Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

"I thought you..." Shu Tong didn't finish her sentence.

Chu Luo continued, "So you think my excessive kindness outweighs my ability to distinguish right from wrong?"

Shu Tong didn't say anything, but that's what she was thinking.

"That would cause a lot of trouble and put those around me in danger. If you had actually gone in with me, I would have been a burden and dragged you down if anything happened."

Chu Luo is soft-hearted, but not brainless.

"None of this matters; you will never be a burden to me."

These are Shu Tong's honest thoughts.

Even if Chu Luo discovers nothing, it's no big deal. She can just kill gods and demons alike.

This city isn't a place where reason prevails; sooner or later, a fight will break out.

Shu Tong spoke little, but she never uttered a single falsehood or wasted word to Chu Luo, a fact Chu Luo was well aware of.

Chu Luo had a gut feeling that Shu Tong meant her no harm.

She has always been wary and doesn't easily trust others. Even after knowing Shen Wei for so long, he's not entirely sure what she really looks like.

She had absolute trust and confidence in Shu Tong.

Before arriving, the Black Witch Doctor was confident of victory, believing his scheme to be unparalleled.

The adults and the girl both trusted him and let him do as he pleased.

In the end, he was the one who was too clever for his own good and ended up being a complete fool.

Lady Shu Tong wouldn't believe him at all, nor would she care what he did, since he basically couldn't touch her anyway; he should have thought of that long ago.

How Lord Shu Tong acts depends on what Chu Luo wants to do.

Who would have thought that Chu Luo, who seemed the most vulnerable and easily deceived, actually had so many cunning schemes behind her back?

“You’re not familiar with them, so you definitely won’t be able to negotiate as well as I have. After all, they have to give me some face. If things go wrong, a fight might break out, and we might not even be able to get out.”

The black witch doctor tapped the table, signaling the two to listen to the old man's words.

"Don't worry, I was just afraid they outnumbered us and we wouldn't be able to get out. That's why I chose this city gate tower; it's easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we really can't win, we can just jump off the city wall and get out."

Chu Luo smiled and gave an explanation.

The Black Witch Doctor no longer found that smile gentle and charming; instead, he felt it was more like a knife.

Shu Tong tossed the dagger onto the table, leaned against the pillar behind him, and closed his eyes to rest.

After waiting for a while, someone shouted from below the city wall, "Who is sending grain?"

The sound was like a tiger's roar, shaking the surrounding dust.

"Did I just say that to those kids?" Chu Luo asked, puzzled.

Shu Tong answered calmly, "No."

Chu Luo: "Then..."

Shu Tong: "Ignore her."

The Black Witch Doctor felt it was too dangerous to be with Lord Shu Tong, and he didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.

The people below were already cursing and swearing, extremely angry.

Chu Luo felt that Shu Tong understood the locals' way of communicating better, so she obediently sat and waited for the people below to speak properly.

Seeing that the bows and arrows were already drawn below, and noticing the two men's unmoved expressions, the black witch doctor slapped his thigh and cursed, "What a disaster!"

He got up and walked to the city wall, looking down at the two or three menacing-looking figures below, and said, "I am the Black Witch Doctor, so please don't rush to attack me."

"Black witch doctor, what are you doing here? Let the people who are supposed to deliver the food come out and talk to us. If you dare to play us, we'll boil water, cook human flesh, and have a feast today!"

The tallest and strongest man below was carrying a large guillotine on his shoulder and shouting.

“Barbarian Wolf, don’t fight. Let’s talk this out. This is a job posting, not a food delivery,” the Black Witch Doctor explained with a fawning smile.

If they can't explain it clearly, they might actually cook people to eat if they see there's no food.

"Get out of my way! Let someone who can speak talk. Even a rat has to leave with a lot of flesh after coming to Sensha City."

"The savage wolf shouted."

Chu Luo got up and walked to the edge of the city wall, looking down at them from above.

