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

"Young master, that young lady can't continue like this."

The housekeeper was at a loss. Physical ailments could be cured with medicine, but anyone could see that the girl's illness was emotional. This delicate, frail, and loyal girl was physically easy to heal, but her heart was difficult to cure.

"It's alright. She's just woken up, and it's understandable that she's feeling sentimental and sad. Let her vent her emotions. Have the doctor wait, take these heart-saving pills, and see how she is in another day."

The young man, as beautiful as a pear blossom or a crabapple, spoke softly, his expression calm and his tone composed.

He was draped in a snow-white cloak without a trace of Northern Fierce Fox fur. He handed out an exquisite jade medicine bottle from his bosom. His fingers were long, pale, and bloodless, so much so that sunlight seemed to shine through them.

His clothes and the butler's clothes seemed to be from two different seasons.

"This medicine is extremely difficult to refine, and the ingredients used are also rare. Are we really going to give it to her?" The butler's eyes were fixed on the bottle of medicine.

"Well, even the best medicine wouldn't be of much use to me, but it's different for her. Her injuries are quite severe, and this will help her recover faster. It's more valuable than using it on me, so let's not waste it."

The young master said with a smile, a smile warmer than the sunshine, and his tone showed no trace of self-pity.

"Yes, young master." The steward waved casually as he carried the medicine bottle back, and soon a doctor followed him.

This place has no shortage of doctors who understand medicine. Because of his young master's health, even he knows a little about medicine and could easily become a quack doctor, let alone these medical experts.

As night fell, Chu Luo wiped away her tears and whispered into the darkness, "Brother Jingyuan, it's alright, we'll meet again."

The next day, to the surprise of the housekeeper and the woman who was looking after Chu Luo, Chu Luo woke up early, washed up, and was not as sad as she had been when she first woke up.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face looked as if it were covered with a thin layer of frost, but she already had energy and spirit.

She ate normally, but was still taken aback when she saw the medicine bottle handed to her by the butler. What kind of family would give her such expensive pills to heal her wounds and cure her illness?

There aren't many pills in this bottle, but even so, if it were placed in Jin Wuchen's Ziyun Terrace, it would probably sell for thousands of gold coins per pill.

According to the calculation methods of those organizations that disregard human life, this one bottle is probably worth several people's lives.

"Is this for healing my wounds? It's too precious, I can't use it," Chu Luo refused.

"My master instructed me to give you the medicine. Please take it without worry; no payment is required."

The steward was surprised that the girl could tell the medicine was rare and valuable just by smelling it. She was quite discerning at such a young age.

"I don't want to. You have already done me a great favor by saving me. How can I accept such a heavy gift?" Chu Luo said earnestly.

"Why should you care so much about material things, young lady? Only by having a useful body can you do useful things. No matter how expensive medicine is, it is not as important as human life. The value of medicine lies in its ability to cure diseases and save lives."

The steward's explanation left Chu Luo speechless, and she had no choice but to take the medicine.

Chu Luo asked the butler what kind of place this was.

"Miss, feel free to walk around and look around. You'll understand what kind of place this is once you get a feel for it," the butler replied with a smile.

The butler spoke with profound wisdom, treated people with kindness and courtesy, and even the woman who had taken care of Chu Luo was exceptionally elegant.

Chu Luo was genuinely curious about this place, and it was quite strange that the butler allowed her to move around freely without fear of offending her.

After taking the medicine, Chu Luo felt sharp-eared and clear-sighted, and her whole body felt smooth. She listened to his instructions and started walking around.

She walked for some time but hadn't gone very far. Many places attracted her to stop, and she became increasingly curious about what kind of place this was and who the owner was.

She lived in a courtyard, but it seemed to have no boundaries, with people farming, washing clothes, and spinning yarn.

Everyone's face was beaming with a contented and peaceful smile; words like "living in peace and contentment" seemed insufficient to describe it.

These people didn't know her, but they would greet her in a friendly and equal manner and invite her to sit down and rest, without any sense of hierarchy.

People were coming and going on the road. She saw a rather large silver bracelet lying in the middle of the road for a long time, but no one picked it up. Even the children who had been playing around with it didn't seem to care.

A father carrying a load of manure for irrigation was telling his three- or four-year-old son historical stories, which were quite insightful.

The child listened with great interest, and even Chu Luo couldn't help but listen along for a while.

Chu Luo noticed that the women on the street were all walking alone, and she didn't see anyone wearing a bamboo hat, so she obviously didn't feel there was any danger.

Chu Luo walked up to a stall selling pastries. The pastries were shaped like cute animals and smelled incredibly delicious.

Chu Luo had almost no money left, and she only looked at the items without showing any intention of buying them.

"Young lady, you look unfamiliar. Come and try my steamed buns." As she spoke, the old lady selling steamed buns had already wrapped a bun in a leaf and handed it to Chu Luo.

"No need, I'm not hungry," Chu Luo quickly waved her hand.

"It's a pleasure to have guests from afar. This bun isn't big, but it's for you, young lady. Please don't mind, have a taste." The old man was very hospitable, and Chu Luo couldn't refuse his hospitality.

I had no choice but to eat it. The skin was thin, the filling was generous, the meat was fresh, and the taste was really good.

After Chu Luo finished eating, she pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair and tied it with a tree branch.

"Auntie, I was in a hurry to leave and didn't bring any money with me. Please give me this hairpin as collateral." Chu Luo handed the silver hairpin to the old woman.

"Girl, take it back quickly. It's free; it's a treat for you. If I asked for money, I wouldn't have invited you. The serendipity of our meeting far outweighs this bun, don't you think?"

The old man smiled and took the hairpin from Chu Luo's hand, then re-inserted it into her hair.

"Thank you, Auntie." Chu Luo continued walking forward, and only then did she realize that this place was an island in the sea, a place unknown to outsiders.

After looking around, Chu Luo's first thought was of a paradise on earth.

She originally intended to thank the person who saved her and then leave, but now it seemed that leaving wouldn't be so easy.

This place is almost completely isolated from the world. Although there are ships going out, they don't go out all the time, and the time hasn't come yet.

And you have to go to the house in the center of the island.

She wanted to go to the center of the island to find someone, but she wasn't familiar with the way if she went any further. She wasn't worried about danger, but she was afraid of wasting time, as it wasn't dark yet.

She asked a passerby for directions, and a child volunteered to take her to the island's heart village.

The gate to the house on the island was open, and since no one needed to announce their presence, Chu Luo walked in on her own.

It wasn't until she saw the housekeeper again that Chu Luo realized the person she was looking for was the one who had rescued her. She went out through the back door and ended up in a circle at the front door.

"Uncle Butler, could you please take me to thank your master?" Chu Luo asked, bowing.

The butler smiled and said, "Of course."

As they took Chu Luo to meet people, the further they went in, the louder the sound of reading aloud became.

As Chu Luo walked further in, she heard several older voices, who seemed to be arguing about some kind of reasoning.

Following the sound, Chu Luo saw a platform.

Standing above are the young man who was just selling melons on the street, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, and a refined gentleman who is diligently taking notes on the young man's words.

There were also some people whose clothing was not obvious, who were probably engaged in different jobs and were seriously thinking and debating something.

Their remarks were increasingly bold and original, and upon closer listening, they made a great deal of sense.

What an amazing place.

Chu Luo felt like she had experienced this feeling somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
