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

Seventeen suddenly felt that this girl was quite considerate.

However, they are inexperienced and their minds are too naive.

It was thanks to him that I met him; if I had encountered some bad person, I might have been doomed.

Seventeen went to get the bamboo pole as she instructed and tried to save her using her method.

However, even the longest bamboo pole couldn't reach her.

Seventeen wasn't in a hurry, and shrugged as he looked at Yu Xiaoxiao.

"Go now. As I told you before, once you're out, have someone help you get me out of here. You'll get a lot of gold then."

After making the promise, Yu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, feeling a little regretful as she thought about how many beautiful sights she hadn't seen yet.

But in the end, to die in this beautiful blue pool was a fitting tribute to her good deeds, her love for the beauty of the world, and her efforts to protect these landscapes.

"Are you willing to die like this?" Seventeen asked.

"It's alright. There are too many things in this world that make us unwilling and not worth clinging to, but these mountains and rivers will never let us down. If there is any regret, it's that I haven't seen enough of these beautiful landscapes."

They share a love for scenery, just like Seventeen, but Seventeen feels that the world isn't so bad after all; some people are destroying things while others are trying their best to mend them.

There are heartless and ungrateful people, but there are also people who are loyal and righteous and worthy of support and following. As long as these worthy people exist, this world is still worth living.

Moreover, he always remembered a sentence that Jin Wuchen once said: If you don't like the world as it is now, then make it into the world you like.

"If you haven't seen enough, then keep watching," she said in chapter seventeen.

Yu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and said, "But I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Seventeen threw the bamboo pole in his hand into the water, lightly touched the water with the pole to gain leverage, flew to the middle of the water, and lifted Yu Xiaoxiao up.

Before Yu Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, she was already on the large stone slab on the shore.

"You...I..." Yu Xiaoxiao gasped for breath, then suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.

"No, stop! Put these clothes on first. It's freezing cold here. If you wear wet clothes, you'll freeze to death in no time."

Seventeen placed a set of her own clean clothes on the stone slab next to Yu Xiaoxiao.

He put down the clothes, turned his back to the place where he had put his things, and went back to drawing his unfinished painting.

Yu Xiaoxiao wisely changed into his clothes. The clothes were quite large, making it inconvenient for her to walk, so she had to carry them.

Walking up to Seventeen, I saw his painting.

It's really well drawn. I thought his travelogues were already exceptional, but I didn't expect his drawings to be even better.

"May I take a look at your travelogue?" Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the already rather thick travelogue and really wanted to read it.

She had already guessed that there were travelogues and drawings on the paper in front of her.

She has limited access to scenery, so it's best to read travelogues to imagine the beautiful landscapes she hasn't seen.

After finishing her drawing, Seventeen closed the notebook and, without even looking up, replied, "We're not close, we can't."

Yu Xiaoxiao blinked and said expectantly, "What you said makes a lot of sense. After all, this is your hard work, but I really want to see it. Can I pay to see it?"

Seventeen squinted and asked her, "Are you very rich?"

Yu Xiaoxiao knew that wealth shouldn't be flaunted, otherwise it could be dangerous, but she just trusted the person in front of her so much that he said, "Hmm, you're quite wealthy."

Seventeen shoved the notebooks away without slowing down at all. "But I don't need the money."

"Then what do you lack? You certainly don't seem like someone who's short of money. If you had money, you definitely wouldn't lack anything that money can buy," Yu Xiaoxiao reasoned.

"Do you lack friends?" Yu Xiaoxiao felt that friends couldn't be bought.

When it comes to friends, he didn't have any a long time ago, but now, the first person that comes to Seventeen's mind when he hears the word "friends" is Jin Wuchen.

Upon closer reflection, there are also the Twenty-Four Fiends and many brothers in the Canal Gang.

"It's not that we're really short of them," Seventeen shook his head.

"So you wouldn't mind having one more? I'll try my best to be a close female friend, okay?"

Yu Xiaoxiao really wanted to get to know him.

Seventeen still didn't react.

"Are you married?" Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she saw that he was unmoved.

Seventeen was somewhat confused. "Why are you asking this?"

"I asked first, so you answer me first. As a reward for answering first, I can tell you how to get to another absolutely stunning place in this area."

Seventeen listened to the charming Yu Xiaoxiao speaking in a serious tone, saying things that were not to be taken advantage of, and she was not disgusted. She looked delicate, but she always had a smiling face.

She wasn't arrogant or spoiled; she was very polite and didn't try to take advantage of anyone.

"no"

Seventeen answered truthfully that he had never thought about getting married.

Seeing that his young master's love life was somewhat bumpy, he didn't want to suffer in love. It wasn't that he was afraid of suffering, but he just felt it was unnecessary.

"How about I marry you?"

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at him and asked directly: rather than marrying some random stranger, she would rather marry someone she liked at first sight, someone who shared her interests, and someone who had saved her life.

Seventeen paused in his hand and asked, "Are you beating around the bush? You said you wanted to read my travelogue, but you're back to that old trope of offering yourself in marriage?"

"If I marry you, we'll get to know each other, right? You can't stop me from seeing you, can you? Besides, I'm rich. You'll get a lot of dowry if you marry me." Yu Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and stared at Seventeen.

Seventeen couldn't bear to be stared at like that any longer, so she took the travelogue out of her bag and handed it to her. "There's no need for that. Marrying a stranger for a book like this is ridiculous. Do you even know if I'm a human or a ghost?"

He remained unmoved, which left Yu Xiaoxiao feeling somewhat frustrated. She was considered one of the most beautiful women in Kang Jintai.

Putting aside her looks, she's also rich and has a mine.

While she might not be the kind of woman a man would fall head over heels in love with, she certainly wouldn't be someone he couldn't bear to even glance at.

The man before me was truly extraordinary: handsome, skilled in martial arts, talented, and fond of nature.

Beauty could not seduce him, nor could money move him.

Such people are truly rare, but it also made Yu Xiaoxiao a little angry. She wasn't afraid of people having weaknesses, but rather of people having no weaknesses at all.

But these worries only troubled Xiaoxiao for a moment, and in the blink of an eye she was deeply attracted by the travelogue in her hand.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice Seventeen had started a fire to dry her clothes.

He was still deeply immersed in the book.

Seventeen roasted a rabbit, and the people around him were completely unaware, watching with great interest.

Her focused expression and occasional self-talk resonated with Seventeen, instantly giving her the feeling of being understood while sightseeing.

Many of her thoughts and opinions were remarkably similar to his, as if the two of them had traveled together to the famous mountains and rivers he had visited and shared the same feelings.

Yu Xiaoxiao felt the same way; no one had ever been able to connect with her so deeply.

She adored the person who wrote such a beautiful and moving travelogue after seeing these sights.

If her previous statement about wanting to marry Seventeen was half sincere and half insincere, after seeing what Seventeen wrote and drew, she made up her mind that she would marry the person she admired.

If he doesn't want her to be his wife, she can stay with him as a travel companion and see the world's sights and storms together.
