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

Upon entering the hall, next to Jin Wuchen stood a handsome young man of about the same age as him.

The handsome young man is taking his pulse; this must be Fei Zhiyou.

"I'm fine, no need to take my pulse," Jin Wuchen said, pulling his hand back.

"Indeed, it's nothing serious. The poison has been expelled from your body. Apart from being a little weak, you're fine."

"Hey, wait a minute, what happened to that wound on your neck?"

Fei Zhiyou stood up, flipped open Jin Wuchen's collar, and examined him closely.

"Luckily, it's just a cut, but I'm really curious who did it. In all these years, not even a mosquito has managed to leave a mark on your neck."

Fei Zhiyou was investigating how the wound was formed when Jin Wuchen slapped his hand away.

He raised an eyebrow, gave Chu Luo a meaningful look, and said, "Today I met a playful little fox. While teasing her, I accidentally got scratched by her claws."

"What kind of fox is this...?"

Before Fei Zhiyou could finish speaking, he saw Jin Wuchen looking at the beauty at the door.

I remembered Jin Wuchen saying that this trip home was very interesting, as he immediately staged a scene of a flower thief.

Fei Zhiyou looked Chu Luo up and down.

It was an extremely rude act, but his eyes were clear and meant no other.

Chu Luo did not feel offended.

He approached Chu Luo, then changed the subject, saying, "I was wondering what kind of cute and lovable fox it was, that would rid the people of such a scourge; now I've seen it."

Chu Luo smiled and politely bowed to him.

Fei Zhiyou gave off a very relaxed vibe, and with him around, Chu Luo felt that Jin Wuchen wasn't so scary after all.

"I didn't call you here to amuse yourself; don't just talk and do nothing."

Jin Wuchen spoke up to remind him.

"If you're not here to amuse yourself, then come and see the beauties! I'm thoroughly enjoying it and I'm watching right now."

Fei Zhiyou didn't even glance at Jin Wuchen, keeping his eyes fixed on Chu Luo.

Jin Wuchen said, "Today someone claimed to be a toy given to me by someone else, saying he didn't know how many days he could live in my hands. I'm here to show you how long he can actually live."

Chu Luo then remembered that she had spoken this truth.

His damn good memory.

But that's not what she meant, so why does she need a doctor to come and see her?

Fei Zhiyou walked up to Chu Luo with a smile.

He was nothing like the doctors Chu Luo had ever seen before; he was more like the storyteller from Qinglou.

Even so, Chu Luo still felt that this person's medical skills were extraordinary.

"My beauty, give me your hand."

He respectfully extended his hand in front of Chu Luo.

Faced with this sudden request to take her pulse, Chu Luo nervously placed her hand on it.

Hopefully, the medicine she took last time will continue to conceal her pulse; she has to hold on until today.

He began to quietly take the pulse, remaining silent for a long time.

His serious demeanor made Chu Luo a little restless.

"Why is my beauty's heart beating so fast? Has she been frightened by him?"

Chu Luo remained silent, pondering what to do.

"Don't be nervous, he's just that kind of person who likes to play around and have fun."

If he said anything unpleasant to you before, don't take it to heart.

There's no point in changing his mind anyway, so letting him go is pointless. We might as well just enjoy each day as it comes.

Fei Zhiyou reassured Chu Luo and withdrew his hand from taking her pulse.

Chu Luo felt that his words of comfort were actually unnecessary.

The implication is that Jin Wuchen is not a good person, and we should cherish every day before he takes action.

"My beauty, do you suffer from heart pain? Do you have trouble sleeping at night, have a poor appetite, experience occasional heart palpitations and chest pain, and feel a little short of breath...?"

Fei Zhiyou described some symptoms, and they all matched the description.

Chu Luo nodded and said, "Apart from the heartache, the other symptoms are nothing serious. The discomfort will subside in a little while."

"How did you notice that something was wrong with the beauty?" Fei Zhiyou turned to look at Jin Wuchen.

"She had an unhealed wound inside her arm that was painful to the touch, but on the surface there were only faded old marks with no new injuries. Her breathing was also inconsistent, sometimes steady and sometimes erratic."

