Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Yay, Grandpa also thinks I'm right, doesn't he?"

Chu Xin exclamed joyously, sucking up the water from the Divine Sword Pond with even greater vigor.

"You…"

The old Artifact Spirit's lips moved, as he was about to say something, but Chu Chen interrupted him.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we can't drink this water, nor can we use it to wash dishes or clean the grill, it's completely useless. We won't want it." Chu Chen said with a look of disdain.

"I…"

The old Artifact Spirit trembled, too angry to speak.

How could they claim this liquified Sword Energy was utterly useless?

Many Sword Dao prodigies, even Sword Dao masters yearned to use the Sword Pond to temper their bodies and refine their Sword Intent. How had these two rascals reduced it to nothing?

But on reflection, these two rascals had even eaten the Rune Characters from the Divine Sword Pavilion's plaque, and used the Water of Purification, a rare treasure, to wash Ancient Treasures; evidently, the water from the Sword Pond wasn't much use to them after all.

Two little freaks.

The old Artifact Spirit muttered under his breath and didn't continue to intervene, merely sighing internally about what kind of person their father was, to have so many treasures to waste on these two rascals.

And what kind of strength did their father possess, to have raised such abnormal children?

The Sword Intent embodied in the three characters of Divine Sword Pavilion was something even the regular deities of the past Pavilion dared not touch, yet those two rascals had eaten them directly!

Even now, he found it utterly baffling.

Could their father possibly be an Ancient God who has survived to this day?

Impossible!

This thought had barely surfaced before the old Artifact Spirit dismissed it; all Ancient Gods had perished in the Ancient War, and even the Ancient Divine Realm had been shattered.

The gods of the Divine Sword Pavilion had been completely obliterated in that war.

And in this era, he had never sensed the presence of any deity.

If not a deity, then how did their father manage to raise such monstrous children?

The old Artifact Spirit shook his head, filled with confusion.

"It's almost sucked dry; I see the Sword Beasts now!"

Just then, Chu Chen's childish voice rang out.

The old Artifact Spirit came to his senses and looked intently, only to see that the vast water of the Divine Sword Pool had been drained to leave just a thin layer at the bottom.

Find adventures at empire

The numerous Sword Beasts, having lost their hiding places, gathered at the bottom, glaring ferociously at the two young troublemakers.

The old Artifact Spirit's mouth twitched slightly as he reminded, "Don't forget to release the water later."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Of course, Grandpa, we never lie," Chu Chen nodded.

Chu Xin's eyes widened as she stared at the densely packed Sword Beasts at the bottom, her excitement brimming over, "Wow! So much meat, it's all mine."

"Sister, don't kill them; just catch them all and freeze them," Chu Chen reminded.

Freezing after killing would degrade the meat, and it wouldn't taste as good as fresh.

However, if frozen alive, they could be revived upon thawing, and then slaughtered for a taste as good as fresh.

"Alright,"

Chu Xin responded, leaping into the air and landing at the bottom of the pond; with a wave of her snowy white hand and in her childlike voice, she shouted, "Come here, I won't kill you now."

The Sword Beasts, having sensed that this little demon had drained the pool, thereby stripping them of their habitat, roared furiously and charged directly at her upon her arrival.

Among this group of Sword Beasts were some Sword Fish Chu Xin had eaten before, along with other fish-shaped varieties, all of different forms, which dazzled her eyes.

"Forget it, knock them all out first,"

Chu Xin muttered, her snow-white hand forming a Sword technique; countless streams of Sword Qi hovered, merging in the air to form numerous tiny Sword Energy White Apes.

Countless White Apes, walking on legs made of Sword Qi, stormed into the crowd of Sword Beasts, their enormous fists of Sword Qi swinging, knocking every Sword Beast unconscious.

Even the Sword Intent within these Sword Beasts was suppressed by the Sword Intent of the Sword Energy White Apes, unable to release the slightest bit.

