Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 104 Borrowing Purple Qi Is Not Improper

Wu Zhao found it utterly absurd.

Neither Huo Tingchen, who was standing to the side, nor Wu Xingyun, who was pulling the emotionally distraught Yan Xuzhe, heard her whisper just now.

Seeing the surprise on her face, Huo Tingchen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, boss? What are you thinking about?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right?" Wu Zhao said uncertainly.

Today, Heaven favors humanity, and the spiritual energy in the world is not as abundant as it was three thousand years ago.

Is a ghost king created in such an extreme way really not afraid of divine retribution?

She put Shen Qingqing's spirit back into the ring and said to Huo Tingchen, "Try to see if you can arrange to meet Yan Bin under the guise of business cooperation. Don't do it yourself, I'm afraid he'll find out."

"Okay, I'll think of a way." Huo Tingchen nodded in agreement without suspicion.

Then Wu Zhao looked at Wu Xingyun and said, "Contact your sister and see where she is. Tell her to come back as soon as possible."

Looking at Yan Xuze, whose eyes were red with disdain, Wu Zhao said, "I've already let you meet him once, so don't think about anything else."

"You'd better not let your father notice anything unusual at home, otherwise..."

Wu Zhao raised his hand to him, the ring on his finger particularly eye-catching.

You know what's going to happen, right?

Yan Xuzhe, who was about to speak, suddenly shut his mouth. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You...you won't hurt my father, right?"

As Wu Zhao prepared to leave, he sneered: "That is, he hasn't harmed any innocent people."

"So, after hearing what Shen Qingqing said, do you think he is innocent?"

The only sound in the cold stairwell was the footsteps of a few people.

Living with his father, how could Yan Xuzhe not have noticed Yan Bin's unusual behavior?

She just wanted to protect him, even though he had killed many people...

Humans can be insatiable at times.

As if struck by a thought, Wu Zhao's cold smile slowly faded into calm.

……

Wu Zhao was sent back to the Gu family villa by Huo Tingchen.

Wu Xingyun was sent by her to take Yan Xuzhe home.

After the car stopped, Huo Tingchen noticed that she still seemed angry and asked, "Boss, is the matter serious?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some bad memories."

Wu Zhao didn't answer. She opened the car door and said, "Don't force the meeting with Yan Bin. If she finds out, we'll alert her."

"I understand." Huo Tingchen nodded. "Then I won't go see my uncle for now. Please give him my regards."

Watching him drive away, Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised to see Ye Linyan's figure in front of the ruins of the bamboo house next door.

Hearing the commotion outside, Ye Linyan turned around and saw Wu Zhao.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she actually saw a fleeting golden light in Ye Linyan's eyes.

That was clearly the aura of the Heavenly Dao!

Wu Zhao's pupils contracted for a moment, and he called out uncertainly, "...Mr. Ye?"

Ye Linyan chuckled at her: "Why does Miss Wu seem so surprised to see me? Although this small building has burned down, there are still places to stay in front."

"And I'm waiting here just to let you know that Yue Jinsheng's engagement banquet went very smoothly."

Even though his father was half-dead, he was still able to get engaged as usual.

It seems that Gu Yang's doting on Yue Jinsheng has raised a heartless ingrate.

Wu Zhao showed no sympathy whatsoever, feeling sorry for Gu Yang and Yue Jinsheng, mother and son.

"Oh, should I say congratulations?" Wu Zhao also stopped, and the two looked at each other across the lush ornamental bushes.

Shaking his head, Ye Linyan smiled and said, "I thought you would be more interested in their outcome, which is why I was waiting here. But it seems you're not surprised."

"Did you think I went to disrupt his engagement party at noon?" Wu Zhao suddenly remembered something and looked at him with some doubt. "I don't know what gave you that impression. Actually, I just wanted to confirm something."

"Who Yue Jinsheng gets engaged or married has nothing to do with me or Gu Chen."

Ye Linyan observed Wu Zhao's expression and noticed that she spoke without the slightest hesitation or pause.

He frowned slightly: "...I thought you went to the engagement party because of Gu Chen."

In her view, Yue Jinsheng's engagement to the Ye family was a very unfavorable signal for Gu Chen. Seeing Wu Zhao, he initially thought it was Gu Chen's way of expressing his frustration.

But now it seems he was wrong...

“If you put it that way, then so be it,” Wu Zhao said without hiding anything. “However, I have no interest in bad marriages. Even though you forced this marriage together, you will have to bear the joys and sorrows yourself.”

She shrugged and spoke casually.

Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a familiar wheel appearing in the corner of the wall not far away, and as she turned to the side, a pair of familiar legs came into her view.

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and waved her hand at Ye Linyan: "Since Mr. Ye has already told me the result, there's nothing more to talk about."

Ye Linyan saw her turn around decisively and head towards the backyard of the Gu family, and naturally he also saw the wheelchair at the corner.

His gaze held a hint of envy and jealousy.

"Gu Chen...you're incredibly lucky..."

The soft whisper was only audible to him, carried away by a gust of cold wind.

Wu Zhao silently approached the wheelchair and suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chen.

What are you doing hiding here?

Her sudden appearance caught Gu Chen's attention, who was somewhat taken aback.

Those eyes were as dim as a starless night sky, deep and empty.

"What's wrong?" Putting aside her joking thoughts, Wu Zhao leaned closer and asked him.

Gu Chen blinked and replied, "It's nothing. I just saw that you were having a good time chatting, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Is the atmosphere good?

Wu Zhao thought about what she and Ye Linyan had been talking about earlier and said somewhat strangely, "Which eye of yours saw that I had a good conversation with him?"

"Speaking of which, it's quite remarkable that Yue Jinsheng and his mother were able to hold their engagement banquet normally, even though you're the father." Seeing that he didn't answer, Wu Zhao quickly changed the subject.

"Is that so?" Gu Chen's voice was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by this. "They have always been like this, only ever maximizing their own interests."

Having spent several years with them, Gu Chen had a certain understanding of these two people, if not an exact knowledge of them.

“The area around the capital might be a bit unsettled lately. Remember to tell your family not to wander around.” Thinking of his suspicions, Wu Zhao still felt somewhat uncertain.

Although her meridians have been partially repaired, it's still only a drop in the ocean compared to her prime.

I wonder if I can deal with the demon king that was spawned...

When will this broken body ever be repaired?! Thinking about this, Wu Zhao became somewhat irritable.

I can't help but want to curse the scoundrel Tiandao again.

Seeing her frown, Gu Chen suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against her forehead: "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

A hint of worry crossed his face, and a faint glint appeared in his beautiful eyes.

Wu Zhao admitted that she was bewitched by his face, because the face that looked up at her was simply too outstanding.

Completely ignoring what he said, Wu Zhao stared intently at Gu Chen's lips.

A restless feeling began to stir within me.

"Zhao Zhao...?" Gu Chen lowered his hand and called her name again when he saw that she didn't speak.

His hand was immediately grasped by Wu Zhao, and a joyful and lively purple aura surged into her body.

Subconsciously licking the corner of his mouth, Wu Zhao asked in a low voice, "Gu Chen, if, I mean, if someone offends you, what would you do?"

"Offended?" Gu Chen was taken aback. "How so...?"

With a determined look in her eyes, Wu Zhao said, "That's it—!"

Grabbing his hand tightly, Gu Chen unsurprisingly lunged at her.

A muffled groan suddenly rang out.

"Well!"
