Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Zhao grabbed Gu Chen's arm and pressed down on his hand with one hand.

His hands were very cold, and his fingertips were slightly wrinkled from being soaked in the rain.

The blood dripped onto his soaked clothes, leaving some shocking marks.

The purple aura surrounding him surged up the moment Wu Zhao approached, tightly enveloping him.

She even felt a slight pain from being strangled.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, my hand was suddenly gripped tightly.

My palms were still damp from the rain, and my large, cold hands were clenched between my fingers.

"Gu Chen?" Wu Zhao lowered his head and saw Gu Chen slightly open his closed eyes.

Those dark eyes stared at him without blinking.

She was somewhat surprised, "You, how did you get yourself into this state?"

Zi Yao was extremely anxious beside them, "Miss Wu, you've been missing for three days! If we don't find you soon, the patriarch will close the mountain and send people from home!"

"The head of the family hasn't eaten much these past few days, nor has he rested at all. Fortunately, you are all alright—"

What? Wu Zhao was taken aback.

Three days have already passed?

Looking at Gu Chen apologetically, Wu Zhao explained, "I didn't expect the passage of time to be so slow there, no wonder..."

No wonder Peach Fairy's paradise looks somewhat discordant; it turns out that the flow of time is completely different from that outside.

"...You're still here." Gu Chen's voice was a little hoarse, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Wu Zhao was being held by him and didn't hear what he said clearly.

After looking around, she discovered that Peach Blossom Spring had disappeared.

Peach Fairy also disappeared. Wu Zhao couldn't sense Peach Fairy's presence and guessed that she had gone into hiding.

She is a very pure spirit, and it is very difficult for Wu Zhao to find her unless she takes the initiative to appear.

With a sigh, Wu Zhao decided to leave first.

Seeing that Gu Chen was too weak, she asked, "Let's go back first. You need to rest."

The once proud and arrogant man now had disheveled hair, blood at the corner of his mouth, and traces of rain on his pale face.

He looked extremely disheveled.

“…Okay.” Gu Chen nodded and closed his eyes slightly.

However, he still held Wu Zhao's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

Zi Yao stood frozen in place, unable to move forward or backward, as she supported herself in her wheelchair.

“Let’s go.” Wu Zhao turned around and stood next to the wheelchair. “Let’s go back to the camp first. This program was really exciting.”

Wu Xingyun moved closer to Zi Yao and gave him a push, saying, "Hey, why don't you hurry up and push the wheelchair?"

Upon seeing Wu Zhao, Mo Dahai seemed to come alive, running over in a panic: "My goodness, I've finally found you!"

"If I can't find you again, I've already thought about my last words—"

Wu Zhao dodged his massive body as he lunged at her with a hint of disgust, speechless: "It's alright, I've already checked. Director, you probably have the face of someone who can live to be a hundred. Don't worry, you don't need to think about your last words anytime soon."

His smile froze, and Mo Dahai coughed a few times: "I was just exaggerating. It's good that we found you. Let's go back now."

Shen Jiaojiao and Luo Jing were pushed aside as they watched Wu Zhao being surrounded by people who were initially arrogant but later became obsequious as they walked down the mountain.

She slowly tightened her fingers, and the statue she held in her palm let out a silent roar.

With a cold gaze fixed on Wu Zhao's back in the crowd, Shen Jiaojiao's lips curled up slightly.

Soon someone came over and took the still unconscious Shen Zhuo from Luo Jing's arms. She smiled gently and said apologetically, "Thank you for your help. I'm entrusting my brother to you."

"It's alright, it's alright, Jiaojiao, you go first." The person was her fan and quickly replied.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and followed the others.

Her expression turned cold as she turned around.

I'll let you be smug for a while longer, Shen Zhaozhao. Sooner or later, I'll take everything away from you!

Luo Jing followed in the crowd, his face extremely pale.

He vaguely felt that something was following him, like a persistent, lingering infection that filled him with dread.

It made him eager to leave!

……

At the filming camp at the final stop on the mountaintop, the equipment set up was still broadcasting live, and the live broadcast room was in a mess.

Various kinds of bullet comments flashed by quickly.

This show is really plagued by misfortunes; one person after another has an accident.

[Maybe some people are just having bad luck. I told you not to let those pretentious people participate in the show to ride the wave of popularity. Now they've got the hype, but the director's parents are probably going to be in deep trouble.]

