Chapter 79: Are You Trying to Steal Our Dishwater?
Chu Xin noticed the square-faced boy and the bow-wielding boy's change in expression, and her tiny body levitated, standing guard in front of the Jade Bottle, her childlike voice questioning, "Are you trying to steal our dishwashing water?"
Chu Chen, who was cleaning the barbecue rack, also responded with his babyish fierceness, "If you dare to steal our dishwashing water, I'll spank you until your bottoms bloom."
Dishwashing water?
Long Shaoyu and his two companions' eyelids twitched violently, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching.
The peerless treasure capable of transforming cultivators into Bodies of Purity and Pure Souls had been relegated to dishwashing water in the hands of these two bratty kids. Discover exclusive content at empire
Oh heavens, please strike these two wasteful brats dead with your thunder.
The trio screamed inwardly, near madness.
No, they could no longer bear to watch, their hearts couldn't take it.
Long Shaoyu and his compatriots simultaneously turned away, taking deep breaths to calm their emotions.
"Sister, are they the country bumpkins Daddy talked about, trying to steal even our dishwashing water?"
Chu Chen continued cleaning the rack, also asking puzzledly.
Country bumpkins?
You're the country bumpkin.
Your whole family are country bumpkins.
It's the Water of Purification, Water of Purification!
The trio cursed in their hearts.
Phew!
Don't get angry!
Stay calm!
The three raised their hands, pressing them down from their heads to their chests, as if by doing so they could suppress the anger threatening to explode from their heads.
"It should be, little brother, hurry and wash, once you're done, tuck the dishwashing water away. If it's stolen, we'll have no water for cleaning the grill anymore," Chu Xin said, not quite certain.
She hadn't actually seen a country bumpkin before, but perhaps they somewhat resembled these guys.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen glanced at Long Shaoyu and his companions warily, speeding up his motions, and murmuring, "In the future, I must wash the dishes and the grill secretly, can't let anyone see. If it gets stolen, there'll be no water to wash them. Daddy said dirty grills and bowls will breed germs that can make us sick. Daddy also said that other water won't clean it properly, only this dishwashing water can wash the germs away."
"Yeah yeah! Little brother, you wash quickly, I'll keep watch for you," Chu Xin said, nodding repeatedly as her big round eyes peeked out from under her phoenix-shaped mask, unblinking at the trio.
"Young master, I can't take it anymore, should we just take it by force?" the bow-wielding boy transmitted via voice.
"Young master, let's make a move. That's an invaluable treasure," the square-faced boy also transmitted greedily.
Long Shaoyu took a deep breath, shook his head, and transmitted back, "No rush, those two brats are too peculiar, we shouldn't act rashly. Plus, the Water of Purification is just our guess; their, um, dishwashing water, might not necessarily be the Water of Purification. Let's focus on fetching the double-headed Fire Boar Crystal Core first, and then go to Fire Boar Valley to pick the Fire Boar Grass."
"As you wish, young master."
The bow-wielding boy and square-faced boy both nodded.
"Sister, are they still thinking about stealing our dishwashing water?"
After cleaning the barbecue rack and securing the "dishwashing water," Chu Chen looked at the three with their backs to him and still felt uneasy, whispering, "Sister, shouldn't we just leave? They're so bad for wanting to steal even the dishwashing water."
Chu Xin shook her head and whispered, "Don't be afraid, little brother. If they dare to steal our dishwashing water, I'll spank their bottoms until they bloom. We still have to follow them to find that Fire Boar King to eat."
"But we have the map, we can go find it ourselves," Chu Chen said.
"Do you know how to read a map?"
Chu Xin glanced at Chu Chen, her eyes filled with scorn.
"Alright then."
Chu Chen nodded obediently.
Neither he nor his sister knew how to read a map.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been wandering aimlessly for two days, missing out on a single meal of barbecue.
"Big brother, let's go."
Chu Xin, holding a roast pig head that she hadn't finished eating in one hand and grabbing the hind leg of a two-headed Fire Boar in the other, uttered in a tender, milky voice.
"Hmm, okay!"
Long Shaoyu turned and glanced at the spot where the Jade Bottle had been, then soared into the sky.
The square-faced youth and the bow-wielding youth also took to the air, one after another.
"Little brother, keep up!"
Chu Xin took another bite of the roast pig head and, holding the hind leg of the two-headed Fire Boar, took off and followed.
"Wait for me."
Chu Chen also rose into the air and quickly followed suit.
Flying with the Heavenly Slash Sword and the Sky-breaking Saber would naturally be faster, but Daddy had said that they should not be summoned unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, they only flew with the Heavenly Slash Sword and the Sky-breaking Saber when they were alone.
Under the guidance of Long Shaoyu and the others, the group swiftly flew for an hour and landed on top of a large mountain.
"Below us is the Fire Boar Valley, see those Fire Boars?"
Long Shaoyu pointed toward a valley below them, speaking with a smile.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen leaned over the edge of the mountain and looked down, indeed spotting a vast valley.
The valley was a fiery red throughout, with several rolling Magma Lakes inside, and herds of massive pigs either lazily sprawled out sleeping or bathing in the Magma Lakes.
Most of these huge pigs were smaller than the one in Chu Xin's hands, but there were still several that were even bigger.
"Big brother wasn't lying to us, with so many big pigs, how long will it take to eat them?"
Chu Xin's face lit up with excitement as drool unknowingly began to flow from the corner of her mouth.
"With so many big pigs, how long will it take to roast them?"
Chu Chen's eyes shone as well, his chubby little hands already starting to twitch with anticipation.
Long Shaoyu and his companions exchanged looks, all somewhat speechless.
In the eyes of a glutton, is there only food?
These two troublemakers didn't think about eating the first time they saw them, did they?
"Big brother, let's go down quickly, I can't wait any longer."
Chu Xin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, urging impatiently.
"Hold on a moment."
Long Shaoyu hastily intervened, "There are hundreds of two-headed Fire Boars in this valley, and the strongest Fire Boar King has reached the Peak of Sixth Rank. There are also over a dozen Sixth Rank Fire Boars. Moreover, in this valley, the Fire Energy is so intense that their strength will be even greater. That Peak Sixth Rank Fire Boar King can unleash the power comparable to an Early Stage Seventh Rank Demon Beast, which will not be easy to deal with."
"What's to fear? I'll smash it to death with one punch."
Chu Chen waved his chubby little fists.
"No way!"
Chu Xin promptly spoke up, "Little brother, you can't kill the Fire Boar King. We have to tie it up and take it with us so we can eat roast pig heads every day."
"Oh right, I almost forgot."
Chu Chen suddenly realized, nodding again and again.
Long Shaoyu was at a loss for words, finding it impossible to have a proper conversation with these two foodies, as they always managed to bring up the topic of eating. His eyes rolled, and he said, "The Fire Boar King is powerful, and there are too many Fire Boars. If we startle the other Fire Boars, it would take some time to kill them all. And if that Fire Boar King takes the chance to escape in the meantime, where will we find it? I have a method to approach the Fire Boar King quietly without alarming the others."
"What method?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen eagerly asked.
Long Shaoyu looked at the two-headed Fire Boar being held by its hind legs by Chu Xin and smiled, "We have to kill it first."
"Here you go."
This time, Chu Xin handed over the two-headed Fire Boar to Long Shaoyu without any hesitation.
With so many big pigs in the valley, she naturally wouldn't feel attached to this one any longer.
Long Shaoyu's hand moved, and his blade fell, chopping off both heads of the two-headed Fire Boar in a blink. To his astonishment, he saw a hint of relief in all four of the Fire Boar's eyes.
