Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Dou Dou the Second

Dou Dou and Sister Mei Qi had just entered the community.

They were promptly greeted by Duoduo and Le Yao face-to-face.

Shen Siyuan did not keep her, nor did he directly capture her into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

It had been a while since she saw Duoduo, so naturally, the two needed a good catch-up.

It’s just that she was asked to come over again on Saturday. As for Duoduo, she was free to go wherever she wanted, since her task for today was perfectly accomplished.

"Sister Duoduo."

Dou Dou was somewhat surprised to see Duoduo, calling out to her before her gaze moved upward to the still somber-faced Le Yao next to her, quickly understanding the situation.

"Sister Duoduo, you’ve completed the task, haven’t you?"

Duoduo covered her mouth with her little hand, her eyes squinting with joy.

"Brother said I’m the first one."

"What?" Dou Dou widened her eyes upon hearing this, thinking she had heard wrong.

"Brother said I’m the first, hehehe..." Duoduo laughed heartily.

Had she not mentioned it, Dou Dou wouldn’t have been bothered, but now she felt rushed.

"Why... why didn’t you wait for me..."

"Because you dawdled and even went off to play a while ago," Sun Mei Qi interjected from the side.

Hearing this, Dou Dou became anxious and pulled Sun Mei Qi to run off.

"See you, sister."

Dou Dou was too fast, and the already lightweight Sun Mei Qi was lifted off her feet.

Although Dou Dou couldn’t fly with someone, running with someone was no problem at all.

Duoduo laughed out loud because this action was just like something from the Tom and Jerry show.

Le Yao was so shocked that she was dumbfounded until they vanished from sight, then she turned to Duoduo to ask.

"She calls you sister, do you know her?"

"Mhm, that’s Dou Dou, we’re both protectors for Potato, but I am the first one," Duoduo proudly said.

A protector that young, could that be reliable? Looking down at Duoduo again, she seemed okay.

"Potato... Potato..."

Even with the exhaust fan on, Shen Siyuan could still hear Dou Dou’s shouts.

He was cooking dinner because he had been practicing the Great Arhat Eighteen Forms at home earlier in the afternoon, which left him greatly depleted and ravenously hungry. The high-calorie food he had stored at home was all consumed, and still feeling it was not enough, he went to the supermarket to buy stuff and just happened to run into Duoduo.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan was frying steak, which is low in fat, satiating, and not low in energy.

Of course, the main point was its simplicity. His small apartment had simple kitchen equipment; stir-frying with high heat and lots of oil was unrealistic.

So if he wanted to eat meat, the simplest way was to fry steak.

Because he often fried them, Shen Siyuan’s cooking skills were quite good. The steak was charred on the outside and tender inside, not too raw that blood was visible, nor was it too tough to chew.

Shen Siyuan took the steak out of the pan, placed it on a plate, only to see Dou Dou pulling a young girl along as she rushed in.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Sister Duoduo, Sister Duoduo is the first? Why is she the first? Can I be the first..."

She asked anxiously, so agitated she stomped her feet on the spot.

"Because she is the first one to return," Shen Siyuan placed the plate on the table.

"Then between her and me... Eh, what’s this?"

She immediately leaned over the edge of the table, reaching out and stretching her neck to peek.

She was feigning ignorance, for she couldn’t possibly not recognize steak. Shen Siyuan had even heard Jiang Wenxin mention before that this little one liked eating meat, especially steak, and every time she ate too much, they were worried she wouldn’t digest it well.

So, Shen Siyuan said, "Oh, these are potato pancakes."

"You’re lying, this is steak," Dou Dou retorted in a huff.

"Knowing it, yet you ask," said Shen Siyuan, not so pleasantly.

Then Dou Dou turned around and directly pulled Sun Mei Qi over.

"Sister, I’ll treat you to steak," she declared generously.

Shen Siyuan: ...

This is my steak, I haven’t even started eating it yet.

After following Dou Dou into the house, Sun Meiqi, who had been quiet until now, also started feeling a bit embarrassed because of Dou Dou.

She shyly greeted Shen Siyuan, "Hello, brother."

"Hello, what’s your name?"

"My name is Sun Meiqi."

Dou Dou, realizing what was happening, hurriedly stepped between them, waving her small hands, "No, no..."

"What’s not okay?"

"You can’t get to know each other before I’ve introduced you," said Dou Dou.

Shen Siyuan: ...

Sun Meiqi whispered quietly, "Silly girl."

"Then go ahead and introduce us."

So Dou Dou pointed at Sun Meiqi, and said earnestly, "This is my good friend Sister Mei Qi, her name is Sun Meiqi."

Then she pointed at Shen Siyuan and said, "This is my Potato, his name is... his name is... um, Potato, what’s your name?"

Dou Dou looked up with a puzzled face.

Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but reach out and knock her little head.

Immediately, the little one covered her head with both hands.

Sun Meiqi, on the other hand, looked at Shen Siyuan’s hand in surprise, amazed that he could not only see them and talk to them but even manage to physically hit a ghost.

"You haven’t told me your name yet?" Dou Dou asked with an aggrieved face.

Shen Siyuan was both annoyed and amused but realized it wasn’t weird considering that she could barely remember her own name.

"My name is Shen Siyuan, remember that," Shen Siyuan said.

Dou Dou nodded her head, then said very cutely and seriously, "My name is... my name is... Tao... Tao Hongdou, Potato you have to remember that too, okay?"

"Got it."

Shen Siyuan patted her little head.

This little one can be so annoying at times that it makes you furious, but at other times, she’s so cute that she can make you sick of it.

Sometimes, Shen Siyuan even thought about not sending her back and keeping her for himself.

In the end, Shen Siyuan still gave the steak to Dou Dou first to entertain her good friend.

Food that has been consumed by a ghost’s Eat Qi tastes less fragrant than before, and the texture isn’t much affected, so most people might not even notice it.

But Shen Siyuan was not most people; he could clearly feel the taste becoming worse. To describe it with a specific term, it’s as if this dish had lost its soul.

"How did you die?"

Shen Siyuan asked the little girl sitting opposite him while eating his steak.

"I got sick." Sun Meiqi said.

Shen Siyuan was not surprised; at her age, most girls’ deaths are due to illnesses rather than disasters or accidents.

"Do you need my help with anything?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Sun Meiqi shook her head.

Shen Siyuan was a bit astonished and turned his gaze towards Dou Dou, who seemed to have a nail under her butt, rocking back and forth non-stop.

"Didn’t she explain it to you clearly?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Dou Dou said you could help me fulfill my wish," Sun Meiqi said.

It turns out Dou Dou had explained it to her clearly.

"But I don’t have any wish that I want brother to help with; I was just curious about Potato that Dou Dou mentioned was very powerful, I wanted to see for myself," Sun Meiqi said.

"Now you’ve seen me?"

Shen Siyuan looked at her and smiled.

This little girl wasn’t telling the truth; if she truly had no regrets or wishes left to be fulfilled, she would have already dissipated into the cosmos, not lingering in the Mortal World.

Dou Dou suddenly said from the side, "Sister Mei Qi doesn’t like her brother, Potato, can you make her brother disappear?"

Shen Siyuan: ...
