Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 360: Vision of the Void

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Vision of the Void

Shen Siyuan used the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to descend his consciousness onto Xiao Yue’s soul, and they chatted briefly. During this process, Tang Tang behaved like an obedient little kitten, lying in his arms.

But she couldn’t help but lift her head to look around, seemingly puzzled by how her brother could turn into a sister, or how her sister could turn into a brother.

In short, this question nearly made the little one’s brain boil.

"Siyuan, I didn’t know you had this skill!"

Ruan Hongzhuang was both shocked and delighted as she sized up Xiao Yue.

"It’s just a brief descent onto Xiao Yue, I’ll be back in a bit."

"Is there any danger to Xiao Yue?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked worriedly.

"It’s fine, Xiao Yue is unaffected. Actually, she can hear and see us talking right now, I just shared her vision and hearing..."

"That’s good, you scared me." Ruan Hongzhuang let out a sigh of relief.

"And you say you’re not an immortal, yet you possess such divine skills." Jiang Taoshi said.

After speaking, she looked enviously at Ruan Hongzhuang, thinking how she ended up with such luck. Wasn’t I born with a fortunate appearance? Why isn’t it working?

"Do you want to explain things to Tang Tang? It’s good we’re at home, otherwise tonight’s actions could have had quite an impact." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have Xiao Yue talk to her."

Shen Siyuan never restricted Tang Tang’s abilities, after all, they were her natural gift.

But now it seemed that Tang Tang’s abilities had grown stronger with time.

If not handled well, it could indeed cause problems.

Even though she was under his protection, and the Special Affairs Bureau provided support, it wouldn’t cause significant trouble, but it would definitely affect normal life.

So she instructed Xiao Yue to explain things to Tang Tang in a dream.

Shen Siyuan didn’t stay long, after a brief conversation, he withdrew from Xiao Yue’s consciousness.

Tang Tang, with her extraordinary perception, instantly sat up from her arms the moment Shen Siyuan left Xiao Yue’s body, and asked puzzledly, "Sister?"

Xiao Yue nodded, then looked towards Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Taoshi.

Jiang Taoshi, who had not interacted with Xiao Yue much nor communicated often, was somewhat curiously sizing up Xiao Yue.

Ruan Hongzhuang was also curious: "Xiao Yue, have you been here the whole time?"

Xiao Yue nodded: "Brother asked me to stay and teach Tang Tang how to speak."

Ruan Hongzhuang was curious upon hearing this.

"How do you teach her?"

Not just her, Jiang Taoshi was also curious about this.

Mao Sanmei couldn’t hear and thus wouldn’t notice, but Ruan Hongzhuang and the others clearly knew how quickly Tang Tang was progressing.

If it wasn’t for her inability to hear, she probably would’ve been able to communicate normally by now.

Even so, she could now use some hand gestures for simple communication.

Seeing the curiosity in their eyes, Xiao Yue didn’t hide anything and simply said: "Through dreams."

On hearing this, they both had a sudden realization. She’d been teaching in the dreams.

Dreams weren’t affected by the ability to hear, no wonder Tang Tang had improved so rapidly.

"What does it feel like to enter into a dream? Why hasn’t Dou Dou ever entered my dreams?" Jiang Taoshi said with dissatisfaction.

She decided to have a serious talk with Dou Dou when she returned.

"Brother doesn’t allow us to enter others’ dreams casually," Xiao Yue explained.

"Eh? Why is that?" Jiang Taoshi was confused.

"Because brother said that other people’s minds are like Hell," Xiao Yue said.

Ruan Hongzhuang and the others suddenly understood; they were adults and deeply resonated with that statement. Even they sometimes had dreams too embarrassing to discuss; being seen in such a state by others could lead to utter humiliation.

"Siyuan can also enter dreams?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked suddenly.

Xiao Yue shook her head: "Brother says only ghosts can do that."

Ruan Hongzhuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Jiang Taoshi: →_→

"What are you doing?"

"Are you often having shameful dreams and feeling guilty about it?"

"No way, don’t talk nonsense, I’m not that kind of person..." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Oh~, oh~"

"Oh~, oh~, hanhanhan..."

Tang Tang imitated Taozi’s demeanor.

At this, Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but start laughing herself.

-----------------

Jiang Taoshi touched her stomach, quietly opened the refrigerator, peered inside, and eventually closed it again with a disappointed expression.

She had only had a bowl of porridge that evening and was awakened by hunger in the middle of the night. She wanted to find something to eat but found nothing in the refrigerator.

Just as she turned around to go back to sleep, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure on the balcony.

The weather was good tonight, the moonlight was clear as water, making the balcony clearly visible.

Jiang Taoshi thought for a moment and then walked over.

"Xiao Yue, why are you sitting here alone?" Jiang Taoshi asked softly.

Xiao Yue glanced at her but didn’t answer.

Jiang Taoshi didn’t mind and sat down opposite her, continuing, "Weren’t you going to enter Tang Tang’s dreams and guide her?"

"There’s still time, no rush."

Xiao Yue finally spoke, her voice as cold as ever.

"How old are you this year, Xiao Yue?" Jiang Taoshi asked curiously.

Xiao Yue’s gaze moved toward her.

Jiang Taoshi quickly explained with a smile, "I mean, how old were you when you died?"

"Thirteen, and still thirteen this year," Xiao Yue said.

Jiang Taoshi showed a look of realization.

"So you’re just starting middle school this year. How did you die? Illness?" Jiang Taoshi asked curiously.

Xiao Yue looked away, uninterested in engaging with her.

"Hehe, did I say something wrong? Actually, I’m quite envious of you," Jiang Taoshi said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue returned her gaze with a slightly surprised look at her.

"Even though you died and couldn’t enjoy a splendid life, I think, now, you are truly free. You can become visible at will, you don’t have to care about others’ opinions, you can soar freely in the sky, and yes, you can even enter dreams..."

Jiang Taoshi counted with her fingers, seemingly full of yearning.

Xiao Yue thought about it, feeling as if perhaps it was really like that.

But upon further reflection, she realized that all this was because of her encounter with Shen Siyuan. Without Shen Siyuan, she wouldn’t have known where she would be wandering, and her ultimate end would probably be to choose to disperse and return to nature.

"You could do it too, if you want," Xiao Yue said.

"Really? How can I do that?" Jiang Taoshi asked excitedly upon hearing this.

Xiao Yue turned her gaze toward the exterior of the balcony.

Jiang Taoshi: ...

"Hehe, maybe not, I’m going to sleep," said Jiang Taoshi, standing up with a dry laugh.

Watching her rush back to her room, Xiao Yue’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Then she also got up and went to Tang Tang’s room.

At this point, Mao Sanmei had already gone to bed, while Tang Tang was sleeping sweetly like an upturned little turtle, arms held high.

Xiao Yue didn’t dally and expertly entered Tang Tang’s dream.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan was also awake; he was looking up into the void because he vaguely seemed to see a huge net in the expanse.

This involuntarily reminded Shen Siyuan of the strange vision he had seen through Tang Tang’s eyes that day.

But why would it suddenly be like this?
