Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 345 Encounter on the Road

"Really, there are so many people."

Shen Siyuan arrived at the restaurant Dou Dou had ntioned, only to find the entrance packed with people waiting for a seat. He wondered if half the town was there. Was the food really that good?

Because it was too crowded, Shen Siyuan didn’t want to wait aimlessly, so he continued walking, planning to find a less crowded eatery to fill his stomach.

"Eh, why are we leaving? Aren’t we eating here? Their grilled fish is really delicious."

Dou Dou seed even more anxious than Shen Siyuan, tugging on his clothes, trying to pull him back.

"There are too many people, let’s forget it." Shen Siyuan reached out and picked her up.

The little one was light and airy, swinging in his hand like a pendulum.

To outsiders, Shen Siyuan might appear a bit strange, not knowing that he had a child hanging on his arm.

One man and three ghosts continued walking until they finally saw a small restaurant. Although there were also quite a few custors inside, there were empty seats, so he strode in directly.

"Handso guy, what will you eat?"

As soon as Shen Siyuan sat down, an elderly aunty approached him with a nu.

"What food do you have?"

"We have seafood, barbecue, stir-fries," the aunty said warmly.

Then he saw soone bring in their own seafood for the owner to cook.

Noticing Shen Siyuan’s gaze, the aunty smiled and said, "You can also go to the market and buy it yourself, then bring it here for us to cook, we’ll charge a processing fee."

This was a feature of the coastal areas. In other inland places, bringing your own food into a restaurant to have the owner cook it would surely get you kicked out.

"No need, I’ll just have what you offer here."

"Actually, it’s all the sa, all fresh. You can pick it yourself."

She pointed to a glass tank on the wall to the right, filled with fresh seafood. You could choose anything you wanted, and they would catch and kill it on the spot.

"Give a grilled fish, so smoked bacon, oysters..."

Shen Siyuan casually ordered so dishes, all in generous portions.

"That seems like a lot; can you finish it?" the aunty kindly reminded him.

"Don’t worry, I have a big appetite."

The aunty saw that Shen Siyuan had a tall and sturdy build, so she didn’t say anything more and went to the back kitchen to place the order.

But she quickly returned, bringing Shen Siyuan a pitcher of iced tea.

"It’s homade, have a taste."

"Thank you."

Shen Siyuan expressed his gratitude, poured himself a cup; it was refreshing, not very sweet, and quite delightful.

"Is it good?" Dou Dou asked curiously from the side.

So Shen Siyuan poured another cup and set it aside for her to taste.

Dou Dou leaned her little head in, took a deep sip, then shivered from the cold, showing a pleasantly cool and tart expression.

Seeing the little one nodding her head vigorously, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but find it amusing.

However, the Qi Eating Technique, while pleasant, was just a slight tasting experience. It couldn’t compare to the joy of a full al.

As a Fan Soul of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it wasn’t just about simple combat abilities. In the mories of the Jiuyou Demon Lord, Fan Souls were not just for fending off enemies.

They could even walk in the Mortal World like ordinary people, indistinguishable from the living, unless one had attained a certain level of cultivation or mastered the Observing Qi Skill to see through their true forms.

The Fan Souls could also cultivate, and there was no bottleneck in their cultivation progress, which was extrely fast.

Moreover, within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, there were inherent laws. The Banner Master could bestow these laws upon the Fan Souls, allowing them to possess various incredible Divine Skills. They were sowhat like appointed deities in the celestial court, automatically mastering certain powers related to their positions. This was the true essence of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Otherwise, no matter how many ghosts the Banner Master commands, they are just a group of insignificant beings. To those on the path of cultivation, these ordinary ghosts can be easily destroyed; they probably won’t have the chance to grow before the Banner Master perishes.

Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is now so damaged that its power has been reduced to a re tenth, reducing Dou Dou and the others to re mascots.

Otherwise, the previous two trips to the Netherworld, when encountering those dead souls, they wouldn’t have felt any fear and would’ve possessed the power to fight.

Thus, it is possible that one day Dou Dou and the others will be like ordinary people—able to eat, drink, sleep, rest, and also possess so special abilities not held by regular people.

Apart from being eternally enslaved by Shen Siyuan, it seems there are no other drawbacks.

Of course, this ’one day’ is uncertain, even Shen Siyuan has no idea when it will co.

After all, the repair of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has, at most, only reached one thousandth of completion.

Therefore, this is going to be an exceedingly long journey unless so other opportunity arises.

Shen Siyuan has a faint feeling in his heart that this opportunity is probably still in the Netherworld.

After waiting approximately half an hour, the dishes were served one after another, and during this ti, Shen Siyuan gave Ruan Hongzhuang a call to inform her of his location.

The barbecue tasted surprisingly good. After a fulfilling al, Shen Siyuan was ready to continue his journey.

He is out for cultivation, not for a leisure trip. Although he had been traveling for a whole day, he did not feel tired at the mont. After a full al, he felt even more spirited and continued on his way under the moonlight.

As Shen Siyuan moved away from the town, the world seed to quiet down instantly. He looked back subconsciously at the brightly lit area behind him and montarily felt as if he were detached from the world.

But this feeling ca and went quickly.

The night road was extrely quiet; Shen Siyuan, walking under the moonlight, seed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

At this mont, Dou Dou, Duoduo, and Xu Shilong were not accompanying him; instead, they were kept inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Mainly because Shen Siyuan wanted so peace and quiet, especially from Dou Dou, the little thing who was just too noisy. He didn’t want him to disrupt this rare tranquility.

However, this tranquility was soon broken.

He heard a rhythmic tapping sound coming from ahead.

"Tap~ Tap~ Tap..."

The more he didn’t want to listen, the more the sound drilled into his ears.

In the dark night, such a unique sound would scare ordinary people to death.

Fortunately, Shen Siyuan was no ordinary person. As soone who could casually play with ghosts, he was naturally not afraid of these things.

So he quickened his pace, saw clearly what was ahead, and finally understood the situation.

A frail old man holding a bamboo staff was the source of the sound.

This old man was the beggar Shen Siyuan had encountered when he first entered the town.

He was hunched over, his head lowered, silently moving forward in the night, appearing very solitary.

And that young and beautiful ghost silently followed behind him.

Seemingly sensing soone behind him, the old man stopped walking, turned his head, and glanced.

Seeing it was Shen Siyuan, the old man did not speak; he just gave Shen Siyuan a murky look and continued on his way, without sadness or joy, like a walking corpse.

The female ghost, on the other hand, floated directly towards Shen Siyuan.

She first looked around Shen Siyuan, not seeing the three little ones, and her face showed a hint of surprise and also so caution.

"Can you see ?"

During their first encounter, she had noticed Shen Siyuan’s gaze on her.

And now, he was staring directly at her.

Yet she still found it hard to believe, considering that only those with weakened ’three fires’, misfortune entwined, and life nearly at an end, might see her through so fortuitous coincidence.

Clearly, Shen Siyuan did not fall into that category; his ’three fires’ blazed fiercely, like three torches illuminating the darkness, his vitality so strong it was almost terrifying. Such a person should not only be unable to see ghosts, but even ghosts should avoid him.

She felt the sa now, daring only to stand at a distance, afraid to co too close and get scorched, hence her question.
