Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1111 - 1107: Commotion

Dou Dou was still enthusiastically waving the Plain Cloud Realm Flag in her hand, taking a few steps and waving it, while mimicking the sounds of conjuring wind and rain.

Taozi was still immersed in the shock of the Plain Cloud Realm Flag, staring intently at the white flag, with the description of the Plain Cloud Realm Flag in "Investiture of the Gods" echoing in her mind, unable to regain her senses for a while.

Until she heard a soft "crack" sound, Dou Dou actually stuffed the flagpole into her mouth and bit down hard, and the once white flagpole was instantly covered in her saliva, glistening.

Taozi watched this scene, and the awe she felt for ancient Divine Items instantly vanished, completely "disenchanted".

She couldn’t help but support her forehead, thinking if The Queen Mother of the West knew her precious flag was used as a teether by a little girl ghost, she might be so angry she’d descend from the heavens.

If she knew that this silly, bite-loving niece actually had an extraordinary background, she’d probably be even more surprised.

Taozi turned to look at Shen Siyuan beside her, who was bowing his head, fingers swiftly tapping away on his phone screen, as if sending a message.

"Hey, I came out with you, and here you are, busy sending messages to someone else."

Taozi scooted next to him, pouting and murmuring, "Is it Ruan Ruan? Is she doing a check-in on you?"

As she spoke, she didn’t lean over to look at the phone screen.

Even though their relationship was already close enough to know each other’s length and depth, they still needed to leave some space for each other.

"It’s Zhong Xiaonan," Shen Siyuan replied without raising his head.

"Oh?"

Taozi raised an eyebrow, deliberately putting on a stern face, "You’re on such good terms with her? You remember to contact her even when you’re with me?"

Shen Siyuan, hearing this, finally stopped typing and looked up at her.

Taozi pouted angrily, her cheeks slightly puffed up like an adorable little pufferfish.

He couldn’t help but reach out and gently pinch her smooth, fair cheeks; soft to the touch, they were so smooth it felt like breaking through a tender surface, making one reluctant to let go.

Not satisfied with just a couple of pinches, he simply covered her cheek with his palm, feeling its warm softness.

"What silly talk is this?"

Shen Siyuan’s voice carried a smile, "Contacting her is naturally for business. There was such a commotion with the clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky earlier. Who do you think the security services would think of first?"

Taozi, realizing this, immediately understood, her petty emotions dissipating, replaced by curiosity as she asked, "So what did you tell them?"

"What else could I say?" Shen Siyuan’s eyes glanced over at Dou Dou, who was still examining the flag, and said calmly, "I just said I don’t know and that it has nothing to do with me."

"Will they believe you?" Taozi seemed doubtful.

"Does it matter if they do?"

Shen Siyuan chuckled, unconcerned.

"That’s true..."

By saying he doesn’t know, there’s no way they’d be able to interrogate him further; they really have no means to deal with him.

Taozi’s words were cut off by a sudden "pop" that startled her, causing her to instinctively move closer to Shen Siyuan.

Not only her, even Dou Dou was startled by the sudden sound, the Plain Cloud Realm Flag in her hand falling to the ground with a "thud", her little face full of shock.

The instigator, Tang Tang, stood not far away, hands behind her back, a mischievous grin on her face. Seeing everyone’s attention on her, she immediately turned, and with her little legs, quickly ran away.

"You little rascal, daring to scare me?" Dou Dou, realizing what happened, immediately chased after her, not even bothering to pick up the flag that fell.

Taozi helplessly walked forward and bent down to pick up the Plain Cloud Realm Flag from the ground.

To her surprise, even after Dou Dou had bitten it, got it covered in saliva, and after falling to the ground, the flag was still pristine and immaculate, not a speck of dust or stain, with even the saliva marks vanished without a trace, feeling as smooth as jade to the touch.

It turned out Tang Tang used a popper to scare people.

Shen Siyuan was also puzzled, wondering how there could be poppers for sale outside the Jade Emperor Temple.

It was likely left over from New Year, vendors hadn’t cleaned it up in time, so it was set out in a corner for sale.

Earlier, Xiao Ya accompanied Tang Tang to buy snacks with the fifty yuan they found.

Tang Tang picked a bunch of candies and cookies, while Xiao Ya was drawn to the poppers lying in the corner; something she played with as a child when her mom hadn’t left home yet, it was a precious memory from her childhood.

So she used the remaining money to buy a box.

Unexpectedly, Tang Tang got hooked on playing with them, sneaking up to others’ feet with poppers and throwing them hard, delighting in others’ startled reactions.

Shen Siyuan couldn’t really understand why Tang Tang liked playing with poppers despite being unable to hear. Could it be she enjoyed watching others’ reactions to being startled?

Dou Dou was chasing Tang Tang around the square in front of the Jade Emperor Temple, laughter and playful shouts rang out continuously.

And Duoduo, getting into the spirit, secretly placed a few more poppers on the path they had to cross.

"Pop~ Pop~ Pop~"

Several crisp sounds in succession sent the square into chaos.

Of course, it was mainly Dou Dou who was scared and screamed repeatedly, occasionally jumping up and dodging to the side, busily in a flustered state.

As for Tang Tang, unable to hear the sounds, she continued running gleefully, unaffected.

"Enough, stop fooling around."

Shen Siyuan put away his phone, reaching out to pull the still spectating Taozi, "Let’s go."

"Where to now?" Taozi asked.

Shen Siyuan looked up at the sky, the sun was already gradually setting in the west, and if they went to another place, there probably wouldn’t be enough time.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Head home first?"

"No way."

Taozi immediately shook her head, a bit coquettishly, "I don’t want to go back yet."

Even though a few little "light bulbs" were tagging along, she felt satisfied being out with Shen Siyuan like this, and really didn’t want to go back so soon.

Shen Siyuan looked back at her with surprise, seeing the look of anticipation in her eyes, his heart softened.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Then let’s go shopping and have dinner outside tonight."

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he just accompanied Taozi for street shopping and dining outside.

"Great, great."

Taozi’s eyes immediately lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "I want hotpot, spicy base!"

"Sure."

Shen Siyuan affectionately ruffled her hair, agreeing without hesitation.

Then, he turned to look at the still playing kids in the square, raised his voice, and shouted, "Hey, you little ones, time to go home."

"Oh～"

The kids, upon hearing this, immediately stopped their antics and ran quickly toward Shen Siyuan, with Tang Tang in the lead, her tiny legs moving swiftly.

But Shen Siyuan slowly raised his head, gazing at the sky above the Jade Emperor Temple.

He stretched out his hand and gently beckoned.

From the edge of the clouds, almost invisible, an intangible banner spun around in the air, transforming into a stream of light as it flew toward Shen Siyuan.

In flight, the banner rapidly shrank, finally turning palm-sized and landing steadily in his palm.

This scene was seen by Tang Tang, who had just run up; she immediately grabbed Shen Siyuan’s palm and examined it carefully.

"Han?"

Her little face was full of confusion.

Where did it go? Where did the thing go?

She immediately tried to lift Shen Siyuan’s clothes, searching on him.

"You little rascal, how can you lift someone else’s clothes in public?"

Shen Siyuan knocked her little head, then casually picked her up.

"Let’s go..."
