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

She endured those punishments and refused to give them any of the things that Lao Longyu had left behind.

They also made up some random claims, which disrupted their arrest plan and bought Lao Longyu some time.

She never saw Long Yu again after that, nor did she hear any news about him.

She didn't know if Lao Longyu had successfully killed the traitor and kept the secret of his hometown, or if such a beautiful place had been protected.

Jin Yuan

A shout from Jin Yuan pulled Chu Luo to another place, a place of complete darkness where only voices could be heard but no one could be seen.

"Jin Yuan and Fei Qi are truly good names; one represents an endless abyss, while the other carries the family's responsibility and hopes."

The voice sent chills down Chu Luo's spine; it was Feng Zhe's voice.

She seemed to have heard the name Jin Yuan somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

Feng Zhe was still saying something, but Chu Luo couldn't hear him clearly.

This voice threw her into a dream of Jiangcheng being ravaged by bloodshed. Whenever she dreamed of the massacre of Jiangcheng, her heartache would flare up.

It rudely woke her from her nightmare.

Chu Luo woke up clutching her chest and looked at Long Yu, who was not seriously injured. She really didn't know how to describe it.

"What's wrong? Does your chest hurt?" Jin Wuchen's voice came.

Seeing Jin Wuchen's concerned gaze, Chu Luo nodded blankly.

Jin Wuchen walked over and picked up Long Yu, saying, "Old man Long, take a look at her."

Seeing that Chu Luo's expression was different from before, Long Yu stopped talking and reached out to take Chu Luo's pulse.

After taking her pulse, he took out a pill from his pocket and gave it to Chu Luo to eat.

After a while, Chu Luo's heartache symptoms improved considerably, but were still as severe as ever.

"Senior Long, do I have a question?"

This was the first time Chu Luo had taken the initiative to ask about her situation.

She didn't know if the current Long Yu could solve the problem he left behind in the previous life, or see through her hidden pulse.

"Your constitution is somewhat special, child. This heartache, while not fatal, is not easy to treat."

Chu Luo understood immediately: even Long Yu himself could not overcome the accumulation of time, and the current Long Yu could not solve the old Long Yu's problem.

The passage of time, besides causing Long Yu great suffering and turning his hair white overnight, also gave him different experiences and skills.

Old Longyu once looked at his completely white hair and aged face while drunk, reminiscing about the past and cursing himself for wasting his life.

At the time, Chu Luo didn't know how to comfort him, but if she could see him again now, she would definitely comfort him with a smile.

"No, look at you when you were young, you couldn't solve the problems you've left behind, so you didn't waste your time, and every step you took counts."

Looking at the little girl, Long Yu was inexplicably moved. "Don't worry, I've hit it off with you right away. I'll definitely find a way to cure you."

Chu Luo looked at the somewhat adorable Long Yu in front of her. If she didn't stop the situation from changing, he would become listless and aged in a year, as if he had aged decades.

It turns out that the hometown that Lao Longyu always wanted to return to was Haiwaihai.

Chu Luo remembered that the person who had severely tortured her to find Lao Longyu was one of Feng Zhe's men.

That means the devastation at the overseas seas was also related to Feng Zhe. She seemed to understand what Lao Longyu meant when he said that traitors would aid and abet evil, harming Dazheng and his hometown.

The Overseas Sea is no ordinary place, and there aren't many people who can harm the mysterious Overseas Sea. The only one she can think of is Feng Zhe.

If the traitors overseas sided with Feng Zhe, then everything would make sense.

"Okay, but it's alright if it can't be cured. It's been flaring up very rarely since Fei Zhiyou... Fei Qi treated it."

Chu Luo feared that if everything happened again like in her previous life, Old Dragon Yu would have fewer regrets if he didn't make her any promises.

All three of them focused their attention on Fei Zhiyou, momentarily forgetting to ask Luo why she could call out Long Yu's name.

