After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Wow, so strong!" Xiaobai suddenly exclaimed to Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba also seemed very excited when he saw her. "Wow, so strong!"

The two of them swayed together, heads touching, staring at each other with fierce glares. Suddenly, Xiaobai dropped its large food bowl, pointed outside, and asked, "Want to fight?"

"beat!"

"go!"

As the two spoke, they transformed into two beams of light, one white and one black, and shot towards the outside of the imperial city.

A few breaths later, a violent surge of energy swept through the entire capital city, startling the people into screaming.

Looking further up at the sky, a fierce wind and dark clouds pressed down, sending withered branches, fallen leaves, and scattered rocks flying everywhere.

The powerful figures in the city were all alarmed and gathered to watch the battle. Even Zhang Sanfeng and Xuanyuan Lie were drawn out by the commotion.

Chen Futu appeared on the city wall with his arm around Li Xiuning's waist.

Two figures were locked in a struggle on the battlefield. Their hands were clasped tightly together, their heads touching, and they were baring their teeth, each trying to gain the upper hand.

The earth's strata were shattered by the two men's violent power, and countless cracks spread out.

When Zhang Sanfeng arrived, he exclaimed in surprise, "This boy's foundation is no weaker than Xiaobai's."

Xuanyuan Lie followed him to the city wall, muttering, "Another monster."

The Li Yuanba model, created from clay, is currently displaying strength that is definitely at the Martial Venerable level. If it were to go any higher, Xiaobai's jade talisman would crack.

So neither of them has gone all out yet.

Chen Futu suddenly felt a little sorry for Yuwen Chengdu. Fighting this monster was just asking for trouble.

Next, Xiaobai and Li Yuanba exchanged blows.

Every time their fists collided, it was like a massive TNT explosion. The turbulent flow of their internal energy sent everyone staggering. Only Zhang Sanfeng, by protecting the city walls along the route, was able to avert a catastrophe.

"Silly girl doesn't believe it! Watch me smash your head in!"

"I'm going to smash your head in too!"

In Li Yuanba's mind, there was no such thing as showing mercy to women.

His punch was so powerful that even an ordinary martial arts master couldn't withstand it, but Xiao Bai managed to take it with his body, demonstrating his formidable physique.

Li Yuanba suddenly understood, and immediately straightened his chest to take Xiaobai's punch, which he caught.

What happened next was rather bizarre. The two dimwits just stood there fighting, punching each other until one of them gave out. It was like children playing house.

Li Xiuning hurriedly said, "Stop fighting, what if something goes wrong?"

Chen Futu felt it was about time, so he shouted, and the two men lowered their raised fists, glared at each other, and scurried back to the city wall.

Xiao Bai, hands on her hips, said to Li Yuanba, "You're not bad, you managed to catch Silly Girl's fist. Silly Girl will take you as her little brother."

Li Yuanba said with dissatisfaction, "You're not bad either, you were able to take my punch, I'll take you as my little sister."

"Silly Girl hasn't removed the jade talisman yet."

"I did not unleash any divine power."

"How about another fight!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

"Shut up, everyone."

Chen Futu stood between the two with a dark expression, and they finally quieted down.

Xiao Bai was suppressed by the jade talisman because he was too powerful, and Li Yuanba was killed by heaven and earth because he was too powerful. In the end, they were evenly matched.

Li Xiuning suppressed a laugh and teased, "Judging by their ages, they're about the same. Now her husband will have a headache."

They see each other as rivals, so it's impossible for them to back down.

After careful consideration, Chen Futu gave them titles as if coaxing children: one was called Little Witch and the other Little Demon King, so that neither of them would be at a disadvantage.

"Little witch!"

"Little devil!"

"Shall we go play?"

"Let's go eat steamed buns."

In a short while, the two disappeared hand in hand, leaving Chen Futu both amused and exasperated.

Hopefully, these two won't cause any trouble in the city.

