"Wedding dowry?" Nanli was taken aback.
Upon closer inspection of the items in the box, she discovered that the gemstones were of the highest quality, lustrous and full, emitting a faint colorful glow under the illumination of the candles.
There were even two pearls, each as big as a fingernail, clearly valuable.
"Yes, they are all for you," Chu Shuo nodded, "You are my dear sister, and when you marry, you deserve the finest dowry."
Nanli blinked, "But I have never intended to marry."
"Why? If you don't marry, both father and mother will be heartbroken. Besides, I won't have any use for these dowries," Chu Shuo insisted.
"I want to eliminate all the evil spirits and demons in the world, I don't have time for that," Nanli replied naturally.
Moreover, having lived two lifetimes, she didn't quite understand the concept of romantic love.
