Chapter 1011 – A Familiar Voice

Once he was in front of the door, Yuan subconsciously opened the door and entered it, all of his movements feeling incredibly natural, almost as though he’d done the same actions for years.

“Welcome home.” A familiar voice suddenly resounded from the second floor.

‘Huh?’ Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this noise. Even without needing to look into his memories, he recognized this voice very well. However, why would this voice appear in this place? That part didn’t make sense at all.

Yuan ignored everything on the first floor and quickly made his way onto the second floor of the building.

There were three rooms on the second floor. Only one of these rooms had a closed door, so Yuan approached that room.

After knocking on the door, he spoke, “Is it okay if I come inside?”

“Of course. This is your room as well.” The familiar voice returned again.

Yuan swallowed nervously before opening the door very slowly.

Once the door was opened wide enough, Yuan looked into the room to see a beautiful mature woman with long black hair sitting on the bed beside the window.

This woman had a sharp yet delicate face, and her clear blacks eyes shimmered like the sea during the summer. When her gaze landed on Yuan, his body trembled.

“M-Meixiu…?” Yuan muttered after seeing this mature woman who looked exactly like Meixiu but about 10 years older.

“What are you mumbling about, you silly? Come over here.” She said to him with a gentle smile on her face.

Yuan subconsciously started approaching the bed, his eyes staring directly at her face without moving.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so quiet? Did something happen?” She asked him.

“Y-Yeah… Our city was under attack…”

“What?! Is everything okay?!”

“For now. I have taken care of them, but there’s a good chance that they will return.”

“I see… Well, as long as we have you, there’s nothing to worry about. Isn’t that right, God of War, Tian Xian?”

“Y-Yes…” He nodded in a dazed manner.

‘Tian Xian… Surnamed Tian… This is most definitely one of my past lives… So I was a City Lord and also the God of War, huh?’

“Anyways, why have you returned home? Don’t tell me that you came home just to see me? Although I’m flattered and very happy, I want you to focus on defending the city and its people first.”

“I came back for my techniques… I might need them to defeat our enemies. Do you remember where I put them? I forgot…” He said in a stiff voice.

This kind of excuse would’ve never worked in the real world, but since this is merely an illusion created by the Stairway to Heaven, he decided to test his luck.

“It seems I have underestimated our situation. For you to forget about something so important, you must be feeling overwhelmed.” She sighed.

“Yes… A lot of our soldiers have died today, and even more will die at this rate. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to protect this city.”

“Come over here.” She suddenly opened her arms, gesturing for a hug.

Yuan subconsciously lowered his body, and when he did, the woman grabbed his head and pulled it towards her chest.

Yuan could feel her soft blossoms pressing against his head, but there was something else that caught his attention when he touched this woman that resembled Meixiu.

‘Her stomach… There’s something off about it…’ He thought to himself.

A few moments later, the woman said, “Let me show you where the techniques are stored.

After releasing him, the woman removed the blankets covering her body.

When Yuan saw this woman’s body and her bulged stomach, his eyes widened with shock.

‘T-This is… She’s pregnant?!’ Yuan cried inwardly after seeing her round stomach.

When the woman noticed Yuan staring at her stomach, she smiled and said, “It’s been a while since you saw it, huh? The doctor said that I will be able to give birth in three months.”

Yuan swallowed nervously after hearing her words, realizing that this is his first incarnation with a wife and a child. He always thought that he had no family of his own, not even in his previous lives, so this was quite the eye-opener.

The woman proceeded to lead Yuan to the basement.

The basement was completely empty when they entered it, but Yuan could somehow tell that there was an invisible formation protecting this place, and it was quite powerful— so powerful that even he cannot see it.

Once they descended the staircase, the woman retrieved some kind of treasure and activated it using her spiritual energy.

A portal opened up in the middle of the room a moment later.

‘What kind of hiding spot is this?! There’s no way that I would’ve been able to find this without her help!’ Yuan cried inwardly after seeing the secret entrance.

Upon entering the portal, they appeared inside a small square room that had no windows or gaps. The room was completely enclosed with no way in or out besides the portal in his basement.

Inside this enclosed room was a single bookshelf. However, on this bookshelf was a single scroll.

Yuan walked to the bookshelf and took the scroll before opening it and glancing over it.

After memorizing the contents, Yuan placed the technique back on the shelf and looked at the woman.

“Thank you. I think I have what I need to defend this city now,” he said with a smile.

“That’s good to hear. I would like for our child to grow up in this place, after all.” She chuckled.

They left the secret room and returned to the small 2 floor house shortly after.

Yuan followed the woman back to her room. Once she was back in the bed, she said to him, “I’ll see you later, dear.”

“Yes… See you later.”

Yuan stared at her face for another moment before leaving the place and returning to the pagoda.
