Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"It really smells so good."

Watching two little brats enjoying their food, and smelling the aroma of roasted meat wafting over, three young men nearby couldn't help swallowing their saliva, their eyes irresistibly drawn to the roasted pig heads.

Given their status, they had tasted all kinds of exotic delicacies but had never tried this kind of roasted meat.

This fragrance was simply more enticing than any other gourmet dish they had ever eaten.

Even though their appetites were greatly stimulated, they couldn't lower their faces to ask for some roasted meat.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were also denied the feast because they were blacklisted by the two little ones after the bow-wielding youth tried to steal the meat earlier.

"Young master, shall we take the chance while they are eating to steal the twin-headed fire swine?"

The bow-wielding youth whispered.

"Although these two little brats have some strength, they definitely aren't our match. Let's do it, young master."

Another young man whispered as well.

However, his gaze was not on the trapped twin-headed fire swine, but on the roasted pig heads at the grill, swallowing his saliva as he spoke. Read new chapters at empire

After a moment of thought, the middle young man shook his head and said, "If they could enter the Jiuzhou Secret Realm, it indicates that they are not weak. The masks on their faces even blocked my telepathic probes, clearly not ordinary. They have a remarkable origin and most likely have other means to protect themselves. Acting rashly might lead to losses. Moreover, they are so young yet powerful; they are much easier to control than those of the same age. Without my order, do not act recklessly."

After speaking, the young man strode towards Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Xin jumped forward protectively in front of the grill, spreading her small arms like a mother hen protecting her food, and asked warily, "Are you here to steal my roasted meat?"

"No, no, no, little sister, you misunderstand."

The young man quickly waved his hand and shook his head, a friendly smile appearing on his face, "I am Long Shaoyu. I was originally headed to the Fire Swine Valley and have been traversing mountains and hills for several days without a bite to eat. I had just found this twin-headed fire swine and wanted to kill it for its meat when I realized it was the food you had your eye on, little sister. I apologize for the unintentional offense."

Chu Xin tilted her head to look at the young man, noticing he was quite good-looking.

Plus, for some reason, she felt a strange familiarity with him, perhaps because he shared the last name Long with Auntie Long.

"Big brother, you also haven't eaten for days, how pitiful."

Chu Xin temporarily lowered her guard, waving her hand and said, "Come join us then. After all, cutting off this big pig's head will just make it grow back."

Long Shaoyu's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the roaring twin-headed fire swine with a trace of pity in his eyes—poor twin-headed fire swine.

He waved to the other two young men, and they hurried over, their faces filled with anticipation.

Chu Xin gave a roasted pig head each to Long Shaoyu and the other square-faced young man, but did not give one to the bow-wielding young man.

The bow-wielding young man waited a moment, and seeing that there was nothing for him, couldn't help but remind, "Um, little sister, did you forget someone? What about mine?"

Chu Xin glanced back at him and huffed, "You were trying to steal my meat just now. I can't let you have any."

"Uh!"

The bow-wielding young man's expression stiffened as he explained, "Little sister, I attacked before you showed up; I didn't even know you had claimed the twin-headed fire swine. By the time you appeared, my arrow had already been shot, and I couldn't take it back."

Chu Xin took a bite of the pig head meat, then turned back to look at the bow-wielding young man, pouting, "Then you saw the big pig spitting fire at me, and you didn't even warn me, definitely waiting for me to be burned to death so you could steal my meat. Plus look at you, not even handsome, surely no good, no kindness. Humph! Our meat is not for baddies."

"Right, our barbecue is not for baddies," Chu Chen, who was both roasting and eating meat, nodded in agreement.

"I!"

The bow-wielding young man clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately string his bow and turn this cheeky kid into a porcupine.

How did I become ugly? I'm suave and elegant!

"Even if I were not good-looking," doesn't it have anything to do with whether I am a good person?"

"Look, you're glaring at me again. Hmph, glare all you want but I won't give you any food," Chu Xin retorted with her big, round eyes glaring fiercely, her voice as soft as a baby's.

"You!"

The bow-wielding youth was so angry he was at a loss for words and could only send a pleading look toward Long Shaoyu.

Long Shaoyu cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Aren't you a bit old to be fighting over food with such young little ones? Shameful, isn't it? Go over there, sit, and reflect on your actions."

"Master..."

The bow-wielding youth was speechless, wasn't it your command to attack?

"What? You're not listening to me now?" Long Shaoyu said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, which flashed a cold glint.

The bow-wielding youth shrank his neck in fright and obediently went to sit aside, daring not to say another word.

The square-faced youth internally breathed a sigh of relief, thankful he hadn't spoken up earlier to offend these two vengeful little tykes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy such delicious barbecue.

"Ooh! So tasty."

The square-faced youth tore into another bite, his face a picture of enjoyment.

This was not just to please the two youngsters, it genuinely came from the heart.

The bow-wielding youth glared fiercely at the square-faced youth, knowing all too well he wouldn't get any barbecue yet still making such loud enjoyment sounds, the jerk was definitely doing it on purpose.

Long Shaoyu took a bite as well and was equally astonished, "I've never tasted such good barbecue before, little brother, who taught you to cook like this?"

"Learned it from my daddy," Chu Chen stated without looking up.

He placed the roasted pig's head on the edge of the grill, his tiny body suspended mid-air as he leaned in to take a bite, chewing while his hands simultaneously turned the still uncooked pig's head.

"Your daddy must be even better at cooking," exclaimed Long Shaoyu.

"Of course, my daddy is the best in the world," Chu Chen nodded vigorously with a face full of pride.

"What is your daddy's name?" Long Shaoyu asked casually.

"My daddy is called..." Chu Chen began to reply instinctively.

But before he could finish, Chu Xin interjected, "Daddy is called Ai Chikaorou."

Ai Chikaorou?

The three of Long Shaoyu blinked in unison, thinking even if you want to conceal your identity, at least pick a plausible name; even a fool could tell that was fake.

"Then what are your names?" Long Shaoyu, still hopeful of guessing the two youngsters' identities, asked again.

Chu Xin took a bite of the roasted pig's head and said with a smile, "Big brother, I'm called Ai Chirou, and my little brother is called Ai Kaorou. We're from Barbecue Village."

Ai Chirou?

Ai Kaorou?

The trio of Long Shaoyu exchanged looks, speechless.
