Jiang Ning's Shamelessness!

Early morning.

Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky, scattering far and wide.

In the rear courtyard of the residence.

Xia Xuanyan and Jiang Ning sat facing each other. On the stone table between them stood a small red-clay stove, its charcoal burning brightly.

Xia Xuanyan lifted the teapot and poured into the cup before Jiang Ning.

The tea flowed into the white jade cup, its deep yellow hue warm and lustrous, without a leaf in sight.

It rippled through the white jade cup, thick as syrup, its aura seeming to make even the surrounding air heavier and stiller.

"Try it," Xia Xuanyan said mildly.

Jiang Ning lifted his cup.

He blew gently, sending ripples across the tea.

Then he slowly took a sip.

As the tea entered his stomach, a warm, weighty current instantly spread through his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

The next moment.

A flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes.

As the current entered his organs, he felt a warm, enduring vitality slowly spreading through his body.

The tea did not directly transform into surging blood energy or true essence.

Instead, it quietly melded into his limbs, bones, organs, and meridians, silently reinforcing his body's foundations like the earth nourishing all things.

Nourished by this power, he also felt the curse within his organs being suppressed and worn away.

His expression relaxed, his brow smoothing. Color returned to his face, and some of the purple faded from his lips.

He took another sip and slowly swallowed.

As the tea entered his stomach, another warm, weighty current spread outward.

Seeing the notification appear before him, another flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

At the same time.

Xia Xuanyan noticed Jiang Ning's expression as well.

A faint smile immediately appeared at the corners
