Chapter 916 Revenge

916 Revenge
Feeling a strong energy, Jiang Ming rushed over.
He knew that Li Nanchu was confident that the hot spring could give him strength, but he felt that the strength of the hot spring was nothing special.
At that moment, Jiang Ming used the power of the hot spring. He also absorbed a lot more power than Li Nanchu.
The two forces collided. In less than an instant, Li Nanchu was sent flying by Jiang Ming’s power.
“You… You absorbed the energy of the entire hot spring. You even absorbed so much!”
Li Nanchu stuttered. He was momentarily stunned, but his hands could not stop trembling.
He was already weaker than Ning Caichen, and now that Ning Caichen had absorbed more energy from the hot spring than he did, he was even less of a match for him.
He had already fallen out with Ning Caichen. If this continued, he would die.
After thinking for a moment, Li Nanchu quickly went forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Ming. He begged for mercy. “Lord Ning Caichen, I was wrong. Please let me go.”
“This doesn’t seem to be the first time you’ve begged for mercy.”
Jiang Ming saw Li Nanchu’s face clearly, and his voice was indifferent.
Li Nanchu started to panic. Then, he said, “Lord Ning Caichen, you can have whatever you want. Let’s just let this matter pass.”
Sikong Wuyuan was speechless. “If Ning Caichen didn’t beat you, we would be the ones begging for mercy, right?” he asked.
“How can this be? I just wanted to playfight with Lord Ning Caichen. Who knew that Lord Ning Caichen would take it seriously? Still, it’s indeed my fault.”
“So, you mean it’s all my fault?”
Jiang Ming grinned and then chased him away. “You can go back first. I want to soak in the hot spring.”
He could feel that the flow inside had not been completely absorbed.
He was now very afraid that the spiritual energy of those hot springs would all be lost. He felt that some of it had already evaporated.
Sikong Wuyuan, Yuan Hehe, and the child could not understand why Jiang Ming would let Li Nanchu go just like that, but they respected Jiang Ming’s decision.
Li Nanchu thought that Jiang Ming had already forgiven him, so he was delighted. He felt that Jiang Ming was a fool and left quickly.
He wanted to study the effects of this hot spring.
Since Ning Caichen could absorb most of the spiritual energy in the hot spring at once, he could do the same.
He felt that the spiritual energy of this hot spring should not have been completely absorbed. In this case, he would receive the final bit of spiritual energy.
However, he did not know that when he left, Jiang Ming had already jumped into the hot spring and continued to absorb the remaining spiritual energy.
Seeing Jiang Ming’s actions, Sikong Wuyuan, Yuan Hehe, and the child seemed to have understood something. Then, they stepped to the side, not wanting to disturb Jiang Ming.
As Jiang Ming gradually absorbed the spiritual energy, the color of the hot spring gradually turned red. Then, it completely lost its color and became an ordinary hot spring.
After absorbing everything, Jiang Ming felt full of energy. Then, he looked at the beast in the distance and attacked it.
At that moment, the mountain shattered into pieces. With a rumble, the nearby servant girls and servants were alarmed.
They came in to check on the situation, but they were stopped by Yuan Hehe and the other two.
“Congratulations, Lord Ning Caichen, for obtaining the true teachings of the hot spring.”
The child understood and knelt in front of Jiang Ming with a smile on his face. Jiang Ming was his master now.
Jiang Ming’s strength was also beneficial to him. Beasts could obtain some benefits according to their master’s strength.
“Kid, you understand.”
Sikong Wuyuan was confused at first, but he also went forward to congratulate Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming twisted his wrist. “I don’t feel anything special. But my mana has improved a lot.”
“How is that possible?” Sikong Wuyuan was stunned. “The spiritual energy in this hot spring is very dense.”
“This hot spring can help many people increase their spiritual energy. This is too strange.” The child also thought about it.
He sized up Jiang Ming’s body and could not help but make a bold guess.
“Ning Caichen, could it be that your strength has already surpassed the spiritual energy of the hot spring?”
The child was shocked and bowed down to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was shocked by his actions. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Kid, what are you doing?”
Yuan Hehe had forgotten that he was also a child and started to laugh at this beast-like child.
“No wonder he’s a child. He’s behaving like a child. We’ve all seen Ning Caichen’s power. We already knew he was powerful.”
Yuan Hehe was extremely arrogant when he said this. His eyes were filled with excitement.
“Aren’t you a child too?”
The child pinched his nose, feeling embarrassed.
Then, he became curious again.
The reason was that Yuan Hehe looked as old as him.
Only then did Yuan Hehe remember that he was also a child, and he looked the same age as the beast child in front of him.
“That’s not the main problem,” he coughed awkwardly.
“Now, we just have to wait for the start of the Moonlight Banquet.” Jiang Ming changed the topic.
At this moment, Li Nanchu, who had just returned to his main palace in a hurry, sat down and calmed his racing heart.
However, before he could find a way to absorb the spiritual energy, a servant rushed in to make a report, and he immediately knew about the sound.
Li Nanchu could not understand why there was a sound near the hot spring.
Was it that hot spring?
He panicked and ran over to check the hot spring.
Although he had just calmed down and might have been troubled by Jiang Ming in the past, he could not care less now.
When they reached the hot spring, Jiang Ming and the others had already left.
Li Nanchu heaved a sigh of relief and moved closer to the hot spring.
Seeing that the color of the hot spring had turned ashen, Li Nanchu went back shakily. His face was the same color as the hot spring.
“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
As soon as he returned to his bedroom, he collapsed. The maids and servants nearby hurriedly came forward to support him and called out to Li Nanchu.
Li Nanchu was on the verge of madness. He could not accept the current state of the hot spring that he had painstakingly dug up. He suffered a huge blow and immediately fell ill in bed.
Jiang Ming and the others were not surprised at all when they heard that Li Nanchu had fallen ill.
If they were Li Nanchu, they would probably be lying in bed by now. After all, the hot spring had no spiritual energy at all.
But who was to blame? If Li Nanchu had not tried to attack them, they might have considered leaving some spiritual energy for him.
“Do you want to go and see Li Nanchu? He seems to have fallen sick because of us,” Yuan Hehe said sarcastically.
Right now, he wanted to see Li Nanchu make a fool of herself by being so arrogant.
“No need. His people will find us.”
