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

After walking for a long time without seeing Jingyuan, Chu Luo became increasingly worried and quickened her pace, eventually starting to jog.

"Brother Jingyuan, you must be alright!" Chu Luo thought to herself as she ran to find him.

The rustling sounds behind her grew louder and louder, but Chu Luo couldn't hear them.

Before she knew it, something wrapped around her waist, and before she could react, she was pulled forward by what was around her waist.

Before she could react, Jingyuan had already pulled her into his arms.

Chu Luo was overjoyed to see Jing Yuan, and her heart was at peace. For the first time, she felt a clear sense of relief, as if she had found something she had lost. It was so good that he was alright.

The vine around Chu Luo's waist loosened, and Jing Yuan lashed out with the vine behind Chu Luo.

Chu Luo turned around and saw a snake with a head larger than a human head flicking its tongue, poised to attack them.

Chu Luo was so frightened that she felt weak all over and couldn't move an inch.

Jin Wuchen put one arm around her and used the vine to deal with the giant snake with the other.

The giant snake nimbly dodged Jin Wuchen's successive vine whips from left and right, resulting in a stalemate where neither the snake could advance nor retreat.

Seizing the opportunity, Jin Wuchen's vine whip suddenly turned around and struck the giant snake's eye.

Enraged, the giant snake lashed out with its tail. Jin Wuchen and Chu Luo were in a narrow and cramped spot, with nowhere to avoid it or retreat.

He turned around with Chu Luo in his arms, taking the blow with his own body, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Despite the huge impact, Chu Luo was still held firmly in his arms without any mishap.

Chu Luo was shocked by the blood on the ground. "Brother Jingyuan, how are you? Don't worry about me, just go!"

Jingyuan gently pushed her back, giving her a look that he was alright.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staggered to his feet, and stood in front of the giant snake. His body completely blocked Chu Luo's path; as long as he didn't fall, the snake would never be able to touch Chu Luo.

Despite being in such a desperate situation, Chu Luo looked at the person in front of her without feeling any fear.

Although the giant serpent's attack was heavy, it also inadvertently helped Jin Wuchen expel some of the poison from the Song of Thorns from his body, and some of his internal energy was recovering.

Once I recover 20% of my original internal energy, dealing with this thing will be a piece of cake.

This giant snake must have been lured here by the snakes he summoned to deal with the birds. This giant snake has lived for too many years and has eaten too many good things from long-lived animals near this prison. Its mind is not like that of an ordinary beast. The methods he used to deal with ordinary snakes are not very effective against this thing. He can only rely on fighting.

Jin Wuchen's internal energy gradually recovered. He wrapped the vines around his hands and stepped forward to fight the snake.

He landed blows with deadly accuracy, taking advantage of the snake's blind spots to catch it off guard. A beast is a beast; even with some intelligence, it is still no match for a human who is nearly as clever as a demon.

At first, Jin Wuchen's advantage was not obvious, but later even Chu Luo, who did not know much about martial arts, could see some of the tricks.

The snake was forced to retreat by Jin Wuchen, and one of its eyes was already bleeding. The snake tried to escape.

Chu Luo immediately got up and ran to Jing Yuan's side, saying, "Brother Jing Yuan, this snake is injured and trying to escape. Let's follow it."

Before Jin Wuchen could react, Chu Luo grabbed his hand and ran forward.

They followed the snake all the way, holding hands without letting go. Jin Wuchen let her hold his hand; this was the first time she had taken the initiative to hold his hand.

Following the snake, Jin Wuchen discovered a new cave. The cave was extremely deep, and the two of them followed it. Because it was dark and the situation inside was unknown, the two of them held hands and never let go.

Chu Luo looked around and decided where to go and which path to take. Jin Wuchen didn't ask any questions. He believed that Chu Luo must have her reasons for doing this, and simply followed her lead.

