Ascension: Cursed Blood - Chapter 14: Flaming Duck

The year was 2026, and the world wasn't what it used to be. Ever since the Abyss Gates cracked open three years ago, spilling monsters and dungeons across the planet, life had turned into a chaotic mess. Cities were half-ruined, half-rebuilt, and people clung to whatever normalcy they could find. Hunters—those brave or crazy enough to fight the monsters—became the new heroes. Everyone else? Well, they just tried to survive.Fin wasn't a Hunter. He wasn't a hero either.He was just… Fin. A lanky 19-year-old with messy brown hair, a chipped front tooth from a dumb skateboard accident, and a power that everyone called useless. Absorption. Sounds cool, right? Like he could suck up energy or steal someone's strength. Nope. All it did was let him “feel” things he touched a little more than normal. He could tell you the exact texture of a brick wall or how warm a coffee mug was—big whoop. No fireballs, no super strength, no flashy moves. Just a glorified touchy-feely trick.“Fin, you gonna eat that sandwich or just stare at it like it's gonna confess its life story?” Meg's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.He blinked and looked across the rickety table at his best friend. Meg was short, loud, and had a wild mop of dyed purple hair that she swore made her look “intimidating.” It didn't.

Tian Mi, a single mother with two children, has finally gotten her life under control… that is, until a handsome VIP at the hotel where she works claims to know her and is somehow in possession of her wedding ring from her former marriage. If that wasn’t enough, her ex-husband, now a successful entrepreneur, has also shown up, and is looking to rekindle their relationship. Who is this stranger? Why has her husband returned? Will she choose new love over an old flame?

The invincible strongman who roams through the city by day and night, a supreme soldier king that moves across the urban landscape.

In a group pet novel, the sinister and powerful business emperor accidentally became comatose. But no one knew that his consciousness was soberly trapped in his unconscious body.

Ning Yi transmigrated from the bitter world full of zombies to become his cannon fodder wife. Because she had to marry for her sister, her mentality was distorted, and she was about to abuse her disabled husband.

Then, suddenly the bodies of the two of them swapped.

Seeing Ning Yi lying like a dead body instead of him, the man’s voice was full of malice as he asked, “How does it feel?”

–Can’t hear, can’t move, can only wait for others to slaughter.

Ning Yi, “It’s so quiet, the bed is so soft. Let’s sleep for a while….zzZZ”

Gu Cheng, “?”

–
For Ning Yi, who has been living in the apocalyptic world for three years, her biggest wish is to lie down and sleep peacefully.

After learning that she can freely control the interpenetration with the big boss, Ning Yi affectionately said, “I am willing to lie down for you, in exchange for your freedom.”

So when the wealthy mother-in-law tested whether she would be impatient to scrub her husband— Ning Yi said, “Husband, come and take care of your body!”

When the elder of the Gu family challenges that if she can clean up the property, then that will be her’s— Ning Yi said, “Husband, come and exercise!”

Gu Cheng, “…” Very good.

Originally, everyone was waiting for Gu Cheng to wake up and kick out Ning Yi. But in the end, they saw that her life was going smoothly, her mother-in-law was like sisters with her, and she had become a wealthy upstart!

…
At the high-class dinner party, Ning Yi was stopped by young talent to exchange contacts. As soon as she took out her mobile phone, the audience suddenly fell silent.

——The man who has fallen in legend is looking as handsome as before and has calmly appeared on the stage.

Seeing his wife with others, he immediately jumped over the crowd and stopped behind Ning Yi with his tall body, his dark eyes filled with cold possessiveness, “Why didn’t you call your husband?”
