The wind swept away the clouds.
The table full of dishes was quickly emptied.
Cao Cheng let out a satisfied belch. He was about ninety percent full.
He stood up.
He picked up his thermos. This thermos had been dropped yesterday, and its outer shell was dented and pitted, but it didn't affect the use of the inner liner.
He took out the [Ningxiang Tea]!
He pinched a few grams and dropped them into the cup.
Even before brewing, he could already smell the fragrance of the tea, which instantly made him feel refreshed.
What a good tea!
He boiled a kettle of water.
He brewed the tea.
As the steam rose, a rich and fragrant aroma wafted out.
The tea water presented a deep purple color.
It was extremely noble and enchanting.
Brewing it in a stainless - steel thermos obviously didn't do it justice. If he had better tea sets, he could enjoy the tea while admiring the tea water.
"Slurp——"
"Wow~~"
The taste was scalding hot.
But besides the heat, there was a feeling that this tea could only exist in heaven. The taste and the feeling hit his soul directly.
He had eaten something a bit greasy just now.
But after taking this small sip, the greasy feeling was instantly cleared, and he even felt like having a bowel movement.
"Slurp——"
After a while...
He put down the teacup and Cao, the young master, went into the bathroom.
It was just like in the novels where people take the marrow - cleansing pills. After drinking this tea, his intestines and the impurities in his body began to be cleaned.
No wonder it was called a celestial tea.
It was of great benefit even to ordinary people.
One catty.
It should be enough to drink.
At least it could last until his next draw.
After cleaning his intestines and accelerating the absorption of today's nutrients, Cao Cheng returned to the living room and continued to drink tea.
He wondered how many times these few grams of tea could be brewed?
Anyway, he would drink several more cups until the tea water had no color left. He couldn't waste it.
"Click~~"
At this moment.
The door opened.
Ren Yuege's charming figure appeared in front of him.
"Goodness, you little rascal! You're secretly drinking good tea?" Ren Yuege looked displeased.
Cao Cheng usually drank cheap tea scraps, which smelled ordinary.
During the more than one day she had been at home, she hadn't seen any good tea.
But now...
As soon as she went out, this guy was secretly drinking good tea.
Ren Yuege wasn't from an ordinary family. Although she didn't like tea, it didn't mean she had no knowledge.
Just by smelling it, she could tell it was something good.
"Ahem~~"
Cao Cheng pretended to be calm and covered the thermos with its lid, then hid it behind his back.
"… You're still hiding it? Hand it over."
"This is the tea for my own consumption. It's not that I won't share it with you. It's that you can't drink it. You'll get into trouble if you do." Cao Cheng looked serious, with a sincere look in his eyes.
"Come on, I don't believe it. Let me have a taste, you little rascal. I've always been generous to you, but you're hiding the tea from me. Do you think that's appropriate?"
"It's not that I'm hiding it. You really can't drink it. You'll get into trouble."
"Just tell me if you'll give it or not. Otherwise, I'll call Uncle Cao and tell him that you're not even willing to brew me a cup of tea!" Ren Yuege brought up Uncle Cao again.
Cao Cheng pretended to be helpless: "This is what you asked for. Don't blame me."
"I won't blame you. Hand it over."
Cao Cheng picked up a porcelain cup and poured some tea from the thermos.
Looking at the color of the tea.
She even said that the purple color was very charming.
The fragrance spread everywhere.
It was refreshing and made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ren Yuege didn't mind that the tea was poured from a thermos. She stepped forward, took a look, sniffed it, and her eyes lit up.
Then she drank it in one gulp.
The gentle tea slid down her throat, and Ren Yuege's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter.
She swore.
In her life, she had never drunk such delicious tea. No, not only tea, but also any other drinks or soups. Nothing was as good as this sip.
The taste of this tea seemed to be able to hit the soul directly, making her feel as if her body had become three - tenths lighter.
Ren Yuege showed a bit of dissatisfaction: "You little rascal, you've been secretly drinking such good tea? And you lied to me that something would happen. What kind of trouble? I've been so nice to you!"
After saying that.
Ren Yuege handed the cup to Cao Cheng: "One more cup."
Do you think this is a lottery draw?
One more cup?
Cao Cheng curled his lips and poured her another small cup, using the strategy of feigning withdrawal: "Something really will happen."
She ignored his words and this time sipped it slowly for a few times.
She smacked her lips.
She kept nodding: "It's really delicious. What kind of tea is this? The color is purple. Did they add something to it? Blueberries? No, there's no blueberry flavor... I've never seen this kind before."
"One more cup."
"Don't push your luck. Drinking too much of this stuff really will cause problems." Cao Cheng warned her for the Nth time.
"Hehe, really? I don't believe it!" Ren Yuege was a bit cocky.
"…"
Cao Cheng continued to pour her a cup.
After drinking this cup.
She started to feel something, and her face changed slightly.
Cao Cheng laughed and pointed to the toilet: "After you."
"!!"
Ren Yuege endured it for a while, but after a few seconds, her face turned red. She cursed him as a little rascal.
Conveniently, she also provided 20 points of emotional value.
After she rushed into the bathroom, she continued to provide negative emotions.
Cao Cheng was overjoyed. This sister had also learned to give a critical hit. Great!
With her around.
His next ten - draw was not far away.
…
Cao Cheng leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and hummed a song.
He slowly sipped his tea.
To be honest.
It was really delicious.
Especially when he was in a good mood, it tasted even better.
Next door, there were occasional firecracker sounds. Each explosion was accompanied by 1 - 3 points of negative emotion.
In just twenty minutes.
The emotional value that had just been emptied was about to break through 100 again.
How wonderful!
…
After about half an hour.
Ren Yuege came out of the bathroom, with a resentful look in her eyes, and her whole body was filled with negative energy.
It seemed that she was about to turn evil the next second.
Cao Cheng didn't meet her gaze and pretended not to know.
Instead, he poured her another small cup: "Here, drink more if you like it."
"…"
[Ding~ Negative emotion + 10]
Great!
It broke through 100.
Thanks to the number one on the gratitude list, 'Fourth Sister', for the emotional value.
Ren Yuege was extremely angry. With a blushing face, she stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cheng's ear.
This was the first physical contact between the siblings.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Cao Cheng tilted his head: "How old are you and still pinching people's ears?"
Ren Yuege's anger didn't subside: "Did you do this on purpose? Tell me."
"What should I tell you? I've told you so many times that something would happen. It's your own fault for not believing me. Now you're blaming me? Besides, it's just diarrhea. Do you really think you're a fairy who doesn't have diarrhea?"
[Ding~~ + 20]
Haha.
She was really mad.
Cao Cheng gasped: "It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go!"
Although his muscles had grown a bit.
But there were no muscles on his ears, only bones, and the pulling pain was really bad.
Ren Yuege gritted her teeth and stared at him angrily: "You did this on purpose, admit it."
"What should I admit? I've told you so many times that something would happen. You didn't believe me. Now you're blaming me? And it's just diarrhea. Do you think you're too good to have diarrhea?"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
