Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Sell...sell corpses? Is that even allowed?" Wu Xingyun stared in astonishment. "Where do they get the corpses from?"

Wu Zhao looked at him and snorted coldly: "Haven't you seen him before, you sorcerer?"

"With those Gu worms, making a corpse move like a normal person would be a piece of cake."

A witch doctor? Wu Xingyun still felt a throbbing pain in the back of his head.

He gave an awkward laugh: "Well, will something go wrong at the auction...?"

“We’ll only buy that piece of jade, and try not to get into any conflicts with them.” Wu Zhao walked up to Gu Chen and helped him with his wheelchair. “It’s too late today, let’s rest.”

Then she glanced at Wu Xingyun and said, "Be smart, don't let others scheme against you again!"

"Uh...yes!" Wu Xingyun quickly replied.

After pushing Gu Chen upstairs and leaving Wu Xingyun out of sight, Gu Chen said in a low voice, "You seem to care a lot about him."

"Huh?" Wu Zhao, who was deep in thought, didn't react for a moment before saying, "We can't let something really happen to him here."

After all, it's still our own child; we can still keep it after washing it...

Gu Chen seemed a little downcast for some reason, and even the purple aura seemed to droop slightly on Wu Zhao's hand.

“I really envy him…” His voice was very low, and Wu Zhao almost didn’t hear what he said.

Uh……

She paused for a moment, then said, "Huo Tingchen cares about you a lot too!"

"See, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have met me, right? At least he's reliable!"

"His abilities are far superior to Wu Xingyun's!"

There really is no harm in comparison.

Wu Zhao comforted him, then parked the wheelchair at the door and raised his hand to open the door for him.

She didn't notice that Gu Chen's aura grew even colder when she praised Huo Tingchen.

I don't know if she bumped into something or if the wheelchair didn't stop properly, but in any case, she wasn't paying attention and the wheelchair tipped backward!

"Watch out!" Wu Zhao exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to grab the armrest of the wheelchair.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen suddenly moved, and instead of touching the wheelchair, her hand grabbed his arm.

Whether it was because she was a bit too strong or not, Gu Chen, a grown man, actually fell straight down from his wheelchair towards her due to her force.

"Hey--"

Wu Zhao was hit squarely.

Gu Chen's hard chest bumped against her, making her head spin. Wu Zhao raised her head and tried to push him away.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen suddenly lowered his head: "You're alright..."

Something warm and soft brushed against Wu Zhao's lips.

The fleeting feeling was accompanied by a slightly damp breath.

"Home, Master!"

Hearing the noise, Qingyao ran up and saw the two figures piled on top of each other and the wheelchair lying on the ground.

He rushed over in a panic, helped up the wheelchair, and then pulled his family head to his feet.

"Miss Wu, are you alright?"

Qingyao became somewhat nervous when he noticed that Wu Zhao hadn't gotten up for a while.

Could it be that the head of the family has damaged the person? He wondered.

Qingyao's voice startled Wu Zhao, who was in a daze, and she stood up abruptly.

"No, I'm fine! I'm going back to my room now!" Wu Zhao said hurriedly, leaving almost simultaneously.

Qingyao was completely bewildered: "What's going on?"

Gu Chen sat in his wheelchair, his slender fingers gently brushing across the corner of his lips.

He slowly curled the corners of his lips into a silent smile.

On the other side, Wu Zhao closed the door, somewhat shocked and incredulous, that his body's riddled meridians had actually been partially repaired!

The moment the two made contact, a surge of purple energy flowed into her body.

Although it was brief, it repaired her body very quickly.

If the purple energy she had previously obtained from Gu Chen was enough to restore the spiritual power of a fingernail, then the accident just now restored the power of a whole finger!

But this way of quickly regaining strength is... too bizarre!

Wu Zhao scratched her head. She really didn't want to go from being a lecherous woman to a perverted kissing maniac!

The shaman collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly devastated!

……

The island remained calm from the end of the first day's ball until the day of the auction.

The time before the auction can be used freely for leisure and entertainment on the island.

Wu Xingyun and the guards who came with the Gu family did not run around after Wu Zhao reminded them.

Because Lin Lele's emotions were very unstable, Gu Chen asked Hong Yao to keep a close eye on her.

Fortunately, it did not arouse the suspicion or attention of the Earl of the Night.

The little paper figure that had gone out to investigate earlier also returned before the auction.

However, one of the paper figures seemed to have been attacked, turning into ashes after a brief contact with Wu Zhao.

"What does this mean?" Qingyao suddenly became a little nervous.

There was another small paper figure lying next to Gu Chen. He poked it and said, "Why do you both look so listless?"

Wu Zhao's gaze lingered on Gu Chen's lips for a moment, seemingly oblivious to what they were saying.

Wu Xingyun then said, "It's possible that they were discovered and ran out of strength while escaping."

“There’s a lingering trace of yin energy…” Wu Zhao saw the black energy on his fingertips.

After receiving the message brought back by the little paper doll, she said, "Lin Lele's father has passed away."

"He...died in great agony."

The little paper figure still carried a trace of residual energy, and even from just a trace, Wu Zhao felt a terrifying pain.

Some blurry images appeared before her eyes.

The brutal torture and excruciating interrogation left the man, who faced death with unwavering resolve, laughing as he was finally slit in the process.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the murderous intent surging within her.

Gu Chen immediately noticed her emotional fluctuations. "He won't just sacrifice himself in vain."

"I've already had Qingyao contact the Gu family. Once they get permission from the military, they'll land on the island immediately."

"How could that be? Wasn't it said that Earl of the Night would auction off corpses?" Wu Xingyun asked.

Wu Zhao sighed, "Do you think someone like him would dare to sell off military and police personnel so easily?"

"Don't tell Lin Lele about this for now." Gu Chen's eyes darkened.

He checked the time and then said, "The auction is tonight. Hongyao will stay here with Lin Lele."

"Qingyao stays with us, the rest of you disperse to the perimeter. Send a message immediately if anything happens."

Wu Zhao looked at Wu Xingyun: "You come with me."

"Okay, okay." Wu Xingyun nodded in response.

After everything was arranged, we prepared to depart for the auction.

However, just before they left, they received a number plate from Earl of the Night.

Box No. 01.

The delivery person said that only the guests in the private room could bid on the most expensive items.

Fiddled with the small sign, Wu Zhao said sarcastically, "This person is really good at business, and also good at stirring up hatred in others."

"Let's go."

The group quickly left the villa.

When Hongyao came out of the house, she saw that the people downstairs had already left and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When Lin Lele came back after getting some fresh air, she looked a little off, and I was worried that she had overheard something.

Fortunately, they all left.

Hongyao, carrying a water glass, was about to return to her room when she discovered that Lin Lele was no longer inside.

There was only an open window and a bed sheet twisted into a rope hanging down to the first floor.

Hongyao laughed angrily: "Very good, you are really too interesting!"

"They're actually using a feint attack on me!"

As Wu Zhao was on his way to the auction house in the shuttle bus, he suddenly heard Qing Yao exclaim in a low voice, "Something's wrong, Patriarch! Something's happened!"

"Hongyao just sent a message saying that Lin Lele has run away!"
