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

Some of the locals on the shore had already returned from their trip home, carrying plenty of food. Others had brought out roosters that were soaked to the bone, a local custom to express gratitude.

It seems they wanted to give it to their brothers in the Grand Canal Gang as a thank-you gift.

"The current is more turbulent and dangerous in the middle. Why don't you order them to rest for a while before continuing?"

Chu Luo was genuinely worried about these people; she feared that if Jin Wuchen didn't give the order, they would fight to the death.

“They know what’s going on,” Jin Wuchen replied.

It turned out he hadn't ordered them not to rest; she had misunderstood him again.

He noticed that she was worried about one thing one minute and concerned about another the next; she seemed to care about no one but herself.

Jin Wuchen asked her, "Did you take your medicine yourself?"

She couldn't sit still, so she stood in the wind for two hours.

"Huh? Medicine? What medicine?"

At that moment, she didn't care about taking any medicine. Just then, an untimely gust of wind blew by, and Chu Luo started coughing.

Xingzhu quickly handed her water and poured out some pills for her to take. She was also drawn to the tense situation on the river. If the young master hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that her young mistress should have taken her medicine long ago.

Xingzhu didn't know how calm and collected he must be to remember the young mistress's medicine in this situation. "Young master, we are all so nervous and anxious, how come you are acting like nothing is wrong and not worried at all?"

"If you forget about her medicine again next time, I'll have Granny Jin replace you."

Upon hearing that he wanted to replace her, Xingzhu panicked and immediately swore, "I promise it won't happen again. Please don't make me leave the young mistress."

Although it was inappropriate, Chu Luo felt a warmth in her heart because of his words. Although he was a demon, it did not affect his thoughtfulness.

Another hour passed, and the three gaps in the middle were still problematic. Not to mention the one in the very middle that was the most dangerous, one of the other two had been repaired only to be breached again, and the other was also in imminent danger.

Everyone knew that those dressed in white had reached their limit.

But they kept going, jumping in one after another. Chu Luo saw the person in charge, called Seventeen, jump in to save a brother who had just boarded the boat to rest after seeing him faint in the water.

The longer it takes, the more water will accumulate, making it more difficult and dangerous to repair the dam.

Even the highly skilled Seventeen was in danger while saving people, and Chu Luo's heart was in her throat.

Seventeen and several other members of the canal gang had been submerged underwater for quite some time.

They are already very strong; if something happens to them, I'm afraid no one will be able to save them.

"Young Master..." Before Chu Luo could finish her call, Jin Wuchen leaped from Wangjiang Pavilion to the center of the dam.

His bright red attire was dazzling, and his graceful and light figure made him seem like a god descending from heaven.

He observed it from the air for a while, then fell straight into the water without leaving a trace.

In no time, he swiftly and cleanly lifted two people from the water and leaped onto the boat.

Everyone was shocked. Chu Luo hadn't expected that he could rescue the two people from such a dangerous place so easily.

His red clothes became even more vibrant when wet. Without resting, he leaped into the water again and rescued two more people.

Seeing the four people wake up and stand up on the boat, Chu Luo breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.

Jin Wuchen, who had just saved the person, did not stop. He went back into the water and did not reappear for a while.

When everyone saw that the area on the left, which was originally on the verge of being breached, was gradually blocked, they knew that he was there.

By the time he flew out of the water again, the problem on the left had been solved.

He went back to the ship to get the supplies, and then went to the area on the right that had been breached.

This breach is large, and the surging water is like a vicious dragon, ready to devour everything that tries to fight against it.

Jin Wuchen was not afraid at all. This time he needed to move even faster, otherwise he would be knocked down.

Before the person even appeared on the surface of the water, Chu Luo could already hear the cheers of the people. The water had stopped flowing downstream; he had blocked it again.

Let alone the fact that hundreds of ordinary people with good swimming skills couldn't accomplish this, even the dozen or so members of the Grand Canal Gang, known for their exceptional swimming abilities, couldn't do it, yet he did it with ease.

The people discussed with surprise, "This is something no one person could accomplish! How can there be such a powerful being? Could he be sent by a god?"

He did all this with ease, as if it were child's play in the water. Chu Luo even began to wonder if Jin Wuchen was some kind of water spirit that had transformed into human form.

Only the largest and most dangerous gap remains in the middle.

Jin Wuchen flew onto the boat, gathered everyone together, and said something to them. Several boats then began to move towards the middle of the river and eventually joined together.

