Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1059 - 1055: Return to the City

"Is the brother you mentioned really that amazing?"

This was the sixth time Wei Zixu asked Duoduo.

Ever since Duoduo mentioned Shen Siyuan, Wei Zixu went from excitement to growing doubt, and finally to anxiety.

"Of course it’s true, I don’t lie, I don’t lie..." Duoduo repeated several times, feeling a bit impatient.

"Will he like me?"

"Will he dislike me?"

"If he dislikes me, will he refuse to help me?"

"My grandma said I’m too naughty, that no one would like me."

...

"Sigh, Wei Zixu, you’re a bit nagging, so annoying."

Even Dou Dou, usually lively, couldn’t take his rambling anymore.

"Hehe, sorry, I... I’m a bit nervous," Wei Zixu said sheepishly.

Actually, neither Duoduo nor Dou Dou minded much, though Dou Dou was curious about what his grandma said.

"Why would your grandma say that? Doesn’t she like you?"

Wei Zixu thought for a moment, shook his head, then nodded.

"I don’t know, she should like me, right? Mom says she talks like that, knife mouth, tofu heart..."

Dou Dou licked her lips, curious about what tofu mouth tasted like, whether it was as smooth and tender as tofu.

"It’s knife mouth, tofu heart, you said it backward," Duoduo corrected him.

"Hehe, Duoduo, you’re so smart, so amazing," Wei Zixu said.

Dou Dou side-eyed him upon hearing this. She noticed this brother loves to praise people, calling them smart and amazing over trivial things.

Unfortunately, the two of them were too small to fly back with Wei Zixu, otherwise they wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of "walking" back.

Perhaps because of what Dou Dou said earlier, Wei Zixu didn’t ask about Shen Siyuan again.

But soon enough, he started asking other questions.

"Are you sure this direction is right..."

"But I remember going right before..."

"There’s a sign ahead, should we check it out..."

"Don’t get the direction wrong, if we do, it will take a long time to walk again..."

...

Actually, you couldn’t blame Wei Zixu. Alone in a place like the reservoir, he was too lonely, so upon meeting Duoduo and Dou Dou, he wanted to make his mouth move, even if it meant talking nonsense.

Wei Zixu seemed aware of his own problem too.

"Am I talking too much?" Wei Zixu asked.

Dou Dou and Duoduo both nodded together, very honestly.

"Hehe~, because no one’s talked to me for so long. A few years ago, two uncles even wanted to talk to me, but I didn’t want to talk to them."

"Uncles, there are still people going to that place?" Dou Dou was surprised.

Because of Dou Dou’s interruption, Wei Zixu didn’t explain why he didn’t want to talk to the two uncles.

"They went fishing, fell into the water, and drowned. Afterward, no one came anymore," Wei Zixu said.

"Oh, how pitiful."

Dou Dou said, though her face showed no expression of pity.

Because she had seen too many dead people, many pitiful, including herself.

Of course Duoduo and her friends wouldn’t get lost, Shen Siyuan was their best guidepost. No matter how far, the Fan Soul and Banner Master always shared a thread of connection, and with this link, they’d never get lost.

"Huh, this place is beautiful? It wasn’t here before."

Entering the city, Wei Zixu felt like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Society developed so fast that he hadn’t visited the city for years, and it now felt entirely different, to the point where he couldn’t recognize it anymore.

"Quick, quick..." Dou Dou tugged at his clothes, thinking this brother was so slow and troublesome.

They had been walking from early morning till nearly noon before making it back, and now he was wasting time again.

"I’m just curious and want to take a look," Wei Zixu said, feeling a bit wronged.

"Once we meet the big brother, I’ll take you out to play," Duoduo slapped her chest, like a big sister.

"Promise?" Wei Zixu said joyfully.

He was still a kid, after all, naturally playful.

"Of course, let’s go quickly." Duoduo went ahead first, and Dou Dou and Wei Zixu hurriedly followed.

"Let’s hurry back and have lunch, I wonder what good food Potato has today," Dou Dou said happily.

She loved to have meals at Potato’s because he had such a big belly that he could eat a lot, so the meals were always plentiful, giving her many choices.

"You’re a ghost, why do you need to eat? How long have you been a ghost, and you still don’t get it?" Wei Zixu asked, confused.

"I’m not a ghost," Dou Dou said indignantly.

"Then what are you? →_→" Wei Zixu side-eyed her floating, transparent body.

"I’m a ghost god," Dou Dou said.

"Is there a difference?" Wei Zixu asked.

Dou Dou scratched her head. Honestly, there wasn’t much difference, a ghost god was a god, but still a ghost.

"I can fly, I can shoot fire, and I can eat things..." Dou Dou said.

"You can fly?" Wei Zixu was amazed.

"Hmph."

Dou Dou twirled in place with pride, then transformed into a gust of Yin Wind and soared into the sky.

Wei Zixu looked up, his mouth gaping in surprise.

Then he quickly withdrew his gaze, looking hopefully at Duoduo up ahead.

So Duoduo also spun up a Yin Wind in front of him and flew into the sky.

On the rest of the journey, Wei Zixu returned to being a little chatterbox.

"Will your Potato like me..."

"I’m not really that naughty..." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"How much will he like me? Will he teach me to fly, too..."

...

Dou Dou wished to stuff his mouth shut.

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

"Mom, how are you feeling today?"

Shen Siyuan handed the milk to Jiang Yingxue.

Jiang Yingxue’s belly was quite large by this time, making it extremely difficult to move, and Ruan Xiangqian had long since gone back.

"Thank you."

Jiang Yingxue thanked him, reached for the milk, and drank it all in one go.

Pregnant for over eight months, usually, at this time, people feel lethargic, eating and sleeping more as a way to adjust their body.

But with Shen Siyuan around, none of this was a problem. Apart from being unable to move efficiently, Jiang Yingxue felt full of energy every day, not only walking around but also loving to frolic with the kids. It seemed like her pregnancy rekindled her childlike heart.

As they were talking, Tang Tang approached with a lion hand puppet on one hand and a small shaker in the other.

The shark hand puppet had long been played to ruination, and Mao Sanmei had to buy her a new one.

"Hey, meatball, look, what’s this?"

Tang Tang came up to Jiang Yingxue, doing a bunch of babbling at her belly.

She then shook the shaker a couple of times, making a "shush" sound.

Then they saw a slight movement in Jiang Yingxue’s belly, like the outline of a small hand.

Jiang Yingxue gently caressed her belly, finding it adorable.

But Dou Dou thought Granny Jiang had eaten a child, and had been avoiding her, keeping a distance all this time.
