Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 86: Netherworld Heritage

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Netherworld Heritage

Shen Siyuan did not immediately go to see Liu Wangshui; he just set up a time to meet with him.

On one hand, eagerly meeting the other party as soon as they wanted would be undervaluing himself.

On the other hand, he did not want to expose his living place. Although the other party might already know it, he did not wish to let just anyone enter his home.

"I was so awesome, he didn’t dare to move."

After coming back, Dou Dou was still full of pride, thinking that the whole credit was hers.

"Alright, you’re the best." Shen Siyuan patted her head but shifted his gaze toward Yin Xingyue next to him.

Yin Xingyue was very clear in her explanation of the events and their outcomes.

Shen Siyuan was very satisfied with the results of Yin Xingyue’s communication with the other party.

"Alright, I need to rest too. You guys go play. Also, Duoduo, you all should get acquainted."

Yin Xingyue nodded and was about to take her two younger sisters away.

Duoduo was interested in her newly met elder and younger sisters and wasn’t in a hurry to find her parents anymore. The three little ones rolled up a Yin Wind and disappeared inside the house.

Shen Siyuan looked at the time and found it was almost 2 am.

Remembering that he had an appointment the next morning, Shen Siyuan decided to go to bed and rest immediately.

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

Grandpa Liu returned home and found Lady Huang already fast asleep.

Seeing this, Grandpa Liu went straight over and poked her awake.

Although Grandpa Liu could not become visible, he shared a special connection with Lady Huang; she could hear him perfectly well if he spoke loudly.

"You old man, in the middle of the night, can’t you let people rest?" Lady Huang got up discontentedly.

"You old woman, I’m out there working hard, and you’re sound asleep at home; what kind of logic is that?"

Grandpa Liu waved the "Chicken Feather Duster" in his hand, displeased.

"You don’t need to sleep anyway; you’d be idle regardless." Lady Huang didn’t care much about it, got up, and left the bed.

Although the two were in a servitude relationship, they were also a husband and wife, living together for many years, and they had grown accustomed to each other.

Grandpa Liu opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but Lady Huang interrupted him, "Keep your voice down, don’t wake Mei up."

Hearing this, Grandpa Liu immediately shut his mouth and became very careful.

Their lineage placed great importance on blood relations; Mei had been raised by their side since she was young, and though she was their granddaughter, they actually treated her like a daughter.

After Lady Huang went to the bathroom and came out to see that Grandpa Liu was still in the room, she then asked, "What’s the matter, waking me up in the middle of the night?"

"About that little girl who’s always on fire, I ran into her again today," Grandpa Liu said.

"Oh, did you find out where she comes from?" Lady Huang asked casually.

Grandpa Liu shook his head, "Not yet, but I caught up to her and struck up a conversation."

Lady Huang, surprised, asked, "What did she say to you?"

She then asked with concern, "You said her flames were fierce; did you get hurt?"

Hearing this, Grandpa Liu said sarcastically, "Oh, you’re worried about me? When you were urging me on, why didn’t you think to worry about me then?"

Lady Huang glared at him unhappily and said, "Stop being weird, talk properly."

Hearing this, Grandpa Liu stopped the quirky talk and said, "That girl is not alone; there are three of them. Judging by their appearance, they must have a complete inheritance..."

In an era where Taoist magic was not apparent, having a complete inheritance was an extremely rare and curious thing.

"Three? Tell me everything from the beginning," Lady Huang was also very surprised.

So Grandpa Liu recounted the day’s events from start to finish.

After careful consideration, Lady Huang said, "You were a bit reckless today; if the other party had just attacked without a word, you would have been at a big disadvantage."

Grandpa Liu waved his hand nonchalantly, "It’s not like I’m completely defenseless."

While he said this, his heart was still fluttering with trepidation.

Lady Huang said, "Since we are willing to meet, let’s go together when the time comes."

"It should be so."

