Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 74: Those two babies are my nephews?



"Ai Chirou's sister?"

The old village chief looked carefully, noticing that while this woman's appearance didn't differ much from Ai Chirou's, her temperament kept some distinctions.

"Miss Yu Fei, I am the village chief of Big Stone Village, you can just call me Old Shi."

After introducing himself, the old village chief welcomed Long Yufei into the village and had her take a seat in a small pavilion on the open ground at the front of the village.

Long Yufei sipped her tea, her gaze falling on the group of children training on the open ground, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

There were about twenty kids, the oldest being seventeen or eighteen, the youngest three or four, practicing a set of boxing techniques she'd never seen before.

Among them, those older children were all martial masters, with the strongest, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old, even reaching the late stage of a martial master.

Although there was still a great gap compared to the Heavenly Prides of Jiuzhou, it was quite incredible for them to appear in such a small village.

"Chu Feng taught them all these. According to Chu Feng, they're just some basic boxing techniques for tempering the body," the old village chief explained with a smile.

"Basic boxing techniques?"

Long Yufei's eyelids twitched slightly, and though she did not know what these techniques were, she could see the profound mysteries they contained, which certainly were incomparable to any basic boxing technique.

However, she did not point it out and took a careful look at the village chief in front of her, her eyes once again showing a hint of surprise.

"Actually a peak Martial King."

It was one thing for a tiny village to be full of cultivators, yet to have a peak Martial King was something else. Even some small cities did not have a peak Martial King.

If she remembered correctly, the entire Northern Border of Lanzhou only had about ten Martial Kings.

This Big Stone Village revealed weirdness everywhere.

She looked up at the sky, put down her teacup, and asked curiously, "Old Shi, if I may ask, who set up this Array in your village?"

The old village chief replied with a smile, "That was also Chu Feng's work, set up to defend against the beast tide. It's said to be quite effective, but we don't know the specifics."

Long Yufei nodded, having heard that the Northern Border near Lanzhou often experienced beast tides from the Fierce Beast Mountains.

She didn't dwell too much on the issues of Big Stone Village and asked, "Old Shi, is my brother-in-law around?"

Although her sister had told her not to disturb her brother-in-law's family life, she still wanted to see her brother-in-law and her two little nephews.

If it were before she had met those two little toddlers, she wouldn't have had this thought; perhaps it was those two that sparked the maternal love in her heart.

The old village chief shook his head and said, "Miss Yu Fei, you've come at an inconvenient time. Chu Feng has been out for many days now, and we don't know when he'll be back."

"He's gone out?"

Long Yufei was startled for a moment, then asked, "Then what about my two little nephews? Can you take me to see them?"

Once again, the old village chief shook his head, "It's really an unfortunate time, those two troublemakers took advantage of their father's absence and sneaked out, and we haven't found them yet. Oh, they left us a note saying they've gone to save their mother."

"They snuck out?"

Long Yufei's complexion changed, her tone suddenly rising several degrees, "They're only three years old, how could you let them sneak out? What if they encounter bad people?"

The old village chief replied with a wry smile, "You don't know, Miss Yu Fei, although those two little ones are only three, they're incredibly strong. All of us together couldn't beat them. It was effortlessly easy for them to deceive us and sneak out."

"How strong could two three-year-olds possibly be?"

Long Yufei was very angry, thinking about the two little toddlers sneaking out. What if they encountered bad people and were kidnapped and sold? What if they were eaten by a demon beast or a fierce beast?

Wait a minute!

Long Yufei's body suddenly shook and she went into a daze.

Two little three-year-old toddlers?

Very strong?

Sneaked out to save mother?

Why does she resemble Ai Chirou and Ai Kaorou, the brother and sister duo, so much?

Can it be such a coincidence?

Long Yufei had a guess in her heart but still dared not confirm it.

With a wave of her jade hand, she used her True Qi to create two vague figures in the air and asked, "Village Chief Shi, are these the ones?"

The old village chief took a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Xin, Chu Chen? These are the two little troublemakers. Miss Afei, you've met them?"

"Indeed, it's them."

Long Yufei smiled and said, "I've met them, just that I didn't know before that they were my two little nephews."

The old village chief then asked, "Are they doing well now? Has anyone bullied them?"

Bullied?

Thinking of those two toddlers' terrifying strength, a twitch appeared at the corner of Long Yufei's mouth as she remarked, "It would be good if they don't bully others. Who could bully them?"

"That's also true."

The seasoned village chief nodded in agreement.

"Village Chief Shi, since my brother-in-law is not here, I'll be taking my leave now."

Long Yufei stood up to leave.

The old village chief hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss Afei, is Arou doing well? Where is she? Chu Feng has been searching so hard for her these past three years."

Long Yufei hesitated for a moment, then said, "My sister is fine, but due to some special reasons, she cannot reveal her whereabouts for now. Please trouble Village Chief Shi to pass a message to my brother-in-law and tell him not to search for my sister anymore. When the time is right, she will naturally return to find him."

"Alright, I'll convey the message to Chu Feng," the old village chief sighed.

Having no children of his own, he had always treated Chu Feng and Arou as if they were his own son and daughter-in-law.

It pained him to see two people who loved each other deeply unable to be together. Every time he saw Chu Feng staring blankly into the sky, it made him feel very uneasy.

"Please remain, Village Chief Shi. I'm leaving now."

Long Yufei bid farewell to the old village chief and walked towards the village exit.

In her mind, she recalled the first meeting with the two toddlers, where she had said she wanted to become sworn sisters with their mother, so that she could be their auntie.

Thinking of this, Long Yufei couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears. We are real sisters, aren't we? There's no need for a sworn sisterhood.

I am actually already those two toddlers' auntie.

If I'd known I was looking for them, I should have made them call me auntie a few more times.

Long Yufei murmured to herself, "My brother-in-law turns out to be the Martial Emperor. Should I tell my sister about this news? Another Martial Emperor would mean more security for the royal family. It could also allow my sister and her husband to reunite sooner. Those two nephews of mine seem to have mentioned splitting the Imperial City apart to save their mother? Should I tell my sister or not?"

Long Yufei's brows knitted tightly, showing her inner conflict.

"Forget it, I don't even know where my brother-in-law is right now, and besides, another Martial Emperor won't solve the problem. If the news leaks, those people might send a Martial Emperor to besiege my brother-in-law and two nephews, which would only distract my sister. If my brother-in-law or nephews fall into those people's hands and are used to threaten my sister, that wouldn't be good. It's better to inform my true self and let her take care of those two little ones."

Long Yufei still decided to keep this news from her sister for the time being.

But really, my brother-in-law is so handsome.

No wonder he's got my sister head over heels.

And that little guy Chu Chen keeps trying to set me up with his dad, doesn't he?

Ah, Long Yufei, what are you thinking? He's your brother-in-law.

Long Yufei rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks vigorously, discarding all those unrealistic thoughts, then summoned her Flying Boat and shot through the sky.
