Just to ask for a few buns for a sister who was not related to him by blood, the notorious and powerful Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige actually knelt down and kowtowed.

If it were someone else, people might not have such a big reaction.

But this is the Demon Emperor who kills people like crazy and rules the heavens.

Such kindness and righteousness actually appeared in him? It seems that the Demon Emperor in his early years was not as violent as people thought, but for some reason his temperament changed drastically later.

Looking at the people in the hall who were so shocked that they were speechless, Nangong Rou's heart remained calm.

So what if he knelt down and kowtowed for her? Didn't he betray her later?

The better Jiang Zhige treated her at this time, the more she hated Jiang Zhige's betrayal later.

The bun shop owner finally softened his heart and handed two buns to Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige never asked for buns directly from beginning to end, but his sincerity, which could not be faked, was enough to move the bun shop owner.

Just two buns, he has never been such a stingy person.

The main reason why he didn't give Jiang Zhige the buns was that he thought Jiang Zhige would become a petty thief.

Knowing that Jiang Zhige was doing this for others, his risky act of stealing actually seemed admirable.

Jiang Zhige stood up and took the bun with both hands, and expressed his gratitude solemnly: "Thank you very much. Although Jiang Zhige is a beggar, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today one day."

Seeing Jiang Zhige's serious expression, the bun shop owner was stunned for a moment, then said with a bit of a smile: "It's just two buns, you should go back to find your sister as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhige nodded. He knew that the bun shop looked down on a beggar like him for his favor, but he just needed to remember it.

Jiang Zhige is a beggar, but he is only nine years old, but he always has lofty ambitions in his heart.

One day the dragon will marry the phoenix, so why would you want to live your whole life with holes in your pants?

After saying goodbye to the bun shop owner, Jiang Zhige couldn't wait to run out of the city.

"Rou'er, you must be impatient, right?"

Feeling the hot buns in his arms, Jiang Zhige felt a sense of relief.

For the past half month, he dreamed of seeing Nangong Rou smile happily again.

It's not just because of hunger. A seven-year-old girl who is suddenly away from her parents for half a month must feel deep fear and helplessness.

Jiang Zhige makes a living by begging and has a low status, so he has no ability to help Nangong Rou find her parents.

All he could do was to stay with Nangong Rou as a brother, giving her a little warmth of home and reducing her inner fear as much as possible.

"Look at this determined look in his eyes. The Demon Emperor was destined to be something special since he was young."

"I admire you so much! If I had been begging since I was young, all my ambitions would have been crushed by the suffering."

"No, why are you praising the Demon Emperor so much? No matter how powerful this guy is, he is still an unforgivable scum!"

"That's right. An emperor who stepped on thousands of corpses to ascend to the throne is not worthy of being called an emperor."

"That's wrong. Looking back at the history of the great emperors, which one didn't have a pile of corpses under his feet?"

"After hearing you praise the Demon Emperor so much, why are you still here to fight him? Why not join Xuan Cang Holy Land?"

Everyone present was a strong man who was respected by the outside world, so naturally no one was willing to give in to the other, and a fierce quarrel and debate began.

"Please don't hurt the harmony. The Demon Emperor is not dead yet. It's not time to rest easy."

Qu Yun's face looked grim, and he felt very unhappy inside.

Just a glance from childhood could cause hundreds of powerful people who were vying for the top of the heavenly realm to fall into quarrel.

If you ask who has this ability, the only one in the world is the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige.

Even though he killed countless people, it did not prevent people from admiring him.

Nangong Rou beside him had a complicated expression. She hated Jiang Zhige deeply, but she had to admit that Jiang Zhige's life was legendary. He rose from a beggar to an emperor and ruled the heaven for nearly a thousand years.

If Jiang Zhige had not committed so many evil deeds and caused attacks from all sides, he would have been able to control the heaven for tens of thousands of years.

Outside Yucheng, Jiang Zhige quickly ran into the ruined temple.

"Rou'er, look, I..."

He was stunned before he could finish his words, because Nangong Rou was not in the dilapidated temple at all.

Jiang Zhige's heart skipped a beat and he had a very bad feeling.

"Rou'er! Rou'er!"

"Brother found something delicious for you, don't be angry!"

Jiang Zhige searched anxiously nearby, but no matter how he called out, he received no response. It was clear that Nangong Rou was no longer around.

“Is it possible?”

Jiang Zhige's face turned pale. Nangong Rou disappeared inexplicably. She might have gone out to look for her parents.

He immediately rushed out of the ruined temple, praying that he could find Nangong Rou's footprints nearby.

Unfortunately, the downy snow had been falling all day, and the footprints had long been covered by the snow.

Jiang Zhige stood in the snow, his eyes full of despair.

Nangong Rou was only seven years old. If she got lost outside, even if she didn't meet any bad people, the wind and snow would take her life.

I finally have a younger sister, am I just going to let her die out there?

Jiang Zhige couldn't do it. Although the chance of finding Nangong Rou was slim, after living together for half a month, he couldn't bear to part with this adopted sister.

"I'm going to find her"

Jiang Zhige cheered himself up again and walked towards Yucheng again in the heavy snow.

If he couldn't find it in one day, then he would try two days. If he couldn't find it in two days, then he would try three days. He believed that good people will be helped by good fortune, and as long as he was still alive, they would definitely meet again.

For the next half day, Jiang Zhige searched all the familiar places in the city, but he didn't see Nangong Rou.

He became increasingly uneasy and kept calling out Nangong Rou's name in the city.

In fact, during the half month they were together, Jiang Zhige still had some selfish thoughts. He didn't want Nangong Rou's parents to really come over, because then he would lose his sister Nangong Rou.

At this moment, Jiang Zhige regretted. He regretted not doing his best to find Nangong Rou's parents, and regretted not being able to take good care of Nangong Rou.

If Nangong Rou could have reunited with her parents, she wouldn't have fallen to the point of living like a beggar, and she wouldn't be in the danger she is in now.

As long as she can live, what is there to be reluctant about?

As it was getting dark, Jiang Zhige was completely desperate and walked on the street in a daze.

He kept comforting himself, but he couldn't deny in his heart that it was basically impossible for a young girl without independent ability to survive in the snowstorm.

"Don't worry, little sister. My Shen family is very wealthy. As long as you become my maid, you and your brother will have no worries about food and drink, and enjoy a life of wealth and glory."

"Really? But the older brother said I was still young."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

Jiang Zhige suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of excitement.
