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

"It's been a long time since the whole family gathered like this. It's a pity the second sibling couldn't make it back."

During dinner, Uncle sighed.

"It's fine. When Ruan Ruan and the others get married, everyone will definitely come back," Ruan Xiangqian said.

"Have you picked a date? Which month are you planning to hold the wedding?"

"March eighteenth, the date we chose with Xiao Shen's parents," Jiang Yingxue said.

"The sooner the better, Ruan Ruan is not young anymore. If she doesn't get married now, she'll soon be thirty."

Uncle's big words dealt a heavy blow to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Uncle..." Ruan Hongzhuang said with a sulky face.

"Haha, it's okay. Actually, thirty is not the bottom," Uncle said with a laugh.

While saying this, he glanced at Ruan Manman, who was sitting beside him.

Ruan Manman was already used to it, completely pretending not to hear, and even changed the topic.

"Sister-in-law, I heard Xiao Shen's mother was your classmate?"

"Haha, it's really a coincidence when you talk about it."

Upon saying this, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but feel delighted.

When Uncle and Aunt heard this, they became curious and asked questions repeatedly.

After understanding the whole story, the aunt, who usually spoke very little, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly a destined relationship that spans a thousand miles. Xiao Shen and Ruan Ruan are meant to be."

Even Ruan Manman, who always gave Shen Siyuan the cold shoulder, couldn't help but sigh.

"Ruan Ruan hasn't been moved by any boy all these years. Turns out she was waiting for Xiao Shen to appear."

Hearing them say this, Ruan Hongzhuang became even happier. If they weren't still at the dining table, she might have already thrown herself into Shen Siyuan's arms.

"They are chatting so happily, but I'm bored." Dou Dou lay on the living room floor, rolling back and forth.

Because there were guests at home, Shen Siyuan didn't allow them to show themselves, so they could only wander around the house in boredom.

Lying beside her, Duoduo, waved her arms and legs up and down as if swimming, also bored to the point of growing mold.

"Where's Sister Xiao Yue?" Duoduo suddenly remembered, noticing Sister Xiao Yue's absence.

"She and Little Fatty went to the room."

Dou Dou pointed to the room Ruan Xiangqian had come out of earlier.

"Let's go see what she's doing," Duoduo immediately perked up.

The two ran to the door, only to see Little Fatty sitting at the door, looking around.

"What are you doing?" Dou Dou curiously asked.

"I'm keeping watch for Xiao Yue," Little Fatty said.

"Keeping watch?" Dou Dou scratched her little head, not really understanding.

But seeing Duoduo already enter the room, she quickly followed inside.

Then she saw Xiao Yue had already made herself visible, and was flipping through the photo album placed on the table by Ruan Xiangqian.

"Oh, you're being naughty, showing yourself like that. I'm going to tell Potato," Dou Dou muttered aloud.

"There's no one in the study to see, plus I have Little Fatty keeping watch for me. He'll notify me if someone comes," Xiao Yue glanced at her and said.

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou suddenly understood, realizing that this was what keeping watch meant.

Meanwhile, Duoduo had already leaned over, curiously peeking at the photo album Xiao Yue was looking through.

"It's Granny Jiang. She looks so young..."

Hearing this, Dou Dou hurriedly squeezed over too.

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

"Kitty?"

It was late at night, quiet and still, and Shen Siyuan finally found time to chat with Little Fatty.

"Can I?" Little Fatty looked at Shen Siyuan with hope.

After understanding the situation, Shen Siyuan couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't expect Little Fatty to take his sister's wish so seriously.

But it was also Little Fatty's wish, so Shen Siyuan agreed to help.

"Thank you, Immortal Brother," Little Fatty said happily upon hearing this.

Shen Siyuan patted his head and asked with a smile, "Dou Dou always calls you Little Fatty Brother, but I still don't know your name."

"My name is Zhang Yuhui, and my sister's name is Zhang Ximu," Little Fatty said.

"Alright, I see. I'll give your sister a kitten tomorrow," Shen Siyuan said, patting his head again.

This Little Fatty was quite cute.

"Thank you, Immortal Brother. Should I... should I kneel and kowtow?" he asked curiously.

"No need, you should go back to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner first."

With a thought, Shen Siyuan summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Little Fatty, hearing this, looked back at Dou Dou and the others with a hint of reluctance and asked, "Will I be able to see them again?"

"Of course."

"Then I'm okay with it, Immortal Brother," Little Fatty said.

So Shen Siyuan waved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand, drawing Little Fatty into it.

Then he said to Duoduo, "Call out the Qiankun Umbrella, let's visit the Netherworld."

Upon hearing this, Duoduo touched her waist and pulled out an oil paper umbrella taller than herself.

"Huh, strange. I thought without you, Potato wouldn't need me to go to the Netherworld either?" Dou Dou said.

Xiao Yue and Duoduo were also quite curious.

"I'm the Qiong Province Governor, not the Yangzhou Governor." Shen Siyuan had actually tried once last night and couldn't enter the Netherworld through the Qiong State Governor's Divine Seal, so he hypothesized this.

However, when he explained it like this, Dou Dou and Duoduo were still confused, while only Xiao Yue seemed to understand somewhat.

Shen Siyuan didn't explain further. As the Qiankun Umbrella in Duoduo's hand hovered above them and the umbrella surface began to spin, the cosmos shifted, and they found themselves in an unfamiliar land.

"Wow, what kind of place is this?" Dou Dou quickly hid behind Shen Siyuan, peeking from there.

The Netherworld in Qionghai was filled with bones and yellow sand, but here, mountains rose sharply with rugged rocks, countless peculiar peaks stretching endlessly across the land.

The rocks resembled monstrous beasts with claws and fangs, some like howling skywards, some like menacing lunges forward, and even some resembling human faces with vicious expressions, ugly and terrifying.

No wonder Dou Dou took one look and hid behind Shen Siyuan.

At this moment, they were on a path between two mountain peaks.

The path wound like a snake, stretching endlessly.

"Which way should we go?" Xiao Yue curiously asked.

Shen Siyuan did not answer. With a thought, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner emerged from behind his head, flying into the sky, growing with the wind and covering half the sky in an instant.

But within just a few seconds, it quickly retracted back into Shen Siyuan's Sea of Consciousness.

However, in that fleeting moment, Shen Siyuan had already grasped the entire terrain of the place.

"This way," Shen Siyuan pointed in a direction.

"Actually, there's no need to go through all that. I can fly up and take a look," Duoduo said.

"Oh, can you? What about that?"

Shen Siyuan smiled and pointed in the direction they were to go.

As soon as his voice fell, they saw a gray-black smoke billowing along the mountain path.

Rolling black smoke filled with Fierce Ghost residual souls wailing, cursing, and lamenting, like a hovering Hell in the sky.

Some Fierce Ghost residual souls tried to break free, but it was as if they were glued, constantly stretching out in all directions, yet being dragged forward by the black smoke.

"What is that ghostly thing?"

Duoduo was startled, quickly hiding behind Shen Siyuan, but she didn't forget to shield everyone with the Qiankun Umbrella.

Only Xiao Yue stood fearlessly in front of Shen Siyuan.

Holding the Three Pure Ones Bell, surrounded by the Soul-hooking Chain, and Netherworld Fire Fireflies fluttering up and down, emitting an eerie blue light, she looked exceptionally imposing.
