Even If I Gave It to You, Could You Hold On to It?

One of them was none other than His Majesty the current Human Emperor.

The other one was Wushuang, whom I had met once before.

Upon seeing His Human Emperor appear here, Ji Chang's heart skipped a beat.

This tyrant actually came?

"Your Majesty, this guilty Ji Chang pays homage to Your Human Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live Human Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Even Ye Xuan showed a hint of surprise when he saw Ji Chang, who looked old and had gained weight.

He was quite surprised.

Is Marquis Ji Chang of the West, really that carefree?

How did I manage to gain weight like that?

That's really strange.

"My dear minister, rise. How have you been here these past few days?"

Ji Chang lowered his eyebrows slightly, simply nodded, and said nothing.

Ye Xuan grinned and laughed silently before walking into the courtyard.

A small portion of the dozens of corpses that had been drying in the courtyard were missing.

However, more than thirty fresh corpses were then hung up.

Upon seeing this, a strange look in Ye Xuan's eyes involuntarily appeared.

It seems we really can't underestimate this so-called great sage of Xiqi.

This guy actually ate more than a dozen in such a short time; he seems really eager to go home.

Ye Xuan then walked inside.

He wanted to see how Bo Yikao was doing.

When you reach the deepest point...

Ye Xuan's pupils narrowed slightly.

I can't believe this guy is still alive?

Bo Yikao is still hanging there.

However, some stones had already been placed underfoot.

This reduced his suffering considerably.

Apart from missing his left arm, there were no other definite injuries on his body.

At this moment, Bo Yikao was unconscious, but seemed to sense that someone was coming.

I somehow managed to wake up, albeit groggily.

Upon seeing His Human Emperor standing right before him, his gaze immediately sharpened slightly.

His gaze then swept over Wushuang's face before finally settling on Su Daji's.

Then a strange expression appeared on his face, and finally he closed his eyes again.

Ye Xuan, however, revealed a playful smile.

"Marquis of the West, I didn't expect you to still have this delicacy?"

"What? You can't bear to eat it?"

Ji Chang's lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

"Your Majesty, the best things are always saved for last. If we eat them now, we won't get any later."

"Therefore, this humble subject has been allowed to remain in this state, and I hope Your Human Emperor will not hold it against me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery.

"In that case, you can keep it and eat it at the very end."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan revealed a wicked expression.

He kicked the stone at Bo Yikao's feet.

Without the support of the stone, Bo Yikao's body suddenly plummeted.

Instantly, there was a sound of bones rubbing against iron hooks.

Bo Yikao instantly gritted his teeth in pain, his entire face contorted in agony, like a vengeful ghost.

"Let him stay raised, but don't let him be too idle. If he's too idle, his meat won't taste good. Marquis of the West, do you understand?"

Ji Chang's face paled slightly, but he finally nodded silently.

Ye Xuan strolled around the courtyard a few more times, carefully examining the corpses. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. After being dried for a long time, the fat on these corpses had mostly evaporated, leaving only some muscle. Each one looked like skin and bones, as ugly as a skeleton.

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at Ji Chang, who had gained a little weight, and couldn't help but speak:

"Actually, your life is truly enviable. Not only do you have delicious meat to eat, but you can also drink incredibly fresh and mellow blood wine. You live a very carefree life."

Upon hearing the Human Emperor's words, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, looked even more displeased.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a man behind the Human Emperor who was being observed by others. Upon seeing this man Marquis Ji Chang of the West, he immediately showed a look of surprise. Who did he see? He actually saw King Qi?

Why was he here? And why was he so disheveled and dirty? What happened?

"Your Human Emperor, may I ask what brings King Qi here?"

Upon hearing Marquis of the West Ji Chang's question, Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.

"Marquis of the West, you've missed a good show."

He laughed as he spoke, seemingly with some regret.

"This is a gift for you, I don't know if you'll like it-------"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was immediately taken aback. King Qi was a gift from His Human Emperor; did His Human Emperor intend for him to devour his elder brother?

Ye Xuan ignored him and turned to look at the person behind him.

"Where do you think I should hang you? You choose a place. This will be your final resting place, so be sure to choose a comfortable one."

Upon hearing this, Zi Qi shocked; he hadn't expected this guy to be so ruthless.

He could see everything in the courtyard clearly; it was filled with corpses, a veritable hell on earth. Was this damned, tyrannical emperor going to hang himself there too?

Is this some kind of plan to expose oneself to the elements and then become food for Marquis Ji Chang of the West?

This damned, incompetent ruler has concocted such a tragic scene; it's simply unbelievable.

And then there's Marquis of the West Ji Chang, a renowned sage of Xiqi, who is now imprisoned here and forced to eat corpses. What would the common people think if they knew this?

Terrified, Prince Qi gasped for breath, his breathing rumbling like a broken gong. This Human Emperor was nothing but a beast in human form, a tyrant for all time! Why had he provoked such a creature? He was now trembling with regret.

It took her a long time to finally react, and she used all her strength to beg Ye Xuan.

"Third brother---please, forgive your elder brother! I know I was wrong---I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I'll never do it again---"

Faced with such a horrific scene, anyone would beg for mercy immediately.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.

"My dear brother, do you think I can be blamed for this?"

"When I first ascended the throne, the entire Yin Shang Dynasty was in turmoil and could hardly be considered stable. At that time, you not only did not help me, but you also turned against me. Do you really believe that?"

"I could have killed you then, taken your life, but out of brotherhood, I spared you, merely banishing you back to Yinxu City."

"Over the years, you've established a small court in Ruins of Yin, played house there, and secretly raised a large army. I haven't really managed you much."

"I just hope you live a good life in Yinxu City, and marry many women to continue our family line. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"I provide you with fine wine and meat, slaves and women as you please, and I offer you gold and silver treasures every year on time. Isn't it good enough for you to continue playing house in Yinxu City and continue indulging your Human Emperor fantasy? How dare you actually rebel?"

"Now that things have come to this, you're begging for forgiveness? It's not like we didn't give you chances, the problem is you didn't know how to cherish them?"

Do you really expect me to let you go twice?

"On the other hand, even if you were to hand over the country, could you hold onto it?"

"Ask the Marquis of Marquis Ji Chang of the West, if he were to hand over the Yin Shang dynasty's territory to you, could you hold onto it?"

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was immediately jolted awake, his whole body trembling.

It turns out that Xiqi's covert development over the years had never escaped the eyes of this tyrannical ruler. No wonder he was so ruthless.

He simply imprisoned himself in Youli City.
