Everyone in the palace was quite emotional. They had heard some rumors about the relationship between the Demon Emperor and Fairy Nangong, but they never thought that the two had such a deep relationship back then.

One fought desperately to save his sister, while the other refused to join the Immortal Sect without hesitation for his brother.

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

"You'll know just by looking down, where are you going?"

"Speaking of which, fairies are indeed fairies. They were so cute when they were little."

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

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

At this time, there was a blush on her cheeks, and she couldn't believe that the girl in the picture was herself.

What does "I only want an older brother" mean? Even when I was a child, it was too embarrassing, right?

Qu Yun, who was standing next to him, looked ugly when he saw this, and his murderous intention towards Jiang Zhige became even stronger in his heart.

Although he has not yet made any substantial progress with Nangong Rou, Qu Yun has already regarded her as his own.

Qu Yun would naturally feel extremely aggrieved when he saw the woman he liked being shy because of others, not to mention that Nangong Rou was such a stunning beauty.

.........

"Opportunity?"

Jiang Zhige's eyes flashed. Could it be called an opportunity by the immortals? Could it be the secret to cultivating immortals? Or could it be a mountain of treasure?

No matter what it was, it was enough to make Jiang Zhige tempted.

"But these ten miles..."

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

For others, it is easy to walk ten miles on foot even without riding a carriage.

However, Jiang Zhige was weak and had been beaten severely just now. Now he could barely stand still, and it was almost impossible to walk ten miles.

The old man in white robe also emphasized that he should go with Nangong Rou. It was difficult for Jiang Zhige to walk ten miles by himself. How could he have the ability to take Nangong Rou with him?

"By the way, where's that bastard?"

At this moment, Jiang Zhige suddenly remembered Shen Quan not far away.

He turned around and saw that Shen Quan and the Shen family's guard had disappeared.

Jiang Zhige suddenly thought to himself that something was wrong. The old man in white robe left without directly killing Shen Quan. Now who knows whether Shen Quan will be frightened to death, or will he transfer his anger towards the old man in white robe to him and Nangong Rou?

Noticing Xu Ling's gaze, the steward of the Shen Mansion sighed, stood up and walked over and said: "Children, you should leave Yucheng as soon as possible. The master of the house always takes revenge. You failed to worship the immortal as your teacher. Wait until he heals his leg injury.

If you come here, I will definitely take revenge on you."

"Thank you."

Jiang Zhige felt heavy. After saying this, he pulled Nangong Rou, who was still sobbing, and ran out of the city.

The manager of the Shen Mansion was right. He and Nangong Rou were still ordinary beggars if they failed to take the old man in white robe as their teacher.

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

Therefore, this was not the time to think at all. If he had left a little later, he might have been beaten to death by the people of the Shen Mansion.

I originally thought that even if I wanted to go, I would have to recuperate for a few days, but 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 move, but seeing the seriousness in Jiang Zhige's eyes, she subconsciously did not dare to cry anymore.

"Brother, are we going back?"

"No, brother will take you to a fun place, but it's a bit far. If Rou'er can behave well, brother will give Rou'er something delicious, okay?"

Jiang Zhige looked comforting on the outside, but inside he was extremely solemn.

If the opportunity mentioned by the white-robed old man 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 delicious food, Nangong Rou quickly changed her mood and said excitedly: "Brother, don't lie to others! Rou'er will definitely be obedient!"

Amidst the laughter of children's voices, the two brothers and sisters gradually moved away from Yucheng.

........

"You are still nine years old, but you have such a stable mind. Even if the opponent is the powerful Demon Emperor, I can't believe it..."

"Nonsense, the Demon Emperor has been begging since he was a child and has survived alone in troubled times. If compared to ordinary children, the cold winter alone can kill him more than a hundred times."

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

Everyone in the hall sighed, having witnessed several previous memories, they all knew how difficult it was for Jiang Zhige to complete this ten-mile journey.

Due to the cold winter, hunger, physical weakness, pain, and Nangong Rou, the possibility of Jiang Zhige safely arriving ten miles east of the city was almost zero.

Not far away, Qu Yun's expression was uncertain. The fact that they could see this memory proved that Jiang Zhige did not die during the ten-mile journey.

Even though they were able to survive in such a desperate situation, what exactly did Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou experience on the way?

Nangong Rou next to him sighed, looking a little melancholy.

Now, even if she hates Jiang Zhige, she has to admit that she once liked Jiang Zhige.

At that time, Jiang Zhige was not a strong man who could defeat hundreds of people, nor was he a demon emperor in charge of the heaven, but he was so fascinated by Nangong Rou.

But who would have expected that a brother and sister who survived a desperate situation together would turn against each other over a treasure?

"Jiang Zhige, what happened to you later..."

Seeing these dusty memories, Nangong Rou gradually felt a little confused in her heart.

What would she do if she was given a chance to come back again?

.......

An hour later, outside Yucheng.

It only takes two hours for an ordinary person to walk ten miles, no matter how slow it is, but Jiang Zhige walked for an hour and seemed to have not even finished half of it.

As if deliberately mocking Jiang Zhige, the sky began to fall with goose down snow again, adding a layer of snow-white coir raincoat to him.

Crunch, crunch...

The snow was thick enough to cover Jiang Zhige's knees. He carried Nangong Rou on his back and endured the pain as he walked forward step by step.

Nangong Rou, who was behind him, looked weak and murmured: "Brother, how long until we arrive? Rou'er is so hungry..."

She was better than Jiang Zhige, but she hadn't eaten enough for half a month and was almost exhausted.

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

Jiang Zhige's face was pale, and his lips were turned purple due to the biting cold wind.

In the endless snow, his frail body looked so small.

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

Jiang Zhige raised his head and looked ahead. In fact, he still had a glimmer of hope.

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

But there is another prerequisite, that is, the weather will not get worse.
