Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 279

Third-person POV

In the middle of the dreary forest, two tall figures raced towards the east. They leaped from branch to branch as if they were flying. But when they were halfway through their destination, Weisheng’s speed abruptly slowed and came into a halt. Di Shang concernedly glanced at Weisheng and approached Weisheng.

“Your Maj-” Di Shang’s voice instantly stopped at the sight of Weisheng’s dark face.

With his clenched tightly on the side, Weisheng’s red eyes glowed dangerously, “I will kill her.”

“Haah…” A sigh escaped from Rong Ai’s lips.

She gracefully sat on a wooden stool while her eyes were staring at the distance. One would assume that Rong Ai could keep her calm even under such a crucial but opposite to their expectation, Rong Ai’s heart was beating frivolously and her brain was in a mess.

It had been more than 17 hours and there was still no news about Zhang Wei’s wellbeing. Rong Ai had always been protective of her twin brother. She rose from her seat as she couldn’t put up on pretense by sitting idly. She couldn’t just put all of the burdens on her father’s shoulder just because he said that everything would be fine. As Weisheng’s daughter and Zhang Wei’s sister, she must do something to help even if it was not much.

Rong Ai rushed to one of the steeds that were enjoying the lush green grass. She unfastened the rope that prevented the steed from running away and was going to mount the steed when a large hand lifted her up into the air.

Sensing that the person was not easy to deal with, Rong Ai fluidly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and menacingly pointed her dagger on the eye of the person who caught her. Her hand instantly froze when she saw that it was the man that she was very familiar with.

“Uncle Xi?” Rong Ai said dazedly.

“Yes, my Little Princess?” Ah Xi smiled warmly despite the dagger was only an inch away from his eyeball.

(A/N: Ah Xi is Hong er’s shadow guard as well as Ah Tong. Just as FYI, because I forgot their names lol. I admit that the character that I created was too many.)

Rong Ai immediately put down her dagger and her head lowered in guilt. Ah Xi helplessly smiled at Rong Ai and put her down onto the ground.

“Where is Your Highness Princess Rong going so sneakily?” Ah Xi asked jokingly as he tied the horse’s rain back.

“Ah Wei was gone and I am going to help Imperial Father to find him.” Rong Ai said with her head lowered.

“Your Highness Princess Rong, please lift up your head.” Ah Xi warmly said to Rong Ai.

Rong Ai obediently raised her chin and stared at Ah Xi with her glassy eyes.

Ah Xi’s heart instantly melted at the sight of the teary Rong Ai, ‘The Little Princess looked exactly like Her Majesty Empress. So cute ah~’

“Aiya Your Highness Princess Rong, don’t cry oh. His Majesty Emperor will definitely bring His Highness Prince back safely. And if His Majesty Emperor found you crying like this, my head would be gone ah, aiyo this is really bad.” Ah Xi acted as if he was very distressed by Rong Ai’s tears.

Just like what Ah Xi wanted, Rong Ai giggled at the foolish act of an uncle in his mid-forties.

“How about we return to the camp, You Highness Princess Rong?” Ah Xi crouched to the same eye level as Rong Ai.

At first, Rong Ai wanted to refute and insist on going to see her father but seeing Ah Xi’s genuine concerned face, she swallowed back her words and nodded her head. Ah Xi held out his hand to Rong Ai and Rong Ai wordlessly took his hand.

Rong Ai looked up and saw Bing Wen stood not far from her current spot while staring at her with a pale face. She felt somewhat guilty for making everyone around her worry about her.

Just as she was about to open her lips to apologize, a loud roar came from their camp.

“Greetings to Your Majesty Emperor! General Di” The soldiers kneeled on one knee and lowered their head to the two men.

Weisheng’s eyes immediately landed on Rong Ai’s astonished face. The corner of his lips faintly arched into a gentle smile. He turned his body and dignifiedly walked to Rong Ai.

“Imperial Father, you are back!” The hand that was holding Ah Xi’s hand released and she dashed towards Weisheng like an arrow from a bow.

But as she got nearer and nearer to Weisheng, she noticed that her twin brother was not with her father. Yet, why was her father look so happy? His eyes were free of worries, his face was glowing with radiance. Rong Ai never seen his father being this unperturbed before which was why it caught her off guard. Even if he was gleeful from seeing her, he would still mull over the disappearance of his son.

Although her heart was suspicious of Weisheng’s current behavior, her legs didn’t stop making its way to Weisheng. Rong Ai halted right in front of Weisheng and bent her knees into a graceful obeisance. Weisheng nodded his head and approached his lovely daughter.

But before he could speak, Rong Ai was a step ahead of him. “Imperial Father, where is Ah Wei?”

Weisheng’s indifferent eyes became warmer when he was reminded by what he saw just an hour ago.

“Ah Wei is fine and he is doing a task that Father gave him.” Weisheng patiently explained to Rong Ai.

Rong Ai’s brows knitted into a frown. Her father was not an unreasonable person and on top of it, her father occasionally spoiled them without him even realizing it. And now, he gave a task to the injured Sheng Wei? Rong Ai was full of confusion.

“Don’t worry, Meiyun is there to help him.” Weisheng quickly reassured Ron Ai as soon as he saw the wrinkle on Rong Ai’s forehead.

Rong Ai wasn’t given a chance to retaliate as Weisheng had answered her question even before she opened her lips. She lowered her head in meaning that she understood. Weisheng let out a helpless sigh as he saw his daughter was in a low mood.

“Do you want to see your mother?” Weisheng spat out this question without hesitation.

“Imperial Mother is not- wai- what?!” Rong Ai gawked.

“I found her, I finally found your mother,” Weisheng said with visible excitement.

‘We finally reunited.’
