Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 944 - 940: Breaking Free from Restraints

"Was everything he said just now true?"

Once out of the Jade Emperor Temple, Xiao Yue curiously asked Shen Siyuan.

"As long as he is under the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the truth doesn’t really matter," Shen Siyuan replied.

Xiao Yue seemed to understand and didn’t pursue the matter further.

Back at the camp, they saw Duoduo and Dou Dou, one standing outside the space capsule, the other standing at the door of the RV, like two guardian spirits, solemn and serious.

But when they saw Shen Siyuan return, they both let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Is Tang Tang okay?"

Duoduo’s gaze fell on Tang Tang in Shen Siyuan’s arms, with a subtle hint of concern.

"Did she encounter any bad guys?" Dou Dou asked with concern.

"Neither, she’s just fine, only asleep."

Shen Siyuan said, quietly entering the RV and placing Tang Tang back in her spot.

Perhaps Little Grey had used some trick, as Mao Sanmei was sleeping deeply beside Tang Tang, completely unaware of her nocturnal adventure.

"Alright, everything’s fine, you all go back to sleep too."

Shen Siyuan closed the RV door again.

"I want to go back and take another look." Xiao Yue said.

Shen Siyuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "You three go together, if anything happens, come straight back to me."

Shen Siyuan wasn’t worried about any of the little ones encountering danger, as the Ten Thousand Soul Banner protected their true spirits; nothing could truly harm them.

Thus, being under the Ten Thousand Soul Banner had many benefits, of course, provided they had a good Banner Master.

Watching the three little ones turn into Yin Wind and disappear, Shen Siyuan also went back into the space capsule to sleep.

The morning light at the campsite slipped through the curtains and into the vehicle, and Tang Tang was the first to wake.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, her little head still a bit foggy as if from a hangover, until she caught sight of Shen Siyuan through the gap and suddenly became clear-headed, promptly turning over to sit up, ready to run off the bed with her short legs.

But Mao Sanmei was prepared and grabbed her firmly.

"Ah~" Mao Sanmei glared at her, blaming her for still using the same trick.

"Han~"

Tang Tang grinned foolishly as her mother helped her get dressed, then got off the vehicle.

She ran over to Shen Siyuan, tugging at his pant leg, her small face lifted, gesturing energetically.

"Oh~ oh~"

She raised her little arms high, imitating the motion of flying, occasionally letting out soft "ah~" calls, her eyes sparkling, obviously talking about last night’s dream.

Shen Siyuan crouched down, stroked her soft hair, and asked with a smile, "Did you dream about flying? And meeting a little boy?"

Tang Tang nodded vigorously.

"Han~"

She chuckled foolishly, then pointed in the direction of the Jade Emperor Temple, and Shen Siyuan understood—though she was asleep last night, she knew everything that happened was reflected in her dreams in a different form.

"Come on, let’s wash up first, then we’ll go buy you something tasty."

Shen Siyuan held her hand and walked back. Just two steps away, Dou Dou and Duoduo came out of the space capsule.

They had gone to see Little Grey with Xiao Yue last night, only returning when dawn broke, but they seemed to have been very impressed by Little Grey.

"Potato, are you going to the Jade Emperor Temple later?" Dou Dou asked.

"Of course, didn’t you say Little Grey agreed to come with us?" Shen Siyuan said.

"Yes, now he can have Locust Flower Cake again, and I want to taste it too, hehe..."

"I think you’re the one who wants to eat it." Duoduo said from the side.

Her words reminded Shen Siyuan, who took out his phone and searched. There was indeed a place selling Locust Flower Cake, so he placed an order.

While waiting for the food delivery, everyone washed and tidied up briefly, Tang Tang stuck closely to Shen Siyuan, occasionally pointing at the phone and asking eagerly, "Oh~," clearly impatient to meet Little Grey.

Half an hour later, the delivery arrived.

Shen Siyuan carried the bag containing Locust Flower Cake, leading Tang Tang, Dou Dou, and Duoduo to the Jade Emperor Temple.

As soon as they entered the temple gate, they smelled the fresh scent of the old locust tree, its branches swaying in the wind as if waiting for them to arrive.

Xiao Yue was standing under the old locust tree and, upon seeing them, immediately greeted them. She had stayed there all night instead of returning with Dou Dou and Duoduo.

"Little Grey, we’re here!"

Dou Dou rushed into the main hall, shouting loudly, but didn’t see anyone.

Duoduo cautiously followed Shen Siyuan, took out the Locust Flower Cake from the bag, and gently placed it on the offering table, "Little Grey, we brought you Locust Flower Cake."

As soon as the words fell, an azure figure floated out from behind the Jade Emperor Statue; it was Little Grey.

When he saw the Locust Flower Cake on the offering table, his eyes lit up instantly, his face full of surprise, as he quickly walked to the table, cautiously reaching out, only daring to lightly brush over the cake, bringing his nose close to sniff and sighing contentedly, "How fragrant, but the taste is a bit different."

Of course, it’s different; the Locust Flower Cake his mother made likely used native locust flowers, which bloom in June and July, while this season’s locust flowers may be from a different variety.

Nonetheless, Little Grey felt satisfied.

Unfortunately, he was a Spiritual Body and couldn’t truly touch the food, only smell its aroma, a faint trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Tang Tang saw this and approached the offering table, picked up a piece of Locust Flower Cake, and handed it to Little Grey.

"Han~"

Grinning foolishly, she wanted to share with him.

Little Grey is a ghost, unable to become visible, so theoretically, Tang Tang couldn’t see him, and indeed she didn’t.

But for Tang Tang, it didn’t matter; in her eyes, Little Grey presented himself in an extremely special hue.

Little Grey looked at her silly smile and couldn’t help but laugh, "Thank you, I can’t eat it, but I know it must taste very good."

He said this in vain, as Tang Tang couldn’t hear him at all.

"Dou Dou said you’ve made up your mind? You’re willing to leave with us?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Little Grey looked up at Shen Siyuan, then at Tang Tang, Dou Dou, and Duoduo beside him, his gaze gradually becoming firm, he nodded slowly, "Yes! I want to leave with you, I’ve stayed here too long, so long that I want to see the outside world..."

Shen Siyuan didn’t waste any words upon hearing this, with a thought, he moved his fingers into a dharma gesture, directly capturing Little Grey into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

As Little Grey disappeared, the Jade Emperor Statue beside him seemed to lose a certain divine charm, becoming truly a clay sculpture.

Shen Siyuan didn’t know yet, this wasn’t the worst; a distant Jade Emperor Statue even cracked and collapsed.

"Oh?"

Tang Tang circled around Shen Siyuan, occasionally reaching out to tickle him, seemingly trying to find Little Grey on him.

Shen Siyuan smiled, moved his fingers into a dharma gesture, directly releasing Little Grey from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Little Grey looked down at his palm, the previous sense of weakness was completely gone, his whole being seemed free from a certain indescribable confinement, feeling a freedom like a bird soaring in the open sky.

"Go outside and try it."

Shen Siyuan smiled and pointed towards the Jade Emperor Temple’s main gate. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Little Grey followed the direction he pointed, his eyes seemed to gradually glisten with tears...
