Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 2 - Dou Dou

"Pot, pot..."

The little girl's voice was both adorable and soft.

She trotted over with her plump little legs and reached out to pull Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan looked down at her, and she asked again, "Pot, can you see me?"

This time, Shen Siyuan nodded firmly.

Shen Siyuan thought she would be thrilled, but instead, she pouted, her lips trembling, tears swirling in her eyes as if she were on the verge of crying but not quite there.

"What's the matter? I can see you, so why the long face?" Shen Siyuan was utterly bewildered.

"I talk to mom and dad, but they ignore me... And Dou Dou, they don't play with me either... wu wu wu... Pot, you can see me and talk to me, I'm so happy, but... but... wah..."

The little one seemed to want to pour out all her grievances, opening her mouth wide and starting to sob loudly.

"Don't cry, please... don't cry..."

Shen Siyuan felt somewhat panicked as he rarely dealt with children and was at a loss for what to do.

"Wu wu... I miss mom and dad so much, I want to talk to them..." The little one sobbed as she wiped her tears away.

But the tears seemed endless, the more she wiped, the more they flowed.

"Talk to them? That's easy, don't cry, big brother will help you," Shen Siyuan coaxed.

Although he had no cultivation, he had inherited the legacy of a Demon Lord who was skilled in cultivation.

While resurrecting flesh on white bones was perhaps impossible, allowing the living to see a dead soul was all too simple. Just by activating the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and wrapping it with a wisp of Netherworld energy, it could easily be done, a perfect professional fit.

Shen Siyuan decided to fulfill her small wish.

"Here's what we'll do, go back first and look for me in the office after your mom gets off work, and then I'll let your mom see you."

Shen Siyuan pointed to the online game operations department where he worked.

"Really."

"Of course, would big brother lie to a little kid like you?"

"Then let's pinky promise~"

The little one stretched out her short and chubby finger.

"Alright, alright~" Shen Siyuan reluctantly bent down to pinky promise her.

"Hook fingers and it's settled for a hundred years..."

Just then, the little one suddenly tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, Pot~"

Then she turned around, spreading her little arms and making woowoo sounds, joyously imagining herself as a little airplane.

Watching her retreating figure, Shen Siyuan's eyes revealed a trace of tenderness.

Shen Siyuan was an only child at home, so naturally, no one called him "Pot."

But in his memories, the Jiu You Netherworld Lord had a sister.

Despite the Jiu You Netherworld Lord instigating numerous bloody storms and destroying countless dynasties,

Before becoming the Demon Lord, he was just the son of an ordinary farming family, named Lin San because he was the third child in the family, with an older brother and sister above him and a younger sister below.

He had little memory of his sister, who was married off early.

As for his older brother, although he was of marriageable age, the family's poverty meant he could not find a bride.

His younger sister was about the same age as the little one, always sticking to him and calling him "Pot."

Life was tough, but they were a family of good people and found happiness together.

But one year there was a severe drought, with a thousand miles of barren land, no harvest at all.

Starvation spread across the land, and people resorted to swapping children for food. First, the mother starved to death, then the robust brother.

To keep him alive, the father sold his sister for some food, giving all of it to Lin San and leaving alone just to spare that bit of sustenance.

And when Lin San saw his sister again, it was in a mass grave. Aside from the decaying head that was barely recognizable, her body was just white bones, without a shred of flesh...

It was only later that Lin San learned that the great drought wasn't natural but was caused by an elder of the Flame Sun Sect intercepting the land's veins to refine a Magical Treasure, causing the drought...

That's when Lin San had his epiphany, in the Great Wilderness, humankind was insignificant as ants. The only thing eternal was immortal cultivation, only power...

After achieving success in his cultivation, Lin San's first course of action was to annihilate the entire Flame Sun Sect, and since then, a Jiuyou Demon Lord appeared in the Cultivation World...

...

Shen Siyuan pushed open the door to the operations department and walked in.

