Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

The crow was incredibly fast; before Wu Zhao could react, it had already disappeared into the night.

Gu Chen remained with the window open, seemingly somewhat surprised: "A crow?"

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow: "You came to pick it up so quickly, it seems that thing is quite important."

After all, Shen Jiaojiao was still on the ship, so Wu Zhao wasn't surprised at all that the finger bone would be taken away.

"Are you alright?" Gu Chen asked.

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Wu Zhao picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

“It’s troublesome to keep it in my possession. I left something on it so that if it’s not discovered, the caster can be found.”

She said, "That thing has seals and curse marks on it, it's a very ancient spell, it must be something very important. But it's not quite the same as the piece I crushed before."

"Shen Jiaojiao's should be a copy, this one is the real one."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we're discovered; it'll be a little surprise."

Anyone who dares to scheme against her will pay the price!

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Gu Chen said, "You were in a bad mood when you came back earlier. Was it because of Lin Lele and her father?"

Wu Zhao, who was about to leave the table and stand up, stopped. She looked at Gu Chen with surprise: "How did you know...?"

Gu Chen's gaze remained fixed on her, his dark pupils as deep and turbulent as the surging waves outside the window.

“I guessed.” Gu Chen frowned. “When you came back, your breathing was very disordered.”

The confusion wasn't caused by the injury, but rather by emotional fluctuations.

Gu Chen had known what kind of person she was for a long time.

Living with the expectations of everyone on her shoulders, sacrificing herself to save everyone...

Pretending to be calm, but seeing Lin Xuguo still anxiously chasing after him without realizing it was a trap?

Wu Zhao fell silent.

Her voice was low as she said, "I feel a little frustrated that I didn't bring him back."

Gu Chen maneuvered the wheelchair to her side and took Wu Zhao's hand in his long, slender hand.

His broad, warm hands were dry, and Wu Zhao could also smell a faint, cool fragrance emanating from him.

"You said before that you wanted to give Yue Jinsheng a little surprise, do you want to do it now?" he asked.

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, "I've already decided to give him a little shock before he disembarks."

“I heard that he lives outside with his mother and your father. This surprise of mine should be unforgettable for them.”

She laughed a few times, her expression somewhat mocking.

Seeing that her mood had improved, Gu Chen said, "Alright, then you should get some rest and a good night's sleep."

I never expected that keeping Yue Jinsheng around would be of this use.

A gentle purple current flowed into her body.

Wu Zhao's fingers twitched, curling slightly in his palm.

After a while, he said, "You've had a hard time these past few days. Once we're ashore, I'll have Hongyao show you around and help you relax."

Wu Zhao stared at Gu Chen and suddenly asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

"Hmm?" Gu Chen curled his lips into a smile and chuckled, "Is Zhao Zhao... trying to pick someone up?"

"Are you still joking? But my lip hurts a bit, so I'm afraid I can't laugh."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Wu Zhao pouted and guiltily looked away.

She was speechless. "I'm going to sleep!"

Then he turned and walked into the room, slamming the door shut.

Gu Chen watched the door close behind her, then raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips.

"Still as gullible as ever..."

……

The ship was quiet for the next few days.

Some of the guests showed signs of fever, possibly due to being startled.

Fortunately, Wu Shiyu had thought things through and had a doctor among his entourage.

Wu Zhao hasn't seen Shen Jiaojiao and Yue Jinsheng these past few days.

I thought the two people were hiding in the room plotting something, but the little paper doll I released didn't find anything.

This puzzled Wu Zhao somewhat.

It's not a good sign when a petty person changes their nature.

Just in case, Wu Zhao sent two paper figures to keep an eye on the two people's room so she would know immediately if anything happened.

Wu Zhao summoned Wu Xingyun.

She asked Wu Xingyun somewhat mysteriously, "Want to play a thrilling game?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun took a few steps back and asked warily, "What game?"

"There is a box next to Yue Jinsheng, which contains the jade that was auctioned off at the auction."

"Are you interested... um?"

As Wu Zhao spoke, he saw Wu Xingyun's eyes grow brighter and brighter, and then he heard him excitedly say, "Damn it! But I can't let my sister know, or she'll definitely scold me."

Yue Jinsheng brought a total of six bodyguards with him on this trip. Two stayed with Shen Jiaojiao, and the remaining four lived in the house next to his.

The box containing the jade was guarded by four bodyguards in shifts.

Wu Zhao prepared an identical box, affixed a talisman, and handed it to Wu Xingyun.

"This talisman can interfere with the bodyguard's vision. Inside the box is a little surprise I prepared for Yue Jinsheng's family."

"After you take the box out, stick the talisman on it."

As for how to lure people out...

Wu Zhao chuckled mischievously twice.

In Yue Jinsheng's room, a small paper figure pasted next to the ceiling light slowly moved on the ceiling.

Yue Jinsheng, oblivious to everything, was watching TV in the living room, his expression showing some impatience.

The little paper figure quickly approached the smoke alarm.

A small bolt of lightning struck the alarm.

Then, water sprayed down accompanied by the sound of an alarm, soaking Yue Jinsheng completely.

"Damn it, what's going on!" Yue Jinsheng was drenched to the bone and jumped up quickly.

The bodyguards next door, who heard the commotion, rushed in quickly.

"Young Master, what happened!"

The bodyguards entered the room and saw the disheveled Yue Jinsheng and the water-spraying alarm.

Wu Xingyun's furtive figure flashed past the door.

One of the bodyguards quickly said, "Young master, please change your clothes first, and I'll have someone come and take care of it for you."

"Damn it, what bad luck!" Yue Jinsheng cursed. "Hurry up and go!"

He took off his wet clothes and threw them aside, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Where's the box! You idiots, I told you to keep an eye on the box!"

One of the bodyguards immediately turned around and went out, coming face to face with Wu Xingyun outside the door.

"What happened?" Wu Xingyun asked, watching the commotion with his hands behind his back, trying to squeeze into the room. "Isn't this Mr. Yue? What happened? Let me ask my sister to get you another room."

Knowing his identity, the bodyguards dared not offend him, but stopped him, saying, "Mr. Wu, my young master is not available right now. Please wait a while before coming over."

Wu Xingyun, who was just wondering what legitimate reason to use to leave, was suddenly delighted.

"You're the one who told me to leave." Wu Xingyun chuckled. "Then I'll be going. No need to see me off."

He glanced into the room out of the corner of his eye, his gaze lingering for a moment behind Yue Jinsheng.

Then Wu Xingyun turned around, picked up the box with the talisman pasted on it, and swaggered away.

Wu Zhao didn't have to wait long before she heard Wu Xingyun return. She opened the door and let him in.

Gu Chen was sitting in a chair by the window. Hearing the noise, he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xingyun looked at Gu Chen with a strange expression, then looked at Wu Zhao: "I saw Yue Jinsheng take off his clothes when I left just now."

"Are you interested in his body?" Wu Zhao opened the box he had placed on the table.

The jade, rich in spiritual energy, lay quietly inside.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xingyun said, "On his back... is the name of the Gu family head, and a black and red talisman totem."

“That spell is very complex; I’ve never seen one like it before.”

After a slight sound, the jade in Wu Zhao's hand fell back into the box covered with velvet.

"The Heaven-Seizing and Fate-Defying Talisman?"
