CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 599: ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE

Tao Guangsha and his wife have recently been busy with charity work.

Especially Tao Guangsha, who originally had his own business to handle, now has to help his wife with the charity, making him even busier.

Even the time to think about their daughter seems to have decreased. That night, the couple was busy until nearly one o’clock in the morning before they went to bed.

In a daze, Tao Guangsha seemed to hear Dou Dou calling him.

Accompanied by a series of thumping sounds, the sound gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

At this moment, Jiang Wenxin also woke up in a daze; her eyes were not open yet, but she hazily called out Dou Dou.

With her call of Dou Dou, Tao Guangsha woke up with a start, and then instantly sat up in bed.

He finally understood why the thumping sound felt so familiar because it was Dou Dou kicking the door with her foot.

So he hurriedly pulled off the quilt and got out of bed.

"Coming, coming..."

At this point, Jiang Wenxin also woke up and got out of bed, glanced at the time, found it was just after five in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

Tao Guangsha opened the door and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw Dou Dou looking up at him, her big eyes brimming with tears, her face full of grievance, making his heart ache. He hurriedly bent down to hold her in his arms and comfort her gently.

He also noticed the flame pattern on Dou Dou’s forehead, but he didn’t pay it much mind because children love to stick all sorts of things on their foreheads.

"What’s wrong? Did Potato scold you for doing something wrong?"

"No, it’s not." Dou Dou said loudly.

Feeling wronged, she was a little angry.

"It’s good if you didn’t do anything wrong, so what’s the matter? Did someone bully you?"

Jiang Wenxin also squatted down, reached out to touch her small cheek, equally ignoring the flame pattern between Dou Dou’s brows.

"The mom and dad of Sister Xiao Xiao are so bad, they don’t want her anymore, saying... saying she’s a burden... boo hoo hoo, how can they be so mean, how can they not want their child..." Dou Dou said with a sob.

"Uh..."

The couple exchanged a glance, then Tao Guangsha took her back into the room.

"Lie down on the bed, and tell daddy and mommy in detail, okay?" Tao Guangsha said.

Before Dou Dou passed away, she always slept with the couple, but sometimes he would sneak into the next room while she slept.

So the couple, as they used to, placed Dou Dou in the center of the bed.

Dou Dou turned to look at her father on the left, then at her mother on the right, and suddenly felt less sad.

"Alright, now you can tell daddy and mommy." Jiang Wenxin bent down and lightly kissed her forehead.

Dou Dou happily kicked her small legs twice in the air, then slowly began to recount what had happened.

"At night, we went to the Netherworld with Potato, and then we encountered a big monster..."

The couple: ...

They originally wanted to interrupt Dou Dou, but the more they listened, the more surprised they became, and at this time, they realized that the flaming pattern on Dou Dou’s forehead was not fake.

Jiang Wenxin curiously rubbed her forehead twice with her thumb.

They found it was real, couldn’t be rubbed off, which aroused Dou Dou’s displeasure, staring at her angrily. As for lying to them, it was impossible because Dou Dou couldn’t make up such a story.

Moreover, Dou Dou is a good kid, never lying to deceive people.

So the couple didn’t interrupt Dou Dou anymore and listened to her babbling on and on.

Talking about how amazing she was, those bad guys were afraid of her flames...

Saying that she could punch one small monster at a time, spewing flames from her mouth that burned a hole in the sky...

Even Sister Xiao Yue and Duoduo weren’t as powerful as her; now, she was Potato’s number one henchman...

She also said that she wasn’t much weaker than Potato, who defeated the big monster but needed her help...

...

Well, kids indeed don’t lie but can exaggerate and add embellishments.

However, the couple was very experienced, and under their guidance, they slowly pieced together the general story.

Finally, they understood the reason for Dou Dou’s anger and sadness, feeling more shocked than anything.

It turns out Shen Siyuan is actually so powerful?

How could his life be so different, how strong is he after all?

Is he really human anymore?

From Dou Dou’s description, Shen Siyuan’s power seems to rival that of the Divine.

But Dou Dou didn’t mind; after she finished telling the story, she immediately looked at Tao Guangsha with a pleading face.

"Daddy, can you take care of Sister Xiao Xiao? She’s so pitiful?"

"Of course I can." Tao Guangsha agreed without a second thought.

Taking care of one more child wasn’t a burden for him at all, especially since they were currently engaged in charity work, it seemed like a good deed.

"Daddy, you’re so nice, I love you."

Dou Dou happily jumped up, hugged Tao Guangsha’s neck, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Alright, you tell mommy, where does the little sister you mentioned live?" Jiang Wenxin asked.

Dou Dou:(￣口￣)!!

"I’ll go find Granny Cui."

She transformed into a gust of Yin Wind, lifted the curtain, and flew out the window.

Tao Guangsha and Jiang Wenxin exchanged a glance, both seeing the awkwardness on each other’s faces.

"What do we do now?" Tao Guangsha asked.

"What can we do? It’s still early, let’s go back to sleep." Jiang Wenxin said, lying down first.

Seeing this, Tao Guangsha also lay down, then habitually reached out to hold Jiang Wenxin in his arms.

But the two soon found that despite being quite tired, they couldn’t fall asleep.

After a while, Jiang Wenxin finally spoke: "Are Dou Dou’s words just now true?"

"Probably not fake, but maybe a bit exaggerated." Tao Guangsha hesitated and said.

"But even if exaggerated, Shen Siyuan is still... still..."

"Too powerful?"

"Yes, that’s what I mean."

"But the facts are right here." Tao Guangsha said.

Jiang Wenxin sighed and said: "The appearance of Shen Siyuan directly broke my worldview, do you think someone as powerful as Shen Siyuan would be controlled by the state?"

"How would I know?"

"What I admire most about him is that despite being so powerful, he can still live like a normal person. Do you think if you were as powerful as Shen Siyuan, you could manage it?" Jiang Wenxin asked.

"No." Tao Guangsha replied directly.

Jiang Wenxin didn’t mock Tao Guangsha upon hearing this because she couldn’t do it either; human desires swell along with power.

Many people with money and power live indulgent lives due to the swelling of desires.

But Shen Siyuan has always been able to uphold his true self, which may be his distinction from the ordinary.

The couple fell silent for a moment.

Meanwhile, Dou Dou flew up again, looked around bewilderedly, suddenly realizing she had forgotten where Granny Cui’s house was.

She spun in the air dozens of times but couldn’t find Granny Cui’s house; in the end, she decided to find Potato for help.

From her perspective, Potato is the most powerful person in the world, capable of anything.
