Chapter 6 Bing Tong

The people in the room were speechless as Hong Ling knelt down to give Jiang Ming a leg massage.

"Is this to your liking sir?" Hong Ling started massaging his leg and said while gritting her teeth in anger.

Jiang Ming curved his lips upward in amusement and said, "It's passable for your first time. However, you can improve your skill when you continue to massage my body."

Hong Ling rolled her eyes in displeasure but besides that, she continued to use her utmost effort in massaging Jiang Ming.

He was her master now and disobeying him would have unimaginable consequences.

Smiling at this smart maid to understand the circumstances, Jiang Ming stopped paying attention to her.

"Aren't you pretty arrogant?"

While Jiang Ming was enjoying himself, a female voice echoed in the room, and the people standing looked at her in surprise.

Everyone in here knew about her identity and she has been sitting there the whole time without speaking much beside her uncle.

The female was called Bing Tong, daughter of the current emperor in the Northern Continent. She had silky silver hair and heavenly appearance that resembled an otherworldly being. Her majestic aura helped transcend her to be different from ordinary female.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrow a little and stared at her. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that her breast size was similar to Hong Ling.

Rubbing his chin slightly, Jiang Ming began laughing aloud.

"Arrogant or not, it depends on the person's capability. Let's say if I somehow failed to connect this pill for Little Ren, what do you think would happen to me?" Jiang Ming smiled toward Bing Tong.

Bing Tong pondered for a while before looking back at Jiang Ming. "You would be crippled or most likely killed."

Jiang Ming nodded his head in acknowledgment. In this dog eat dog world, those with power or capability can rule over people.

While those without power can only cower in fear and pray each day to live peacefully.

"You are indeed a smart lad so it was kind of dumb of you to ask if I'm too arrogant." Jiang Ming teased Bing Tong.

"The audacity," As soon as Jiang Ming finished his word, her uncle, Lang Tong shouted in anger.

Lang Tong unsheathe his weapon and was about to thrash Jiang Ming for his audacity before being stopped.

"It's okay Uncle Lang." Bing Tong waved her hand to stop him from going overboard.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was amused inwardly. 'Such an impulsive and aggressive old man. With that kind of protection and wariness, you're basically screaming that this young woman is prestigious.'

"I apologize for the outburst of my uncle, Jiang Ming." Bing Tong said with a sincere tone toward Jiang Ming.

"It's fine. An old man going senile is absolutely normal." Jiang Ming didn't care about his words at all.

Lang Tong was enraged with his veins popping out of his arm and wished to just hack Jiang Ming into pieces.

Jiang Ming stuck his tongue out to provoke him even more.

Bing Tong was dumbfounded by the provocation he made and wondered if he had some mental problem.

*Swoosh*

Lang Tong didn't care anymore and closed the distance between him and Jiang Ming.

Hong Ling who was still massaging Jiang Ming's leg became frightened by the murderous aura emitted from Lang Tong.

Jiang Ming was calm even when Lang Tong was about to strike as he said, "If you kill me then the disease that your little miss has will never be cured."

Lang Tong stopped his strike mid-air and became dumbstruck by his words. The others also raised their eyebrows in confusion by his meaning.

However, they couldn't get a chance to learn more when Lang Tong shouted toward them, "LEAVE THE ROOM NOW."

Although frustrated by this outcome since they wanted to curry favor from Alchemist Ren, they didn't dare to linger further.

Jiang Ming may not know about their identity, but these people knew them well and were grateful to be able to be in the same room as them already.

The room is empty now beside Bing Tong, Jiang Ming, and his little maid. Lang Tong also wanted to dismiss Hong Ling as well but Jiang Ming looked at him with a narrowed eye.

"Continue massaging me, Hong Ling. You can rest assured that besides me, you don't have to fear anyone else." Jiang Ming patted the pale Hong Ling in the head before whispering something in her ear.

"If you please me well then I will allow you to become a cultivator. At that time, you won't have to use your beauty to stay alive and have freedom." Jiang Ming's words were extremely attractive to Hong Ling who looked at him in disbelief.

Knowing his conduct and character in this short amount of time, Hong Ling doesn't know why but she felt like she could trust his words.

Lang Tong may be a bit displeased to be unable to hack Jiang Ming into pieces, he calmed down because he cared more about the well-being of his Little Bing.

"Brat, if your next word does not satisfy me then don't expect to walk out alive in this room. I may not know who you are but I can easily get someone to conduct an investigation about your background." Lang Tong said as he lowered his killing intent.

"Your little miss must have been poisoned and you'll have no idea of the source. Also, because of this unknown poison, her cultivation starts to deteriorate with her health going downward slowly each day."

Jiang Ming calmly said as he stared at Bing Tong who had her mouth opened in shock.

"H-How did you know I was poisoned?" Even the doctors couldn't detect any abnormality in my body and were helpless at my condition." Bing Tong said as her body started shaking.

Jiang Ming can tell she was expecting him to be able to cure her since he managed to detect her condition with a mere look.

Even Lang Tong was looking at Jiang Ming in hopes that he could cure her Little Bing.

"Bra- Young man, if you can cure my Little Bing then I would apologize for my offense and I will pay you generously." Lang Tong said politely.

Jiang Ming clasped his hand together and stopped talking for a while, seemingly in deep thought.

'Another one in the bag. This is just fantastic.' Jiang Ming smiled inwardly when he managed to get another influential person on his side.
