Chapter 684: Chapter 684

Thanks to the modern development of internet short videos, Shen Siyuan quickly found a tourist spot and then let Duoduo give it a try after watching.

But obviously, he overthought it, since Duoduo couldn’t teleport herself to a place she had never been to, even if she had detailed images in her mind.

It seems that places she has visited leave some kind of mark.

Asking Duoduo didn’t yield any conclusive response, as for her, everything is intuitive; it works if it works, and doesn’t if it doesn’t, without any particular reason.

This was quite disappointing for Shen Siyuan, but it didn’t matter, as nowadays transportation is so advanced, so taking her to a few more places would make future trips much more convenient.

"Alright, you can go play with Dou Dou and the others."

Seeing Duoduo still standing beside and looking up at him, Shen Siyuan sent her off first.

Then, immersing his consciousness again into the Sea of Consciousness, he saw the Ten Thousand Soul Banner floating above it. Without hesitation, Shen Siyuan invested another fifty strands of Merit to repair the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Originally, he had ninety-two strands of Merit left, and after investing fifty strands, there should be forty-two strands remaining. But in just half an hour, Shen Siyuan acquired three more strands of Merit, so he now had forty-five strands in total.

However, even so, considering one act of charity yields one strand of Merit, at most, Tao Guangsha and Lin Libo’s families could bring about six thousand strands of Merit to Shen Siyuan, because he asked them for three thousand good deeds. Even though they might exceed this number in practice, it wouldn’t be by much, and this amount was still just a drop in the bucket for repairing the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

At this point, Shen Siyuan recalled that Zhong Xiaonan had recently asked him for a "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill," curious about how things turned out. If it worked well, they could continue cooperating.

However, requiring charitable acts under his name pushed by the state, large-scale charity benefiting millions shouldn’t be out of reach.

In this way, thoroughly repairing the Ten Thousand Soul Banner would no longer be just his fantasy.

Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as this matter made him so gleeful.

"What are you laughing about?" Dou Dou’s voice came from the side at this moment.

Turning his head, Shen Siyuan saw Dou Dou blinking her big eyes, looking at him curiously, with Tang Tang behind her, holding a rattle drum.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s gaze fall on her, she immediately waved the rattle drum twice and let out an "oh," looking adorably silly.

"What are you laughing about? Tell us so we can laugh too," Dou Dou continued to ask.

"I was thinking if I should spank your butt," Shen Siyuan said, reaching out to grab her.

Dou Dou screamed and turned to run away.

"Potato, you’re a big meanie," she shouted while running. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Tang Tang, still unaware of what was happening, stood there foolishly smiling at Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan reached out to pick her up, letting her ride on his leg.

"I’m going out for a few days in the afternoon; you must be good and behave at home, okay?"

Shen Siyuan lightly bumped his forehead against the little one’s forehead.

"What about Dou Dou?"

"What about Sister Duoduo?"

"Of course, she’s coming too."

"And Sister Xiao Yue..." At this point, Tang Tang started getting a little upset.

"She’ll be coming too."

The little one wrinkled her nose, glaring at Shen Siyuan.

"Sister Ruan Ruan and Sister Taozi will be home with you..." Shen Siyuan quickly comforted.

"I’ll take them." Tang Tang pointed back at herself.

"That won’t work; you’ll stay home with mom."

Tang Tang glared like an angry little puppy, trying to intimidate Shen Siyuan into relenting and taking her along.

But Shen Siyuan found her adorable and pinched her little cheek.

"You can’t this time, maybe next time."

Shen Siyuan had already bought the tickets, and Tang Tang isn’t like Dou Dou and the others who could directly enter the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang stared intently at Shen Siyuan, seemingly judging if he was being truthful, her small mouth starting to pout as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don’t cry now," Shen Siyuan said, a bit flustered, wiping the tears from her eyes.

This was the first time he’d seen the little one cry.

Before, she was always grinning naively, seemingly carefree.

But his attempts to comfort seemed to backfire, as Tang Tang suddenly burst into loud crying.

"Alright, alright..."

Busy comforting her, Shen Siyuan felt a sudden gust of wind roaring outside the balcony, bending the trees in the neighborhood and churning the distant sea into towering waves crashing onto the shore.

The previously clear blue sky began to gather dark clouds, and within a blink, torrential rain poured down from above, an intangible aura enveloping the world as if the entire cosmos were lamenting.

Shen Siyuan was dumbstruck, unsure if the scene before him was related to Tang Tang, feeling it was incredibly exaggerated.

So, just because I’m not taking you along, you’re making heaven and earth mourn?

If this rain continues, today’s flight might get thoroughly washed out.

Watching the still wailing little one, Shen Siyuan didn’t try to console her further. Instead, he pressed his forehead against Tang Tang’s, instantly connecting their consciousness.

What he saw was a gorgeous world, where Tang Tang’s cries sent out visible ripples that spread and shook, calling upon the wind, causing chaos among various ever-present colors, expanding in range due to the wind, ultimately resonating with her world.

It was utterly astounding, as was the realization of how such a small person’s cries could trigger such massive chain reactions.

"Little Tangdou, why are you crying? Did Potato bully you?"

Unaware of when Dou Dou returned, she saw Tang Tang crying on Shen Siyuan’s lap and reached out, wanting to pull her down.

"Little Tangdou? Is that the name you gave her?" Shen Siyuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yep, isn’t it pretty?"

Dou Dou was full of pride, then reached out to pinch Tang Tang’s little face.

"Don’t cry; if you keep crying, you won’t be sweet anymore. Little Tangdou will become Little Bitterdou, and I’ve tasted it; tears are bitter..."

Tang Tang paid no attention to her words and, seeing her tugging at her face, promptly used the rattle drum in her hands to tap Dou Dou’s head.

Dou Dou widened her eyes in surprise, thinking, ’I came here to comfort you and you hit me?’

Without hesitation, she retaliated by pinching Tang Tang’s nose.

Inflamed by Dou Dou’s provocation, Tang Tang forgot her tears, and they began to wrestle together.

Meanwhile, the heavy rain swiftly ceased, clouds dispersed, and wind died down. The world, washed by rain, appeared renewed, seemingly sharper and more vibrant in color.

Shen Siyuan pulled out his phone and dialed Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Is it possible to add an extra ticket for the afternoon flight?"
