Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 51 Morning

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Morning

Shen Siyuan retracted the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and said to Yin Xingyue, "This also fulfills your wish."

Yin Xingyue nodded with a smile, appearing delighted, as if the perpetual frown on her brow had somewhat dissipated.

"Brother~"

Yin Xingyue suddenly called out again.

"What is it?"

"I want to go see Grandma," Yin Xingyue said.

"Of course, you can, but do you know the way?"

Yin Xingyue nodded. She didn’t know the way, but she knew which bus would take her to Grandma’s house.

"In that case, go ahead."

"Thank you, Brother~"

Yin Xingyue bowed deeply to Shen Siyuan and then rode off on the Yin Wind, whistling through the air.

Shen Siyuan turned and went back to bed, ready to continue sleeping.

But for some reason, he felt an underlying sense of unease.

That night, Shen Siyuan dreamed all night long, the women in his dreams constantly changing, fully releasing his desires.

So much so that when he woke up the next day, not only did he feel swollen and uncomfortable, but there was also a large wet spot beneath him.

This was not normal. He was twenty-six this year, not a teenager of eighteen or nineteen; it was odd for him to have a nocturnal emission.

Shen Siyuan knew this was the influence of Fang Yunlou.

After the Ten Thousand Soul Banner devoured the soul of Fang Yunlou, the desires attached to Fang Yunlou’s soul didn’t just disappear. They were absorbed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and ultimately reflected back onto him, the Banner Master.

Luckily, it was only Fang Yunlou, so it wouldn’t cause too much trouble. At most, he would feel a bit of heat in the lower abdomen and some impulses, but Shen Siyuan could still keep them under control.

He got up, washed up, took the letter he wrote to Lu Guanchang the night before, went downstairs, hopped on his electric scooter, and left the residential complex.

As he passed by the bus stop, he was immediately called out by Lin Manzhi, who was waiting for the bus.

"Sister Manzhi, you’re not driving today?"

"My car is being serviced, I can’t use it for the whole week."

Lin Manzhi walked up and perched herself on the back seat of his scooter.

"Then you should’ve told me earlier; otherwise, if I get up late, I might be late too."

"I can’t always bother you. If I run into you, then I’ll ask for a ride; if not, I’ll take the bus."

"What’s the big deal, Sister Manzhi, why be so polite with me?"

The two chatted casually as they went along.

"How about Brother Lu? Hasn’t he returned yet?"

"Probably another half a month," Lin Manzhi sighed.

The Brother Lu mentioned by Shen Siyuan was Lin Manzhi’s husband, who worked in a design institute and often had to travel for projects.

That was why, even though their companies were close by, Lin Manzhi always commuted alone.

"By the way, how are things with Ting Yu?"

"What things? It’s just the same as always."

"I’m telling you, you should be more proactive. If she doesn’t contact you, won’t you take the initiative to contact her?" Lin Manzhi said, patting him on the shoulder as she spoke.

"She discussed this with you?"

Shen Siyuan thought about it; it seemed they hadn’t been in touch just yesterday.

"Of course, she’s my best girlfriend," Lin Manzhi said.

"How did you two meet? Don’t tell me you were classmates; you two have quite an age difference."

"We met at a previous company, but we got along very well, so we’ve kept in touch..."

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

"Good morning Mr. Shen, good morning Sister Manzhi..."

Such an enthusiastic greeting, without even looking at the person, just from the sound of the voice, one would know it’s Ding Youguang.

"Morning," Lin Manzhi nodded to them.

"Eaten breakfast yet?" Ding Youguang casually asked.

Shen Siyuan stared at the breakfast in his hand and said, "Haven’t eaten, are you treating me?"

"Dream on, this is mine. If you really want some, I’ve got a bread roll in my drawer, I’ll give it to you later." Ding Youguang quickly pulled his hand back, his face full of wariness.

"Tch, who’d want your bread roll."

"There’s also a bottle of cola."

"Well, that’s not too bad..."

Lin Manzhi was amused by their banter.

After they left the elevator and went back to their respective offices, Lin Manzhi casually asked, "Are you and Ding Youguang close?"

"Pretty close; we often share orders for lunch."

"Ding Youguang is actually quite capable," Lin Manzhi suddenly said.

"You know about that?" Shen Siyuan asked in surprise.

"I heard it from a friend. He used to have his own company specializing in traffic promotion and probably made quite a bit. He sold it before joining our company."

"I’ve heard him talk about that. It wasn’t that he sold the company, but rather the company he collaborated with was acquired. He relied on the business from that company for survival. After the merger, there was no business left, and his own company went under."

The company in Ding Youguang’s hands now was the one currently looking to sign a contract with Shen Siyuan and his team.

Shen Siyuan had just returned to his seat when he received a message from Ding Youguang.

Thinking that Lin Manzhi was also in the elevator earlier, there were things he couldn’t say.

"Zhou Zhengdao said the plan you made is very detailed. He said it’s feasible to implement, let’s meet up this Friday to touch base."

"I’m fine with that. Ask Zhou Zhengdao to invite Li Qunfang as well, see if she’s willing to come."

That girl was quite the homebody; she might not want to dine out with the three of them.

"Don’t worry, it will be fine," Ding Youguang seemed very confident.

Just then, Wang Chao entered from the door and placed two bags in front of Shen Siyuan.

"Boss, here are your steamed buns and soy milk."

"Thank you. How much do I owe you? I’ll transfer to you on WeChat."

It turned out Shen Siyuan hadn’t had breakfast because Wang Chao was bringing it for him.

The steamed buns from "Youguang Breakfast" tasted very good and were conveniently located on Wang Chao’s route to work. He would go there every morning, which was why Shen Siyuan had asked him to bring some along.

Of course, Shen Siyuan wasn’t the only one for whom he was carrying breakfast; he had several other portions in his hands.

As Shen Siyuan was reading the news and having breakfast, Dou Dou came over, looked around curiously, and asked, "Where’s Sister Xiao Yue?"

"She went home to see her grandma."

"Oh." Dou Dou revealed a look of realization.

Then, standing on her tiptoes, she peeked at Shen Siyuan’s breakfast on the table.

"What are you eating?"

Though she was asking, she had already taken a deep breath, inhaling a faint wisp of smoke, which she sucked into her belly.

"So it’s steamed buns, heh heh~"

After saying that, she ran off to see what everyone else was eating.

Watching her lively behavior, Shen Siyuan thought of Yin Xingyue.

After seeing her grandma, her wish was thoroughly fulfilled.

What else is there in the mortal world for her to cling to?

He wondered whether she would choose to leave or stay.

Although they had only been together for a few days, Shen Siyuan had really taken a liking to this sensible and well-behaved girl.

If she chose to leave on her own, Shen Siyuan would respect her wishes.

But in this world, there is no reincarnation anymore, and leaving would mean a complete departure, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, disappearing entirely from the world.

Upon this reflection, Shen Siyuan suddenly felt that the steamed buns in his hand weren’t so tasty anymore.
