As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

The afterglow of the evening shone on his body, making him feel a little warm.

Zhou Wenxiu and Jiang Ming walked side by side.

She suddenly said, "Miss Qingqing has changed so much."

"You'll always change after experiencing life."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he also remembered the winter of that year when he first met Li Qingqing. She was still a warm and cheerful carpenter's daughter. They had not seen each other for four or five years. She had already become a quiet and reserved woman.

Three years ago, the Shi family was destroyed. A few months later, Li Qingqing came back with her daughter, who was still a baby, and moved into the courtyard next door.

However, the skilled and helpful Elder Li did not return, and Li Qingqing's husband did not return either. Only the mother and daughter were left.

It was difficult to leave one's hometown, but things remained the same and people had changed.

"A hundred years from now, how many of my good friends will be left?"

Jiang Ming's small courtyard was a little far from the main street. They took a few shortcuts and took a few dark paths. Tian Anan was so scared that she almost pulled Jiang Ming's hair out. Then, she saw the lights of the night market in the distance.

At this time, the market had just opened, and the hot smoke was everywhere. All kinds of fragrances were in the air, making people hungry.

Jiang Ming found the rice noodle stall, put down the little girl on his shoulders, and sat her on the bench. Then, he greeted the owner and said, "Two big bowls of noodles! Please add on your special toppings!"

Zhou Wenxiu rolled her eyes at him.

Jiang Ming laughed. A moment later, when the rice noodles were served, he filled Tian Anan's small bowl and the two began to compete to see who could eat faster.

Finally, before they left, Tian Anan filled another wooden bowl and carefully covered it with her hand, preparing to give it to her mother to try.

"The bowl is full of your stinky saliva, it's not clean," Jiang Ming glanced at her and said.

"Ming, you're so stupid. How can a washed bowl not be clean?" Tian Anan looked at him in surprise.

"Where did you wash it?"

Tian Anan puffed out her chest and argued, "I used my tongue to lick it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiuxiu!"

Jiang Ming and Zhou Wenxiu were rendered speechless.

The night market gradually became livelier. The three of them strolled around for a while and ate some snacks. They slowly walked back home.

On the way back, they still took the shortcut. It was late at night, and no one was seen on the road. Jiang Ming suddenly saw a black dog with a bald tail running along the side of the road.

The black dog had a huge body, and its strong muscles could be vaguely seen under its fur.

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, and he handed Tian Anan to Zhou Wenxiu for her to hold.

Jiang Ming stared at the black dog in shock, "A dog that knows martial arts?"

For the past three years, he had been drinking the Spirit-Clearing Soup non-stop. Now, his heightened perception could be maintained for a good amount of time every day. Even if he did not use it, he had a keen sense of the surrounding Qi movement and could even vaguely sense the realm of a martial artist.

This was also the reason why Jiang Ming did not panic at all when he saw the man in the bamboo hat who was buying the herbs in the medicine shop. Because the other party was only around the third class, Jiang Ming was not afraid at all.

The black dog in front of him was also exuding exuberant blood Qi. In Jiang Ming's eyes, it was as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark night.

"That should be around the level of a third-class martial artist, right? Can even dogs practice martial arts these days?"

While Jiang Ming was staring at the black dog, the black dog was also staring at Jiang Ming, as if it had sensed the dangerous aura on this human.

"Woof!" the black dog barked, and then, he turned around and fled.

"You can't escape!" There was no one else nearby. Jiang Ming rushed forward and punched the black dog's head with an expressionless face.

With a muffled sound, the black dog flew backward while screaming and fell to the edge of the ridge. It shook its head and actually got up again.

"What?" Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with surprise. Although he had held back in his punch, it was definitely not a problem to hammer a third-class martial artist to death. However, this black dog's skin was not even broken!

"This dog is quite something." Jiang Ming suddenly couldn't bear to let the dog die, so he looked at the black dog with kind eyes.

When the black dog saw Jiang Ming's "kind" eyes, its fur stood on end. It was so scared that it turned around and ran away.

However, it had only run two steps when Jiang Ming grabbed its neck and lifted it up.

The black dog still wanted to struggle.

Jiang Ming knocked it out with one punch and dragged it all the way home. Soon, they arrived at the door of the house.

Tian Anan stood at the door of her house. She stared at the black dog with reluctance and gathered her courage to say, "Ming, do you want to eat this dog?"

"Do you want some too?" Jiang Ming looked at her.

"No! The dog is so cute. I won't eat it!" Tian Anan turned pale with fright, shook her head, and ran inside.

The next moment, a small head popped out again. "Ming, you can't secretly eat it, okay?"

"Can you stop teaching her silly things?" Li Qingqing stood up with her hands on her hips and glared at Jiang Ming. Then, she carried Tian Anan home like a little chick.

Jiang Ming's face was dark.

"What the hell does this have to do with me?"

He shook his head and dragged the black dog all the way back to his house, then he laid it on the ground.

The black dog slowly woke up. Its lively eyes looked around, looking for a chance to escape.

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "You're a dog that has drunk the beast-taming medicine, right?"

First, there was a guy who bought the ingredients for the beast-taming prescription, and then a dog who knew martial arts appeared. It could not be such a coincidence, right?

The black dog's body stiffened slightly, and then its face was blank, as if it did not know what Jiang Ming was talking about.

"The beast-taming medicine can awaken the intelligence of beasts. You're so stupid. It's obvious that you've never drunk it before!" Jiang Ming shook his head and looked at the black dog. "Am I right?"

The black dog's eyes were filled with joy as it nodded its head.

Jiang Ming was speechless.

Jiang Ming thought for a moment. This was a smart dog that was also a little stupid. He could not bear to kill it, but he could not let it go either.

Zhou Wenxiu, that stupid girl, probably could not keep an eye on this dog.

Jiang Ming's fist hit the black dog again, and while it was still dizzy, a black pill was stuffed into its mouth.

"This is the Marrow-Devouring Pill. Without the antidote, your bone marrow will corrode, and you will die within three days! You're the first one to enjoy it. Remember to tell me if you have any clinical reactions."

The black dog stared at him.
