Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Shixu struggled to get up, his expression urgent.

Wu Xingyun, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up and said, "Uncle, are you still half asleep?"

"Don't move, lie down." Seeing his weak state, Wu Zhao couldn't help but say, "There's no need to rush..."

Wu Shiyu was somewhat surprised: "What's going on?"

“I knew it was you who came back, Ancestor…” Tears welled up in Wu Shixu’s eyes, and he looked at Wu Zhao with intense gaze.

"Sigh..." Wu Zhao sighed, "I suppose your family's successor will receive top-secret information left by the previous family head?"

Wu Shixu asked Wu Xingyun to help him up. He nodded and said, "Yes, each generation of Wu clan patriarch and successor is named with the character 'Shi'... which means time."

"The prophecy says that the most outstanding shaman of the Wu family will return to the Wu family one day in the future... but the time is uncertain, and the clansmen are left to wait for it."

He then glanced at Wu Shiyu beside him and continued, "Shiyu is the heir of the Wu family in this generation. After my death, she will continue to guard the secret of your imminent return... until you appear."

"Ancestor, the entire Wu family has been waiting for you for three thousand years."

His voice trembled slightly, and his tone was filled with excitement.

After understanding what his uncle meant, Wu Xingyun's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Wh-what? My great-aunt is really a member of the Wu family?!"

Then he exclaimed with delight, "I knew it! With her surname Wu and her abilities so impressive, she must be related to the Wu family!"

Wu Shiyu could only roll her eyes helplessly at his excitement.

She clenched her fists nervously: "Ancestor... I, I am..."

"I know you are Wu Shiyu." Seeing her helplessness, Wu Zhao smiled faintly.

"You don't need to do that. I just said that you can just call me Grandma like Xingyun does."

Her main purpose in coming today is to resolve the internal problems that are currently arising within the Wu family.

The fact that the nightmare was able to enter the Wu family's territory indicates that there's a problem with the defensive formation that has been holding the Wu family's position.

Or perhaps someone deliberately brought that nightmare in.

Neither of these outcomes was what Wu Zhao wanted to see.

Wu Shiyu also told Wu Shixu, who had just woken up, what had just happened.

He clearly understood Wu Zhao's meaning immediately.

A look of fury rose on his already pale face: "There's a traitor within the Wu family?"

"Where is Wu Liufeng?" Wu Zhao asked, having not seen him since rescuing him from the Nie family.

Wu Shiyu replied, "My elder brother is still recovering from his injuries and should be resting in his room right now."

"However, I haven't seen him for a few days either. His assistant said that he's been acting a bit strange lately and doesn't want anyone to disturb his rest."

Still recovering from injury?

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised and puzzled.

Are his injuries really that serious?

At that time, he was clearly not directly attacked by Nie Wu, but was probably injured by Wu Zhao's Frozen Heaven and Cold Prison.

But after returning and recuperating at the Wu family for so long, how come he hasn't recovered yet?

“Take me to see him.” Wu Zhao frowned, thinking of a certain possibility.

“Okay.” Wu Shiyu nodded and said to Wu Xingyun, who was standing to the side, “You stay here and watch over Uncle. I’ll take the Ancestor to see my elder brother.”

Wu Zhao raised his hand. "Phoenix, you stay here."

Phoenix obediently perched on Wu Xingyun's shoulder. "Don't worry, Master. If there are any more nightmares hiding here, I'll burn them all to ashes with one breath of fire."

Wu Liufeng's villa was not far from Wu Shixu's house.

It is a relatively quiet little building.

After seeing Wu Shiyu arrive, a man who looked like an assistant came out of the courtyard.

Wu Zhao had a vague recollection of this person; he was Wu Liufeng's driver before.

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

Wu Shiyu looked at him and said, "Xiao Yu, I've come to see my older brother. Is he not sleeping?"

"The master is in the study, please come in." Xiao Yu opened the courtyard gate. "And this... is?"

He recognized Wu Zhao, but couldn't place where he had seen him before.

"It's family. They've come to see how my brother's injury is healing."

Xiao Yu nodded, watching her lead Wu Zhao inside.

Wu Liufeng's study was on the first floor.

The study door wasn't closed; perhaps having heard the noise outside, Wu Zhao went in only to find that the man had already come out of the study.

"Big brother, what happened to you?"

Somewhat shocked, Wu Shiyu exclaimed as she looked at the emaciated Wu Liufeng.

Wu Liufeng pressed his temples: "Shiyu, your voice is too loud."

His voice was so weak it was almost inaudible, and his originally magnetic voice now carried a strange, gentle female tone.

It sounded as if two people were talking.

Wu Zhao: ...

What kind of monster is wreaking havoc inside her junior's body?!

Wu Shiyu's eyes widened: ...Haven't seen him for a few days, and her brother has become androgynous?!

"What's wrong?" Wu Liufeng asked, somewhat puzzled, when he saw that neither of them was speaking.

Wu Zhao sighed, "...Don't say anything."

She threw a black talisman at him, and the talisman struck Wu Liufeng with lightning speed.

"puff--"

Before he could react, Wu Liufeng coughed up blood and clutched his chest, exclaiming, "What... what are you doing?!"

"Huh, can't I type it?" Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Bind!"

Golden chains bound Wu Liufeng to the spot.

Wu Zhao leaned closer to observe Wu Liufeng, finding it somewhat amusing: "You've been hiding it quite well. What kind of nightmare are you?"

The ring on her hand emitted a blood-red light, and then Wu Zhao reached out and, under Wu Liufeng's incredulous gaze, reached into his chest!

"Got you?" Wu Zhao chuckled.

A shrill scream came from Wu Liufeng's body.

Wu Shiyu was shaken and almost fell over. "This, this—what terrifying power."

"Come out!" Wu Zhao shouted coldly, pulling a cloud of pink mist from Wu Liufeng's body.

Wu Liufeng's body slumped to the ground as if struck by a heavy blow, his breath weak.

"Big brother!" Wu Shiyu exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran over to stuff a qi-boosting pill into his mouth.

Looking at the thing struggling and stretching in his palm, trying to escape, Wu Zhao's lips twitched: "This... succubi and nightmares can have offspring?"

No wonder Wu Liufeng looked so pale; not only was the nightmare inside him, but the succubus had almost drained him dry.

She glanced at the unconscious Wu Liufeng with a strange expression and couldn't help but mutter, "Who gave him this name..."

Wu Shiyu was a little embarrassed: "Being haunted by nightmares, does that have anything to do with the name?"

Wu Zhao shook his head as he stuffed the pink mist into the ring.

"Liu Feng, Liu Feng... he really is quite the ladies' man..."
