Immortal God of War

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1138: The Warmth of Home

On the table.

There is water, flour, and sugar.

The woman in white is seated at the table, her face rosy, making all kinds of exquisite pastries.

Two maids sit beside her helping out.

One of the maids says with a smile, "Madam, if His Highness knew that you make so many pastries for him every day, he would surely be extremely touched."

"Really?"

The woman in white asks with a smile.

"Of course."

"It’s just, we don’t know when His Highness will return."

The two maids say, a hint of longing in their expressions.

The woman in white glances out the window, smiles, and says, "He will come back sooner or later."

Tap tap!

Before she finished speaking.

A sound of footsteps arises.

"Huh?"

"Is someone coming?"

"Who would come here?"

"Could it be His Majesty?"

The two maids hear the footsteps and immediately look towards the staircase with a hint of suspicion on their faces.

"Why don’t you go and see?"

The woman in white says with a smile.

"Alright."

The two maids put down what they were doing and get up to head towards the staircase.

But after they take just two steps, they freeze.

At the top of the stairs, they see a familiar figure slowly walk up.

"Are we seeing things?"

The two maids look at each other, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

Their faces are full of disbelief.

After rubbing their eyes and looking again, they see that familiar figure already standing outside the hall door.

No doubt about it!

This person is indeed Qin Feiyang.

He stands outside the door, looking at his mother’s back, his eyes involuntarily warm up.

At the same time.

The woman in white notices the maids’ reaction, looks at them in confusion and asks with a smile, "Who’s here that has surprised you so much?"

"It’s..."

The two maids point at Qin Feiyang outside the door, stumbling over their words, unable to form a complete sentence for a while.

The woman in white becomes more curious and turns to look towards the door.

Immediately!

Her smile also freezes on her face.

"Mother..."

Qin Feiyang softly calls, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Hearing this familiar call, the woman in white trembles, slowly stands up, and looks at Qin Feiyang, feeling as if she’s dreaming.

"Mother, I’m back."

Qin Feiyang moves his steps, walking towards his mother while softly murmuring.

Until Qin Feiyang stands in front of her, the woman in white still hasn’t come back to her senses.

"Wait!"

Suddenly.

The two maids seem to think of something and step in front of the woman in white, cautiously looking at Qin Feiyang.

"Huh?"

Qin Feiyang is taken aback, what does this mean?

The woman in white finally returns to her senses, looking at them in confusion.

"Madam, His Highness went to the Forgotten Continent, he shouldn’t be back so soon."

"Moreover, if His Highness truly returned, the Black Iron Army guarding Butterfly Valley would have stopped him and immediately reported to His Majesty."

"But now, there hasn’t been a single disturbance at the Imperial Palace."

"So we suspect that he is an impostor!"

The two maids’ logical analysis surprises Qin Feiyang; he didn’t expect that the two maids by his mother’s side would be so astute.

Of course.

He certainly wouldn’t be angry because of this.

Because the reason they are so vigilant is for his mother’s safety.

In other words.

These two maids genuinely and loyally stay by his mother’s side.

After listening to what the maids said, there’s now a hint of wariness in the woman in white’s eyebrows as well.

Qin Feiyang says nothing, directly taking out the Eye of Heaven Stone, holding it in his hand.

Time passes second by second.

The Eye of Heaven Stone shows no reaction, and Qin Feiyang’s appearance has not changed at all.

"It really is you, Feiyang..."

The woman in white glances at the Eye of Heaven Stone, then looks at Qin Feiyang’s face, her eyes instantly filling with uncontrollable tears.

"Mother."

Qin Feiyang puts away the Eye of Heaven Stone, preparing to dive into his mother’s embrace to enjoy the long-lost motherly love.

But at this moment!

One of the maids again stretches out her hand, stopping Qin Feiyang.

"What do you want now?"

Qin Feiyang grows a bit annoyed.

The maid takes out another Eye of Heaven Stone from her own Qiankun Bag, handing it to Qin Feiyang, saying, "I have to suspect that there might be something wrong with your Eye of Heaven Stone, so you must try mine."

Qin Feiyang’s face turns dark, and the joy of reunion vanishes instantly.

He grabs the Eye of Heaven Stone.

A moment passes.

The Eye of Heaven Stone and his face still show no change.

Qin Feiyang looks at the two maids, saying, "Ladies, do you believe now?"

"This..."

The two maids look at each other, joy climbing onto their faces instantly, and they hurriedly kneel on one knee, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Qin Feiyang rubs his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

The woman in white laughs, "Feiyang, don’t blame them, they mean well."

"I understand."

Qin Feiyang nods, looking at the two maids, and says with a smile, "Stand up, I am no longer a prince, don’t give me such a big courtesy."

"No!"

"In our eyes, you will always be our Fourteenth Highness!"

The two maids stand up and look at Qin Feiyang with unwavering determination in their eyes.

Qin Feiyang smiled, examining his mother’s face.

Indeed, as the Kylin Army Commander said, his mother was in much better condition than before, looking full of spirit.

"Come, let me have a look at you and see if you’ve changed."

The woman in white grabbed Qin Feiyang’s hand, sat by the wooden table, and scrutinized him carefully from head to toe.

