Untamed Deaths (short story (kind of???))

13: Mothers brings home the milk, right????

'Hey A-Yuan, what if it was Cheng?'

'He would never upset his boyfriend like this.'

Ying rolled his eyes at their son. 'What ever .... But how many times to I have to tell you A-Yuan, call me father Ying.'

'No. You are Mother Ying. You told me long ago, fathers bring home the money and mothers bring home the milk. You always brought me sweets when we met in this life ... I'm sorry to have been listening in but ... does that mean you really have remembered Cloud Recesses, GusuLan Sect and ... everything?'

'A-Yuan?' Ying looked at the ten year old that Zhan had adopted six years ago when Zhan was just eighteen. Since meeting this young man in this life, Ying had felt a strong connection and instantly took him as his own. At the thought Zhan and he had their son back, he broke down in tears. 'SiZhui ....' He tried to say more only to have SiZhui run over and throw himself into his arms.

'You finally remember me.' SiZhui sobbed into Ying's chest even as Ying wrapped his arms around him and refused to let go.

'How long have you remembered your last life?'

'Father Zhan, do you remember when you first adopted me, I had that dangerous fever?'

'How can I forget, I thought I was about to loose you at any moment. One kid, two lives and both times you could have died from a fever when I take you as my son.'

'When I woke up, I remembered my life back then but knew not to say anything yet. Though the first time I came face to face with Master Lan in this life ... I wanted to run him through.' SiZhui looked to XiChen with a soft smile. 'I ... Uncle XiChen ...'

'It's alright kiddo, he can't hurt anyone now.' He looked to Zhan and Ying. 'Are you both going to be alright for the party tonight? I'm sorry to say it's rather important that Zhan is there for the company's sake and I know he will not go without you at the moment Ying.'

'Kind of like the pair of you?'

'Yes.' Cheng reached out and pulled XiChen into his arms even as he wiped the last few tears from his eyes.

'XiChen, Cheng ... did either one of you realise that our birthmarks are the marks his sword caused?'

'What .... Oh .... I never even thought about yours Ying, but after I got my memories back after the car accident, every time I saw my brother without his shirt, I remembered that time.'

'I need to tell you all something ... and I hope you trust me with it like you did at the end of our lives.'

'What is it Ying?'

'It's the Demonic Cultivation ... I have it. I have no idea how I never noticed it before but ... it's there ... and so is the golden core.'

'Mine too.' Zhan said with a smile. 'I was not sure what that thing was but when you said golden core, I knew that is what it is.'

'We have ours also. But without our spirit swords ....' Zhan said but was cut off by SiZhui before he could finish.

'No need to worry about that ... I know where they are and as they have a spirit within them, they will just need to be called and they will come.'

'Where could they possibly be?' Ying asked in shock.

'In the cave you were killed in. I ... when you were buried, we found that his sword would not part from the pair of you, so you were buried with your arms wrapped around each other, the sword still in place. However, when we tried to place your swords in with you, they just ... flew out on their own and went back to the cave ... so we left them there and when XiChen and Cheng died, I placed their swords beside yours as they requested. When I died, mine was also to be placed there.'
