Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 155 I like to eat the meat roasted by my younger brother, is that the correct answer?

"What do you like to eat?"

This question had already been answered in the hearts of all the Heavenly Prides; after all, the question was exceedingly simple.

But exactly because it was too simple, no one dared to step forward to answer it lightly, considering everyone had only one chance.

"Half the time has passed, and no one has stepped forward to answer the question?"

The voice of the "Guardian" rang out again, "If no one steps forward to answer when the time is up, I will regard all of you as having forfeited."

All forfeited?

The hearts of the Heavenly Prides panicked, for wouldn't that mean no one could enter the Ancient Divine Pool, nor could anyone obtain the Ancient Divine Lotus?

"I'll go first."

Finally, the young Martial Saint Liu Zhentian flew forward and ventured, "My favorite food is steamed dragon-lion head,"

After speaking, he watched the "Guardian"'s expression anxiously, and all the Heavenly Prides also awaited with bated breath.

Was this the answer the Guardian wanted?

The "Guardian" flashed a slight smile and shook his head, "Wrong answer, next."

Wrong?

Liu Zhentian hadn't seemed too surprised by the outcome, but disappointment still inevitably showed on his face as he hung his head in dejection and flew back.

"I'll give it a try."

Many more Heavenly Prides flew forward in succession, giving their answers, but without exception, they were all wrong.

Lei Wanjun, Li Yuxin, and others, including Long Shaotian, all went to answer once, and no one got it right.

"I like to eat roasted Thunder Beast."

Long Shaoyu stepped forward to answer, the Thunder Beast roasted by Ai Kaorou was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

Upon hearing "roasted Thunder Beast," the "Guardian"'s gaze flickered momentarily, but he still shook his head and said, "Wrong answer, next."

Alas!

Long Shaoyu sighed softly and flew back.

"Sister, why do I feel like this question is asking about you?"

Chu Chen sipped some Beast Milk and tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve, whispering.

"It does seem like it's asking me."

Chu Xin nodded and was about to step forward to answer.

Since answering the question and flying back, Liu Zhentian had been pondering near where Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen stood; their voices were soft, yet they did not escape the ears of this young Martial Saint.

"Is this question asking that brat? What does that brat like to eat? Roasted meat?"

A trace of contemplation appeared in Liu Zhentian's eyes, surveying all the Heavenly Prides; it seemed that no one had mentioned roasted meat. No, that's not right, Long Shaoyu had mentioned roasted Thunder Beast, and the "Guardian"'s look seemed a bit different than before.

Could it be that the correct answer is roasted meat?

With this thought, Liu Zhentian immediately flew forward, excitedly saying, "My favorite food is roasted meat."

The smile on the "Guardian"'s face instantly disappeared, and he said coldly, "Wrong answer."

Wrong again?

Liu Zhentian's eyebrows knitted tightly.

At that moment, the voice of the "Guardian" rose again, "I said, each person only has one chance."

No sooner had he spoken, he pointed a finger, and a golden light descended from the sky, striking Liu Zhentian.

"No!"

After issuing a desperate roar, Liu Zhentian turned to ash.

"Hiss!"

All the Heavenly Prides were shocked; even Long Shaotian, the number one Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou, narrowed his pupils in alarm.

Liu Zhentian was a Martial Saint, yet he was killed in an instant without even a chance to use his trump cards.

Long Shaotian knew that although he could kill Liu Zhentian, he absolutely couldn't do it so effortlessly; this "Guardian"'s strength was undoubtedly that of a Martial Emperor.

The death of Liu Zhentian caused those Heavenly Prides who were also eager to step forward for a second time to instantly calm down.

All at once, the scene fell silent.

"Such a simple question and no one can answer it? That's truly a pity."

"The Guardian" still had a gentle smile on his face, his tone tinged with what seemed like regret.

"You're asking a question that's impossible for anyone to answer; are you deliberately making things difficult for us?" a Heavenly Pride shouted angrily.

However, "The Guardian" simply ignored him and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else who would like to answer the question? If not, I'll be leaving."

"Wait, weren't there two questions?" another Heavenly Pride asked, puzzled.

"The Guardian" stated indifferently, "If the first question can't be answered, there's no need to proceed with the second one."

"This!"

The Heavenly Prides were stunned; apparently, someone had to answer the first question correctly to unlock the second one.

"What do we do? Should we just use force?"

"If you want to die, don't drag me into it. That person casually killed a Martial Saint with a flick of their finger. All of us together wouldn't be enough for them to bother killing."

The Heavenly Prides discussed among themselves, increasingly anxious.

"How can you not know the answer to such a simple question? You're really dumb."

Just then, a figure leapt forth from behind the Heavenly Prides.

"It's that bratty girl."

"That damn brat, I don't believe she can answer it correctly."

Being scorned by that brat again, all the Heavenly Prides were beyond furious.

"Then you all had better listen up."

Chu Xin looked at the Heavenly Prides with disdain before turning back to "The Guardian," and muttered to herself, "Daddy is really annoying, coming here to set up such a fun game all by himself, not even inviting me. Humph, when I get back, I'm going to ignore him for ten days. No, make that three days."

"What do you like to eat the most?"

"The Guardian" asked again, seemingly not recognizing Chu Xin.

Chu Xin calmly sipped her Beast Milk and said in a milky voice, "What I like to eat the most is the meat grilled by my brother."

"Grilled meat? Someone has already given that answer, and it was wrong."

"Exactly, this brat is just using someone else's answer to respond, this is bound to fail."

Upon hearing this answer, the Heavenly Prides all shook their heads inwardly, guessing the outcome.

"The answer… is correct."

However, what "The Guardian" said next made the Heavenly Prides freeze in shock.

"It's correct? How can it be correct? Didn't Liu Zhentian say grilled meat before, and it was wrong?" a Heavenly Pride roared in disbelief.

"No, maybe the key isn't that."

Some Heavenly Prides spoke uncertainly, "The focus might be on the meat grilled by the brother, not just grilled meat."

"The meat grilled by the brother?"

The Heavenly Prides were stunned once more, turning their heads to look at the brat leisurely drinking Beast Milk.

Could it be that "The Guardian" had some connection to him?

"You may enter now."

The smile on "The Guardian's" face seemed even brighter, and with a wave of their hand, a beam of golden light enveloped Chu Xin and drew her into the Array.

"She really went in."

The Heavenly Prides were instantly abuzz.

Entering the Array meant being able to bathe in the Ancient Divine Pool and vie for the Ancient Divine Lotus.

If no one could answer the second question correctly, no one would compete with that brat.

"What's the second question?"

A Heavenly Pride asked eagerly.

"The second question."

"The Guardian" still smiling, began, "What is your favorite dish to cook? You have the same amount of time as a stick of incense."

What is your favorite dish to cook?

The Heavenly Prides were all speechless.

Why another bizarre question? What sort of oddity was "The Guardian"?
