Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Gu Chen seemed lost in some kind of emotion and didn't hear what Wu Zhao was saying.

A chilling aura probed his body relentlessly, while massive black energies lurked menacingly, eager to approach him.

Wu Zhao's expression darkened, and he hugged Gu Chen tightly, whispering, "Phoenix!"

Golden-red flames rose above the yin energy, emitting a hissing sound.

As soon as Phoenix, dressed in a fiery red robe, appeared, he sensed the eerie and surging yin energy.

He exclaimed in shock, "Master, what's going on with this Chosen One of Heaven?!"

"Deal with these Yin energies, I'll handle the rest." Wu Zhao noticed that Gu Chen had lost consciousness, so he lifted him up with a strong grip.

The drifting yin energy dared not approach Wu Zhao, and could only probe from the side.

If it escapes, it might have negative consequences.

"Leave it to me, Master." Phoenix waved his hand, and the golden-red flames accurately attached themselves to the swirling Yin energy, quickly dissolving it.

Wu Zhao placed the unconscious Gu Chen on the bed beside him.

A hint of pain was faintly visible between Gu Chen's tightly closed brows, and his expression showed a degree of struggle.

Strange black lines gradually crept up his cheeks from under his pajamas.

Upon seeing the strange yet familiar black patterns, Wu Zhao's pupils contracted slightly.

Raising his hand, he tore open Gu Chen's clothes, only to see a strange totem emerging on Gu Chen's chest.

"How is this possible... Shouldn't this talisman be on Yue Jinsheng?" Wu Zhao reached out and touched the talisman, and a layer of bloody light flashed instantly.

The cold and sticky feeling made Wu Zhao feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"This...this is a fully formed Reversal of Fate Talisman?!"

Unlike the half-baked talisman on Yue Jinsheng's body, the talisman on Gu Chen's body was complete and full of a certain majestic and terrifying aura.

It seemed as if the very heavens themselves had planted it, radiating a power that even Wu Zhao found difficult to resist...

God himself? !

Wu Zhao looked down at Gu Chen's face, his expression gradually becoming complicated.

Reaching out to touch his forehead, a faint glimmer of expectation appeared in Wu Zhao's eyes.

...Is that you, Junwu?

The person who was asleep did not react.

……

At 1:30 p.m., Mo Dahai knocked on Gu Chen's door.

Gu Chen was still asleep. After temporarily suppressing the Yin energy, Wu Zhao, feeling somewhat exhausted, lay down and fell asleep by the bedside.

Phoenix opened the door, and Mo Dahai was startled to see a stranger appear in Gu Chen's room who looked so strange.

Phoenix, however, said rather nonchalantly, "They're inside. I suggest you don't go in."

"Huh?" Mo Dahai hadn't reacted yet. "I'm here to see Patriarch Gu. Are there any other people here...?"

As he was speaking, Wu Zhao, who had woken up from the noise inside the house, rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Then she heard Phoenix laugh and say, "Yes, my master is inside. The two of them have been there for a long time."

His "oh" was quite meaningful, which made Mo Dahai's thoughts start to wander.

Wu Zhao walked out with a dark face and glared at Phoenix: "What nonsense are you talking about? What happened, Director Mo?"

"Oh, it's a big shot." Mo Dahai laughed and then said, "Well, this afternoon we're going to record the last bit of the wrap-up content, and I came to ask Mr. Gu if there's a time constraint."

Wu Zhao glanced at the time and his forehead twitched. "He's having some health issues and hasn't woken up yet. Let me know when it's time to record. I'm not sure right now."

"Is Mr. Gu alright?" Mo Dahai asked with some concern. "Does he need to go to the hospital?"

Phoenix stood with his arms crossed, finding this human rather interesting.

He said, "Of course the hospital can't cure him. You humans are quite amusing."

The prototype is the only remaining descendant of the Vermilion Bird in the world. Phoenix can sense the emotional fluctuations and the good and evil of humans.

