Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Full Disclosure

"So, you’re helping the little sister who was killed to find her family?"

"If we go by the time of birth, you should call her your older sister."

"→_→"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I’ve found you’re quite good at making up stories." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Thanks for the compliment." Shen Siyuan smiled.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan offered no defense, Ruan Hongzhuang became even more suspicious.

"You’re not saying all of this is true, are you?" Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Siyuan smiled and nodded.

"So, is the little sister here right now?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.

Then she suddenly remembered the way Shen Siyuan had been whispering earlier, and her face instantly turned pale.

However, the street was sunny at the moment, which reassured her a bit.

Seeing Shen Siyuan nod again, she couldn’t help but laugh: "It’s daytime now, the sun is shining brightly. If there really were ghosts, how could they dare to show up? You must be fooling me."

"Who told you ghosts can’t come out during the day?" Shen Siyuan said.

"That’s what stories say."

"You know that’s just a story, and you still believe it?"

"Ghosts are also from stories, who has seen them in reality?"

Shen Siyuan pointed back at himself.

"Hmph, keep making things up, unless you let me see it for myself." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Seeing it is possible, but not now." Shen Siyuan said.

"When is that, then?"

"You’ll know when the time comes."

"So mysterious."

Ruan Hongzhuang hooked her arm with Shen Siyuan’s, verbally expressing doubt, yet not really believing what Shen Siyuan said.

She even jokingly said, "Let’s go, help the little sister find her parents."

They left the alley, and another quieter alley lay in front of them.

Shen Siyuan didn’t continue the conversation with Ruan Hongzhuang but walked ahead, finally stopping in front of a red door.

"This must be the place."

Shen Siyuan checked the door number, and it seemed correct.

He then looked down at Duoduo and said, "Go in and have a look."

This time, Shen Siyuan didn’t avoid Ruan Hongzhuang, so not only did Duoduo hear, but Ruan Hongzhuang did too.

She was just about to say, "Really putting on a full act, still trying to fool me?"

But before she could speak, a sudden Yin Wind arose out of nowhere, howling as it appeared, followed by two more Yin Winds, causing Ruan Hongzhuang to change her expression.

"Is what you said all true?"

She looked at Shen Siyuan with doubt and shock.

Shen Siyuan smiled slightly, "Of course, it’s just whether you believe it or not?"

"But why can you see ghosts and even communicate with them?"

"Because I practice immortal cultivation, isn’t it normal to see ghosts?" Shen Siyuan said.

"The more you talk, the more absurd it sounds..."

Despite what Ruan Hongzhuang said, her heart for some reason started to believe him a bit, especially recalling the many wonders related to Shen Siyuan.

"You said every time we meet, you would give me flowers. You haven’t given today’s flowers yet." Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly said.

Shen Siyuan was taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly shift the topic.

But this wasn’t a problem for Shen Siyuan; he reached into the air, and a rose magically appeared in his palm.

Ruan Hongzhuang hurriedly reached out to take it, sniffed it, and felt it.

The rose was fresh, as if just cut from the stem, petals lush and vibrant.

Initially believing a bit, now she believed six or seven parts.

"In this world, are there really ghosts, gods, and people who practice immortal cultivation?" Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Shen Siyuan, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you believe now?" Shen Siyuan countered.

"I... I don’t believe it, unless I see a ghost with my own eyes." Ruan Hongzhuang stubbornly said.

"Remember what I said before?"

"What?"

"Knowing my secret, I will never let you leave until death. You should think this through," Shen Siyuan said, looking into her eyes.

Ruan Hongzhuang felt a bit flustered under Shen Siyuan’s gaze, but still retorted defiantly, "Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of?"

While they were talking, an Yin Wind rose from nowhere, swirling around them before settling down.

Thus, Shen Siyuan directly said, "Since that’s the case, Duoduo, show yourself and let your sister see you."

