Chapter 71: Chapter 71 : The Three Realm Spear (3)

"Supreme General Zhang Fengxi, the troops have finished their training for the day. They are now waiting for your next instruction."

Zhang Fengxi opened his eyes slowly. When he inhaled a lungful of air, the sour smell of sweat entered his nose.

He let his eyes wander to capture his surroundings, before he bothered to look at the person who just now spoke to him.

In front of him was one of Li Guang’s trusted retainers. His head was bowed and his hands were cupped in respect.

"Raise your head."

The retainer eagerly looked up.

It was the exact same face as in the previous trial.

Zhang Fengxi was surprised that he remembered the face that he had not seen for almost six years now. It did not make him remember his name, though.

"Very well," Zhang Fengxi said. "I will check the battle formation."

When Zhang Fengxi rose from his seat, his armors made light clinking sounds.

In order to test its prospective masters, the Three Realm Spear set up a scenario that was deeply engraved in its heart.

It was one of the scenes from the war between the Heavenly Realm and the Demonic Realm.

The war ended with the defeat of the Demonic Realm and the destruction of the Realm Splitting Spear. In order to pass the scenario, it was important to keep a cool head at all times and remember that it was just a scenario and not reality.

The Realm Splitting Spear must never be destroyed, no matter what.

It was the only way to pass the scenario.

Zhang Fengxi walked out of the leather tent. He stepped close to the edge of a plateau and saw rows and rows of soldiers standing in perfect formations just beneath the plateau.

"All glory to the God of War and Destruction!" the captains shouted in unison.

"Glory!"

"Glory!"

"Glory!"

Zhang Fengxi dismissed their greetings with a hand wave. No matter how many times he saw this scene, he could not stop himself from being amazed.

Insane.

This was the war between two realms and he was the main character.

Speaking about the war, Zhang Fengxi suddenly remembered something else.

"My spear," he furrowed his brows at his retainer. "Where is my spear?"

The retainer shook slightly.

"This subject is sorry!" he quickly apologized. "Please wait here, Supreme General. I will bring you the Realm Splitting Spear soon."

"En."

Zhang Fengxi opened his mouth and gave some random instructions that he typically gave during war preparation.

They all knew what to do.

The soldiers merely required some encouragement from the general.

While many of these soldiers have fought wars previously, some had yet to experience one.

Zhang Fengxi felt especially sorry for those who had the bad luck of participating in a war this big for their first time.

Death was practically guaranteed. What didn’t kill one made one stronger.

"My Lord," a sweet voice was heard behind Zhang Fengxi, causing him to snap back to the scenario at hand.

Zhang Fengxi turned around as fast as lightning. He gaped at the beautiful face of Xie Jianyu, who was wearing a set of omega clothing under a winter fur cloak.

...

...

...

It took Zhang Fengxi some time before color drained from his face and his jaw dropped open.

Wait, why was it Xie Jianyu???

In his past life, it was Liu Wenyuan!!!

Liu Wenyuan wore this exact outfit and cloak and...

Zhang Fengxi’s eyes slowly wandered downward until they settled on Xie Jianyu’s swollen stomach. He was pregnant.

Zhang Fengxi’s mind turned blank. He could not think about anything anymore. He approached Xie Jianyu absent-mindedly, stretched out his arms, and took the pregnant Xie Jianyu into his arms.

"Jianyu," he heard himself whispering. "Jianyu..."

A myriad of emotions filled Zhang Fengxi’s heart, fighting for release. Joy. Relief. Sadness. Pain. All of them.

Xie Jianyu chuckled into his shoulder.

"What is it, my Lord? Do you miss me and the baby so much?"

"... Yes."

Terribly.

Zhang Fengxi went on his knees in front of Xie Jianyu. He rubbed the omega’s stomach and planted small kisses across it.

"Hi, baby," he whispered. "Hi, I am your father."

A beautiful smile spread on Xie Jianyu’s face. Happy with the attention, he ran his hands across Zhang Fengxi’s braided hair.

"Do you need to introduce yourself to your child?"

Zhang Fengxi let out a soft sigh.

"Yes."

At that time, the baby kicked in response. It was just a little kick against Zhang Fengxi’s palm, but he almost broke down in tears then and there.

"Oh, it looks like he also misses you," Xie Jianyu said.

Zhang Fengxi rose to his feet. He swept Xie Jianyu off his feet and carried him in his arms.

Meanwhile, the retainer came back with the Realm Splitting Spear that was shining in all its past glory.

Unfortunately, right now, Zhang Fengxi’s mind was occupied with something else.

"The formation is good enough," he said with a frown. "Ask everyone to take a good rest. We will leave tomorrow morning."

The Supreme General then left the training ground and carried his omega back into his tent.

Xie Jianyu laughed when Zhang Fengxi lowered him into his bed.

"My Lord, the sun is still up," he said coyly.

Zhang Fengxi could not care less if the sun was up or down.

He only wanted to do one thing right now, and that was to bundle Xie Jianyu up into a cocoon and keep him and their baby safe.

Zhang Fengxi wrapped his arms around Xie Jianyu from behind and rubbed his belly affectionately. The two lovers looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

"My Lord, what happened?"

"Nothing."

Zhang Fengxi took one of Xie Jianyu’s hands and kissed it.

"I just want you to be safe and happy."

"I am safe and happy when I am with you," Xie Jianyu said.

Gods.

Zhang Fengxi swallowed hard.

Was Xie Jianyu always this... lovely?

He squeezed Xie Jianyu’s chin and lowered his face to kiss the omega.
