Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 76 Wealth Gap

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Wealth Gap

The Netherworld Fire Fireflies that appeared on Shen Siyuan’s hand seemed to feel the vibrations, one by one awakening, then vibrating their wings and flying into the air, scattering around.

The humming sound of the vibrating wings was incessant.

But soon, it was accompanied by the "whoosh whoosh" sound of cutting through the air.

These finger-sized Netherworld Fire Fireflies, like sharp swords piercing the void, flew around Shen Siyuan’s body, up and down.

Some landed on his shoulder, some on the lapels of his garment, and some even on his head...

Shen Siyuan felt immensely grateful that the Jiuyou Demon Lord had used the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to refine and cultivate these Iron-eating Fireflies.

Otherwise, he would not be able to control these Netherworld Fire Fireflies as if they were extensions of his arms, and he might even have been devoured by them.

However, the number of these Netherworld Fire Fireflies had indeed decreased, Shen Siyuan counted only seventy-nine.

You should know, originally, the Jiuyou Demon Lord had bred a million of them, and upon release, they blotted out the sky; and it was with this strategy that he counter-slaughtered many demon-hunting warriors.

But for some reason, out of the millions of Netherworld Fire Fireflies, only these mere seventy-nine remained.

Regrettably, the Jiuyou Demon Lord failed his tribulation, leaving only a residual soul behind, which caused many memories to be lost, and the specific reason remained unknown.

But fortunately, these Netherworld Fire Fireflies can reproduce, and he plans to cultivate more in the future, yearning for the spectacular scene of controlling swarms of Netherworld Fire Insects.

Yin Xingyue and Dou Dou, who were practicing "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" nearby, stopped their practice and curiously watched Shen Siyuan.

"Potato, Potato, they are so cute..."

"Potato, are these Ice Pop Fireflies..."

"Wow, Potato, it seems like all the Ice Pop Insects are listening to you..."

"Potato, can I play with them..."

...

Dou Dou, the little chatterbox, finally couldn’t hold back and started chattering away when all the Netherworld Fire Fireflies landed on Shen Siyuan.

Yin Xingyue tried to cover her mouth, but couldn’t keep it shut, as the child was simply too lively.

Shen Siyuan chuckled lightly, the two Netherworld Fire Fireflies perched on his shoulder suddenly fluttered up, one landed on Yin Xingyue’s shoulder, and the other on Dou Dou’s head.

Yin Xingyue: →_→

Dou Dou: (´◔‸◔`)

Both little ones froze on the spot, making cute expressions, daring not to move, afraid of scaring away the little adorable creatures on their bodies.

"These two Netherworld Fire Fireflies are for you, you must take good care of them, and you can feed them with Netherworld Fire or metal," Shen Siyuan said.

"Really?"

Dou Dou was thrilled, though her voice remained soft, afraid of scaring the insect on her head.

Yin Xingyue curiously stretched out her hand, a ball of Netherworld Fire appeared on her fingertip, and the Netherworld Fire Firefly on her shoulder immediately landed on her fingertip, devouring the ball of Netherworld Fire.

Seeing this, Dou Dou hurriedly imitated Yin Xingyue, stretching out her chubby little finger, but after much effort, she could not produce any smoke.

"You might as well not exert yourself, your Netherworld Fire Firefly is almost stuffed on top of your head."

Dou Dou then realized, with a thought, the Netherworld Fire Firefly on her head landed on her fingertip.

"Its butt is glowing, hia~hia... its butt is glowing, hia~hia..."

Seeing her silly look, both Yin Xingyue and Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

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

An alarm woke the soundly sleeping Shen Siyuan.

Without opening his eyes, he reached for his phone, turned off the alarm, and then opened his eyes.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the round table below, and a gentle breeze blew through the thin window screen, swaying the potted green plant on the table.

Shen Siyuan sat up straight from the bed.

He stretched lazily, twisted his shoulders, muscles like a great dragon, bones like popping beans, making continuous sounds.

Refreshed, spiritually revitalized, his body feeling endlessly strong, even normal breathing felt exhilarating, each cell in the body seemed to cheer with vitality.

This is the strength brought about by reaching the Second Stage.

Took a long breath, exhaled the stagnant air in my chest, and then got up.

Yin Xingyue and Dou Dou ran off somewhere again.

Of course, that’s also because Shen Siyuan didn’t limit their freedom, they come and go as they please.

Picked up my phone and first sent a message to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Good morning, are you up?"

But I didn’t get a reply from Ruan Hongzhuang, she probably was still sleeping.

She’s not like Shen Siyuan, she’s a boss, whereas Shen Siyuan is just a hardworking employee.

Only while having breakfast on the way to work did I receive a message from Ruan Hongzhuang, it was almost eight o’clock, and she had just gotten up.

Shen Siyuan sent her a photo of his breakfast.

"Looks delicious."

"Of course, I’ll bring some for you next time so we can eat together."

"Sure, when?"

Ruan Hongzhuang is straightforward, never insincere; when Shen Siyuan suggested they eat together, she took it seriously.

"Let’s do it tomorrow morning then," Shen Siyuan said.

Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and they already had plans, meeting early in the morning gives them time to have breakfast together.

"That’s settled then."

Ruan Hongzhuang was very happy upon hearing this, looking forward to their meeting tomorrow.

For some reason, she just felt that Shen Siyuan had an inexplicable attraction, and being by his side felt very comfortable, a kind of soul connection.

Her feeling wasn’t wrong, as Ruan Hongzhuang’s own aura was attracted to Shen Siyuan’s even more massive aura, unconsciously wanting to get closer, like two magnets where the smaller one gets drawn to the bigger one.

"What did you have for breakfast?" Shen Siyuan casually asked.

Ruan Hongzhuang quickly sent over a photo.

Then Shen Siyuan kept silent.

Because the photo Ruan Hongzhuang sent had meat sauce pasta, steak, strawberry French toast, goose liver and apple sandwiches, and a fruit platter...

In total, there were seven or eight dishes, each not very large in portion but very exquisite.

Then looking at his meal, a bowl of mixed beef soup, two fried dough sticks, two steam buns, a bowl of beef noodle soup; he even felt embarrassed about inviting her for breakfast.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan didn’t reply, Ruan Hongzhuang sent over a question mark.

Shen Siyuan helplessly said, "Are you eating all this by yourself?"

"No, Taozi is here too."

Ruan Hongzhuang sent another photo showing Jiang Taoshi sitting opposite her eating breakfast.

She probably noticed Ruan Hongzhuang taking her picture, so she smiled and gestured a V.

Turns out, after last night’s dinner, she didn’t go home but stayed over at Ruan Hongzhuang’s house.

But even for two people, this kind of breakfast is indeed extremely lavish.

Indeed, the world of the rich is drastically different from that of the poor.

Shen Siyuan instantly lost interest in chatting.

"Not chatting anymore, on my way to work."

"Okay, I’ll contact you at noon today," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Though it was just plain text, Shen Siyuan somehow read a bit of joy into it.

When he reached the office building, he happened to meet Lin Manzhi.

Seeing Shen Siyuan, she quickly walked up to him.

"Sister Manzhi, did you drive here today?" Shen Siyuan greeted her with a smile.

Lin Manzhi nodded, then immediately asked, "How are things going with Ting Yu? What exactly are you thinking?"

It was clear that Jiang Tingyu must have said something to her last night.
