Chapter 354: Chapter 354

Han Shuang had never expected her fifth son to be so disrespectful to her, and her eyes immediately reddened with anger.

"Tong Tong, don’t talk nonsense!"

Jin Tong’s gaze grew increasingly resolute as he began to reveal all the sordid details, bit by bit.

"After Jin Yao and Shi Bai became mates, you saw the Golden Dragon totem appear on Shi Bai. You were very happy then, weren’t you?"

"Even the entire Golden Dragon Clan was overjoyed, weren’t they?"

"You thought your adopted daughter, even though she was from the Earth Dragon lineage, had truly become a Golden Dragon."

"But have you ever seen Si Yan’s totem? Si Yan’s totem is not a Golden Dragon totem."

Jin Yang and Jin Kun, during their interactions with Si Yan, had occasionally seen her totem. They lowered their eyes in thought.

Jin Qian’s face filled with shock. He quickly understood what Jin Tong meant, and his heart ached with pain.

So that was it. That was how it was.

Had everything belonging to the Sixth Sister been stolen by this earthworm when she was just an infant?

And he, unable to distinguish good from bad, had doted on a wicked female who intended to harm his sister!

Han Shuang’s face was stern. "Tong Tong, what on earth are you saying?"

Jin Tong clenched his teeth and said, "Because you invited a wolf into our home, and because you gave that wolf everything it needed. Jin Yao even stole Si Yan’s totem."

He sneered. "How do you expect us to be kind to such a vile female, to like her?"

Han Shuang furrowed her brow, somewhat shaken. She asked Jin Yao, "What exactly is the deal with your totem?"

Jin Yao immediately feigned ignorance. "Mother, you have to believe me! I don’t know, I really don’t know! My totem has always been a Golden Dragon totem!"

Han Shuang said to Jin Tong with a frown, "Yao Yao came to the Golden Dragon Clan as a baby. She couldn’t have done anything back then. Even if she really did usurp Si Yan’s destiny, Yao Yao wasn’t the one who did it."

Jin Qian’s eyes were bloodshot as he said to Han Shuang, "Mother, are you still protecting this thieving female?"

Jin Yao immediately retorted, "Second Brother, how can you say that about me? I’m not a thief!"

"You’re not a thief?" Jin Yang suddenly laughed. "Right, you’re not a thief, you’re a grand thief! You steal people’s destinies, their identities, their totems!"

Jin Kun said, "Do you all remember? When the Sixth Sister was born, heaven and earth shone with brilliance. Her destiny was proclaimed by the Priests to be the highest in the Beast World; some Priests even bluntly called it a divine fate. Even the High Priest from White Eagle City rushed over. Unfortunately... the Sixth Sister was born with great luck, which attracted someone’s covetous attention."

Han Shuang grew impatient.

"Enough! Are you four brothers ganging up to bully your sister?"

Jin Tong said, "We’re not bullying our sister. However, Jin Yao is not our sister."

"Fifth Brother!!!" Jin Yao desperately tried to approach him. "It’s not like that! I am your sister, you can’t treat me this way!" Follow current novels on novᴇlfire.net

Jin Tong was under the influence of the Spring Return Witch Medicine. Jin Yao did her best to appear alluring yet pitiful.

Jin Tong’s vision blurred for a moment. He dug his fingernails into his palm, and blood dripped down.

The pain kept him clear-headed.

His gaze turned icy as he looked at her. "Slut!"

Jin Yao’s face immediately turned unsightly.

Han Shuang said angrily, "Tong Tong! Apologize to your sister!"

Jin Tong said, "You’ve been pushing me all day. Now, let me give you a choice too."

"Mother, between me and Jin Yao, you can only choose one today. Who will it be?"

Han Shuang suddenly felt a sharp pang in her heart. She shouted, "You scoundrel! How dare you pressure your own mother!"

Jin Tong looked at her with a trace of hope.

The Golden Dragon Clan and the Snake Tribe shared one thing in common.

Since childhood, they are all deeply attached to their mothers.

"Mother, if you choose me, I am still your son."

Han Shuang thought differently.

Jin Tong was her blood; that could not change. No matter what, the blood connection between them remained. He would always be her son. But Jin Yao had nothing. She absolutely could not give up on Jin Yao.

Han Shuang spoke with a cold face, "Jin Yao. I choose Jin Yao."

Jin Tong was stunned.

Then he suddenly chuckled, and then burst into loud laughter.

"I see now. I understand."

"From this day forward, I am no longer your son!"

Han Shuang exclaimed, "What outrageous nonsense are you spouting?!!"

The other three Golden Dragon Beastmen also snapped back from their shock.

Jin Yang also said angrily, "Mother, how could you choose Jin Yao over Jin Tong? Are you really not afraid of breaking Fifth Brother’s heart?"

"What about us brothers? If you had to choose between Jin Yao and us, who would you choose?!"

Han Shuang said furiously, "Have you all gone mad? You’re actually ganging up on your own mother! I’ve raised you for over twenty years!"

"Fine, fine! So you’ve all grown up and think you’re so capable now, even daring to disobey your mother."

"Get out! Get out! All of you, get out! I choose Jin Yao. All of you, get out!"

The expressions on Jin Yang, Jin Kun, and Jin Qian turned cold instantly. A mixture of hurt and sorrow was etched on their faces.

So, was this the same sorrow Si Yan felt when she wasn’t chosen by her own family?

"Fine, let’s go," Jin Yang said.

When Jin Ting arrived, this was the scene he witnessed.

As Jin Tong and the other three left, Han Shuang’s heart throbbed with continuous, sharp pains. She looked at Jin Ting with a crazed expression. "Do you want me to make a choice too? Ha! It doesn’t matter how many of you there are, I only want Yao Yao!!"

Jin Ting remained calm. His voice, tinged with concern and gentleness, said, "Mother, I won’t leave you."

Jin Ting’s words managed to somewhat calm the nearly hysterical Han Shuang.

She looked at Jin Ting.

Jin Ting said considerately, "As long as you don’t meddle with matchmaking and don’t try to pair me with Yao Yao, I won’t leave you."

Han Shuang huffed and stormed off.

When Si Yan arrived, she saw Jin Tong and his brothers.

Jin Yang, being the most talkative, recounted everything that had happened to Si Yan in a rush.

Si Yan was shocked to learn that they had completely fallen out with the Golden Dragon Clan.

And when she learned that Han Shuang had actually tried to force a match, intending to make Jin Tong mate with Jin Yao, she was utterly furious and speechless.

She quickly found an antidote pill and gave it to Jin Tong to swallow.

She said, "Brother, take this pill first. Tai Seng, quickly make some ice to cool my brother down."

Tai Seng quickly used his Special Ability to create ice.

But Jin Tong grabbed Si Yan’s hand. Although he looked a mess, his eyes were filled with joy.

"Sister, what did you call me?" he asked, unable to contain his excitement.

Si Yan simply focused on giving him the medicine.

Jin Tong persisted. "Say it again! Say it again so I can hear it! If you say it, I’ll take the medicine!"

Worn down by his persistence, Si Yan could only say, "Brother."

Jin Tong suddenly relaxed and slumped down. "Hearing you call me ’Brother’," he murmured, "I feel like even if I died right now, it would be worth it."

It was just one word, ’Brother.’ Was that really so exaggerated?

Jin Yang, Jin Kun, and Jin Qian watched Jin Tong, grinding their teeth in jealousy.

Jin Tong was the first to hear Si Yan call him ’Brother.’

Damn it! They had actually pitied him before. What was there to pity now?

If being drugged once could earn them a ’Brother’ from Si Yan, they’d be willing too!
