Seeing Dou Dou and the others leave one after another, Tang Tang stopped watching TV and pointed outside the window, as if saying they’ve all run away, aren’t you going to manage them? Shen Siyuan chuckled and patted her little head. Just then, Shen Siyuan’s phone rang. He picked it up to see it was Ruan Hongzhuang calling. Ruan Hongzhuang was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with Taozi beside her, who immediately squeezed her head over upon seeing her calling Shen Siyuan. Ruan Hongzhuang pushed her aside, but like a sticky plaster, she quickly clung back. Ruan Hongzhuang had no choice but to let her squeeze in together. The call connected almost instantly. Before she could see the person clearly, Ruan Hongzhuang said, "If I don’t call you, you just... uh..." And there appeared a big head with a silly grin in front of the camera, with saliva almost dripping from the corners of her mouth. "Hi, Tang Tang~" Taozi waved her hand happily. Tang Tang grinned with a dopey smile. Just when the saliva was about to drip, a hand reached over from the side and stuffed a pacifier into her mouth. "Plug it in; otherwise, it’ll all drip onto my phone." Then her big head was moved aside, and Shen Siyuan’s face appeared in front of the two. "Horse road, horse road..." "What is Tang Tang saying?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked amusedly. "Who knows? Probably trying to express her dissatisfaction." Shen Siyuan turned the phone camera, and sure enough, Tang Tang was waving her little hand with an angry look. "Where did you go today? Not a call or a text the whole day." Ruan Hongzhuang continued to question, but after being interrupted earlier, her momentum wasn’t as strong as before. "Went to several places today, time was tight, just forgot." Shen Siyuan said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I think you just forgot while having fun." Ruan Hongzhuang pretended to be angry. "It’s my fault, mainly because a few little ones were too noisy." Shen Siyuan quickly found an excuse, luckily Dou Dou and the others weren’t around; otherwise, they’d definitely want to share their opinions. Only Tang Tang on the side seemed to hear and let out a few humming sounds, seeming to express her displeasure. "What time are you coming back tomorrow? I’ll drive to pick you up," Taozi said from the side. Ruan Hongzhuang: (* ̄︿ ̄) "You were the one who booked his ticket. Don’t you know when he’s coming back? So ambiguous." Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at her. "That’s not right. What if Siyuan changes his ticket due to something? Even if he doesn’t change, the flight might be delayed. Siyuan, isn’t that right?" Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Taozi leaned directly towards the phone, blocking Ruan Hongzhuang’s view. "By the way, you visited so many places today, got any photos? Send them to me later." Taozi smiled radiantly, and behind her, Ruan Hongzhuang was furious, reaching out to strangle her neck. "Damn green tea, go die somewhere." "Hehe, where’s green tea in this world? I’m just the gentle and considerate big sister." When Taozi spoke, her voice was filled with an incredibly tempting charm, clearly using her extraordinary power. Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but become dazed, feeling that Taozi’s words were very reasonable, a strong sense of agreement rising in her heart. Yet she had cultivation technique on her side, practiced diligently, quickly restoring clarity. She then smiled brightly. Then said charmingly, "Isn’t that all of us?" Her smile, her voice, gave an impression of utmost purity, but what was seen and heard was rather stirring, a desire rising in the heart. Even through the screen, Shen Siyuan felt a stir in his heart. Sitting next to Ruan Hongzhuang, Taozi was even more overwhelmed. Her originally fair cheeks instantly blushed deeply, her body heating up, eyes glazed over, pressing herself against Ruan Hongzhuang. In that moment, she seemed to lose her reason, turned into a doll driven by desire. Ruan Hongzhuang thought to tease Taozi, but didn’t expect Taozi not to be ordinary; driven by desire, her extraordinary ability naturally lost its restraint. Originally intending to push her away, Ruan Hongzhuang felt her mind clouded and actively leaned in... Tang Tang was curious and stretched her head to peek, but was directly covered by Shen Siyuan’s hand in a reverse grip. Tang Tang glared: "Bad egg." "It’s bad guy," Shen Siyuan corrected. "Bad guy is calling." Tang Tang pointed her little finger at Shen Siyuan. Probably played too many places during the day, Tang Tang fell asleep before nine. The little one grinned in her sleep, letting out light snores, clearly having a good dream. Shen Siyuan stayed awake, chatting with Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi. Normal people might chat one by one, but Shen Siyuan wasn’t ordinary, directly pulled them into a group chat. "While I’m not home, you two don’t cause trouble." Shen Siyuan said, naturally having seen the previous scene, and even now, they looked still out of sorts. "It’s all Taozi’s fault," Ruan Hongzhuang said. "Tch~, who’s the one calling me green tea?" Taozi replied. Then sent Shen Siyuan a selfie separately. "Will you come to pick me up tomorrow?" Shen Siyuan didn’t want to continue this topic, preventing Ruan Hongzhuang from seeking justification from him; this was all based on experience. "She sent you off, so naturally I’ll pick you up when you return." Ruan Hongzhuang said. "And me?" Taozi sent a pouty emoji. "You’ll naturally go to work," Ruan Hongzhuang asserted. The boss isn’t coming; why should I work? While chatting, Xiao Yue and the others returned. "How was it? Did you learn it?" Shen Siyuan asked Dou Dou. But judging by her crestfallen look, she probably didn’t learn it. Sure enough, Dou Dou sighed and then threw herself on the sofa. "Take your time, don’t force it," Shen Siyuan consoled. Buddhist dharma requires a high level of mental state; over-forcing is considered an obsession. Like flower, like fog, emphasizing balance, following one’s heart and nature to achieve Prajna. Dou Dou’s mindset was perfectly aligned before, but now attempting intentionally, she missed the technique. No need for Shen Siyuan to comfort, Dou Dou herself is a carefree child. In a blink, she forgot about it and took out a Lotus Lamp, competing with Duoduo in Transformation Technique. But clearly, the two aren’t on the same level concerning transformation. Dou Dou’s transformations with the Lotus Lamp, though intricate, were clumsy, switching before transforming further had lag, as she needed to revert to her original form before changing again. For instance, if she turns into Shen Siyuan, to further change into Xiao Yue, she must return to her form first, then can continue changing. Besides, she could only transform into human shape, her transformations seemed more like a layer of Illusion Technique on her. Duoduo, however, was different; her Transformation Technique truly allowed free form change, her body or soul was like clay, able to morph into any shape, animals, plants, even a lamp, a pillow, a chair, etc. This was what Dou Dou felt unfair; her transformations relied on the Lotus Lamp, while Duoduo didn’t need anything at all, changing as she wished. Hence, Dou Dou suspected Shen Siyuan favored Duoduo by granting her new ability. She wasn’t without reason either, for as Fan Soul, every ability was granted by Banner Master, like appearing visible, controlling Yin Wind, wielding Netherworld Fire, all came from the powers Shen Siyuan bestowed upon them. Shen Siyuan got annoyed by Dou Dou’s fuss, noticed even in sleep, Tang Tang smiled with content. So he said, "Go into Tang Tang’s dream, see what nice dream she’s having." This brought instant interest to the three little ones.
