Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 441 Revenge

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Revenge

"Mom, stop making things difficult for the master. He’s already helped us save Dad, it’s already... already..."

The girl said this partly out of kindness and partly because she was shy and felt it was impolite to keep troubling others.

"Why don’t you get up first and then talk." Shen Siyuan said.

However, the girl’s mother did not get up and continued to plead, "Master, I beg you, please have mercy, take pity on us..."

Shen Siyuan frowned. Hadn’t he been merciful enough? Besides, her words seemed a bit like moral coercion.

"Mom, stop it. You can’t expect the master to kill people for you, right?" the girl scolded.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan looked at her with newfound respect. To express such thoughts, she must have a good heart.

The girl’s mother, hearing this, also froze and moved her lips, but couldn’t say anything in the end.

"I can give you the power for revenge," Shen Siyuan said.

The mother and daughter’s eyes brightened, and they looked delighted.

"However, you must think it through. After killing someone, you will become just like them."

Shen Siyuan pointed to the side, where several dead souls, driven by Karmic Fire, wandered aimlessly, looking grotesque and moving slowly. When they bumped into passersby, the human’s three fires would immolate them, causing them to shriek miserably. It was truly horrifying to behold.

"Were... were they all like this because they killed people?" The girl’s mother asked incredulously.

"Of course not. It’s not just about killing; other actions can also entangle one with karma..."

Shen Siyuan explained to them what karma was.

"Isn’t revenge okay? A life for a life; it’s only fair," the girl said, puzzled.

"Karma is already a punishment."

"But... but... the person is dead, so what can karma do?" the girl’s mother said defiantly.

Shen Siyuan didn’t know how to answer. Perhaps when the Underworld still existed, there were more punishments. But now, with the Netherworld path blocked, karma’s heavenly punishment seemed weaker, making it feel unjust.

"So, do you still want revenge now?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"No."

"Of course."

It wasn’t the girl who answered. The one who answered "of course" was the girl’s mother.

"Mom."

The girl’s mother turned back to look deeply at her daughter.

"If I don’t seek revenge, even if I die, I’ll keep this anger bottled up inside me. Our good family was destroyed by this bastard; how can I be content?" the girl’s mother said each word with hatred and resentment in her eyes.

The death of her daughter, her own paralysis, and the pressure of life brought her too much pain, and even death couldn’t make her let go.

While the girl was still speaking, the girl’s mother kneeled down to Shen Siyuan again.

"Hope the Mage fulfills my wish."

As she spoke, she kowtowed several times.

"Alright, since it’s your choice, I respect your decision."

Shen Siyuan didn’t waste any more words. With a thought and a gesture, an invisible force captured the two of them into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Is it over?"

Seeing Shen Siyuan walking towards her, Ruan Hongzhuang put away her phone.

"Mm, who were you chatting with?" Shen Siyuan nodded, casually asked.

Ruan Hongzhuang was taken aback, then laughed, "What, are you jealous?"

"Of course not."

"It’s okay even if you are."

Ignoring her teasing, Shen Siyuan turned and shouted to the kids, "Let’s go, we’re heading back."

Duoduo and Dou Dou, like little monkeys, were hanging from the gym rings, swinging their little legs.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue walked over, plucking them off one by one and holding them in her hands, walking towards Shen Siyuan. The two little ones looked bewildered, making Ruan Hongzhuang laugh.

Then she linked arms with Shen Siyuan and said, "I was chatting with Taozi; she asked when we’re going back."

"I was just asking casually."

"Alright, you don’t need to explain; I understand."

Ruan Hongzhuang pretended to understand everything, leaving Shen Siyuan speechless. What do you really understand? Seems like you’re just trying to tease me.

"Are we taking a cab back, or will you keep carrying me?"

"What do you think?"

"Won’t carrying me tire you out?" Ruan Hongzhuang retorted.

"With your weight, it feels like I’m just wearing an extra piece of clothing," Shen Siyuan said disdainfully.

A man who prides himself on his strength, how could he back off at such a moment?

"In that case, keep carrying me."

Ruan Hongzhuang spread her arms and unceremoniously flopped onto Shen Siyuan’s back.

Only then did she realize, reaching to tug at his ear.

"Oh, you called me clothing, are you planning to change me?"

"I didn’t say that, you did."

"But you must have thought it, even just thinking is not allowed..."

Shen Siyuan lifted her slightly, adjusted her position with his forearm and hand to support her better.

Having already become close, they were beyond being shy, so carrying her wasn’t the same as carrying Taozi.

She playfully squirmed on his back; he laughed as he walked.

"For someone your age to be carried, I don’t need anyone to carry me," Dou Dou said quietly from behind.

"Not at all, you not only want to be carried, you ride on me," Duoduo said angrily.

"That was just for fun, you didn’t let me ride in the end. How about you let me ride now, even just for a little bit? →_→"

"I think you need a spanking," Duoduo clenched her little fist.

"Hmph, you think that scares me? I have fists too," Dou Dou waved her little hand.

"Then I won’t play with you," Duoduo said angrily.

"Then I’ll play with Sister Xiao Yue," Dou Dou said triumphantly.

"I’m not playing with you," Xiao Yue said promptly.

Dou Dou’s smile froze, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"But I like you so much, why won’t you play with me?"

"Just because you like me, doesn’t mean I have to play with you. It’s not like I like you," Xiao Yue said coolly.

"Saying that would really hurt a child... a child could become very sad, you know."

Dou Dou pouted, her mouth quivering, on the verge of tears.

Xiao Yue was taken aback. I was just saying whatever, and you actually took it seriously.

"It’s okay, after enough sadness, you get used to it."

Duoduo patted Dou Dou’s back for comfort, which seemed to help a little.

That’s nonsense; she’s more upset than before. What do you mean, you get used to sadness?

"Do you, do you like Duoduo and want to play with her?"

"You’re both the same. I’m not playing with either of you," Xiao Yue said.

Okay, this was real comfort; Dou Dou wasn’t upset anymore. Happily, she told Duoduo, "We’re the same; no one wants to play with us. Let’s play together instead."

Duoduo thought about it and realized this made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

"Now we’re good friends," Dou Dou whispered in Duoduo’s ear.

Duoduo nodded.

"Since we’re good friends, could you let me ride again? Oh well, you could carry me too," Dou Dou said expectantly.

Duoduo clenched her little fist and gave a punch.

"Wow~, why are you hitting me?" Dou Dou turned and ran.

Duoduo chased after her.

The two little ones started playing around again.

Following behind, Xiao Yue had a faint smile on her lips.
