Chapter 23 There are even better treasures yet to be revealed
A day later, a powerful fluctuation rippled out, and Long Yufei, who was in seclusion, woke up from her cultivation, her face full of excitement: "I’ve broken through to the late stage of Martial Arts Sect."
Her current form was just an incarnation, which had just broken through to the middle stage of Martial Arts Sect not long ago. She hadn’t expected that a single mouthful of beast milk would allow her to break through again, entering the late stage of Martial Arts Sect.
Looking up, she saw her master and numerous female guards also seated in cultivation, with strong and different fluctuations of True Qi rippling around them. She was stunned.
"Did they also drink the beast milk?"
Long Yufei couldn’t help but laugh silently, although thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising.
The beast milk of a Martial Emperor Level Demon Beast was a genuine Eighth Rank treasure, something rare even in a thousand years.
Just a mere mouthful had allowed her to break through a bottleneck; it was no wonder those two adorable kids were so terrifyingly strong with them drinking it every day.
However, the physical strength of those two cute kids, as well as the toughness of their meridians and dantian, had far surpassed common imaginations. If it were two other people, they certainly wouldn’t dare to drink it daily like this.
"Aunt Long, you’re awake, want some roast meat?"
The milky voice of Chu Xin rang out.
Long Yufei turned her head and saw Chu Chen floating in front of the roasting rack, turning over a piece of unidentified demon beast meat, the aroma wafting through the air.
Chu Xin stood in front of the roasting rack, nibbling on roast meat in one hand while holding a piece and tilting her head to look at her.
Truly two little foodies.
Long Yufei smiled slightly, got up, sat down next to Chu Xin, and while eating the roast meat, she said, "Little treasure, in the future you must not casually reveal the treasures on you to strangers, otherwise bad people might steal them."
Chu Xin swallowed the roast meat in her mouth and nodded her little head like a pecking chick, saying in a milky voice, "Mmhmm, Daddy said the same thing. We’re very obedient, we didn’t take out our treasures."
Didn’t take out the treasures?
What does that mean?
Martial Emperor Level Demon Beast Milk isn’t a treasure?
Do these two little ones have treasures that are even better than Eighth Rank treasures on them? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Long Yufei was dumbfounded.
She now understood, the two little ones weren’t unaware of the principle to keep wealth a secret; they were simply a bit unclear about the allure of these treasures for cultivators.
In their tiny minds, they simply thought that anything they didn’t like wasn’t a treasure, and that others wouldn’t like it either.
Little did they know, the beast milk they drank every day and were already tired of was extremely precious.
Forget it, discussing this matter with these two adorable kids is a bit of a blow to my self-esteem, I better keep quiet.
Long Yufei silently continued eating her roast meat.
Before long, all the female guards also awakened from their cultivation one after another, without exception, they had all broken through their bottlenecks.
They were just at the Martial Emperor Realm, so they did not need a lot of beast milk to break through, and the required time wasn’t very long either.
Although it was only a breakthrough of a small realm, it was enough to excite them for a long time.
Everyone looked at the two cute kids with faces full of gratitude and astonishment. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that countless cultivators yearned for in their dreams, yet these two little ones were drinking them like milk every day, and they had even grown tired of them.
This really was a case of comparisons between people leading to frustration.
Two days later, an even more formidable True Qi fluctuation spread out.
"Haha, I’ve finally broken through, I’ve finally broken through."
The old woman laughed ecstatically, her excitement impossible to hide.
The difference in strength between the early stage of Martial Saint and the middle stage of Martial Saint might have been just a small realm, but the gap was as vast as that between heaven and earth.
If she were to encounter Qin Feng again, there was no need for Ai Chirou, that little girl, to take action; the old woman was confident she had a fifty percent chance of defeating Qin Feng.
Even if she faced that Sword Saint with the Yin Demon Blade again, she now had the power to fight.
How many people in Jiuzhou were stuck at this step for their entire lives, unable to advance even an inch, finally dying filled with regrets.
