Brother-in-law group forces kinship recognition
The brothers showed their sincerity by kneeling down and banging their foreheads against the ice.
I was also moved by them, listening to my brothers shout and kowtowing to the cold ground.
"Today, we, the eight siblings, have sworn brotherhood on the frozen plains. We hope that we, these siblings of different surnames but sharing the same roots, lineage, and blood, can..."
Something doesn't sound right, but the atmosphere is just right.
I raised my hand and shouted, "Same year, same month, same day, assimilated into ashes!"
I felt that Xie Jinhui was laughing at this moment, but it was the kind of laugh where he was pressing his stomach and covering his mouth, as if he was afraid I would sense that he was laughing at me and make me laugh until I cried.
My brothers all looked at me, their eyes filled with pity, and gently shook their heads.
With a wave of his hand, the eldest brother beckoned us, his siblings who were not related by blood, to sit back down at the octagonal table.
Third Brother Fuxiu leaned on the table, sighed, and said, "A few days ago, when I was still asleep, I was not afraid at all when Suo Ling told me about the fate of the seven of us brothers in the future."
Why do I feel so empty inside after seeing my sister today? I don't want to see you either...
Why……"
I moved my lips, unsure of what to say, even though we were sitting at the same table.
I find it hard to understand their state of mind.
Fifth Brother clasped his hands together and took over the conversation.
"Yes, when we fought against those seven sinister boys, we were determined to annihilate each other."
Unexpectedly, they used us as cover, self-destructed behind our backs, and escaped to the lower realm.
It made us wake up from a shattered dream.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. Suo Ling accepted us and even got to see her sister before she died.
Honestly, I'm really looking forward to that day.
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the void, and laughed, "I have felt the ultimate in this world, and don't you brothers feel the same way?"
As for her younger sister, the fact that she was willing to come here shows that she was also very happy to do so.
I looked at my brothers with suspicion. They mentioned Su Ling, and from their few words, I could infer that they already knew Xie Jinhui's intentions.
However, in their eyes, Xie Jinhui was Su Ling.
Moreover, they seemed to completely submit and follow any decision Suomi made, even willing to die for her.
Since that's the case, I'll frankly express my questions.
“Brothers, you and the Seven Desires who escaped to the lower realm were originally one, so why did the Seven Desires split up?”
Why do they plot to destroy the world, while you submit to the forces of nature and await your sacrifice?
Sixth Brother's longing gaze fell on me.
“Those seven boys are one with us, always have been.”
When Su Mio first abandoned us, we had no thoughts, let alone fourteen consciousnesses.
We are merely a formless entity devoid of desires and wants. Because we were originally part of Suomi, we gradually formed a flowing chaos.
Su Ling placed us beneath the icy cliffs beyond the boundless sky, where the waters were actually his birthplace.
We floated and sank in that water, and the sighs of the current often blew over us.
After an unknown amount of time, we regained our senses and realized that we were no longer Suomi.
At first everything was fine because we were still one, but because we knew, we began to separate.
When Suo Ling sighed, half of us thought he was sad, and the other half thought he was lost.
Gradually, we, who were once one, followed the principle of yin and yang in the world and became two opposing entities.
We brothers are joyful because we have gained consciousness.
We feel satisfied to be able to see the magnificent scenery beyond the boundless sky and to feel ice and cold.
The other half, however, suffers because they have become conscious.
They felt a lingering attachment deep in their hearts that they couldn't quite explain.
I think it's the sense of completeness I felt when I was with Suo Mio.
We feel nostalgic, but we are also delighted to have gained a perspective for self-exploration.
They always wanted to go back, but they couldn't. After Suo discovered our abnormality, she brought us to the lower realm.
We saw a new world, we saw flames and hot winds, we saw hardship and torment, and we felt that every encounter was a gain.
But they were different; they gradually came to hate Suo Ling, and they also came to hate us.
Suo Ling is a deity; he is not a god who descended from the earth.
We who exist within him are the "toys" he gave to himself, encompassing everything in the world.
When He manifests His physical form from His light, we are His eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, which enable Him to understand all beings.
By the way, he also carries the burden of life and death; Sheng Yu is Sang Sheng, our youngest brother.
The desire for death is called "the desire to slaughter," and it is the smallest of the seven desires.
He was inherently mortal, yet he did not wish to die himself, but rather enjoyed witnessing the tragic deaths of others and other things.
We find it very strange that we, who fell from Suo Ling's body, could be tainted by worldly desires.
They transformed into the evil form that harms living beings and replaces Suomi.
Later, after being suppressed within us for tens of thousands of years, we finally came to our senses.
When Suo Ling left us, he must have suffered some injustice; it wasn't of his own free will.
Therefore, we are half still him, and half have become the devil.
Now, he is even willing to sacrifice himself to stop this bloodshed.
"Of course we are willing to sacrifice ourselves, of course we are willing to exchange our own destruction for peace and tranquility in the world."
Sixth Brother spoke very slowly, not like words, but like a flowing river of time.
I followed him, and in a daze, it felt as if I had traversed hundreds of thousands of years.
I saw the boundless cold beyond the heavens and felt the agonizing torment of a living hell.
I know that everything he said is true. Even the eight-immortal table is the shape of the scar in Su Ling's consciousness after she abandoned us.
But as someone deeply attached to emotions, why can't I remember anything? Love or hate, even peace...
There was nothing there.
What I want to be sure of right now is whether they know the true nature of the place that Suomi left behind.
