Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 220 - 218: The Greedy and Money-Hungry Child

In the State Sea, the Divine Coffin swiftly moved through the water, projecting the surrounding marine environment inside it.

"The Demon Beasts in the sea are so pretty."

Chu Chen gazed at the fish-like Demon Beasts that occasionally swam by in the projection, his large round eyes full of delight, "When we get home, I’ll have dad make a big fish tank and catch a lot of big fish to raise."

"A fish tank? How many can that hold?"

Chu Xin looked at him disdainfully, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Let’s have dad dig up the snow field behind the village and make a super, super big lake. That way, we can raise a lot of sea fish."

"Yes, yes, yes, sister is smart."

Chu Chen clapped his chubby hands excitedly.

The cultivator from Thunder State heard them and was speechless. Only these two rascals would think of penning sea Demon Beasts.

Sea Demon Beasts were accustomed to seawater and would considerably weaken and might even die if they were away from the seawater for too long.

Even those that reached Eight Rank couldn’t stay away from the sea for an extended period.

Unless they reached Ninth Rank and transformed into a human form, they could freely leave.

Chu Chen stroked his chin, muttering softly, "I need to give it a nice name, let’s call it Big Stone Lake."

"What a trashy name, it sounds terrible."

Chu Xin’s tone was full of contempt.

"Then what would you name it?"

Chu Chen was somewhat unconvinced. The village’s name was Big Stone Village, so calling it Big Stone Lake sounded pretty good to him.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xin said, "How about ’Wind and Starlight’?"

"What kind of name is that? It doesn’t sound as good as mine," Chu Chen grumbled.

Chu Xin widened her round eyes and explained, "Wind is dad, Star is me, and Chen is you. This name represents dad and us. You dare say this name isn’t nice?"

"Oh, I see."

Chu Chen blinked his large eyes but did not dare to say the words "not nice", afraid he might get hit.

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Sister, why didn’t you include our mom too?"

Chu Xin rolled her eyes and said irritably, "How would I know mom’s name? We’ll just add it when we find her, right?"

"Oh!"

Chu Chen nodded.

Chu Xin placed one hand on her hip and pointed at Chu Chen’s forehead with the other, speaking in a disappointed tone, "I always tell you to read more, but you never listen. Now do you see the difference between you and me?"

"Hehe!"

Chu Chen chuckled dryly and turned his head to look at the Thunder State cultivator who was eavesdropping nearby, glaring, "Haven’t we reached the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain yet?"

"Ah?"

The cultivator from Thunder State came back to his senses and said with a bitter face, "My friend, I’ve never traveled through this sea before either. How would I recognize the way here in the sea?"

Chu Xin took out a State Sea Compass, asking in confusion, "Don’t you have a State Sea Compass?"

Seeing his sister’s attention diverted, Chu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He felt secretly pleased with himself, thinking how smart he was to have avoided another lengthy lecture from his sister.

The cultivator from Thunder State glanced at the compass Chu Xin held in her hand, then took out his own and said, "Yes, I do have one, but my compass is of too low a level; it’s useless in the sea itself and only works on the surface."

"Why didn’t you say that earlier?"

Chu Chen glared with wide eyes, his voice full of frustration.

The Divine Coffin was incredibly fast; by now, they had no idea where it had gone.

The cultivator from Thunder State made a pained face and chuckled awkwardly. "You siblings were chatting this whole time, and I didn’t want to interrupt."

Chu Xin waved her pale hand, and the compass floated in front of the cultivator from Thunder State, as she said, "Use mine."

The cultivator from Thunder State spoke hesitantly, "Young friend, well, I’ve never used such a high-level compass before. I’m afraid I might not operate it correctly and set the wrong destination."

"What a hassle."

Chu Xin muttered quietly before forming a hand formation. The Divine Coffin rapidly ascended, breaking out of the sea within moments and hovering above the surface, its surroundings projected inside the coffin. She then urged, "Look, which way to go?"

"Okay!"

The cultivator from Thunder State nodded, touched the compass, and as he channeled True Qi into it, the needle began to move. After a moment, he pointed in a direction and said, "Good, we haven’t strayed too far. Let’s head this way."

Chu Xin nodded and steered the Divine Coffin rapidly in the direction indicated by the cultivator from Thunder State, leaving behind expanding ripples in the water.

"We’re here! This is the place."

An hour later, the cultivator from Thunder State spoke excitedly.

Although he had visited the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain many times before, he had always been intensely nervous and uneasy on this journey, fearing he’d lead them astray and provoke the young siblings to thrash him in their anger.

"We’ve arrived?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked at the sea domain projected inside, curiosity evident in their eyes.

The cultivator from Thunder State nodded and said, "Yes, this is the perimeter of the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain. I’ve only been to its outer edges, never inside. After all, with my level of cultivation, encountering any slightly powerful Demon Beast would be certain death. But I’ve heard from seniors in my sect that there’s an island called Demon Flood Dragon Island within the sea domain. The true lair of the Demon Flood Dragon lies beneath the island in the depths of the sea, where many treasures collected by the Demon Flood Dragon are hidden, including an eighth-rank treasure created by the aura of the Demon Flood Dragon, called the Demon Flood Dragon Stone."

"Demon Flood Dragon Stone? What’s that?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

The cultivator from Thunder State explained, "It’s a kind of spirit stone, though I’ve never seen one myself, only read about it in ancient texts. The Demon Flood Dragon Stone is pitch black with a shadow of a flood dragon inside, containing highly pure black Thunder Rule Power. It’s the best treasure for a Peak Martial Saint of the Thunder Dao to break through to Martial Emperor, and even a Martial Emperor of the Thunder Dao could refine their own Thunder Rule Power with it. It’s just too bad that while the Demon Flood Dragon was alive, almost no one got their hands on the Demon Flood Dragon Stone."

"Even Martial Emperors couldn’t get it?" Chu Xin asked, puzzled.

The cultivator from Thunder State explained, "That Demon Flood Dragon was a Peak Middle Stage eighth-rank Demon Beast, able to exert the strength of a late eighth-rank in the sea. Among the Martial Emperors of Canglei State and the other states, only the State Governor of Cangzhou had reached the late stage of Martial Emperor, and that was only recently, so naturally, no one could defeat the Demon Flood Dragon in the sea."

"What about the Martial Emperors from other states? Don’t they come to compete for the treasures?" Chu Chen asked.

The cultivator from Thunder State shook his head and said, "According to the laws of the Jiuzhou Empire, Martial Emperors are not allowed to rashly seize resources from other states, or they will face retaliation from the Martial Emperors of all states. Such as the Canglei State Sea, it belongs to both Cangzhou and Thunder State, and the Martial Emperors from these two states can compete for treasures in this sea domain, but others cannot intervene."

"What a strange law," said Chu Xin and Chu Chen, both expressing their inability to understand.

"Forget it, we’re not Martial Emperors. Let’s head to Demon Flood Dragon Island."

Chu Xin waved her pale hand, and the Divine Coffin raced toward the center of the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain.

Outside the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain, a nine-colored deer stood on the surface of the sea, its voice gentle yet resonant.

"These two troublemakers have actually come to the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Domain, a pair of little gluttons, a couple of little treasure hoarders. There’s no aura of Martial Emperors in the sea domain yet, so I’ll just block any human Martial Emperors at the perimeter."
