As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

866 I Don’t Seem to Know You

“Can you guess if there’s anything in this pastry?”

Jiang Ming sat on a stool near the table. His left hand knocked on the table, and then he pinched the pastry.

The pastries were exquisitely made and had a bit of a luster to them.

Liang Sisi loved pastries and could tell different pastry recipes apart. When she saw these pastries, she immediately wanted to smile. She said, “Ning Caichen, these pastries seem to be from my father’s chef.”

“Huh? Bai Heyu is quite interesting. He came to deliver the pastries sent by the Daliang Kingdom.”

Jiang Ming’s lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, the door slammed loudly, and a shout came from inside.

“Ling Yunxiao, come out quickly!”

The shout was crisp and clear. It was obviously the voice of a young woman.

Hearing this, Ling Yunxiao was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said excitedly, “Honey, you’re here!”

He took a step forward and opened the door.

A woman appeared in front of Jiang Ming and the others. The woman was wearing a tulle veil over her face.

The woman was delicate and beautiful with big, sparkling eyes that resembled the morning dew.

As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he stepped forward to hug the woman, but she pushed him away.

The woman glared at Ling Yunxiao coldly and shouted at him, “Get lost!”

Ling Yunxiao was deeply shocked. His eyes widened as he said in disbelief, “Honey, what’s wrong?”

The woman hated Ling Yunxiao even more and cursed, “Don’t call me your wife, I am the mermaid princess Xie Zhizhi! You are not good enough for me.”

Ling Yunxiao bit his lower lip and said to Xie Zhizhi in a wheedling tone, “My dear wife, what’s wrong with you? Did something bad happen?”

Xie Zhizhi completely ignored Ling Yunxiao. The corners of her mouth twitched as she walked to Jiang Ming.

“Ning Caichen, I’ve been waiting for you.”

These words stunned everyone present.

“Me?”

Jiang Ming suspected that he had misheard and pointed at himself.

“Yes.”

Xie Zhizhi seemed to have an inexplicable expression on her face.

Liang Sisi felt that something was wrong. She took a step forward and stopped Xie Zhi. “Xie Zhizhi, your husband is beside you. Is it really okay for you to be like this?”

Xie Zhizhi looked at Ling Yunxiao with disdain and said sarcastically, “I don’t remember having an incompetent husband.”

Ling Yunxiao suffered a heavy blow, and then instantly became depressed.

“Ling Yunxiao, say something. Your wife is talking about you like this!”

Liang Sisi felt that Ling Yunxiao was a little cowardly, so she immediately looked at him and added, “Ling Yunxiao, say something! Why are you so quiet?”

Ling Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then he took a deep breath and looked at Xie Zhizhi, “Zhizhi, how can you not acknowledge me?”

Xie Zhizhi said innocently, “Do I know you? I don’t remember ever meeting you.”

At this moment, Xie Zhizhi’s face darkened, and she reached for Jiang Ming’s heart.

Jiang Ming noticed Xie Zhizhi’s actions and grabbed Xie Zhizhi’s hand.

Xie Zhizhi raised her hand, wanting to break away from Jiang Ming’s grip, but she was held back by Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming suddenly felt something crawling on his body. When he looked again, a lizard was hovering above him.

The lizard stuck out its tongue and covered Jiang Ming’s nose and mouth.

Jiang Ming guessed that the lizard was sent by Xie Zhizhi, so he tore off the lizard’s tongue.

The lizard’s tongue was very sticky. When Jiang Ming tore off its tongue, the tongue stuck to Jiang Ming’s hand.

Jiang Ming felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand, but he did not have time to look into it.

The more serious matter now was Xie Zhizhi.

At this moment, Xie Zhizhi only noticed that the lizard’s tongue had been torn off by Jiang Ming. She did not show any anger at all. Instead, she closed her eyes and did not attack Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was stunned and then confused.

Sikong Wuyuan noticed the situation on Jiang Ming’s side and could not help but exclaim, “Ning Caichen, what did Xie Zhizhi want to do to you?”

However, Xie Zhizhi did not open her eyes when he heard Sikong Wuyuan’s words.

However, these words attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone’s eyes were on Jiang Ming. They were looking at him with concern.

Jiang Ming did not do anything. Before Xie Zhizhi could attack, he raised his hand and pulled the tongue away again.

However, the suction of the tongue was too strong. In everyone’s eyes, Jiang Ming was about to tear off his skin.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

Ling Yunxiao did not pay too much attention to Jiang Ming. All his energy was focused on Xie Zhizhi.

He took a step forward and placed his hand on Xie Zhizhi’s body, shaking it continuously.

However, Xie Zhizhi did not move at all. She did not even move her eyelids.

Seeing Xie Zhizhi like this, Ling Yunxiao became afraid and kept calling out to Xie Zhizhi.

Ling Yunxiao made a huge commotion and attracted everyone’s attention.

“Ling Yunxiao, what are you doing? Xie Zhizhi doesn’t look like your wife anymore.”

Liang Sisi called out to Ling Yunxiao, trying to keep him alert.

However, Ling Yunxiao seemed to be in a trance.

Jiang Ming felt that Ling Yunxiao was already entranced, so he went forward to wake him up.

However, at this moment, Xie Zhizhi started singing by herself.

The song was long and had a hint of gloominess to it.

Jiang Ming felt a sharp pain in his head just from the sound alone. Then, he saw his companions fall to the ground one by one, unconscious.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming used all the spiritual energy in his body and pressed on his acupoints with one hand, trying to keep himself awake.

His eyes met Xie Zhizhi’s. Xie Zhizhi smiled sinisterly and said a few words to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming did not hear her voice, but he knew what Xie Zhizhi said.

“Go to hell!”

This was what Xie Zhi told him.

Jiang Ming could not understand.

Even if Ling Yunxiao was in danger, he would go to find Xie Zhizhi, but Xie Zhizhi still treated her husband so cruelly.

After thinking for a while, he felt much better and shook his head.

Jiang Ming came back to his senses and saw the scene in front of him clearly.

Xie Zhizhi, the one who started it, closed her eyes and fainted.

Seeing the unconscious people on the ground, Jiang Ming felt a headache. He had to wake up the culprit.

Jiang Ming tried to wake Xie Zhizhi up. He nudged Xie Zhizhi, but Xie Zhizhi did not respond.

Looking around, Jiang Ming noticed a teacup on the table. He immediately stepped forward, picked up the wine pot, poured a cup of tea, and poured the tea on Xie Zhizhi.

This time, Xie Zhizhi woke up.