"I wonder which family lineage it is, to have such great capabilities," Lady Huang was very puzzled.

The bloodline inheritances they were now talking about all originated from a disturbance in the Underworld a hundred years ago, when the path to the Netherworld was blocked, causing many Ghost Messengers and officers to remain in the Mortal World.

Some had perished due to various accidents, some chose to combine with humans and continue their bloodline, while others used secret techniques to fall into a deep sleep, waiting for the Netherworld path to reopen...

However, these Ghost Officers in the Mortal World belonged to the lower echelons of the Underworld and were of minor power. Even if the power was passed down, it was feared that not one in ten would survive. Logically, they shouldn’t be capable of such feats.

"We shouldn’t make wild guesses here; all doubts will be cleared up after we meet," Grandpa Liu said.

"That’s the only way. But when the time comes for the meeting, I will go with you, and Mei should not follow," Lady Huang said.

"What’s there to fear? We are now in a society ruled by law, Human Dao Flourishing; should we still be afraid of them?" Grandpa Liu said this, but in his heart, he actually agreed with Lady Huang’s words.

"Go on, go... I need to rest, you go back to your room," Lady Huang impatiently shooed him away.

Grandpa Liu got up and walked towards the inner room where the ancestral hall was set up, with many ancestors and elders being worshipped inside.

The next day, Shen Siyuan got up early.

He casually mentioned inviting Ruan Hongzhuang for breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Hongzhuang took him seriously, so he had no choice but to follow through.

Glancing around the room, all three little ones hadn’t returned, with no clue where they had gone.

Shen Siyuan groomed himself, not dressing up especially, just as usual—clean and fresh was enough.

"I’m going downstairs, where are you?" Shen Siyuan messaged Ruan Hongzhuang.

Originally, he said he would pick up Ruan Hongzhuang, but she insisted on coming over by herself.

"I’ll be there soon, just two traffic lights away."

"Did you take a car here?"

Seeing Ruan Hongzhuang reply quickly, Shen Siyuan asked this.

"Yes, could you send your exact location to me? I’ll have the driver bring the car directly there," she replied.

So when Shen Siyuan reached the entrance of the residential community and sent his location.

Soon a black Mercedes stopped in front of Shen Siyuan. He was not clear about the specific model, as he wasn’t particularly interested in cars.

Ruan Hongzhuang opened the door and stepped out; perhaps because Shen Siyuan mentioned going hiking and shopping that day, she hadn’t worn a dress today, dressing very simply. However, this did not diminish her allure at all; instead, she radiated a healthy and energetic beauty.

Her upper body was clad in a black off-shoulder tight top revealing her collarbone and perfect shoulders, while her lower body was fitted in three-quarter-length jeans, exposing a stretch of fair calves and delicate ankles. She wore a pair of white flat sports shoes and didn’t carry a bag, making her look extremely youthful and lively, not at all like someone who was twenty-eight years old.

"Good morning."

Ruan Hongzhuang smiled and waved at Shen Siyuan.

"Good morning."

Shen Siyuan nodded and bowed slightly, his gaze turning to the black Mercedes that was preparing to leave behind her.

"I see the driver, is that Jiang Taoshi?"

Shen Siyuan had caught a brief glimpse when Ruan Hongzhuang got out of the car.

Ruan Hongzhuang did not deny it and nodded, "Since she had nothing else to do today, I let her drive me here."

Jiang Taoshi would surely have spat out a stream of curses saying thank you if she could hear them at that moment.

Who had she offended? She had been looking forward to a lazy morning off, only to be dragged out by Ruan Hongzhuang just for a ride to a date.

And the most crucial point was that the date was with her own matchmaking prospect.

Truly heart-wrenching.

"Not a human, pfft—, a pair of immoral lovers."

Jiang Taoshi glanced through the rearview mirror, stepped on the gas, and drove away, out of sight, out of mind, or else she would be infuriated to death.
