Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 569: The Touch of Life
"Great Grandmother, walk this way, walk this way..., glide forward along the edge..."
Dou Dou waved her little hand, inviting Great Grandmother to glide along the road edge with her.
Great Grandmother was amused by her.
"I’m so old now, I can’t just get up after falling like you can."
"Aren’t you supposed to get stronger as you get older?" Dou Dou said.
"Indeed, the older you get, the stronger you beco, but once you’re too old, you age, just like Great Grandmother here, I’ve lived a long, long ti..."
"How long is a long ti?" Dou Dou pressed for the answer.
Great Grandmother didn’t mind her persistence and patiently explained.
"It’s like ten or so of you."
"Ten or so... wow..."
Dou Dou’s eyes widened in shock, her expression amusing Great Grandmother to laughter.
Then she asked puzzledly, "How many is ten or so?"
Great Grandmother: ...
"Great Grandmother look, this leaf is big and round..."
"Great Grandmother, step in my footsteps, this way the sun won’t shine on you..."
"Great Grandmother, what’s that bird flying in the sky? You can’t see it clearly? I can fly up to take a look for you..."
"Great Grandmother, that cloud looks like a cotton candy, oh, I’ve not had cotton candy in a long, long ti..."
"Great Grandmother, want to sing you a song..."
"Great Grandmother, do you love the most..."
...
"Great Grandmother, are you tired?"
"Yes, Great Grandmother’s old now, can’t compare to you little ones."
"Then, I’ll help you over to take a rest."
...
Dou Dou guided Great Grandmother to a nearby bench.
But she was too short, rather than support, it was more like leading Great Grandmother.
Shen Siyuan and Taozi were holding hands, quietly following behind.
At this mont, within Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness, tiny flas began to ignite upon the bare Fire Tree, and Shen Siyuan was incredibly surprised.
Previously, he couldn’t figure out how the Divine Fire appeared, so he couldn’t understand how to regenerate it. Unexpectedly, by chance today, new flas were born. This ti, Shen Siyuan seed to grasp sothing.
Dou Dou and Great Grandmother sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, facing a small shop.
The shop mainly sold cold drinks, small accessories, and so children’s toys.
Bin Hai is a tourist city, so there are many small stores like this, even if Haitang Park isn’t a famous attraction, it’s the sa.
Across the street, a couple with two children was buying fresh coconuts from the shop owner.
The fresh coconuts were punctured on the spot, then a straw was inserted to drink from.
Clearly, they were out-of-town visitors.
Because real coconut water isn’t as tasty as drinks, it tastes like sugarcane juice with added water, quite bland.
Plus, fresh coconuts are heavy, holding one in your arms for a while can be exhausting.
Only tourists like to try sothing new, locals rarely drink them, and even if they do, they wouldn’t hold such a large coconut.
So coconuts held no appeal for Dou Dou.
The reason she was staring, looking gluttonous, was because she saw the big ice cream advertisent across the way.
"What do you want to eat? Great Grandmother will buy it for you."
"I want to eat ice cream," Dou Dou imdiately said.
Then, like a deflated ball, she sighed and said, "But alas, I’m a ghost now, and I can’t eat anything."
"I see..." Great Grandmother felt a bit sad hearing this.
"But I can Eat Qi, and taste the flavor of ice cream," Dou Dou added.
Great Grandmother didn’t understand what Eat Qi was, but hearing she could taste ice cream, she imdiately called out to Taozi beside her.
"Taozi."
"What is it, Grandma?"
"Go get us an ice cream, no, two," Great Grandmother said.
"Two?"
"I want one too." Great Grandmother said confidently.
As for what her aunt said that morning before going out, it was forgotten entirely.
And Taozi didn’t object, she just glanced at Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan nodded and said, "It’s fine, I’m here."
This made Taozi completely at ease, she then quickly went across the street and soon ca back with two ice creams.
Dou Dou imdiately reached out excitedly to take one. Sitting on the bench, her little feet were happily swinging in the air.
"Aren’t you and Xiao Shen going to eat?" Great Grandmother asked.
"I can’t hold everything, you eat first, I’ll go buy more."
For a foodie like Taozi, how could she not get one for herself?
Great Grandmother probably hadn’t had ice cream in a long ti, she took a lick and her wrinkled face seed to glow with happiness.
Then she instinctively looked down at Dou Dou, who was also looking up at her.
She held the ice cream in her hand, her face lit up with a bright smile.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on them.
At this mont of eye contact, ti seed to stand still, happiness seed ready to overflow.
Shen Siyuan watched this scene, and the Divine Fire in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly surged. At that mont, a head leaned over and licked the ice cream in his hand.
Shen Siyuan turned to see, who else but Taozi?
"I wanted to taste what flavor your ice cream is."
Her lips were dotted with ice cream, squinting, her face radiated with a blissful smile.
Shen Siyuan felt a mont of disorientation again, and on the Fire Tree in his Sea of Consciousness, the tiny flas transford into lotus-like ones, fiery red and magnificent.
At this mont, Shen Siyuan finally understood why the Divine Fire suddenly erged in the Sea of Consciousness.
It was because the Divine Fire ca from his emotional response to life, creating a lody of the soul, causing his mind and thoughts to transform, from which the Divine Fire was born.
Previously, he only knew the Divine Fire was a combination of his thoughts, desires, and his understanding of life, the fireworks of thoughts, but he didn’t know how it was born. Now he finally understood.
Seek every mont of inspiration in life.
That is the condition for the Divine Fire to be born.
Unexpectedly, accompanying Taozi to visit Grandma today yielded such a harvest.
Even though it was already December, the weather in Bin Hai was still hot, so Taozi’s ice cream quickly lted halfway.
Great Grandmother saw Taozi licking here and there, thinking Taozi was eating it, while in reality, she was just pretending.
"Hurry and eat it, or it’ll all lt away."
"It’s okay, the sun can have it, I’ll just sll the flavor, I won’t mind the sun, because the sun is hot too..." Dou Dou said innocently.
As Dou Dou spoke, the Divine Fire in Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness surged once more.
"I can’t eat anymore, it feels cold on my chest, such a pity to waste it."
Great Grandmother, after all, was old. After eating half, she felt her body slightly cold.
"It’s okay, Grandma, eat this, and you won’t feel cold,"
Shen Siyuan reached out and offered a green pill.
Great Grandmother looked at the pill in Shen Siyuan’s hand, took it without a second thought, and put it in her mouth.
Seeing this, Dou Dou imdiately stretched out her little hand.
"Give one too, I also feel a bit chilly on the chest."
Shen Siyuan: ...