Qin Feiyang smiled silently.

After a moment.

The woman in white laughed, "You have changed, become more mature, steady, and charming. Surely many girls must like you!"

"Mother..."

Qin Feiyang blushed.

The two maids exchanged glances, unable to suppress their laughter.

"Still laughing?"

Qin Feiyang glared at them.

He originally had many things he wanted to say to his mother, but with the interruption from these two girls, he now didn’t know what to say.

The two girls had been by the woman in white’s side for many years, loyal as ever. Seeing Qin Feiyang glare at them, they weren’t frightened at all; instead, they stuck out their tongues at Qin Feiyang playfully, looking quite adorable.

Qin Feiyang shook his head helplessly.

"Your Highness, when did you return? Why was there no commotion at all?"

"Yes, isn’t that strange?"

"Did you buy off all those Black Iron soldiers in Butterfly Valley?"

The two girls curiously asked.

"Yes, Feiyang, what’s going on?"

The woman in white also remembered this and looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang smiled bitterly, "How could I have the capability to buy them off? However, if I wanted to kill them, I could still manage that."

"Kill them?"

"I heard that guarding Butterfly Valley is not only the Black Iron Army but also a deputy commander from the Black Iron Army, and he has the Nine-Star War Saint cultivation!"

The two maids expressed their doubts.

"So what if he’s a Nine-Star War Saint?"

Qin Feiyang sneered.

The two maids held their breath; such a domineering statement!

The woman in white also paused for a moment, then earnestly gauged Qin Feiyang’s cultivation, her eyes suddenly brightened, "Have you already broken through to Four-Star War Saint?"

"Yes."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"So fast?"

"Your Highness truly deserves the title of the foremost prodigy of the Great Qin Empire!"

The two maids were incredibly shocked, their eyes full of admiration.

But one of the maids immediately said, "No, even if your Highness has stepped into Four-Star War Saint, it’s impossible to kill a Nine-Star War Saint!"

"Why do you have so many questions? Can’t you allow me and my mother to enjoy some peace together?"

Qin Feiyang got angry.

"We’re just happy for you!"

"Since Your Highness is getting impatient, we won’t ask anymore."

The two maids smiled awkwardly, retreated behind the woman in white, and fell silent.

Qin Feiyang was extremely helpless, looking at the woman in white in puzzlement, "Mother, isn’t Purple Brilliance Palace supposed to not allow maids? How are they here?"

"We must thank the Kylin Army Commander for that."

"Yes, he is indeed a good person."

The two maids spoke up again.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

"At first, when Madam was sent to Purple Brilliance Palace, we wanted to come along."

"After all these years, Madam treated us like family, and we couldn’t bear to leave her."

"But His Majesty did not allow it, saying that there was no need for maids to serve in the cold palace."

"Later, the Kylin Army Commander came to visit Madam and found her too lonely here, so he went to plead with His Majesty on her behalf."

"After much persuasion, His Majesty finally agreed to let us come over and accompany Madam."

Those two maids sighed.

Hearing these words, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but clench his hands tightly.

As the saying goes, a day of marriage leads to a hundred days of grace; was there a need to go to such extremes? Not even granting two maids?

"Alright, alright, that’s all in the past, let’s not mention it anymore."

The woman in white waved her hand with a smile, looking at Qin Feiyang, and said, "Tell me, what have you been doing all this time on the Forgotten Continent?"

"Okay."

Qin Feiyang nodded, suppressing his inner anger, and recounted his experiences over this time without holding back.

The woman in white listened, finding it both thrilling and nerve-wracking.

She felt both heartache and pride.

The heartache was because he had gone through so many trials in just a few months.

And pride because, despite being hunted by so many powerful individuals, Qin Feiyang managed to survive; just this ability alone was enough to leave others far behind.

"It’s because of my incapability that I couldn’t provide you a peaceful environment, making you face so many hardships at such a young age."

She blamed herself.

"No."

"I never blamed mother, nor do I have the right to blame her."

"On the contrary, I blame myself."

"Why am I so weak that even staying by my mother’s side requires someone else’s permission?"

Qin Feiyang hung his head, hands clenched tightly.

Seeing Qin Feiyang’s pained expression, the two maids felt a pang of sadness, tears streaming down.

The woman in white couldn’t help but feel saddened as well.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the three people, released his hands, and smiled, "It’s hard to meet with mother, so let’s leave those unhappy things aside."

"Yes, yes, let’s not talk about it."

The woman in white nodded, then looked at the two maids, pointing at the pastries on the table with a smile, "Go steam those pastries, let Feiyang have a taste."

"Pastries?"

Only then did Qin Feiyang notice the table full of various pastries and asked suspiciously, "Mother, you’re the only one here, why make so many pastries?"

One of the maids said, "These were made especially for you by Madam."

"For me?"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback, surprised, "Did mother know I would come back today?"

"No."

The woman in white shook her head.

Qin Feiyang was even more puzzled.

Not knowing, yet making so many?

"Your Highness, perhaps you don’t know, ever since you left, Madam makes these pastries every day."

"Because Madam doesn’t know which day you’ll return."

"She just hopes that when you return, you can taste something made by her hands, giving you a sense of home’s warmth."

Those two maids explained.
