Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 142 Sister, Shall We Roast the Five Thunder Tree?

Pfft!

Upon hearing these words, Lei Wanjun spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, his eyes filled with endless fury and desolation.

As the Young Thunder Saint, the lightning hadn't done him much harm; it had only temporarily paralyzed his body.

But Chu Chen's words had directly caused him to burst an internal blood vessel in frustration.

To think that I, the fifth Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou, would end up in such a state.

Oh heavens, why do you treat me this way? Why did I have to encounter these two despicable brats?

If he could start over, he would rather give up competing for the Thunder Fruits than meet these two damn kids.

He screamed silently in his heart, a tear slipping from the corner of his eye.

"Yikes! Are you crying now?"

Chu Chen placed the Five Thunder Tree to one side, squatted next to Lei Wanjun, and looking at the tear in his eye, his own eyes brimmed with scorn, "I stopped crying when I was just two, and here you are, a grown man, weeping. Aren't you embarrassed?"

Pfft!

Lei Wanjun, overwhelmed with emotion, vomited another mouthful of blood and glared at Chu Chen with resentment. Unfortunately, his body was numb and he couldn't move a muscle, not even to block out his hearing.

"Oh dear, why are you spitting up blood again? Were you hit by that lightning? But that lightning wasn't so strong, how could it make you spit blood? Aren't you a Young Martial Saint? How could you be so frail?" Chu Chen rambled on ceaselessly, his tone tinged with a hint of puzzlement.

Pfft!

Lei Wanjun's spitting of blood became even more severe.

If it wasn't for being severely injured by you two brats, how could I have been struck by that lightning?

"How come the more you spit, the more severe it gets? Oh right, you're also a Young Thunder Saint, cultivating the Power of Thunder and Lightning, so how could you be vomiting blood from lightning? Look at me, I practice with the sword, and I've never been sliced to the point of vomiting blood," Chu Chen said, his large eyes blinking with full disdain.

Ah! Why won't you damned Thunder Beasts attack and strike dead these accursed brats?

Lei Wanjun's mentality had collapsed, and as he watched the Thunder Beasts circle in the sky, he cursed them silently in his heart.

Unfortunately, those Thunder Beasts had mostly come to their senses after the Five Thunder Tree was tied up, and they were even more frightened by Chu Xin and Chu Chen's attacks; they just didn't want to leave as they wished to rescue the Five Thunder Tree.

Seeing Lei Wanjun's spitting getting worse, Chu Chen quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't spit blood, give me the Array you just laid out. My sister said it was quite powerful, and since we've never seen it before, I'd like to play with it."

So he was after the Demon Array.

Normally, Lei Wanjun would definitely not be willing to part with it, but at this moment all he wanted was to flee this hellish place and get away from the two detestable brats.

Once he had regained some strength, he took out a carved stone, which recorded the layout and effects of the Demon Array.

After throwing the carved stone on the ground, he took to the air, flying away awkwardly in the distance.

Watching his wretched figure, the other Heavenly Prides fell into silence for a long time, speechless.

The Thunder Beasts were after Chu Xin and Chu Chen and did not stop Lei Wanjun.

Chu Chen didn't chase after him either. He picked up the carved stone from the ground, glanced at it, and then stashed it inside the Sumeru Ring. Then he turned his gaze to the Five Thunder Tree tied up beside him, extending the finger that wore the Sumeru Ring toward the tree, intending to place it into the ring.

However, after several tries, he failed.

"Why can't I get it in?"

Chu Chen fell into deep thought.

"Silly brother, father says the Sumeru Ring can't hold living things, and since the tree can run on its own, it must be alive," explained Chu Xin, landing lightly from above and tapping Chu Chen's head gently.

"I see."

Chu Chen had an epiphany, his chubby little hand touching his small chin, muttering, "Then how do we take this thing with us? We can't carry it around forever, right? It's alive? So, is it a Demon Beast? I wonder if it can be grilled and eaten."

