The not-so-noisy banquet is over.

And Feili, who has returned home, is not in a good mood now--it can be seen from the look in his eyes.

As if the sword was covered with dust, the gaze lost its freedom and sharpness. Now Feili no longer seems to be the martial god who is detached from the world, but an ordinary person with all kinds of troubles.

There's nothing strange about this, even gods have countless troubles...... If someone else said such a thing, it might be that standing and talking would not hurt the back, but for Feili, who often deals with the gods, this is indeed true.

Sitting in the hallway of his house, he seemed to be looking at the moon in the sky, but only seemingly.

"Is there something wrong? Mother?"

Before he even knew who he was, he could know who was close to him.

――――The unparalleled sage in heaven and the world, Bayi Yonglin.

And also his mother.

The latter is especially important for Feili.

"What to say...... It's true, it's nothing, I'm just ......."

As she spoke, she walked over to Feili's side.

Judging from her appearance, she has long passed the age of a girl, but no one will deny that she is a beauty.?

When I see her, I can understand it to some extent...... Feili is indeed her son.

Just from the appearance, you can see the relationship between the two at a glance, they are so similar.

However, in fact, the fact that the two people who have such a mother-son appearance have no blood relationship with each other cannot but be amazed--at least, Bayi Yonglin said so, and Feili is also convinced of his mother's words, so no one is particularly serious about exploring this matter.

"You're not in a good mood...... Did something happen?"

Without using adjectives such as "looks" and "seems", Bayi Yonglin could clearly feel it...... His son is in a bad mood.

As a mother, isn't it natural to solve problems for your children?

「…… I'm not the kid I used to be, mother."

Tsukino's mind chuckled softly, as if he had heard something funny...... It's not the kind of vulgar laughter, but it also represents a negation of Fei's words.

"No matter how old a child is, a child will only be a child in a mother's heart...... You should remember this sentence, Ah Fei."

Child...... How many years have I not heard this name?

Fei Li doesn't remember very well.

The title "child" is undoubtedly extremely inappropriate for him, and in fact, his self-esteem does not allow it to be called so.

But today, he can only smile wryly without words.

If there is anyone in the world who can talk to Fei Li like this, it can only be his mother, Bayi Yonglin.

However, even so, don't expect him to be obediently tied up, that's never his style.

「…… You are not wrong at all, but please do not forget that when you reach adulthood, the mother's duty is no longer what the child shares, but conversely, the child has the obligation to support the mother."

「…… I haven't noticed it, but it seems that at some point, your words have become a lot sharper. Did you follow my advice to study debate?"

With a new look, Yonglin looked at Fei Li---that said, that is, the degree of surprise that "the person I know has changed his hairstyle".

"Hmph, when dealing with a guy like Yakumo Zi, it's not good if the words aren't sharp, that guy's lip and tongue skills are not covered."

Calmly revealed the reason for the change, but this answer made the moon mind raise an eyebrow.

-- The drastic change was influenced by a monster on the ground. Bayi Yonglin, who realized this, was slightly displeased.

In the end, though, she didn't say anything.

That is, this level of change, there is nothing to make a fuss about, just like people will progress, and this kind of change can be regarded as a kind of progress.

"I'm glad to see that you've made progress in this area...... But put this aside for now, and tell Mom what bothers you so much?"

"The so-called killing of 10,000 enemies will cost you 3,000."

He didn't refuse his mother's concern anymore, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I went to the banquet to make Yakumo Purple unhappy......

It's like a child.

This feeling was not spoken, and at this moment, the head of the moon, who was incarnated as the best listener, said nothing.

"That's right...... My deliberate approach to the Witch of Hakurei was indeed successful in disgusting the woman, but I myself was not much better."

The immortal wine from heaven can indeed make people forget their troubles -- but when the power of the wine has passed, all the worries and knots that have accumulated in the heart will return.

And it was a breath that came to my heart.

It was not a pleasant taste, especially for a guy like Feili who had lived for a long time.

If you live for a long time, there will be more stories, and if there are more stories, there will inevitably be more regrets.

