Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Xingyun was carried off the sacrificial altar by Wu Zhao.

After the yin energy permeated the altar, the camera placed on the altar lost signal.

The audience only had time to see the lightning and thunder, which looked like special effects, before everything went dark.

Mo Dahai wanted the staff to go up and take a look, but Gu Chen stopped him.

His expression was cold, making it impossible for anyone to resist.

Only when Gu Chen saw Wu Zhao carrying the unconscious Wu Xingyun back did a glimmer of light appear in his eyes.

"Miss!"

Lan Yao ran over excitedly, looking at her with concern: "Are you alright? I was so scared, the thunder and lightning were terrifying!"

As she spoke, she took Wu Xingyun from her hands.

Wu Zhao felt a little embarrassed; she hadn't expected that she would lose control of her emotions and almost do something wrong.

He explained somewhat sheepishly, "It's nothing, just a little accident. But this kid was so frightened by the thunder he fainted—"

"But there's no danger, and I'm fine."

She looked up and saw Gu Chen, whose hair was soaked.

His eyes were deep, filled with an emotion that Wu Zhao found hard to resist.

Being stared at like that by Gu Chen made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"You, how did you get yourself into such a mess?" Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Gu Chen's side.

"Didn't I leave Phoenix with you? He... didn't he shield you from the rain?"

Wu Zhao frowned slightly in displeasure, unaware of the slow curve of Gu Chen's lips.

His body swayed slightly, as if he was about to fall.

After instinctively reaching out, she was hit squarely in the face by Gu Chen.

The familiar cool fragrance, accompanied by the dampness of the rain, wafted over, and even the usually lively purple aura felt unusually lingering and sticky.

"Gu Chen?" Wu Zhao shuddered as her neck touched a cold face.

Her waist was gently embraced, and Gu Chen's weak voice came from beside her neck: "Zhao Zhao..."

I feel a little... dizzy.

Wu Zhao, who had originally intended to push him away, suddenly stopped moving: "Dizzy? Did you catch a cold from the cold wind and rain? I already told you you're quite weak right now, how can you do such a thing?"

She had originally wanted to ask Lan Yao for a favor, but found that she had already dragged Wu Xingyun away and disappeared somewhere.

So she turned her head to look at Gu Chen, and the moment she turned her head, Gu Chen also raised his head.

His slightly cold lips pressed against the corner of her mouth.

A slight tremor emanated from the warm breath, adding a touch of allure.

A surge of purple energy flowed in from the point of contact, and a gentle power instantly filled her parched veins.

The noisy, malicious voices around him were also suppressed.

Wu Zhao was a little reluctant to get out of the way.

He looked up and met Gu Chen's eyes.

How can I describe those eyes?

Her tiny eyes, sparkling like stars, reflected a faint smile.

Incredibly gentle.

With a slight exertion of the hand resting on her waist and back, she bumped into Gu Chen's arms.

It was completely enveloped.

Wu Zhao subconsciously opened his mouth to speak, but the next second Gu Chen's breath rushed in.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief as those eyes closed in front of her.

His handsome features were right in front of me.

The slender fingers resting on his straight back slowly tightened, causing the slightly damp clothes to fold in the direction of the fingers.

Pulling the shirt tighter around his back, Wu Zhao closed his eyes.

She seems to genuinely harbor some rebellious thoughts towards the Son of Heaven.

A pleasant laugh seemed to emanate from the chest pressed against her, and the slight vibrations made Wu Zhao's cheeks and neck turn bright red.

……

Standing at the window, Ye Linyan watched as Gu Chen pulled Wu Zhao into his arms.

His hands, which were behind his back, were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

His chest was filled with destructive and greedy desires.

A faint, dark golden light flickered in his eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao, who was behind him, stared at his back and quietly walked up behind him.

"Mr. Ye... I still want to discuss the script..."

She tentatively reached out her hand, as if wanting to touch him.

Suddenly, a dark green snake emerged from his sleeve and bit her hard on the tiger's mouth.

"what!!!"

Shen Jiaojiao screamed, the intense pain causing her to fall to the ground.

The two bloody holes at the bite site looked like they had been bitten through.

Even more terrifying, the area around the wound immediately turned black.

That was a highly venomous snake!

"It's over, it's over! Quick, call an ambulance!" Mo Dahai shouted.

Ye Linyan coldly looked at her pale face: "Miss Shen, didn't your family tell you not to get close to a stranger's back?"

"I, I didn't..." Shen Jiaojiao was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and her face began to turn black.

She lay slumped on the ground when Xie Buji, who had changed his clothes, ran over and pulled her into his arms.

"Jiaojiao! Oh my god, quickly tie her wrists!" Wu Nini ran over, tore off Xie Buji's tie, and began to provide first aid.

"Mr. Ye, what kind of snake is that? Is it neurotoxic?!"

Ye Linyan stroked the snake's head. "I don't know, it doesn't have a name."

have no idea?!

Wu Nini almost screamed, "You dare to keep a venomous snake whose name you don't even know? What if it bites someone and kills them!"

"It didn't bite me." Ye Linyan's expression remained indifferent. "She came closer on her own, what does it have to do with me?"

Before Wu Nini could speak, Gu Chen's voice rang out from outside: "Lan Yao, call an ambulance."

"Notify Jin Yao to come here!"

Gu Chen walked in, carrying Wu Zhao in his arms.

The person in his arms was so quiet that it seemed as if there was no sound.

Ye Linyan was startled.

"What's wrong, Miss!" Lan Yao ran over. "She was fine just now..."

Gu Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over Shen Jiaojiao, and then he said, "She might have been affected by the sacrificial altar. We'll know once she goes to the hospital for a checkup."

"I'll make the call right away," Lan Yao said decisively.

Wu Nini said in a trembling, tearful voice, "Jiaojiao is dying, she's almost not breathing!"

Looking at Gu Chen, who was holding Wu Zhaozhen tightly, Ye Linyan felt complicated.

He then took out a quaint little bottle from his pocket.

"Give it to her." Ye Linyan said, tossing the bottle into Shen Jiaojiao's arms. "You won't be so lucky next time."

He stared at Gu Chen's retreating figure and tucked the small snake back into his sleeve.

Xie Buji quickly poured out a pill filled with the aroma of medicine from the bottle.

He tried his best to feed it into Shen Jiaojiao's tightly closed mouth.

Fortunately, the pill melted in the mouth.

Shen Jiaojiao's complexion improved rapidly.

About ten minutes later, her breathing became steady.

At that moment, the ambulance arrived.

Shen Jiaojiao was quickly put into an ambulance. As the ambulance door closed, Wu Nini, who was beside her, glanced at Gu Chen.

Wu Zhao's hand slipped out of his arms unintentionally.

Two clear, visible blood holes were found on the web of the wrist.

Wu Nini stared in shock.

Why did Wu Zhao also have bite marks on his hands?

Could it be that she was bitten by a snake outside?

The ambulance doors closed, blocking Wu Nini's confusion.

When she looked through the window, she only met Gu Chen's cold eyes.

silence.

With an unspeakable...

Killing intent.

Wu Nini shuddered as she glimpsed some kind of secret.

"Yes, that's terrifying..."
