Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 957 - 953: Request
Xiao Yue saw Jiang Yuanliu take a few steps forward, looking eager, and instinctively felt wary.
A bug radiating a ghostly blue color erged from deep within her hair.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuanliu stopped in his tracks, startled.
Next to her, Dou Dou and Duoduo, seeing what occurred, willed the Netherworld Fire Fireflies to co out.
Netherworld Fire Fireflies evolved from Iron-eating Fireflies, threatened not only ghosts but humans too, as before their evolution, these fireflies fed on tal veins.
How could human flesh and blood resist their gnawing?
Jiang Yuanliu stopped advancing, clasped his hands in front of him earnestly: "Please, sirs, hold on. I have a request; I wish to inquire about the Netherworld."
He looked up at Xiao Yue, eyes filled with unable-to-contain anticipation: "I have lived most of my life, always curious about the afterlife’s appearance, and if we can reunite with passed loved ones there."
Upon hearing the word "Netherworld", Xiao Yue felt a thump in her heart.
Shen Siyuan had previously emphasized never to casually disclose matters about the Netherworld or ghost gods to outsiders, especially ordinary humans.
She instinctively retreated half a step, her tone becoming cautious: "Sorry, we can’t tell you about the Netherworld."
After all, she was still a child; in giving this answer, she actually revealed quite a lot.
Thus, Jiang Yuanliu wasn’t disappointed; he was even sowhat excited; hearing about the Netherworld for the first ti in so many years ant there’s a resting place after death, surely sothing worth celebrating, right?
"Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now. Potato is waiting for us to return." Dou Dou saw the old man standing there dazed and said impatiently.
"Potato."
The old man was very clever, instantly understanding the aning behind the word shotgun and felt invigorated.
Turns out these little ghosts have elders at ho.
He hurriedly asked: "Where does the three Ghost ssenger’s elder brother reside? Can I visit tomorrow?"
He saw that communicating with the three little ones was tough, so he’d rather et their elder brother, perhaps gaining more insights.
"No way." Xiao Yue imdiately refused.
This left Jiang Yuanliu sowhat disappointed.
But then Xiao Yue said: "I can tell my brother if he agrees to et you, I’ll co find you."
"Alright... alright... I’ll wait for you at the bus stop tomorrow." Jiang Yuanliu pointed to the bus stop nearby.
It had "Hanguang Gate" written on it.
"Understood, see you tomorrow." Xiao Yue finished, transforming into a Yin Wind flying into the sky.
Seeing this, Dou Dou and Duoduo quickly followed suit.
The old man solemnly bowed in reverence.
He didn’t belittle the three for their childlike appearance.
As night deepened, Xi’an City’s neon lights blurred in the clouds.
Transford into Yin Wind, the three of them swept across the streets, with Dou Dou excitedly chattering, while Duoduo occasionally glanced back at the platform.
Upon returning to the hotel room, Shen Siyuan was sitting on the sofa by the window, flipping through an old book under the warm lamp light, making the room’s air seem peaceful.
Hearing the Yin Wind’s landing sound, he looked up, first at Xiao Yue, then at Dou Dou and Duoduo, with a knowing look.
"Where did you wander off to?" Shen Siyuan closed the book, his tone gentle.
Dou Dou imdiately ran over, tugging his sleeve and shaking it: "Brother! Not only did we go to the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, but we even touched the tower! And we t a strange old man, he could see us, and called us Ghost ssengers... hehe..."
Shen Siyuan looked at Xiao Yue; only then did Xiao Yue step forward and tell him about eting Jiang Yuanliu.
Shen Siyuan wasn’t surprised; since Bin Hai had Granny Huang, a thousand-year-old ancient capital like Xijing naturally wouldn’t lack similar extraordinary people.
Shen Siyuan didn’t imdiately speak, gently rubbing the book’s spine, and after a mont said: "Alright, we’ll see him tomorrow then."
Shen Siyuan himself was curious about Jiang Yuanliu since communication thods with ghost gods varied vastly across different places due to differing cultures and beliefs.
"Alright, you all go rest." Shen Siyuan waved.
The three quickly went to their room, the children’s thed room that Shen Siyuan arranged for them.
However, in the process, Dou Dou slipped into the next room, seeing Tang Tang and Xiao Ya sleeping, returned regretfully; she didn’t want to sleep yet and wanted to play with them.
The hotel where Shen Siyuan stayed offered breakfast, self-serve style, take as much as you want.
Tang Tang loved this style, her tray piled high.
"Taking so much, can you finish it? If not, you’ll get a spanking." Shen Siyuan said amusedly observing her.
"han~"
Tang Tang grinned and bobbed her head.
Ah-woo, ah-woo, she indicated her appetite.
But due to her swaying, her tray beca unsteady and fell.
However, Shen Siyuan swiftly caught it, not a single morsel spilled, as if ti had montarily stopped.
"Wow~" Xiao Ya, following behind, exclaid.
Her tray was equally loaded as Tang Tang’s.
Always lacking food, she was like a little mouse falling into a vat of rice, wanting to pile everything onto her plate and feast.
But it was obvious that the two little ones overestimated themselves; after eating barely three out of ten, they couldn’t take another bite.
In the end, Shen Siyuan had to eat it; wasting it would’ve been a sha, not that he’d worry about gaining weight, it all turned into his needed "energy."
"Where’s Dou Dou? Haven’t seen her all morning." Taozi looked around, puzzled as Dou Dou should be the one attracting attention now.
"She had sothing in the morning, she’ll be back later." Shen Siyuan said.
"Any plans today? Visit nearby attractions or continue traveling?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.
"It’s rare for us to visit, we should explore, otherwise it’d be a wasted trip. Anyway, we’re not in a hurry." Shen Siyuan replied.
"That’s just you."
Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but roll her eyes; she’s on a tight schedule; going on like this, she might not walk far with them.
anwhile, Xiao Yue also held the sa confusion.
"Aren’t you with Brother and them, why follow ?"
She then looked towards the other side at Duoduo.
"You too."
"Hehe, I’m going to see the old man." Dou Dou said.
" too." Duoduo imdiately replied.
Xiao Yue felt speechless; an old man, what’s there to see?
