Chapter 73: Chapter 73 : The Three Realm Spear (5)

In the past, the Three Realm Spear was hurt deeply by Li Guang. Li Guang’s betrayal not only hurt the spear but also diminished its power greatly.

It was hardly a shadow of its former self, back when it just gained its secondary form.

This was a great blow for a legendary weapon of the Three Realm Spear’s grade.

Therefore, the spear wished to belong to a master who would cherish it as much as it cherished its master. In order to safeguard its wish, the spear looked deep into the prospective masters’ hearts and designed trials to test their attachment to the weapon.

Alas, Li Guang was not the only one who was weak against the people he loved. Gods, heavenly creatures, humans, and demons, all of those who coveted the spear had someone they loved more than a spear.

In its bitterness, the Three Realm Spear designed harder and harder trials.

Zhang Fengxi went to the trial thinking that he was going to face the same scenario as the last time.

In his previous life, Liu Wenyuan played Li Shan who tried to kill Zhang Fengxi and then died due to a backlash from the spear.

Liu Wenyuan too, died in Zhang Fengxi’s arms.

At that time, Zhang Fengxi was heartbroken when he cradled his lover’s corpse. Still, he was able to maintain his reason and not unleash his anger at the Three Realm Spear.

When he saw the bloody corpse of the pregnant Xie Jianyu, though, all senses disappeared from Zhang Fengxi’s mind.

He took the spear and started destroying the entire tent.

All he wanted to do was to make the world disappear.

He wanted the pain, the suffering to stop.

He wanted to be able to breathe again.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Blinded by tears, Zhang Fengxi swung his spear around like a madman.

"Xie Jianyu! Xie Jianyu!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

He lost him again.

The image of Xie Jianyu in his omega clothing flashed in Zhang Fengxi’s mind. When he put both hands around his belly, he was glowing with happiness. They were so happy.

"WHYYYYYY???? WHYYYYYYY? JUST KILL MEEEEE!!! JUST KILL MEEEEE!!!"

Zhang Fengxi threw the spear to the ground and fell to his knees. He wailed like a little child while he kowtowed in front of Xie Jianyu’s corpse. He banged his head to the ground again and again in a futile attempt to ask for the omega’s forgiveness.

"Xie Jianyu..."

Zhang Fengxi lay next to Xie Jianyu’s corpse and held his hand tight in his.

"Xie Jianyu..."

Zhang Fengxi did not know how many times he called Xie Jianyu’s name. Probably every time he drew a breath. It hurt so much.

He wanted to die.

He wanted to die so badly...

Zhang Fengxi closed his eyes.

"Please, Gods," he said in his heart. "Please, just kill me."

That was all he thought about until depression overwhelmed him and forced him to sleep.

...

[Master...]

[Master, you did it...]

[Finally, after hundreds of years...]

...

A very long and dreadful silence followed, before a syllable appeared at the surface.

Xi...

Fengxi...

"Prince Zhang Fengxi!"

Someone tapped at his cheeks repeatedly.

Zhang Fengxi’s eyes fluttered open. Commandant Jiang loomed over him like a huge tree. Relief was written all over his face the moment Zhang Fengxi woke up.

"Good Gods! I thought that..."

Commandant Jiang wiped sweat off his forehead. He then helped Zhang Fengxi to a sitting position.

"Are you alright? You are..."

Zhang Fengxi looked down on himself. The palms of his hands were full of purplish lacerations. He had a few scratch marks on his face and a few bruises on his arms and legs. Probably from the time he ran amok inside the tent.

Otherwise, there was not a single drop of blood.

Zhang Fengxi rubbed at a spot between his brows.

It was all an illusion, he knew that.

The Three Realm Spear took the images from his head and used them to create a scenario. And yet, the pain was real.

The depression was real.

He thought that he forgot all about it after he returned to the past, but he did not. He merely suppressed it deep in his heart, pretending that he was fine because Xie Jianyu was not dead yet in this life.

But Xie Jianyu really did die in his past life.

Zhang Fengxi drew his legs to his chest and hugged them like a little child.

"Prince Zhang Fengxi, you did it," Commandant Jiang beamed at him.

The Three Realm Spear, the insolent weapon that dug into Zhang Fengxi’s deepest, sorrowful memories and stirred inside without a single drop of conscience, lay innocently on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Abyssal Ice Pond had returned to its initial appearance. Without a prisoner to keep, there was no need to maintain its frozen state.

"..."

Zhang Fengxi didn’t want to admit it, but at this time he hated the Three Realm Spear so much that he might just snap it into ten pieces. It took him every ounce of his self-control to take the spear into his hands and bring it home.

The entire Longjing Palace erupted into a celebratory cheer when the heir came back with the most outstanding spear in the world.

Zhang Zhiyuan wiped tears off the tails of his eyes and ran into his bedroom, screaming that he needed to meditate and that no one should disturb him.

Lady Song excitedly asked the servants to come and clean the spear from grime and dirt.

She then spent a whole afternoon listening to Zhang Fengxi’s heroic tale of subjugation from Commandant Jiang.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fengxi excused himself to rest after a long journey and a harrowing trial.

Although he successfully gained ownership over the Three Realm Spear, he was far from being happy. He was not able to rejoice.

When he closed his eyes, he could still recall the vivid experience of kissing Xie Jianyu’s sweet lips and feeling the baby kick against his hand.

Zhang Fengxi’s chest hurt immensely.

He had lost something really precious.

He wanted Xie Jianyu back. He wanted their baby back.

Unable to calm his mind and rest in his bedroom, the prince climbed on top of his spiritual tiger and headed to Fuxi Palace instead.
