In order to prevent Nangong Rou from discovering the blood, Jiang Zhige grabbed a handful of snow and pressed it on the wound on his calf before going back.

A sharp pain came from the wound, making Jiang Zhige almost faint. He gritted his teeth and was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

After a long time, Jiang Zhige was panting and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

He rolled up his trouser legs tremblingly, stood up and limped into the cave.

"elder brother?"

Seeing Jiang Zhige return safely, Nangong Rou immediately cast a look of joy.

At this moment, she didn't care whether Jiang Zhige found food or not, as long as Jiang Zhige could come back alive.

Jiang Zhige adjusted his state, raised the meat in his hand, and said with a smile: "Rou'er, look, brother found something to eat."

"Meat? Brother, there's so much snow outside, where did you find the meat?"

Nangong Rou blinked her eyes. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten meat.

Jiang Zhige staggered to sit next to Nangong Rou and explained, "Just now my brother didn't walk far when he ran into an uncle who was out hunting. He felt sorry for me and gave me some of the meat from the prey."

Nangong Rou did not ask about the origin of the meat, and said happily: "That's great, brother, we have meat to eat!"

Jiang Zhige smiled and nodded, then grilled meat for Nangong Rou as if nothing had happened.

In order to prevent Nangong Rou from noticing, he deliberately placed the skin side under the fire.

Soon, the aroma of barbecue filled the cave.

Nangong Rou swallowed her saliva greedily and asked impatiently: "Brother, can I eat now?"

"Eat it."

Jiang Zhige carefully confirmed that there was no sign of the roasted meat before handing the wooden stick with the meat to Nangong Rou.

Nangong Rou took the barbecue but didn't rush to eat it. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Brother, what about you? Don't you want to eat it?"

Jiang Zhige looked ashamed, shook his head and said, "No need, in fact, the uncle gave brother some buns at that time, and brother was full."

When he mentioned buns, he thought of the two buns that the bun shop owner had kindly given him. If they had not been accidentally lost when he was looking for Nangong Rou, the two of them would not have ended up in this situation.

"Oh well"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Rou did not blame Jiang Zhige for eating first, and began to chew the barbecue without hesitation.

There was dead silence in the Zhengyang Palace.

The hundreds of powerful men who were originally discussing Jiang Zhige's past fell silent and lowered their heads.

At this moment, everyone present was filled with emotions.

Could a brother who is willing to sacrifice his own flesh and blood for his sister really be the Demon Emperor that people imagine him to be?

Perhaps, the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige is not as one-sided as the rumors say.

No one has ever truly understood Jiang Zhige, and no one knows what he is thinking now that he is on the verge of death.

Tears glistened in Nangong Rou's eyes. She bit her lips tightly and turned her head away, somewhat afraid to look at the scene in the light and shadow.

Perhaps it was because of her overwhelming emotions that she did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort when she witnessed the scene of herself devouring human flesh.

Qu Yun's face was gloomy. It was obvious without any guessing that Nangong Rou must be deeply moved at this moment.

He admitted that Jiang Zhige had been very good to Nangong Rou in the past, but now that things had come to this, he would never allow the woman he loved to turn against him.

Just as Qu Yun was thinking about how to turn the situation around, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Xiao Rou, I really envy you a little bit. At least Jiang Zhige has been so nice to you."

When everyone heard the voice, they looked and found a beautiful woman in a red dress, charming and attractive.

"It's Fairy Zi Yan. When did she come? Wasn't she dealing with the remaining followers of the Demon Emperor?"

"With Fairy Zi Yan's cultivation at the peak of the Profound Realm, it won't take her too long to deal with a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

"It is rumored that Fairy Zi Yan was once the disciple of the Demon Emperor, but she was drugged by the Demon Emperor and lost her virginity. Now that the Demon Emperor is about to die, she should have come here to see his miserable state."

Mo Ziyan, with her long skirt like flames, is enchanting and sexy. Her every frown and smile has a charm that can make men lose their minds. She is one of the three female protagonists in the novel.

Although there are rumors that her innocence was taken away by the Demon Emperor, she is as beautiful as a fairy and has an unparalleled beauty. She can still surpass many peerless beauties and is ranked among the top ten beauties in heaven.

At this time, Mo Ziyan had a complicated expression as she stared at the sad little boy in the light and shadow picture.

For some reason, even though her revenge was about to be accomplished, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.

At this moment, Nangong Rou suddenly let out an extremely sad laugh.

"Be good to me? Be good to me? Zi Yan, do you know how he treated me later?"

Nangong Rou stopped avoiding and turned back to look at Jiang Zhige in the center of the hall.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she screamed hysterically, "He killed my father and stole my clan's treasure. He is a scumbag and he deserves to die!"

It was those unforgettable memories that made Nangong Rou hate Jiang Zhige so much.

She hated Jiang Zhige's ruthlessness, and she hated his betrayal even more.

She clearly had deep feelings for Jiang Zhige, but was betrayed when she trusted him the most.

"Why! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Nangong Rou burst into tears, accusing herself over and over again in her heart.

If Jiang Zhige had been acting from the beginning, she would have felt better.

But Jiang Zhige didn't. Judging from the pictures in light and shadow, his friendship with Nangong Rou was not fake.

Qu Yun was secretly delighted. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. Nangong Rou did not seem to have reduced her hatred for Jiang Zhige because of this.

After editing the memory of surviving in the snow, Jiang Zhige was relieved. This memory almost moved him to tears. Nangong Rou would be a little soft-hearted, right? Unexpectedly, just as he began to imagine a happy life after escaping the predicament, Nangong Rou's crying voice suddenly came from the outside world.

"Damn it, listening to the crying, let alone abandoning Qu Yun to save me, now you wish I were dead?"

Jiang Zhige felt guilty. He didn't expect that after Nangong Rou saw the touching memories of the past, she not only did not regret helping Qu Yun to kill him, but hated him even more.

If you think about it carefully, Nangong Rou originally turned hatred into love. The more she cared about the relationship back then, the more she hated Jiang Zhige's betrayal later.

If Jiang Zhige wants Nangong Rou to come to the rescue, he still has to modify Nangong Rou's ending plot.

"Well, Rou'er, just wait and shed tears for your brother again."

Jiang Zhige was quite confident about modifying memories, because he had not only read the original novel, but also knew many immortal love stories.

As long as he edits the past memories with the three heroines properly, not only can he make the three heroines feel regretful, but he may also be able to make thousands of people in the heaven change their impression of him as the Demon Emperor.

By then, Jiang Zhige will be out of trouble, in power, and drunkenly lying on the lap of a beauty, wouldn't he be more powerful than an emperor? Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Zhige suddenly felt weak all over, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.

"No way? This is only the first day?"

Jiang Zhige suddenly panicked and almost forgot that the Sky-binding Chain was still draining his life.

At this rate, he might not last the full seven days before dying.

"No, I have to think of another way out."

There are only seven days left, and Jiang Zhige cannot place all his hopes on the three heroines.