The giant snake was badly injured and didn't care about the people following behind. The two of them walked forward and came to a puddle. Jin Wuchen naturally picked up Chu Luo and carried her over.

Chu Luo showed no resistance whatsoever. He easily lifted her up with one hand, making her feel as light as a feather.

Continuing forward, the two saw some light, and the large snake passed through a clump of grass and entered a stone wall.

There was no way to continue. Jin Wuchen looked for another exit from the cave, while Chu Luo crouched down in the bushes the snake had passed through, searching for something.

After looking at it for a week, Jin Wuchen returned to stand behind Chu Luo, waiting for her to take her time to look at it.

Chu Luo fumbled around for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She plucked a handful of herbs and excitedly held them up for Jin Wuchen to see. "Brother Jingyuan, look at this! This is Divine Ganoderma Lucidum, which can heal serious injuries. Your injuries will definitely get better now!"

Jin Wuchen squatted down beside her, looked at her, and asked, "You risked coming here to heal my injuries?"

On a whim, he blurted out the question. He didn't write it down, but Chu Luo saw his lips move. They had already developed a tacit understanding, and she knew what he was asking.

Chu Luo nodded. "Yes, yes, this snake is seriously injured and will definitely come looking for herbs. As long as you follow it closely, you'll definitely find herbs to heal your wounds."

As he spoke, he turned around and picked a lot of Ganoderma lucidum.

"Where there is Shenzhi moss, there should be black cypress grass, which can detoxify some poisons. Although I don't know what poison Brother Jingyuan has been poisoned with, we can't delay any longer," Chu Luo muttered to herself as she went to look for medicinal herbs.

Looking at Chu Luo, who was busy and anxious for him, Jin Wuchen suddenly felt a little reluctant to tell her about his discovery.

He hesitated for a moment. He couldn't bear to part with Chu Luo, who cared so much about him. He was greedy for her sincerity. When they were in the Jin family, she was always wary of him. He asked himself if there was anything wrong with that.

But she left decisively, without a trace of reluctance, and without any affection for him whatsoever.

But she not only didn't mind Jingyuan's appearance, who had nothing and was ugly, but also cared for him deeply, was completely unguarded, and even took the initiative to hold his hand, worried about his injuries, paid attention to the poison he had been poisoned, and risked her life for him.

If they leave this place, and Chu Luo learns that he is Jin Wuchen, she will probably stop paying attention to Jing Yuan and destroy their shared life and death here.

They would eventually have to leave, but he hoped she could spend a few more days with him so sincerely and without hindrance. He made a decision and decided to keep the idea of ​​leaving in his heart for a few days.

Chu Luo found a lot of medicinal herbs and filled a whole bag. Jin Wuchen wasn't idle either; he pried off a few stones and took them away. Most of these stones were very hard.

Chu Luo didn't understand. The two walked back step by step. On the way back, Jin Wuchen took her hand and led her back.

Once inside the two caves where they would stay, Jin Wuchen began fiddling with his stones, while Chu Luo processed herbs on the rocks by the stream.

When she finished processing the herbs, wrapped them in larger leaves, and brought them to Jingyuan's side, she saw that he had already sharpened a stone he had brought into a dagger.

"Is this stone any good to use?" Chu Luo asked.

Jin Wuchen handed her the stone dagger and led her to a nearby stone wall. He gestured for Chu Luo to try it out. Chu Luo tentatively cut a tree root and easily severed the old tree root. It was surprisingly easy and effective.

The dagger is also very well-designed; it's amazing how such a simple item can be made with such meticulous detail. In fact, he didn't spend much time on it.

Chu Luo was amazed by his skillful hands and couldn't help but look at them. His hands were swollen and bruised. He had already suffered many wounds outside, and sharpening the dagger had added to them. Many of the wounds were bleeding profusely, and the scabs on the old wounds had reopened.

Chu Luo's eyes filled with heartache as she held his hand and gently blew on it. "It must hurt a lot, why didn't you say anything?"
