CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 601: SEEKING

As the ultimate magic artifact of the Demon Path, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, even if now torn and only one-tenth as powerful, still possesses absolute control over its Fan Soul.

Whether it’s memory or thought, they will be imprinted by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, belonging entirely to the Banner Master.

How easy it is for a person to recall what they’ve seen, it is just as easy for Shen Siyuan to glance through the Fan Soul’s memories.

Only, Shen Siyuan doesn’t like to peruse their memories casually; he sees them as independent beings despite being Fan Souls.

When Shen Siyuan looks at the Fan Soul’s memories, not only does it cause no harm to them, but they don’t even notice it happening.

Thus, with Shen Siyuan’s fingers weaving the formula, in an instant, he knows all the memories Dou Dou had last night.

After realizing Dou Dou’s memories, Shen Siyuan asked Taozi to bring his phone, and after a quick search, he found Granny Cui’s location.

"It should be near Yimin Street. You ask Sister Xiao Yue to take you, call Duoduo along..." Shen Siyuan instructed her.

"Okay." Hearing this, Dou Dou was immediately delighted.

She turned and ran into the house. Just after entering, she seemed to remember something, turned back to Shen Siyuan and said, "Potato, I love you, you’re the best."

After speaking, she gave him a thumbs up. Shen Siyuan waved his hand, telling her to quickly go find Xiao Yue and not to flatter him with compliments, which he wouldn’t buy.

Dou Dou turned and continued inside to find Sister Xiao Yue.

However, midway, a small figure dashed out and knocked her down.

"Han~"

Who else but Tang Tang, today wearing a blue round-neck short-sleeve striped shirt with denim dungaree shorts, featuring a big fat orange cat in the large front pocket, and sporting short hair that reached her ears, looking fresh and neat.

The only drawback was a constant grin that left some shiny drool hanging at the corners of her mouth.

"Let go of me quickly."

"Play, Dou Dou, han~"

"I won’t play with you. Let go of me quickly; I need to find Sister Xiao Yue..."

...

The two little ones rolled around in the living room.

Shen Siyuan ignored them and continued his exercises, while Taozi stopped any mischief and earnestly practiced Embrace the Wind and Sleep on the side.

But soon after, Tang Tang ran over with a worried look on her face.

"Oh~"

She pointed in the direction of the living room, looking entirely unimpressed, stomping her feet and putting her hands on her hips.

"Dou Dou ran away?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

Tang Tang nodded and gestured with her little hands, indicating that Dou Dou ran away very quickly.

Taozi was amused by her little appearance, gently rubbed her little head, and said, "Dou Dou has gone to do something; when she’s back, let her play with you."

But hearing this, Tang Tang merely looked confused, forcing Shen Siyuan to repeat himself, which Tang Tang finally understood.

She then grinned at Taozi with a "han~," reaching out to hug Taozi.

Unfortunately, she was too short and could only hug Taozi’s leg.

She then turned and ran back inside the house.

"Oh... oh... Mama... hungry... food..."

"Such a cute little one."

Watching the little one run like a little bear, with her butt wiggling, Taozi couldn’t stop laughing.

Meanwhile, Dou Dou worried that Tang Tang might continue pestering, so she sneaked away with Xiao Yue and found Duoduo, who was teasing the dog at home, then headed to Yimin Street together.

Yimin Street actually has another local name, Beili Lane.

Behind this name lies a special history; decades ago, many people from places like Gengen, Dan State, and Fuluo migrated here to work at the original Binhai Seafood Pier.

Initially, these workers all lived near the Sanya River beach, later collectively moving to Yimin Street. Due to the large number of people from the northern Beili region of Gengen, it earned the name "Beili Lane."

Most families living here have similar conditions as Granny Cui’s, but because this place has gathered people from various locales, various Qionghai specialty foods can be found here, becoming quite the local food street.

However, Granny Cui’s home is not street-facing; otherwise, she could easily do something to support a child without difficulty.

Her home is in a cramped lane behind the street, where many families like Granny Cui’s live.

"Are you sure it’s here?"

Xiao Yue glanced at Dou Dou beside her, expressing doubt at Dou Dou’s previous certainty.

Dou Dou was a little uncertain herself, having rushed through last night too hastily and barely noticed the surroundings.

She rode on the Yin Wind, flying around in the air, carefully analyzing once more, then nodded again: "I’m sure, it’s here, there’s no mistake, this is Granny Cui’s house."

Dou Dou pointed at the dilapidated house with a certain look.

"Won’t we know once we go inside?" Duoduo chimed in.

She also thought it should be here, recalling some impressions from yesterday despite turning back at that time.

So, the three little ones directly walked into the shabby house ahead.

Then——

"Is this the place?" Xiao Yue asked Dou Dou after looking around the environment.

Dou Dou:｡◔‸◔｡

She dared not meet Sister Xiao Yue’s gaze; evidently, this wasn’t Granny Cui’s house. Though similarly rundown, the interior was neatly arranged, entirely unlike what she saw last night.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yue quickly understood the situation, sighed, and said, "I’ll search other houses again."

Dou Dou, realizing she wasn’t being scolded, felt slightly unused to it.

Tentatively, she asked Xiao Yue, "Aren’t you going to scold me?"

"Why should I scold you?"

"I didn’t remember the place." Dou Dou softly admitted.

"Will scolding you make you remember?"

Dou Dou quickly shook her head.

"Then there’s nothing to it; if scolding you won’t achieve anything, why scold you?"

"Hehe, Sister Xiao Yue, you’re really nice, love you."

"Less flattery." Xiao Yue said with a hint of amusement.

"Flattery?"

With Xiao Yue’s words, Dou Dou turned to look at her behind, I didn’t ride a horse, so why talk about horse farts?

Although Dou Dou mistook the house, similar houses around here weren’t plenty, and the three eventually found Granny Cui’s house.

"Are you certain this is the place?"

"I am sure, dirty and messy, Granny Cui said grandpa doesn’t tidy up the house." Dou Dou stated.

Then she quickly ran to sit at the doorway.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting familiar with the feeling, it’s just like last night, I’m sure this is indeed the place." Dou Dou hit her palm with a certain expression.

Xiao Yue:...

"But nobody is home now." Duoduo looked around, finding no one inside.

"They probably went out, let’s come back tonight." Xiao Yue suggested.

"Do we need to wait until night?" Dou Dou was a little disappointed.

She was somewhat eager to help that girl named Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Yue ignored her, stepping out of the house, looked around, and checked the location.

Dou Dou sighed and followed.

Duoduo, however, directed her gaze toward a corner at the end of the alley.
