Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Uh……"

Wu Zhao was speechless for a moment, his mind racing as he tried to think of an explanation.

Fortunately, Gu Chen said again, "Maybe you bumped into something accidentally, ouch—"

Did she bite really hard?! Wu Zhao thought angrily.

Gallo followed behind her like a ghost, remaining silent.

"Does your servant need his own room?" Wu Xingyun caught up from behind and asked curiously.

“No need, he’ll leave in a bit.” Wu Zhao said, somewhat dejected.

My spiritual power is gone again, and I can't even maintain basic summoning.

It's so uncomfortable.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Chen's lips again.

Under the bright lights of the cruise ship, the wound on the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.

Wu Zhao: "..."

He thought to himself: We absolutely cannot afford to act recklessly again!

The purple aura wrapped around her hands clung intimately to her.

Wu Zhao sighed: Applying these patches will do; little by little, they will eventually help to heal the body.

Wu Shiyu didn't come along because she needed to check everyone's accommodations. Qingyao and Chen Fang, the two patients, were arranged to share a suite.

Hongyao lives next door to them, so it's convenient for her to take care of them.

Wu Zhao naturally shared a luxurious private room with Gu Chen again.

When making the arrangements, Wu Shiyu was a little puzzled as to why she had arranged it so smoothly, as if it were only natural for the two of them to live together.

She was a little confused, feeling like she had forgotten something very important.

Upon entering the room and seeing the soft sofa, Wu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can get some rest.

Wu Shiyu thoughtfully brought over clean clothes for a change.

Just as she was about to take her clothes to take a bath, something suddenly fell out of her pocket.

However, Wu Zhao did not notice and went straight into the bathroom.

Gu Chen's wheelchair approached silently, and he bent down to pick up the things that had fallen to the ground.

A piece of flawless white finger bone lay quietly in his hand.

Layers of seals and talismans completely concealed the aura of the finger bone.

"I never expected it to actually be hidden in..." Gu Chen looked at the finger bone and fell into deep thought.

I could faintly hear the sound of birds flapping their wings outside the window.

His dark eyes glanced over with a hint of coldness as a crow flew past the window.

Gu Chen said softly, "Never mind, you have your own plans..."

He placed the finger bone in the corner of the sofa, making it look as if it had accidentally fallen out and rolled there.

He then picked up the menu from the small table next to him and studied the dishes.

Not long after he ordered dinner, Wu Zhao came out of the bathroom.

She was wrapped in a large bathrobe in the bathroom, her elegant and delicate collarbone peeking out from the neckline.

Wu Zhao walked over barefoot, revealing a section of her slender, fair calf.

"I'm a little thirsty. When can we eat again?" Wu Zhao asked, rubbing his stomach.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Gu Chen looked at her. "We'll be eating soon, I've ordered food."

Just as Wu Zhao was about to speak, there was a knocking sound at the door, accompanied by Wu Xingyun's weak plea for help: "Help, I—"

"I need a talisman to prevent seasickness!"

Seeing Wu Zhao speechless as she prepared to open the door, Gu Chen said, "Go change your clothes, I'll open the door."

Wu Zhao looked down at himself.

"Oh, okay." Although the bathrobe covered her up quite well, it didn't seem right to be disheveled in front of a younger person.

After opening the door, a dejected Wu Xingyun clung to Gu Chen's wheelchair, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Save my life..."

Gu Chen's lips twitched slightly. "Get up first."

To everyone's surprise, Wu Xingyun said, "My legs are weak, I can't get up."

Wu Zhao changed his clothes and came out, pulling him up with one hand.

"I might as well just throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!"

She casually shoved a talisman into his body and said irritably, "Alright, you won't faint for the next three days."

This unlucky kid.

After a while, Wu Xingyun felt a little better. He said, "My sister just received a call from the capital. It seems to be the Gu family on the other end."

"But it doesn't seem to have gone too well; my sister hung up the phone right away."

When Wu Zhao heard him say this, he noticed a slight change in Wu Xingyun's expression.

"The Gu family must have known that Gu Jiaping is dead."

Gu Chen looked at Wu Zhao as he spoke.

Wu Zhao then remembered that there was a dead Gu Jiaping before he came to the island.

"Ah...is that so?" Wu Xingyun said, "But we haven't found Gu Jiaping's body."

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, "It seems that Gu Jiaping is not among the bodyguards I brought out."

Gu Jiaping seemed to have vanished without a trace.

“…He is a member of the Gu family.” Gu Chen emphasized, “The Gu family is probably different from ordinary people.”

Different? Wu Zhao pulled over the wheelchair and looked at Gu Chen's face.

He shook his head: "No, um...it's a bit strange."

Logically speaking, Gu Chen and the Gu family should be closer by blood, and if they share the same clan and surname, their fates should also be closer.

However, Wu Zhao noticed that he was clearly closer to the Huo family.

Thinking of the purple aura that Gu Chen had given Huo Tingchen, Wu Zhao asked, "Do you rarely have contact with the Gu family?"

Gu Chen explained, "Well... the relationship between the Gu family's main branch and the Gu family's branch is not good."

“My grandfather had five or six brothers. After he inherited the main family, all the branch families had to go their separate ways.”

The resource gap is probably huge, which explains why Gu Jiaping is afraid of and distant from Gu Chen.

Wu Xingyun clicked his tongue in amazement: This wealthy and powerful family is truly extraordinary, with such a large population.

"My sister asked me to inquire what to do if the Gu family comes to demand their return."

They were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead...

Wu Zhao tentatively asked Gu Chen, "How about we just say he fell into the sea and was eaten by sharks?"

Gu Chen shook his head in rejection: "I'm afraid his mother won't let this go. Tell her to come find me."

The yin energy above his head began to stir and churn again.

Wu Zhao guessed that Gu Jiaping's mother was probably a difficult person, otherwise the yin energy above Gu Chen's head wouldn't be so active.

As the food cart was pushed over, Wu Xingyun touched his stomach and suddenly felt a little hungry.

"You guys eat something first, I'll go back and tell my sister!"

Upon seeing that he had eaten, Wu Zhao felt even hungrier.

Gu Chen watched her eat: "If anyone asks you about you and Gu Jiaping, just say you don't know, understand?"

"Don't mention anything about him picking on you."

As if remembering something, a hint of melancholy appeared in Gu Chen's eyes: "My aunt is very protective of her own, so you should be careful."

Wu Zhao took a sip of soup and said, "He was ambushed. We still need to investigate the disappearance of the body ourselves."

Gu Chen agreed with her statement, and looking at Wu Zhao, who was eating seriously, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, he asked:

"Should we open the window? The temperature is still okay."

Wu Zhao casually waved his hand and then went back to eating.

Gu Chen opened the window.

A dark figure darted into the room, snatched something from the sofa, and quickly fled.

"What--"

Wu Zhao didn't have time to put down his chopsticks before he took a closer look.

A crow snatched the finger bone away!

"Ugh, this dead bird!"
