Chapter 3 Super Supplement Emperor Star
Chapter 3 Super Supplement Emperor Star
Wu Zhao keenly noticed Huo Tingchen's expression when he spoke of the fate of the person beside him. Huo Tingchen's eyes held a mixture of admiration, longing, and fear, as if he were filled with dread towards that person.
After hearing what she said, Huo Tingchen's expression suddenly became somewhat dejected.
Wu Zhao could tell that he had feelings for Shen Jiaojiao.
"Shen Jiaojiao was born in an unlucky time and month, and was destined to die young. But she has survived until now, so there must be someone by her side to prolong her life."
"Ten and twenty years old were both hurdles for her."
"Twenty years ago, the Shen family had twin sisters, but ten years ago, the older twin accidentally fell into the water and died."
Huo Tingchen was somewhat surprised: "You know that?"
Because that was her older sister… Wu Zhao’s expression was indifferent, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Shen Jiaojiao, you owe two lives!
"So Shen Jiaojiao killed someone when she was only ten years old?!"
Wu Zhao said, "Even if she didn't kill them, she did it to the person who wanted to prolong her life. But she must have known, because she had to stay conscious when prolonging her life."
"She hasn't gotten over the hurdle of turning twenty yet, because I'm still alive. In order to survive, I'll definitely keep in touch with you these next few days."
Although she is now physically weak and her soul is in ruins, at least she is still alive.
Wu Zhao looked at Huo Tingchen and said, "She has placed a curse on you. She must have obtained your hair and blood. The medium is most likely something like a doll, used to share your luck and vitality. I need to find the medium first before I can break the curse."
"However, once she's free, she'll find out and might directly attack you. I suggest you return to the side of that Purple Star Emperor; that will protect you from harm."
Huo Tingchen took a deep breath: "Okay."
Seeing the slight embarrassment on his face, Wu Zhao's expression became somewhat amused: "That Emperor Star is hard to approach? Are you afraid of getting beaten up before you even see him?"
If she and Huo Tingchen both leave Haicheng, Shen Jiaojiao and the people behind her should be worried.
Once a person loses their rationality, they will reveal more of what they know.
Wu Zhao gently fiddled with the ring on his hand, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Killing for life is justified.
Shen Jiaojiao, we have a long future ahead of us!
……
The black sedan came to a smooth stop outside the villa.
After Huo Tingchen got out of the car, a butler came out of the villa: "Young Master, what brings you back at this hour?"
"Uncle Ni, is your uncle resting?"
The butler, Uncle Ni, said with a smile, "Yes, I am. As you know, the master has been recuperating here recently. Did you come here specifically to see him?"
While in the car, Wu Zhao sensed a powerful aura. After getting out of the car, he saw soaring purple energy intertwined with pitch-black yin energy, as if the roar of a ferocious beast was faintly surfacing in his ears.
Someone dares to covet Emperor Star? Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised.
"This is the Gu family's villa. My uncle has been recuperating here since he fell ill," Huo Tingchen explained to Wu Zhao. "The Gu family is a branch of the Gu family. The Gu family is in a bit of a mess right now, so it's safer for my uncle here."
Suddenly, a dense purple aura surged in, swirling around Wu Zhao as if it were an old friend, affectionately nuzzling against her.
Alas! Imperial purple aura!
Noticing that his depleted spiritual energy was slowly recovering, Wu Zhao's eyes revealed a hint of joy.
She closed her eyes and sensed it; the black ring glowed faintly between her fingers.
Soon, the sound of something rolling on the ground grew louder as it approached.
Wu Zhao only saw a huge purple-gold mass slowly approaching him.
It's a super nourishing supplement!
However, she also noticed that the vast and dark Yin energy surrounding the purple-gold aura was following closely behind as the wheelchair moved, blotting out the sky.
This man has such a strange face!
The man sitting upright in the wheelchair had jet-black hair and dark eyes, and wore a sharp, elegant black suit. His skin was very pale, an unhealthy white. His handsome face was expressionless, with a small, blood-red mole under his left eye adding a touch of allure.
Wu Zhao was secretly alarmed. The image of the immortal emperor actually contained a deadly intent that could kill at any moment. How could someone dare to attack the emperor star without fear of divine retribution?!
At this moment, her dark eyes sparkled with starlight as she looked at Huo Tingchen: "Why are you back? What's the deal with the engagement party? Why did you bring another woman to see me?"
"No, Uncle, you've misunderstood! I have nothing to do with her!" Huo Tingchen quickly explained. "She came to save my life, Shen Zhaozhao. This is my uncle, Gu Chen. Tell me quickly!"
