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

Chu Luo nodded.

"Didn't you believe it?" the girl questioned Chu Luo.

"Yes, but that doesn't contradict the fact that I drugged you and was on guard against you. The knife is in your hands, whether you put it down or not is something I can't see. The drug is in my hands, whether I put it in or not is something I know."

Besides, I'm often unlucky; many of the people I've met are particularly bad and won't easily treat me kindly.

When Fifteen heard this, she inexplicably felt as if she was talking about him as well.

The girl was somewhat resentful. It was one thing that she hadn't been killed, but she never expected to be defeated by someone she had looked down upon.

"I never expected to fall into your hands. Do whatever you want with me, kill me or torture me."

Having proven her bad luck once again, Chu Luo was neither disappointed nor angry; she had long since calmed down.

"Killing isn't my forte, and you don't need to rush to your death."

Chu Luo turned around, thinking that everything was settled and she should go back to her room.

Suddenly, Fifteen saw Chu Luo throw something towards the woodshed.

He looked closely and, upon seeing clearly, quickly flew over to stop him.

Chu Luo couldn't help but admire and envy his lightning-fast and remarkably handsome figure.

That's some impressive kung fu.

"What are you doing? Why are you setting a fire?" Fifteen angrily threw the tinder he had captured into the water vat.

Just a moment ago I thought this person was not simple, but in the next moment this person went crazy and wanted to set fire to the woodshed.

"All the doors here are locked. I can get out, but you can't. You knew the firewood was smeared with wine and would catch fire easily, yet you still threw a tinderbox. It's a shame someone didn't kill you; you're courting death, aren't you?"

Fifteen didn't spare her a single word.

Chu Luo remained completely calm, smiling as she looked at him and said, "Just as I suspected, the door was locked from the outside."

"You guessed it and still set it on fire? You're really tired of living, aren't you?" Fifteen didn't understand what she was thinking.

Chu Luo smiled without saying a word and sat down on the steps under the corridor.

Fifteen really didn't understand.

Ultimately, he only had the temperament of someone who had been around for over ten years. The more Chu Luo kept quiet about it and acted mysteriously, the more he wanted to know the reason.

After Chu Luo sat for a while, she not only acted as if nothing had happened, but also went back into the house to get tea and snacks. She couldn't finish eating them herself, so she fed the birds that she had teased down from the eaves.

These birds eat their fill and then fly away, only to be replaced by new ones soon after.

They weren't afraid that Chu Luo would catch and eat them.

"You want to catch birds to eat?" Fifteen was trying to strike up a conversation with her, or perhaps he was trying to find out her intentions.

"You have no compassion at all. Besides, you catch birds to eat, and you only catch such small birds?" Chu Luo retorted.

Fifteen, seeing that the trap was ineffective, threw a pebble to drive away all the birds.

Chu Luo watched as the birds flew away, clapped her hands in boredom, and then sat back down to eat snacks and drink tea.

After being poisoned, the girl felt weak and numb all over for a while, unable to utter a single word. It took her a long time to manage to utter a few words.

"She... set the fire to call for help."

Fifteen was quite surprised to hear this. "The assassins have been captured, the danger is over, why would you set fire to ask for help?"

The woman chuckled and replied, "Has she been out of danger? Probably not."

"You have a backup plan? No wonder she kept you around." Fifteen became alert.

The girl laughed sarcastically and disdainfully, but then realized that those words had exhausted her.

I wonder what kind of poison she was given, that it was so potent.

He then fell silent.

After inspecting the area, the fifteenth person found nothing unusual.

Chu Luo sat on the steps, writing and drawing on the ground with a twig, seemingly trying to figure out how to unlock the puzzle box faster.

He went over and grabbed the girl, interrogating them about their next move.

He was skilled in interrogation techniques and knew which parts of a person's body, when crushed, caused the most pain.

Before long, the girl's energy, which had been somewhat restored, was completely ravaged by him.

He dared not disobey any longer: "What other tricks do we have up our sleeves? Isn't you the biggest threat to her in this courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Fifteen immediately realized what was happening and looked at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo was still writing and drawing on the ground, as if she hadn't heard what was being said.

Fifteen wanted to kill her, but he had already decided against killing her now after saving her earlier.

From the moment she spoke until now, she has acted as if he doesn't exist.

To the point that he felt he wasn't an important person.

They didn't see themselves as part of the situation.

He thought she would understand that if he wanted to kill her, he would have done it long ago.

Besides, if she was willing to risk the life of that female assassin, why would she be wary of him? Looking at her innocent and guileless appearance, he naturally assumed that she couldn't possibly think that far ahead.

Unexpectedly, he was blinded by a single leaf.

It's foolish to entrust your life to someone else's unpredictable thoughts.

It's even more foolish to rely on others' kindness and leniency to survive.

Although she wasn't aggressive, she understood this perfectly. She didn't expect anyone to actually protect her.

It's no accident that she's still alive today.

He harbored hostility and murderous intent towards her, underestimated her from the beginning, and consequently looked down on all her actions.

Little did he know that his underestimation of his opponent almost caused trouble.

If the fire really starts, the people outside won't miss it and will definitely come to put it out.

How will he explain this to the young master?

If she dies, the young master can punish him once, and that will be enough.

But if she hadn't died, the young master would have been utterly disappointed in him when he arrived.

Right now, it's still unknown whether she might do something else.

Fifteen looked at her and decided to go all the way.

This person is somewhat clever; she pretends to be harmless and is adept at deceiving people.

Even if she is not as strong as him, it doesn't mean she can't gradually steal his place in the young master's heart.

Although he no longer intended to look down on her, he still looked down on her.

Or, just kill him directly, and then go to the young master to receive punishment.

Chu Luo noticed something was wrong when she saw his expression, and touched the hidden weapon on her bracelet.

Fifteen's desire to kill Chu Luo reached its peak, but after much deliberation, he ultimately decided not to take action.

"I will not take your life today."

After saying that, Shiwu opened the locked courtyard gate with a single palm strike.

Chu Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know why Fifteen harbored such hostility towards her, he ultimately decided against killing her.

The door was open for a while, and Wei's army arrived.

Fifteen, after looking around and inquiring further, found it to be exactly as he had thought.

It was no coincidence that Wei's army arrived so quickly.

Instead, Lu Xi received the distress message.

This woman surnamed Chu sent the message out right under his nose, and he didn't know how she did it.

Fifteen found her somewhat interesting and decided that keeping her was the right thing to do, otherwise it would be so boring.

When Jin Wuchen went to see Chu Luo, Chu Luo was about to rest. Seeing that she had nothing to say to him, he assumed it was just another normal day.

When Feng Wu went to find him and told him what had happened during the day, he learned that she had been assassinated during the day.

It was already late at night after Feng Wu left. Jin Wuchen quietly went to the military camp and arrived at Chu Luo's room.

When Jin Wuchen opened the window to go inside, he immediately noticed something was wrong; there was a sleeping potion in the room.
