CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 588: ADVENTURE

"Oh no... oh no... Potato, come out quickly, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, ugh..."

When Shen Siyuan came out of the room, he saw Dou Dou lying at his doorstep, sticking out her tongue and playing dead.

Annoyed, Shen Siyuan gave her a light kick with his foot and said, "You’re already dead, how can you die again... huh?"

Then he suddenly noticed the fiery red flame emblem on Dou Dou’s forehead.

"What’s going on here?"

Shen Siyuan turned his head to look at Xiao Yue and Duoduo, who were squatting nearby eating a melon.

"It’s Tang Tang," Duoduo immediately said.

"Tang Tang?" Shen Siyuan reached out, picked up Dou Dou, and examined her carefully.

In theory, the image of a ghost is the last form a person had before death and is difficult to change. Even if they are a Fan Soul, they can only change temporarily and cannot permanently alter their image.

And to leave a mark on the soul is not something ordinary people can do.

It’s like tattooing a ghost; the existence of a ghost is a magnetic field, a gathering of consciousness that can be destroyed or eliminated.

But it’s difficult to interfere and turn them into other shapes unless you erase the consciousness on the soul.

But clearly, Dou Dou was not affected at all and remained as lively as ever.

After being picked up by Shen Siyuan, she still tried to stretch out her tongue.

"Xiao Yue, can you tell me exactly what happened?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue was about to start from the beginning when the door behind opened, and Ruan Hongzhuang came out.

Seeing Shen Siyuan standing at the door in such a strange posture, she asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"I’m telling Xiao Yue and the others something..."

He then realized that Xiao Yue and the others were in soul form and Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t see them.

"You go to sleep first, I have something to do," Shen Siyuan instructed.

"I’ll drink some water and go back to sleep," Ruan Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at him.

Originally enjoying herself, Ruan Hongzhuang was frustrated when Shen Siyuan suddenly left the room.

But Shen Siyuan had no mind for that now and directly took Dou Dou to the balcony, with Xiao Yue and Duoduo immediately following.

Shen Siyuan placed Dou Dou on his lap, held her small face, and carefully observed the flame mark on her forehead.

He discovered it was not just a simple mark but an incredibly complex symbol.

Searching through the Netherworld Demon Lord’s memories, Shen Siyuan found no information about the origin of this symbol. Of course, it could be that the systems of the two worlds were different, so it was unclear at the moment.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Dou Dou shook her head, patted her belly with her hand, and then said, "No, I feel warm."

"No discomfort, but... hold on, did you say warm?"

She was in a soul state and shouldn’t feel temperature, but she said her soul felt warm.

"Yes, very comfortable, warm and cozy," Dou Dou said, looking delighted.

Seeing her like this, she didn’t appear to have any problems.

Only then did Shen Siyuan remember to continue questioning Xiao Yue.

So Xiao Yue recounted everything that happened tonight after they entered Tang Tang’s dream world to Shen Siyuan in detail.

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had always speculated about Tang Tang’s origin; Tang Tang’s former self might have been a great being with considerable cultivation, or maybe even an Immortal God reincarnated. Otherwise, the supernatural occurrences around Tang Tang were inexplicable.

And the entity hidden deep in Tang Tang’s consciousness might be Tang Tang’s true self, just that this life of Tang Tang was her reincarnation and her consciousness hadn’t fully awakened.

Given his relationship with Tang Tang, he figured she wouldn’t harm Dou Dou.

Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

He then put Dou Dou down from his lap.

Dou Dou touched her forehead with a worried face and asked, "Potato, is there something wrong with me? Will I die?"

"There’s nothing wrong with you, you won’t die," Shen Siyuan said speechlessly.

"Can the thing on Dou Dou’s head be washed off?" Duoduo innocently asked from the side.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"How could you wash it off? Besides, it looks good this way," Xiao Yue said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou’s eyes lit up, and she stopped rubbing her forehead. She put her hands behind her back, stood tall, looking quite pleased with herself.

Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "Show me the Netherworld Fire kept within your body."

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou immediately began to try with all her might.

Watching her strained effort, Shen Siyuan became concerned that she might accidentally soil herself.

Well, since ghosts don’t need to eat, they, of course, don’t need to use the bathroom either.

At this moment, a burst of blue flame suddenly shot out from behind Dou Dou, like a rocket’s tail flame.

Shen Siyuan: ...

Is this some kind of stunt? What kind of ghost is this? Shen Siyuan covered his face, even too lazy to mock.

However, Shen Siyuan did notice that the originally ghostly blue flame at Dou Dou’s rear was interspersed with strands of orange-red.

Did her hemorrhoid burst? Wait, what am I thinking about? This little one’s leading me astray.

At this moment, flames suddenly engulfed Dou Dou’s entire body, turning her into a fire figure.

This time it was clearer; the ghostly blue flame was interspersed with strands of orange-red.

Now, not only Shen Siyuan but also Xiao Yue and Duoduo noticed the difference in Dou Dou’s Netherworld Fire.

And this orange-red flame gave Shen Siyuan an extremely familiar feeling.

This flame closely resembled the Divine Fire born within his Sea of Consciousness.

However, because Dou Dou was still too young and her will was weak, her flame appeared particularly small.

But it still possessed various supernatural qualities, far surpassing the power of the Netherworld Fire.

Dou Dou extended her small hand, and the strands of orange-red flame seemed to have gained life, gathering in her palm.

"Wow, I’m amazing~" Dou Dou exclaimed happily.

It seemed that with her mood, the orange flame suddenly surged upward, scaring Dou Dou and causing the flame to shrink back instantly.

"Huh?" Dou Dou seemed to have noticed as well.

"Wow, I’m amazing~" Dou Dou said again.

But the flame didn’t move at all, not changing a bit.

"Hmph, what’s this? It’s no fun," and then the bunch of flames turned back into strands, spread over her whole body again.

"Is Dou Dou okay?" Xiao Yue asked worriedly from the side.

"Don’t worry, she’s better than ever," Shen Siyuan laughed.

"In Tang Tang’s dream, who... who was that person?" Xiao Yue asked again.

"That was Tang Tang," Shen Siyuan replied.

Before Xiao Yue could speak, Dou Dou immediately said, "Impossible."

"Why not?" Shen Siyuan smiled and asked.

"Because Tang Tang is chubby, and that big sister was beautiful," Dou Dou immediately replied.

"You only saw a hand and didn’t see the person; how did you think she was beautiful?"

"That hand was so beautiful, like this... like this..."

Dou Dou raised her chubby little hand, gesturing in a way that was indescribably amusing.

"It was indeed beautiful," Xiao Yue suddenly said.

Duoduo also nodded quickly, recalling how she seemed to forget to breathe at that moment, so beautiful it was.
