I Transmigrated As A Three-Year-Old Villain With A Redemption System?! - Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: Heaven’s Fortune Jade Pendant

Su Changge quickly reached out and took the book. Only then did he see clearly that it was an ancient military manual, passed down for a thousand years. Its protective array had long faded, and the book itself was tattered and worn. Although his family’s library contained countless volumes, that didn’t mean he had read every one of them—let alone memorized every passage.

He had skimmed this book once before, but since it recorded mostly obscure and unorthodox formations, he hadn’t paid it much attention. Those odd battle scenarios occurred maybe once in a thousand years. No one would specifically prepare for such things.

Yet within a few pages was a record of a special formation.

The Northern Abyss Insects fed on ice and could produce spiritual crystal armor within their bodies—extremely difficult to destroy. They also used cold to provoke instinctive human fear, which even true qi could not defend against. However, the Seven Emotions Flame-Extinguishing Formation could ignite spiritual flames using positive emotions. These flames not only countered the spiritual crystal armor but could also suppress the fear instincts triggered by the insects.

“With this formation, we no longer need to dread facing the Northern Abyss Insects!” Su Changge exclaimed. “Such a treasure has been hidden in my study room, left to gather dust in darkness. I am… guilty!”

He sighed deeply.

Books that sat untouched for years—who could have known that gold had been buried beneath his feet?

Minister Li squinted from smiling so hard. “Marquis of Zhenyuan, why would you say such a thing? If you hadn’t found this book, those insects might have overwhelmed our army at the Great Wall. The outposts beyond would have been lost.”

“Without you, we might not have figured out a solution for another month.”

General Wang also said with emotion, “Who would have thought—Marquis returns to the capital for just one day and uncovers a method to defeat the enemy.”

Minister Li glared at him. “You have the nerve to speak? If this solution had been missed, I would’ve reported to His Majesty and had you punished!”

General Wang grumbled and dragged Su Changge into it. “He didn’t read it either.”

Su Changge smiled awkwardly. In truth, he had planned to read it, but with guests arriving, he’d set it aside. Thinking about it now made him break into a cold sweat. If something had gone wrong—if the book was lost or forgotten—then on the battlefield beyond the domain, the tens of millions of Great Qian’s settlers would become food for the enemy.

“Actually…” Su Changge said, “It was my son who found this book. He’s also the one who suggested we use fire attack.”

He found it both coincidental and lucky. Su Yun had casually grabbed something and came up with fire attack. He had randomly asked a question and got a book detailing the Seven Emotions Flame-Extinguishing Formation.

One small misstep and the war could have turned for the worse—maybe even dragged the Su family into disaster.

“Oh?” Minister Li suddenly remembered. “Bring your son here. I want to meet the lucky star of Great Qian!”

He was overjoyed. After all, this boy might have just saved the entire empire.

Soon, Xi Yaoyue returned with Su Yun in her arms.

She was still a little worried. These senior officials were discussing military affairs—why bring a child into it?

But her worries vanished quickly.

Minister Li pulled out a jade pendant and pressed it into Su Yun’s arms. “Here, Grandpa is giving this to you.”

Xi Yaoyue was startled. “This won’t do, Minister Li. It’s far too valuable!”

Even though she wasn’t involved in politics, she had heard of this treasure. Minister Li had risen through the ranks with only a Soul Sea 3rd stage cultivation, commanding over a hundred million elite soldiers. It was said that this Heaven’s Fortune Jade Pendant played a key role in his rise.

It enhanced one’s fortune and turned calamity into blessing. It radiated auspicious energy, attracting fortune from all directions. Whether in business or government, the bearer would always sail smoothly.

A sect master had once tried to trade a spiritual vein for it, but Minister Li had refused without hesitation.

And now—such a priceless item had been placed in Su Yun’s hands.

Xi Yaoyue said, “Minister Li, this jade pendant secures your career and position. Giving it to my child is a waste!”

Minister Li blinked like a mischievous old child. “I’m already the Minister of War. There’s no higher promotion for me. Why would I still need it?”

