Rural Romantic Life

Sensing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces when he suddenly produced a green worm, the old shaman casually explained, "This is one of the ancient medical techniques of our shamanic tribe. We use this Green Jade Worm to burrow into the patient's body and directly devour the source of all the illnesses, thus eliminating the symptoms and restoring the patient to health!"

Everyone present was deeply moved upon hearing this.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a miraculous way to cure diseases, where a tiny insect could devour the lesions and eliminate the symptoms.

It's truly unbelievable.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, the old witch doctor's wrinkled face couldn't help but wrinkle even more, and a hint of mockery flashed deep in his eyes.

However, apart from Lu Yang, no one else present noticed these subtle expressions and demeanor.

During this process, Lu Yang also noticed that Wang Haotian, who was standing not far from the old witch doctor, also had a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Chu Yu believed him and hurriedly and solemnly invited, "Master Witch Doctor, please act immediately and let this Jade Wood Insect cure my father's illness!"

Upon hearing this, the old witch doctor nodded slightly, looking like a wise man. He then flicked his withered finger, and the jade worm in the stone box quickly crawled out and burrowed into the nostrils of the old master of the Chu family on the bed.

After seeing the Green Wood Jade Insect disappear and enter the body of the Chu family patriarch, everyone present began to wait silently.

The old witch doctor, however, did not stop, but continued to mutter obscure words that sounded like incantations.

Time passed slowly, about half an hour later, when the old witch doctor finally stopped chanting, opened his eyes, and softly said, "Come out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gaze to the area around the old master Chu's nostrils. Soon after, the jade worm that had just crawled inside emerged listlessly.

Upon seeing this, the old shaman's face showed heartache. He quickly put the Azure Wood Jade Insect back into the stone box before saying to Chu Yu, "Patriarch Chu, your father's illness has been cured by my Azure Wood Jade Insect. Your father will wake up soon!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu was overjoyed and expressed her gratitude once again, saying, "Master Witch Doctor, thank you so much! As long as my father regains consciousness, our Chu family will definitely repay you properly!"

The old witch doctor nodded calmly: "Of course, of course!"

Chu Yu also thanked Wang Haotian, Chu Yuyao's fiancé, saying, "Haotian, we are truly grateful to you for inviting this shaman from such a distant place as Miao Jiang. He cured my father's illness. As long as my father recovers, you can make any requests you have to the Chu family, and we will fulfill them!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haotian's expression suddenly lit up with surprise. He quickly bowed respectfully to Chu Yu and said, "Uncle Chu, it is my duty as the future son-in-law of the Chu family to come and treat the old man's illness. I have no conditions. My only condition is that I want to marry Yu Yao six months earlier than planned. Is that alright?"

Chu Yu was also taken aback by this.

However, since his beloved daughter Chu Yuyao was already engaged to Wang Haotian, he felt there was nothing wrong with the latter wanting to get married six months earlier.

He couldn't help but reveal a kind smile and said, "Since Haotian, you're so anxious, then considering your great contribution this time, I'll agree to let you and Yuyao get married ahead of schedule in front of the head of the household!"

"How about we set the wedding date for three days from now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haotian's expression was filled with unprecedented joy, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Chu. I also assure you in front of my husband that I will take good care of Yuyao in the future and will not allow her to suffer even the slightest harm..."

However?

Before Wang Haotian could finish speaking, Chu Yuyao finally couldn't help but say, "Wang Haotian, I don't agree to marry you ahead of time. Besides, I've never intended to marry you from the beginning. I think you should just give up on that idea!"

"Also, I already have someone I like, and I'm now their girlfriend!"

Whoosh!

Chu Yuyao's words were like a thunderbolt, like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly shocking and surprising everyone present.

They couldn't believe that Chu Yuyao would suddenly say such things in front of Wang Haotian. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass Wang Haotian?

This is also a slap in the face to the entire Wang family, and the Wang family and Wang Haotian will certainly not let it go.

At this time, the Chu family was going through a turbulent period and needed Chu Yuyao to marry Wang Haotian, thus binding themselves to the Wang family, injecting new vitality into the Chu family, and allowing the Chu family to return to its peak.

Instantly, a member of the Chu family spoke up: "Yu Yao, what nonsense are you spouting? Your engagement with Young Master Haotian was already arranged; this is merely an early wedding. How can you refuse!"

"Yes, that's right, so don't throw any more tantrums!"

"Young Master Haotian loves you so much that he went to great lengths to bring this shaman from Miao territory to cure your grandfather's illness with ice therapy. Your grandfather loves you so much, yet you're going to reject Young Master Haotian's marriage proposal in front of everyone. Isn't that letting your grandfather down?"

"Yuyao, quickly apologize to Young Master Haotian, and stop acting like a spoiled child!"

"..."

The other members of the Chu family also repeatedly advised Chu Yuyao not to lose sight of the bigger picture by offending the Wang family at this critical juncture. Without the Wang family's support, the Chu family might not even be able to maintain their position among the eight great families of the ancient city.

This will be a huge blow to the entire Chu family. Because they have angered the entire Wang family, the Chu family will likely also suffer the Wang family's wrath, making the Chu family's current crisis even worse.

They didn't want to stand by and watch Chu Yuyao's actions bring disaster upon the entire Chu family, and themselves as well.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu, though somewhat expecting it, still found it hard to believe that his precious daughter would suddenly reveal to Wang Haotian that she had a boyfriend. He immediately scolded, "Yu Yao, what nonsense are you talking about? You should clarify this with Haotian right now, so he doesn't misunderstand!"

Everyone else's eyes were also fixed on Chu Yuyao, wanting to see how she would properly clarify for Wang Haotian that she did not have a boyfriend.

Wang Haotian's gaze also held a hint of amusement as he looked at Chu Yuyao's exquisite face, wanting to see how she would explain things to him.

He was also eager to see if Lu Yang, this seemingly unsophisticated young man, was indeed Chu Yuyao's boyfriend, as he had guessed!
