Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"My lord, those two are quite prominent figures in the mortal world. What if they suddenly disappear...?"

Nar pressed himself against his lord's legs, trying to hide himself under Wu Zhao's clothes.

A black robe lay spread out on the ground, and darkness, representing the power of the demon god, spread beneath Thanatos's feet.

He was terrified of Danadus; even a single glance at him made him feel like he was about to explode.

Danadus naturally noticed Nar's little tricks, but he simply ignored them.

Lower-ranking demons have a natural awe for higher-ranking demons, not to mention that Thanatos, as the third pillar demon, wields the power of death and can annihilate other demons at any time.

"It's alright, let them be missing persons. After all, this is a matter for my Wu family, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Wu Zhao's face was cold, and his tone was indifferent.

If it weren't for the potential trouble it might cause Gu Chen, Wu Zhao would never have intended to use such methods to take Wu Ling and his son away.

She could have dealt with the two of them on the spot at the Wu family's house that day.

"Danasus, go back to the Wu family and tell them about this."

“I can protect the Wu family, but on the condition that… there must be no traitors in the Wu family.”

As Wu Zhao finished speaking, Danadus's figure slowly disappeared.

Nar breathed a small sigh of relief after he left.

"My lord, Lord Thanatos's aura has grown stronger. Is it really alright that he's always in the mortal realm? I feel like he's already influencing..."

Nar looked at Wu Zhao hesitantly, and said something uncertainly.

Wu Zhao remained silent for a while before raising his hand to touch Nar's hair.

"I'm tired."

The hand above his head was a little cold, and Nar trembled slightly.

"My lord, you should rest early. I will stay here with you."

He cleverly changed the subject, waiting for Wu Zhao to finish washing up and lie in bed.

A fluffy, warm little thing snuggled into Wu Zhao's arms, rubbed against her neck, and then stayed still.

Good night, my lord.

Wu Zhao chuckled twice as he touched the scarf wrapped around his neck.

Goodnight, Nar.

Soon, only the sound of steady breathing remained in the room.

In the study, separated by a wall, Gu Chen sighed.

"...Goodnight, Zhaozhao."

He stood up, walked to the window, and closed it. His calm gaze swept across the dark night sky outside, where a silver bolt of lightning stood out starkly against the darkness.

"leave."

The thunder outside the window seemed somewhat aggrieved, flashing a few times before disappearing.

Gu Chen closed the window and casually drew the curtains.

Sweet dreams, Zhao Zhao.

……

In the dark space, a sinister wind blew in gusts, bringing with it painful wails and cries.

The massive, ancient door is engraved with intricate and ornate totems.

A jet-black skull, exuding an aura of majesty, was nailed to the door.

Countless dark pillars appeared and disappeared in the darkness behind the door.

Near the door, the faint sound of desperate pounding could still be heard.

"Is anyone...help me...?"

"Help! Someone, save us... What kind of place is this? Someone, please help us!"

The faint cries for help were drowned out by the wailing.

A sarcastic laugh suddenly rang out.

"A very faint trace of the Wu family bloodline... Could these two be descendants of our lord?"

"Our lord's offspring? How could that be? Our lord did not have a child with a filthy man."

A charming and melodious female voice carried a hint of disdain, followed by a faint, fragrant breeze.

A glamorous and beautiful woman suddenly appeared.

A faint light appeared in the darkness.

The blood-red skirt was adorned with black mandala paintings, giving it a graceful, swaying appearance.

"Who are you?!"

The presence of such a beautiful woman in such a bizarre place creates a chilling feeling.

Wu Ling swallowed hard and looked away with difficulty.

Beside him, the young Wu Yuanhan already looked somewhat dazed and infatuated.

"Tsk tsk, it seems Amina was right, she really isn't a descendant of our Lord. She was so easily bewitched, but she doesn't seem like it at all..."

"Our lord sent Lord Danadus to throw people over here. Does that mean he's just letting us play with them?"

The repeated unfamiliar voices, along with the malicious teasing, made Wu Ling increasingly terrified.

"Where is this? It's illegal to arbitrarily detain someone!"

"You, you'd better release us right now!"

His attempt to remain calm was indeed somewhat amusing.

"You don't even know where this is, yet you dare to ask us to let you go?"

Amina smiled knowingly, her bright red nail polish slowly tracing across Wu Ling's sweat-drenched face.

"How pathetic, once you're in here, don't even think about leaving."

Without Wu Zhao's summons, none of the demons here could leave.

Not to mention the two humans who were thrown in.

"To throw one's own descendants, who bear one's blood, into the gates of the underworld, my lord is truly... quite amusing."

A flash of bloodlust crossed Amina's eyes.

People of the Wu family with Wu family blood...

That's really a fun toy.

……

The next morning.

Wu Zhao yawned and sat up. The sounds of Wu Xingyun and Xiao Xuan playing around could be faintly heard from outside the window.

"How come these two have so much energy every day?"

Pressing his brow, Wu Zhao pondered with some distress.

Nar was sleeping sprawled out beside her, his hairy belly sticking out.

Wu Zhao poked his undulating belly and smiled knowingly.

"Miss, are you up?"

Lan Yao knocked on the door and asked.

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and quickly got up to tidy herself up.

Lan Yao, who was outside the door, waited outside after hearing the noise inside. She looked up when she saw Wu Zhao open the door.

“Miss, regarding the Shen family matters you inquired about earlier, the patriarch asked me to investigate.”

She was holding a steaming cup of milk, which she handed directly to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao grunted in response.

"What's the Shen family up to lately?"

As she spoke, the two of them walked downstairs together.

"The Shen family and the Yan family are collaborating to develop a plot of land and build a health and wellness club. This club is likely intended specifically for military personnel. The Feng family member has been actively supporting the Shen family, so they have a lot of ideas."

"I heard the government has already approved that land. The Shen and Yan families can't handle such a big project, so they're preparing to publicly solicit bids."

Lan Yao spoke with a slightly strange expression.

"The Shen family has extended invitations to both the Ye and Gu families. I wonder if they have exceptional confidence in this project."

"However, the patriarch has already rejected it. He had seen the proposal but did not know it was submitted by the Shen family. He glanced at it and felt it was not competitive, so he rejected it."

The Shen family is quite interesting.

"It seems that Feng Bo Xue's identity is really useful, otherwise why would the Witch Saint Cult be targeting him so relentlessly?"

After drinking the hot milk, Wu Zhao felt less hungry.

Just then, Wu Xingyun and Xiao Xuan returned from their morning exercise and saw Wu Zhao.

"Grandpa, today I'm taking Xiao Xuan to see his new school."

"Want to come along?"

Wu Zhao glanced at Wu Xingyun's face and inexplicably curled his lips into a smile.

"Okay."

It seems Wu Xingyun is indeed a treasure; as long as you have a connection with him, those things will come to you on their own.

Wu Zhao thought to himself.

Shen Jiaojiao, see you in a bit.
