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

I watched for a while, but I didn't get the feeling of that person from the rainy night at all.

That person's demeanor and mannerisms were very different from those of these assassins.

Interestingly, not long after the bounty for killing the Ouyang official was issued, a bounty for protecting the same Ouyang official was issued, offering even more money.

I wonder if that official surnamed Ouyang is here.

Once the first round of bounties ends, the big gamble begins.

Chu Luo had never seen it before and stared at it with wide, curious eyes.

This world is so colorful, but she hasn't seen much of it in her lifetimes.

As they talked, the lobby on the first floor had already been set up and furnished.

This place is different from other casinos.

Here, the stakes can be money, goods, people, houses, news...

Anything that the other party deems valuable is acceptable.

A girl, still quite young, dressed in expensive silk and gauze, was escorted by several people to sit down first.

Soon, someone poured a box of gold onto the table in front of her.

She seems to be a wealthy young lady who came to broaden her horizons.

No one was gambling with her yet, so she was bored and just piled up the gold to play with.

"I'll bet with you, but I have no money."

A burly man sat down in front of her.

Actually, targeting a girl who's just there to watch the fun is, to say the least, a bit like picking on someone vulnerable.

Those looking for fun naturally went elsewhere.

But here, nobody cares if you're despicable or vile; you have to accept the consequences of your bet.

A childish female voice rang out, "I don't lack money. You can gamble with other things if you don't want to, but if you win, all the gold in front of me is yours."

"If I lose, I'll cut off this hand and give it to you."

The big man was incredibly arrogant, completely disregarding the girl in front of him.

"Okay, I agree."

In the blink of an eye, the young lady won.

The burly man was completely bewildered and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

The young lady softened and said, "Never mind, you can go."

The big man breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Luo didn't want to see too much bloodshed either.

Before the Khan could even finish celebrating, a flash of sword light appeared, and a bleeding hand was already on the table.

The young lady was startled.

Chu Luo was also startled by this sudden turn of events.

"Why did you cut off his hand? I already promised to let him go!" the young lady asked, realizing what had happened.

"What's said is said, and the rules of Ziyuntai cannot be changed," the person who took action replied.

"Who made such an inhumane rule? I'm a guest!" The rich girl's temper flared up.

"This is Young Master Jin's territory, and these are the rules set by Young Master Jin. Do you have any further questions?" the man who had his hand cut off replied respectfully.

A butler-like man quickly stepped forward, "No, no, this is my young lady's first time here. She's unfamiliar with the rules and didn't mean to offend Young Master Jin."

Seeing that someone knew the rules, the man who had made the move smiled and replied, "Miss, even though he was cheating, he still couldn't beat you. He didn't lose unjustly."

"Oh, he cheated?"

"Yes, but cheating is allowed at the Ziyuntai Casino. Miss is quite something. I hope you have a good time."

Then they brought out a large fruit platter, thus calming down the little incident.

The farce was quickly forgotten.

After all, these people are not simple characters; they are all focused on their own betting games.

Chu Luo looked at the severed subordinate on the table and then glanced at the room on the third floor where Jin Wuchen was.

This person, who was completely different from her and so far away from her, was the one she married.

Tonight, her fear of him intensified.

She wished he would never return to the Jin family, so she wouldn't have to face it or worry about her hands and feet being cut off.

Chu Luo didn't gamble, so she went to the back to sit and drink tea.

While listening to people chatting, she pondered how not to provoke Jin Wuchen after he returned to the manor.

Will that person bet today?

Those present didn't dare mention his name during the discussion; they only referred to him as "that person."

That person specifically refers to the most important person in Qingyuntai, Jin Wuchen.

"do not know"

Legend has it that he built this Purple Cloud Terrace because he was a gambler, and the stakes for betting with him had to be extraordinary.

"Perhaps he had no rivals or something, but not many people saw him actually gamble."

"In my opinion, no matter how skilled a gambler is, there will always be a day when they lose; how can they always win?"

As Chu Luo listened to their conversation, she recalled the man in black from the rainy night.

He once said, "If you don't want to lose, never gamble."

She thought that the man in black must be someone who doesn't gamble.

After all, top assassins gamble with their lives, risking everything.

The slightest mistake could not only lead to mission failure, but also death, a stake far higher than the gamble at this table.

Chu Luo drank some tea and ate some snacks, then felt sleepy and simply leaned against the table to doze off, unlike the people watching the game nervously next to her.

Chu Luo didn't wake up until the gong sounded for the second auction.

She roused herself; it was already the fifth item up for auction.

Five beautiful women of non-Han descent were dancing passionately, dressed in short, thin clothes.

The dance was powerful, with graceful movements of the waist, captivating and mesmerizing.

Chu Luo found it pleasing to the eye.

She's a beauty that even women admire, so men must adore her even more.

"These things can still be auctioned off? Women are just playthings, not presentable at all."

"Yeah, a woman isn't worth much anyway, it's a waste of time to put her fifth on the list."

The two fat, big-eared men spoke with an air of self-righteousness.

Chu Luo felt disgusted listening to their comments.

He was thinking of ways to secretly teach them a lesson.

Before Chu Luo could make a move, a pleasant female voice rang out:

"Two vermin crawling out of some nook and cranny, weren't you born of a woman?"

