Chapter 8 Nangong Rou's Compassion



One risked his life to save his sister, and the other refused to join the immortal sect without hesitation for his brother.

"I really can't understand why the Demon Emperor's temperament changed so drastically after such a deep brother-sister relationship."

"You'll know if you look down. Where are we going?"

"By the way, a fairy is indeed a fairy. She was so cute when she was little."

"Fairy Nangong is not far away, be careful not to get hit."

Nangong Rou didn't pay attention to these discussions, her attention was always on the picture of light and shadow.

At this moment, her cheeks were blushing, and she could hardly believe that the girl in the picture was herself.

What does "I only want my brother" mean? Even when I was a kid, it was too embarrassing, right?

Qu Yun, who was standing next to him, looked grim upon seeing this, and his murderous intent towards Jiang Zhige grew stronger.

Although there has not been any substantial progress with Nangong Rou, Qu Yun has already regarded her as his own.

Seeing the woman he liked being shy because of someone else, Qu Yun would naturally feel extremely aggrieved, not to mention that Nangong Rou was such a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Chance?"

Jiang Zhige's eyes flashed. Could it be a chance for an immortal to call it a chance? Or a mountain of treasure? No matter which one it was, it was enough to tempt Jiang Zhige.

"But this ten miles of land"

Jiang Zhige sighed silently. Although opportunity was important, he still had to consider it carefully.

For others, even without taking a carriage, it would be easy to walk ten miles on foot.

However, Jiang Zhige was weak and had just been beaten up. It was difficult for him to even stand steadily, and it was almost impossible for him to walk the ten miles.

The old man in white robes also emphasized that he wanted to go with Nangong Rou. Jiang Zhige had difficulty walking ten miles by himself, so how could he be able to take Nangong Rou with him? "By the way, where is that bastard?"

At this moment, Jiang Zhige suddenly thought of Shen Quan who was not far away.

He turned his head and found that Shen Quan and the Shen family guard had disappeared.

Jiang Zhige immediately thought that something was not good. The old man in white robe did not kill Shen Quan directly and left. Now, who knows whether Shen Quan will be frightened or transfer his anger towards the old man in white robe to him and Nangong Rou?

Noticing Xu Ling's gaze, the Shen Mansion's steward sighed, stood up and walked over to say, "Children, you'd better leave Yucheng as soon as possible. The master of the family has always been vindictive. You failed to worship the immortal as your master. When he recovers from his leg injury, he will definitely take revenge on you."

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Zhige was in a heavy mood. After he finished speaking, he pulled Nangong Rou, who was still sobbing, and ran out of the city.

The manager of the Shen Mansion was right. If he and Nangong Rou had not been able to take the old man in white robe as their master, they would still be ordinary beggars.

As one of the richest businessmen in Yucheng, how could Shen Quan care about two little beggars?

So this was not the time to think at all. If he left any later, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot by the people from the Shen Mansion.

I had originally thought that even if I wanted to go, I would have to recuperate for a few days. I didn't expect that the opportunity ten miles east of the city would be Jiang Zhige's only way out.

Nangong Rou was unable to react to Jiang Zhige's sudden action, but when she saw the seriousness in Jiang Zhige's eyes, she subconsciously dared not cry anymore.

"Brother, are we going back?"

"No, I'll take you to a fun place, but it's a little far. If you behave yourself, I'll give you something delicious, okay?"

Jiang Zhige appeared to be comforting on the surface, but he was extremely solemn inside.

If the opportunity mentioned by the old man in white robe did not allow him to get what he wanted, he and Nangong Rou would definitely freeze to death in the heavy snow.

Hearing that there was something delicious, Nangong Rou quickly changed her mood and said excitedly: "Brother, don't lie! Rou'er will definitely be obedient!"

Amid the laughter of children, the brother and sister gradually moved away from Yucheng.

"He's only nine years old, but he has such a steady mind. Even if the opponent is the mighty Demon Emperor, I still don't dare to believe it."

"Nonsense, the Demon Emperor has been begging since he was young and trying to survive alone in the chaotic world. If compared with an ordinary child, the cold winter alone would kill him more than a hundred times."

"Yes, even at the moment of life and death, the Demon Emperor is trying hard to make Fairy Nangong happy."

Everyone in the hall sighed. Having witnessed the previous memories, they all knew how difficult it would be for Jiang Zhige to walk the ten miles.

With the cold winter, hunger, physical weakness, injuries, and the presence of Nangong Rou, the possibility of Jiang Zhige reaching the ten miles east of the city safely was almost zero.

Not far away, Qu Yun had a gloomy look on his face. The fact that they could see this memory proved that Jiang Zhige did not die on the ten-mile journey.

They were able to survive in such a desperate situation. What did Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou experience on the way? Nangong Rou, who was standing next to him, sighed and looked a little melancholy.

At this point, no matter how much she hated Jiang Zhige, she had to admit that she once liked Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige back then was not a powerful warrior who could fight a hundred people alone, nor was he the Demon Emperor who ruled the heaven, but he fascinated Nangong Rou so much.

But who could have expected that the brother and sister who survived together in a desperate situation would become enemies because of a treasure? "Jiang Zhige, what happened to you later?"

Witnessing these dusty memories, Nangong Rou gradually felt a little confused.

If she were given a chance to start over, what would she do?

An hour later, outside Yu City.

It would take an ordinary person two hours to walk ten miles, even at the slowest pace. However, Jiang Zhige walked for an hour and it seemed that he had not even walked halfway.

As if the sky was deliberately mocking Jiang Zhige, it started to snow down again, adding a layer of white raincoat to his clothes.

Crunch, crunch. The thick snow was enough to cover Jiang Zhige's knees. He carried Nangong Rou on his back, endured the pain and moved forward step by step with difficulty.

Nangong Rou, who was standing behind him, looked weak and murmured, "Brother, how long will it take? Rou'er is so hungry."

She was better off than Jiang Zhige, but she also hadn't had a full meal for half a month and was almost exhausted.

"It's almost there, Rou'er, hold on a little longer."

Jiang Zhige’s face was pale, and his lips turned purple from the biting cold wind.

In the endless snowfield, his frail body seemed so small.

Jiang Zhige thought about giving up more than once and just dying in the snow, but the weight from behind kept reminding him that he must not die, otherwise Nangong Rou would not be spared.

Jiang Zhige raised his head and looked forward. In fact, he still held out a glimmer of hope.

The snow was not heavy today. If Jiang Zhige was determined enough, he might be able to take Nangong Rou to find the plum tree that the old man in white robe mentioned.
