Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"I'm going to save Mother," said Chu Xin, glancing back at Chu Feng, and after speaking, she turned her head away huffily.

"Right, we're going to save Mother," echoed Chen'er, also turning back for a moment before turning away again.

"Feeling itchy for a spanking, are we?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow and rolled up his sleeves.

Chu Xin and Chen'er instinctively covered their little behinds, then Chu Xin's little mouth puckered, tears swirling in her eyes, voice trembling with hurt, "I don't want to be a child without a mother."

Seeing his sister on the verge of crying, Chen'er burst into tears as well, crying out loud, "Wuwu, I want Mother, all the brothers and sisters in the village have mothers, only sister and I don't have one."

Chu Feng's sleeve-rolling hand paused, and he sighed softly in his heart.

Although he thought he had taken good care of the two little ones over the past three years, he knew he could never replace their mother's love.

"Wuwu! We're so pitiful, we have no mother's love, and now Father wants to scold us too," cried Chu Xin, her distress palpable.

"Yeah, yeah," said Chen'er, nodding vigorously while wiping away tears in agreement.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll go find Mother and you two stay home and be good, okay?"

Faced with the tearful assault of the two adorable kids, Chu Feng finally admitted defeat, clumsily hoisting them both up and gently comforted them.

"Father has said that many times already."

Chu Xin sobbed.

"Right, many times, but not once was it true," Chen'er chimed in.

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Chu Feng's mouth as he said softly, "This time it's definitely true, but it might take quite a while. You need to wait patiently at home and don't run off."

He didn't know how long suppressing the Ancient Blood Demon Seal would take, and there was even the possibility that the Ancient Blood Demon might break through the seal midway. If that happened, he would be the first to be devoured.

"Really?"

Chu Xin and Chen'er looked at Chu Feng with a mix of doubt and hope, tears still hovering in their eyes.

"Of course it's true. Why would Father lie to you?"

Chu Feng spoke with utter sincerity.

Chu Xin cocked her head, pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright then, I'll believe Father one more time."

"I believe Father too."

Chen'er added, nodding his little head.

"That's my good children."

Seeing that the siblings had finally stopped crying, Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief, sat down, and placed one child on each knee. Smiling, he said, "Come on, tell Father about your experiences during this time."

"Okay!"

Chu Xin and Chen'er wiped away their tears and began chattering about their experiences, taking turns in lively conversation.

Chu Feng listened quietly to the vivid stories of the children, a gentle smile on his face.

After the children had finished talking, he spoke up, "Release Jin Hong."

"Oh!"

Chu Xin nodded her head and, with a wave of her small, snowy hand, let Jin Hong out of the Divine Coffin.

"I've seen you, senior."

Upon seeing Chu Feng, Jin Hong guessed that he was the man who had destroyed ten emperors with a single palm strike and quickly paid his respects.

"No need for formalities,"

Chu Feng said indifferently, "This village's location must remain a secret. I initially intended to kill you. But Xin'er said you're a good man and asked me not to. Therefore, from now on, you'll stay in the village and not take a step outside."

"This!"

Jin Hong was taken aback and then drew a deep breath, bowing with a fist in hand, "Senior, please forgive me for not being able to comply."

"Oh? You're not afraid of death?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Afraid!"

Jin Hong nodded, but there was a resolute look in his eyes, "As an Inspector of Jiuzhou, I have important information to report to the Empress. It concerns the fate of Jiuzhou. I must leave this place."

Chu Feng looked at him and said coolly, "Give me your information, and I will pass it on to the Empress. But you, you cannot leave the village. You have no choice in the matter. I've laid down Prohibitions around this village that even the Martial God would have a hard time breaking in a short period of time. Don't even think about running."

After returning, he had upgraded the Prohibition of Big Stone Village and also set the most sophisticated Spirit Gathering Array, making the Spiritual Energy here extremely rich.

"Even a Martial God would struggle to break through?"

"This person must also be a Martial God."

Jin Hong fell silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice, "Can I trust the senior?"

Chu Feng spoke with a light tone, "The Empire's Guardian God has sought me out."

Jin Hong's body trembled, as if he understood something.

There were rumors that the Empire's Guardian God was about to ascend and some said he had left the Empire to search for the land of ascension, while others said he was looking for a new Guardian God.

Since the old Martial God had sought out the person before him, it was highly likely that this person was the new Guardian God chosen by the old Martial God.

The person recognized by the old Martial God was naturally trustworthy.

"In that case, I will trouble the senior to hand over this Jade Scroll to Her Majesty."

After some thought, Jin Hong took out a Jade Scroll and spoke with a heavy tone.

"Hmm!"

Chu Feng accepted the Jade Scroll, then turned to look at Chu Xin and Chen'er, saying, "Xin'er, Chen'er, take him for a stroll around the village."

"Yes, Daddy."

Chu Xin and Chen'er nodded together, then turned to Jin Hong and said, "Auntie Uncle, we'll take you to meet the people in the village – they're all very nice."

Auntie Uncle?

What a chaotic mess of a title.

Chu Feng called out with a face full of lines, "Also, you two little ones, change the way you address others from now on, you can only call him Uncle, understand?"

"Why?"

Chu Xin and Chen'er looked puzzled.

Jin Hong felt a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"No reason."

Chu Feng said with a stern face.

This title was indeed somewhat uncomfortable to hear, especially when addressed in front of him.

"Alright."

Chu Xin and Chen'er nodded.

Suddenly, a huge golden light surged from afar straight towards the sky, and the people of Jiuzhou could all see that golden light. Everyone looked up, vaguely making out a figure within the golden light ascending to the heavens.

"Is someone ascending?"

"Is it the Empire's Guardian God? Only he has reached the Martial God Realm."

"With the Guardian God ascending, who will protect the Empire from now on?"

The people of Jiuzhou were abuzz with discussion, shocked yet also feeling a trace of anxiety.

Everyone could feel that Jiuzhou was now unstable; with the Guardian God present, those harboring malicious intent dared not act recklessly. But if the Guardian God were to ascend, those people would no longer have any reservations.

"He has ascended so soon?"

Chu Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had wanted to spend more time at home with the two children, but he hadn't expected the old Martial God to ascend so quickly.

Under the gaze of all in Jiuzhou, the figure of the old Martial God disappeared into the sky, seemingly having ascended to divinity.

"No, how could this be? I will not let you succeed."

However, at that moment, a roar came from the sky, "Seal the Gate of Ascension!"

A golden light burst forth in the sky, spreading across the entirety of Jiuzhou, enveloping it in an instant.

"Courting death!"

Another unfamiliar roar followed, and then the old Martial God's scream was heard.

At that moment, it seemed as if everyone felt that Jiuzhou had lost something.

Hum!

A golden orb fell from the sky into the Imperial City, and three streams of golden light drifted towards Longzhou.