The intention was to use these heavy ships to block the waves and divert some of the flow, but the impact force of the gap in the middle of the dam was extremely strong. Even if the ships could block some of the flow, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it was better than nothing.

Jin Wuchen submerged himself in the water right in the middle of the dam.

The people on the boat continuously poured materials for blocking the dam into the water using heavy iron chains.

Jin Wuchen remained hidden, leaving everyone watching on the edge of their seats.

Chu Luo asked someone to bring more dry handkerchiefs and some warm clothes, as it must be very cold to stay in such cold water for so long.

She didn't dare to look, so she found something to distract herself.

On one hand, she told herself that Jin Wuchen was very powerful, but on the other hand, she was also very clear about how dangerous it was. No matter how powerful Jin Wuchen was, he was still a human, not a real god or demon.

It was her asking him for help again.

"Young Master has surfaced to breathe!" Xingzhu shouted. She rarely saw Jin Wuchen personally take action, so she was naturally worried about such a dangerous situation.

Chu Luo quickly looked over, but Jin Wuchen only appeared for a short while before disappearing into the water like a red dragon.

Jin Wuchen's figure in the water kept captivating Chu Luo's eyes and, unknowingly, also captured her heart.

Chu Luo sincerely admired and was delighted by the way he focused intently on his dangerous work.

For most of the hour, Jin Wuchen only came out to catch his breath twice; the rest of the time he remained underwater.

Although the gap is gradually narrowing, the longer it goes on, the worse it is.

Chu Luo grew increasingly worried about Jin Wuchen's safety. Previously, the brothers from the Cao Gang could take turns with each other, but he only had himself.

After a while, although the gap was no longer large, it did not shrink as gradually as before.

Chu Luo remembered the times Jin Wuchen had taken a breath the previous times, and figured it was time for him to surface for air, but he didn't.

A sense of fear crept into Chu Luo's heart. Just as Chu Luo was extremely anxious, the brothers of the shipping guild on the boat also realized that something was wrong.

Seventeen gathered his men, seemingly to go into the water to investigate; he had discovered a problem.

Just then, he flew out of the water, dressed in a bright red robe.

As he emerged, the gap was completely sealed off, and Chu Luo felt relieved to see him in his red robes again.

Tears of excitement welled up and streamed down her face. "Jin Wuchen, you are really amazing."

Chu Luo wanted to shout it out to him, but she ultimately suppressed her excitement and joy.

Just then, dawn broke. Although the rain was still falling, the clouds had slowly dispersed, and it shouldn't be long before the rain stopped.

The sunlight shone on Jin Wuchen, creating a backlight for him. After cheering and jumping for joy, the people on the shore saw this scene and felt that Jin Wuchen was truly a god descended from heaven. They knelt down in front of Jin Wuchen.

Jin Wuchen landed on the dam and glanced at it to see if there were any leaks. He didn't care much about the people's actions; he never wanted to be worshipped by anyone.

But this scene was etched in the hearts of countless people: a figure in dazzling red, standing tall and elegant above the raging river, with countless rays of light behind him. This scene was also deeply imprinted in Chu Luo's heart.

Before people could even get a good look at his face, he flew to the Wangjiang Pavilion, far from the crowd, after making sure no one had been missed. All eyes followed his son.

Outside the Wangjiang Pavilion, a woman dressed in the same red dress was waiting.

The woman had cascading black hair, a graceful and slender figure, and though her features were not clearly visible, she was still considered an absolute beauty.

It is said that heroes are always paired with beauties, a timeless truth.

Seeing Jin Wuchen fly over, Chu Luo excitedly took a clean handkerchief and a warm cloak, and stepped forward to wait for him.

Jin Wuchen landed with his hair completely wet and a chill emanating from him. Seeing Chu Luo about to put a cloak on him, he bent down and Chu Luo tiptoed to put the dry cloak on him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jin Wuchen asked Chu Luo, who had been staring at him.

"Because you're handsome," Chu Luo blurted out, only then realizing that she had been staring at him without moving for quite some time.

Upon hearing this, the chill emanating from Jin Wuchen seemed to dissipate, and he instantly broke into a radiant smile.

"The first time you told me I was pretty, you wanted to elope with me. What about this time?"

"You should take a closer look," Chu Luo replied with a smile.

The people in the distance couldn't see it clearly, but they felt that this scene was both beautiful and heartwarming. Their god-like benefactor had saved their homes, and he also had a warm home to return to.

very nice.
