Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 1093 - 1089: Fragrant Poison

Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang lingered at Taozi’s house until after dinner before embarking on their journey ho accompanied by the evening glow.

The three of them did not drive, instead walking leisurely along the coastal line of Bin Hai. The evening breeze carried a salty, fishy sll from the sea, dispersing the day’s heat.

Throughout the day, there wasn’t much conversation between Jiang Hongtu’s family and Shen Siyuan, but they hit it off with Ruan Hongzhuang, talking about everything from trivial daily matters to past interesting stories, the atmosphere was so harmonious that Ruan Hongzhuang seed to be their own daughter.

Before leaving, Taozi’s mother, Qi Huilan, specially took out a golden bracelet and fastened it on Ruan Hongzhuang’s wrist with her own hands.

The bracelet had a simple and exquisite design with delicate patterns, clearly an heirloom with significant historical value, far surpassing that of gold itself.

Ruan Hongzhuang caressed the golden bracelet on her wrist, turned her head to look at Taozi, who was bouncing beside her, and asked with a smile, "Now, your parents should be relieved, right?"

"Huh? Relieved about what?"

Taozi blinked her big round eyes with a look of confusion, obviously not understanding what she ant.

"Your parents were worried that Ruan Ruan would bully you in the future."

Shen Siyuan, walking beside the two, explained with a smile, "Ruan Ruan insisted on coming along this ti to reassure uncle and aunt."

Only now did he understand Ruan Hongzhuang’s intention for coming along.

"Really? My parents didn’t say that."

Taozi scratched her head, still looking puzzled, her naïve expression resembling that of the foolish Dou Dou in everyday life, making Shen Siyuan laugh involuntarily.

"They’re just worrying blindly."

Taozi pouted, turned her head to look at Ruan Hongzhuang, and said confidently, "Ruan Ruan would never bully , right Ruan Ruan?"

"That might not be the case."

Ruan Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, teasing her.

"Oh dear~ Darling, look at her."

Taozi imdiately twisted her body, coquettishly appealing to Shen Siyuan, her voice sweet as cotton candy.

This honeyed call of "darling" raised goosebumps on Ruan Hongzhuang, who grasped Taozi’s fair cheeks with her hand and gently pinched, "Keep being this mushy and I’ll have to teach you a lesson."

"I don’t dare, I don’t dare."

Taozi quickly begged for rcy, yet her dewy eyes peeked at Shen Siyuan pitifully.

Seeing her capitulate, Ruan Hongzhuang then let go.

Shen Siyuan looked at the faint red mark on Taozi’s fair cheeks and gently rubbed it for her, saying to Ruan Hongzhuang with a smile, "Ease up."

"Exactly, exactly!"

With Shen Siyuan’s backing, Taozi imdiately straightened her little waist, full of confidence, "Just now we were talking about being best friends."

Ruan Hongzhuang glared at Shen Siyuan discontentedly, grumbling, "We haven’t even officially had the wedding, and you’re already backing her? And besides, I wasn’t even using force, it’s purely because her skin is too thin, can’t stand a touch."

"Right, my skin is thin, and yours is thick."

Taozi seized the opportunity to jest, making a funny face.

"You rascal, don’t learn, is that it?"

Ruan Hongzhuang pretended to reach out.

Taozi was frightened and quickly turned, dashing off, "I won’t go head-to-head with you!"

"Don’t run, stay put for ."

Ruan Hongzhuang chased laughingly, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the evening breeze.

"Not running would be foolish."

Taozi turned and made another funny face, yet her steps didn’t stop.

"Wait till I catch you, see how I’ll deal with you."

"You’ll have to catch first."

The setting sun dyed the sky orange, casting its glow on the shore, stretching their shadows long.

The crisp laughter mingled with the sound of waves crashing against the shore, lingering in the evening breeze for a long ti.

Shen Siyuan strolled leisurely behind them, hands behind his back, watching the lively scene before him with a gentle smile on his lips.

The evening breeze brushed against him, tinged with salty sea air, distant horizon fusing with the sunset, the shimring sea reflecting orange hues intertwined with their laughter, everything appearing so serene and beautiful.

-----------------

Late night, calm and quiet.

With a thought, Shen Siyuan pinched a finger formula, and Xiao Yue, Duoduo, and Dou Dou appeared on the balcony.

"How are you feeling?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"I feel scarily strong, enough to kill a big tiger." Dou Dou swung the copper hamr in his hand, exuding aggressiveness.

"I feel like I’m about to explode."

Duoduo said, and then her body literally exploded in the air, transforming into wisps of blue smoke.

Only Xiao Yue calmly said, "Feels like my body is out of control, with power having nowhere to vent."

"This is due to your rapid surge in strength, aside from gradually adapting, there’s another way." Shen Siyuan said.

"What way?" Dou Dou asked curiously, tilting his little head.

"That is to vent it out." Shen Siyuan said.

"Duoduo."

"I’m here."

The smoke in the air fell back to the ground, reverting to Duoduo’s form.

"Let’s go to the Netherworld." Shen Siyuan said.

"Oh right, we can go clear evil and vent this power within." Xiao Yue remarked in awakening.

Duoduo took out her Qiankun Umbrella, covering the group, turning the handle, instantly Qiankun Inversion, in the blink of an eye, spanning thousands of miles.

They were still in that villa at Si Ming’s, but before everyone could clearly see the surroundings, she turned the handle of the umbrella again, and in an instant, they arrived in the Yangzhou Netherworld.

The Netherworld remained gray and lifelessly oppressive, seemingly unchanged.

"What is this place?" Dou Dou surveyed the surroundings.

This wasn’t the place they had left previously.

All around were swamps, large and small, all of black sludge, beneath which a kind of evil wriggled incessantly.

Beneath their feet was a winding path, distinct from the swamps.

Seeing the surrounding scenes, Dou Dou instinctively shrank back behind Shen Siyuan.

"Brother, should we change places?"

Duoduo furrowed her brows, she hadn’t expected the random teleport location to be so disgusting.

Xiao Yue, however, said nothing unnecessary, instead, facing the nearest swamp, uttered a True Word: "There is Nanshan, a mountain of rocks."

Then an invisible mountain pressed down horizontally toward the nearest swamp.

With a loud boom, mud splattered everywhere, the Mud Worm hidden beneath instantly crushed into ashes.

"Oh dear."

Dou Dou hurriedly tucked his body behind Shen Siyuan to avoid getting mud on himself.

Duoduo transford into a wisp of smoke, untouched by anything.

Contrarily, Xiao Yue, who had initiated the act, reacted slower, seeing the mud splatter, forgot to evade.

Luckily, Shen Siyuan intervened, reaching out to hold the muddy splatter in midair.

This wasn’t because Shen Siyuan’s divine skills were strong, rely an application of Primordial Magnetic.

As Shen Siyuan lightly waved his hand, all the mud flew back into the pit from which it ca.

"Brother." Xiao Yue looked at Shen Siyuan sowhat embarrassed.

"It’s fine." Shen Siyuan waived his hand.

Then asked, "Did you notice just now?"

Xiao Yue nodded.

Dou Dou and Duoduo looked confused, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Those Mud Worms weren’t all killed by True Words, they... they..." Xiao Yue struggled to find the words.

"Poisoned?"

"Right, sowhat similar, feels like a potent poison, instantly lted away." Xiao Yue supplented.

"What are you talking about?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"Go kill that Mud Worm, then you’ll know."

Following the direction of his finger, a large Mud Worm was slowly crawling out of the mud pit, covered in viscous black sludge, limbs twisted, exuding a nauseating stench, its blood-red eyes fixated on them with frenzied murderous intent.