Mo Dahai's emotions fluctuated very clearly; he was worried about Gu Chen's health while also fearing that his program might go wrong.

Two emotions were constantly intertwined within him, which Phoenix found quite amusing.

Mo Dahai didn't understand what he meant, but just smiled and said, "Alright, if Mr. Gu needs it, we'll be ready to cooperate at any time... Also, I'll let you know when it's time to record."

After he left, Wu Zhao gave Phoenix a cold look: "You've been out for so many days, have you gotten cocky?"

Her tone was indifferent, which gave Phoenix, who had been watching the show, a chill.

The human form instantly reverted to a small bird, flapping its wings and fawningly approaching Wu Zhao.

Phoenix carefully perched on Wu Zhao's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I was too presumptuous. I won't do it again, please don't throw me back..."

"This is a one-time exception." Wu Zhao poked the bird's head.

A slight noise came from inside the room.

Wu Zhao was startled and quickly turned to enter the room: "Gu Chen, are you alright...?"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Gu Chen sat up in bed with a frown, having just taken off his pajamas.

The upper body, with its well-defined bones and beautifully muscular lines, was thus exposed.

"Zhao Zhao?" Gu Chen paused in his movement to get out of bed, then asked, "What's wrong with me?"

He had just woken up and felt very uncomfortable, so he decided to take off his clothes and take a shower.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao walked right in.

"Uh...it's good that you're awake. Then get ready, I'll wait for you outside." Wu Zhao blinked and left the room.

Phoenix, perched on her neck, observed Gu Chen through Wu Zhao's hair. After Wu Zhao left the room, Phoenix bounced twice on her shoulder.

"Tsk, this human has a pretty good physique," Phoenix muttered. "I thought human men were all so stoic... that stinky incarnation of the Heavenly Dao back then looked like he'd be blown over with a single breath..."

Wu Zhao took the little bird off her shoulder and held it in her hand. She shook her hand and said, "What are you thinking about all day long, you little bird?"

“He is not like Junwu.”

Phoenix nearly fainted from her swaying. "Where? What's different? Aren't all human men the same?"

Jun Wu is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, the manifestation of its will. Gu Chen is just a human, how can they be the same...?

Before she could say anything, Gu Chen's footsteps came from behind her. "Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Gu Chen, dressed in dress pants and a shirt, walked out with his hair still slightly damp, holding a towel in his hand as he dried his hair.

As Wu Zhao watched him approach, he immediately thought of the deadly talisman on his body.

"Gu Chen, do you know that a talisman has been placed on your body?" Wu Zhao asked, her eyes fixed on his movements.

Gu Chen slightly removed his hand from drying his hair, a hint of confusion appearing in his dark eyes.

"What talisman? Don't I only have the jade pendant you gave me?" Gu Chen lowered his hand, his messy hair making him look exceptionally carefree and unrestrained at this moment.

His expression was one of genuine confusion, and Wu Zhao couldn't detect anything amiss.

“Is that so? Then this is getting a bit tricky…” Wu Zhao lowered his eyelids.

That talisman is quite troublesome.

Even she, three thousand years ago, would probably have found it difficult to solve.

Perhaps sensing that Wu Zhao seemed to be in a bad mood, Gu Chen put down the towel in his hand.

"It's alright, Zhaozhao. You've already helped me a lot by enabling me to stand up. As for the rest... let fate decide."

Wu Zhao raised her head and glared at him, blurting out, "No way!"

"You want me to just watch you die? Absolutely not! It's just a talisman planted by that bastard Heavenly Dao himself, I refuse to believe it!"

She muttered incantations as she rapidly spun the ring on her finger, unaware that Gu Chen's hand, which was reaching for the towel, stiffened slightly.

Gu Chen's eyes, hidden beneath the towel, were dark and filled with pain.

Gu Chen sighed softly.

How could I possibly let you break this spell...
