Everyone Wants to Ascend—But You Descended? Sharing stories over wine 2273 words 2026-04-11 01:07:00

Beside the spot where the vanity was placed were messy footprints; it seemed someone had come after Ji Li left.

Mo Yunyuan sighed, "For all these years, I've only ever cared for her like a younger sister." As he spoke, Mo Yunyuan could not explain why, but he suddenly felt a subtle sense of unease in his heart.

Even standing deep within it, Yang Houtun could feel the wisps of biting cold air pouring down from the snow-capped mountains above.

Nianzi had struggled for a long time, yet managed to remove only one outer garment from Niangniang. How could a woman wrapped in layers wear merely a single coat?

To Yang Houtun, this scene closely resembled a surgical operation in the mortal realm, with the sole exception that the surgeons were two supreme sovereigns of Yin and Yang.

"You should rest. There is still time, and we can discuss this thoroughly again!" Ye Yao said anxiously.

In the past, she had merely learned a bit of culinary arts to establish a foothold in the Leng family and please her father. Later, when she could no longer stay in the Leng family and joined the military, cooking became a part of her life. Whenever she tasted a delicious dish in the mess hall, she would pester the chef with endless questions, eventually mastering several recipes.

The hunchbacked old man stood completely motionless in his place, which made Su Jiuer feel quite uneasy. She watched as he effortlessly caught the leaf, her eyes widening in disbelief, thinking she must have been seeing things.

In his previous life, he possessed five types of true qi and was on the verge of completing the Dao Palace realm. Unfortunately, his lifespans wheel had withered away, leaving him just one step short of attaining sagehood.

Precisely because of his uncontentious and non-competitive personality, he had been surpassed by Yao Qiming, who was originally his subordinate.

"The host's behavior and mental state are abnormal; the system diagnoses this as idiotic behavior!" The emotionless voice of the system left Fu Jingtao feeling utterly helpless.

The divine soul, which was originally only bathed in immortal golden light, now seemed entirely transformed into pure gold. From the inside out, a qualitative change had taken place, with every single thread of soul consciousness exuding an immortal essence, achieving a complete metamorphosis.

"I wonder what you are doing right now?" Qin Liu thought, looking in the direction Lu Chuan had just departed.

"I was just thinking that since you are so well-behaved and adorable, I wonder who you will marry when you grow up." Lin Bai gently pinched her cheek.

While Zhang Zhaoxia and her companions were enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, Wu Xie's communication on his side was far from ideal. Even after he informed the fake Huo Xiuxiu of Zhang Jinshan's fate, he still failed to dispel their resolve to enter the Ancient Mansion of the Zhang Family.

"The specific circumstances require a detailed investigation. I have a rough guess: it's possible that this company later changed its line of business, leaving behind unused steel plate materials, or perhaps there was some special significance to it, which is why it was preserved," Fu Jingtao speculated.

In the blink of an eye, the man appeared directly in front of Lu Chuan without making the slightest sound. Startled, Lu Chuan leaped back several steps.

"This... This is impossible? Taiyin has stepped into Hunyuan?" The Sun God could not help rubbing his eyes, looking at the Kunlun Immortal Realm in utter shock, thinking he was dreaming.

Shielded by spiritual energy, Ye Xiu passed through the torrent of water only to discover a whole new world hidden inside! Surprisingly, there was no water inside the doorway! It was no different from dry land, completely resembling a grotto dwelling! Mountain rocks stood tall, surrounded by green vines, and the only flaw was the cold! It was not a physical chill, but rather a sensation that made Ye Xiu's very soul tremble.

While Pang Tianya was speaking, he had already made his move. Knowing that Lin Chen was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and of little use, he was grateful that Lin Chen had shattered the black cloud, thus presenting him with an opportunity.

Ye Chen checked the ticket and seat number, then stood up to swap seats with the other person, taking the middle seat among the three.

"Mom..." Looking at Xue Qing'er whom his mother had pushed down, Li Chengbin felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.

Following this business trip, Gu Gang decided to give Xue Qing'er a proper promotion and award her a better position.

The two grenades thrown by Luffy and Ye Guolang completely failed to hit their target, which was something they could not help.

She did not understand his high-sounding talk of imposing aura, so she simply said whatever came to mind. Finding it awkward to hold back her laughter, and fearing others might mistake her for someone formidable if she tried to look stern, she simply maintained a faint smile to avoid looking foolish.

To put it directly, the City-wide League is a channel—a dedicated channel specifically for creating professional gamers.

"It's useless, Dugu Wubai. Your power cannot shatter my Sword Domain." Hua No-show wore a calm and collected smile on his face.

Wan Xin smiled secretly in bed, mentally applauding her best friend. She cast a sidelong glance at Hu Cancan and continued to sleep soundly with her head covered.

However, Giggs did not advance with the ball for long before Gerrard blocked his path, his legs slightly bent and his eyes locked intently on Giggs, ready to intercept the ball at any moment.

Since the urban area wouldn't do, they had to go to the suburbs. On this day, the two of them came to the western suburbs of Haidian District, not far from Fragrant Hills, which was also the best season to view the red autumn leaves.

"Hehe, I can guarantee that much. I'd actually like to see who dares to rob the items escorted by my Xiaoyao Mercenary Corps," I said with confidence.

The consequences of offending Haladhun would undoubtedly be extremely terrifying. Imperial Noble Consort Zhuang and Namuful were not easy to deal with either. What on earth should be done?

"They are merely playing themselves; how could they possibly need my help?" Meng Qing peeled an orange lazily, without even lifting his eyes.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, I still have more here!" Moyang chuckled. Gluttons were always the easiest to deal with; fortunately, he had brought plenty of provisions when setting out this time.

By this time, Haladhun had already fallen asleep. Sawa was an old servant of the Palace of Guanqiu, and having her testify would make things much easier.

Minghan's expression was no better than his; his face was covered in dark lines: This Sect Master of the Slaying Love Sect was simply too hateful! You are fighting the opponent yourself, why must you constantly drag our Phoenix Clan into it? Isn't this just asking for trouble for us?

Zhang Yan took his orders and left, while Chen Xu led the remaining fifty thousand troops in a grand march into Taiyuan Commandery.

Blood slowly trickled down into his throat, extinguishing the physical agony like a fire extinguisher. An indescribable comfort spread throughout his entire body. The qi within him was shifting, merging, and sublimating, while a surge of new strength rapidly filled his body, permeating every one of his limbs and bones! A powerful sensation rapidly sprouted within him.

Born from different backgrounds, the two had vastly different trains of thought. Both felt the other was somewhat tedious, when suddenly they heard the sound of pounding hooves from a cavalry troop appearing far behind them.

"You harmed Xiaoxiao so miserably and ruined her relationship; shouldn't you take responsibility? If it weren't for your scandals, I don't think things would have turned out this badly."

"What did you think—" Ming Rong suddenly opened her eyes wide, a trace of persistent, probing threat lingering in her pupils.

"Awan, Qihan came here specifically to apologize to you today." Every time, Bai Qijun was the one left to clean up the mess, something he seemed already accustomed to.
