Qian Renxue climbed up smoothly. After taking out a Little Piggy Bank with a combination lock, she carefully climbed down from the stool.
Shen Nuonuo walked over to Qian Renxue. "Little Xue, what is this?"
"Here, Sister. This is my gift for meeting you."
Qian Renxue gripped the hem of her clothes, lowered her violet eyes, and handed the little bank to Shen Nuonuo.
When Shen Nuonuo heard that it was a gift from Qian Renxue, her eyes sparkled like stars. Smiling brightly, she accepted it. "Thank you, my Little Xue."
"You're welcome." Qian Renxue's face reddened slightly, her violet eyes lighting up as though honey had melted into them.
Shen Nuonuo truly felt that human children were cutest at this age. Once they grew up, especially after starting school, they would do all sorts of stupidly reckless things.
Shen Nuonuo held the pink little bank, which even had a tiny combination lock hanging from it.
She did not ask Qian Renxue for the password. Trusting her instincts, she casually entered six digits: one, two, three, four, five, six.
With a clatter.
The combination lock opened.
Just as simple as she had expected.
Qian Renxue looked at Shen Nuonuo with admiration.
Sister was really so smart.
Shen Nuonuo's lips curled up, and she felt a little smug.
She knew that children's passwords were either one, two, three, four, five, six; nine, seven, eight, six, five, four; or several identical digits strung together.
Inside the Little Piggy Bank was a blue Storage Soul Tool Ring.
This ring was definitely worth a great deal.
Shen Nuonuo opened the ring. Inside were a Golden Card and several precious gemstones.
Whoa, is Shen Nuonuo about to get rich overnight?!
"Little Xue, if you gave all this to me, won't you have nothing left?"
Shen Nuonuo had completely forgotten Qian Renxue's identity at that moment. She worried that Little Xue was too innocent and could easily be deceived.
Qian Renxue honestly replied, "No. These were just birthday gifts from those people outside."
"Oh." Only then did Shen Nuonuo relax. She took out the Golden Card and examined it carefully. When she turned it over and saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda emblem in the bottom-right corner, she understood at once.
Holy shit, this card was actually given by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was practically as rich as a nation, swimming in money. The card Ning Fengzhi gave the Pope's daughter must have had a lot of money in it, right?
Eh, no, wait. How did Ning Fengzhi know Qian Renxue?
Oh, right. In the original story, Ning Fengzhi knew that the Pope had a daughter, but she died young at nine.
When Qian Renxue heard that she would die young at nine, her little face instantly turned pale, and panic appeared in her eyes.
Shen Nuonuo did not notice Qian Renxue's expression. She continued studying the card bearing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's emblem.
Hey, System, how much money do you think is in this card? I remember that in the original story, Ning Fengzhi spent five million to buy Tang San's hidden weapons, then gave him a card like this.
I don't know, but I think there should be at least one million.
Heh heh heh, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really is rich.
Shen Nuonuo was in an excellent mood. When she turned to the side, she saw that Qian Renxue looked a little pale. She reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why is your face so pale?"
"Sister Nuonuo, how old do you think I'll live to be?" After asking, Qian Renxue nervously lowered her head.
Shen Nuonuo did not think much of it. It was normal for children to fear death, so she comforted her. "Soul Masters live very long lives. Ordinary people generally live between sixty and eighty years, while Soul Masters live much longer than ordinary people.
"High-level Soul Masters, especially Titled Douluo and above, like Grandpa—he's already over a hundred years old. Under normal circumstances, living another one or two hundred years would be no problem for him."
Ah, Grandpa's ending was to die for Little Xue. I wonder if I can change his fate in the future.
Qian Renxue's face turned even paler. She wanted to ask Shen Nuonuo why Grandpa would die for her.
She opened her mouth to ask, but no words came out.
Seeing that Qian Renxue wanted to speak but hesitated, Shen Nuonuo wrapped an arm around her small shoulders like a big sister. "Don't worry, Little Xue. You'll definitely live a long, long life."
Let your sister save you. You'll definitely live for tens of millions of years in the future.
Warmth welled up in Qian Renxue's heart. "Okay."
If I live for tens of millions of years, Grandpa won't have to die protecting me!
"Grrr."
"Little Xue, let's go eat first!"
Shen Nuonuo's stomach growled. She was only a six-year-old kid now and had no ability to endure hunger at all.
Qian Renxue blinked. "Sister Nuonuo, where are we eating?"
Shen Nuonuo instantly choked up. Good grief, she had forgotten—she had only been here for two hours and did not know her way around at all!
"Ahem, Little Xue, where do you usually eat? Does anyone eat with you?" Shen Nuonuo's expression was a little unnatural.
Qian Renxue thought for a moment. "Usually, I eat in my room. Sometimes Grandpa comes to eat with me."
"What about your parents?" Shen Nuonuo regretted asking as soon as the words left her mouth.
"Papa is too busy and has no time to be with me. Mama doesn't want to." Qian Renxue looked dejected and sad.
Shen Nuonuo fell silent.
Bibi Dong was unwilling to accompany Qian Renxue as she grew up. As a woman herself, Shen Nuonuo could completely understand that.
But what was going on with Qian Xunji?
What happened to his duty as a father?
No matter how busy he was, surely he could spare time to eat with his daughter.
"As long as I have you, it's fine." Thinking that she had gained a sister today, Qian Renxue became very happy.
"Okay." Shen Nuonuo gazed deeply at Qian Renxue with her orange eyes.
Qian Renxue pressed a button on the wall and called toward it, "Uncle Chef, Sister and I are both hungry. Make an extra portion today."
"Yes, Young Master." The chef's respectful voice came from the other side.
"Sister, Uncle Chef's food is really delicious. You'll definitely like it."
"Mm-hmm." Shen Nuonuo was tempted by her words and licked her lips. She was rather curious about what Spirit Hall's food was like.
Shen Nuonuo was quite sociable and chatted with Qian Renxue. Ten minutes later, an attendant knocked on the door outside.
"Come in."
Two female attendants carried in the dishes and greeted them both. "Young Master, Miss Shen."
Qian Renxue and Shen Nuonuo nodded at the same time.
After placing the food, bowls, and chopsticks on the dining table, the attendants quietly withdrew.
The food smelled wonderful, appetizing at just a glance.
Three meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
A plate of crispy pork.
A plate of stir-fried beef.
A plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
And a plate of broccoli stir-fried with chicken.
Shen Nuonuo was stunned.
It could be said that it was almost entirely meat.
"Little Xue, you don't like vegetables either?" Shen Nuonuo widened her eyes and asked with some difficulty.
Qian Renxue shook her head. "Vegetables don't taste good. They're bland, so I don't really like them."
"But you need a balanced diet. You're still young, so don't be picky with food." Shen Nuonuo repeated the words her grandmother had told her in her previous life.
"Mm. That's why I eat broccoli. That makes my diet balanced." Qian Renxue agreed as well.
