CHAPTER 584: CHAPTER 583 A LIFETIME

Hearing the name Mr. Shen, Lady Huang and the others who planned to leave also stayed.

She even patted her head in some frustration, for throughout Bin Hai, no, perhaps the entire Qionghai, there was no second person who could display such power.

At this moment, Zheng Min also realized who Mr. Shen, mentioned by Zhong Xiaonan, referred to.

The immortal had mentioned it to her before, asking her to call him Mr. Shen. However, upon seeing Shen Siyuan’s imposing figure, akin to that of the Divine, the term ’mister’ became inadequate, and thus it faded in her mind.

Of course, more than anything, her heart was tumultuous at this moment, and her mind was in chaos as various emotions erupted, making it hard for her to think straight.

Nevertheless, having recollected herself, she did not immediately answer Zhong Xiaonan’s question but instead asked back, "Who are you?"

"National Special Affairs Bureau, Zhong Xiaonan."

On hearing this, Zhong Xiaonan immediately took out an ID from her pocket, showing the benefit of being organized.

As expected, Zheng Min relaxed her guard slightly upon hearing this, though not entirely, as even the best organization depends on its administrators...

In her current state, she believed many would be interested in her.

She had experienced too much and was all too aware of the evil in people’s hearts.

She first shielded Yan Bin behind her before answering the other’s question.

"Mr. Shen said, if there’s a grudge, repay it; if there’s a grievance, address it."

Zhong Xiaonan furrowed her brows upon hearing this, glanced at the tent behind her, and said, "Do you have a grudge against the people inside?"

"It’s more than just a grudge..." Zheng Min said through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Yan Bin, whom she shielded behind her, shrank his body, making no attempt to curiously check out Zhong Xiaonan and the others.

Over the years, he had long learned how to survive.

"Can you tell me in more detail?" Zhong Xiaonan asked.

If it’s a heretical bloodline inheritor, that falls right within her responsibilities. If not, and it’s merely an ordinary person’s crime, but Mr. Shen got involved, that likewise falls within their purview.

Zheng Min did not answer immediately but instead looked towards several people behind Zhong Xiaonan.

Seeing this, Lady Huang promptly said to Zhong Xiaonan, "Miss Zhong, since this doesn’t concern us, we won’t disturb you further."

But just then, the gray mist covering Bin Yue Square suddenly began to surge rapidly.

Before everyone’s astonished eyes, a silhouette slowly emerged.

"Mr. Shen."

Even though the silhouette was blurred, Lady Huang recognized him at a glance.

Shen Siyuan nodded toward her, then looked at Zhong Xiaonan and said, "Tonight, it won’t end here. Bring people over tomorrow morning to clean up."

Naturally, Zhong Xiaonan would not oppose Shen Siyuan’s opinion and immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing it.

Then Shen Siyuan turned his gaze toward Zheng Min at the side.

"If you have any questions, you can tell her, and she will help you solve them. Moreover, concerning your nephew, she can also assist in sending him back home."

"Thank you, thank you~," said Zheng Min, almost kneeling before Shen Siyuan.

Not only herself but she also pulled Yan Bin from behind to kneel together.

Shen Siyuan didn’t stop her, merely looking at her and saying, "This isn’t a pleasant memory. Do you need my help in sealing this memory for him?"

Zheng Min froze upon hearing this, then turned to look at Yan Bin beside her.

At this moment, Yan Bin looked bewildered, having no idea what was happening. Everything that transpired tonight shattered his previous understanding, leaving him still in a daze.

"Aunt?"

Seeing Zheng Min looking at him, Yan Bin immediately called out.

His pitiful eyes resembled an abandoned puppy.

Zheng Min reached out and patted his head, then smiled.

"These memories, although painful, teach him how to survive. He’s still very young and hasn’t read much. If these memories were blocked, he’d be no different from a baby, so let’s forget it..."

Since Zheng Min said so, Shen Siyuan said no more.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhong Xiaonan suddenly asked, "Did the people inside all die?"

"No, they won’t die, but it will be more painful than death."

Having said that, Shen Siyuan’s body turned back into gray smoke and vanished.

Zhong Xiaonan exhaled long, turning her gaze back to the rising Zheng Min.

This time, Zheng Min no longer kept her guard up against her and began recounting her ordeals.

Lady Huang and the others didn’t leave either; they were curious about what Zheng Min had been through to cause such wrath in Shen Siyuan.

Lady Huang’s friend, Third Master, didn’t leave either. He wasn’t curious about Zheng Min’s ordeal; rather, he was curious about Shen Siyuan’s identity.

Although these bloodline inheritors possess various incredible abilities, they can’t constitute much threat to society. They still fear hot weapons, and a single bullet could end it.

Maybe to ghosts, they are extremely powerful beings, but to humans, they pose no significant threat.

But the presence that Mr. Shen exuded earlier was not like their minor doings at all, truly akin to that of the Immortal Gods.

-----------------

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi leaned on the railing, panting heavily.

Everything that had just happened remained vivid in their minds.

Shen Siyuan reached out his hands, gently patting their backs.

"Feeling better?"

"No... it’s okay..."

Taozi turned to look at him, her eyes bright and full of dazzling brilliance.

"Was... was all that real just now?" she asked, somewhat stammering.

What had just happened indeed brought quite a shock to her.

"If not, were you dreaming?" Shen Siyuan said, lowering his hands.

"You’re... getting more powerful," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

She had seen many of Shen Siyuan’s wonders, aware of his immense strength. Yet now, he seemed to have grown even stronger, causing a tinge of unease in her heart.

Thus, she asked, "Will you one day become immortal, then leave us?"

"Becoming immortal isn’t that easy, and even if I did, why leave you? Does becoming immortal conflict with being with you?"

"But becoming immortal means you can’t be with mortals anymore," Taozi added from the side.

"How do you know immortality means not being with mortals? Which immortal told you that?" Shen Siyuan retorted.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi exchanged glances, realizing it might indeed be so. Everything they knew came from ancient myths, which shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

"Then... you’ll live very long, while we’ll eventually grow old and die," Taozi said again.

"So what if you do? I could keep your souls with me," he said.

Taozi suddenly fell silent as Dou Dou’s current situation reflected exactly this; her death was no different from living for Shen Siyuan.

Ruan Hongzhuang, on the other hand, was much more at ease.

"Being with you in this lifetime is enough. If I die, I’ll just reincarnate and enter the cycle of reincarnation again. I won’t always be with you, because being together too long will tire you, a lifetime is enough."

Shen Siyuan opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by her.

"Don’t say you won’t. Even favorite clothes and favorite foods get tiring over time, let alone two people. If you won’t tire, I will..."

"I’m not greedy. All I want is this lifetime. In the next, I’ll know nothing, so why worry?"

"Me too... me too..." Taozi hurriedly chimed in.

"It’s too early to speak of this now, and besides..."

Reincarnation might not even be possible, but Shen Siyuan didn’t voice this.

Just then, three little ones ran out from the adjacent balcony.
