Chapter 286 (2/2)
”Beloved second brother, do you have a concern that you wish to share with us?” Murong Qiu Shui saw that Ye Tian Xie was somewhat absent-minded, so he asked him in a casual voice.
Ye Tian Xie did not immediately replied and considered it a bit before asking, ”Po Jun, Qiu Shui, have you heard of the 'seven sins' before?”
”Seven sins?” Zuo Po Jun was visibly stunned by this question.
”Arrogance, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and l.u.s.t……The seven original sins. All the sins of humans are derived from one of these origin sins.” Following behind Zuo Po Jun, Murong Qiu Shui accurately described the seven origin sins.
”Second brother, why are you asking about these?” Zuo Po Jun asked.
”I was thinking…..If there was a person that had to go through each of the seven sins once, that person……”
”Would turn into a demon!” Zuo Po Jun added.
”Demon?” Ye Tian Xie stopped and looked at Zuo Po Jun.
”Eh……” Seeing Ye Tian Xie's reaction, Zuo Po Jun patted his head in a somewhat awkward manner, ”Second brother, I was just casually saying this. If the seven sins are the origin of sins as old fourth described them, then if a person were to undergo all of them, then that person would become a demon with no human nature.”
”Ai…..It really seems like human intelligence and size are inversely proportional.” Murong Qiu Shui looked over Zuo Po Jun and said in a voice filled with disdain.
”d.a.m.n transvest.i.te! What do you mean!” Zuo Po Jun was filled with anger.
”The seven sins……They aren't really human sins, but rather the seven forbidden nature of humans. They are hidden deep within human nature and human nature is intertwined with the seven sins, so how could you describe it as not having human nature.” Murong Qiu Shui shook his head.
”Old fourth, I don't understand what this means. Does that mean that everyone has the seven sins deep down?”
”Is that not the case?”
”Alright.” Murong Qiu Shui helplessly looked at him and then slowly said, ”Arrogance, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and l.u.s.t…..Beloved third brother, have you never been arrogant before? As far as I know, you should clearly know how arrogant you act in front of those capital city young masters……If I were to say that you were guilty of the sin of arrogance, would you deny that?”
”Eh…..” Zuo Po Jun could not refute this. Towards people that could make him submit, he would lower his head. However, to those that worked hard to flatter him or were inferior to him, he would always be filled with arrogance……The Zuo Family young master's wild temper was already a well known fact, but……He was the Zuo Family's young master, so he had the qualification to act this way.
”Then, beloved third brother, tell me, since you were born, have you never been jealous of another person? This is a very simple question, so answer me this……You musn't tell me that you haven't before. If you truly insist that you haven't before…..Hee, hee, then from this day forth, third brother will become the most sacred angel in my heart!”
Zuo Po Jun's face was covered in dark lines as he said in a depressed voice, ”Jealousy……of course I have.”
”Very good. Then beloved third brother, you are guilty a second sin of the seven sins - envy.”
Zuo Po Jun: ”……”
”The third sin of the seven sins - wrath. Alright, I don't need to ask about this one at all. In the beautiful capital city, just casually throwing out a stone will alone me to find a person that has suffered from your wrath before……I can still clearly remember your terrifying red eyes as you used your copper bell sized fists to abuse others…..Oh! It really is too sinful. This is the third sin you're guilty of - wrath.”
”……” Zuo Po Jun could say nothing against it. Although he was always obedient in front of Ye Tian Xie, in the capital city, his rage was well known, with many people being beaten by him. So many rich family's children always trembled when seeing him, acting extremely careful around him.
”Sloth……Beloved third brother, if I didn't remember it wrong, this morning…..Ah, no, today at 10:47:38, you finally got out of bed……Oh! If this is not considered sloth, then there would be no one that can be described as slothful in this world……Then looking at your body filled with meat that even your mother does not dare hit…..Who dares say that you are not filled with sloth.”
”……” Zuo Po Jun angrily gritted his teeth. He suppressed the impulse to slam Murong Qiu Shui into the ground with a single fist.
”Greed…..Ai……” Murong Qiu Shui suddenly gave a long sigh and revealed a face filled with deep sadness, ”I still remember that year…..When I was four years old, there was that very fat five year old fatty. On that day, it was the first snow of the year 2185, which came later compared to the previous year…..”
”Stop, stop, stop! You're not allowed to mention that…..I'll admit I'm greedy, alright!” Murong Qiu Shui had just begun and Zuo Po Jun jumped to cover his mouth like his b.u.t.t had been poked with a needle. Then he looked over at Ye Tian Xie and revealed an innocent, silly smile.
Ye Tian Xie: ”…….”
”Bingo! Since my beloved third brother admits it, I won't talk about how you stole thirty seven chocolates from me and how you stole a dress from eldest sister……Then you walked through the street with the dress on and showed off the chocolate.” Murong Qiu Shui gave a nod filled with understanding.
Zuo Po Jun's face turned red, as red as a certain animal's b.u.t.tocks.
”Gluttony……Third brother, can you tell me how your great stomach came to be? Oh…..Second brother, you must not know. He eats four times as much as me! Even here, the mantous in his bag are thirty times what I have…..Moreover, last time he left your house, not only did third brother eat all the fruits in the plate, he even secretly stole ten more…..” Murong Qiu Shui said with an exaggerated expression on his face.
Ye Tian Xie: ”……”
”Ke…..Ke, about that second brother. Those crystal fruit were very delicious, so I….I…..” Zuo Po Jun awkwardly laughed like a fool, wis.h.i.+ng that he could rip out Murong Qiu Shui's mouth.