Chu Luo asked worriedly, "Senior Long, do you have a way to cure Fei Qi?"

"I've come up with a prescription, but it's missing a key ingredient."

Long Yu still couldn't think of anything suitable as a medicinal ingredient.

Chu Luo continued, "Without the medicinal guide, will this prescription still be effective?"

Chu Luo had heard Lao Longyu say that some prescriptions would be much less effective without a medicinal guide, while others would be completely useless.

Long Yu shook his head and sighed, "It will be somewhat useful. One day of medicine and one day of acupuncture will keep them alive for a while, but they will not wake up, like a living dead."

Chu Luo thought for a moment and offered her suggestion: "This is not the worst-case scenario. We can have a chance to give him a chance to test the medicine."

In her past life, she and Lao Longyu had tried the medicinal catalyst together. If Fei Zhiyou could hold on for a little longer, there might really be a way.

“Sometimes, if the wrong medicinal ingredient is used, it can cause his condition to deteriorate rapidly. The chances of trying are limited. Baby, you'll stay with me for the next few days. I see you in a good mood, and that gives me more inspiration.”

Long Yu was delighted to see her and didn't want her to be by Jin Wuchen's side.

Chu Luo readily agreed, saying that by staying by Long Yu's side, she might recall more details of how they relied on each other to save people and find medicinal ingredients.

Seeing Chu Luo's willing expression, Jin Wuchen was somewhat uneasy about the old man Long Yu. "Testing the medicine is fine, but don't even think about kidnapping my person."

"Don't worry, although I didn't get to drink at the wedding banquet, you've already said you're my wife. Before you two get divorced, I won't cause any trouble or try to reunite you."

Chu Luo was taken aback by Long Yu's absurd words. What did he mean by "before the divorce"? Long Yu used to talk so nonsensically.

Did Jin Wuchen say she was his wife while she was unconscious? Hasn't he always denied this marriage?

She thought he would deny their relationship in front of others.

"Remember your words, or you'll experience my methods again," Jin Wuchen threatened before leaving to attend to the matter of the people from the overseas Chinese community who were supposed to be there.

"This little devil, I don't know who he takes after for his rascally personality," Long Yu said, both angry and helpless.

"Senior, was it Jin Wuchen who told you that I was his wife?" Chu Luo couldn't help but ask while grinding the medicine.

She was also very curious about what someone like Jin Wuchen would say about his wife.

Long Yu suddenly became interested, thinking there was a chance for things to turn around. She stopped what she was doing and asked expectantly, "What, is this kid talking nonsense? Haven't you married him yet?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Luo immediately understood that it was indeed Jin Wuchen who had spoken up. She laughed and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood. He wasn't talking nonsense."

"If you ever don't want to be with him anymore, just tell me. I'll help you escape this misery. You can study medicine with me or find a good family for you."

Long Yu's words left Chu Luo at a loss for words. Her father-in-law, Jin Wuchen's biological father, was also thinking that one day he would help her leave.

Chu Luo was unaware of any misunderstanding they had about Jin Wuchen, and simply stated the facts: "Senior, Jin Wuchen has treated me very well, and the Jin family has also treated me well."

Long Yu thought for a moment and said, "Judging from his childhood, Jin Yuan is not a man of lasting feelings. He can like something for a while and then quickly lose interest, unlike Fei Qi."

Upon hearing the phrase "from childhood to adulthood," Chu Luo knew she hadn't guessed wrong; Jin Wuchen, Fei Zhiyou, and Long Yu had known each other for a long time.

As for who is more mature, there might be a story with Long Yu, but she doesn't have the mind to ask right now. She'll listen to it when Fei Zhiyou recovers.

"Senior, why do you call them Jin Yuan and Fei Qi?"

Chu Luo had known them for so long, and had never heard anyone call them that before.

Behind these two names might lie some deep-seated memories of her past life, and she wants to know more about them.
