Gift Distribution

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Little Xue, no need to knock. Come in." Shen Nuonuo did not need to guess to know that Qian Renxue had arrived.

"Big Sister." Qian Renxue opened the door and walked in. She wore a pink little nightgown, with pink tufts tied atop her head. She gave Shen Nuonuo a sweet smile, looking utterly adorable.

She was so cute, like a porcelain doll.

Shen Nuonuo genuinely thought Qian Renxue was breathtakingly beautiful.

She remembered that Qian Xunji in the original novel had also been exceptionally handsome. As for Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa Empress, there was even less need to mention her beauty.

Qian Renxue trotted over to Shen Nuonuo, placed a thick stack of gift-wrapping paper on the bed, then wrapped her arm around hers. Tilting up her soft little face, she said, "Big Sister, let's sort out the gifts together!"

Shen Nuonuo gave a soft hum. She had noticed that when Qian Renxue came in, she had only brought gift bags, and now her hands were completely empty. "Little Xue, where are all the little things you bought at the night market?"

Qian Renxue pointed at the Golden Bracelet on her right wrist. "Big Sister, they're in here!"

If she had not mentioned it herself, Shen Nuonuo would not have noticed that the little girl had been wearing the bracelet all along. "Is this a Storage Soul Tool?"

At that, Qian Renxue shook her little head like a rattle drum. "No, this is a necklace Grandpa gave me!"

Shen Nuonuo pressed down the few stray hairs sticking up from the top of her head. "Hehe, silly Little Xue. It is a necklace, but it's also a Soul Tool!"

"An ordinary necklace can't hold so many things. This is a storage-type Soul Tool."

Qian Renxue's brows rose slightly as she looked at Shen Nuonuo with a face full of admiration. "Is that so? Big Sister, you know so much!"

"Of course. I've read the entire Douluo Trilogy!"

Shen Nuonuo looked immensely proud.

Of course, it was not because she was proud of having read Douluo. It was because she knew how the plot would unfold!

Sure enough, people really did need to read more!

Of course, she had only read the beginning of Legend of the Dragon King before transmigrating here.

She had also skipped around while watching the anime. There were too many episodes—who had that much time?

"What is the Douluo Trilogy?" Qian Renxue stared at her without blinking.

"Ahem, adult matters. Kids shouldn't meddle!"

Shen Nuonuo seriously changed the subject.

"But you're only one year older than me! By that logic, you're a child too!"

Qian Renxue tilted her head, puffing out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Being older than you makes me an adult! You have to listen to your big sister from now on, got it? I'll take you soaring!"

Shen Nuonuo raised her chin and stood on tiptoe, looking as though she had a bit of an elegant big-sister aura.

As for why she had to stand on tiptoe, it was because without doing so, she was only a tiny bit taller than Qian Renxue. It did not look very imposing.

Hehe, I lived for almost twenty-two years in my previous life. I'm about the same age as your mother.

The original novel said that Bibi Dong was twenty years older than Qian Renxue. Shen Nuonuo estimated that Little Xue was not yet five.

That meant Bibi Dong was only around twenty-four or twenty-five. She could call her Sister Dong.

"Mhm." At the mention of her mother, Qian Renxue lowered her eyes. Her expression darkened, and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

Ding. Host, danger alert. A drop in the mood of a primary bonded character has been detected!

The system's mechanical voice issued a danger warning in her mind.

Hearing that the primary bonded character was feeling down, Shen Nuonuo thought she had frightened Qian Renxue by speaking too loudly. She gently comforted her. "Little Xue, it's Big Sister's fault. I scared you."

Qian Renxue shook her head, her eyes slightly red. She said Shen Nuonuo had not scared her; she had simply thought of her mother.

For the time being, Shen Nuonuo had not found a good solution to the tense and complicated relationship between the mother and daughter, nor did she know how to comfort her.

"I'm fine now, Big Sister. Sorry, I scared you!" Qian Renxue recovered a little after a while and forced out a smile.

"Good girl~" Shen Nuonuo gently rubbed her little head, feeling somewhat heartbroken.

"Mm-hm, Big Sister, let's sort out the gifts together!"

As she spoke, Qian Renxue immediately dumped everything out with a series of loud thumps.

Watching this whole sequence of actions, Shen Nuonuo really wanted to tell Qian Renxue, Kiddo, you're a girl. That was a little too rough.

The things she poured out included:

Watches, Mahjong tiles, cards, alcohol, jewelry, flowers, all kinds of books, some strange and unusual toys, snacks, and so on.

This was what they had bought with nearly fifty Gold Soul Coins.

"Little Xue, I don't know the preferences of the worshippers and Elders, so I'll have to rely on you for that." Shen Nuonuo looked innocently at the things on the bed, but she really did not know.

The original novel had barely described the worshippers. The moment they appeared, their lives were already counting down. Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo had received a little more description, and she only knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo liked flowers and plants. She knew nothing else.

"Mhm, leave it to me, Big Sister!" Qian Renxue carefully arranged the items.

Shen Nuonuo sat beside Qian Renxue and organized the gift-wrapping paper. Her hands were very deft, and she could wrap it into exquisite gift boxes.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Qian Renxue had finished assigning the gifts. "Big Sister, I'm done!"

"Then Little Xue, who are these gifts for?" Shen Nuonuo saw Qian Renxue's eager expression, practically begging to be asked, and went along with her.

"Hehe, this deck of cards and the Mahjong set are for Fifth Grandfather. He'll definitely like them!" Qian Renxue said with certainty.

Ever since Qian Renxue had learned to walk, Qingluan Douluo had often taken her out to play. One could say that he had spent no less time with her than her father, Qian Xunji.

Shen Nuonuo nodded. Based on her guesses after watching the anime, she felt that Qingluan Douluo was playful, so cards really did suit him.

"Then who are these two Hair Combs for?" Shen Nuonuo asked, looking at the two combs that seemed to be of fairly good quality.

"I want to give the pink one to Mother, and the green one to Second Grandfather."

When Qian Renxue mentioned Bibi Dong, her mood dipped again, but she quickly recovered.

Shen Nuonuo found it strange. It was normal for Bibi Dong, a woman, to like combs, but it was rather odd for Golden Crocodile Douluo, a man, to like Hair Combs.

"Then this Razor and these books... surely they aren't for your grandpa?"

Shen Nuonuo recalled Qian Daoliu's appearance. He did not seem to have a beard!

Perhaps Qian Daoliu liked reading?

"Big Sister, congratulations, you guessed wrong! Little Xue is giving this Razor to Fourth Grandfather! He has so much beard, he definitely needs it!"

Qian Renxue felt that the beard greatly affected Lion Douluo's image.

At those words, Shen Nuonuo's mouth twitched slightly. Recalling Mighty Lion Douluo's appearance in the anime, he really did have a lot of beard beneath his face. It seemed there was nothing wrong with Qian Renxue giving him this.

"These books are for Third Grandfather. He really loves reading!" Qian Renxue continued.

"Then what should we give Grandpa, Little Xue?"

Shen Nuonuo was not surprised that Qingluan Douluo liked books, but she was curious about what Qian Daoliu liked. In the original novel, his greatest wish had been for Qian Renxue to become a god.

"Hehe, I'm giving Grandpa a Stone Statue! I carved it myself! Grandpa will definitely like it!"
