Chapter 257 Even a single meeting won't do.
"Yan Xuzhe wants to see Shen Qingqing, right?"
Wu Xingyun asked uncertainly.
"Because I haven't asked you, I don't dare to agree to his request."
"But... you wanted to adopt the child who was with him before, and although he agreed, he wanted to use this to meet you."
Although the request wasn't unreasonable, it was difficult for Wu Xingyun to agree to.
"If he doesn't want to see me, I have ways to get him to agree."
Gu Chen sat down next to him, holding a cup of coffee.
Wu Zhao shook his head.
"I also wanted to see him, so I naturally wouldn't refuse since he made this request."
"You go make arrangements."
She glanced at Wu Xingyun as she spoke.
"Okay, I'll ask him when he's free. We can bring the little boy along, and then he can be adopted?"
After Wu Xingyun finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Chen again.
Wu Zhao had no objection; she was not qualified to adopt Xiao Xuan.
"Well, yes."
Gu Chen had already arranged everything and was just waiting for the person to arrive.
"I'm going to take a nap now, after I've eaten my fill."
Stretching, Wu Xingyun went straight upstairs.
Phoenix popped out of Wu Zhao's hair and tilted his little head.
"Master, why do you still want to see this human?"
"Don't you hate him?"
The Yin servant named Shen Qingqing was heartbroken for a long time because of this human.
"I dislike him, but that doesn't stop me from getting some crucial information from him."
"This Yan Xuzhe suddenly appeared at this time and even adopted a child who is very special to me... Do you believe it's a coincidence?"
Wu Zhao felt a familiar aura emanating from Xiao Xuan, but he looked like an ordinary human child.
There were no traces of being marked by talismans or formations.
This did indeed puzzle Wu Zhao.
"Hmm...something does seem off."
Phoenix thought about it.
"Should we tell Shen Qingqing?"
Hmm... well...
Wu Zhao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Tell her, even though she probably doesn't have any feelings for this man anymore."
"If she wants to see Yan Xuzhe, then let her see him."
Phoenix flapped its wings and took flight.
"Good host."
A fiery red figure flew out of the open window.
Wu Zhao let out a soft breath, feeling slightly tired.
Gu Chen put down his coffee cup and reached out to massage her shoulder.
"What's wrong? You look really tired."
Wu Zhao pressed his temples, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know why, but lately I always feel...especially, easily...tired..."
Her voice sounded weak, and her vision blurred.
He then fell backward, but was caught by Gu Chen.
Wu Zhao, who fell into his arms, seemed to weigh nothing at all, and his breathing was very steady.
She fell asleep.
Gu Chen put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
His slender fingers gently stroked her slightly pale face.
"Zhaozhao, go to sleep."
"After waking up, I..."
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the living room, its chilling aura spreading as it appeared.
"It is you, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao."
A hoarse voice rang out, its murderous aura mingled with surging demonic energy.
In an instant, Gu Chen's dark eyes shone with golden light, and the terrifying pressure suppressed the demonic energy, making it difficult for it to move.
"Long time no see, Lord of Death... Thanatos."
A huge, jet-black scythe, gleaming with a cold, icy light, appeared in the shadowy figure's hand.
"Release my lord."
Gu Chen held Wu Zhao very gently, his fingers tenderly brushing against her face.
"I never expected there to be a demon god who is wholeheartedly loyal to her. I thought you all hated her."
After all, being imprisoned on the Demon God Pillar for eternity and losing one's freedom is extremely painful for a powerful and long-lived demon god.
"Nothing to do with you."
Danadus's eyes flashed with a blood-red light beneath his black robe, showing no fear of Gu Chen's aura.
"I'm starting to get curious myself..."
Gu Chen seemed not to see the giant scythe at all; the entire space seemed to freeze.
"You are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. You caused my lord to sleep in the Yellow Springs for three thousand years, and now you want to use her to repair the damaged Heavenly Pillar."
Danadus indifferently exposed Gu Chen's plan.
"Well……"
Gu Chen felt Wu Zhao in his arms move, and his expression changed.
"Leave before I have any intention to kill you."
He raised his hand and patted Wu Zhao, his voice gentle and low.
"It's alright, Zhao Zhao, go to sleep."
Danadus's pupils contracted for a moment beneath his hood as he looked at Gu Chen's actions with some confusion.
"I will keep my eyes on you, incarnation of the Heavenly Dao..."
The dark figure vanished from its spot.
Gu Chen picked up Wu Zhao, and as he moved, the frozen space and time began to flow.
He gently escorted Wu Zhao back to his room.
Sweet dreams, Zhao Zhao.
Gu Chen tucked the blanket around Wu Zhao and slowly lowered his head.
A barely perceptible kiss landed on Wu Zhao's forehead.
A rich aura enveloped Wu Zhao like a thin blanket.
……
three days later.
Xiao Xuan nervously followed Yan Xuzhe into the Gu family's villa.
Qingyao, who was watering the flowers in the yard, put down the hose when she saw them.
"Mr. Yan, this way please."
As soon as the two people, one big and one small, entered the villa, they saw Wu Zhao eating snacks and Wu Xingyun gesturing and talking excitedly beside him.
A complex look flashed in Yan Xuzhe's eyes.
He then walked up to Wu Zhao and gently pushed Xiao Xuan towards him.
"Miss Wu, I've brought Xiao Xuan with me."
"I just want to talk to you alone, that will only take ten minutes, no, five minutes."
Wu Zhao raised his eyes.
The man in front of her was completely different from the Yan Xuzhe she had met before.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight; his once handsome face looked gaunt and harsh due to the thinness.
His appearance has changed...
"It seems that Mr. Yan is not doing as well as I imagined."
Wu Zhao stood up and pointed to the garden outside.
"Let's go, I'll give you five minutes."
The two walked towards the garden, one after the other.
Wu Xingyun looked at the two people's backs with some worry.
In the study on the second floor, Gu Chen stroked a book without turning the pages.
"Zhao Zhao..."
He mumbled something under his breath.
Yan Xuzhe watched Wu Zhao's retreating figure, his emotions somewhat unreadable.
"Are you thinking that if you pulled out that gun right now, you could take me out in an instant?"
Wu Zhao's voice came from in front of him.
Yan Xuzhe stiffly pressed his hand against his chest, where there was a bulge that seemed to be stuffed with something.
"How...how did you know—"
He was speechless for a moment.
Wu Zhao smiled knowingly and sighed, "Mr. Yan, do you really think that with my abilities, your weapon can hurt me?"
“I can stand here without moving and you won’t hurt me in the slightest.”
"It might even directly cause you to... reap what you sow."
She shook her head.
“Your relationship with Shen Qingqing is over, Yan Xuzhe.”