The old woman had never imagined that her opportunity to break through would come from two adorable kids. The decision to build a good relationship with the two little ones proved to be extremely wise.
"Sister, Granny looks a bit unusual, she hasn’t gone crazy, has she?"
Chu Chen, who was focused on roasting meat, was startled by the sudden laughter and almost dropped the roast meat in her hands.
"Could it really be?"
Chu Xin looked at the excited old woman, unsurely saying, "If she truly went mad, wouldn’t that make me a murderer? She isn’t going to pester me every day, is she?"
Long Yufei could not help but laugh and cry as she explained, "Don’t worry, Granny hasn’t lost her mind; she’s just too happy about her power breakthrough."
"A power breakthrough? Why is that a cause for happiness?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen were completely baffled. The term ’power breakthrough’ was alien to them because they had never experienced a breakthrough in their cultivation, nor did they understand what it felt like to be stuck in a realm for too long and then suddenly advance.
"Uh!"
Long Yufei was somewhat at a loss for words.
Fortunately, at this moment, the old woman came over and, with gratitude, said to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, "Thank you, young friends, for helping this old body to break through."
"It’s fine, it’s fine, as long as Granny hasn’t gone mad,"
said Chu Xin, waving her snowy white small hand.
"Hm?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment. Why would breaking through a minor realm make me mad?
However, she didn’t dwell on it much. In her good mood, everything she heard sounded joyful to her. With a wave of her hand, the flying boat activated and broke through the air in an instant.
The rest of the journey encountered no further obstructions. Obviously, the person behind the scenes thought that three Martial Saints, along with a Blood Wolf, were enough to prevent the new State Governor from reaching the State Mansion.
In fact, he wasn’t wrong.
These three Martial Saints could easily control Long Yufei’s group of travellers.
But he missed one detail, and that was the two adorable children who snuck out of Big Stone Village.
The moment they stepped out of Big Stone Village, the fate of Jiuzhou was quietly undergoing unknown changes.
Two days later, the flying boat hovered over a vast city.
The city was constructed from pitch-black giant stones, conveying a sense of weighty antiquity.
"Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the State Mansion,"
said the old woman with a serious tone.
On their way to the State Mansion, having continuously encountered three Martial Saints set to assassinate them, it was clear that their enemies would not allow the new State Governor to reach the State Mansion, and they would certainly send even more formidable beings to intercept them.
"Yes, Pavilion Master,"
all the female guards responded in unison, with everyone’s hands on their sword hilts, ready to draw their blades and fight at a moment’s notice.
Long Yufei too had a solemn face as she looked down at the peaceful Lanzhou City beneath her, feeling as if this tranquility was the calm before a storm.
"Wow! What a huge village. This is definitely comparable to many, many Big... Barbecue Villages."
"With such a big village, there must be lots and lots of barbecue to eat."
However, this tense atmosphere was promptly shattered by the excited and astonished cooing of the two cute children.
Everybody turned to look, seeing the two adorable kids perched on the railing of the flying boat, standing on tiptoes, craning their necks to evaluate the city below.
Seemingly sensing everyone’s gaze, the two children suddenly turned their heads and, in unison, fixed their gaze on Long Yufei.
"Aunt Long, you said that when we get to the State Mansion, you’d prepare lots and lots of Demon Beast meat for us. You better not forget, oh."
"Right, right, right, Aunt Long can’t lie to us, oh. Daddy said that adults who deceive children will be struck by lightning."
The old woman and Long Yufei rubbed their foreheads with a hint of resignation. We’re all on edge preparing for battle here, could you at least take this seriously?
"I respectfully welcome the new State Governor. I am the State Governor of Lanzhou, and I have prepared a welcoming banquet at the Mansion to honor and cleanse you from your journey. I request the honor of your presence."
Just then, a series of figures soared into the sky, with the leading man smiling at the people on the flying boat. His square face was full of respect, but his narrow, fox-like eyes held a chilly gleam.
No such thing as a free banquet!
The words simultaneously flashed through the minds of the old woman and Long Yufei and the others.
