Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

While waiting for news from both Helan Jue and Ye Linyan, Wu Zhao never expected that the information they provided would overlap.

As the date on the card Ye Linyan gave him drew closer, Wu Zhao also received a message from He Lanjue.

He sent Wu Zhao a photo of the same card, along with a note that his wife would be attending the auction.

Of course, all of this was done behind his back.

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised when he saw the message sent by Helan Jue.

It seems his wife also has quite a secret.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen, who came out of the study, saw Wu Zhao sitting on the living room sofa. "Did He Lan Jue send this?"

He went downstairs and saw the photos on Wu Zhao's phone, and continued, "What a coincidence."

"It's quite a coincidence, almost like it was planned..." Wu Zhao chuckled. "Are these people testing my patience? Do I look like a fool?"

Isn't her title as the Divine Shaman well-known enough? These people didn't even use their brains when they set this up?

Seeing her somewhat speechless as she tossed her phone aside, Gu Chen picked up a fruit plate from the coffee table and handed it to her.

"Perhaps they're too confident, so isn't this a good way to lull them into a false sense of security?" Gu Chen said.

Wu Zhao rolled his eyes. "These rats in the gutter are really annoying..."

"How's your old man doing?" Wu Zhao glanced at Gu Chen, who was carrying a fruit platter. "He's not still hiding in the nursing home, is he?"

Gu Chen's hand holding the plate trembled slightly, and then he said with a hint of helplessness, "Yes, after you refused to see him before, he started to sulk and refused to see me either. Since I came back, I haven't been able to see him either."

"But Gu Yang and the others didn't see the old man either. Did Uncle Ni tell them when he came back?"

When she came back that day in a bad mood, Uncle Ni had gone to the nursing home to visit the old man.

He thought Uncle Ni would tell her when he got back, but it seems he hasn't had a chance yet.

"Oh, I did say that, but I only said that your old man has a terrible temper, but now he's eating and sleeping well in the sanatorium, he's doing incredibly well." Wu Zhao was somewhat speechless.

Before she saw him, she really had no idea what the old man was up to.

"He'll be fine once he calms down. I just need to know he's alright," Gu Chen said. "But do you need me to go to this auction with you?"

“No need.” Wu Zhao refused, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “Since someone has already offered themselves up, why can’t I go with the flow?”

Gu Chen looked slightly disappointed, but still nodded and said, "Then be careful. If there's anything you can't handle, contact me. Or you can have Lan Yao contact me; Lan Yao will still be by your side."

The purple aura emanating from him lingered on her face and the corners of her mouth, making his intentions quite clear.

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Of course, you have other uses too—"

Before Gu Chen could react, she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed his tie, and pulled him in front of her.

Caught off guard, Gu Chen dropped the fruit plate from his hand, scattering the freshly washed cherries onto the carpet.

After a moment of stiffness in mid-air, his slender fingers wrapped around Wu Zhao's waist in a possessive gesture.

He tasted the sweetness of cherries on her lips.

……

Two days later. The Gu family's villa.

Seeing Ye Linyan's smug smile, Gu Chen's eyes darkened as he stood on the second-floor terrace.

Then Wu Zhao's back came into his sight.

Upon seeing her come out, Ye Linyan immediately suppressed his smile.

He opened the car door beside him and said to Wu Zhao, "It is my honor to be your companion. Miss Wu, please."

Today, Wu Zhao was wearing a fitted cheongsam, and her hair was tied up by Lan Yao.

She looked elegant and demure.

"Your smile is ugly, you'd better not smile." Wu Zhao just glanced at him indifferently, resisting the urge to punch him in the face.

Dog Heavenly Dao, why did you create someone who looks exactly like yourself?

Could it be that he came here specifically to annoy her?

Lan Yao stood by the door and squeezed past Ye Linyan. "Miss, please get in the car."

Ye Linyan was forced to take two steps back, his face twitching. He looked up at Gu Chen and said, "Then we'll take our leave, Mr. Gu."

He emphasized the word "we" as if he were showing off something.

To his surprise, Gu Chen completely ignored him.

Watching Wu Zhao get into the car, Gu Chen said, "Zhao Zhao, come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home."

Wu Zhao raised his hand from the car and waved, "I know, I'll be back soon."

After Lan Yao closed the car door, she got into the passenger seat.

He said to Ye Linyan, who was standing outside, "Mr. Ye, aren't you getting in the car? We'll miss it."

Ye Linyan gritted his teeth and realized that Gu Chen had already left and gone into his room.

He snorted coldly, walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got in.

Two bodyguard vehicles quickly followed their car and left.

Inside the house, Gu Chen listened to the distant sound of car engines, seemingly fiddling with something in his hand.

“Po Jun,” he suddenly said.

A dark figure appeared before him, kneeling on one knee: "Your subordinate is here."

“…Follow them, and try not to let her find out.” Gu Chen paused for a moment after saying that. “Never mind, just stay far away outside.”

Po Jun raised his head: "Your subordinate will hide well and not be discovered."

“She has now recovered most of her power and can summon things from the Yellow Springs Gate at any time... It’s unlikely you can avoid being discovered.” Gu Chen subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, the sweet taste of cherries still lingering in his mouth.

The person kneeling on the ground raised his head in surprise. Po Jun said, "Under the laws, a divine sorcerer should not be allowed to possess such great power. My lord is..."

Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at him casually, which immediately made him gasp for breath and dare not speak anymore.

"I gave it to you, is that not acceptable?"

Po Jun immediately lowered his head: "This subordinate dares not, Master, rest assured, this subordinate will go and guard it right away."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the room.

Soon, Gu Chen was the only one left in the room. He murmured, "So quiet..."

You've only been gone for a short while, and I already miss you.

Sure enough... once desire takes hold, it never stops...

He slowly closed his eyes.

……

Wu Zhao, who was sitting in the car, kept his eyes closed and refused to communicate after getting in.

Ye Linyan, who was sitting next to her, gave a wry smile.

The little snake hidden in his hair quietly crawled out and then slid down the back seat of the car to Wu Zhao's shoulder.

Feeling a slight weight on his shoulder, Wu Zhao raised his hand and swiftly grabbed the snake by its vital spot, pulling it up.

"What are you doing, you little brat? What, you think you can just climb up here because it's your car?" Wu Zhao shook his hand, looking at the snake writhing in mid-air. "If you don't behave, I'll stew you and make snake soup!"

She shook it quite hard, and the little snake looked very uncomfortable, sticking its tongue out.

He looks like he's about to die.

Wu Zhao, holding the snake, moved a little closer: "It can't be that fragile, can it?"

Ye Linyan sighed, "Miss Wu, do you have some misunderstanding about your own power?"

The dark green snake costume was surprisingly fair, like white jade.

Wu Zhao got closer and noticed something was wrong; there seemed to be some kind of protrusion on the snake's cloak.

Upon seeing it clearly, Wu Zhao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This is not a snake at all.

"One, two, three... four?" Wu Zhao squinted. "Snakes... can grow legs?"