[Hilarious! Who's playing the ghost here?!]

Wu Nini held a cup of hot water, looking anxiously and nervously in one direction. In front of her was Xie Buji, who was pacing around like an ant on a hot pan.

"Can you stop wandering around?" Wu Nini was getting annoyed. "I'm already annoyed that Jiaojiao can't find me, and you're just making things worse."

Xie Buji retorted without hesitation, "I was worried too. If the director hadn't told me not to go, I would have gone with him to find Jiaojiao."

"How was I supposed to know they'd have an accident right after they set off? I knew this production team was unreliable!"

He only learned two days later, yesterday, when he arrived at the destination, that Shen Jiaojiao had encountered wild wolves on the way and had become separated from her cameraman.

If the director hadn't said today that they'd found the person, he would have called the police and complained about this lousy show!

"They're back! They're back!" the staff at the camp exclaimed excitedly.

Wu Nini and Xie Buji stood up instantly and rushed towards the crowd simultaneously.

[Hilarious! This is the episode where this brother-sister duo has the best chemistry.]

[It seems like toxic fans only synchronize when facing their idol!]

[Oh my god, these people pushed our Jiaojiao to the back! This is awful!]

Seeing Wu Zhao being escorted back and Shen Jiaojiao following behind alone, Xie Bujie immediately exploded.

He roared angrily at Mo Dahai: "Mo Dahai, what are you doing! Jiaojiao's face is so pale, are you just going to let her walk back by herself?!"

Mo Dahai was still basking in the joy of knowing that the big boss was alright when he was suddenly startled by Xie Buji's question.

After realizing what was happening, he glanced at Shen Jiaojiao, who was pursing her lips and remaining silent.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't think it through. Quick, bring me a blanket. Oh, and have the accompanying doctor come and take a look!"

"Are you guys crazy?!" Xie Buji snatched the blanket and walked over to Shen Jiaojiao with great concern. His expression changed as he said with heartache, "Jiaojiao, quickly put this on. There's no color in your face at all."

Shen Jiaojiao seemed to have been holding on for a long time, and forced a smile as she said, "Thank you, I'm fine. Let the doctor see the others first."

Her gaze fell on Gu Chen, who was being carried by Zi Yao to be placed into the tent.

Even when he was unconscious, he still held onto Wu Zhao's hand and refused to let go.

"Hmph." Xie Bujie sneered, "He's already a troublemaker himself, yet he still has to go up the mountain to find someone. What a waste of his time. Since he's so eager to court death, let him suffer!"

He loudly stopped the doctor: "Doctor, please take a look at Jiaojiao and Zhuoge first!"

"I've also invested so much money in the production team, so the person I'm talking about should be fine, right, director?"

Mo Dahai looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

With a smile on her face, Shen Jiaojiao politely declined, saying, "Mr. Xie, I'm fine. Let the doctor see the more important patients first. My brother and I can wait."

"Jiaojiao, you're just too soft-hearted." Xie Buji looked at the scrapes on her face and her slightly soiled clothes with some pity, then ordered the doctor, "Hurry up and come see Jiaojiao, her feet are swollen! What if she gets a scar on her face?"

He maintained his arrogant expression as he spoke.

A vein throbbed on Wu Zhao's forehead.

If Gu Chen hadn't been holding her so tightly, she really would have wanted to throw this noisy person off the mountain.

“Um, Mr. Xie,” Mo Dahai cleared his throat, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “This doctor… is the Gu family’s private doctor.”

He's paid by the Gu family, so if anyone wants to see something, he should show it to his boss first.

Then, the accompanying doctor, who was about to walk into the tent, gave him a cold look and said, "Excuse me, I need to confirm that my master is safe first."

Xie Buji's expression froze; at this moment, he looked like a comical clown.

Wu Zhao helped Zi Yao support Gu Chen and chuckled, "Fool."

No wonder he was completely manipulated by Shen Jiaojiao.

“Sister, Mr. Xie was just worried about me, he didn’t mean anything by it.” Shen Jiaojiao said, her steps becoming a little unsteady.

Xie Buji quickly helped her up, "Jiaojiao, are you alright? Let me help you to rest!"

A black aura entered his body the moment the two made contact.

Looking at the lingering black aura behind Shen Jiaojiao and Xie Buji's changed appearance.

Wu Zhao couldn't help but repeat, "Really, stupid and hopeless."
