Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 415 413 Empress Dowager: Matchmaking the Empress to be a Stepmother is Not Bad Either
The female prisoner looked at the two little ones and couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face; these two kids were simply too adorable.
Chu Xin looked up at the female prisoner, blinked her round eyes, and asked, "So, you really aren't our mother?"
"I'm not!"
The female prisoner shook her head.
Chu Chen's lips pouted, and with a sobbing tone, he said, "But Daddy said that Mommy was locked up in the Imperial City, how can you not be her! Wah-wah!"
In the end, he couldn't hold back and burst into loud sobs.
He had come to break into the prison full of hope, thinking he could find the mother he had longed for, but to his dismay, he had found the wrong person again.
Chu Xin's eyes were brimming with tears too; even the strongest children struggled to hold back at this moment.
The female prisoner was always very composed and calm, but now, faced with two little ones crying their hearts out, she seemed a bit flustered and hastily consoled them, "Don't cry, don't cry, although I'm not your mother, I can help you look for her, and I believe we'll find her very soon."
"But all the female prisoners in the Heavenly Prison are dead, you're the only one left."
Chu Xin wiped her tears while sobbing, "If you are not our mother, could it be that our mother is already dead?"
The female prisoner was stunned for a moment, at a loss for words.
"Wah!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen cried even more desperately.
"Second brother, second brother, Auntie won't die, we must have just looked in the wrong direction."
The two-headed piglet flew around Chu Chen, comforting him in a childlike voice.
The female prisoner also quickly reassured them, "Your mother won't die. There are other places for detaining prisoners in the Imperial City besides Heavenly Prison. Let's go back and continue our search; I'm sure we'll find her."
"Really?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen stared with their tearful eyes, full of hope as they asked.
"Really."
The female prisoner hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The Imperial City truly had only the Heavenly Prison for detaining offenders, but to steady the children's emotions, she felt compelled to lie.
Chu Xin wiped away her tears, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, we will definitely find Mother."
"Yes, yes!"
Chu Chen wiped his tears and nodded along.
The female prisoner, seeing the two little ones finally stop crying, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Let's get reacquainted. My name is Wang Lanxi, you can call me Granny Wang."
"Wang Lanxi? She's actually the Empress Dowager of the Jiuzhou Empire?"
Several cultivators from Longzhou inside the Divine Coffin were astonished; they hadn't expected the dignified Empress Dowager of the Empire to be detained in a dungeon in Longzhou.
"Granny Wang!"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen called her obediently.
"My name is Ai Chirou."
"My name is Ai Kaorou."
They said in unison.
Ai Chirou?
Ai Kaorou?
Wang Lanxi was slightly taken aback; the names were somewhat too hastily concocted, so blatantly fictitious that even a fool could tell they were false.
"Granny Wang, do you want some barbecued meat?"
Chu Xin took out a cherished piece of Illusion Beast meat and handed it over.
Wang Lanxi's eyes immediately lit up. Working in the mines every day in this dungeon, one wouldn't starve, but the food was never good.
The aroma of the barbecued meat was so tantalizing that merely smelling it made her mouth water and her stomach growl with hunger.
"Thank you, Ai Chirou."
She expressed her gratitude, took a bite of the meat, and her eyes widened in amazement.
"This is incredibly delicious! Who grilled this?"
She was utterly astonished. When she had smelled the aroma, she had already guessed that the grilled meat would taste good, but she didn't expect it to be this delicious — even better than the exotic delicacies she had eaten in the Imperial Palace before.
"I grilled it."
Chu Chen said with his chubby little hands, speaking in a babyish voice.
"You grilled it?"
Wang Lanxi was extremely shocked. How old was this little guy? It was already surprising that he possessed such strong cultivation, but to think he could also grill meat that was so delectable was unbelievable.
"Yes."
Chu Chen nodded and said with a grin, "This is Ninth Rank Illusion Beast meat from the Illusion God Mountain Range, tastier than the meat from ordinary Eighth Rank Demon Beasts."
Wang Lanxi's actions stopped as she was eating the grilled meat, and she looked down at the piece in her hand, shocked, "This is Ninth Rank Illusion Beast meat?"
"Yep!"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded together.
"How is that possible? Ninth Rank Illusion Beasts are the pinnacle among Illusion Beasts in the Illusion God Mountain Range, residing at the very heart of it. That's where the Illusion God's power is most concentrated, a place even I wouldn't dare to enter. Could it be that a Martial God went to hunt it? But even a Martial God couldn't possibly enter the heart of the Illusion God Mountain Range; otherwise, the old Martial God would have revealed the secrets of the mountain range long ago." Wang Lanxi's face was filled with disbelief.
"They're eating Ninth Rank Illusion Beast meat?"
"Looks like they must have hunted the Illusion Beast themselves, huh?"
"With their strength, it's not impossible for them to hunt a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast."
The cultivators inside the Divine Coffin were also full of shock but, upon reflection, these two rascals were terrifyingly strong, so it didn't seem strange that they would be capable of hunting a Ninth Rank Illusion Beast.
Apart from their strong Illusion Technique Divine Power, Ninth Rank Illusion Beasts are roughly equivalent to Eighth Rank Demon Beasts.
When they first met, it was in the Illusion God Mountain Range, and these two brats weren't affected by the Illusion God's power at all.
With such ability, Illusion Beasts' Illusion Techniques were probably useless against them.

"Granny Wang, we killed these ourselves," Chu Xin said with a giggle, "At the very heart of the Illusion God Mountain Range, there's an Illusion God Abyss full of Eighth and Ninth Rank Illusion Beasts. We've killed many of them. We've also set up Talisman Prohibition at the entrance to the abyss, so if we run out and want more, we can go back and kill a few more."
Killed many?
Go back and kill a few more if they want to eat?
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched upon hearing this — were these two rascals treating the Illusion Beasts in the Illusion God Abyss as if they were domestic livestock?
"You two are really impressive."
Wang Lanxi looked at the two little ones in astonishment and sincerely praised them.
"It's nothing much, I'm just the third best in the world," said Chu Chen, cheerfully holding up three chubby fingers, speaking in his childlike tone.
"The third best in the world? Then who are the first and the second?" Wang Lanxi asked with a smile as she continued to munch on the grilled meat.
"The second best is my sister," Chu Chen said, pointing to Chu Xin beside him.
"Oh!"
Wang Lanxi nodded, then asked, "So the best in the world isn't your daddy, is it?"
Chu Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Granny Wang, how do you know my daddy is the best in the world? Do you know my daddy?"
"No, I don't."
Wang Lanxi shook her head and laughed, "But I would like to meet him."
Both of these little ones were so formidable; their daddy must be even stronger. If he were a Martial God, then calling him the best in the world would be no exaggeration.
Getting acquainted with such a powerful being would naturally be beneficial, and if she could bring him over to her side, he could help solidify the Empire for Xiao Rou.
If there could be a bit of matchmaking, that would be even better.
Getting married to a Martial God and becoming the stepmother to two monstrous Heavenly Prides wouldn't be too bad.
After all, following the two young ones' story, she did suspect that the likelihood was high that their mother had been drafted into the cannon fodder army and died on the frontlines.
