the sounds of the skirmish were also blocked, leaving no sign of anything unusual.

Without his intervention, the other Cultivators in the State Mansion, even a Peak Martial Saint, stood no chance against those rambunctious kid Battle Bodies.

Meanwhile, the true forms of Chu Xin and Chu Chen, having once again changed their appearances, headed towards the Transmission Array.

"Eh? Sister, isn’t that ’Mommy’ uncle?"

Suddenly, Chu Chen pointed ahead at a man hurrying by, asking with bewilderment.

Chu Xin turned to look and could only see the man’s profile, which was nothing like ’Mommy’ uncle’s, but his aura was identical.

"Could it be that he, like us, has changed his appearance?"

Chu Xin blinked and scratched her head, "Never mind him; we better hurry on our way."

"Yes!"

Chu Chen nodded, and the two swiftly headed towards the Transmission Array.
