The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 116 Reunion

The Mother of Faces suddenly appeared before everyone, bringing an indescribable shock. But before they could even be surprised, their hearts tightened at Her clearly displeased tone.

The Mother of Faces was indeed dissatisfied, because this was the second time that Kahn had approached her.

"I am a peaceful, kind, and friendly deity. Therefore, 'every season I pass through the Valley of No Worries and grant a wish to those who are fortunate enough to see me.' This is my gift to humankind."

"Although I haven't stipulated that I can't grant multiple wishes to the same person, no one likes such greedy behavior, do you understand, Spirit Master?"

As the questioning words were spoken, a huge wolf spirit appeared beside the Mother of Faces, staring intently at the group, looking ready to attack at any moment.

Clearly, the fact that Kahn had twice taken the initiative to come to her door had disgusted the Mother of Faces, who now regarded him as a greedy bastard.

However, Kahn could not deny the accusations of the Mother of the Face, and even felt a little guilty, because he had indeed taken advantage of some loopholes.

However, having come this far, he couldn't possibly let the Mother of Face leave so easily, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Respected Mother of the Face, I have absolutely no disrespectful intentions, and it was not my wish to disturb you like this. However, my companions and I do need your help right now, and we had no choice but to use some means. Please forgive us."

Kahn's words were sincere and earnest. The Mother of Face stared at Kahn silently for a long while before slowly saying:

"I hope you're telling the truth."

"So, what do you want from me this time?"

Seeing that his mother's attitude had changed and she was no longer questioning him, Kahn finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. The others around him also felt a sense of relief.

After hearing His question, Kahn looked at Noriko and nodded to her.

Noriko was still somewhat flustered. The legendary god had actually appeared before her eyes and even lost his temper, which was quite a shock to her.

She gripped Aiken's hand tightly, looking at him nervously. Aiken squeezed her hand back, reassuring her:

"It's alright, go ahead."

Encouraged by Aiken, Noreiko finally relaxed a bit, mustered her courage, and stepped forward to ask the Mother of Face:

"Revered Mother of the Face, I would like to request that you restore my former memories and appearance."

"Restore your memories and appearance, you."

The Mother of Face looked at Norrico and quickly recognized the woman before her:

"I remember you. You are one of the few humans who have left a deep impression on me. You originally had a beautiful face, but you gave me an ordinary-looking one instead."

As she spoke, the Mother of Face stretched out her vine-like arms, and a face appeared above her palm. Azura and Zul'ko stared intently at that face, their eyes filled with indescribable, complex emotions—

That was none other than their mother, Er Shu's face!

Although they had long since confirmed that Noriko was their mother, Ershu, when this undeniable evidence was truly presented to them, they still couldn't help but be shocked, their thoughts churning like waves.

The Mother of Face looked at the beautiful face that belonged to Er Shu in her hand, and spoke softly with a hint of regret, but no one knew what she was regretting.

"Do you regret it? Fine, if that's what you wanted."

The next moment, the face in the Mother of Faces' hand flew towards Noreiko, and as it covered Noreiko's face, it emitted a faint light. Noreiko, or rather Ershu, was regaining her memories and appearance.

Having done all this, the Mother of Face no longer paid attention to Noriko, but turned to look at Kahn and said:

"Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it's time for me to leave. But I hope that the person who appears before me next time won't be you, Spirit Master."

"otherwise."

Before she finished speaking, the Face Mother's body gradually disintegrated, turning back into flowing water and merging into the lake. The wolf spirit also took one last look at Kahn before turning around and following the Face Mother away.

"I feel disliked."

Kahn gave a wry smile. Although the Mother of the Face hadn't finished speaking, he could still hear the strong warning and threat it contained.

The Mother of Faces' disgust for him was quite obvious, so it seemed that he would probably never be able to appear in front of the Mother of Faces again, let alone next time.

He glanced around at the carefree onlookers, watching the drama unfold, and then at the lake that had returned to calm after the Mother of Faces left. He could only sigh that his own people were still the most considerate.

However, no one was paying attention to the conflict between Kahn and the Mother of Faces at the moment, because there was something more important at the moment—after the Mother of Faces returned Ershu's memories and appearance to Noriko, everyone's attention was focused on Noriko.

When the light faded from Noreko's face, her originally unremarkable features had returned to Ershu's beautiful face, both familiar and strange.

Then, Noreiko slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, her gaze slowly sweeping over everyone, finally settling on Zul'ko and Azura—

"Zuko, Azura, my dear children, you have grown up."

"Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Zu Kou could no longer contain his excitement and rushed forward, throwing himself into Er Shu's arms just like when he was a child. Er Shu gently stroked Zu Kou's hair as she had always done, as if nothing had ever changed.

Feeling the familiar touch from her palm, Er Shu's face was full of nostalgia, and she silently took in the changes in Zu Kou.

Compared to when she left, Zu Kou had undoubtedly grown a lot. He was taller, and his face had gradually lost its childishness, becoming more handsome, with a noticeable scar over his left eye.

Ershu carefully brushed over the hideous scar, afraid of hurting Zukou. The news that Zukou, the crown prince, had dueled with the emperor and been exiled had already spread throughout the country. She had discussed this matter with Aiken before, but now all she felt was heartache and self-blame.

It is said that Zu Kou has grown up, but in reality he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. This is clearly an age when he should be carefree, but he has already suffered too much hardship that ordinary people cannot imagine, and is doing things that he should not have to bear at this age.

But this mother chose to abandon her children and run away from everything, and the thought of this made her feel increasingly ashamed.

Er Shu's voice was slightly choked with emotion as she spoke with deep remorse:

"I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

"No, this was Aozai's mistake. And it's okay, it's all in the past."

Zu Kou gently shook his head, took Er Shu's hand, and comforted her in return.

Feeling the warmth from Ershu's hand, Zukou felt that all the pain he had suffered in the past seemed insignificant at this moment, because his mother had really returned.

At this moment, both Ershu and Zuko had so much to say to each other, but they didn't know where to begin. More importantly, besides Zuko, there was also her other child, Azura, here.

"."

Upon hearing Ershu's call, Azura was also moved, but watching Zuko rush towards Ershu, she only paused for a moment before continuing to stand in place, hiding her gaze in the shadows, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

Only when she heard footsteps did Azura slowly raise her head and see Ershu walking towards her.

Despite his exceptional intelligence and eloquence, Azu seemed somewhat at a loss when facing Ershu.

Joy, sadness, questioning, rebuke. The reunion scene she had rehearsed countless times in her mind vanished completely. Before she could even react, her body acted on its own, uncontrollably revealing its signature sarcastic smile:

"You're disappointed to see this monster here too, aren't you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Azura regretted it.

No, why did this happen? She had prepared countless questions, but this was definitely not the way to ask them—

"I'm so glad to see you here, my dear daughter."

A hug interrupted Azura's thoughts.

She felt as if she had entered a reassuring world, and her face felt warm and moist.

Ershu pulled Azura into her arms, and tears finally welled up in her eyes, wetting Azura's cheeks that were pressed against hers. Although she was crying, Ershu had a smile on her face.

"I love you, Azura. You and Zuko are my most beloved children, my darlings."

"You are definitely not a monster."

""

Azura stared blankly ahead, her mind a complete blank, unable to speak.

But at this moment, she seemed to hear a voice from within her—

pat.

It seems something has been solved.

I've finally gotten to this point. I'm really bad at writing romance scenes (laughs). Things will be much easier from here on out.
