Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 331: Exceptionally Gifted

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Exceptionally Gifted

Xiao Yue, Duoduo, and Dou Dou did not go home last night but entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Since Shen Siyuan used the Landscaping Technique to establish a small world inside the banner, staying inside the banner was even more carefree and comfortable than in reality.

Because Shen Siyuan completely controlled the rules inside the banner, they could truly be themselves inside.

The night passed without words, and the next day both Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang got up early, standing on the balcony facing the sea and began to practice their morning exercise slowly.

Shen Siyuan was not an unrestrained person. Besides, if it was necessary to engage in intimate activities every day, given his current physique, Ruan Hongzhuang surely couldn’t handle it and would eventually succumb.

If one were to lose their life over such things, it would probably make people laugh to death.

Thus, the two went to bed early last night and got up early this morning, with Shen Siyuan pulling Ruan Hongzhuang to exercise together.

In the past two days, because of Tang Tang, Ruan Hongzhuang grasped a bit of the rhythm of "Embrace the Wind and Sleep", and now her movements were flowing like water, truly as if embracing the wind in her arms, light and graceful, seemingly ready to rise with the wind anytime.

Shen Siyuan, naturally, was not practicing "Embrace the Wind and Sleep". This cultivation technique was rather useless to him, so he continued practicing "Great Arhat Eighteen Forms."

But you could see him twisting into a strange pose, feeling as if his body was tearing apart. His tendons and muscles seemed alive and kept wriggling, which was horrifying to watch, but Shen Siyuan remained calm and steady throughout. However, his sweat flowed like raindrops, showing how physically demanding and challenging to the will these movements were.

While the two were exercising, Tang Tang also woke up very early this morning.

The reason she woke up so early was that she drank too much last night, with milk and juice, and even a lot of cold plain water, leading her to be awakened by the need to urinate before dawn.

Though young, the little one had already stopped wetting the bed, because she had been disciplined not to.

After getting up to urinate, she found herself unable to fall back asleep and tossed and turned in bed, so Mao Sanmei simply helped her get dressed and get up.

Lifting her head to look outside the window, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

"Oh~"

She voiced an "oh" to Mao Sanmei, seemingly indicating that it was still very early.

Mao Sanmei read her lip shape, but didn’t understand what she was saying, and just lovingly patted her head, continuing to help her get dressed.

Actually, she could dress herself, but since Mao Sanmei insisted on helping, she just let her do it, saving herself the trouble of dressing.

Once Tang Tang was dressed, she promptly jumped down from the bed.

"Ah~ah~"

Mao Sanmei wanted to call her to stop, but she had already dashed toward the door.

When she reached the full-length mirror by the door, she suddenly stopped, twisting in front of the mirror.

Then, she grinned at the mirror, showing two rows of tiny teeth.

"Ah~"

She opened her mouth wide at the mirror, and the her in the mirror did the same.

"han~han~"

She reached out with her little finger to poke at her own mouth in the mirror.

"Ahwoo~"

She quickly closed her mouth, and so did her reflection in the mirror. She hurriedly pulled her finger back, carefully inspecting whether it got bitten or not.

Seeing that her reflection hadn’t bitten her finger, she happily made "hanhan" sounds.

Mao Sanmei, who had already come over, didn’t disturb her and quietly watched her playing with her reflection.

After playing with her reflection for a while, Tang Tang turned and ran outside again.

Coming to the door, she followed the path and ran straight to the living room.

Her little bottom wiggled as she ran, like a little duck. Despite her short legs, Mao Sanmei couldn’t catch up with her right away.

By the time she arrived at the living room, she immediately saw two people exercising on the balcony.

So the little one immediately scampered over. As she passed the sofa, she suddenly saw the big bad bear Shen Siyuan had given her, so she ran over, grabbed one of its legs, and carried it to the balcony.

"han~"

She circled around the two people who were exercising. Mao Sanmei wanted to pull her back but was worried about disturbing Shen Siyuan and his companion, so she could only stand in place hesitating.

After circling around for a bit, Tang Tang stopped opposite Ruan Hongzhuang.

Curiously watching Ruan Hongzhuang’s movements, which slightly resembled Tai Chi, and looked very graceful.

Tang Tang threw the big bad bear she was holding onto the ground, then spread her legs apart and imitated Ruan Hongzhuang’s movements.

A horizontal move, then a vertical one, a rise and then a fall, hmm... quite talented, resembling Ultraman fighting monsters.

The previously tranquil Ruan Hongzhuang could no longer hold it and burst out laughing, helplessly having to stop her exercise.

"Do you want to learn? I can teach you," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

She had previously asked Shen Siyuan, and Shen Siyuan mentioned that "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" wasn’t a secret not to be shared, and she could teach anyone interested.

Thus, not only did she know how to perform it, but she had also taught Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue.

They thought that since Shen Siyuan had taught it, it must be something valuable, so they practiced very diligently, but the more they did, the more they lagged.

Of course, currently, the only one who had made some achievements in "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" was Ruan Hongzhuang, and that was because Shen Siyuan, with the experience of the Jiuyou Demon Lord, had reinterpreted it and taught her hands-on.

"Your feet should be like this, hands raised, don’t lower your head, look straight ahead..."

Seeing Ruan Hongzhuang teaching Tang Tang, Mao Sanmei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go prepare breakfast in the kitchen.

"Relax your body, don’t tense up..."

"han~han~han~"

Although Tang Tang didn’t understand what Ruan Hongzhuang was saying, she felt it seemed to be a lot of fun.

The movements of "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" were not complicated. What was complex was the philosophy behind each movement; every gesture and stance needed to match one’s state of mind and resonate with nature.

This was also the barrier for Dou Dou and Duoduo; they could only imitate without gaining anything.

It was the same for Tang Tang; she waved her hands, kicked her legs, merely treating it as a game and of course, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t bother explaining the essence of the moves to her.

Then a breeze formed around Tang Tang’s body, like naughty spirits, it followed her legs, wrapped around her waist, then meandered up along her arms to her fingertips.

In Tang Tang’s eyes, the wind seemed not to be shapeless, but with form, so she forgot about "Embrace the Wind and Sleep", forgot the moves, and just played with the wind.

However, her movements didn’t stop, but gradually turned nonsensical.

A slight breeze initially rolling around Tang Tang’s body progressively grew larger, eventually startling Shen Siyuan, immersed in meditation, and causing him to break out of his state.

"Is she... what is she doing?" Ruan Hongzhuang was somewhat dumbfounded.

Although she didn’t understand, she wasn’t foolish, and she recognized that Tang Tang seemed to have an extraordinary talent in "Embrace the Wind and Sleep".

"Effort really is worth nothing in the face of talent..." Shen Siyuan sighed.

At the same time, he inwardly lamented; if Qingyun hadn’t died and had not chosen to return to nature, seeing this scene would surely have thrilled him, greatly reassured that Tingfeng Temple had a successor.

Tang Tang was simply the perfect inheritor for Tingfeng Temple.
