Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1110 - 1106: The Queen Mother of the West

"Oh?"

Seeing Shen Siyuan standing there, dazed and staring, Tang Tang waddled forward on her little legs and gently tugged on his shirt with her soft little hand.

Shen Siyuan looked down and met a pair of big, watery eyes. The little one lifted her round face to look at him, her eyes no longer showing any dissatisfaction from having her flag taken away earlier, only pure concern, as if asking what was wrong.

Feeling a warmth in his heart, Shen Siyuan reached out to rub her head, then handed back the Plain Cloud Realm Flag that was in his palm while lightly pinching her cheek.

"Han~"

Tang Tang immediately grinned, showing a mouthful of baby teeth and laughing heartily. She grabbed the flagpole with her little hand, hugging it like a treasure.

She looked up at the clear sky, recalling the fun scene of waving the flag to summon clouds earlier. Her small hands quickly waved the flag a few times, her little arms swinging in circles.

But this time, the sky remained quiet, not a single cloud moved.

The little girl, unconvinced, waved the flag several more times, until her arms were a bit tired. Yet, the sky was still cloudless and sunny.

"Oh?"

Tang Tang furrowed her brows, lowered her head to inspect the flag closely, flipping it back and forth. Her little fingers even scratched at the cloud patterns on the flag, her face full of confusion, unable to understand why the flag, which could summon clouds earlier, suddenly wasn’t working.

Her series of actions with the flag happened to catch Dou Dou’s eye.

Dou Dou suddenly recalled how he had been spun around like a top by an inexplicable gust of wind, getting dizzy, and immediately realized. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

This was clearly the work of Tang Tang, the little troublemaker.

"Oh, you..."

Dou Dou stormed forward angrily, his little legs moving quickly.

Tang Tang saw him coming and immediately hid the flag behind her back, shrinking her small body back. Her round eyes were alert, staring at Dou Dou with a look that said "don’t come over."

Dou Dou crossed his arms, deliberately puffing out his chest to appear fierce and mighty, glaring at Tang Tang as he questioned, "Was it you up to no good? Did you secretly wave the flag to blow the wind?"

After spending a lot of time together, Dou Dou had figured out Tang Tang’s little tricks and knew that, though she couldn’t hear, she could understand simple actions.

Tang Tang initially blinked in confusion, but as Dou Dou puffed out his cheeks and made a blowing gesture at her, she suddenly understood.

The little mischief-maker immediately felt guilty, her big eyes avoiding Dou Dou’s gaze and turning sideways, a posture that was amusing to see.

"Han~"

She tried to force a nonchalant grin, her little hands secretly gripping the flagpole behind her back, but her guilty behavior had already betrayed her.

Seeing this, Dou Dou pinched her chubby cheek and gave it a little squeeze: "Hurry and apologize."

"Han~"

Tang Tang, cheeks pinched, continued to giggle, almost drooling.

"You’re still laughing?"

Dou Dou pinched her cheek again.

"Han~"

"Ah! You got your drool on my hand!"

Dou Dou let go in disgust and wiped his hand on the back of his own hand.

Tang Tang seemed to sense that Dou Dou was genuinely upset. Hesitating for a moment, she handed the Plain White Flag in front of Dou Dou with a smile of appeasement on her face, as a gesture of apology.

Dou Dou’s eyes immediately lit up. Forgetting his anger, he reached out and snatched the flag, holding it like a treasure.

She imitated Tang Tang’s earlier actions, flipping the flag back and forth, then fiercely waved it at the sky.

Of course, nothing happened.

Unwilling to give up, Dou Dou gripped the flagpole and swung it several more times, but the sky remained calm, not even a breeze stirred.

Dou Dou’s face dropped, angrily turning to Shen Siyuan, her eyebrows scrunched together: "Potato. Did you break it?"

Shen Siyuan chuckled, took the flag from her, and lightly waved it at the sky. Instantly, the wind rose and clouds rolled in, the previously scattered haze gathering again, forming soft cloud patterns across the horizon.

With a reverse swing of his hand, the clouds dissipated instantaneously, restoring the sky to its original state, the change so quick it caught everyone by surprise.

"Huh?"

Dou Dou’s eyes widened, full of wonder.

"Oh?"

Tang Tang too, mouth agape, her little face full of amazement.

Reacting quickest, Tang Tang let out a cry, snatched the flag from Shen Siyuan’s hand, and wildly waved it at the sky. But no matter how she swung her arms, the sky remained perfectly still.

"Haha, can’t do it, huh? Let me try, let me try."

Dou Dou excitedly jumped up, reaching out to grab.

But Tang Tang, seeing the unresponsive flag in her hand, pouted, suddenly threw the flag to the ground in frustration, and stomped on it with her chunky little legs, letting out a series of agitated grunts, full of embarrassment and anger.

Shen Siyuan watched the Cloud Realm Flag on the ground and then glanced at the huffy little one, his lips twitching, momentarily unsure what to say.

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

Tang Tang’s inability to drive the flag anymore actually had a reason.

Earlier, the Plain Cloud Realm Flag was ownerless, and as Tang Tang was naturally extraordinary, she could wield it at will with her pure childlike mind.

But since Shen Siyuan’s Divine Sense entered the flag, transcending time to witness the original owner, the flag officially recognized him as its master and became his possession.

Shen Siyuan casually placed a simple restriction on the flag, making it so neither Tang Tang nor Dou Dou could utilize it any further.​

"Alright, alright, you little girl, aren’t you quite temperamental," Taozi chuckled as she cautiously picked up the flag from the ground.

The flag was pristine, pure and translucent, pleasing to the eye, and it would be a shame if Tang Tang’s stomping dirtied it.​

But when she picked up the flag to take a look, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

Though Tang Tang had stepped on it several times, the flag surface was still immaculate, not a speck of dust or stain to be seen.​

Taozi examined the flag thoroughly before handing it back to Shen Siyuan, casually asking: "What kind of flag is this?"​

"Plain Cloud Realm Flag." Shen Siyuan responded openly without hiding.​

"Oh, it’s the Plain Cloud Realm Flag..."

Taozi instinctively responded, her fingertips touching Shen Siyuan’s palm as she prepared to pass the flag over, then suddenly realized, her eyes widening, her hand retracting as if burned, clutching the flag tightly, scrutinizing it with big eyes.

Her face showed indescribable shock, her voice trembling slightly: "Did you just say this is the Plain Cloud Realm Flag?"​

If it were another flag, she possibly wouldn’t have heard of it, but the words "Plain Cloud Realm Flag," anyone who has read "Investiture of the Gods" would know its fame.​

In "Investiture of the Gods," Princess Long Ji once told Tu Xingsun: "The Plain Cloud Realm Flag is with my mother. This flag is also called ’Cloud Realm,’ also called ’Gathering Immortals.’ At the Turquoise Pool gathering, raising this flag immediately alerts all immortals, who then come to partake, hence named ’Gathering Immortals Banner.’ This flag cannot be borrowed by others and must be fetched personally by Nanji Immortal."​

And Princess Long Ji’s mother is the exalted Queen Mother of the West, who presides over the Turquoise Pool.​

It’s an Ancient Divine Item that even Nanji Immortal must personally visit to borrow, its preciousness evident.

Taozi held the small flag in her hands, feeling her palms heat up, momentarily at a loss, feeling as if she were dreaming.