Seeing how afraid he was of this man, Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Yes, sir. I really have no relationship with Huo Tingchen. If there is one, it's that I'm his savior."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch the immense aura of good fortune that was drifting towards her.
"Oh?" Gu Chen's long, pale fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, his expression inscrutable.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Huo Tingchen quickly changed the subject: "Uncle, believe me, she really came to save my life."
"Believe you?" Gu Chen's expression was somewhat cold. "Who told me to believe that he had met his true love and was going all the way to get engaged? And who is it that is now sheepishly bringing strangers back to tell me that the engagement banquet has been canceled?"
"Is it not enough for your family to laugh at you for running away from your wedding halfway through? Do you also have to laugh at you for eloping for love?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingchen's expression immediately darkened. He looked at Uncle Ni beside him and asked, "Are they making things difficult for my uncle again?"
Uncle Ni nodded somewhat awkwardly: "The old master's health hasn't been good lately and he's been hospitalized for treatment. The stepmother has been urging you to hand over the family head's token. You're also engaged to Miss Shen from Haicheng, and you're missing such a big bargaining chip... The stepmother and the second young master definitely won't let this opportunity pass."
"These bastards!" Huo Tingchen clenched his fist.
Wu Zhao, who had overheard a bit of family secrets, curled his lip.
This big family is always full of trouble.
After observing Gu Chen's legs, Wu Zhao said, "Mr. Gu's legs weren't born unable to walk, were they? Has it been gradually becoming impossible for him to walk in the last few months?"
"It started as a stinging pain in my calves, then gradually spread until finally it felt like being cut with a knife whenever I stood on the ground?"
"Have you been feeling increasingly powerless lately, and is the pain starting to spread to your upper body? Before long, you will be paralyzed all over, eventually dying from numbness and pain without feeling anything."
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Zhao felt a chilling killing intent coming from the corner, but she smiled calmly and looked at Gu Chen.
"I can save you."
Gu Chen's gaze then fell on her. "A person who knows too much won't live long."
Wu Zhao pursed her lips innocently; to be honest, she herself didn't know how many years she had lived.
She has been guarding the gates of the underworld for three thousand years!
If it weren't for that damned Heavenly Dao bringing about his own demise, when he was clearly so weak he was about to dissipate, yet he still insisted on trying to repair some kind of Heavenly Pillar.
How could she have been guarding that damned door for so long?
The more Wu Zhao thought about it, the angrier he became, and his expression gradually darkened. "Is that so? Then do you want to look forward to how long I can live?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently turned the black ring on her finger.
Gu Chen's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the ring.
"Where did you get this ring?"
Wu Zhao looked at him with some surprise. Although the ring was given to her by someone else, it had been with her for many, many years.
It should already be considered hers, right?
Besides, she didn't even know where that guy was right now, so she simply said, "It's mine."
"Yours?" Gu Chen's expression became somewhat amused, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.
Seeing this, Huo Tingchen said, "Uh, why don't we go inside first? It's still a bit cold outside, Uncle, you can't catch a cold right now."
"Very well." Gu Chen seemed to have figured something out. He looked up at Wu Zhao and said, "I hope this young lady can keep her word and solve my current problem."
Wu Zhao also breathed a slight sigh of relief; as long as he could get close to Emperor Star to recover his strength, that was enough.
She smiled and said, "Of course, I always keep my word."
Ni Bo pushed Gu Chen's wheelchair into the villa, with Wu Zhao and Huo Tingchen following slowly behind them.
Looking at the somewhat thin Wu Zhao, Ni Bo was immediately filled with pity: "I wonder if this young lady has had dinner yet?"
Having been hungry for quite some time, Wu Zhao quickly said, "I really haven't eaten yet..."
"Tch, if you hadn't caused such a ruckus at the wedding banquet, you might have been able to get some food," Huo Tingchen couldn't help but mock her.
Wu Zhao rolled his eyes: "Then I should really watch you die and then have a big meal."
"Wow, thank you so much!"
"you are welcome!"
The two had been bickering for a while when they arrived at the villa's entrance. Gu Chen suddenly interrupted their pointless banter and asked, "Still don't know how to address this young lady?"
Wu Zhao was secretly trying to get close to Gu Chen's aura when he suddenly heard him speak and was startled.
"My name is Wu Zhao!"
Wu Zhao...
Gu Chen silently murmured her name, his expression unreadable.
"I am Gu Chen."
His voice was deep and elegant, making Wu Zhao's ears feel slightly warm.
Lost in thought, she didn't hear the other sentence Gu Chen mumbled.
...It's been a long time, my great sorcerer.
