Chapter 834: My Child, I Love You
“Mom…” Qin Feng’s voice trembled as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He had never had this memory before, so why did it feel so real now?
He could almost feel the gentle embrace, the woman’s soft words echoing in his ears, her breath tickling his earlobes.
The heartwarming scene played out like an old black and white movie from a bygone era, constantly changing in silence.
She was a carefree woman, unlike those refined ladies, she was not skilled in feminine arts.
She wanted to sew clothes for her newborn baby but ended up pricking her fingers full of blood.
She wanted to cook a delicious fish soup but nearly set the whole kitchen on fire.
Whenever she took care of the child, she would always bump and knock him around, making him cry incessantly.
But whenever danger approached, she was always the first to step forward, tightly holding the baby in her arms.
Perhaps feeling too overwhelmed, she knew she wasn’t cut out to be a good mother. So she complained to a handsome gentleman: “Jian’an, why don’t you marry another sensible girl who can help me with the trouble of raising the child? This little guy is so naughty, crying all the time, as if I was abusing him. “Everyone present wore a face of speechlessness. Weren’t all newborn babies like this? Moreover, the young master always cried, wasn’t it because Madam forgot to feed him or accidentally bumped him somewhere?
The young Father Qin sighed and said, “Madam, if it’s too much for you, you don’t have to take care of him. There are plenty of servants and maids in the mansion, just pick anyone.”
He dared not say the words, “Some of them might even do a better job than you.”
“Qin surname, what do you mean by that? Are you starting to dislike me now?”
“Of course not!” Father Qin waved his hand repeatedly, but even as the Ghost Head Commander, he had to tread carefully.
The warm family of three didn’t last long. As the chaos of the Northern Territory intensified, a letter fell into the Qin Mansion. Qin Jianan frowned when he saw it. He found an excuse and left with a smile.
From then on, she began to often inquire about news about the North, often holding the baby in her arms and staring in the direction of the north, lost in thought.
“Feng’er, do you think your father is foolish? Every time he uses the excuse of traveling for business, he really thinks I haven’t discovered his identity. Your mother is quite smart, you know.”
“Feng’er, don’t be like your father in the future, keeping everything from your family, bearing all burdens alone. Family is about sharing the joys and sorrows together.”
“Feng’er, grow up quickly, but don’t learn martial arts like your father. Study literature, become an official, and play around in the capital.”
“Never mind, never mind. The court is full of old cunning foxes. Just be a teacher, live peacefully, marry a few beautiful wives, and continue the family line.”
“Hmm, with your looks inheriting about half of your mother’s beauty, you’ll easily fool a few girls.”
“Feng’er, when do you think your father will come back?”
“Feng’er, the trouble in the Northern Territory seems to be getting worse. Your father will be fine, won’t he?”
“Madam, I heard that there is a temple in Imperial City that is particularly efficacious. Why not pray for the master’s safety?”
“Okay.”
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng suddenly remembered the words his father had said to him in the study. His mother had died during the demonic disasters while praying in the temple!
“No, don’t go.”
“Mom, don’t go!”
But how could his words reach the past?
Screams rang out as the roof of the temple was torn open, and a massive monster’s hand came crashing down.
The giant monster roared, “Primordial Qi!”
In a critical moment, the woman held the baby tightly in her arms, but the overwhelming pressure still put both her and the baby in imminent danger.
Just then, the Divine Guardian appeared, lifting the monster’s head with one hand and sweeping it out of the Imperial City.
“Feng’er, my Feng’er!” The woman’s breath was weak, and she looked heartbroken at the baby in her arms who had long since stopped crying.
Suddenly, a white phantom appeared before her, it was none other than the Heavenly Tower National Teacher.
He looked at the mother and child with sympathy.
Recognizing the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, the woman pleaded urgently, “Please, National Teacher, save my child! I’m willing to pay any price!”
“His life force is severed, and its beyond recovery,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head.
“How… How can that be? Right. You once said there’s something called Primordial Qi within me, which may save the world in the future, and that monster is after it. If I offer it, can my Feng’er be saved?”
The Heavenly Tower National Teacher frowned, “The transformation of Primordial Qi will lead to the loss of your life. Even the Primordial Qi may dissipate into the world.”
The woman grasped the key point in his words, and her eyes were filled with hope, “So, it’s possible, right?”
“Even if it’s possible, I won’t agree. You are the only variable born in thousands of years. What do you intend to do?”
The woman picked up a broken tile on the ground and put it against her throat. She threatened and begged, “If Feng’er dies, I don’t want to live alone. Please, National Teacher, grant my wish.”
“How can one person’s life be compared to the lives of all people in the world?”
“For a mother, her child is the whole world. Besides, that so-called Primordial Qi may also appear within Feng’er, right?” The woman’s eyes burned with determination.
After much deliberation, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, foreseeing only darkness in the future, perhaps moved by the mother’s love, or perhaps realizing that if he didn’t save the child, she would not choose to live on.
Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher sighed and finally agreed.
“Thank you, National Teacher!”
A dazzling formation lit up beneath the three, and the mysterious black aura slowly transferred from the woman’s body to the baby’s.
She could feel the vitality in her body fading rapidly, but she did not fear death. Instead, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Because the baby’s eyelids fluttered again, and the faint sound of a heartbeat resumed. To her, it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
One big, one small, two pairs of eyes met each other, the woman was smiling and crying at the same time.
“Feng’er, you must grow up well.”
“I’m sorry, Mom can’t accompany you anymore.”
“My child, I love you.”
The whispered words vanished in the wind, and a layer of mist filled the child’s bright black eyes.
Sadness, helplessness, fear!
Not long after, cries filled the air, lingering incessantly.
Boom!
In the depths of Qin Feng’s mind, it seemed that a corner had been brutally shattered.
He remembered, he remembered everything.
He wasn’t a transmigrator who arrived as an eighteen-year-old Qin Feng; he was Qin Feng from the very beginning!
When he transmigrated to this world, he was just a newborn baby!
He witnessed his own mother’s death, and the overwhelming grief made his brain choose self-preservation, causing him to forget the memories of his past life!
He hated his father because his father forgot about his mother and remarried.
And because of that, he hated his Second Mother and his younger brother, not wanting anything to do with them.
In his eyes, the family members seemed to be wearing a mask, which caused him to develop an emotional barrier between them!
It wasn’t until the crisis of life and death reappeared in Jinyang City that a corner of his memory was unlocked, reminding him of the matter of transmigration, making him forget the true reason why he hated his family.
“Mom, how could I forget you?” Qin Feng sobbed uncontrollably.
“Feng’er.” The fragmented memories shattered, and a transparent phantom slowly appeared.
