776 Terrified
“It seems that the king is in a good mood. He even wants to have a feast.”

Jiang Ming walked over slowly with a fan in his hand. His words were sarcastic.

Xu Xiaxia looked at Jiang Ming and knew that he had come with ill intentions. She planned to leave secretly.

She had already suffered once. She could not suffer a second time.

Thus, she turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Jiang Ming had already noticed Xu Xiaxia, who was planning to sneak away. He secretly put a spell on her.

As soon as she tried to leave, Xu Xiaxia got a splitting headache.

She had no choice but to return to her original position.

King Fengyu noticed Xu Xiaxia’s movements and called out to her. “Witch, where are you going? Everyone here has to stay!”

Xu Xiaxia did not expect to be noticed by King Fengyu. She calmed herself down and said to the king, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will follow you no matter what.”

Jiang Ming only rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Xu Xiaxia had wanted to leave just now, but now she was pretending to be loyal.

King Fengyu did not believe Xu Xiaxia’s words. He did not even reply to Xu Xiaxia. He looked at Jiang Ming and said, “I knew you were coming. You definitely didn’t have lunch, right? Let’s have lunch together.”

“Where is Sikong Wuyuan?”

Jiang Ming looked at King Fengyu and went straight to the point.

King Fengyu immediately waved his hand and ordered his servants to carry Sikong Wuyuan over.

Sikong Wuyuan was still unconscious, and the poison had already seeped into his body.

Looking at Sikong Wuyuan, Jiang Ming took a deep breath, then walked to him and placed the long cape grass on Sikong Wuyuan’s body.

Sikong Wuyuan’s body glowed. The light surrounded him.

Xu Xiaxia’s heart skipped a beat as she watched. She could not help but want to steal the long cape grass.

Jiang Ming sensed Xu Xiaxia’s thoughts and looked straight at her. “Witch, you can’t take the long cape grass. You’d better know your place.”

Xu Xiaxia could not help but shiver. Her whole body trembled as she smiled at Jiang Ming. “How could I even entertain such thoughts? The long cape grass belongs to Sikong Wuyuan; I definitely can’t take it away.”

As she spoke, Sikong Wuyuan had already woken up. His face was still a little purple.

Jiang Ming felt that Sikong Wuyuan still needed more time to recuperate. He said to King Fengyu, “Take Sikong Wuyuan back and take good care of him. If you dare do anything to him, you’ll have to face the consequences.”

His words were extremely threatening. Everyone started to tremble. Their eyes were filled with panic and fear toward Jiang Ming, and their faces were ashen.

Jiang Ming originally wanted to scare these people, but when he saw everyone like this, he was stunned.

Why were they this scared? He had just said a few words!

King Fengyu waved his hand at his servants, ordering them to take Sikong Wuyuan away.

Afraid that Jiang Ming would continue to threaten him, he added, “Take good care of Sikong Wuyuan. If anything happens, I’ll hold you responsible!”

Sikong Wuyuan was still in a daze. When he heard the conversation between King Fengyu and Jiang Ming, he immediately woke up and looked at Jiang Ming. “See you later.”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and lay down on his back.

Since Ning Caichen had already settled everything, he just needed a good night’s sleep.

Jiang Ming also noticed that Sikong Wuyuan had half a piece of long cape grass on him, so he quickly took it away.

“I still have something to do. I’ll leave first,” Jiang Ming said politely as he looked at Sikong Wuyuan.

He would not bid farewell to the others. Those people were not worth it.

Sikong Wuyuan opened his eyes. “Be careful.”

Then, he fell asleep again.

“Lord Ning Caichen, have a safe journey.”

King Fengyu shouted at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming did not reply at all. He did not even look at King Fengyu and strode away.

When Jiang Ming had walked far away, King Fengyu roared angrily, “What right does Ning Caichen have to be so arrogant? I’ve never been treated this way! How ridiculous!”

Jiang Ming instantly appeared in front of King Fengyu. “What did you just say?”

Seeing Jiang Ming appear so quickly, King Fengyu was shocked, and his body began to tremble.

The others also panicked and looked at Jiang Ming. “This is all a misunderstanding. Don’t overthink.”

King Fengyu was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He muttered to himself.

How could this be? How did Ning Caichen appear so quickly?

Did he have some kind of divine treasure?

Seeing the silly look on King Fengyu’s face, Jiang Ming was amused. “Alright, I’m leaving. Let’s chat later.”

King Fengyu looked at Jiang Ming and nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ming turned around and left. Then, he hurried to the inn.

Liang Sisi had already suffered a huge blow. She was in a daze and kept dwelling on the issue.

She did not listen to Madam Zhenguo’s advice at all. Instead, she kept lamenting about her disfigurement.

Madame Zhenguo was trying to comfort her. However, Liang Sisi only nodded. She did not listen at all.

This was what Jiang Ming saw when he came in.

Liang Sisi noticed Jiang Ming’s arrival and quickly looked at him. “Ning Caichen, have you found a cure? How did it go?”

Jiang Ming noticed that she had covered half of her face and felt a little bad for her. He placed the long cape grass on Liang Sisi’s body.
Liang Sisi also glowed. Then, she looked much better. Her face had also returned to normal.

Madam Zhenguo could not help but say, “Everything went well. Your face has returned to normal.”

“Really?”

Liang Sisi was pleasantly surprised. She walked to the mirror and looked at her face.

Madame Zhenguo came in front of Liang Sisi and praised her. “Liang Sisi, you look stunning.”

Liang Sisi’s face was as red as a tomato after being praised. She blushed immediately. “Thank you, Madam Zhenguo.”

Madame Zhenguo smiled. “Liang Sisi, I’m just telling you the truth.”

Liang Sisi suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Ming. “Ning Caichen, how is Sikong Wuyuan? Is he okay now?”

Jiang Ming quickly replied, “Liang Sisi, don’t worry. Sikong Wuyuan is safe and sound now. He’s recuperating in the main hall of the palace.”

“Did King Fengyu make things difficult for you? What did he say? What happened? Did you encounter any danger?”

Liang Sisi asked a few more questions.

Jiang Mingyi replied patiently, “It wasn’t bad. I just told him to take good care of Sikong Wuyuan. After going into the mystic realm, I encountered danger, but I wasn’t injured.”
