Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 265: Special Tang Tang

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Special Tang Tang

Not only Tang Tang was panicked.

Xiao Yue and Dou Dou were as well.

Others couldn’t see the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but as Banner Spirits, its shadowy projection was clearly visible to them.

Even as Banner Spirits, they were startled.

Dou Dou directly clambered onto Shen Siyuan’s back, while Xiao Yue also sat close to him.

As for Duoduo, who was far away with her parents, she immediately opened an umbrella, hid underneath it, and then poked her head out, peering into the sky.

Of course, there was also Zhao Xuerong, who had not returned to the Banner.

She too looked up at the sky with a face full of fright.

Shen Siyuan reached out to put his arm around Tang Tang’s shoulders, softly comforting, "Don’t be scared."

His words were meant for Tang Tang, but also for the others.

As the Banner Master, his voice resonated in the hearts of the few Banner Spirits. His voice seemed to have the power to soothe and calm souls, settling their hearts.

Just then, while being embraced by Shen Siyuan, Tang Tang pouted her lips and blew twice into the air.

Because of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner’s projection, Shen Siyuan felt the presence of the wind more clearly than ever.

The moment she blew, a breeze picked up out of nowhere. Like sprites, they circled around Tang Tang and eventually flew towards the sky, heading for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner’s projection.

And as they rose higher, the breeze grew stronger. When it reached the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it seemed to want to sway the banner’s fabric.

Unfortunately, it was just a projection. After several attempts from left to right, which failed, they could only circle around the banner’s pole as if trying to glimpse the full view of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner through this method.

"Don’t be so curious."

Shen Siyuan tapped Tang Tang’s little head with his hand.

"han...han..."

Tang Tang covered her head, giving Shen Siyuan a silly smile.

At that moment, the projection of the Fan Spirits in the sky swiftly shrank, eventually returning back into Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness. The world instantly regained its calm as if nothing had happened.

This time, not only were ordinary people unaware, but even the Bloodline Inheritors in Bin Hai failed to notice the shadowy projection of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner that Shen Siyuan had summoned.

Tang Tang was the only one, not a Fan Soul, yet could sense the existence of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. This fact alone demonstrated Tang Tang’s uniqueness, and Shen Siyuan grew even more curious about her mysterious origins.

She was either the reincarnation of a great being or she came from an extraordinary bloodline lineage. Other than these two possibilities, her special nature was inexplicable.

Shen Siyuan’s summoning of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner’s projection was swift, merely a fleeting moment.

But in that brief moment, it had devoured that instance’s world of shadows.

When the sunlight shines, all things cast shadows, which, although illusory, are imprints of the physical form.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner uses this method to project the real world into the Banner, replicating an identical world. This is Landscaping.

However, Shen Siyuan’s ability was limited, and with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner being damaged, the range of the replication was only centered around Rainbow House, spanning tens of kilometers.

This range may seem exaggerated, but at its peak, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner could project the entire world within itself.

Of course, the projection is restricted to plants, objects, and buildings, without any people or animals. Thus, there’s no need to worry about another Tang Tang appearing within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

It’s not that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner couldn’t do it, but rather that the shadows of living beings are connected to their souls. If their shadows were taken away, it would be tantamount to removing their souls, which would cause major problems.

After all, Shen Siyuan is not the Jiuyou Demon Lord who, in a fit of rage, could capture the souls of an entire city, turning it into a city of death.

As the projection of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner returned to Shen Siyuan, the wind that had arisen in the sky also fell back down, swirling around the yard before slowly dissipating.

At this moment, within a "Beehive" space of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, a revolutionary change occurred. A desolate space suddenly had numerous buildings appear out of thin air, like a miniature city.

Yet it was eerily silent, void of any living creatures, and there was no sun, but it wasn’t dark. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner itself emitted light, so the entire city was bathed in a faint blue glow.

At a glance, it seemed akin to the legendary Underworld.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue and Ruan Hongzhuang walked out of the house.

Following them were Xiao Xue, Xia Wenbing, and the couple Xu Liangyou.

Upon seeing Shen Siyuan with his arm around Tang Tang’s shoulder, and Tang Tang’s little head resting on Shen Siyuan’s lap, Jiang Yingxue said with a smile, "Xiao Shen really likes Tang Tang a lot."