Immediately, someone swiftly switched their computer screen, others sat up straight, and some pretended to nonchalantly put down their phones...

Once they saw it was Shen Siyuan, they immediately went back to their own business.

This is also why Shen Siyuan was willing to stick with a salary of just over five thousand a month and not resign.

Only working one day a week, with the rest of the time for play, even Manager Zhou Chuan did the same, so no one really cared.

There were eleven people in the entire operations department, nine men and two women.

Shen Siyuan sat in the second row, right across from Manager Zhou Chuan, and to his right was Li Kang, nicknamed Kang Mazi.

To his left was Wang Chao, nicknamed Brother Chao, who usually sported a buzz cut so close it seemed glued to his scalp. He looked like a ruffian, but he was a bit short. He was upright but acted a bit rashly.

The reimbursement form in Shen Siyuan's hand belonged to him.

"Re-stick it."

Shen Siyuan tossed the reimbursement form onto his desk.

"RTM, I've stuck it three times already, what's not satisfactory?" Wang Chao cursed.

Tian Yunrui, sitting across, laughed behind the partition and said, "Did you offend Mr. Fu the accountant?"

As his words fell, everyone who was previously drowsy instantly perked up.

Li Kang said, "It's definitely because last time during the dinner, Brother Chao toasted everyone from the accounting department, except Mr. Fu."

Sitting across from Li Kang, Zhang Kaixuan immediately burst out laughing, "Brother Chao, you're such a dumbass, trying to brown-nose but ended up tripping over the horse's leg. What's the point of toasting the finance department in our operations team? Are you hoping they'd give you a raise?"

Sitting back-to-back with Wang Chao, Lu Ran turned his head and said, "You know jackshit. That day, he wasn't there to toast. It was because the finance department's Liu Xintong was wearing a deep V, and he took the chance to get an eyeful of the 'thunder'..."

"F*ck... it's actually like this, Brother Chao you're really something, why didn't you give us a heads-up?"

Hearing this, everyone burst into scolding.

"Alright, alright, we have female colleagues here, mind your language..."

As the operations manager, Zhou Chuan, had to chime in even if it was just for show.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, and one of the two female colleagues, Lin Manzhi, said, "Sometimes I really don't understand you guys, why do you all like to stare at girls' chests and legs? What's so good about them?"

At her words, everyone instantly shouted out.

"Sister Lin, that's not the right way to say it..."

"Sister Lin, you probably don't understand..."

"Sister Lin, you speak mistakenly..."

...

The whole department roared with noise.

"Sis, don't be silly, alright? If men don't look at legs, butts, figures, or faces, should they look at the internal organs?"

The office was suddenly filled with a lively atmosphere.

"I don't mean that, what I mean to say is, what's the use of just looking? If you like it, go for it."

Her remark rendered everyone speechless.

Only her neighboring colleague Li Wenjuan giggled nonstop.

Guanghui Animation was a gaming company that focused on mobile game development, so there weren't many female employees, let alone beauties, but Lin Manzhi was indeed a first-class beauty.

With a pretty face and slender figure, fingers like spring onions, and especially her unique, gentle charm, she was very captivating.

She also loved to wear those professional women's suits, which added a touch of glamour to her professional beauty.

Her long legs were particularly enchanting, which naturally made her the object of everyone's covert glances. The only downside was that she was already married, her husband worked in the neighboring design institute, and they had a son the year before last, leading a very happy and content life.

Indeed, once a woman gets married, transforming from a girl into a married woman, not only does her lower lip loosen, but her upper lip as well.

With chuckles and laughter, it was soon time to get off work. Some had already shut down their computers, some had already made plans with friends, just waiting for the time to dash off on the dot.

This was the reason why Shen Siyuan was unwilling to resign despite the low salary because working here was really comfortable, and it would be difficult to find such a job elsewhere.

Shen Siyuan didn't leave, as the little brat had already come looking for him, standing by his side with a pitiful look.
