1178 Brothers are Always Around! (1/2)
”Die ah! Go and die! Die ah, why aren't you dying, ah!” Mei Xue Yan looked at him coldly. Despite her body trembling and tears streaming endlessly down, she spoke resolutely. ”Why are you not dying yet? Could it be that you don't have the balls to? You want me to send you on your way? No problem, just tell me! I don't care for a bullsh*t brother like you!”
Right now, Jun Mo Xie was a little anxious. Xue Yan's words were getting too much. Big Bear had such a candid temper, he would die for the sake of his brother if he was told to, if he really did…
”I… I don't want to die anymore!” Big Bear suddenly calmed down. He got up slowly, his eyes completely calm.
”You're not going to die anymore?” Mei Xue Yan looked at him and said emotionlessly. ”So now you decide not to die? Are you planning to do something in the battle? En? Is it to die for the sake of saving Crane King? Then Crane King will die for the sake of saving Tiger King, then Tiger King will die for… then the last one will die for the sake of saving me, then I'll commit suicide! Then we will die! And be reunited again in the Yellow Springs! How great is that ah! Were you thinking of this?”
Big Bear's body jolted, he looked pleadingly at Mei Xue Yan and cried, ”Big Sis, you… I beg you, don't say that… I… I feel horrible! I feel horrible, ah! Please stop saying anymore…”
Indeed, Mei Xue Yan had completely figured out what Bear King was planning. Of course he didn't wish for everyone to die, but he already was wishing for death!
From the moment Eagle King died for the sake of saving Bear King, Big Bear already had no lingering attachments for the world! At that moment, he already didn't want to live anymore! But he couldn't die at that point in time!
Furthermore, Bear King was still worried for his own brothers! So he decided to work even harder in the next battle, staking all of himself to protect his brothers so they would be able to live on! No matter what the price! Just like what Eagle King had done for him…
Then, if he could die for the sake of saving his brother, then he would also be able to die in peace!
Not letting the sworn brotherhood of Tian Fa down in vain!
But when Mei Xue Yan put it in this way, Big Bear suddenly felt the chills. Fear and panic growing in him. Indeed, he was already so heartbroken from Eagle King's death from saving himself! Then, if he had died for the other brothers, wouldn't they be feeling the same as himself right now? Would rather die than continue living?
Everyone would understand the same thing when they put themselves in somebody else's shoes!
Then, could it really be like what Big sis said? Everyone dies? And we all reunite in the Yellow Springs?!
No, I do not wish for that, it absolutely mustn't be like that!
But…
If my own brother is in danger, am I supposed to just watch on?
No! I can't even do that! How can I do that!
Bear King was feeling so conflicted that he did not even know what to say.
”There has never been any exchange between brothers.” Jun Mo Xie said. ”Eagle King sacrificed himself for you. His intentions were definitely not for you to return the favour. Don't tell me that in your heart, doing things for your brothers isn't something you should do?
”You should! Get it? That's what makes you brothers! Your brother, doing things for you is what he should do! Relatively, doing things for your brother, no matter what it is, is something that should be expected.” Jun Mo Xie said. ”Pain and hurt are inevitable. But for the sake of ensuring your safety, even if it is death, Eagle King did it willingly! What you should really do is absolutely not die for your brother! But live more for his sake! Do more things on their behalf!
”If one day, you die for the sake of saving your brother, although we will be filled with grief, we will also be happy for you! Because you left in a heroic manner! With a peace of mind! With no qualms! Just like little eagle right now!”
Jun Mo Xie spoke solemnly. ”We must let our brothers feel proud because we are living on happily; even if they've passed, we must make our brothers smile from the Yellow Springs!”
”Yes, I should. I am willing to do anything for my brother! I'm not afraid of death! But I'm afraid that my brother will be disappointed!” Big Bear turned his head and glanced at Eagle King. ”But… Ninth… is gone forever.”
”Ninth is not gone. Brothers will forever remain in our hearts!” Jun Mo Xie took in a deep breath. ”Until the day you die of old age, your brother, be it Eagle King, your Big Sis, me, or any of the other brothers who are not present here, we will always accompany you! Even if they've already passed, they still exist in your heart. Always accompanying you! As long as you are still alive, your heart remains, and your brothers are around!”
”I understand now.” Bear King couldn't help but wipe his tears as he sobbed. ”I'm still alive, my heart remains, my brothers are around! Little eagle is around!”
”That's right, so you must continue to live on properly, for Eagle King! Because his greatest wish before he died was for you to live! He only wants you to continue living properly! You must not disappoint him! And the rest of the Eagle Clan also needs your support! You must not die! If you die so wimpishly, then you'll really have let little eagle down!”
Big Bear stayed silent, but his dull eyes finally regained a little bit of life.
”And one more thing, the blood of our brothers mustn't be spilled in vain! Whoever makes us bleed, we will make them doomed!” Jun Mo Xie said harshly. ”Big Bear, you must prepare, we must get it all back with both principal and interest, multiple-folds!
”Yes! How can the blood of my brothers be spilled in vain! It will not be, no matter what! Make those grotesque scum extinct!” A vengeful gleam filled Big Bear's eyes.
Then, he suddenly turned around, running about, searching all over, collecting all of the bits of Eagle King's flesh that was scattered all about carefully…
And Mei Xue Yan was doing the same thing…
All the other bear warriors were also searching about.
They wanted to restore the body of their brother who had already left! So that their brother could finish his last journey honorably.
Finally, they finished collecting all of it. Mei Xue Yan tugged a lock of hair from her head. Then, she got Jun Mo Xie to use the Power of Gold to create a needle. She carefully threaded it, and began to sew her brother back together, stitching every single piece of flesh and feathers.
She was just that concentrated, every single stitch was so gentle and with great familiarity. Just like how she had used a needle and thread to help sew Eagle King's clothes from that time when Eagle King first took human form and accidentally torn the clothes he wore for the first time.
She could still remember little eagle wrinkling his face, feeling upset about the clothes. She could still remember, she even chuckled and pinched his hooked nose, teasing him…
