“Move it, don’t block the way!” Tan Bing, carrying a plate of braised chicken, saw Zheng De standing in her path and couldn’t help but snap at him. Hearing this, Zheng De shrank back his neck and stepped aside, muttering helplessly, “Wife, what are you rushing around so much for? It’s not like the future son-in-law is officially coming over.

The howling cold wind carried heavy snowflakes, blanketing the world in white. During this Minor Snow solar term, anywhere in the Huainan region was a scene of pure snow-covered landscapes. Mu Sheng, wearing a felt hat and a thick cotton coat, glanced at Gu Ning'an, who was dressed as usual in a thin green robe, and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Gu, aren’t you cold at all?

Just as Redtail Fish was reminiscing with Hu Shi about the past, he suddenly turned and dashed toward where the splash had occurred. “Someone fell into the water!” Hearing this, Hu Shi immediately shifted from sitting to a prone position, eyes locked on the surface of the river. As they drew closer to the riverbank, Hu Shi suddenly pointed, “To the left, it’s an old man!” “He’s already sinking!” Upon hearing that, Redtail…

The scorching sun blazed overhead, making Eternal Slumber City feel like a giant furnace. At times like this, a bowl of iced dessert was especially tempting. Using local ingredients, Gu Ning'an crushed some sea buckthorn berries, mixed them with water and a bit of preserved fruit, and made a drink that closely resembled ice jelly. At the moment, the vast Taste of Freshness inn was occupied by Gu Ning'an alone. Innkeeper Hua had already retired to her room to rest, while he sat near the main entrance,…