Seeing this scene, the Artifact Spirit elder was once again shocked.

The child's ability to control Sword Qi had once again exceeded his expectations.

He became even more certain in his heart that this child might truly be destined for the Divine Sword Pavilion.

At that moment, Chu Xin waved her small hand and released the Earth Evil Yin Spring, preparing to use it to freeze those stunned Sword Beasts.

"Earth Evil Yin Spring?"

The Artifact Spirit elder was taken aback, then cautioned, "Young friend, although the Earth Evil Yin Spring can freeze, it will erode the consciousness of the Sword Beasts."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot."

Chu Xin quickly retracted the Earth Evil Yin Spring, turned her head to Chu Chen, and said, "Brother, we don't have anything to freeze with."

Chu Chen also paused momentarily, then sighed like a little adult, "We might as well kill them all."

If they couldn't be frozen, these Sword Beasts would still have vital breath, and they couldn't be put into the Sumeru Ring.

Once frozen, the vital breath would also be sealed, indistinguishable from dead objects before thawing.

The Artifact Spirit elder's eyes rolled around and he took out a bracelet, saying, "This item is not an Ancient Treasure, but it is an ice-element Emperor Weapon left over by a Frost Power Sword Cultivator in the past. It's heavily damaged and only retains the freezing effect; I'll give it to you. Just remember to put back the Sword Pond Water later."

The Divine Sword Fruit needs to constantly absorb the Sword Qi and Sword Intent from the Divine Sword Pond, and too long a break might cause problems.

The Divine Sword Fruit is key in determining the destined ones for the Divine Sword Pavilion.

Although over the years, many have consumed the Divine Sword Fruit, none have met the requirements of the Divine Sword Pavilion's destined one, yet he still had to ensure each Divine Sword Fruit matured properly.

"Wow! Thank you, grandpa. I'll grill some extra meat for you later."

After thanking him, Chu Chen passed the bracelet to his sister, Chu Xin.

Chu Xin infused the bracelet with Divine Rune Power, and a burst of bitterly cold Frost Power spread, freezing all the stunned Sword Beasts.

This was pure Frost Power, which would only freeze and not erode the consciousness of the creatures.

Chu Xin waved her snow-white little hand, and all the frozen Sword Beasts were collected into the Sumeru Ring.

Then her body flashed, disappearing as she followed behind the Sword Energy White Apes.

Just as Chu Xin had collected nearly all the Sword Beasts from the Divine Sword Pond, the group also reached the deepest part of the pond.

By then, the water in the Divine Sword Pond was almost entirely collected, and the mist of Sword Qi that lingered above the pond also dissipated.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the sibling duo, hearing the domineering sound of a dragon's roar, both looked up. At the deepest part of the Divine Sword Pond stood a tree about thirty feet tall, its dense roots embedded in the bottom of the pond.

The tree's trunk was straight, its tip sharp, resembling a Divine Sword.

On the straight trunk, there was a straight branch on each side, their tips also sharp, resembling slanted long swords.

The rest of the tree was bare, except near the tips of these two branches, where each bore a long oval fruit.

The fruit was pointed at the top, the tail had two sword-shaped small leaves on either side, and the stalk connecting the fruit to the branch made it look like a small sword.

The stalk served as the hilt, and the fruit as the blade.

At the time, the fruit was unripe and the stalk, though at the upper end of the branch, hung down limply.

However, the fruit pulsed with strong Sword Intent.

Of course, what most attracted their attention was the lifelike golden Divine Dragon coiling around the tree's roots.

"Sister, is that dragon real?"

Chu Chen asked curiously.

"I don't know."

Chu Xin stared at the dragon, shook her head after looking for a long time.

The dragon's aura merged with that of the tree, making it difficult for her to discern whether it was real or fake.

Roar!

Just then, the dragon suddenly raised its head, opened its huge dragon eyes, and let out an angry roar at the siblings, its terrifying Dragon Power sweeping towards them.