“Brothers, do you know that Su Ling’s decision to abandon his position back then might not have been because he was not qualified, but because he needed to be demoted in order to gain the approval of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone?”
The seven older brothers nodded in unison, and the eldest brother said, "We know."
"Then, do you know about the other seven desires as well?" I blurted out impatiently.
Sitting next to me, Seventh Brother tilted his head, and the sun-like pattern in his hair dimmed for a moment.
"They are unwilling to know."
They prefer to believe what they believe to be the truth.
That is, in order to seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, Su Ling abandoned them and degraded them into their current state.
They hated him, so after much scheming, they replaced him.
Simply put, Emperor Sumi's seven desires have split.
Seven brothers wanted to die for their cause, and seven villains wanted to destroy the world.
As for me, I was the "root of affection" he initially abandoned. I knew nothing, said nothing, and grew into a heartless stone.
Just then, a sigh came from above us, circled around to the ice beneath our feet, and spread out.
Fourth Brother Gan Chang threw a wine gourd at that moment and cursed, "Su Mio, stop sighing and complaining to me, and shut up."
Uh, I'm a little embarrassed. Xie Jinhui sighed and was then scolded.
The older brothers don't seem to have very good tempers either; right now, they're all looking up and glaring in all directions.
We were inside Xie Jinhui's body. His seven older brothers thought he was Su Miao, unaware that he was actually just a furnace formed from Su Miao's divine consciousness.
Xie Jinhui cleared his throat. "Qiyu, my Yuanhe has been with you for so long. Now, can she come back to be with me?"
Oh, Xie Jinhui wants to call me back to verify the situation.
Just as I was about to get up, my brothers glared at me angrily for my lack of self-control and said in unison, "No!"
I was so scared that I quickly sat up straight.
Suddenly, she heard her second brother nod silently and say, "Little sister, so your name is Yuanhe."
I said, it turns out that we siblings were all very close, but they didn't even sense my name!
This shows that the information shield I set up for myself is really effective.
I asked, half-sarcastically and half-doubtfully, "Brothers, when those Seven Desires were impersonating the Holy Emperor, their attitude towards me was quite ambiguous."
Don't you know?
The eldest brother led all the other brothers in nodding.
"We have been sealed away by them."
"Yes, we only had a chance to break through after Su Ling injured him with the Cold Qi Nuo Flame."
"Huh? I remember, when we were fighting those kids, there was a little girl who was seeing us with her spiritual power."
"Yes, I felt it too, but I couldn't see it!"
"Hmm, it's very blurry."
"So, my sister cared about us back then. It's a pity we only recognized each other today..."
"Yes, little sister, don't blame your brothers for not recognizing you that day."
...
It's so much more effective to chat with a group of people! I remember Xie Jinhui was the one who told me to go back—no, to go out.
Then I was surprised that my brothers didn't know my name.
Now, where has the conversation gone...?
I heard Xie Jinhui clear his throat again and say, trying to remain polite, "Give me back my wife."
"Pah!"
Huh? Who spat? Several of the older brothers made the spitting gesture.
Fourth Brother banged his wine gourd on the table and said angrily, "Su Ling, you brat, don't talk nonsense. What are you calling 'Madam'? Do you think our Qi Yu's sister is so easy to bully?"
"If you want to call her 'Madam,' then we'll talk about marriage; if you want to marry Yuan'e, we need to figure out the generational hierarchy first."
My goodness, my brother looks so awesome! It feels great!
Xie Jinhui was unusually speechless, likely falling into a deep silence.
"Su Mio, stop pretending to be mute, hurry up."
Why don't you come in and we'll talk face to face!
Fourth Brother was aggressive; he instigated Xie Jinhui to come in.
Alas, it's a pity he can't get in.
Xie Jinhui remained silent, so Fourth Brother slammed his fist on the table and roared, "You little brat, Su Ling, I'm going out to beat you up!"
Fifth Brother gently patted Fourth Brother's shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, Fourth Brother, we can't go out. If we go out, Suo Ling will leak."
If those seven desires sense us and absorb us, wouldn't we be aiding and abetting evil, and then have no good days left?
“Yes, we can’t miss Suo Ling,” the second brother said.
Seventh Brother suddenly spoke up rashly.
"Fourth Brother, if Su Ling could leak, our sister would probably be a young wife by now, not a little girl."
I froze instantly, my whole body burning with shame and anger, turning into a rainbow of every color imaginable.
Fourth Brother glanced at me, who was drooping my head in endless sorrow and forcing a bitter smile, and chuckled.
"Oh, what a waste of my sister, she'll be a widow her whole life."
Oh my god, Fei Kong Shan, come quick! Help me petrify!
"Yes, yes, our sister likes him, and he does everything she wants."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll obey you in everything, from now on I'll obey you in everything!"
From now on...
I thought to myself: How long is the future? I smiled helplessly, but at least there is a future.
"Su Ling, you heard everything we said." Fourth Brother roared into the void.
Xie Jinhui responded with a smile.
“I heard it, but I didn’t know you would treat me this way.”
It's been a long time since we last met. It's great to meet you all today.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't give me that. You're our Eighth Sister's little sweetheart. Hurry up and call me brother-in-law."
"Greetings, my seven brothers-in-law." I felt a chill run down my spine as I listened to Xie Jinhui's obsequious and repetitive voice.
"Could you ask my seven brothers-in-law to arrange for Yuan'e to marry me, to serve me tea and water and warm my bed..."
