CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 510 MR. SWEET POTATO

"Is that your wife? →_→"

Although the scruffy man had learned quite a bit from Dou Dou, Dou Dou also gathered some information from him.

Mainly because Dou Dou was so young, people instinctively let their guard down around her.

"Why, doesn’t she look like it?"

Dou Dou shook her head directly, saying honestly, "You’re so ugly, but the big sister is really pretty."

"I’m because... because..."

The scruffy man wanted to defend himself, but in the end, he sighed deeply and gave up; his current appearance was indeed not ideal.

"What’s wrong? Do you miss your wife?" Dou Dou looked up, curiously staring at the man.

"Nothing, it’s you who should be careful running around everywhere. It’s really dangerous."

The scruffy man pointed to some oddly shaped wandering souls nearby. Some of them might suddenly become violent and attack other lost souls. If both were mindless wandering souls, they would devour each other, becoming something even stranger.

But if a regular ghost got attacked, it would be like falling into quicksand, and it could also get consumed by the other soul’s desires, ultimately becoming part of the other ghost’s body.

Adults naturally didn’t fear these slow-moving wandering souls, but for children, it was a whole different story. They could definitely be devoured if they weren’t careful.

"Hmph, I’m not afraid at all." Dou Dou put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

"Right, I forgot, you have an axe."

"No, that’s not it! I can breathe fire! I’m a fire-breathing dragon, roar, roar, roar..."

Dou Dou lifted her head to the sky, roared twice, and then a stream of blue flame shot out from her mouth.

The scruffy man instantly felt a chill down his spine, as if he was facing a tremendous horror, and quickly retreated.

The wandering souls nearby also seemed to sense the danger. Although they didn’t have consciousness, instinctively they scrambled and crawled away as far as they could go.

"Alright, alright, I know you’re powerful..." the scruffy man hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Dou Dou stopped her divine skills.

She said proudly, "Am I awesome?"

"Amazing, truly amazing... what on earth are you?" the scruffy man asked, his voice trembling a little.

Everyone’s a ghost, so why are you different? Why are you different unless you’re not human?

This sounded like an insult, but luckily Dou Dou was just a kid and didn’t catch on, simply scratching her head and saying, "I’m just a kid."

Scruffy man: ...

The scruffy man sighed again, feeling he hadn’t sighed as much since he died as he did today.

He didn’t dwell on the matter any longer, instead asking, "We’ve been chatting, but I still don’t know your name?"

"I’m Dou Dou."

"Dou Dou, that’s a really cute name."

"Of course, my dad gave it to me. Strange uncle, what’s your name?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"I’m Guan Beihai, but why do you call me strange uncle?"

"Because you’re weird, hehe..."

After saying this, she turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" Guan Beihai hurriedly asked.

"I’m going to play with Potato." Dou Dou replied.

"You’re just leaving like that?"

"Why not?"

Guan Beihai sighed again, then said, "That’s too dangerous. Do you know where your Potato is? Do you know the way?"

"Potato is over there." Dou Dou pointed directly.

As a Fan Soul, she naturally knew where the Banner Master was, but to Guan Beihai, it looked like she was pointing randomly.

So Guan Beihai said, "Better let me take you there."

"Do you want to meet Potato?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"Uh, yeah, I’d like to meet him." Guan Beihai said.

He was indeed somewhat curious about this Potato Dou Dou kept talking about.

"Oh, so you have unfinished wishes," Dou Dou realized.

"What wishes? What do you mean?" Guan Beihai asked confusedly.

"Potato said that ghosts with unfulfilled wishes can find him, and he can help them fulfill those wishes."

"Really?" Guan Beihai’s eyes widened, brimming with delight upon hearing this.

"Of course it’s true, didn’t I just say it?" Dou Dou scratched her little head.

Guan Beihai: ...

"You didn’t."

"Haha, I forgot."

This little one looked a bit silly; it was unclear what her connection to Potato was.

"Can you take me to him?" Guan Beihai asked, full of hope.

"Of course."

Dou Dou agreed without hesitation because Shen Siyuan had instructed that anyone who didn’t look too bizarre could be brought to him.

Though this uncle was still a bit odd, it was mainly due to messy hair and a lot of facial hair, easily discernible for Dou Dou.

"Then let’s go." Guan Beihai said immediately.

He was eager to meet this powerful Mr. Sweet Potato.

He already understood the meaning behind "Potato," but until now, he hadn’t understood "Mr.," though thinking it related to a name, calling him Mr. Sweet Potato seemed appropriate.

"Alrighty."

Dou Dou responded and stirred up a yin wind, soaring into the sky.

Once airborne, she realized strange uncle couldn’t fly and looked down. Sure enough, the strange uncle was standing with eyes widened, mouth agape, looking up in amazement.

Dou Dou landed with a bit of embarrassment and said, "Sorry, I forgot you can’t fly."

Guan Beihai: ...

"Now I really believe you know the way." Guan Beihai remarked.

Dou Dou: ???

This person truly was odd, a strange uncle indeed, hehe...

Seeing Dou Dou laughing unexpectedly, Guan Beihai thought, you look stranger than I do.

Dou Dou couldn’t carry anyone flying yet, so they had no choice but to walk.

Having gotten used to flying, Dou Dou wasn’t accustomed to walking. After a while, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why aren’t we taking a car?"

Watching cars whizzing by, she wanted to hop in, but Guan Beihai held her back.

"Do you know exactly where your Potato is?"

"There." Dou Dou pointed again.

"I know it’s that direction, but I’m talking about a specific address. Once in a car, can the driver take you right to your Potato?"

"No."

"Then continue walking."

"But why can’t you wait here while I go find Potato and have him come by car to you?" Dou Dou asked.

Guan Beihai looked down at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou looked up, gazing at him.

Large eyes met small eyes, Guan Beihai blinked, and Dou Dou blinked back.

"This... that..." Guan Beihai fumbled awkwardly, at a loss for an answer.

"Haha, I know, you’re silly, but I’m the cleverest," Dou Dou said proudly.

"Were you like this when you were alive?"

"Alive... I know, you mean when I was living, are you asking if I was equally clever when I was alive?"

"No, I meant, did you get beaten often when you were alive?"

Dou Dou widened her eyes in amazement and said, "You’re amazing, you’re indeed a detective, you could even figure that out."

Guan Beihai: ...
