Returning To Jiangnan

After Fang Ruchen took a small sip of the spiritual wine in his cup, his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly looked up at Ning Wangshu in surprise. "Mister Ning, this spiritual brew of yours... it really is extraordinary!"

"Not only is the flavor incredible—rich and smooth, with a lingering aftertaste—but it's better than any wine I've ever had. As soon as it went down, I felt a warm current rise inside me and flow through my whole body. Every pore seemed to open up, and even the True Qi within me seemed to circulate much more smoothly!"

Fang Ruchen exclaimed in amazement.

Beside him, Zhu Xiyan couldn't help nodding her little head. "Mm-hmm, exactly! I feel the same way. I only had a tiny sip, but I can already feel my True Qi circulating much more smoothly!"

Though she had only swallowed a tiny sip, two faint blushes had already appeared on her cheeks.

"Heh, right?"

Ning Wangshu smiled, then said, "Come on, everyone, let's eat."

After that, he turned to Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan. "Ruoxuan, Xiao Yan, take your time drinking. Once we've finished eating and drinking, hurry up and refine it. Don't waste the effects of this wine."

"Mm-hmm, okay, bro!"

Ning Ruoxuan hurriedly nodded.

Zhu Xiyan also replied, "Okay, Brother Ning!"

The group chatted as they ate and drank.

Just then, Ning Ruoxuan seemed to think of something, and her mood suddenly grew a little somber.

Ning Wangshu and Fang Ruchen both noticed and glanced at her.

Fang Ruchen couldn't help asking, "Ruoxuan, what's wrong?"

Ning Ruoxuan opened her mouth, then looked at Ning Wangshu, hesitating to speak.

Ning Wangshu had already guessed. He sighed softly, reached out, and gently ruffled his little sister's hair. "Ruoxuan, are you... missing Mom and Dad?"

"Mm."

Ning Ruoxuan