They looked down on Chu Luo as soon as they saw that she was a woman, and their mouths were full of foul language.

Chu Luo spoke, but her voice was drowned out by their filthy chatter.

Chu Luo somewhat regretted, "I should have disguised myself as a man."

Standing on the city wall, Shu Tong said, "There's nothing to regret. In this place, it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman."

Chu Luo was puzzled. Didn't they look down on women? If they didn't talk about men and women, what did they talk about?

Shu Tong coldly looked at the group of people below and said, "A beating will do the trick."

"Huh?" Chu Luo was still confused.

Shu Tong leaned forward and fell like a leaf.

"Shu Tong, what are you doing?"

As Chu Luo asked the question, Shu Tong, to the astonishment of the crowd below, delivered a spinning kick that knocked down five or six people.

The people below reacted and raised their weapons to fight Shu Tong.

Shu Tong's moves were fierce, and each move would knock several people to the ground.

Chu Luo was originally worried that Shu Tong would suffer because of their superior numbers.

Fortunately, Shu Tong's dagger was not drawn; it could injure people but not kill them.

Their leader, Wild Wolf, resembled a wolf, and led the others in waves to pounce on Shu Tong.

The number of people standing dwindled with each beating, while those who were knocked down cried out in despair.

Even the Black Witch Doctor couldn't bear to watch. Lord Shu Tong's method of handling things in a brutal and ruthless manner was as simple and crude as ever.

Before long, everyone below, except for the wounded wolf, was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The barbarian wolf swung his large guillotine at Shu Tong, but Shu Tong nimbly dodged and kicked him in the chin, leaving the barbarian wolf with a mouthful of blood.

"If you only know how to dodge, what kind of man are you if you can't fight head-on?" The wolf was big, strong, and relatively agile.

But his agility was no match for Shu Tong. He knew that if he tried to out-skill Shu Tong, he would be killed.

So, the shameless Ji Shutong...

Shu Tong raised an eyebrow. "Since this is your request, I will grant it."

Shu Tong threw Chao Chuluo aside and faced the barbarian wolf empty-handed, but the barbarian wolf did not put down the guillotine.

He raised his knife and slashed at Shu Tong, but Shu Tong got close and kicked him in the middle, causing his hand holding the guillotine to go limp in pain.

Shu Tong kicked him in the thigh again, and his thigh, which was thicker than Shu Tong's waist, was kicked so hard that he knelt on one knee.

Seeing that carrying a knife was cumbersome, he threw it down and quickly punched Shu Tong with his fist, which was as big as a clay pot.

Shu Tong used the opponent's force against him, using slowness to counter speed, and returned the entire force to him.

Chu Luo could tell that Shu Tong was using the same slow-to-fast technique that Daoist Qi Minglan used.

She learned very quickly and applied it so flexibly.

Chu Luo was initially worried that Shu Tong would not stop hitting her, but she felt relieved when she saw that Shu Tong used Taoist boxing techniques.

"Miss Chu, you should stop him! If someone dies, there's nothing to talk about," the black witch doctor advised. Knowing Lord Shu Tong's past temperament, he was capable of killing people.

"Don't worry, she knows what she's doing," Chu Luo said confidently.

The black witch doctor clicked his tongue. "Where do you get your confidence? She has absolutely no sense of propriety."

Blind self-confidence can be deadly.

"Oh dear, look, Lord Shu Tong has broken another one of his arms. If he goes too far, I won't be able to help you negotiate later."

"It's that savage wolf that keeps lunging forward, not Shu Tong's fault. I've figured it out; we can't reason with them unless they fight. Let them fight."

Chu Luo stood there gazing into the distance, her lips slightly parted, "For this city, today is just the beginning. There will be no shortage of fights like this in the future. You'll get used to it; you'll see it a few more times."

The bewildered black witch doctor muttered, "They can't persuade either of them; both are madmen, one outwardly mad, the other mad to the core."