Hongzhuang added, "Yes, if it weren’t for the adoption requirements not being met, he would already be planning to adopt Tang Tang."

"Adopt Tang Tang?" Jiang Yingxue was a bit surprised when she heard this.

She could understand Shen Siyuan liking children, but at his age, thinking of adopting a child seemed a bit excessive.

Ruan Hongzhuang leaned close to Jiang Yingxue’s ear and whispered, "Si Yuan said that Tang Tang is a very special child."

"Special? Are you sure it’s not ’extra-special’?" Jiang Yingxue showed a surprised look upon hearing this.

You know, there’s a difference between special and unique.

"It’s special, I didn’t ask for details, but from what he said, it seems like Tang Tang might be someone like him."

"Eh?"

Jiang Yingxue widened her eyes, her gaze landing on Tang Tang’s back as she examined her closely, her face revealing a pensive look.

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

"How would I know? If you really want to find out, you could just ask Si Yuan directly," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"That’s true." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue didn’t continue to dwell on this issue.

At this moment, Xiao Xue, who had been following behind them, suddenly hurried a few steps past them to catch up with Shen Siyuan.

"Uncle~"

Seeing that Shen Siyuan hadn’t left, she called out to him happily in a soft voice.

Shen Siyuan turned around and asked with a smile, "Have you got everything settled?"

"Mhm." Xiao Xue happily nodded.

"I have my own bed, and there’s a blanket, a pillow, and new clothes..." Xiao Xue said joyfully.

In fact, it wasn’t just these things; there were also shoes, towels, washbasins, dishes, cups, and even toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Every new child that arrived, except for those held in arms, would receive a set of daily necessities, and Tang Tang had been the same when she first came.

"That’s good, you’ll stay here from now on. There are quite a few kids your age here. In a few days, Grandpa Xu will get you enrolled in school. You’ll have to study hard..."

Shen Siyuan continued speaking as he stood up.

The Grandpa Xu he mentioned naturally referred to Xu Liangyou. The kids at Rainbow House called him and Yu Guilan, Grandpa Xu and Grandma Yu.

"Uncle, are you leaving?" Xiao Xue asked, feeling somewhat sad.

Shen Siyuan’s departure gave her the feeling of being abandoned once again.

Shen Siyuan nodded, "I’ll come to see you when I have time."

Ruan Hongzhuang also chimed in, "We need to work on weekdays, so we can’t always be with you. We’ll come to see you when we’re off work."

"I understand, adults have to work." Xiao Xue nodded understandingly.

At this time, a caretaker came over to inform them that the bathwater was ready, ready to take the two kids to bathe.

Not only did they need a bath, but their dirty clothes also had to be changed, and besides that, their hair needed to be cut, and personal hygiene had to be maintained.

And that wasn’t all; Xu Liangyou also had to take them for a check-up, not only to examine their physical health but also to check for any communicable diseases. He had to be responsible not only for the two children but also for the other kids.

Additionally, there were some vaccinations they hadn’t received yet that needed to be updated. Overall, it was quite a hassle. It wasn’t as simple as just providing a bowl of food to eat and a bed to sleep on.

"Goodbye now."

Shen Siyuan waved to Tang Tang, who was being held in Yu Guilan’s arms.

Tang Tang waved her little hand in response. She did not look upset and was still smiling goofily with drool dampening her bib, looking both silly and adorable.

Then Shen Siyuan reached out to pat Xiao Xue’s head and said: "I’ll come to see you when I have time."

"Okay." Xiao Xue responded softly.

Shen Siyuan then turned to Xia Wenbing, who was standing at the side, and instructed him, "Take good care of your sister."

Xia Wenbing nodded.

At this point, the two little ones had been cleaned up and changed into new clothes.

Wei Qiulan, Xiao Xue’s mother, did not leave with Shen Siyuan, and Shen Siyuan did not receive any merit.

It seemed that her wish was not fully fulfilled; she probably wanted to stay and watch over Xiao Xue’s future life.

Shen Siyuan didn’t mind her, getting in the car with Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Yingxue to leave.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

"Are you trying to blow up the car by blowing air again?" Yu Guilan looked at Tang Tang in her arms and laughed.

"han... han... han..."

Jiang Yingxue glanced through the rearview mirror and suddenly asked, "Xiao Shen, do you really like that little girl named Tang Tang?"