Xuanyuan Lie asked with a hint of sourness, "May I ask Your Majesty, where did these two children come from?"

Chen Futu said arrogantly, "Second Elder, are you trying to recruit them into the Sand Sea?"

"I didn't say that."

Xuanyuan Lie wouldn't admit it, but he was actually incredibly envious.

With the talent of these two prodigies, they could definitely grow into unparalleled giants in time, and suppressing trachoma might actually be possible. However, as a powerful figure, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

During this time, Xuanyuan Lie lived in the capital and witnessed the development and changes of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was no exaggeration to say that it changed every day. As long as Chen Futu was given time to develop the country's strength, the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune would be enough to suppress a thousand years of troubles.

Chen Futu noticed his hesitation but didn't say anything, and simply left with Li Xiuning.

Zhang Sanfeng said, "Elder Xuanyuan, you should think it over carefully. The opportunity is right in front of you."

"I'd like to take another look..."

All Xuanyuan Lie could do was stubbornly insist on talking the talk.

The palace has been bustling with activity these past few days, as everyone awaits the birth of the prince.

Chen Futu did not inquire about the enthronement ceremony. Judging by the time, the delegation from the Western Regions would arrive soon. When the child was born, a grand ceremony would be held, bringing three joyous occasions and a general amnesty.

A day later, Ake suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, something has happened. Those two children beat up Xuanyuan Lie."

"what?"

Chen Futu suspected he was hallucinating. Wasn't Xuanyuan Lie staying at the Court of State Ceremonial, with Zhang Sanfeng by his side? Why was he being beaten?

Ake immediately explained the situation.

It turned out that Zhang Sanfeng had left the capital and planned to visit a Taoist temple to find some Taoist classics. The two children secretly went to the Honglu Temple to play with the drought demon, but were discovered by Xuanyuan Lie. They beat Xuanyuan Lie up. If Xuanyuan Lie hadn't been strong, he would have been blown to bits by the two little devils. Fortunately, he only suffered some minor injuries.

Chen Futu felt a headache coming on after hearing this.

Xiao Bai used to be quite well-behaved, but now that he has friends, he's started causing trouble.

After giving instructions to the palace, Chen Futu went to the Court of State Ceremonial. As soon as he entered, he saw Xuan Yuanlie standing at the door, puffing out his beard and glaring, with dark circles under his eyes and a bulge on his forehead.

Only he was strong enough to withstand the punches of those two brats; anyone else would have been beaten to death.

"Oh, isn't this Elder Xuanyuan? You've grown quite impressive in just one day," Chen Futu teased, suppressing a laugh.

Xuanyuan Lie gritted his teeth and said, "Is it funny? Your Majesty should keep the younger generation in check to prevent them from causing trouble!"

"Second Elder, why bother getting angry with the child?"

"Your Majesty's indulgence is not the way of a king!"

Xuanyuan Lie was furious. As he spoke, Xiaobai and Li Yuanba, who were peeking out from the top of the hall, seemed to realize they had caused trouble and quickly withdrew their heads.

Chen Futu snapped at him impatiently, "Sneaking around like that, get down here now!"

The two then jumped off the roof and stood together. Xiao Bai was still holding a large food bowl in his arms, while Li Yuanba had somehow acquired a millstone-sized iron hammer and carried it on his shoulder.

"Apologize now!" Chen Futu shouted again.

Xiao Bai complained, "Big brother, this old guy is so weak, he even told his parents. He's so stingy."

Li Yuanba nodded in agreement, "Stingy, boring."

"You two bastards!"

Xuanyuan Lie almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. He got beaten up, and these two brats even accused him of being petty. Isn't this bullying an old man?

Besides, are they ordinary kids? If it were an ordinary kid, a couple of punches wouldn't hurt, but these two's fists are harder than steel. One punch could bury him in the ground. In short, he has to get an explanation today.

Seeing his attitude, Chen Futu's eyes lit up with a plan. Today, he would make this stubborn old mule admit defeat and even bleed a little.