His senior brother, Yinlin Sword Saint Gao, the Dark Beast God Fist Iron Army, the death of the fierce thunder slashing god Tianwee......

The grudge with Yakumo Zi, the evil fate with Huo Qing'e, and the encounter with the first generation of Hakurei witches......

There are so many things that make him haunted.

The immortal wine from Da Luo Tian is not only for the immortals to taste, but also has the ability to sharpen the soul and make it reach the realm of otherworldliness.

In Buddhism, there is a saying that "afflictions are bodhi", and as long as you can break through your afflictions and gain freedom, you will be able to achieve positive results.

Fei Li didn't know if the guys who drank with him had already reached enlightenment because of this; However, what he can be sure of is that he is still not far from that realm.

"Now look back on my life...... There are many things to regret."

Why regret it?

Because there is a mistake, because there is a shame.

He is not the kind of guy who can say "I have no regrets in my life", for him, there are too many facts that need to be regretted in a life spanning 10,000 years.

He can have no complaints, because at least every choice is decided by his own will, but he can't be without regrets...... If you do something wrong, don't you take regret for granted?

"Who doesn't regret it...... But your integrity makes you regret a lot of things."

Hearing her son's sad voice, which had lost her former flying, Bayi Yonglin spoke in a tone that seemed to understand everything, and she tried to appease Feili.

But in fact, she didn't understand.

Regret is not without it, but it has not been able to become a shadow in her heart and make her linger.

As a mother and son, although they are similar on the outside, the gap on the inside is bigger than imagined. Fei Li and his mother are two different types of people.

If you want to use an analogy, Bayi Yonglin is a hero who will do anything to achieve his goals, and Feili is a hero who pays attention to faith and righteousness.

The former is able to do whatever he wants because he has no superfluous self-limitations, while the latter is often in trouble because of his so-called heroism -- sometimes, Bayi Yonglin really doesn't understand what his son is doing.

Why risk your life to fight the enemy alone when there is a better and less effort-saving way?

For honor, faith, or something else? Since the final result is to kill the other party, what is the difference between the different processes?

Most of these heroes failed to get the fate of their identity, probably because of this kind of spirit that she didn't know what to say.

Bayi Yonglin thinks so.

But Feili is her son after all, and if he wants to be stupid, she will stop him, but Feili's behavior is not stupid...... To put it mildly, he has long been a "fool" in the eyes of a "smart person".

Every time she thinks of this, Bayi Yonglin will be quite remorseful...... If she didn't let Fei Li learn martial arts with his three senior brothers, would her son not be like this, and still pursue morality and glory on the battlefield?

Eight Meanings Yonglin doesn't know, even the sage of the moon can't make regret medicine.

This matter is probably one of the few things that makes Bayi Yonglin regret it to this day.

"You don't have to say anything...... People like to reminisce about the past when they're old, but honestly, I'm not interested in struggling with the not-so-pleasant ones."

Feili stood up, turned his head to look down at his mother, and said.

Looking directly at the dark gray pupils, apart from tenderness and love, all Feili could see was his own reflection.

He couldn't help but smile.

Although it is not the free and easy smile of the past, it is undoubtedly much better than the heavy expression just now.

"I'm worried about you, Mom. But no, I'm not obsessed with the past...... All I care about is the present and the future. Now I'm just a little depressed."

Hearing this, Bayi Yonglin didn't say anything, but cast his searching gaze on Feili.

However, nothing was to be seen.

The handsome face, which seemed to have been carved by a peerless craftsman, was now as if it had really been carved in stone, and it did not change.

Although he is an upright person, this does not mean that Feili is a simple guy. Under the washing of 10,000 years, even if the body is still young, it is difficult for the soul to flicker as before.

Yonglin sighed helplessly, as if she felt helpless against an awkward child, and that demeanor made Feili feel an urge to cover her face.

"If you say so, then I won't ask any more questions--although children will always be children in the hearts of parents, but there will still be a day when they grow up."

Stretching out his right hand, Tsukino's mind gently stroked his son's face.

"But since you're in a bad mood, ...... I'm going to find a way to make you happier."
