Begging others was like swallowing a three-foot sword; relying on others was like climbing to the Ninth Heaven

"But... what do changes among the Humans have to do with my drinking?"

At Gu Changqing's words, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Duobao and the others beside them all froze.

They could have racked their brains to pieces and never imagined that Gu Changqing would respond like this.