“Better to give it to this little fellow. With luck like his—casually flipping to a page and discovering a battle strategy? He might bring more blessings to Great Qian in the future. That benefits everyone!”

Xi Yaoyue still didn’t dare accept. “Minister Li…”

Minister Li chuckled. “I heard your son fell into the Youlan Pool yesterday. If there’s any lingering effect and he can’t cultivate, wouldn’t that be a disaster for Great Qian?”

“Let him wear it for a few days. If it helps ward off misfortune, you can return it later.”

With the Ministry of War’s reach, learning what had happened was effortless.

Xi Yaoyue hesitated but then clenched her teeth and nodded. “In that case… thank you, Minister Li.”

“Yun’er, thank Grandpa!”

Su Yun played with the jade pendant, looked up, and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Grandpa!”

“Ay!” Minister Li, being older, had no resistance to such an adorable and clever child.

Su Changge hesitated. “About the Youlan Pool incident, I hope Minister Li will look into it further.”

Minister Li’s kindly face flashed with a rare sharpness. “I’d like to see who dares harm my grandson.”

Su Changge felt like he was being taken advantage of, but the man was much older—so he had to endure.

After the incident yesterday, the Su Residence and the capital had both sent people to investigate, but no results had returned yet. With Minister Li involved, things would go smoothly now.

Whatever schemes were hidden, at least Su Yun’s lost Heavenly Bone had to be recovered.

General Wang scratched his head. “Am I supposed to give a gift too…?”

“Hey kid, I’m giving you this Cold War Sword!”

Clang!

He reached into his spatial pouch and pulled out a massive executioner’s sword.

The sword gleamed with silver light, carved with tiger patterns, radiating a bone-chilling aura.

The moment it appeared, the entire Su Residence turned cold.

All monsters and spirits hiding in the grass or trees instantly knelt in fear.

Its rank wasn’t high—just Earth-grade.

But after years of slaughter, it had been tempered with blood and souls, becoming a true weapon of war.

Planted on the battlefield, it could break enemy morale.

Wielded in hand, it could summon the murderous intent of thousands, unleashing a sea of blood and swords.

Minister Li huffed and glared, raising his hand to lock the sword in place with true qi.

No matter how the sword’s cold aura raged, it couldn’t escape his restraint.

“What if you scare my grandson!” he snapped.

General Wang scratched his head. “I… I don’t have fancy things like you two. That kid doesn’t need healing pills either.”

“Wait… when did he become your grandson?”

Minister Li glared. “He called me Grandpa. Of course he’s my grandson.”

Su Changge couldn’t help laughing. “Gentlemen, your gifts are too generous…”

Minister Li glared at him. “This is for my grandson. What’s it got to do with you?”

“Lady, take them.”

Xi Yaoyue sighed helplessly and accepted both the Heaven’s Fortune Jade Pendant and the Cold War Sword.

She pulled Su Yun along to thank Uncle Wang.

“You better take good care of my grandson!” Minister Li reminded sternly, beaming as he left to report to the Emperor of Great Qian.

After they left, Su Changge lifted Su Yun and gave him a big kiss. “You really are the Su family’s lucky star!”

He remembered the Crimson Moon Flowers his son had picked earlier. Each one brimmed with the essence of heaven and earth—terrifyingly complete in their source.

Now he had casually found a way to defeat the Northern Abyss Insects.

With such overwhelming fortune, the Su family was sure to rise in his hands.

They said Su Yun didn’t carry the Su family’s bloodline?

Heh, maybe not, but Su Yun’s children certainly would.

Su Changge was overjoyed.

Su Yun turned away with a frown. This man fresh from the battlefield reeked of stubble.

But soon, his attention shifted.

[Ding!]

[Mission Complete!]

[Re-enter the Heart of Darkness and unseal the seal.]

[Convince the upright Emperor Changge and have him return to your side.]

[The hardships endured will demonstrate the Demon Lord’s sincere desire for redemption.]

[Reward: Ancestor Blood of the Firmament!]

Su Yun muttered in his heart, “It really is one hardship after another.”
