Jiang Ming was quite satisfied with the facilities at the lake banquet.
King Fengyu, however, took it to heart and said slowly, "If you like them, I'm willing to give them to you."
These words shocked Jiang Ming and the other two.
Jiang Ming almost couldn't believe it. He stuttered, "King Fengyu, are you serious?"
He instantly felt that King Fengyu was a bit insane. He was actually offering his concubines to other people.
"Of course, I'm serious. Lord Ning Caichen, you're in charge here."
Jiang Ming could not help but shiver.
King Fengyu had said it so well that he felt uncomfortable.
Surely, there was something wrong.
King Fengyu had sought him out for a reason.
He just did not know what it was.
Just as Jiang Ming was thinking, a concubine had already come up to him. She said with a smile, "Lord Ning Caichen, come with me. I want to have a good chat with you."
Jiang Ming took three steps back and mercilessly removed the concubine's hand from his clothes. He said coldly, "I refuse. Stay away from me."
Sikong Wuyuan and Liang Sisi were dumbfounded by his smooth movements.
"I can't believe you can resist temptation so easily!"
Sikong Wuyuan praised him sincerely.
Even Liang Sisi said, "Even I can't resist temptation so easily."
The only one who was unhappy to see this scene was King Fengyu.
He looked listless.
Ning Caichen did not fall for the concubines' seduction. What should he do?
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes.
He had seen many women. In his opinion, the concubines of King Fengyu were below average.
Another thing was that these were the concubines of King Fengyu, and he did not want to get involved with them.
Seeing the expression on King Fengyu's face, Sikong Wuyuan became vigilant and said, "Why does the king seem to be in a bad mood? Did something bad happen?"
Sikong Wuyuan's reminder instantly attracted Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming's attention.
"What? Does he like being cuckolded?" Liang Sisi asked sarcastically. "This is the first time I've seen something like this."
Hearing this, King Fengyu's face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to say something, a short person in mismatched clothing walked in front of everyone and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the witch is looking for you."
The witch had been replaced. Zuo Tang Yixi was the new witch.
King Fengyu valued this witch very much and treated her very well as soon as she took office.
Zuo Tang Yixi did not disappoint. She successfully made the other people of the Fengyu Kingdom hate her.
However, Zuo Tang Yixi was by the king's side, so everyone could only curse her behind her back and not in public.
Seeing that Zuo Tang Yixi was looking for him, King Fengyu perked up. He quickly put down what he was doing and said to Jiang Ming and the others, "Lord Ning Caichen, I'll go first. I have something important to do."
He felt that this time, Zuo Tang Yixi could bring him a miracle. He might have a different harvest!
King Fengyu had already figured it out. Before Jiang Ming and the other two could reply, he walked away.
This matter was very important, and it could not be delayed any longer. It was even more important than Ning Caichen and the others.
Zuo Tang Yixi's eyes were sharp and scrutinizing. She was standing still, not moving at all.
Seeing Zuo Tang Yixi's state, King Fengyu could not help but feel a little afraid.
This was the first time he saw Zuo Tang Yixi like this.
He knew about Zuo Tang Yixi's abilities. She was very powerful and could know all kinds of things.
Moreover, every time something happened, the seriousness of the matter could be seen by her expression and actions. Now, it seemed that this matter was very serious.
It seemed that with their current abilities, they should not be able to solve their issue.
King Fengyu was very conflicted. He was afraid of asking her too many questions.
Zuo Tang Yixi answered directly. She looked at King Fengyu with a deep gaze and said, "Do you know a person called Ning Caichen? He's still young. He doesn't look very old, but his abilities are outstanding. He also has some inexplicable abilities that no one knows about."
Hearing that what Zuo Tang Yixi said matched up, King Fengyu could not help but be surprised. Then, he nodded repeatedly and said, "There is indeed such a person. He seems to have some method to extend one's lifespan. I want to obtain this method, but I don't know how."
He felt that he could trust Zuo Tang Yixi.
Zuo Tang Yixi had been with him for decades and had become his most trusted confidante.
Now, he had no choice but to let Zuo Tang Yixi be the kingdom's witch.
Originally, he wanted to make Zuo Tang Yixi happy for the rest of her life, but the traitors around him kept coming one after another. He lost trust in everyone and felt that he could only use Zuo Tang Yixi.
Upon hearing King Fengyu's words, Zuo Tang Yixi smiled faintly. "Jiang Ming is a special person. If you dig out his heart, you can prolong your life and solve your problem."
"Really? Zuo Tang Yixi, you know that I don't want to kill anyone innocent. If it's really possible, I'm willing to take the risk."
King Fengyu was about to burst into laughter. He had never thought that Ning Caichen would bring him such good fortune.
He excitedly said to Zuo Tang Yixi, "If I really have a long lifespan, then I want to go sightseeing with you. We'll taste all the delicacies in this world together."
Zuo Tang Yixi could not help but daydream about this and told King Fengyu, "I don't think there's a problem. His heart can be eaten by two people. At that time, I can extend my lifespan and be with you forever."
King Fengyu could not help but become even more excited.
"I really did not expect such a good thing to come my way. Still, you know that Ning Caichen is very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid that we won't get the heart to go through with our plans and will lose everything."
"How is that possible? I've already calculated that Ning Caichen is nothing. Don't worry, just go ahead. If there's anything, I'll cover for you. How can Ning Caichen be better than me?"
Zuo Tang Yixi laughed sinisterly.
"You're right!"
