Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 339: The Answer of the Wind

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: The Answer of the Wind

Shen Siyuan did not choose adults as the main souls for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner because adults have complicated minds. Even if they are restricted by the rules of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and cannot harm Shen Siyuan,

they are not mindless puppets and still have their own thoughts.

The human mind is elusive, and Shen Siyuan, in his twenties, lacks extensive life experience and is not a genius.

Though he, as the Banner Master, can control any person, he would inevitably be influenced by their thoughts.

This is similar to ancient emperors who, despite their absolute decrees, were still influenced by scholars and warriors through various actions and thoughts.

Shen Siyuan is someone with a particularly clear self-awareness. From the beginning, he sought to avoid such influences by using a few mischievous kids as the main souls. Although they were not much help to him, they definitely did not impact him significantly, allowing him to maintain his self-integrity.

Furthermore, the pure hearts of children nourish him in return. ’Returning to simplicity and truth’ refers to the genuineness of children, who are closest to the natural state of the world.

These were experiences gained during the cultivation period of the Jiuyou Demon Lord.

What is a Demon? A Demon acts according to personal desires, unbound by morality or natural restrictions — a state similar to that of children, displaying a unique parallel.

There is a saying that the greatest evil in the world is ignorance.

If a child possessed power and completely lacked control, they might destroy the entire world, becoming the ultimate Demon.

But whether angels or devils, the nature of a child embodies truth.

Currently, Shen Siyuan’s state is such; nourished spiritually by Dou Dou and Duoduo.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight rose from the sea, Shen Siyuan awakened from his "deep slumber."

Looking around, he noticed a thin layer of sand on the road in front of him, brought by the sea. Besides, the trees in the forest behind him all leaned slightly in one direction.

This happened because last night his mind became more vibrant, activating his Primordial Magnetic energy within, which generated a strong pull, dragging the waves across the road to his feet and causing the trees in the forest behind to lean similarly.

While the seawater could recede, the forest did not return to its original state, thus creating a unique slanted landscape.

However, Shen Siyuan paid no attention to these changes and instead stood up, faced the sunrise, and stretched lazily, his joints cracking like firecrackers.

Then he continued on his way, hands behind his back.

During this time, he released Duoduo and Dou Dou from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"yoohoo~"

Dou Dou danced in the air, cheering.

"Hello, Sun..."

"Good morning, Sea..."

"Uncle Tree, don’t sleep anymore..."

"Hahaha..."

She seemed forever carefree and happy.

Meanwhile, Duoduo was much quieter. Sometimes, she perched on treetops, carefully observing a leaf; other times, she stopped by the roadside, looking at a blade of grass; occasionally, she flew high into the clouds...

This was a spiritual cultivation.

At the same time, Tang Tang had also gotten up, dressed with her mother’s help, and then rushed out of her room eagerly.

Dragging along her big bad bear, she first looked around the living room, didn’t see anyone, ran to the balcony, searched from end to end, and even carefully inspected under the table with her bottom up, but still couldn’t find the person she was looking for.

Tang Tang couldn’t help feeling disappointed and puzzled, scratching her head, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

But she saw her mother busy making breakfast, still without the figure she hoped to see.

"Little birdie sparrow that big watermelon, thunder and rain bring out the sun, dogs riding pigs running, donkey tails have fur..."

She rambled on in frustration, trash-talking, but not in a vulgar way.

These were all newly learned phrases by her, just randomly strung together and spoken, somewhat like a discontented hum, without any special meaning.

However, it was quite funny, but Mao Sanmei couldn’t hear and naturally didn’t know what she was saying.

After being angry for a while, she seemed to think of something, ran to the master bedroom door, did not knock, and just sat down on the ground, holding a big bad bear and quietly waiting.

Mao Sanmei was startled at first, thought Tang Tang was going to knock on the door, and worried that she would disturb Ruan Hongzhuang.

But then, seeing her sitting quietly at the door, Mao Sanmei just let her be.

Ruan Hongzhuang got up a bit late in the morning, mainly because Jiang Wenxin had hosted her and Jiang Yingxue last night, they chatted for a long time, and drank some red wine, so she slept until bright daylight.

When she woke up and came out of her room, she was startled by Tang Tang.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ruan Hongzhuang, somewhat surprised.

Tang Tang didn’t answer, but looked doubtfully behind her, seeing no one come out, she leaned into the door to peep inside.

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

At this point, how could she not know what Tang Tang was looking for.

"Brother’s not here, he went out..."

Ruan Hongzhuang picked her up, went to the balcony, and pointed outside of the community.

"Oh~ oh~"

Tang Tang, held in Ruan Hongzhuang’s arms, like a little carp, continually pushed her little tummy out, making oh oh sounds, seemingly inquiring.

Seeing that Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t seem to understand her intent, in a hurry, she started spouting gibberish again.

"Sharks in the sky, Tang Tang riding a big tiger, roast meat, jar sand sugar..."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

What’s all this, the language system is messed up?

Seeing she had said a lot but Ruan Hongzhuang still didn’t understand, Tang Tang immediately struggled to get down.

So Ruan Hongzhuang put her down.

Then, Tang Tang looked up towards the sky.

"Hu~ Hu~ Hu~"

Then a gust of wind was summoned from far off the sea, blowing the waves high, sweeping treetops on the shore, skimming past pedestrians on the roadside, whirling through the long walkway, and curling towards the sky, finally following the sound to arrive in front of Tang Tang.

The originally violent wind, at this moment, became gentle like a cat, circling around Tang Tang, "carefully" lifting the edge of her clothes, softly sweeping across her hair ends.

"Han~ han~"

Tang Tang, as if a cat nuzzled her neck, tilted her little head and showed a simple smile.

Her hand passed through the void, and the wind gently traced her fingertips.

"Oh~"

Tang Tang pointed outside the community, the wind, as if taking orders, whooshed towards the void, then raced away outside the community, and more and more winds joined, eventually forming a continuous gust, that made the trees in the entire community rustle loudly.

"Han~"

Seeing this, Tang Tang displayed a simple smile.

The wind will soon help her find the person she wanted to see.

Ruan Hongzhuang witnessed all this by her side, although she already knew Tang Tang was extraordinary, seemingly possessing the ability of Wind Control, seeing this scene still left her immensely shocked.

PS: That’s it, I’m useless, I’m going for a check-up tomorrow morning o(╥﹏╥)o
