Chapter 287: The true meaning of the seven sins (Part 2)
”Then the last sin - l.u.s.t.” Murong Qiu Shui paused for a second before raising his right fist and placing it on his chest. He looked up at the sky with a face filled with melancholy, ”The mix of yin and yang is one of the most indispensable basic rules of the heaven and earth. Because a person has l.u.s.t, they will take the initiative to promote the blending of yin and yang. If a person does not have l.u.s.t…..Oh, human production would stop and human's pursuit towards beauty would disappear. A person like me with an appearance that even go would envy would just be normal…..Oh! That is truly terrifying. Ai…..Actually, my l.u.s.t has always been strong, after being alone for over nineteen years. How I wish that someone suited to me would fall from the skies, so I could occupy her body and soul without any hesitation…..Because I am a normal man.”
The first part was fine, but the final part…..If you are a normal man, then there really wouldn't be any strange men in this world. Ye Tian Xie and Zuo Po Jun both secretly thought this at the same time.
”Then, beloved third brother, one side is you have a heart of l.u.s.t and wish to be with a woman. The other side will be there is something wrong with your body and you do not have any l.u.s.t. Come….make your decision. Let us understand you more.” Murong Qiu Shui looked at the pitiful Zuo Po Jun as he spoke.
These two choices……Are there really no other choices?
Why…..Why couldn't he think of a third option.
Although he knew that Murong Qiu Shui was misinterpreting the true meaning of the seven sins, he could not refute it at all. There was even some logic behind it.
Zuo Po Jun was silent for a bit, not answering at all because he wanted to say he was neither……
”Bingo, beloved third brother, your silence allows me to know your answer. Men will always be shy in the end. Aiyo, l.u.s.t is actually a very normal thing. It is the most mature and purest expression a man can make, so what is there to be embarra.s.sed about? Then…..” Murong Qiu Shui counted with his fingers, ”Like this, beloved third brother is guilty of arrogance, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and l.u.s.t…..One, two, three, four, five, six, seven……Seven kind!!”
Murong Qiu Shui let out an alarmed call and his face revealed an exaggerated expression, ”Seven kind…..Third brother, you're actually guilty of seven sins and they're all things you alone are guilty for…..You are a demon, a demon!!”
”Old fourth, you're looking for a fight!!” Zuo Po Jun smacked his hands together. He had casually said before that a person guilty of all seven sins was a ”demon”, but now Murong Qiu Shui was using it to insult him.
”Oh, oh! This is the wrath of the seven sins……How terrifying, too terrifying.” Murong Qiu Shui quickly hid behind Ye Tian Xie.
Zuo Po Jun: (╯﹏╰)b
”Ha, ha, ha, ha……” Ye Tian Xie first revealed a faint smile before breaking out in laughter. With his laughter, Zuo Po Jun also rubbed his head in embarra.s.sment as he also laughed.
Murong Qiu Shui's seemingly silly words that actually contained ”great wisdom” had cleared up most of the worries he felt towards the ”baptism of seven sins”, making his heart light up again. In this moment, he realized that these seven sins were not some kind of untouchable taboo. In reality, these were seven evils that were a part of human nature and showed itself in a human's normal lives, but each person experienced a different degree of each sin.
”That's right, the so called seven sins exist in everyone's human nature. No matter how kind or how normal a person is, they will have experienced the seven sins in their lifetimes. It is like a person's happiness, anger, sadness, and joy, if a single one was missing, then a person's nature would not be complete.” Murong Qiu Shui said in an enlightened manner before asking, ”Second brother, why do you care about these seven sins?”
”……I'm prepared to undergo all seven of these sins within the next forty nine days.” Ye Tian Xie directly said it without any hesitation.
”Ah?” Zuo Po Jun still had not recovered from being fl.u.s.tered by Murong Qiu Shui's strange words and he was once again stunned by what Ye Tian Xie said.
”Oh…..Second brother, the wind was too loud and I might not have heard properly.” Murong Qiu Shui said in a serious voice while whispering in his heart: This can't be real, right? I was just having fun distorting the facts earlier……Ou! If second brother has decided to make this decision because of my words, the beautiful but terrifying eldest sister might kill me.
Ye Tian Xie nodded as his eyes sparkled while his face revealed a serious expression, ”The words I have to say next might seem impossible, but I hope you will be able to believe it and deal with it accordingly……The baptism of the seven sins brings a strong influence and the depth of the sin will be immense. I cannot imagine how deep it will be right now, so you have to make proper preparations. My mind and emotions will be at an extreme and I don't want to hurt you guys.”
Zuo Po Jun and Murong Qiu Shui had the same expression as they listened to what Ye Tian Xie said. Their ears were listening, but it took their minds a while before it could react.
Leaving the Destiny world, it was already dusk. Sitting up from the bed, his body was still aching. He softly pulled Xiao Xi who was curled up around his arm and gently covered her with the blanket. Then with soft footsteps, he opened the door to walk out.
He had spent two days unconscious and his body was still weak……Thinking of how Xiao Xi was weak and had a body with no strength, sleeping over twenty hours a day, Ye Tian Xie suddenly thought that her condition was just like his, severely injuring one's vitality……Moreover, it was even more serious than him. From what Guo Guo said, this condition would last at least one month and could last up to a year.
What had happened to Xiao Xi? He thought about this question from all kinds of unbelievable angles.
