Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

After learning that Gu Chen had woken up, Mo Dahai quickly arranged for the recording to begin.

The group returned to the film studio.

When Wu Zhao saw Shen Jiaojiao, he clearly sensed a strange aura emanating from her, carrying a strong sense of malice.

That's probably the aura of the cloaked man Xie Buji was talking about.

Shen Jiaojiao's expression became slightly unnatural upon seeing her, but she quickly composed herself and smiled at Wu Zhao.

"Sister, you are here."

Wu Zhao was too lazy to correct her way of addressing her; she simply pretended not to see Shen Jiaojiao.

They walked over and sat down together.

Wu Xingyun arrived early and couldn't help but lean over to Wu Zhao after seeing him, saying, "Grandma, why did you stay with him for so long? Those two guys practically dragged me out!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Lan Yao and Qing Yao, who were standing behind the design team, and accused them, "They went too far, they even covered my mouth!"

Lan Yao and the other person smiled at them without saying anything.

Wu Zhao ruffled Wu Xingyun's hair knowingly, "Alright, alright, I was just going to check on Gu Chen, don't be angry."

Wu Xingyun, whose fur had been soothed, gave a soft hum and sat up obediently.

Gu Chen, sitting next to Wu Zhao, raised an eyebrow.

Once everyone had arrived, Mo Dahai clapped his hands and said, "Alright everyone, although there were a few minor mishaps during our live broadcast recording, overall it was still a great success!"

"We're leaving here today, and we're going to do one last bit of recording."

He pointed to the magnificent city walls and buildings behind him and said, "As you all know, we came here to record this time at the invitation of the investors. Their condition for allowing us to do a live broadcast is that we highlight the characteristics of this film and television city in the broadcast."

"So all we have to do this afternoon is give our viewers a good look around this film studio!"

Hearing what he said, Wu Xingyun said somewhat boredly, "Ah, that's too boring, director..."

Mo Dahai chuckled, "Of course I know it's boring, so the highlight this afternoon is—"

"Switch partners!"

Here we go again?! Wu Xingyun frowned. "Is this just rehashing old ideas, Director Mo?"

"There's nothing I can do, everyone please have some understanding of this poor little director..." Mo Dahai even made a gesture of wiping away tears, "Please bear with me, everyone!"

Wu Zhao didn't think it was anything special; it was just an afternoon.

So when Mo Dahai brought the box up, he first took out one of the cards.

It's the 1th.

Gu Chen then took one out of there as well; the piece of paper had the number 3 on it.

Upon seeing that the numbers were different from Wu Zhao's, he couldn't help but say, "Director Mo, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"Of course not, we're being fair and impartial!" Mo Dahai waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he wouldn't take the blame.

Wu Xingyun's eyes darted around, and he pulled out a bill from inside with a grin.

The number 2.

Unexpectedly, the fact that the three people had three different numbers made Yu Chen on the other side laugh out loud. He said, "Looks like the three of you aren't teaming up with anyone else."

He looked at Director Mo with some anticipation: "Do I have a chance to team up with Wu Zhao?"

"Don't even think about it." Wu Xingyun snorted, watching him unfold the card with the number 2 written on it.

His face darkened, and he complained, "I never expected to be teamed up with you. Please give me your guidance, Your Highness!"

Yu Chen's lips twitched. "You're too kind. Just call me by my name."

Immediately afterwards, Qi An and his wife Shao Hanmei also drew numbers. Qi An looked at his number with some surprise: "I actually got 4. How could I possibly be the only one left out?"

He glanced at his wife's number again and said, "Mr. Gu, could you please keep an eye on my wife for a while?"

Gu Chen nodded, not refusing.

Only Shen Jiaojiao remained. She stood up and smiled, "I didn't expect to be the last one. It would be such an honor to be able to team up with Teacher Qi."

She looked at Qi An with a smile as she spoke.

"Let it be, let it be, haha." Qi An said casually, but his expression was somewhat troubled.

Wu Zhao's gaze sharpened, and he stared at Shen Jiaojiao's back with some suspicion.

Why did she suddenly want to team up with Qi An?

Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I'll make sure you don't get your way!

Shen Jiaojiao took out a piece of paper from the box, unfolded it, and apologized to Wu Zhao, saying, "I'm sorry, sister, this afternoon you can only—"

She could wait until she finished speaking, but when she saw the number 1 on the piece of paper, Shen Jiaojiao was completely devastated.

How could it be the number 1!

She had clearly told her to team up with Qi An!

Seeing that she was standing there with a stiff expression, Wu Zhao walked over and took the card from her hand.

He smiled knowingly and said, "Oh, then please give me your guidance, my dear sister."

……

When the live stream started and viewers saw the team, a bunch of ellipses appeared in the chat.

[...] [...]

【Mo Dahai, what are you doing?!】

Is this what I should be seeing?! Is this the kind of show you should be making?! I want to see everyday romance, not your idiotic antics!

Angry netizens flooded the show's official Weibo account.

Mo Dahai was both happy and distressed about the show's popularity, sweating profusely.

Gu Chen watched as Wu Zhao and the uncomfortable Shen Jiaojiao left with the cameraman, and Shao Hanmei, who was standing to the side, followed his gaze.

“If you’re worried, we can follow behind them,” she suggested.

"No need, Teacher Shao, let's go." Holding the map given to him by Mo Dahai, Gu Chen shook his head.

Shao Hanmei didn't press the matter, only saying, "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be such a sentimental person."

This was completely different from the information she usually received.

“…She’s just different.” Gu Chen said softly, and went in the opposite direction from Wu Zhao.

Wu Xingyun and Yu Chen walked away bickering and pulling at the map, which attracted a lot of viewers to the live stream.

Qi An, who was left behind, happily found a chair and sat down next to Mo Dahai: "Looks like I'll be pretty free this afternoon. Let's keep the director company and watch something!"

On the other side, Shen Jiaojiao, who had already entered a filming area, walked beside Wu Zhao with a troubled expression.

She was muttering something under her breath, and her aura was constantly influencing Wu Zhao.

The curse within her body throbbed faintly, which made her glance at Shen Jiaojiao a few more times.

"What's wrong, sister?" Shen Jiaojiao offered a faint smile. "Do you need me to introduce this park?"

Wu Zhao approached Shen Jiaojiao, reaching out as if to put his arm around her shoulder but actually gripping her tightly.

"Shen Jiaojiao, what exactly... did you exchange with those sorcerers?"

"You don't actually think that by staying by my side and silently activating that curse, you can kill me, do you?"

Just as she was about to break free, Shen Jiaojiao's face showed fear, and something flashed quickly in her eyes.

Then she seemed to collapse in great pain, saying, "...Sister, I, I'm in so much pain!"

Wu Zhao released her hand and watched her fall to the ground.

She lowered her head and opened her palm; a dark totem appeared on the palm that had just touched Shen Jiaojiao's.

The skeleton had its mouth open, holding a piece of dead wood that had been broken in half.

A sigh, seemingly coming from nowhere, drifted into my ears, distant and filled with weariness.

Staring blankly at his palm, Wu Zhao opened his mouth.

"The mark of an evil sorcerer..."
