Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 175 - 173: Useless Oath Talisman? Various Thoughts at the Barbecue Banquet

After the servant had left, Long’s mother looked up at Long Shaoyu and asked, "Yu’er, those two troublemakers suddenly want to hold a barbecue feast. Could it be that they have become suspicious of you?"

They claimed it was to thank Long Shaoyu for guiding them, but there was no need to invite everyone in the mansion, which made Long’s mother concerned.

"No!" Long Shaoyu said with absolute confidence, and then with a light smile he added, "Those two brats secretly slapped a Top Grade Holy Level Oath Talisman on me, thinking I was unaware. Little do they know that I bear a prohibition placed by my Grandmaster. Truth Talismans and Oath Talismans are useless against me unless they reach Upper Grade Emperor Level. They have tried using a Truth Talisman on me before. To appease them, I pretended to be affected. At this moment, they should absolutely trust me without doubt."

Upon hearing this, Long’s mother’s face revealed a satisfied smile as she praised, "You truly are my son, well done."

In her opinion, although talent was important, it was far from being as crucial as cunning.

To go further and stand higher, one must have exceptional cunning.

And Long Shaoyu, both in terms of talent and cunning, met her expectations, which were very high.

"Mother, that brat’s barbecue is delicious, would you like to join us for a taste?" Long Shaoyu asked.

Long’s mother, hearing about the Divine Pond Water and Stone Milk soup, was also tempted, for she was a cultivator too, naturally desiring these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

She nodded her head and just before leaving, she said toward the corner of the main hall, "Long Fei, take your men and lie in wait outside the Martial Arts Arena."

"Yes, madam."

A cold voice came from around the corner.

"Let’s go."

After that, Long’s mother finally turned her head to Long Shaoyu and said.

"Alright!"

Long Shaoyu, leading his mother, exited the main courtyard and headed for the Martial Arts Arena.

Upon arriving at the Martial Arts Arena, almost the entire Cangzhou Prefecture’s people had already gathered. Everyone was circled around, leaving a large open space in the middle.

Chu Chen was floating in front of the barbecue rack, drinking Beast Milk while flipping the meat. Beside him was a pot steaming with heat, and a miniaturized version of a Two-headed Fire Dragon sprawled next to it, stretching its two pig heads, staring longingly at the roasting meat.

The aroma of the roasting meat, mixed with the scent of the soup, wafted over, making it irresistible not to take a deep breath and indulge, Long Shaoyu even heard someone swallowing saliva.

Watching everyone sitting on the ground, eagerly staring at the still-turning barbecue, motionless, he couldn’t help but mutter softly, "These fellows are never this serious during regular training."

"Greetings, madam and young master."

Upon seeing Long’s mother and Long Shaoyu, everyone promptly stood up and paid their respects.

Chu Chen, who was barbecuing, heard the sound and turned his head, saying in his babyish voice, "Big brother, you’re here, just wait a bit longer, it’s almost ready."

"Alright!"

Long Shaoyu nodded, a warm smile on his face as he and his mother sat down cross-legged in front of the barbecue rack.

Long’s mother looked at Chu Chen, who was focused on the barbecue, and couldn’t help but secretly admire, "Such a delightful little child, it’s a bit of a waste to turn him into a puppet. But to become a stepping stone for my son to reach the peak, it’s not in vain you came to this world."

Long Shaoyu looked around and asked with curiosity, "Ai Kaorou, where’s your sister Ai Chirou?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "Big brother, my sister is in seclusion in her room."

"In seclusion?"

A hint of puzzlement flashed in Long Shaoyu’s eyes. Since he had known these two troublemakers, he had never seen them in seclusion before.

And Ai Chirou was a true glutton; it was strange that she would be in seclusion during Ai Kaorou’s barbecue feast.

After a moment’s thought, he gestured to summon someone and whispered, "Go to their courtyard and take a look around. Don’t go in, just probe from the outside."

"Yes, young master."

The man glanced at the roasting meat that was still turning and quietly rose to leave. It wasn’t long before he returned and whispered back, "Young Master, that little girl’s presence is still in the house; she hasn’t left."

"Hmm, I know," Long Shaoyu nodded to let the man return to his place, and then squinted his eyes slightly, falling into deep thought, "Could it really be a seclusion?"

"The meat is ready, Big Brother, you try it first," just then, Chu Chen approached with a piece of roasted meat, speaking in her sweet, milky voice.

"Okay!"

Long Shaoyu was startled out of his thoughts, no longer contemplating deeply. After all, if he just delayed a bit, after the second master finished seclusion, he could capture these two brats and proceed with the next plan. Before that, it was only necessary that these two brats did not leave the State Mansion.

He took the roasted meat, turned his head to look at the Dragon Mother, and smiled, "Mother, you try first. Ai Kaorou’s roasted meat is definitely unmatched in Jiuzhou."

"Really? Let me taste it," The Dragon Mother said with slight smile, not taking it too seriously. She took a bite of the roasted meat and her eyes immediately lit up.

This is so delicious?

As the State Master’s Wife, she had tasted all kinds of delicacies and fine foods, but at this moment, she found that those fine foods couldn’t hold a candle to the piece of roasted meat in front of her.

"Mother, how is it?" Long Shaoyu asked with a smile.

After all, the Dragon Mother was the dignified State Master’s Wife. Even if the food was irresistibly delicious, she still had to maintain her composure and grace. She nodded slightly and smiled, "It is indeed good."

Having said that, she continued to eat elegantly.

Seeing this, Long Shaoyu just smiled and said nothing.

"Big Brother, you eat too," Chu Chen said, seeing Long Shaoyu had given the roasted meat to the beautiful aunt, and brought over another piece.

"Okay, thank you."

Long Shaoyu took the roasted meat and started to eat heartily.

Chu Chen returned to the grill. Once the Two-headed Fire Dragon had been given two pieces of roasted meat, she waved her plump little hand, and Sword Energy crisscrossed, slicing all the cooked meat into slices, delivering them accurately to everyone present. Then she also filled bowls of soup and delivered them to everyone with her Sword Energy, saying in her sweet, milky voice, "A bite of roasted meat followed by a sip of soup makes it even more delicious."

"Wow! So tasty."

In the Martial Arts Arena, sounds of praise rose and fell in succession.

Originally, they had just obeyed Long Shaoyu’s orders to attend the little kid’s barbecue feast, without much expectation.

But since their arrival, the aroma of roasted meat had already conquered their senses.

Now that they had truly tasted the roasted meat and drunk the soup, they realized it was much more delicious than they had imagined.

In the State Mansion, they had also tasted all kinds of fine foods, but none could compare to the roasted meat before them. This taste was simply too extraordinary.

"I wonder if we’ll still be able to roast such delicious meat after it’s turned into a puppet," Long Shaoyu thought to himself as he ate the meat and drank the soup, all the while keeping an eye on Chu Chen.

Chu Chen saw Long Shaoyu staring at her and also bared two rows of neat, white teeth in a grin, thinking to herself, "Sorry, Big Brother, but we are doing this to save our mother. Let this roasted meat and soup be compensation for deceiving you."

"Cut!" Suddenly, a childish and delicate shout rang through the State Mansion, accompanied by a terrifying surge of Sword Intent.
