"You’re here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised to see Sun Meiqi. "I have, but not much," Sun Meiqi replied. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 She then craned her neck to look at the table. "Wow, brother, you eat a lot." The hotel’s restaurant was self-service, and the table was full of empty plates. It wasn’t just Sun Meiqi who was surprised; the other diners in the restaurant were also casting astonished glances. However, there weren’t any weird looks since the internet is so advanced now, and people have seen a lot of big eaters. Besides, Shen Siyuan was well-built, obviously someone with a big appetite. "Are you full?" Shen Siyuan asked Tang Tang, who was sitting opposite him. She was just biting off the head of a little pig-shaped bun she was holding. Compared to other kids her age, Tang Tang was also quite the big eater, a champion at it. Seeing Shen Siyuan ask her, she immediately stuffed the little bun into her mouth and then eagerly grabbed another one from the plate. "I’m good now," she mumbled indistinctly. Shen Siyuan shook his head with a slight smile, then picked up a carton of milk and lifted her out of the restaurant, heading straight outside the hotel. The couple knew it wasn’t appropriate to discuss these matters in front of others, so they didn’t wait in the hotel lobby but instead found a quiet spot outside. With Su Meiqi leading the way, Shen Siyuan quickly met the couple. When they saw Shen Siyuan approaching with a child in his arms, the couple hurriedly came over to greet him. "Immortal Lord," they called out a little nervously. They seemed unsure, not knowing if they should kneel to speak. As Sun Yong hesitated, Guo Lirong was already kneeling down towards Shen Siyuan. However, her forward-leaning body wouldn’t go down, as if frozen like amber, unable to move. Seeing his wife’s strange posture, Sun Yong instinctively reached out to support her, but his fingers touched an invisible barrier and couldn’t reach her body. Shen Siyuan waved his hand, and Guo Lirong’s body stood upright. Sun Yong reached out to support her again and easily touched her this time. "I don’t go for these formalities. My surname is Shen, just call me Mr. Shen," he said. "Hello, Mr. Shen," the couple respectfully greeted. Shen Siyuan glanced at the items on the ground behind them. "I already know why you’re here, but it’s really unnecessary," he said, putting Tang Tang down. Tang Tang had finished the little bun and started drinking the milk Shen Siyuan handed her. "It’s not about the money; it’s just our humble token," Guo Lirong quickly said. She turned around and brought the items closer. "It’s not a matter of value; I just don’t need these," Shen Siyuan waved his hand. "But... but our Qiqi still needs your care," Sun Yong pleaded. Guo Lirong opened her backpack and handed a folder to Shen Siyuan. "If you don’t want the thing, we hope you can accept this money." Shen Siyuan shook his head and looked at the items on the ground, noticing two boxes of Eight Great Pieces, and said, "How about giving me these two boxes of snacks?" He then picked up the items. The so-called Eight Great Pieces were actually eight local specialty snacks. Shen Siyuan knew that if he accepted nothing, they might feel even more uneasy. However, accepting their money was entirely unnecessary; after all, it wasn’t easy for the couple to earn some money. These two boxes of Eight Great Pieces were probably the cheapest among the gifts. Shen Siyuan looked past them to a stroller not far away, where a chubby little one sat, his big round eyes fixed in this direction. He was holding a teething stick that drooled all over his chin, somewhat similar to Tang Tang. Dou Dou was amusing him without being visible, so she couldn’t be seen. Seeing Shen Siyuan looking over, he immediately grinned. "Is that Mei Qi’s brother?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile. The couple were stunned for a moment, then Sun Yong quickly turned to pick up his son. "He’s Sun Siqi, born after Mei Qi passed away," Sun Yong said. He looked at his daughter, who had been silent. Shen Siyuan nodded, "I’ve heard your daughter mention him, very cute." He reached out and gently pinched the little one’s chubby cheek. "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your blessing," Guo Lirong quickly said. Shen Siyuan was momentarily stunned, then burst into hearty laughter. He reached out to softly caress Sun Siqi’s forehead, the little one not crying and very well-behaved. Sun Yong and Guo Lirong were overjoyed, repeatedly expressing their gratitude to Shen Siyuan. "Alright, you can go now; I understand your intentions," Shen Siyuan said. The couple looked at their daughter. Shen Siyuan said no more but instead picked up Tang Tang. He then said to Sun Meiqi, "Say goodbye to your mom and dad." With that, he turned to leave. "Wait for me," Dou Dou hurriedly followed. Sun Yong and Guo Lirong watched Shen Siyuan’s departing figure in a daze. They hadn’t expected it to be just a brief encounter, Shen Siyuan leaving so decisively. "Did we... did we do anything inappropriate?" Guo Lirong nervously looked at her husband. Sun Yong didn’t know either but shook his head to comfort her, "We should have known, a real immortal wouldn’t bother with us mortals." Guo Lirong felt a long breath of relief, looking at her daughter again, she directly pulled her into a hug. "Baby, before you go, can you call me ’mom’ once more?" "What are those things?" Dou Dou was curious about the two boxes in Shen Siyuan’s hands. "Some local snacks," Shen Siyuan replied. Dou Dou sighed, immediately losing interest. Although ghosts can Eat Qi, it’s not the same as actually tasting food. She had been a foodie, but after becoming a ghost, she completely lost interest in food. "Don’t sigh. Soon you’ll be able to eat like normal people," Shen Siyuan said, patting her little head. Tang Tang, being held by him, bent over and patted Dou Dou’s head too. This made Dou Dou very unhappy; she shook her head and stared angrily at Tang Tang. If Potato can touch me, you dare to do it too? If I weren’t being held by Potato, we’d definitely have a fight. And what Shen Siyuan said about letting Dou Dou and the others eat like normal people wasn’t because of repairing the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, making them stronger, capable of wandering the Mortal World like the living. Instead, once he cleared the Qiongzhou Netherworld of evil and gained complete control, he could exercise the State Governor’s authority and bestow the title of ghost gods upon them. Ghost gods, while being ghosts, are also gods. Since they’re gods, they can walk the Mortal World, and taste all its flavors like humans. He believed this day wouldn’t be long, thanks to the support of the two charitable organizations, now allowing Shen Siyuan to gain Merit every day.
