Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 178 Gifts from Everyone

The internal force cultivated through Xuantian Gong is moderate, peaceful, mysterious and infinite.

The nameless anger in Tang San's heart was quickly wiped out.

But in a place that Tang San didn't notice, there was still a very faint emotion rooted deep in his heart.

"This emotional aura is... greed!"

With the help of his state of mind, Lin Rong keenly sensed a faint but extremely pure emotion of greed that had just appeared in the garden.

"Such a pure smell of greed, could it be that?" Lin Rong pondered in his heart, and at the same time calmly looked around at the people in the garden, trying to find the source of the greedy smell.

However, the greedy aura just now was fleeting, and when Lin Rong noticed it, it had disappeared without a trace.

Lin Rong swept his gaze over everyone in the garden with a scrutinizing look. When he swept over Tang San and Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue, his gaze paused slightly.

Greed, one of the seven deadly sins.

If the greedy aura he sensed just now was related to the inheritance of the throne of the God of Greed, one of the seven original sin gods.

Then, among the people present in this garden, the only ones most likely to be chosen by the God of Greed to inherit the throne are Qian Renxue and Tang San.

Although Qian Renxue is the descendant of the Angel God, she has not yet inherited the Angel God's throne and cannot be considered the Angel God's successor.

The bloodline of the Angel God and the inherited martial spirit of the six-winged angel have no impact on Qian Renxue's inheritance of other divine positions.

Tang San, without the Tang Sect plug-in, his real talent is “???”, which is difficult to judge.

But Tang San, who has the Tang Sect plug-in, is indeed a top-notch talent in this world in terms of talent, and his greedy character of wanting everything is a perfect fit for the position of the God of Greed.

"If it is really related to the Greedy Godhood, who are these two?"

While Lin Rong was thinking, the engagement party had already reached the stage where the guests were giving gifts.

The order of sending gifts is not based on the status of the guests present, but on the time they arrived.

Among the guests present, Lin Rong arrived neither too early nor too late, and it would take a while before it was his turn.

Ye Wenxin arrived very early, and now it was his turn.

The Ye family has been good at gardening for generations, so most of the gifts they sent were precious flowers with beautiful meanings, especially a pot of golden tulips, which attracted the attention of the guests with its gorgeous colors and rich fragrance.

"The fragrance of this tulip is so rich, elegant and yet not cloying." Du Qianyuan praised softly.

They were in a remote corner of the garden, but even so they could smell the rich fragrance of the flowers, which showed how strong the scent of tulips was.

"Yuyin also likes gardening and flowers, but her favorite flower is not tulips, but..." Du Qianyuan stroked his grandson's head and spoke quietly.

"It's the lotus." After delivering the gift, Ye Wenxin returned to this secluded corner. After hearing Du Qianyuan's words, he spoke first:
"And among the several colors of lotus, Yuyin likes the white lotus the most."

"The pond full of lotus flowers in the Lin family manor was planted by Yuyin herself."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I'm rude."

At the end, Ye Wenxin apologized for interrupting someone.

"No problem." Du Qianyuan said nonchalantly.

If it were someone else, he might have still nagged a few words, but Ye Wenxin was different. If it weren't for the reason of the Ye family's inherited martial spirit, his daughter might have been with Ye Wenxin.

Because Ye Wenxin and his daughter have the same hobby: gardening and flowers.

The guests present sent out the gifts they had prepared one after another, and soon it was the turn of the three forces: the Lin family, the royal family, and the Tang clan.

The three families arrived at almost the same time, so according to the order of seniority, the royal family presented gifts first, followed by the Lin family, and the Tang family last.

As the ruler of Tiandou, the gifts sent by the royal family are undoubtedly the most luxurious and precious gifts ever sent.

One by one, rare treasures with auspicious and beautiful meanings were taken out from the soul guide by Xue Qinghe and placed on the altar in the garden.

Finally, Xue Qinghe took out an exquisitely crafted music box from the soul guide.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Cries of surprise came from the crowd.

"This music box is not only beautiful, it is also a soul guide handed down from ancient times and has been treasured in the royal treasury for many years."

Xue Qinghe walked forward, handed the music box in his hand to Ning Rongrong, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle and elegant manner:
"Open it and take a look. Young Master Ning will like it."

"Soul guide?" Ning Rongrong looked down at the exquisite and gorgeous music box in her hand. At Xue Qinghe's urging, she curiously opened the lid of the music box.

The moment the music box was opened, melodious music flowed through the garden.

At the same time, as the lid of the music box opened, the scene inside the music box appeared in front of Ning Rongrong.

"This, this is me! And, and Xiao, Xiao Ao!"

Ning Rongrong looked down at the white jade statue of a man and a woman embracing and spinning inside the music box. The faces of this couple statue carved from white jade were exactly the same as hers and Oscar's.

Seeing this, Xue Qinghe gently reminded: "Master Ning, don't just stare at your couple statue. Remember what I said, this is an ancient soul guide. Try to inject soul power into the music box, and you will get a surprise!"

Xue Qinghe's words brought Ning Rongrong back to her senses and she did as she was told.

With the infusion of soul power, the music box in Ning Rongrong's hand began to emit a faint colorful halo.

Soon, the colorful halo spread to every corner of the garden, transforming the scene here into a bright night sky with a full moon hanging high in the sky and numerous stars.

"This ancient soul guide is called the Illusionary Music Box. It can create eight different illusions engraved inside the music box according to the user's wishes."

Xue Qinghe's voice echoed in the garden, introducing Ning Rongrong as well as everyone present:

"The statues inside the music box can be replaced. The original pair of statues were also a couple. It is said that they were made by an ancient soul mentor as a token of love for his wife."

"However, as a gift, the statue was naturally replaced with a couple statue of Young Master Ning and Mr. Oscar."

As Ning Rongrong stopped injecting soul power into the music box, the illusion of the night sky disappeared and the scene returned to the castle garden of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I like this gift from the royal family very much." Ning Rongrong politely bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe and handed the music box in her hand to Oscar.

After the royal gifts were delivered, it was the turn of the Lin family represented by Lin Rong.

However, Lin Rong did not step forward, but the old butler went up to present the gift on his behalf.