Jin Wuchen pointed out the mistakes to Fei Zhiyou.

Chu Luo then realized that he had genuinely noticed something was wrong, which was why he had Fei Zhiyou come to check.

It wasn't really because of what she said; it was truly difficult to ascertain whether what he said was true or false.

Just now, he only lightly touched her through her clothes when he picked up the paperweight, and he was able to detect a subtle change.

This person is truly like a demon in human form, incredibly powerful.

“Your observation is good, but there’s a problem. However, her arm is just the tip of the iceberg.”

She must have taken a poison called Viola, both internally and externally, after suffering a severe injury, to heal her surface wounds.

The surface is scarless and without marks, but the inside remains untreated.

Fei Zhiyou then spoke, revealing the findings from taking the pulse.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Wuchen said, "I know about the Vilo Grass, but I remember that as long as it is not taken in large doses, the poison can be excreted from the body normally and will not affect her heart and lungs."

Chu Luo realized that he also knew a little about pharmacology, which explained why he wasn't afraid of the muscle-relaxing powder she had given him.

"Yes, but she took a lot of Viola.

For some unknown reason, the poison not only couldn't be expelled, but it slowly accumulated in the blood and entered the heart and lungs day by day.

Fortunately, she had been taking high-quality medicine to regulate her spleen and stomach, which controlled the absorption of the herb.

Otherwise, the situation would likely be much worse now; once the poison takes hold, he might not live much longer.

"Madam, you should refrain from saying anything unpleasant in the future. If your words come true and you die, that won't be fun."

Jin Wuchen smiled knowingly.

Chu Luo had no idea it would be this serious.

It's unclear whether it was due to her unusual pulse.

Fortunately, the medicine that concealed her pulse was still effective, and Fei Zhiyou did not detect her abnormal pulse. She did not pay much attention to anything else.

Fei Zhiyou found that Chu Luo was indeed remarkably calm, remaining composed even when his life or death was at stake.

"However, it's alright. We discovered it early, and I have a way to get rid of the residual poison. I also have a way to treat the hidden injuries, but they will need some time to recuperate properly."

"Thank you, Young Master Fei," Chu Luo bowed in thanks. She wasn't actually too worried.

Seeing Fei Zhiyou's confident demeanor from the very beginning, one could tell that he had a plan.

"I can cure your physical ailment, but my beauty, your excessive worry and anxiety will worsen your heartache, which cannot be cured by medicine."

Why don't you tell me what's wrong? I'm usually understanding of other people's troubles, and maybe I can help you."

Fei Zhiyou spoke as if no one else was around.

If it weren't for Jin Wuchen's presence, he probably would have immediately put his arm around her and comforted her.

"Fei Zhiyou, you're too long-winded. Once you've prescribed the medicine, get out of here."

Jin Wuchen tapped the table lightly with the jade token in his hand, somewhat impatiently.

"Are you saying I'm getting in your way? Didn't you just get a few women at Ziyun Terrace last night? Wasn't that enough?"

Fei Zhiyou looked at Jin Wuchen with ill intent and asked the question that Chu Luo was wondering about.

"Since you miss them so much, why don't I have someone send them to your residence as a birthday gift for you this year?"

Jin Wuchen showed no emotion, just a natural, calm, and calculating air.

"What do you mean? How is this a birthday gift?"

"I've been your slave all year round, always at your beck and call, and you just dismiss me with a wave of your hand when you're unhappy."

"Look at how utterly heartless he is with his friends, beautiful lady. Who else can you expect him to be kind to? Why don't you come with me?"

Fei Zhiyou didn't bother arguing with him; instead, he directly poached his employee, acting as if he would retaliate against anyone who was unjust to him.

The fact that he dared to act this way with Jin Wuchen suggests that the two have a really good relationship.

Chu Luo really wanted to ask Jin Wuchen if he could consider Fei Zhiyou's suggestion.

Jin Wuchen saw through Chu Luo's thoughts at a glance, and asked her with a smile, "Are you going?"
