Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

The next morning, Wu Zhao was informed that the program would be recorded as scheduled.

Wu Zhao wasn't surprised, but he didn't know how the production team communicated with the TV station and persuaded the Beijing Garrison.

She noticed that Gu Chen hadn't returned last night and wondered where he was resting.

After changing his clothes, Wu Zhao left the tent.

Some staff members were already preparing breakfast in the open space outside. She looked around before spotting Gu Chen.

Standing opposite him were Zi Yao and Wu Xingyun, who seemed to be exchanging information.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao approach, Zi Yao took two steps back. "Patriarch, I'll be going now."

Zi Yao nodded to her, then quickly left.

Seeing her gazing at Zi Yao's retreating figure, Gu Chen asked, "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"

Why does it feel like he's calling my name more and more awkward...?

Wu Zhao thought to herself, but said aloud, "It's nothing, why are you all here so early?"

Wu Xingyun was holding a few raw eggs in his hand, looking like he was making breakfast.

He smiled and said, "I was woken up by the production crew this morning, and I just happened to see the head of the Koo family outside."

“He said you were still sleeping, so I thought I’d make breakfast.”

Pointing to the makeshift stove that had already been set up, Wu Xingyun added, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Seeing him walk away, Wu Zhao turned to Gu Chen: "You...didn't sleep all night?"

Although Gu Chen concealed it well, Wu Zhao still noticed the occasional signs of fatigue in his eyes.

"...I can't sleep." Gu Chen awkwardly avoided Wu Zhao's gaze and looked down at his legs.

Not right.

Ziqi, who had been so excited to see her before, was unusually listless today, huddled up next to Gu Chen, looking weak and listless.

However, Wu Zhao did not notice anything amiss with Gu Chen's complexion or aura.

Even the yin energy above his head was unusually silent today.

It was eerily quiet.

However, Wu Zhao could tell that she wouldn't get any information out of him, so she went directly to Gu Chen and sat down on the stool prepared by the staff.

Gu Chen's lowered eyes were filled with unfathomable emotions. He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

"The kindergarten incident has been suppressed, and the screen recordings in the live stream have been mostly cleaned up." His voice was very soft. "I've also had the young master of the Wu family in Beijing speak to him, so there won't be any negative comments about you."

"The cause of the accident is still unclear, but the fire department has a preliminary suspicion that it may have been caused by a gas leak. Thanks to your reminder last night, there were no casualties."

Last night's incident caused quite a stir, and the Fengcheng police station also tried to contact the program team to ask Wu Zhao for assistance in the investigation.

After all, her predictions during the live stream were so outlandish that they inevitably raised suspicions.

To prevent things from escalating too much, he had the Huo family conduct an emergency public relations effort last night, deleting all the malicious speculations.

In addition, he had negotiations with the capital, which was one of the reasons why he didn't sleep all night.

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised. She looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Is it very troublesome?"

“No trouble at all,” Gu Chen replied.

He didn't find it troublesome to handle these matters for Wu Zhao.

After giving instructions to his deputy, Mo Dahai saw Wu Zhao and Gu Chen sitting together, so he rubbed his hands together and walked over.

"Boss, have you rested well? Will today's program be able to be recorded as scheduled?" he asked somewhat nervously.

Wu Zhao glanced at his expression and calmly said, "It's alright, just start recording the show as normal."

"There shouldn't be any more surprises today, right?" Mo Dahai muttered to himself, then looked at Wu Zhao tentatively and said, "Also, could you please tone down your supernatural abilities a little? This is a live broadcast. If the audience sees it, it might cause some unnecessary speculation."

Wu Zhao replied, "Since you're so eager for this show to become a huge hit, wouldn't it be better to give you more exposure?"

Mo Dahai's face tightened, and he said with a bitter expression, "Boss, please don't joke with me. My little body really can't take being scared."

Looking at his bulky figure, Wu Zhao's lips twitched: "Small build?"

"Haha, ha, adjective, adjective." Mo Dahai said, glancing at the expressionless Gu Chen beside him, somewhat shrinking back: "I hope this show can turn my career around, but I don't want to turn my career around and get a free meal and lodging..."

After frying the eggs, Wu Xingyun borrowed a few slices of ham and bread from the staff and came over with a large plate.

Seeing Mo Dahai's strange expression, he said, "Director, what's wrong? I see breakfast is almost ready over there, aren't you going to eat?"

After placing the sandwiches he had made in front of Wu Zhao and Gu Chen, Wu Xingyun said somewhat nervously, "There aren't any really good ingredients here, so please make do with what you have for now."

Seeing that Wu Zhao had already started eating breakfast, Mo Dahai decided not to stay any longer.

So he said, "Then you guys eat first, and start the live stream after you finish breakfast."

“No problem, we’ll all wait for the director’s instructions.” Wu Xingyun waved to him.

After breakfast, Wu Zhao saw the other groups of guests come out of their tents one after another.

Suddenly remembering something, she moved closer to Gu Chen and reached out her hand to him.

Caught off guard, Gu Chen was a little surprised. Just as she was about to touch her, he grabbed her wrist. "Zhao Zhao?"

"Where is what I gave you?" Wu Zhao's wrist was held by him and he could not move it, but he still pointed at his chest with his index finger.

When she left yesterday to look for someone, she slipped a small paper figure into his pocket.

But now it feels like... he's gone.

Gu Chen was momentarily lost in thought.

But he quickly realized what was happening and said, "That little thing ran away."

"They ran away?" Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow.

She knows her little paper doll best; it's so attached to Gu Chen that it's impossible to tear it off, so how could it possibly run away?

After closing his eyes and sensing the surroundings, Wu Zhao opened them in surprise.

"How did it get to... that kindergarten in Fengcheng?!" Wasn't her order to the little paper doll to protect Gu Chen and never leave his side?

Could it be that she gave the paper doll some other command before she fell unconscious?!

Wu Zhao withdrew his hand somewhat blankly, trying to summon the little paper figure back.

Gu Chen slowly exhaled behind her.

He was careless...

It seems we can only wait for the little paper doll to return. Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand.

She looked up and was somewhat surprised to find a faint, dark red line between Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Zhuo.

The messy threads of fate that originally belonged to Shen Zhuo were completely swallowed up by that black and red thread.

This Shen Jiaojiao is too strange... Wu Zhao looked at the red and black threads tightly wrapped around Shen Zhuo's body.

The yin energy emanating from her felt like tentacles, constantly probing everyone who approached Shen Jiaojiao.

"Don't get too close to Shen Jiaojiao later." Seeing this, Wu Zhao took out a talisman and stuffed it into Wu Xingyun's pocket.

Wu Xingyun patted his pocket and nodded: "Okay."

Just as Shen Jiaojiao's yin energy tentacles were about to touch Wu Xingyun, a wild beast's roar suddenly came from the dense forest.

Accompanied by the roar of a wild beast, the yin energy tentacles on Shen Jiaojiao's body suddenly surged with yin energy.

The finger bone resting on his body suddenly felt slightly hot, and Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"Awooo~~~"

"Awooohoo—"

The bad stuff has come out again—

Two-legged creatures, come save me!
