章 177: Chapter 177 : Heaven And Hell Peak (2)

"It has been almost two months!" Lady Song wiped the non-existent tears from the tails of her eyes. "Two months, and no news at all! Oh, my son... My son, why must you worry your mother so? Do you not care about your mother anymore?"

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed nervously in an attempt to dilute the dramatic atmosphere that hung in the air.

"Crown Prince, apologies for the exaggeration. Fengxi, he... Ufff..."

Zhang Zhiyuan did not get to end his sentence because Lady Song rammed his back hard with the handle of her peacock fan. The lady gave him a warning look, which he interpreted as "Shut up now or sleep in the backyard tonight".

Zhang Zhiyuan was thereafter as quiet as a mouse. His wife was more than glad to steer the conversation to her intended goal.

"My son went to train at the dangerous Heaven and Hell Peak to prepare for the upcoming competition," Lady Song lamented.
