Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 14: A Little Bit of Mystic Shock

Wu Zhao kept watching Qing Yao and Lin Lele leave.

The anxious phantom figure also left with the two of them.

“This banquet is too boring, let’s go back,” Wu Zhao suddenly said.

Gu Chen nodded: "Alright, let's go then."

The two left before the ball began. Count Black Night, who had just finished a transaction, looked extremely grim when he learned that Gu Chen had already left.

"Useless! You can't even handle such a small task!" Count Night roared. "Where is that waitress?!"

They had prepared a good show for Gu Chen, but that woman was completely useless!

If it weren't for the fact that her gentle and delicate appearance might win him favor, Earl of the Night would never have allowed the clumsy Earl to serve in the banquet hall.

What a waste of such an adorable face!

"Sir, the ball is about to begin. Would you like to go down and dance the first dance?" a bodyguard asked from behind.

Earl of the Night took a deep breath and ordered, "I'll go down immediately. Keep an eye on Gu Chen and the others, and let me know immediately if there's any movement."

"Absolutely no accidents can happen before the auction begins!"

"Keep a close eye on that shipment. If you let another rat sneak in, you'll all be shark food with him!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Earl of the Night asked, "What happened to the rat that was caught later?"

The bodyguard behind him quickly replied, "Same as always, here you go."

He nodded in satisfaction, straightened his suit, and left.

……

The rain outside has stopped.

The sea breeze was a bit chilly at night, and Wu Zhao couldn't help but wrap his trench coat tighter.

The banquet hall is located very close to the sea, with soft sand right next to the road.

Wu Zhao kicked off her high heels and started walking barefoot on the beach.

Gu Chen silently maneuvered the wheelchair and watched her from the side.

In the quiet night, it seemed as if only these two people, one still and one moving, remained.

From afar, they could see Qingyao and Lin Lele waiting outside their villa.

Wu Zhao looked around but didn't see the soul that had been following Lin Lele before.

Lin Lele glanced at Gu Chen with some fear, then hid behind Qing Yao.

"Let's go in first," Wu Zhao said.

Hongyao, who was inside the villa, was somewhat surprised to see them return: "Did the ball end so quickly?"

"Huh, what's this little girl I don't recognize?"

Lin Lele shifted uncomfortably.

Qingyao explained, "This is Miss Wu's guest. Why don't you take her to tidy up? She just fell in the banquet hall, and we don't know if she's hurt."

Lin Lele was dressed very lightly, so Qingyao gave her his coat after they left the banquet hall.

He simply asked a few questions and didn't feel comfortable observing her closely to see if she was injured.

After Lin Lele followed Hong Yao into the room, Wu Zhao said, "She shouldn't have come to this island."

"Is there a problem with her identity?" Gu Chen asked immediately. "Should we send her away?"

Qingyao also looked at Wuzhao.

Wu Zhao shook his head: "She must be looking for someone, probably her relative."

"This relative's identity is very special; most likely... he's a... military officer?"

After careful consideration, Wu Zhaocai said, "This person's identity is very secretive, and he is engaged in a very dangerous job that cannot be easily exposed."

Qingyao was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "Could it be..."

Gu Chen looked up at him, and Qing Yao choked and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Thinking of Lin Lele's body radiating golden light of merit, Wu Zhao sighed, "It's just a pity that he's no longer here."

There was a "click" sound.

Lin Lele, who had changed her clothes and come out of the room, stood there in a daze, the bunny girl costume in her hand falling to the ground.

She stared blankly, her voice hoarse as she asked, "...You mean, who's gone?"

"Who is he? Tell me!"

The girl with the tender cheeks held back her tears and asked again and again.

Wu Zhao walked up to her and wiped away her tears: "Silly child."

The familiar tone and the familiar movements.

Lin Lele suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

"No way, you're lying..."

"Dad, Dad promised me he would come back..."

"He promised me..."

Wu Zhao pulled out a talisman from behind his back and carefully stuffed it into Lin Lele's pocket.

Lin Lele, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe, suddenly fell backward.

