Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 199: A Family of Three
Ruan Hongzhuang had a dream last night, and the dream was not complicated.
Grandma went to et an old man with white hair, smiling and calling him Junior Brother.
Of course, Junior Brother couldn’t see her, but she stayed by his side, accompanying him to read, to watch him play chess and paint, to grow flowers together in the yard, and to stroll with him in the park.
No matter how you looked at it, it was all wrong, but Ruan Hongzhuang thought it was just a rather absurd dream, so she didn’t care much about it.
But now, hearing Shen Siyuan speak about it, she instantly realized that it may not have been just a dream.
Because the dream was too real, too logical.
"How can... How can this be?"
Before Shen Siyuan could speak, she emphasized, "My grandparents, they had a very good relationship."
"Is all that true?" Ruan Hongzhuang still found it hard to believe.
"Of course it’s true, what you dread of is the reflection of your grandma’s consciousness, it really exists."
It turns out that Xiao Yue and Grandpa Liu had been unable to find the whereabouts of Ruan Hongzhuang’s grandmother Su Jin, so they guessed she might have left Qionghai.
Therefore, last night while Ruan Hongzhuang was sound asleep, Shen Siyuan took a strand of her hair and cast a tracking spell using the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Because of their mutual concern for each other, it was like a rope that tightly connected the longing hearts.
So, the mont the spell succeeded, the spirit not only reflected the other party’s position but also their recent mories.
If one was awake, due to the chaotic thoughts, the spirit like a turbid pond, the reflected image would not be very clear.
But when one is fast asleep, especially in deep sleep, the spirit calms down completely, the murky pond becos smooth as a mirror, naturally reflecting a crystal-clear image.
Ruan Hongzhuang found herself in such a situation, but she took it all as one of her own absurd dreams.
"Where... Where is she now?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.
"She should be in Diannan, do you want to go see her?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang fell silent. Shen Siyuan did not rush her either, letting her take her ti to decide.
Shen Siyuan then returned to wander inside the house. The house has a total of 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 4 bathrooms, a full panoramic living room, and no corner pillars, with a 270-degree boundless balcony. The entire room’s layout stands out for its viewing experience, integrating the indoors with the outdoors, making it extrely luxurious and grand.
According to the previous estimation based on its area, it would cost over ten million. Now it seems it might even surpass that price, Lin Jianming and his wife really spared no expense, dropping tens of millions as if it were nothing.
Shen Siyuan wandered around the house, with Duoduo following behind him, looking around everywhere.
"Is it like your ho?" Shen Siyuan asked.
"A little bit like it." Duoduo said.
Both families were in the sa building on the sa floor, so naturally, the house types were not much different.
However, after seeing all these, Shen Siyuan pondered another question: This house, could it withstand a typhoon?
Two of the four walls were almost entirely glass, could they withstand a typhoon?
Moreover, for such a big house, with the wind and the rain, daily cleaning and maintenance would probably be a troubleso matter.
On top of that, there were the electric bills, water bills, and property managent fees, likely to be a significant expense as well.
With Shen Siyuan’s ager salary, it probably wouldn’t be enough to cover the monthly expenses.
Indeed, even if a poor person were given a big house, they couldn’t afford to live in it.
"Do you want to co with ?" Shen Siyuan asked Duoduo.
"Where to?" Duoduo asked curiously.
This little one was naively clueless.
"Of course, to my place."
"Don’t you live here?"
"I’ll move here in a couple of days."
The place he is living in now is small, but there are a lot of belongings. It seems like he’ll need a moving company to relocate them all.
But Shen Siyuan quickly realizes sothing is amiss—I can just store everything in the magical space, why would I need a moving company?
Having lived like a normal person for so long, it takes a mont for him to adjust his way of thinking.
"Then I’ll go back with you," Duoduo says.
Seeing Duoduo standing still without any further action.
Shen Siyuan reminds her, "Go and tell your dad and mom, then we’ll leave together."
It is then that Duoduo rembers, whipping up a gust of Yin Wind, she heads back to her own ho.
Shen Siyuan sees Ruan Hongzhuang coming in from the balcony and finally asks, "Have you made up your mind?"
Ruan Hongzhuang doesn’t answer this question but instead asks back, "Will grandma co back again?"
"Of course, as long as she still keeps you in her heart, she will definitely co back."
Shen Siyuan is so confident that Ruan Hongzhuang’s grandmother won’t dissolve into the heavens and earth due to letting go of all her obsessions because of the spell he cast, binding the two of them together.
Unless Shen Siyuan takes the initiative to undo it or Ruan Hongzhuang dies, her grandmother will not be able to break free from this magic and be completely liberated.
Otherwise, Ruan Hongzhuang’s grandmother will be eternally trapped in the Mortal World, bound by his side, unable to find release.
This Cultivation Technique sounds a bit sinister, which is just right because it’s a Demon Path trick—how could it be openly noble.
"In that case, I... I won’t disturb her then," Ruan Hongzhuang says.
"She seed very happy..." Ruan Hongzhuang adds.
Even in her dreams, Ruan Hongzhuang could feel the overwhelming sense of bliss exuding from her grandmother.
Her face was warm and affectionate; a look, a smile, all were tender as water. Even though she was an old woman, she radiated an elegant and deep emotion.
That’s why Ruan Hongzhuang doesn’t want to disturb her happiness.
Her grandfather had passed away many years ago; she barely rembered him, and besides, it was the private matter of her elders. She shouldn’t interfere too much.
Hearing Ruan Hongzhuang speak like this, Shen Siyuan actually feels a bit surprised.
Because Ruan Hongzhuang is quite a strong-willed woman, it’s just that she has tad her temperant in front of him.
So according to Shen Siyuan’s understanding, she would likely be indignant and then head straight to Diannan, to see her, to confront her...
Noticing Shen Siyuan’s reaction, Ruan Hongzhuang gives him an unsatisfied glare.
"What do you take for? Am I the kind of person who makes a scene?"
Shen Siyuan nods: "You are."
Knowing he is joking, but still playfully pretending to be angry, Ruan Hongzhuang punches him gently.
"Let’s go."
Just then, a gust of Yin Wind touches down and materializes into Duoduo, who stands with hands on her hips, as if she has accomplished sothing significant.
Lin Jianming and his wife stand on the balcony, watching Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang leave with Duoduo.
Song Qingwei’s tone carries a hint of sourness: "They actually look like a family of three."
Hearing this, a thought strikes Lin Jianming as he counters, "Isn’t that a good thing?"
Song Qingwei doesn’t answer, and Lin Jianming goes on, "We’re already old, and with Mr. Shen taking care of Duoduo, we can rest easy. Actually, this is quite nice."
Song Qingwei knows this all too well, but watching Duoduo leave with Shen Siyuan, as a mother, she inevitably feels like her own child is being taken away by soone else.
"Let’s never talk like that again."
"I know, I’m not stupid."
"Let’s go; we’ll also take a stroll by the seaside."
