998 Chapter 998
“Master Ning, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Where are you?”
The spiritual device rang, and the old madam’s words rang out.
Master Ning panicked. He raised his hand to wave at Jiang Ming and the other two. “This matter can be discussed easily. We will continue talking later. You guys think about it first.”
Jiang Ming nodded.
When Master Ning and Ning Sansheng left, he noticed the cross on each other’s waist and immediately secretly pulled it over.
The two of them did not notice it. After they left, Jiang Ming took out the cross and fumbled around to look at it.
There was a circular object in the middle, and it seemed to be imprisoning a beast.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe came over with curiosity in their eyes.
“What is this?”
Jiang Ming pinched the cross and found that the decoration inside was very soft. He could not help but feel strange.
“Quick! Throw it away!”
When she saw this thing clearly, the woman panicked. She went forward and wanted to hit Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded and took a few steps back.
“What’s wrong?”
“This is something that keeps the ancient divine beast imprisoned. If it’s not used properly, the divine beast will come out.”
The woman was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She had thought that she would be safe in the painting, but why was there a hidden bomb?
Jiang Ming nodded and put the cross in his pocket.
“This should be good, right?”
The woman still wanted to take the cross.
“Such a dangerous thing should be destroyed. It can’t be left in this world. I’ll take it away myself.”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to take the cross away.
Her att.i.tude was suspicious, and Jiang Ming was a little apprehensive. He secretly switched it to a fake cross and gave it to her.
The woman thought it was real and immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed it away.
“Hey! Is this really okay?”
Sikong Wuyuan felt that the woman’s reaction was a little suspicious, so he stepped forward to stop her.
The woman suddenly sped up and dodged him accurately.
Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
His subconscious told him that this woman was not holding the cross to protect him.
With the cross, the woman began to hold her head high.
“At last, I don’t need to rely on anyone to bring me out. I can go out by myself.”
Jiang Ming felt a little strange.
This woman’s expression changed too quickly. She was simply ruthless.
“Why did you suddenly change?”
Yuan Hehe could not believe it. He watched as the woman’s clothes gradually became more luxurious and her skin became more delicate.
Her appearance had also become more beautiful, which surprised everyone.
Sikong Wuyuan quickly asked, “Could you be the demon in the painting?
“No, I’m a demon that the Ning family uses to create paintings. I’ve been beaten and abused for many years. Now, I finally have the ability to fight back.”
The woman was so emotional that she cried. She felt terrible.
She had been trapped for so long, and she still had to beg Jiu Zhu and the others for help. Now, she could finally stand on her own two feet.
“Are you trying to deal with us?”
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and looked at the woman.
“How is that possible?” The woman pretended to be friendly. “We’re allies.”
As she spoke, she approached Jiang Ming and stabbed him in the abdomen.
Feeling the pain, Jiang Ming found it ridiculous. He clenched his fingers, pulled out the knife, and quickly stabbed it into the other party’s body.
The woman’s eyes widened. She did not expect this and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
She laughed hysterically.
“I didn’t expect that I would end up like this. Can you still save my son?”
“What do you think? Don’t you know why we saved your son?”
Jiang Ming found it funny and stared at the woman’s expression of pain.
“After all this, I’m the one who gave up my son’s chance to survive.”
The woman was in pain, but she could no longer beg for mercy.
She closed her eyes.
“This demon is pitiful. That’s why she’s so hateful.”
Sikong Wuyuan looked at the corpse and could not help but sigh.
If this woman was a little smarter, she would not have become like this.
“She’s not dead. She’s still in the painting.”
Seeing that the woman’s body was showing signs of disappearing, Jiang Ming roughly understood something.
He had not done anything that could make the woman’s soul dissipate. The only explanation was what he had said.
“Does she not want the child anymore? It shouldn’t be, right?”
Sikong Wuyuan shook his head.
Judging from how this woman was thinking about her son even when she was about to die, it was difficult to believe she had given up on him and left.
However, Jiang Ming laughed. “She’ll be back after a while.”
“What about us?”
Yuan Hehe looked at the new livor mortis spots on his arm, and his heart trembled.
Was he going to die soon? He did not know how to get out.
“Let me see if I can treat your livor mortis.”
Jiang Ming felt that they could not sit still and wait for death, so he turned around and walked to Yuan Hehe’s side.
Yuan Hehe could not wait to show the new livor mortis to Jiang Ming. However, he was still a little afraid. “Will the livor mortis worsen if I don’t treat it well?”
Jiang Ming did not reply. Instead, he carefully examined Yuan Hehe.
He thought for a moment and immediately took out a silver needle from his hand and inserted it into the spots.
With this stab, the livor mortis spots became even bigger.
Jiang Ming was deep in thought.
Perhaps the livor mortis spots would become bigger the more stimulated Yuan Hehe was, but if it was the opposite, they would become smaller. How could he make them smaller?
Just as Jiang Ming was thinking about it, he pulled out the silver needle and found that the livor mortis spots had become smaller.
Yuan Hehe was pleasantly surprised.
“It seems that silver needles are the best solution.”
Jiang Ming could not help but be pleasantly surprised. He inserted the silver needle again and pulled it out again.
After a while, the livor mortis completely disappeared.
Yuan He was so happy that he cried.
Jiang Ming was his savior!
“Your Majesty, how are we going to get out of here?”
The issue of the livor mortis was almost resolved. Now, it was time to get out.
The demon was not a good person. What she said might not be right. He did not want to be scammed.
“That demon will tell us,” Jiang Ming said. He was deep in thought.
“What do you mean?”
Sikong Wuyuan seemed to have understood something and was stunned.
“Then let’s go find that woman’s son now.”
Jiang Ming nodded and brought him and Yuan Hehe over.
When they arrived at the location, they realized that the child had already disappeared.
Jiang Ming frowned.
“We were a step too late. I didn’t expect that woman to be so fast.”
Sikong Wuyuan was instantly deflated.