The two fat, big-eared men were momentarily stunned, not yet realizing that the female warrior was cursing them.

He asked, "What did you say?"

"If you can't even understand human language, you're probably not meant to be human. How could someone like you deserve to be born?"

The man was furious that he had been insulted by a woman.

He snapped, "How dare you, a lowly woman, insult two grown men like us? This is outrageous and against all reason!"

"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting? Have you even seen what the sky looks like? Don't spout such rubbish; watch out, one day the heavens might open their eyes and strike you dead with lightning!"

The woman's beautiful voice was deafening at that moment.

"You...you...you shrew, ugly woman, always causing trouble, worthless trash."

The two men were so angry that their chests heaved.

Chu Luo really hoped they would die of anger.

Some of the men were also displeased with this chivalrous woman who spoke out for justice, and they began to criticize her, probably because they outnumbered her.

Chu Luo wouldn't let this chivalrous woman be the only one criticized.

She stepped forward and said, "You don't even look at your disgusting appearance in front of others. Go sell yourselves for money and see what happens. I think even if you were chopped up and fed to the dogs, they wouldn't want to eat you."

“Well said, I think so too,” the female knight stood beside Chu Luo and smiled at her.

Although Chu Luo couldn't see her face, she could see that her every move was captivating, and every strand of her hair was delightful.

She thought this chivalrous woman must be an exceptionally beautiful and talented woman.

Even the way he cursed sounded like fine jade clashing together, powerful and resonant, something Chu Luo could appreciate and love in every way.

The chivalrous woman also felt a mutual respect for Chu Luo.

"You're in cahoots," the male protagonist said, pointing at the female knight-errant.

Chu Luo found it disgusting and secretly released a hidden weapon from her wrist to injure the rude man's finger.

"Oh, karma's coming," the chivalrous woman mocked as she saw the fat man clutching his arms in agony.

The two men wanted to retaliate, but their hands were in too much pain.

Seeing the guards who came after hearing the noise, and thinking that he would suffer a loss, he was so angry that his face turned red, but he had no choice but to leave.

While they were lecturing people, five beauties in the room were photographed by a vendor.

But he immediately said that he would give these five beauties to Jin Wuchen.

Jin Wuchen did not refuse, and soon the five beauties were invited up to the third floor.

"Hmph, five vixens, daring to lay a hand on Young Master Jin."

A woman spoke up out of jealousy.

"What do you think?" The chivalrous woman who had spoken up for justice earlier asked Chu Luo, her eyes fixed on her.

"Those women are beautiful. Young Master Jin is so lucky. It's enviable." Chu Luo was quite happy that Jin Wuchen had accepted them.

But her praise for the women's appearance was entirely genuine.

"I think so too. Look at how strong their waists are, they must feel really good to the touch."

"what?"

The chivalrous woman exchanged a smile with her and said, "The envy in your eyes is very real, but your waist is even more beautiful."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Chu Luo's waist.

Chu Luo didn't know if the chivalrous woman had seen through her disguise and cross-dressing.

The woman wanted to say something more to Chu Luo, but was called away by her subordinates. Before leaving, she said to Chu Luo with some regret, "I feel we are destined to meet again."

"I feel so too"

Now that Chu Luo has come up with the idea of ​​the Purple Cloud Platform, how can she possibly have any further social interactions?

It's unknown whether she'll live to see them meet again.

The thought that these beauties could keep Jin Wuchen lingering outside for a few more days made Chu Luo feel that the person who sent them was right.

After a while, Chu Luo finally saw the Liangyu Pipa.

It is crystal clear and lustrous, gleaming with a cold light that seems otherworldly, unlike anything found in the mortal world.

This jade pipa fetched a price she could never have imagined.

She wasn't really capable of taking pictures anyway, so she just watched for a while, which was enough for her.

Soon, the final round of hefty rewards began.

Chu Luo had no interest in listening anymore and planned to go backstage to collect the money from selling the medicine and return to the Jin family.

A hefty reward is offered for information leading to the discovery of Young Master Qinglou Yinshan.

Upon hearing this, Chu Luo immediately stopped in her tracks.

To everyone's surprise, her name ended up on a wanted list with a hefty reward.

Who exactly is looking for her? Isn't this putting the name of Hidden Mountain in jeopardy?

Chu Luo couldn't help but feel a lingering fear; tonight she had almost disguised herself as Yin Shan and gone out.

Afraid of being recognized by sharp-eyed people, Chu Luo quickly walked to the trading area to get the money.

Feeling uneasy, she walked out of Ziyuntai and then quickly left.

She was eager to get back to the Jin family home as soon as possible; it was the safest place until Jin Wuchen returned.

But once Jin Wuchen returns, the Jin family will become the most dangerous place.

The bounty on Ziyuntai didn't specify whether Hidden Mountain should be dead or alive, and Jin Wuchen would eventually return to the Jin family.

Her bloody storm is coming; we need to prepare early, at the very least we need to stock up on medicine to stop the bleeding and heal the wounds.

Chu Luo got busy early the next morning.

"Xingzhu, where in the manor can I find ink?"

Chu Luo looked up and asked Xing Zhu, who was making medicine for her, that her medicine required a certain kind of ink.
