615 Unfailing as the Sun that Rises from the East, I am Undefeatable! (2/2)
Following that, it was the three aunts' turn to bring over their meeting gifts…
In a short time, the great beauty Mei was hugging several boxes, her face red and shy. However, a hint of joy could be seen on her face…
”This… I should call him elder cousin right, grandma?” A lively little boy ran out and beamed at his grandma. The boy was only about 10 years old, and was white and tender, appearing extremely cute. His eyes were jet black, and they glistened as he stared at Jun Mo Xie.
”Little brat, go and greet your elder cousin.” The old madam smiled and pinched his chubby face as she turned to look at Jun Mo Xie. ”This is the youngest of your Second Uncle's family, Xiao Huài Huài…”
”Elder cousin!” The little boy came forward and puffed out his chest, ”My name is Dongfang Xiao Huái, not Dongfang Xiao Huài. Actually, I don't really like this name, but on the day that I was born, my mother dreamt of a pagoda tree, so I was named after it… The name Xiao Huái was already not very nice, but everyone just likes to call me Xiao Huài now… I'm actually not naughty at all, for real…”
”Dongfang Xiao Huài… Hello, little cousin Xiao Huài.” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and laughed. From the look on this little fellow's face, it was obvious that he was up to some mischief.
As expected…
”Cousin, look at how many presents you got just on today… I'm even smaller than you… And it's the first time we're meeting, shouldn't you give me a present too?” Little Rascal Dongfang held his hands out excitedly.
”That's simple; didn't you say that you're not satisfied with your name just now? This elder cousin shall gift you with a better name, one that's guaranteed to be cool! In the future, whoever hears it just once will definitely be shocked, and unable to forget the name forever. It's the kind of name that speaks of the awesomeness of an unrivalled expert!” Jun Mo Xie chuckled with a glint in his eyes.
”Ah? What name is it? I happen to want to change my name… But father and mother is against it, Elder Cousin, if you can help me pick a dashing name, that'll be the best!” The little fellow had completely forgotten about the matter of his present, and grew excited.
”En, Dongfang Xiao Huai… is indeed not very domineering. The pagoda tree is also the ghost among trees, and has a slightly inauspicious meaning; how about this…” Jun Mo Xie smiled suavely and continued, ”What do you think of changing your name to Bu Bai? Dongfang Bu Bai! Dongfang Family, forever undefeatable! What do you think? Is it domineering enough?”
”Dongfang Bu Bai! Fantastic! That name is truly too awesome!” The little fellow's face lit up like a christmas tree. Taking a step back, he jumped up and did two somersaults proclaiming loudly: ”From now onwards, I shall be named Dongfang Bu Bai!”
”Not bad! However, you need to work hard to not let down this name, undefeatable! On top of that, I've actually thought up a trademark phrase for you to go with the name as well…” Jun Mo Xie continued in a mysterious tone.
”What phrase? Dongfang Xiao Huai's eyes were red with fervor.
”In the future, when you roam the pugilistic world, and others ask you for your name, you can say this…” Jun Mo Xie puffed out his chest, placed one leg before the other and raised his head proudly as he proclaimed in a loud and lofty voice, ”Unfailing… as the Sun that rises from the East; I… am undefeatable!”
”Unfailing as the Sun that rises from the East, I am undefeatable!” Dongfang Xiao Huai… No, Dongfang Bu Bai cried out as his mouth formed into a huge 'O' shape. In that moment, his eyes were filled with adoration as he looked at Jun Mo Xie. ”Unfailing as the Sun that rises from the East, I am undefeatable! This is simply too domineering, too amazing… Wahahahaha… wow! Elder cousin, you're simply too talented! I hereby declare, that from now on, you are this Dongfang Xiao- no! You are this Dongfang Bu Bai's idol!”
After settling the matter of Dongfang Bu Bai, Jun Mo Xie smiled proudly with a sense of achievement. As he observed the faces around him, everyone seemed to have approved. They were obviously very satisfied with the name ”Dongfang Bu Bai” that Jun Mo Xie had chosen…
The mighty Dongfang Family should at least have this level of domineering demeanor!
Unfailing as the Sun that rises from the East, I am undefeatable!
For their grandson to receive such a tyrannical name, this was a very large gift for the Dongfang Family!
”Very good!” Dongfang Wen Qing's eyes lit up as he praised, ”This phrase is truly extremely domineering, however, this brat Xiao Huai is still not fit enough to bear it! This name shall belong to our entire Dongfang Family! Later on, I'll send someone to engrave these words onto a large piece of rock and erect it before the gates of our Dongfang Family where it shall stand forever!”Xiao Huái is a tree, and Xiao Huài means little bad one, or just brat. The romanization for both words look the same, but the pronunciation is slightly different.The Chinese character for the tree (槐) is composed of 木 (”wood”) and 鬼 (representing a spirit in physical form, ”ghost”). This tree is generally planted around village edges and in front of temple entrances.Bu Bai = UndefeatedDongfang means the East.
