Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 969 - 965: Night

Every time time travel occurs, the memories of the villagers in Stone Grinding Village are reset, so they themselves are completely unaware that they have died once, or several times.

However, time travel has more or less had some effect on the villagers, whether it’s residual memories or echoes of the river of time, causing their personalities to slowly change.

Considering the time travel excluding Shen Siyuan’s recent experience, they have traveled in time three times, which means they have lived one hundred and eighty years if calculated based on each person’s lifespan of sixty years.

This has made them calm, indifferent, and overall, their emotions are incredibly stable.

This is also why the villagers of Stone Grinding Village were not too surprised by the various mystical behaviors exhibited by Shen Siyuan and his group.

In fact, they were more delighted by the unexpected arrival rather than the mysteries.

Understanding the cause of events, Shen Siyuan didn’t continue staying on the altar but transformed into a ray of light and flew down to Stone Grinding Village.

That night, he not only found a way to leave but also deciphered the secrets of Stone Grinding Village. More importantly, he used the Contemplation Method to imprint the altar in his Sea of Consciousness, allowing him to enter this world from anywhere.

The reason for this is because this world is similar to the Netherworld, layered atop the real world, with the altar serving as a beacon. With the beacon, it’s possible to enter and exit this location anytime.

Of course, it’s also possible to use another approach, which is through Duoduo’s Qiankun Umbrella to traverse this space, considering her Qiankun Umbrella can effortlessly shuttle through the Netherworld.

However, Shen Siyuan temporarily chooses not to disrupt the tranquility of Stone Grinding Village, allowing the villagers to continue living in this piece of pure land.

Under the moonlight, Shen Siyuan’s silhouette appeared exceptionally upright, with the altar in his Sea of Consciousness gently rotating, emitting a faint glow, resonating with the altar in reality, controlling the alternate space deep within Qinling.

Returning to the camper van by the village, Xiao Yue, Duoduo, and Dou Dou immediately gathered around him.

"Potato, how is it? Did you discover anything?" Dou Dou asked, her little face full of curiosity.

"Why are kids asking so many questions?" Shen Siyuan lightly pinched her chubby little face, causing her to protest and open her mouth wanting to bite his finger.

Hearing Shen Siyuan’s words, Xiao Yue didn’t continue questioning.

Instead, she changed the topic: "When are we leaving? How are we leaving?"

"Me."

Duoduo proudly raised her little hand.

When everyone looked at her, she said proudly, "I can take you away anytime."

"Wow, you’re amazing," Dou Dou exclaimed with admiration.

"Hehe~"

It’s rare for Dou Dou to praise anyone, making Duoduo exceptionally happy.

But she hadn’t been happy for even a few seconds when Dou Dou spoke again: "Why didn’t you say so earlier? You made Potato so worried, Potato—how~"

Shen Siyuan: ...

"I didn’t, stop saying that." Hearing this, Duoduo became anxious, trying to explain to Shen Siyuan.

She hadn’t thought of it before, and Shen Siyuan hadn’t asked.

Only when Shen Siyuan mentioned finding the exit did she remember.

"Alright, I didn’t blame you, and I already knew," Shen Siyuan said, amused, while patting her little head.

"Brother~"

Duoduo tilted her head, relieved to see Shen Siyuan genuinely not blaming her.

Then she turned her gaze, looking angrily at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou: →_→

"Oh? What’s that?" She suddenly asked in surprise, pointing behind Duoduo, who instinctively turned her head to look.

Taking advantage of the moment, Dou Dou transformed into a gust of Yin Wind and shot into the sky.

"Don’t run." Reacting quickly, Duoduo immediately pursued.

"Oh, honestly..." Xiao Yue grumbled in discontent.

"They’re just kids, let them be," Shen Siyuan said with a laugh, comforting Xiao Yue.

"Brother is just too easygoing," Xiao Yue said.

"Then what should I do?" Shen Siyuan asked, amused.

"They need a good lesson, so they learn not to be so naughty," Xiao Yue said.

Shen Siyuan chuckled, patting her little head.

"The main thing about life is to be happy."

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes, "Brother, I watch TVB too."

"Haha..." Shen Siyuan laughed heartily.

"Why don’t you rest early? We’ll leave when morning comes."

"Will we come back later?" Xiao Yue asked in anticipation.

"Do you really like this place?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Xiao Yue nodded.

This is not just an idyllic Peach Garden but also seems to be a piece of pure land in people’s hearts.

"Of course we’ll return, we have Duoduo, we can come back anytime."

"Yes~" Xiao Yue’s eyes brightened with joy.

Then she too transformed into a gust of Yin Wind, intending to bring back Dou Dou and Duoduo.

Shen Siyuan didn’t concern himself with them but entered the space capsule.

In the space capsule, only Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi were there; Xiao Ya was resting in the camper van with Tang Tang, and Mao Sanmei was taking care of them, so he was at ease.

As for Little Grey, he returned once more to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Don’t think the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is lonely; in reality, Shen Siyuan has imprinted much of Bin Hai into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. For Little Grey, it’s a huge treasure trove waiting to be explored, full of surprises and wonders.

Shen Siyuan’s movement to rest woke Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi.

With Shen Siyuan present, the two were not worried at all, even if trapped in this Peach Garden, they continued to eat and drink as usual.

Ruan Hongzhuang rubbed her eyes and sat up: "You’re back? How is it, any results at the altar?"

"Yes, all clear now. Continue sleeping, we’ll leave first thing tomorrow."

Ruan Hongzhuang yawned and said, "If we can go anytime, I’d like to stay a few more days. Haven’t you noticed how beautiful the environment is here and how stunning the buildings in Stone Grinding Village are?"

Shen Siyuan nodded, not denying it.

Since every dynasty had people "wandering" here by mistake, the architecture of Stone Grinding Village doesn’t combine all architectural styles throughout history but melds them into a unique village cluster.

"If you wish, we can stay a few more days," Shen Siyuan said.

"Forget it. Let’s not waste all our time here. I’ll accompany you for another stretch of the journey but then need to return to Bin Hai. There’s a lot of work waiting at the company."

"Alright, there will be another chance," Shen Siyuan wasn’t bothered.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang yawned again and stretched lazily, and as her arms returned, the straps of her purple nightdress slipped, revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest.

Noticing Shen Siyuan’s gaze, Ruan Hongzhuang leaned forward slightly, "Will Xiao Yue and the others come back?"

"Don’t worry, they won’t."

Shen Siyuan made a gesture, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner emitted a bluish glow encompassing the space capsule, thus blocking the three little ones outside.

Soon their intimate movements awakened the nearby sleeping Taozi, who was then hazily brought into the fray.
