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

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1221: I Am a Pig

After Tao Guangsha and his wife watched the surveillance, they realized Dou Dou had returned.

Seeing the little one searching all over the house for them, the couple couldn’t help but let their parental love overflow.

So they directly called Taozi to ask if Dou Dou was with her.

"Huh? Didn’t she go back?" Taozi was somewhat surprised.

"She came back, but we’re not home, and now we don’t know where she went," Jiang Wenxin said.

"I’m not sure then, maybe she went off to play somewhere again." Taozi said casually.

After all, Dou Dou often runs around, and she was already used to it.

Jiang Wenxin could only helplessly ask Taozi to let them know if she saw Dou Dou, so they could call them.

At this moment, Dou Dou was at Sister Huang’s home enjoying a feast, having all but forgotten about her longing for her parents.

She even considered living with Huang Cailan in the future.

"Sister Huang, you’re my best friend, I want to live with you and be your baby."

The little one declared her grand aspiration with a mouth full of food.

"Don’t you want your parents?" Duoduo eyed her skeptically from the side.

"Parents are parents, you can have lots of good friends."

"But if you want to be Sister Huang’s baby, doesn’t that mean you want her to be your mom?"

"Being a baby has nothing to do with a mom, you can be my baby too." Dou Dou said innocently.

"I won’t be your baby, you’re even younger than me." Duoduo felt it was pointless to argue with her.

"I’m the little baby, you’re the big baby, Sister Xiao Yue... uh..."

Xiao Yue shot her a look, scaring her into silence.

"Scaring a child who’s eating isn’t right..." she muttered softly.

Huang Cailan patted her head and said happily, "In the future, I’d also like a cute little baby like you."

"Oh, does Sister Huang want to marry someone? Who are you going to marry?" Dou Dou said with delight.

"I didn’t say I was getting married." Huang Cailan chuckled and cried.

"If you don’t marry, how will you have a baby? You have to get married first, in this matter, I’m very experienced." Dou Dou said seriously.

Huang Cailan almost spat out her food, what do you mean you have experience, do you even know what you’re saying?

"I don’t even have a boyfriend, how could I get married?"

"Boyfriend?"

Dou Dou’s gaze went to Duoduo, then to Xiao Yue, and under their odd gazes, she slapped her forehead excitedly and said, "I know now."

"Know what?" Huang Cailan asked curiously.

"You can marry Potato." Dou Dou suggested.

"Uh..." Huang Cailan was a little shy as she gently tapped the little one.

"Your Potato has a wife, that’s your Sister Ruan."

At the last wedding, Huang Cailan had attended, so she naturally knew this.

"That’s not right."

"What’s not right?"

"My aunt is also his wife."

"Don’t talk nonsense, your Sister Ruan will get angry." Huang Cailan quickly said.

"I’m not talking nonsense, they even hug and kiss." As Dou Dou said this, she pouted and hugged herself, looking comedic.

Upon hearing this, Huang Cailan looked at Xiao Yue in astonishment.

Only Xiao Yue could explain what this was about.

Xiao Yue nodded calmly, "Brother is a philanderer, after the New Year, he’s going to hold a wedding with Sister Taozi too."

"Oh, you’re saying Potato is a philanderer, I’m going to tell him." Dou Dou seemed to have caught a slip-up from Xiao Yue and was thrilled.

Xiao Yue disdainfully ignored her.

But Dou Dou was lost in the joy of imagining Potato spanking Sister Xiao Yue for this.

"Uh... doesn’t Miss Ruan mind?" Huang Cailan wasn’t too surprised but was curious about their relationship.

She wasn’t surprised because several wives were common in Bin Hai, Min Yue, and Lingnan.

"I haven’t seen her, but the two of them get along very well." Xiao Yue thought for a moment.

Huang Cailan fell into deep thought upon hearing that.

Just then, a little face suddenly came up close, giving her a scare.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you also want to be Potato’s wife?" Dou Dou said seriously.

Huang Cailan’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

She reached out and pinched the little face, no wonder everyone wants to spank her, this little one is indeed provoking.

Duoduo laughed widely from the side, while Xiao Yue looked at Huang Cailan with suspicion.

Huang Cailan didn’t care what Dou Dou and Duoduo thought, but she definitely had to consider Xiao Yue’s thoughts, as she was not as easily fooled as the two little ones.

"Don’t listen to Dou Dou’s nonsense, I respect Brother Shen very much." Huang Cailan said.

"Oh?" Xiao Yue responded meaningfully.

But her next line seemed to push a switch in Dou Dou.

Suddenly she said blankly, "I kind of miss Tang Tang."

Then she took the half-eaten chicken leg from her bowl and set it aside, "I’ll take this back for her to eat."

"It’s all dirty, who would eat yours?" Duoduo said dismissively.

"Tang Tang will eat it, oh?"

She mimicked Tang Tang’s way of speaking and made herself happy again.

Seeing the bright smile on her face, the others couldn’t help but smile too; this little thing really was both lovable and frustrating.

But in the end, she abandoned the idea, not because she worried Tang Tang would dislike it, but because she felt it wouldn’t taste good once cold, definitely not because she wanted to eat it herself.

After indulging and being satisfied, Xiao Yue and Huang Cailan went to the yard to tend to the flowers.

Dou Dou and Duoduo lay on the recliners under the porch, patting their tummies, enjoying the breeze, an indescribable comfort.

Dou Dou even sat cross-legged, wanting to sing a few lines, but not knowing much, she snorted like a little piglet.

Duoduo laughed at her and then hummed lightly.

"Mr. Yue, Xiu Qian Yuan. Ride a white horse, cross the deep pond, the pond is deep, and the water hasn’t touched..."

The song was sung in Hakka, which Dou Dou had tried to learn before, but she never picked it up.

"Listen and not understand, sing and not manage; I am a little dumb pig, snoring in sleep, oink oink, I am a pig, a little pink pig, eating and oink oink..." Dou Dou sang while patting her tummy in rhythm.

Duoduo almost laughed herself to tears.

From afar, Huang Cailan and Xiao Yue were shaking with laughter, barely holding onto their gardening tools.

Dou Dou didn’t care, continuing to sway and sing.

However, their leisurely time was confined to the day, as they were summoned back by Shen Siyuan that night.

After conquering Yangzhou, Shen Siyuan set his sights on other parts of the Netherworld.

Currently, he had command over quite a few squads—Wu, Shen, Hai, Mao, and Si ghost soldiers—making his forces strong. Given the strength, he naturally wanted to expand his territories rather than let them idle.

He also suspected there might be reserves or treasures left by great powers who had departed this world in other parts of the Netherworld.

Shen Siyuan guessed that those great powers from the myths left this world not due to evil, as Shen Siyuan himself could deal with these evils, so those great powers certainly could too.

Moreover, he had learned from Qi Gai that those great powers departed because of the spiritual energy tide.

Spiritual energy, like tides, when it rises, nourishes the surrounding world, filling it with energy and benefiting all life.

But tides ebb as well, leading to a depletion of spiritual energy. Without it, various Magic and Divine Skills become like water without a source, resulting in the extinction of the Immortal Dao, leading to the so-called End of Dharma Tribulation.

So those great powers migrated away from this world.

But their departure didn’t mean they were willing for this world to be ravaged by evil, so they left some legacies and backhands, perhaps hoping to return one day. After all, for them, the Divine, it was no loss to leave these behind.