Shen Siyuan had already noticed that this alley was usually not busy with pedestrians, and it was even emptier at this time, so he wasn’t worried about being seen.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s serious demeanor,

Ruan Hongzhuang, whose cheeks were held by him, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She didn’t believe that a ghost would appear, especially under such bright sunlight.

Thus, she laughed, "You talk as if it’s real. Let me tell you, I’m not scared, ha...ha..."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s laughter abruptly caught in her throat as if someone had grasped her throat,

because, from the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a little girl slowly materializing beside her wearing a blue and white striped dress and with her hair styled in two little bunches.

The girl seemed to look unhappy, but she still waved at her and called out, "Sister."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s face instantly turned extremely pale.

Then, she abruptly grabbed onto Shen Siyuan’s arm, her eyes darting around in panic,

as if trying to figure out where the little girl had come from.

Ruan Hongzhuang squeezed Shen Siyuan’s arm tightly, causing the softness in front of her to deform from the pressure.

Shen Siyuan placed his hand gently on the back of her hand, patting it soothingly.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Besides, ghosts aren’t as scary as you think."

Then, he turned to Duoduo.

"What’s wrong? Did you get the wrong place? Why the sad face?" he said, even gently pinching Duoduo’s little cheek.

"There’s nobody inside the house," Duoduo said somewhat sadly.

Seeing the way Shen Siyuan leaned down and spoke quietly, Ruan Hongzhuang gripped his arm tighter and half hid behind him, yet she couldn’t suppress her curiosity and peered out.

"Got the wrong place?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised.

Shen Siyuan slightly frowned; it shouldn’t be the case. Lady Huang wouldn’t have given him the wrong address, and neither could the police system’s address be wrong.

"No, Duoduo said the photos inside the house are of her mom and dad," Xiao Yue said from the side.

"Oh, there are pictures? Then it seems we didn’t get the wrong house."

"If it’s not wrong, that’s good. Your parents probably went out, so don’t be sad. We’ll come back later; they will return eventually," Shen Siyuan consoled.

Hearing Shen Siyuan say this, Duoduo was not as sad and slowly nodded.

But behind Shen Siyuan, Ruan Hongzhuang, seeing him turn his head to speak to someone, became even more nervous.

"Siyuan, is there someone else there too?"

Shen Siyuan turned back to see Ruan Hongzhuang looking both nervous and curious.

He withdrew his arm from her embrace and then hugged her tightly to his chest.

"Now that you know my secret, you can’t leave me for the rest of your life."

"I... I didn’t plan to leave you," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

Now she felt both afraid and curious, gazing at Duoduo while thoughts of Shen Siyuan’s magical abilities surfaced in her mind. Could it all be real?

This seemed too incredible, too fantastical. Was he truly someone who practiced immortal cultivation? If so, hadn’t she stumbled upon a treasure?

Thinking this, she wound her arms around Shen Siyuan’s waist and squeezed herself closer into his embrace, her cheeks quickly flushing not with panic anymore, but with a hint of excitement.

"Not scared anymore?" Shen Siyuan gently stroked her back.

"With you here, I’m not afraid of anything," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

It must be said that Ruan Hongzhuang has a strong mentality, adapting quite quickly.

"Since that’s the case, you two make yourselves visible to your sister as well," Shen Siyuan commanded Xiao Yue and Dou Dou.

Then, he watched as their figures slowly materialized under Ruan Hongzhuang’s gaze, appearing clearly once again out of nowhere.

"Hello, Sister."

Xiao Yue greeted and then stayed quiet, due to her naturally cool demeanor because of her past experiences.

"Hehe, Auntie, you see me, right? You see me, right?" Dou Dou said excitedly, waving her little hands and wiggling her bottom with great enthusiasm.

"Huh? Dou Dou?" Ruan Hongzhuang was massively surprised.

She then attempted to step forward, but Shen Siyuan quickly pulled her back into his arms.

"Don’t get too close, her flames might hurt you," Shen Siyuan warned.

Only then did Ruan Hongzhuang realize the flames surging around Dou Dou’s head.
