As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 1004

1004 Chapter 1004

“A bowl of porridge.”

Before Jiang Ming could speak, the old madam spoke on his behalf.

Porridge?

Hearing her, the others could not help but be stunned.

Jiang Ming seriously suspected that he had misheard.

The old madam had insisted on compensation. Despite that, all she asked for was a bowl of porridge?

What an odd request!

Unexpectedly, when Master Ning heard this, his expression changed and became completely distorted.

“The things that the Shang family head wants are really precious, but the Ning family does not have them now, I’m really sorry.”

Yuan Hehe could not help but laugh.

“Why doesn’t the Ning family even have a bowl of porridge? You can just go and get it.”

Jiang Ming did not say anything.

Judging from the att.i.tude of Master Ning, this was not an ordinary bowl of porridge.

The old madam snorted coldly.

“Are you lying? Do you need help to find it? Do remember that the Shang family will not be kind to those who deceive them.”

The latter part of her words was obviously threatening. Master Ning’s expression changed again. Then, he smiled. “Madam Shang, you really know how to threaten people. However, there’s only one bowl left. This should be enough, right?”

“Let’s not talk about the amount. Let’s take a look first.”

Jiang Ming was very curious about what the porridge was, so he could not help but speak up.

“Of course. This must be genuine white porridge.”

Master Ning clapped his hands, the smile on his lips widening.

Sikong Wuyuan did not say anything.

He vaguely remembered that he had heard of such a porridge before, but he just could not remember.

A few servants immediately gathered together. Their hands were holding a tray that was covered with a red cloth.

The silhouette of a bowl could be seen.

Jiang Ming vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Was this really plain porridge?

Was the porridge of the Ning family so precious? Could it be that drinking it could nourish spiritual energy?

Just as he was thinking about it, Master Ning removed the red cloth.

As Jiang Ming had guessed, there was indeed a bowl of porridge under it.

The rice grains on it were very small. It looked like it came from a soup kitchen

Jiang Ming felt a headache coming on.

They were probably joking. How could such a thing become a bargaining chip?

Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe stared at it, but they could not find anything special about the porridge.

Master Ning saw this and laughed out loud.

“This porridge is just plain porridge. You don’t have to look at it anymore.”

The old madam nodded. “This porridge is not bad. However, just one bowl is too little. Master Ning, you should get more.”

“Madam Shang, you’re as cunning as ever. In that case, how about adding the jade seal? Although this jade seal is not comparable to the Shang family’s jade seal, it is still the Ning family’s treasure.”

Master Ning felt his heart ache, and the smile on his face had already somewhat collapsed.

Ning Keke could not understand what was going on. She frowned and said, “Father, this jade seal is one of the better items in the Ning family. Is it really okay to give it away like this?”

As she spoke, she glanced at the old madam.

She knew the Shang family’s strength, but wasn’t this too much?

“Then do you mean that you’re not willing to give it to the Shang family?”

The old madam snorted coldly again, but she was not too unhappy as she slowly drank her tea.

“How can that be? Don’t be silly.”

Master Ning secretly patted his daughter’s hand, signaling her not to speak.

Ning Keke felt upset, but she could not say anything directly. She could only swallow her anger and feel indignant in her heart.

This old madam from the Shang family was such a bully. When she took over the Ning family, she would definitely make the Ning family stronger and not let them suffer such grievances.

Jiang Ming still could not understand their conversation.

What was the use of this porridge? There was nothing special about it.

Sikong Wuyuan could not help but say, “As long as this porridge is sprinkled on your body, you will be able to obtain a new skill. Rumor has it that someone who drank this porridge obtained the invisibility technique.”

At the end of his sentence, the old madam’s eyes lit up as she rejoiced in her heart.

If not for the fact that the Ning family could not use it, it would have been squandered by them long ago.

However, the Ning family was really stingy. They could not use it and were unwilling to give it to other families.

“I didn’t expect there to be such an amazing thing in this world.”

Sikong Wuyuan also praised it.

Yuan Hehe felt that it was a little strange.

“It’s just a bowl of porridge. How can it have so many uses?”

“Some things can’t be seen with the naked eye.” The old madam smiled.

She was kind to these people because they might become her friends in the future.

“Grandma, there are some things in the family that need you to deal with.”

At this moment, Shang Lele’s expression suddenly became critical. She looked at the old madam carefully.

Even though the Shang family had a bright appearance and was feared by the other clans, they were not united internally.

The other family members were eager to fight for the Shang family’s riches.

Moreover, Madam Shang was already old, so the people around her had even more intense thoughts.

Thinking of this, her eyes could not help but dim.

Those relatives did not care about her grandma’s health at all.

Old Madam Shang knew what was going on. She quickly followed the others and said, “Jiu Zhu, you guys can stay here for a while. Or go somewhere nearby. I’ll go and settle some matters first. My granddaughter, Shang Lele, will lead you.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Jiang Ming nodded politely.

Shang Lele narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, “This porridge is fake. How can Master Ning use such an ordinary thing to fool people?”

“What’s wrong?” Not expecting Shang Lele to be able to see through his tricks, Master Ning coughed and said, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? How could this be fake? How could we even think of fooling the Shang family?”

Shang Lele did not reply and pushed the porridge to the ground.

The bowl shattered and the porridge disappeared.

The old madam was furious and stepped on the remaining pieces of the bowl.

She looked at Master Ning. “Master Ning, this att.i.tude is not good. Although there are some small conflicts in the Shang family, I’m not dead yet.”

Ning Keke could not bear to watch her father being forced into this state.

She stood in front of her father and said, “If you have any problems, come and find me. Don’t make things difficult for my father. We will solve the problem of the porridge.”
