Chapter 85: Arranged by Fate

Shen Siyuan had a vague feeling that everything seemed to be arranged by fate.

Now that he thought about it carefully, how could an ordinary mortal like him easily turn the tables and kill the opponent, swallowing the remnant soul of the Nine Nether Demon Lord instead?

One must know that the Nine Nether Demon Lord, a demonic grandmaster who had cultivated for a thousand years, would surely be stronger than an ordinary person like Shen Siyuan even with just a wisp of his remnant soul, let alone with the protection of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, such a demonic treasure.

It vaguely revealed a hint of eeriness.

Including meeting Lan Duoduo, it was the same; everything seemed to be a predetermined fate.

However, Shen Siyuan did not dislike it at all; he was just a mortal to begin with, so what was there to complain about having such a miraculous encounter?

If others are like ants, do not have ambitions higher than the sky; speaking of resisting fate with such childish words is useless; better to accept fate and enjoy fate.

As for accepting fate requiring one to bear corresponding responsibilities, he also thought it was proper.

Just like working in a company, when the boss gives you a promotion and a raise, you must always shoulder the burden and give the boss a splendid performance record.

But since he chose to accept fate, what did he need to do next?

Continue helping lost souls fulfill their wishes, gain merit, and repair the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Or find a way to eliminate the evil filth of the Underworld and the Nether Lands.

Actually, the two matters do not conflict; only by working hard to repair the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and improving one's own strength can one find a way to eliminate the evil filth.

The evil filth can be eliminated; the Buddhists have arts to transform filth, and the Daoists also have methods for Tribulation Crossing.

So in the memories of the Nine Nether Demon Lord, there were naturally means to deal with the evil filth, and the most powerful method among them was to use the evil filth as a root to manifest the Six Desires Heavenly Demons.

Then use the Six Desires Heavenly Demons as the main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; at that time, one would be completely capable of becoming a Buddha or an Ancestor, able to pull the Jade Emperor down from his throne and drag the Buddha down from his lotus platform.

Just thinking about it makes one drool, but as long as he thinks about it, with his current strength, let alone manifesting the Six Desires Heavenly Demons, even if he had that ability, he would be counter-attacked by the Heavenly Demons, having his physical shell swallowed, and the demons would descend upon the human world.

Say a thousand things or a hundred things, one's own strength is the most important.

"Banner Master brother... Banner Master brother... look at me... look at me..."

Lan Duoduo's excited voice interrupted Shen Siyuan's thoughts.

He saw that Nether Firefly, like a butterfly weaving through flowers, fluttering up and down around her fingertips.

What surprised Shen Siyuan even more was that the Nether Fire that had just been rising from her body had now vanished without a trace.

"Impressive, you mastered how to command the Nether Fireflies so quickly." Shen Siyuan couldn't help but praise.

Then he continued: "And the Nether Fire on your body, can you control it freely now?"

"Oh?" Lan Duoduo looked down at herself in confusion.

Then the Nether Fire popped out all at once, and then instantly extinguished.

Lan Duoduo looked up at Shen Siyuan in confusion.

As if to say, does this require special study on how to control?

Shen Siyuan was speechless for a moment; at this time, he thought of Watching Dou Dou.

Lan Duoduo was that kind of peerless genius with top-tier aptitude in fantasy novels, while Watching Dou Dou was a mere extra in the outer court; one was in the sky, the other on the ground.

One did not need to learn how to control at all, naturally knowing how, while the other tried so hard for so long but still couldn't control the Nether Fire on her body; truly, one was in the sky, the other on the ground.

As for Yin Xingyue, she belonged to the middle tier, neither good nor bad, and her age was also much older than the two little ones.

"Wait until tomorrow, I will introduce you to two little friends," Shen Siyuan said.

"Little friends?" Lan Duoduo tilted her small head, showing all her cuteness.

But she still subconsciously reached out to hold her small head.

"Yes, a young lady and a little sister..."

Just as he was speaking, suddenly a gust of cold wind drilled in from outside the window.

"Not good, not good..."

Watching Dou Dou landed on the ground and rushed frantically toward Shen Siyuan.

But halfway there, she suddenly discovered there was another young lady inside the room.

So she immediately stopped her steps, froze in place, widened her eyes, and looked at Lan Duoduo with a face full of surprise.

"Rushing frantically, what is not good again?" Shen Siyuan reached out and tapped her small head.

Watching Dou Dou did not answer this question but hurriedly used both hands to protect her small head, looking at Shen Siyuan with a face full of wonder: "Who is this young lady?"

"Her name is Lan Duoduo; you two must get along well in the future," Shen Siyuan said.

Just at this moment, Yin Xingyue turned into a gust of cold wind and also entered the room.

Just now, she was downstairs and saw from afar Watching Dou Dou riding the cold wind and roaring over; although it was night, the flame constantly burning on her head made her look like a firefly in the darkness, appearing incredibly dazzling.

However, that little earth dog did not follow; presumably, Yin Xingyue knew the puppy was afraid of Watching Dou Dou, so she didn't bring it up.

And she was also surprised by Lan Duoduo's sudden appearance in the room, but she quickly understood what was going on.

Shen Siyuan explained to the three of them.

Only then did he continue to ask Watching Dou Dou: "Tell me, what exactly happened, rushing frantically like that."

"I saw that old man with the feather duster again; he was chasing me from behind." Watching Dou Dou looked as if she still had lingering fears.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan frowned. "Didn't you say last time that you spat fire at him and scared him away? If so, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid he will use the feather duster to beat my bottom," Watching Dou Dou said with righteous indignation.

"You..."

Shen Siyuan also had no way with this little thing.

As if sensing Shen Siyuan's disappointed emotion, Watching Dou Dou explained again: "I spat fire at him, but he hid; when I was leaving, he chased up again; he is so annoying..."

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan frowned. "Didn't you ask him why he was chasing you?"

Watching Dou Dou shook her head.

Shen Siyuan looked at Yin Xingyue and said: "Go with Watching Dou Dou to see what is going on."

Yin Xingyue nodded; Shen Siyuan then instructed: "Be careful, protect yourself; if you encounter danger, you can command the Nether Fireflies."

Hearing this, Watching Dou Dou suddenly remembered her Nether Fire Firefly, and then the Nether Fire Firefly crawled out from her hair.

She had completely raised the Nether Fire Firefly as a pet, never treating it as a weapon that could be casually commanded.

Yin Xingyue nodded, grabbed Dou Dou's wrist, and was about to roll up the Yin Wind to leave.

"Wait." Shen Siyuan called out to stop her.

Then he said to Lan Duoduo, who was standing aside, "You go with them too; listen to your big sister in everything."

Thus, the three little ones, riding the Yin Wind, rushed out of the window with a howl into the void.

Watching them leave, Shen Siyuan did not idle either; he began to practice the Great Luo Han Eighteen Postures, for he could not rely solely on merit to improve; every bit of self-effort counted.

They say exercise is addictive because it secretes dopamine and endorphins, helping people fall in love with exercise and gain happiness.

Practicing the Great Luo Han Eighteen Postures is likewise a form of exercise; the stretching of tendons, muscles, and bones, accompanied by soreness, also generates excitement and pleasure.

Moreover, in this state, Shen Siyuan felt his mind was exceptionally active.

At this moment, he was considering the future arrangements for the three little ones.
