Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

Shen Siyuan, with a thought, summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and handed it to Dou Dou.

In his heart, he considered that it was indeed necessary to get a ghost-collecting Magical Treasure for the three little ones; they couldn't keep running back to him to borrow the Ten Thousand Soul Banner every time.

In fact, the Fan Soul can carry people to fly together; Xiao Yue has flown with people before. But Dou Dou and Duoduo are too young to carry anyone; it's still best to have a Magical Treasure that can collect ghosts.

Besides, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is his Lifebound Treasure. Although he's not worried about it being taken, it's immensely powerful and is very dangerous when handed over to kids like Dou Dou and them.

This is no longer a case of a child holding a gun; it's like a child standing in front of a nuclear button, easily causing widespread damage.

For instance, now Dou Dou, with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in hand, immediately waved the Soul Banner vigorously, the originally palm-sized Soul Banner rapidly expanded, and an invisible force of attraction instantly covered several kilometers, with wandering ghosts' bodies starting to lean in one direction, as if about to ascend into the air, while the living felt a moment of daze.

Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was heavily damaged, its power reduced to less than a hundredth, or else everything within dozens of miles, whether ghost or human, would have been captured by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Xiao Yue, who was listening to Ruan Hongzhuang's lecture on statue history, was also startled and immediately ran towards Shen Siyuan's direction.

Just in time to see Shen Siyuan pressing Dou Dou on his knee, spanking her on the butt "pia~pia~", making her cry out.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang also walked over to Shen Siyuan. Just moments ago, she felt a tightness in her heart, as if her soul was about to leave her body, frightening her into a jump, thinking something had happened to Shen Siyuan, making her really nervous.

Shen Siyuan snatched the Ten Thousand Soul Banner back from Dou Dou and handed it to the approaching Xiao Yue.

"Take her for a walk, and don't let her touch the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Xiao Yue, without questioning, reached out to take the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and nodded.

Then, she took Dou Dou from Shen Siyuan's hands.

Yes, she lifted her, like she was carrying a plastic bag.

Dou Dou, with her big eyes unblinkingly watching Xiao Yue, as obedient as could be.

"Got into trouble again?" Xiao Yue looked at her and asked.

If someone else asked, she'd try to defend herself a little, even to her Potato brother.

But when Xiao Yue asked, she immediately lowered her head like a wronged puppy, without a word of defense.

"Sigh~"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yue didn't feel like saying much more.

She just put her down and said, "Don't be naughty next time."

Then she waved to Shen Siyuan before leading Dou Dou, riding the Yin Wind away.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang came over, holding her chest and said, "What just happened, I felt a rush of panic."

"It was nothing, just Dou Dou being naughty."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

That heart-wrenching feeling was just a kid being naughty? Spoken so lightly?

"There's no need for such a big reaction, you're different from ordinary people; although you haven't cultivated much, both your body and spiritual senses are much stronger than others, which is why you feel like this. Ordinary people at most just feel a little dazed..."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, look at uncle and aunt, do they have any reaction?" Shen Siyuan pointed forward.

Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue were standing in front of a statue, debating whether its attire was from the Song or Ming Dynasty.

"Alright, I guess I'm too sensitive."

"That means you're making progress."

Seeing Shen Siyuan and them looking over, Ruan Xiangqian immediately beckoned them to come over.

"Let's go."

Shen Siyuan helped the sitting Ruan Hongzhuang up and walked over there.

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

As time passed, Yan Weiyi's heart grew heavier. The little girl he met earlier was unlikely to return.

Yet he didn't want to give up, standing outside the chapel waiting, not daring to leave, fearful he might miss her return.

At this moment, he felt conflicted.

Just like he told Duoduo, he was a firefighter.

To be honest, when he chose to become a firefighter, it wasn't to protect people's lives and property.

It was simply because he couldn't find a job after graduating from college, so he found work to do.

And so, he became a proud firefighter.

But gradually, he began to like the feeling.

He liked the feeling of training with his team when there were no calls.

He liked helping people when responding to calls.

He liked the grateful smiles from those he rescued.

He liked the applause from the crowd after saving lives.

He liked the gratitude from families after disasters.

...

He thought of himself as a vain person, but he had indeed helped many people.

From small cats and dogs to children and the elderly, during these years as a firefighter, he didn't know how many lives he had saved, how often he had protected people's property.

Gradually, he no longer saw it as just a job, but as a lifelong career.

In a big fire, Yan Weiyi risked his life to save a young woman.

The fire kissed the woman's cheek, leaving a deep scorch mark.

But the woman didn't feel inferior because of this, she remained passionate and cheerful, continuing to love life as before.

Yan Weiyi was instantly captivated by her.

So the two went from acquaintance, to understanding, to falling in love, everything flowed naturally.

Just as they were about to discuss marriage, Yan Weiyi had an accident, falling from a building during a rescue operation.

The fire burn scars didn't let the woman despair, but losing Yan Weiyi made the woman lose all hope in life, completely.

She attempted suicide several times, always saved by her parents, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Yan Weiyi regretted countless times why he had to meet her.

Perhaps without falling in love, she would still be the lively and cheerful girl who loved life.

Every night after his death, regret plagued him.

He had given up hope, until he met that magical little girl.

Thinking of this, Yan Weiyi calmed his anxious heart and looked up at the sky.

The azure sky, cloudless, lacked the figure he hoped for.

"Sigh~"

Yan Weiyi sighed deeply, wondering how he, as a dead man, could still be so naive, his heart filled with a bleak sadness.

"What are you sighing for?"

At this moment, a small voice sounded below him.

Yan Weiyi looked down at the sound, seeing Duoduo looking up at him with a peculiar expression.

"Duoduo, did you... have you told your brother?" His voice trembled slightly, eyes full of expectation.

Duoduo nodded and then said, "Brother asked me to take you to see him."

"Alright, let's go right now..."

Before he could finish, Duoduo reached behind her and pulled out a large gourd.

Seeing a gourd about half the size of Duoduo, Yan Weiyi was astonished, wondering where she hid such a large gourd.

Then he saw her open the gourd stopper and aim the mouth of the gourd at him.

"In you go."

With that, a powerful force pulled him in.

Duoduo expertly closed the gourd, ready to do a jiggle dance, but suddenly realized.

No, this isn't a bad guy; she nearly shook him loose.

"Hey~"

Duoduo flashed an embarrassed smile and then transformed into a gust of Yin Wind, hurriedly departing.
