Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Peers

Shen Siyuan swept his hand over a pile of items, and everything instantly vanished, leaving only an empty space as if there had never been anything there.

Huang Yuntao’s eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide as he swallowed a gulp of saliva.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

"Let’s go."

Shen Siyuan called out to Duoduo and Dou Dou.

Huang Yuntao had caught a crayfish for each of them in the stream; they tied them up with a wild grass, holding them in their hands.

Hearing Shen Siyuan’s call, they immediately followed him with short, hurried steps.

Seeing this, Huang Yuntao hurriedly followed suit.

He glanced at Shen Siyuan who was striding ahead without a word, and then at the two little ones trotting behind him, swaying and playfully chasing each other, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of harmony.

"My crayfish is bigger than yours, it’s a big crayfish," Dou Dou dragged her crayfish, treating it like a pet.

"Brother Yuntao said these are all small crayfish," Duoduo retorted unconvinced.

"Still, it’s a bigger small crayfish than yours."

"What’s the use of being big?" Duoduo said.

"Ah, right, right, being big is useless," Dou Dou said.

Duoduo: (°ー°〃)

Duoduo was stunned. Was this the Dou Dou she knew? Was she always this obedient?

Sure enough, Dou Dou then said, "You’re bigger than me, hehe→_→."

Duoduo:

"Are you saying I’m useless?" Duoduo said.

"I didn’t say that, you said it yourself," Dou Dou said with self-satisfaction.

"Brother is also bigger than us; you’re saying Brother is useless," Duoduo said with a mischievous smile.

"No, no, I didn’t..." Dou Dou panicked at her words.

Duoduo didn’t care, she took her short steps and chased after Shen Siyuan.

"Brother... Brother... Dou Dou says you’re useless," Duoduo shouted loudly.

"I didn’t, you bad egg, I’m going to duel you," Dou Dou said angrily.

"Lulululu, catch me if you can," Duoduo turned back, sticking out her tongue at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou was so annoyed, she even threw her pet crayfish to the ground, then disappeared from sight, turning into a Yin Wind that pounced towards Duoduo.

Seeing this, Duoduo also quickly made her body vanish, turning into a Yin Wind that soared into the sky, and the crayfish that had been hanging in her hand naturally fell to the ground.

Huang Yuntao, who had caught up from behind, gaped at the scene in surprise and eventually bent over silently, picking up the two crayfish and carrying them in his hands, chasing after Shen Siyuan.

"They..."

"Don’t worry about them," Shen Siyuan said.

Was I planning to worry about them? I’m just curious about their identities and abilities.

However, thinking of the previous agreements with Shen Siyuan, he closed his mouth and silently followed Shen Siyuan’s footsteps.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan was simply focused on moving forward without speaking, Huang Yuntao felt it wasn’t appropriate to speak either, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive. Eventually, he decided to take out his earphones, put them on, and played some music, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Even though he was listening to music, he couldn’t stop pondering Shen Siyuan’s and the two little ones’ identities and abilities.

Immortal Fate, this must be the legendary Immortal Fate.

The technique used before must be similar to the Taoist Sleeve Universe or the Buddhist Nasumi into Mustard Seed Technique.

He did not think it was any kind of Magical Treasure like a Storage Bag or storage ring because he had noticed that Shen Siyuan’s hands were empty, and there were no adornments on his arms either.

So, he guessed it must be some kind of Spell, and someone who knows such a Spell must be much more formidable than someone who possesses such Magical Treasure.

Initially, he thought Duoduo and Dou Dou were ghosts, but now he tended to agree with the idea of them being Guardian Children of Shen Siyuan; they could walk in the sunlight, and disappear and control the wind. How could they be ghosts? They were clearly divine beings.

And as for their master, what kind of status must he hold.

Thinking of this, Huang Yuntao’s heart surged with an indescribable excitement once again.

He sounded good when he said what was his couldn’t run away and what wasn’t his couldn’t be forced, but that was when he was hungry. Now that his stomach was full, his thoughts naturally changed.

This was the Immortal Fate that so many Emperors and Generals, officials, and nobles sought but could not obtain. How could he give it up so easily?

He must catch it, he absolutely must, and then...

While he was lost in his ambitions and feeling unable to contain his excitement, grinning to himself, suddenly a little head poked over from the side.

"What are you smiling about?"

"wow~"

Huang Yuntao got startled and hopped to the side, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.

But once he saw it was Dou Dou, he realized what happened.

"That scared me to death," Huang Yuntao said, clutching his chest.

"Scared to death?"

Dou Dou rotated her little head, looking left and right with some confusion as she asked, "What scared you?"

Then she noticed Huang Yuntao’s gaze.

She pointed at herself in great surprise.

"You mean I scared you? You’re saying me? Hmph, that’s impossible, I’m so cute, how could I scare anyone?" Dou Dou said indignantly.

"You appeared suddenly, that scared me," Huang Yuntao said.

"Wow, you’re really a scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat."

Huang Yuntao: ...

So it’s my fault now?

However, Huang Yuntao didn’t bother to argue with her about it and instead asked, "Where’s Duoduo?"

Dou Dou pointed ahead, and only then did Huang Yuntao notice that Duoduo was following behind Brother Shen at some point.

"Did you catch her?"

As Huang Yuntao spoke, he handed over the crawfish he was holding to her.

"Fire-breathing Dragon, did you miss me?"

"This is a crawfish, not a dragon."

"Its name is Fire-breathing Dragon."

Huang Yuntao: ...

He felt a bit unable to follow the child’s leaping logic.

"But it doesn’t breathe fire."

"Its body is red; there’s fire inside it, just not spitting out."

"That makes so much sense."

"Hehe..."

"You’re so amazing, were you invisible just now? And that wind, did you create it?" Huang Yuntao asked with some curiosity.

Dou Dou: →_→

"Did I say something wrong?" Huang Yuntao cautiously probed.

"My dad said when someone asks me these questions, they’re definitely not a good person, they’re a big baddie, so you’re the big baddie. I won’t talk to you anymore..." Dou Dou said as she clutched the "Fire-breathing Dragon" and chased after Duoduo and Shen Siyuan.

Seeing this, Huang Yuntao regretted not keeping his mouth shut; Dou Dou might be small, but is she an ordinary child?

So he hurriedly chased after her to apologize.

"I won’t talk to a big baddie."

Dou Dou indicated she was very smart, and you can’t fool a child so easily.

Huang Yuntao thought it over, took off his backpack, rummaged through it, and pulled out a bar of chocolate.

Alone in the wilderness, he naturally carried high-calorie foods in his backpack, such as glucose biscuits, compressed biscuits, beef jerky, and so on.

He wasn’t short on money, so the provisions he prepared were naturally the best.

The big bar of chocolate he took out was from a very niche brand in France, quite expensive, but tasted terrific.

Huang Yuntao had been to many countries and tried many delicacies, and this chocolate was one of his favorites.

He broke the large bar of chocolate in half, offering one piece to Dou Dou and another to Duoduo.

But the two of them didn’t reach out to take it, rather they looked at him with peculiar expressions.

"What’s wrong?" Huang Yuntao asked, puzzled.

"If you died, you wouldn’t be able to eat," Dou Dou said.

But still, she leaned in and took a deep sniff.

"I can now christen you the ’Great Good Egg.’"

Huang Yuntao: ????

He was somewhat bewildered, what was all of this about.
