One Drink to Dispel a Thousand Sorrows

Jin Yulian left me with a parting remark: “If you need money, come find me at the company tomorrow. From now on, we’re square!” Upon hearing those words, I knew our relationship was truly over; she had lost all hope in me. I understood why she made such a choice—desire exists in both men and women. She had guarded her chastity for so many years, just to prove there was a place for me in her heart. She was willing to endure hardship all those years for my sake! Who...

Before Li Rui could speak, Xue Xiaoni, seated in the passenger seat, suddenly pushed open the door and got out, then circled around to pull the driver from his seat. She immediately tried to shift gears, frightening the driver into scrambling into the passenger seat, terrified she might be a car thief.

Li Chen planned to wait until Chen Song’s mother’s health improved, then bring him along to clean up the place and get all the office supplies and necessities in order.

But when he saw the filthy stains from the latrine smeared on his lapel, his mood, which had just begun to brighten, plunged once again into the depths.

Watching Jun Wuxie merely open his eyes, motionless and expressionless, Luo Qingyue was seized by a sudden panic.

These things really were the rubbish Tong Bao had described. After walking forward about ten meters, Li Chen didn’t spot any divine weapons resembling the seven swords he had shattered.

“So it’s Liu Shuyi,” Yun Duoduo’s gaze flickered. A weasel wishing the chicken a happy new year—nothing good could come of it. She must have waited quite some time to meet her; otherwise, why would she appear just as Murong Che departed?

When the morning drizzle fell softly, a figure cloaked in gray appeared.

Glancing around at the scene, Mu Jingqi’s eyes flashed with confusion, but then understanding dawned: this was a turning point. Without hesitation, he seized the sword on the ground and began slashing at the soldiers from the Western Moon Kingdom.

His blood surged once more, and the face of the man in black shifted from dark to blue, then from blue to red, from red to violet, finally settling into a pale gray. His clenched fists crackled as the bones rubbed together.

Meanwhile, Rong Qian left Xuanyuan Tianyue’s room, feeling a heavy weight pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Memories she thought long forgotten seemed poised to resurface.

After enduring a failed relationship, Qi Xin’er had matured. She no longer yearned blindly for a life among the rich and powerful; now, a simple, peaceful existence seemed the best destination.

Given Chu Feng’s current strength, if he wished to use the “Mountain Overturning Seal,” it would consume at least half of his internal energy.

“The windows are bulletproof,” Han Yi said. The main reason he chose this office was precisely because of those windows.

The saber-toothed tigers had been ready for some time; their muscles taut to the limit, and in that instant, they shot forward like wind and lightning.

Outside, the imperial attendants trembled at the sounds within. Their steps unconsciously approached, wanting to seek the emperor’s instructions, but with no command from him, none dared make a move.

“Honey, let’s buy a bit more,” Su Yan was already pondering how much she’d need to bring back this time.

He truly cared for her, and that love hadn’t changed. Yet, thinking of the possibility they could never be together, and of the place he might never reach, just the thought made her retreat.

She didn’t believe he’d kill it, but the matter of her miscarriage still weighed on her heart—it was his child, after all.

“Liu Liuwu pays respects to Your Majesty.” Liu Wu was now covered in wounds, his blue robes stained with blood, though the bleeding had been staunched, thanks to the efforts of Mo Shang and Mo Ran.

“Since Prince Jing knows I have a backup plan, I certainly won’t believe you don’t. Let’s each reveal our final arrangements—today, let us settle this with a decisive battle!” Xin Yueheng felt nothing of the pain left by the wound on her leg; her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