Hongyao quickly caught her from behind.

"Let her rest for a while," Wu Zhao said softly.

After Gu Chen saw that she had made arrangements for Lin Lele, he said, "There will be problems with the auction."

"You discovered it too?" Wu Zhao asked, somewhat surprised. "I haven't told you how you found out yet?"

She moved closer to Gu Chen, took his wheelchair, and pushed him to the sofa. Vibrant purple energy drifted around her as she approached.

After Wu Zhao sat down on the sofa, Gu Chen said, "Tonight's banquet will include not only some domestic tycoons, but also some arms dealers and foreign nobles."

Qingyao went to the kitchen to prepare tea and then casually remarked, "There's a nobleman inside with unusual tastes who likes... young children, regardless of gender."

"You mean the auction might involve...human trafficking?"

Wu Zhao frowned, a hint of coldness creeping into his eyes.

Whether it was three thousand years ago or three thousand years later, the ancestor of the divine witch, Wu Zhao, hated human traffickers!

"Perhaps that's why Lin Lele's father did this..." Qingyao guessed.

Taking the water glass from Qingyao, Wu Zhao said, "He must have died on the island. I just... saw his spirit."

Huh?! Qingyao almost knocked the water glass over his master.

“He’s been following Lin Lele around, I thought he would come over…” Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand with some confusion.

"Could it be that something was done to his body, preventing his soul from traveling too far?"

As Gu Chen watched her fiddle with the ring on her finger, he subconsciously touched his own finger.

"Can't you find it?" Gu Chen asked.

Wu Zhao shook his head helplessly.

Her current abilities are insufficient to survey the entire island...

Tsk.

Somewhat annoyed, he pulled out a few napkins from the side and began tearing up the little paper figures as if venting his anger.

Seeing the three small paper figures of different sizes and shapes appear in her hand, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile.

Qingyao didn't understand why he suddenly started doing crafts, until Wuzhao finished tearing up the paper figures and muttered a few words under his breath.

The three little paper figures stood up crookedly at the same time.

Qing Yao:? ? ?

Even someone who had seen it all couldn't help but gasp.

"This...this...—" Qingyao could barely speak.

"Go, find where this body with a similar aura is."

Wu Zhao stretched out the finger that had touched Lin Lele and poked the little paper figure.

The three little paper figures obediently stuck to the finger one by one and then jumped out of her palm.

Three small pieces of paper swayed slowly in the air for a while, and one of them even landed on Gu Chen's lap with a rather cunning move.

She secretly rubbed herself against his purple aura.

It really is a case of things resembling their owners.

Wu Zhao pretended not to see it.

Gu Chen picked up the small paper figure out of curiosity and found it sticking to his palm and rubbing against it.

"This is……?"

Feeling a bit itchy, Gu Chen looked to Wu Zhao for help.

"Ugh, hurry up and leave! Stop rubbing against me!" Wu Zhao said irritably, taking the paper figure out of Gu Chen's hand.

She had never so blatantly tried to ride on Gu Chen's aura! Wu Zhao thought with a hint of envy.

Gu Chen felt the spot she had just touched was even itchier, and couldn't help but gently touch it with her other hand.

"Wait a moment, we'll know soon if there's any news."

Wu Zhao rubbed his stomach, "I feel a little hungry..."

"I'll go cook!" Qingyao jumped up and rushed into the kitchen.

Gu Chen glanced at the tissue she had torn up and said, "You can make three little paper figures now."

“Yes,” Wu Zhao said, a hint of smugness in his voice.

It's true that being close to the planet of emperors leads to faster recovery!

"It would be great if I could touch it more often; it's a bit too slow to pull it all out myself..."

She was muttering to herself when she suddenly heard Gu Chen ask, "Where else do you want to touch?"

Still in a daze, Wu Zhao replied without hesitation, "Of course, everywhere..."

The moment his eyes met those eyes, which were like a sea of ​​stars falling into the night sky, Wu Zhao knew something was wrong.

Oops, I was careless!