"Eat the tree? I've never had that before; it might be worth a try," Chu Xin remarked, her delicate chin in her hands, her round eyes shining brightly.

Hearing the siblings' conversation, the branches and roots of the bound Five Thunder Tree couldn't help but tremble.

"Never mind, let's just bundle it up and have it bear fruits for us to eat," Chu Xin decided after some thought, ultimately abandoning the idea of eating the tree.

"Where should we put it?" Chu Chen scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

"The Divine Sword Pavilion would work, but that big liar of a grandpa is still sleeping, and I can't get into the Divine Sword Pavilion."

As Chu Xin spoke, she pondered for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. She asked, "Brother, your Stone Milk Space can also store living things, right? Why not try putting the Five Thunder Tree inside?"

"Sure!"

Chu Chen nodded, tried using the Stone Milk Space, and to his surprise, it actually worked.

"It really works, ha."

Chu Chen's consciousness entered the Stone Milk Space, lifted the Prohibition on the Five Thunder Tree, and saw the Five Thunder Tree fiercely shake its branches and roots as it plunged into the Stone Milk Lake, greedily absorbing the Stone Milk.

This Stone Milk was a pure form of energy, free of any Sword Intent, so naturally the Five Thunder Tree could absorb it.

"Hey, hey, hey, drink less, don't finish it all on me."

Chu Chen shouted loudly.

On hearing this, the Five Thunder Tree's branches quivered, and the speed at which it absorbed the Stone Milk also slowed down.

Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Five Thunder Tree and the Stone Milk Lake, then withdrew his consciousness.

"Sister, it's done."

Chu Chen clapped his hands, stood up, and looked at the Thunder Beasts above his head that had become restless and uneasy due to the disappearance of the Five Thunder Tree. He said, "Sister, how about we capture all of them and keep them in the Stone Milk Space? Like the aunties and uncles in the village who raise big pigs and big chickens, we could fatten them up and then kill them for food."

"Good idea."

Chu Xin nodded her head.

The siblings quickly agreed and soared into the air together, throwing heaps of Talismans at the Thunder Beasts, which turned into countless ropes that bound the Thunder Beasts.

In an instant, a small portion of the Thunder Beasts were subdued, and the rest scattered and fled.

The Five Thunder Tree was gone; they naturally had no reason to keep fighting.

Chu Chen collected all the subdued Thunder Beasts into the Stone Milk Space. The previously panicked Thunder Beasts, upon seeing the Five Thunder Tree rooted in the Stone Milk Lake, immediately became excited.

After being freed, they took to the air, circling around the Five Thunder Tree.

The branches and roots of the Five Thunder Tree shuddered, and lightning in five colors spread across the sky of the Stone Milk Space, filling the vast expanse in moments.

"It feels like we should rename this place the Five Thunder Space,"

muttered Chu Chen to himself.

"Brother, I want to eat grilled steak."

Just then, Chu Xin had already shown up carrying the carcass of a five-colored bull.

"Sure!"

Chu Chen nodded his head, immersing himself in the task of preparing the five-colored bull for a feast.

The other Heavenly Prides looked at each other, speechless. Those two really loved to eat.

Before the fight for the Five Thunder Fruits, they ate; and after it was over, they were still eating.

"Let's go."

The Heavenly Prides broke through the air to leave, planning to find a safe place to heal.

"Grilled beef? Is there a piece for me?"

Long Shaoyu and his companions arrived, breaking through the air.

Yin!

A dragon's roar sounded, and a two-headed piglet dashed out from Long Shaoyu's embrace.

Ever since it had tasted the Thunderhawk Blood Soup, the creature had fallen into deep slumber, only waking up not long ago. It had become somewhat stronger but hadn't experienced a breakthrough.

It looked at the enormous five-colored bull, drool running from both its piggy mouths.

If it could eat a bit of the five-colored bull's meat, it should be able to break through to the Seventh Rank's peak.
