Chapter 105 No Demon Gods, Only Evil Spirits
"Ouch!"
"What's wrong, Master?"
Zi Yao, who had come upon hearing the cry of pain, froze on the spot before he could finish speaking.
All that could be seen was Wu Zhao covering his nose and his family head's flushed forehead.
"What, what happened?" He composed himself before rushing over.
Wu Zhao felt like crawling into a hole in the ground.
Has she gone mad? How could she have such a rebellious thought about Gu Chen!
Gu Chen pressed his slightly swollen forehead, a look of shock appearing on his face for the first time.
"Zhaozhao, is this... the offense you mentioned?"
Waving his hands frantically, Wu Zhao said, "No, no, I was just bewitched! I'm going back now, you can come back later!"
Feeling deeply ashamed, Wu Zhao took advantage of the other party's leg disability and quickly ran away.
Zi Yao cautiously sidled up to Gu Chen and asked, "Patriarch, shall we... go back?"
Gu Chen lowered his head and pressed his temples, a clear laugh escaping his throat.
Deep and melodious.
Zi Yao couldn't help but shudder.
"Homeowner?"
Miss Wu isn't here anymore, so your smile is... well, isn't that a bit inappropriate?
"Push me back." Gu Chen lowered his hand, his face returning to its expressionless state.
Suppressing his inner grumbling, Zi Yao obediently went over and pushed the wheelchair.
Having already retreated to his room, Wu Zhao threw himself onto the bed and tried to cover himself with the blanket.
Thinking about what she had just been thinking, she felt a surge of heat rising from her feet to her head.
"I must be going crazy..." Wu Zhao muttered to himself as he rolled over and lay on his back in a state of self-abandonment.
Unconsciously clutching the blanket, she wondered if it was because she hadn't really succeeded.
It seems I haven't felt any divine punishment...?
I rolled over on the bed and felt a lingering pain in my nose.
Whether it was regret or relief, Wu Zhao sighed.
The next second there was a knock on the door.
Feeling guilty, Wu Zhao suddenly sat up abruptly: "W-what's wrong?"
Zi Yao's voice came through: "Miss Wu, Young Master Huo called you but you didn't answer. He just called home and said he's done what you asked him to do."
"So fast?" Wu Zhao was a little surprised. She replied, "Okay, I understand."
I don't know how Huo Tingchen did it, how he managed to win Yan Bin over so quickly?
She searched her body for a long time but couldn't find her phone. Only after getting out of bed did she see it lying next to her slippers.
Sure enough, I saw two missed calls.
After calling back, Huo Tingchen answered quickly, "Boss, I've had someone arrange for Yan Bin to come out."
"Don't worry, this middleman has nothing to do with me, and no one else will notice." Huo Tingchen explained in detail, "Before I asked someone to make an appointment with him, I had someone check the current situation of the Yan family. It is said that they took on a seaside amusement park project, but that project has been suspended for some special reasons."
“Yan Bin has invested a lot of money in this project and is currently short of funds. The person I found happens to be a nouveau riche who has only been in the capital for a few years and is looking for an opportunity to enter the capital's social circles. The two of us hit it off immediately, which is why we were able to get him on board so quickly.”
Wu Zhao nodded and couldn't help but praise him: "Not bad, well done."
"Where and when did they meet?"
At this point, Huo Tingchen's voice sounded somewhat confused. He said, "Yan Bin set the time and place, and it wasn't in the capital. Instead, it was at that seaside amusement park. However, he explained that it was to take the investors there so they could have a look and feel reassured."
"Furthermore, Yan Bin warmly invited the investor and his family to go on a vacation together. I was worried something might change, so I had someone agree in advance."
Oh? So you arranged to meet in another city?
Turning the ring on her finger, Wu Zhao suddenly asked, "By the way, is the person you're looking for married?"
Huo Tingchen answered her question without reservation, saying, "I'm married, and my marriage is very happy. Besides having a son who is an excellent junior high school student, I also have twins, a boy and a girl. My wife just gave birth last month."
Twins, a stalled project, and a seaside amusement park.
As if struck by a thought, Wu Zhao's expression immediately turned cold.
"It seems Yan Bin has a good plan; she intends to bury this whole family in Paradise..."
Huo Tingchen hissed, "Boss, you mean Yan Bin wants to..."
“Set up a stake.” Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, “This Yan Bin has a big problem. Remember to remind the person who is going to meet her not to act rashly.”
As she spoke, she took out Shen Qingqing's spirit from the ring, "I will send the spirit over to keep watch first, and if there are any changes, take the children away immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhao looked at the ghostly spirits floating in mid-air.
Shen Qingqing's spirit body appeared to be very solid.
"My lord." Shen Qingqing shrank back slightly, terrified by the aura emanating from Wu Zhao.
"Do you want to be reincarnated?" Wu Zhao asked. "I remember you were an orphan, and your life was neither good nor bad. But you died unjustly, so you'll probably have a peaceful and happy life in your next life."
Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Shen Qingqing shook her head: "I don't want to be reincarnated. It's fine to be a spirit floating in this world."
"Pretty good?" Wu Zhao's lips twitched. "If you hadn't been recuperating in my ring for so long, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago. The final result for a spirit that doesn't reincarnate is dissipation."
Shen Qingqing looked nervous. She tentatively asked, "My lord, if... if I work by your side... can I stay here forever?"
"I promise I won't do anything reckless. You see, I'm the one who told you that Yan Bin had problems, right?"
A triumphant smile flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes. She calmly said, "Since you put it that way, it's not impossible."
Summoning a demon god now is risky; wouldn't it be better for her to just contract a docile and obedient spirit servant?
He raised his hand and cast a talisman at Shen Qingqing, and a totem similar to the one on Wu Zhao's arm appeared on her forehead.
The contract is established!
The moment the contract was signed, a sinister and icy aura suddenly surged out from her ring.
Before Shen Qingqing could recover from the joy of the completed contract, she felt a terrifying aura and screamed silently.
In her line of sight, a huge and heavy black door quietly appeared in the void behind Wu Zhao.
An ancient and somber aura emanated from the gate, and Shen Qingqing felt a sharp pain in her eyes, forcing her to look away.
But when she tried to look again, the door had already disappeared.
What she just saw seemed like her imagination.
"What are you spacing out for?" Wu Zhao asked, noticing that she had been staring blankly since completing the contract. "Did you hear what I just said?"
Shen Qingqing looked at her, "Wh...what?"
“I’m telling you to go back to Yan Bin’s side. If you find that he’s about to harm the people around him, then step in and rescue them,” Wu Zhao repeated.
"Oh, okay." Shen Qingqing originally wanted to ask about the door, but it was as if someone stopped her from speaking.
Even though she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.
Seeing her gaping mouth and bewildered expression, Wu Zhao couldn't help but think: This servant seems very unreliable...
A soft knock sounded at the door, accompanied by Gu Chen's deep voice: "Zhao Zhao, are you there?"
When Shen Qingqing, who had already recovered, heard this voice, she felt her vision go black, and she had a terrifying feeling that she might die a second time, even though she was already dead.
Unable to resist the urge to escape, she flew through the wall and ran away, saying, "Master, I'm going first!"
Outside the door, Gu Chen, sitting in his wheelchair, tightened his grip, and a golden light appeared in his dark eyes.
Then disappeared.
"...It's actually a contract?"
