“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Sikong Wuyuan’s face was filled with fear.

“I saw a strange phenomenon in the sky and even had a nightmare. There should be danger approaching.”

“I felt it too. I was feeling uneasy, so I sat here.”

Yuan Hehe picked up his teacup, his eyes filled with nervousness.

Sikong Wuyuan looked at Jiang Ming and suddenly stood up. He walked up to Jiang Ming and grabbed his robes. There was a bloodstain on it. “What happened?”

He looked up at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming told Sikong Wuyuan what he had just said, and Sikong Wuyuan was shocked.

“This is really a fortuitous encounter. Where is the Cursemancer?”

He looked around, but there was no sign of the Cursemancer.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Ming tapped his palm, and the Cursemancer’s corpse immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Yuan Hehe was shocked. His face turned green, and he stammered, “I know this person.”

“What is his name?”

Jiang Ming struck while the iron was hot.

“He’s Cheng Xiqing.”

Yuan Hehe gulped and vaguely remembered how ruthless Cheng Xiqing was.

Sikong Wuyuan immediately stood up and almost fell down.

“Hurry up and throw the corpse away. We can’t let this thing endanger us,” he muttered to himself.

The others were confused, but Jiang Ming sensed a hint of danger.

Before he could ask further, Cheng Xiqing suddenly came to life. His eyes were so bright and full of bloodlust.

“Is he undead?”

Jiang Ming groaned.

How many more times did he have to deal with zombies?

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiqing showed no signs of attacking. Instead, he went forward and knelt down. “Sir, please save me. I really don’t want to be controlled by this worm.”

As soon as he said this, Jiang Ming roughly understood everything.

However, Yuan Hehe found it strange.

“Aren’t you a Cursemancer? How could someone give you a worm? I remember that all Cursemancers have a unique skill in the beginning, which is that they won’t be corrupted by such worms.”

Seeing that he had been seen through, Cheng Xiqing wanted to leave, but he was pulled back by Jiang Ming.

Cheng Xiqing turned around to slap him.

Jiang Ming grabbed Cheng Xiqing’s hand and dragged him to the ground.

Cheng Xiqing screamed in pain, and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.

“I was wrong. Please let me go, Lord Ning Caichen.”

“I didn’t do anything bad to you. Why are you treating me like this?” Jiang Ming asked reluctantly. “Again, I seem to have saved you.”

Cheng Xiqing took a deep breath and said helplessly, “The bones in my body have to be absorbed by someone with strong abilities. Only you can absorb them now. I’m actually not a Cursemancer. The Cursemancer is actually my brother. I beg you, please save me. I will do anything to repay you.”

Sikong Wuyuan was dumbstruck at his words.

What kind of nonsense was he spouting?

“You want Ning Caichen to save you?” Yuan Hehe asked. “You really think too highly of yourself. I advise you to manage your expectations.”

Cheng Xiqing coughed and then kowtowed heavily. He continued to cough until he started spitting out blood.

“It was all my fault. I hope you won’t blame me. I was wrong.”

Jiang Ming did not have a saint’s heart. He waved his hand and said, “You can go. I originally wanted to ask about other people. Now it seems that there’s no need.”

Cheng Xiqing narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, “When I got close to you just now, I had already planted a worm on you. If you chase me away without helping me, you will be bitten to death by the worm.” Jiang Ming chuckled.

He was several steps ahead of Cheng Xiqing.

He had already secretly taken the worm away.

“Then you can go. I don’t need you. I can get rid of this worm,” Jiang Ming said indifferently.

Sikong Wuyuan also could not understand. He immediately tried to persuade Jiang Ming. “Ning Caichen, you have to think twice. Although he is not a

Cursemancer, the power within him can’t be underestimated. Why don’t we keep him here for a bit?”

“That’s right, Ning Caichen. You have no way out now. You can only submit to me,” Cheng Xiqing said arrogantly.

“What if I say no?”

Jiang Ming rolled his eyes and secretly brought the worm out.

It was a white worm with blood on it.

He secretly threw it beside Cheng Xi Qing, and the worm immediately burrowed into his body.

Cheng Xiqing paused for a moment. He felt that something was wrong with his body and immediately panicked.

He looked into Jiang Ming’s eyes and said in a panic, “Ning Caichen, did you infect me with the worm?”

“Take a wild guess.”

Jiang Ming did not intend to tell Cheng Xiqing anything directly.

He felt that Cheng Xiqing should be punished.

Cheng Xiqing’s heart tightened, and he quickly searched his body.

He took out a small bottle and shakily took out a pill from it.

At this time, the worm had already taken effect, and he could not stand any longer.

Sikong Wuyuan found it strange, but he did not want Cheng Xiqing to have an easy time. He stepped forward and took the bottle away.

“Give it to me! Give it to me quickly.”

Cheng Xiqing stepped forward and shouted, tears flowing out of his eyes.

Sikong Wuyuan threw the bottle to Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming caught the bottle and said slowly, “Cheng Xiqing, now you need to tell me. How do you know the king here?”

“The king dreams of living forever. I took my brother’s identity and tricked him into becoming his Cursemancer.”

Cheng Xiqing was on the verge of breaking down. His voice was trembling strangely.

“He wants to be immortal? How does he hope to achieve this?”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He guessed that Li Nanchu had asked him to stay because of this.

However, he did not know what had attracted Li Nanchu to think that he could become immortal through such underhanded means.

“He ate a lot of hearts and killed a lot of people. Can you give me the medicine quickly? I really can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die soon.”

Cheng Xiqing’s eyes were already brimming with tears, and he did not feel good.

He really shot himself in the foot. If it was possible, he would not have tried to hurt Ning Caichen.

Seeing Cheng Xiqing’s pleading look, Jiang Ming threw the bottle to him. “I already know what happened, so I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you! Thank you for saving my life!”

Cheng Xiqing trembled as he put the pill into his mouth again. He instantly felt much better…
