Chapter 294: Returning Home

The Spirit Ring that needed to be obtained has been obtained, and the target that needed to be fooled has also been fooled.

Afterwards, Feihuang followed his mother and returned to Gu Lei Royal City.

In any case, it would still take the Azure Bull Python some time to find Tang Hao; it would not happen overnight.

Moreover, it is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast after all; leaving the Star Dou Great Forest and traveling through ordinary forests requires it to keep a low profile, and it might even only move at night, otherwise it would certainly attract all the high-level Spirit Masters on the entire continent.

According to Nan Feihuang's estimation, it would take half a month at the fastest, and a month at the slowest; that should be about right.

Taking advantage of this time, Lan Xue would also have enough time to absorb two soul bones, using extreme quantitative change to forcibly induce a qualitative change, break through to level 96, and stabilize her soul power.

Nan Tianchen was currently in the Imperial Study handling government affairs when a eunuch ran over quickly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy! The Crown Prince and the Queen have returned."

How could someone who just came out of Slaughter City have such a peaceful state of mind? And be able to speak so calmly about missing their father?

Furthermore, there was not a shred of killing intent on his son's entire body; he would have believed it if he said he had gone on a vacation for the past year.

It is just that a father's love is like a mountain, and a mother's love is like water.

"Father, I missed you very much!" Nan Feihuang did not have so many twists and turns; he was too lazy to maintain any Crown Prince image. Having not seen his family for so long, he missed his mother, and of course, he missed his father too.

Do not look at him as the ruler of a country; he is a father after all. His son went to such a dangerous place as Slaughter City, so he was also extremely worried.

It was just that compared to Lan Xue, he appeared stronger. In the past year or so, every time he saw Lan Xue blankly looking in the direction of Slaughter City in worry, it was he who spoke to comfort her, telling her how outstanding their son was and that he would absolutely be fine.

Etiquette can make people understand restraint, and music can make people's hearts calm.

Although this father was usually very majestic, his love for him was no less than his mother's; Nan Feihuang understood this very well.

Back then, before Nan Feiyan and Nan Feilian were married off, they had both studied there.

Nan Tianchen waved his hand, "How dare you point your weapons at the Crown Prince! Do you not want to live anymore? All of you, withdraw."

"Eh, that's not right." Nan Tianchen suddenly thought of something, "You brat, did you really go to Slaughter City this year? You didn't just go somewhere to play, did you?"

Nan Tianchen was stunned; Nan Feihuang was truly completely different from a conventional Crown Prince.

Although Feihuang was not well-versed in art, he would not look down on the word "art." In this world, everything has its uniqueness.

When Tang Hao and Lan Xue fought on the mountaintop back then, he was one of the onlookers, which was why he was able to save Lan Xue so perfectly.

"Hehe, Tianchen, you were also startled, right? Actually, I was the same at the time. I didn't expect Huang'er to be so gifted. Inside Slaughter City, he could cultivate while controlling his temperament. Just after obtaining the Killing God Domain, he was already able to control it with ease, and its power is far stronger than others who have just obtained this domain." Lan Xue smiled, "This palace believes that as long as Huang'er grows up, his Killing God Domain will definitely far surpass Tang Hao and Bibi Dong."

It has resulted in both of them actually lacking some aristocratic temperament now. Nan Feihuang is still okay, just lacking in etiquette and a sense of majesty, while Nan Feiling has been raised completely crooked, no different from a wild female Spirit Master. If she were put outside and did not reveal her identity, who would be able to tell that she is actually a Princess?

If it were Xue Qinghe or Dai Weisi, they would definitely step forward and express some sentiments, saying things like this was all due to imperial grace and the protection of the nation that the trip went so smoothly.

"It really is the Killing God Domain; the power is so astonishing." Nan Tianchen thought to himself; it was not his first time feeling the Killing God Domain.

This killing intent was truly too terrifying; was this Crown Prince planning to commit patricide?

The Gu Lei Kingdom is a country after all, and it has its own court etiquette class, so there was no need to go as far as Yuexuan.

"Really?" Nan Tianchen was overjoyed, threw away the brush in his hand, stood up, and rushed out of the Imperial Study.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The captain of the guards hurriedly retracted his weapon. His action just now was also subconscious; under such killing intent, no one would remain indifferent.

Lan Xue watched this scene with a smile. Fatherly kindness and filial piety, a harmonious family—she only felt that she had not married the wrong person back then. At this moment, she was even a little grateful to Tang Hao; if not for that hammer back then, she would not have such a good husband and such an outstanding son.

"It's just that I originally planned to send Huang'er to learn court etiquette. The etiquette teacher had prepared for a full half-year just to teach this Crown Prince well, but it all ended up being in vain, which really makes one feel sorry," Nan Tianchen said helplessly.

But at that time, Tang Hao's Killing God Domain was far from being as tyrannical as his son's. The Tang Hao of that time was already a Spirit Saint capable of activating his Spirit Avatar, yet he could not compare to his son who had just come out of Slaughter City.

Seeing his wife and son walking over from afar, Nan Tianchen suppressed the joy in his heart and maintained his majestic character as a King. He waited until the two of them walked close before saying with gratification, "You've returned. Very good. You are worthy of being my son. You broke out of Slaughter City in a year and a half; you have likely broken the record of Slaughter City."

Nan Tianchen had long since given instructions that if his son and wife returned, there was no need to request an audience; they should come directly to tell him. He would not only pardon them of any offense but also reward them.

Because Nan Feihuang and Nan Feiling both had excellent aptitude, Nan Tianchen did not want to waste their precious cultivation time, which was why he had never let them go.

His love for him was not as gentle and inclusive as Lan Xue's, but carried a lot of meaning regarding urging him to grow.

A person who has cultivated etiquette and music to an extremely high realm will never be a mediocre person.

He has fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband very well.

Yet this simple sentence from Nan Feihuang directly caused Nan Tianchen to break his composure. He could not help but step forward, hold his son's head, and stroke it, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!!!"

Nan Feihuang knew that explaining would not work, so he directly activated his Killing God Domain as proof. The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and the thick killing intent made the surrounding palace guards subconsciously draw their weapons and point them at Nan Feihuang.

It was very official and very much in line with the etiquette and persona of a Crown Prince, but it made the bond between father and son inevitably somewhat distant, as if an official were speaking to an emperor.

He and Tang Hao had actually thought of the same method: using the study of etiquette, music, and other methods to suppress the violent killing intent.

Thinking of this, Nan Feihuang smiled, "Father, there is no need to mind. Since it has been prepared for me, I cannot waste it. In my spare time from cultivation, if I have leisure, I am still willing to go and seek guidance from the court etiquette teacher."

"Good, as long as it does not delay your cultivation." Nan Tianchen nodded, "You should return to the Eastern Palace first; someone has been waiting for you there for a long time. Her longing for you is no less than mine and your mother's."
