Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 17 - : Cuckold (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Potato~"

Dou Dou rubbed her eyes and appeared before Shen Siyuan.

She spent most of her time sleeping in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which was also a way to nourish her soul.

The strength of a soul was related to one's life before death and would no longer change after death. However, the ghosts in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner broke this boundary. Not only could they enhance their souls, but with the right Cultivation Technique, they could even cultivate.

And as the Jiuyou Demon Lord, the ancestor of Ghost Control, naturally he was not short of Ghost Cultivation Techniques.

Unfortunately, Dou Dou was too young, and teaching her to cultivate was a troublesome matter. Shen Siyuan decided to let it be for now and see if there would be a suitable "person" in the future.

After the last couple of days of slumber, Dou Dou no longer looked like a little blue sprite, her whole body emanating a blue ghostly light, although her hair was still burning like flames.

"How do you feel?"

Shen Siyuan reached out to touch her hair, which was like blue flames.

Netherworld Fire could burn a person's soul, but these Netherworld Fires were all from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. As the Banner Master, it naturally wouldn't harm him. The Netherworld Fire seemed to be burning flames, but it didn't have a burning sensation, instead, it had a slight chill to it.

"It feels so comfortable."

Dou Dou stretched lazily. Since her death, she had never felt so comfortable.

It was as if she had slept a good, lazy sleep, and woke up refreshed.

"That's good. Go have a wander nearby, but don't go far."

"Okay~"

Dou Dou responded and immediately rode a gust of Yin Wind out the window; she couldn't wait to fly in the sky and play.

Shen Siyuan walked to the window and looked down, but saw Old Man Lu still wandering downstairs.

Having ignored him for a few days, it was about time to get in touch with him and also to verify his own conjectures.

So he also left the apartment and headed downstairs.

Just as he entered the elevator, Dou Dou appeared from somewhere.

"Potato~ where are my daddy and mommy?"

She asked, looking somewhat pitiful.

"They're naturally at home."

"Oh~"

Dou Dou seemed a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

It looked like he had to find a companion for her soon; otherwise, the little girl would still be thinking about her daddy and mommy all day.

However, these past few days, Jiang Wenxin and her husband had asked him about Dou Dou more than a dozen times, especially Jiang Wenxin, who was particularly enthusiastic, offering snacks and fruits.

This made the few guys in the office unanimously believe that he had latched onto a rich woman.

"Wait till tomorrow, then you can see your mommy." Shen Siyuan thought and comforted her.

"Okay, thank you Potato~"

The little girl immediately became happy upon hearing this, then turned into a gust of Yin Wind and disappeared.

Shen Siyuan suspected that if she recognized the way, she probably would have run home on her own.

Just as he emerged from the building, Old Man Lu nodded at him from afar, without approaching, but as soon as he saw Shen Siyuan walking towards him, he immediately looked a bit excited and hurried to meet him.

"Mr. Shen..."

He knew that his waiting over the last few days had not been in vain; Mr. Shen was finally willing to communicate with him.

Just then, a gust of Yin Wind blew, and Dou Dou appeared out of nowhere between the two men.

"Grandpa Lu."

Seeing a familiar face, Dou Dou waved her little hand excitedly.

But Old Man Lu took several steps backward in fright, because Dou Dou gave him a heart-palpitating sensation; his soul felt a stabbing pain even before she got close to him.

Seeing Grandpa Lu like this, Dou Dou was a bit confused and also felt somewhat saddened.

"Alright, go and play, I'll have a talk with your Grandpa Lu," Shen Siyuan patted her little head with his hand.

"Oh~"

Dou Dou obediently complied, transformed into a gust of Yin Wind, shot up into the sky, and vanished without a trace.

Old Man Lu raised his head to gaze at the heavens, knowing that Dou Dou's changes must have something to do with Shen Siyuan, and couldn't help feeling even more reverence in his heart.

"Tell me about your situation, is there any desire you still can't let go of?"

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

And so, Old Man Lu began to talk about his situation.

Old Man Lu's full name was Lu Guanchang, a local from Bin Hai. When he was young, he worked at the Bin Hai hand tractor factory. At that time, the factory was a secure job, which was why he was able to marry a girl named Yang Lianxiang. She wasn't well-educated, but she was very pretty.

That period was the most comfortable time in Lu Guanchang's life, but good days didn't last forever. The tide of history surged forward relentlessly, and there was no such thing as a job for life. The hand tractor factory eventually shut down, the workers were laid off, and Lu Guanchang was no exception.

Through a friend's introduction, he went to work for a shipping company, becoming a sailor. As a port city, Bin Hai had a huge cargo throughput, and countless ships traveled to and from all over the world.

Lu Guanchang, as a sailor, because he traveled all over the world, gradually broadened his horizons. Combined with the prolonged separation from his wife and seeing the allure of women elsewhere, he increasingly lost interest in his homely wife.

So, the two quickly divorced. At that time, he and his wife already had a daughter, but for Lu Guanchang, whose heart had become wild, there was no reluctance. He simply let his wife take her away.

Later, as Lu Guanchang grew older, he gradually settled down, stopped sailing on ships, remarried, and his new wife bore him a son. He then lived a stable life.

"So it's because you feel guilty towards your ex-wife that you linger in the Mortal World?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Guanchang let out a heavy sigh and then said some words that had Shen Siyuan's eyes wide with astonishment.

"After I died, I found out that the son I'd raised for so many years wasn't my own flesh and blood. To think that for all these years, I'd given them mother and son my wholehearted devotion..."

As Lu Guanchang spoke about this matter, he became increasingly angry, his facial muscles twitched violently, looking even more fierce and disgusting.

"What happened?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

Yet inside, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Perhaps this was karmic retribution.

"What else could have happened? My wife cuckolded me. Shortly after I died, she brought that bastard of a cousin back home. This son that I've raised, not a peep from him..."

It turns out that Lu Guanchang's later wife had a cousin who had a good relationship with their family and frequently visited. Lu Guanchang thought he was just an ordinary relative, but it never occurred to him that the man was not any cousin, but instead, her lover from her youth.

Since he came from outside Bin Hai, apart from these two, he didn't really have any other relatives, so Lu Guanchang had never doubted their relationship.

"You had no inkling that your son wasn't your biological child?"

"Ah~" Lu Guanchang sighed.

"It's normal for a son to resemble his uncle, even if it's a maternal uncle, right?"

Because of this relationship, Lu Guanchang never suspected, only to find out that his son was actually "Uncle's" seed.

"My dear cousin... My wife's lover, he had been married when he was young, then claimed to have divorced due to incompatible feelings. I now know why the feelings were incompatible. He had no children, and right after my death, he moved into my house, usurping my nest. How malicious..."

As he spoke, Lu Guanchang's resentment became uncontrollable.

"I'm such a fool, spending so many years raising someone else's son, working myself to the bone, all my earnings went to outsiders, while my own flesh and blood suffered out there. How can I reconcile with this?"

After Shen Siyuan heard the whole story, not only did he feel no sympathy, he even felt like laughing. Served him right.

One reaps what they sow.

Nevertheless, Shen Siyuan decided to help. For the sake of that pitiable mother and daughter and also to validate his own hypothesis.
