Chapter 304: Chapter 302: Ye Hongxue: Are these the two children His Majesty is looking for?
“Hmph!”
Four cultivators snorted coldly in unison, turning their heads away.
“They have tokens that grant them free access to the secret chamber.”
Just then, the voice of that woman sounded from behind.
“Ye Hongxue!”
The four cultivators turned their heads together, glaring angrily at the woman.
...
“I see.”
Chu Xin ca to a sudden realization, approached the cultivator with the hooked nose, looked at him, shook her head and walked away, muttering to herself, “Too ugly, can’t bring myself to do it.”
Too ugly?
The cultivator with the hooked nose was so angry he almost lost control, not only wounded physically but now also dealt a heavy blow emotionally.
Chu Xin approached the cultivator with the narrow eyes, looked down at him, shook her head and once again walked away: “This one’s even uglier.”
Even uglier?
The cultivator with the narrow eyes imdiately grew furious and shouted, “You damn brat, are you blind? How am I uglier than him?”
Being plainly called ugly was one thing, but being said to be uglier than the cultivator with the hooked nose was more than he could bear.
“Where are you not uglier than ?”
The cultivator with the hooked nose retorted, feeling slightly comforted by the thought that at least there was soone to share the brunt of the insult.
Chu Xin paid no attention to the argunt about who was uglier, walked up to the other two cultivators with her hands behind her back, looked them over, nodded in satisfaction and murmured, “Though not good-looking either, at least more pleasant to the eye.”
The two shared a look of dismay but secretly felt fortunate.
Usually, if soone said they were not good-looking, they would be enraged. But now, with the previous two serving as uglier comparisons, the comnt of being not good-looking sohow didn’t seem so unacceptable.
“You’ll do.”
Chu Xin randomly picked a cultivator, stood before him with a grin, and said, “Naughty uncle, only one of you four can live. Do you wish to die or to live?”
“Hmph!”
The man snorted coldly and turned his head away.
“Looks like naughty uncle isn’t afraid of death. Well, then I have no choice but to oblige.”
Chu Xin’s fair little hand waved, and a terrifying sword qi erged, hovering above the cultivator’s head.
The powerful Sword Intent continually assaulted his soul, causing him imnse pain.
The sword qi that could fall at any mont and end his life filled him with dread.
Death was not frightening, but the process of waiting for death was.
“I want to live, I wish to live.”
It hadn’t been easy to cultivate to a Peak Martial Saint. He also aspired to take one more step and beco a Martial Emperor. Naturally, he didn’t want to die in such a suffocating way.
Faced with the threat of death, the cultivator ultimately capitulated.
“That’s more like it. Daddy always said, ‘Nothing remains after death, but as long as you live, anything is possible.'”
Chu Xin giggled, dispelled the sword qi, then took out a baby bottle, took a sip, and said, “Wanting to live is simple. Hand over your Suru Ring, as well as the Suru Rings of the other three, and erase the marks on them. Otherwise, hmph.”
Her voice was milkily sweet, sounding rather adorable, but at that mont, it was no doubt the voice of a demon to those four cultivators.
“This…”
The cultivator hesitated. Giving up his own Suru Ring in exchange for his life was not difficult, but the other three companions would not hand over their Suru Rings so easily.
“What’s the matter? The bad uncle doesn’t want to live anymore?”
Chu Xin saw that he was delaying and raised her pretty little eyebrows, turning her head to look at another cultivator while muttering softly, “Out of these four bad guys, this one looks slightly better. I intended to give him the chance to live first, but he doesn’t cherish it. It seems we have to switch to soone else.”
“No, I can do it.”
Upon hearing her words, the cultivator quickly said aloud.
There was only one chance to live, and he couldn’t let it go to soone else.
Now, he was very grateful that his parents had given birth to him looking slightly better than average, or else this opportunity to live would have belonged to soone else.
With a wave of her hand, Chu Xin released the chains on the cultivator and said with a grin, “That’s more like it. Daddy says, ‘If you don’t look out for yourself, you bring about your own heavenly punishnt and earth’s destruction.’ Protecting yourself is the most important thing.”
The woman who had just been saved was sowhat speechless. How did these two little tykes’ daddy usually teach them? He could even co up with a phrase like ‘If you don’t look out for yourself, you bring about your own heavenly punishnt and earth’s destruction’?
“Did Daddy really say that? I don’t rember,”
Chu Chen, who was digging at the Blood Pond with a Treasure Digging Shovel, raised his head, his round and wide eyes filled with confusion. After thinking hard and still having no clue, he shook his head and muttered, “Forget it, I can’t rember a lot of what Daddy says anyway.”
He then continued to swing the Treasure Digging Shovel.
The cultivator’s face fell, and he quickly took off his Suru Ring. After wiping away the imprint on it, he tossed it to Chu Xin, then turned to look at the other three cultivators, hesitating for a mont before saying, “I’m sorry, my fellows.”
“Fourth Elder, we have always treated you well, you can’t do this to us.”
The cultivator with the hooked nose saw the murderous intent in the other’s eyes and quickly played the sympathy card.
“Right, it’s just a Suru Ring. We’ll hand it over,”
The cultivator with the narrow eyes also hurriedly spoke up.
“Exactly, exactly, we will hand over our Suru Rings too,”
Another cultivator quickly agreed.
The cultivator turned his head to look at Chu Xin, waiting for her command.
He indeed felt sowhat reluctant to act against his fellow sect mbers. If they voluntarily handed over their Suru Rings, that would naturally be better.
Chu Xin frowned her little eyebrows, appearing rather conflicted. After a long sigh, she finally said, “If that’s the case, then take off their Suru Rings and give them to . Who made such a kind-hearted girl?”
The three cultivators sighed in relief upon hearing this. They directly used Holy Thought to erase the imprints on their Suru Rings. This way, others could easily take off the rings. Otherwise, they’d have to either kill them or chop off the finger wearing the Suru Ring.
Chu Xin glanced over the four Suru Rings, which truly had no imprints left. Inside, apart from so Cultivation thods and treasures, there were also four pitch-dark tokens, likely the ones the auntie ntioned for entering and exiting the secret chamber.
After securing the Suru Rings, Chu Xin waved her small pale hand, and a Talisman flew out, binding the cultivator again. She said cheerfully, “Bad uncle, you lie down a little longer. The Talisman will co off when the ti is up.”
Having said that, she turned and walked toward the Blood Pond. Looking at the woman, she greeted with innocent-faced sincerity, “Auntie, hello there.”
“Hello.”
The woman was also observing Chu Xin, thinking to herself, “Two children not even five years old, with incredible strength, wearing dragon and phoenix masks, one sister, one brother… They’re exactly like the two kids described in the imperial secret missive from His Majesty. Could they be the two kids with powerful backgrounds that His Majesty is searching for? But how can I persuade them to willingly co with to the Imperial City in Central State to et His Majesty?”
She was quite troubled, for she did not possess the power to take them by force.
“Little sister, my na is Ye Hongxue. What’s your na?”
The woman put on a kind smile, deciding it was best to establish a good rapport first. Little did she know, her pallid complexion due to excessive blood loss made her smile seem rather unsettling.
Luckily, Chu Xin didn’t mind and cheerily replied, “My na is Ai Chirou, and that’s my brother, Ai Kaorou. Aunt Ye, where is this? Do you know the way to Central State?”
