PFC Chapter 196 Are they really going to kill me to silence me?
Chapter 196 Are they really going to kill me to silence me?
Wu Zhao's lips twitched slightly as he pressed his finger against the ring.
Suddenly, I felt a little regretful for summoning this demon.
"You idiot, bring him back right now!" Wu Zhao said to the ring, speechless. "And if you show up like this again, I'll throw you into the Yellow Springs for a good wash."
Nana's expression turned somewhat regretful upon hearing her words.
Then, under the masked man's eerie gaze, she transformed from a radiant beauty into... a young boy.
"Sigh, what a pity." Nana touched her face, then looked at the masked man: "Since you're here, you can come with me."
He reached out to grab the masked man.
"You dare!" The face beneath the mask tensed, and he quickly backed away, trying to escape.
To everyone's surprise, Nana simply stood still and made a pinch in the air, and the masked man who was trying to escape was trapped in mid-air by an invisible force.
"This is so boring. I rarely get to come out like this..."
He muttered something and vanished into thin air in an instant.
……
The capital city. The Gu family's villa.
Gu Chen, who was handling matters in his study, seemed to sense something and looked up at the dark night outside the window.
He muttered under his breath, "The second and...the twelfth..."
"Zhaozhao...the more dangerous something is, the more adept you are at handling it...?"
A dark figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Chen.
The visitor knelt down and said in a deep voice, "Master, over at the Yellow Springs Gate—"
"The door is fine," Gu Chen said calmly. "Po Jun, you can't assume there's something wrong with the door just because you sensed the power of the Demon God."
"Your primary responsibility... is to guard the Heavenly Pillar."
Po Jun's expression shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "But Master, the Divine Witch is inherently difficult to control. It was because her power went out of control that the Heavenly Pillar collapsed. You no longer have the strength to repair the Heavenly Pillar once more."
"I just don't want you to waste your energy... She has no feelings for anyone and won't fall in love easily. All you're doing is—"
With a "bang," Gu Chen slammed the document in his hand shut, interrupting Po Jun's words.
He pressed his temples, his tone indifferent: "Po Jun, are you questioning my decision?"
"Master, I dare not." Po Jun lowered his head, his voice already carrying a hint of heaviness. "But you yourself know very well that time is running out."
Time... Gu Chen's eyes darkened.
He sighed and looked out the window again.
In the darkness of night, silver lightning flashed faintly within the inky clouds.
"It's alright, as long as I'm here, I can protect her."
Po Jun remained silent.
"Master, I respect your decision. I just hope that you... won't regret it."
After saying this, Po Jun disappeared.
The study fell into a long silence until Gu Chen raised his hand and turned off the desk lamp.
A suppressed sigh echoed in the pitch-black room.
It carried a hint of trembling.
"Zhao Zhao..."
……
The Wu family.
Wu Xingyun looked at the woman lying on the ground with the mask hanging from her ear and asked curiously, "Who is she?"
He then glanced at the boy casually clinging to Wu Zhao's feet, "And who is he?"
Nana stretched and leaned against Wu Zhao's leg: "Master, I haven't seen you in so long. Phoenix has been by your side for so long, you can't favor one over the other!"
"Hand over my Yin servant first." Wu Zhao kicked his leg, but couldn't get rid of this sticky plaster.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Nana said, reaching into her chest and pulling out a thin, long, slender ghost.
Wu Xingyun: ...?!
Shen Qingqing finally regained her figure, only to find Nana looking dazed again.
Wasn't the person who saved her a great beauty?
"Master!" But she quickly remembered something important and handed the things she had painstakingly stolen to Wu Zhao.
A familiar finger bone was lying prominently in the palm of her hand.
"It's been a while since I've seen Zhe Gutou, I really miss him." Wu Zhao shrugged.
Shen Qingqing had been inside Wu Zhao's ring, so she naturally knew about the finger bone inside. Therefore, after seeing the same thing at the Nie family's house, her first thought was to bring it back to Wu Zhao.
She just didn't expect that even though she thought she had hidden it well, she was still discovered when she stole the finger bone.
If she hadn't detonated the Heavenly Thunder Talisman given to her by Wu Zhao, she wouldn't even have been able to leave the Nie family.
"Did you find this at the Nie family's residence?" Wu Zhao inserted the finger bone into the ring. "Does the Nie family have any other strange items?"
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment before saying, "The lady of the Wu family has been imprisoned by the Nie family."
"My aunt!" Wu Xingyun exclaimed, "The Nie family is really out of their minds! My aunt is already a member of the Wu family, so why are they still holding onto her!"
Wu Zhao twirled the ring and asked again, "Are there many members of the Witch Saint Cult in the Nie family?"
"I didn't notice that, but I sensed a slightly unpleasant aura." Shen Qingqing said uncertainly, "I feel that the Nie family is very strange. However, after I saw that finger bone, I took it away first."
"I escaped after being discovered, and I was unable to observe the Nie family any longer."
Nodding, Wu Zhao said, "Your Yin body is seriously injured. Go back to the ring and rest well."
After Shen Qingqing returned to the ring, Wu Zhao looked at Wu Xingyun and said, "Go and see your uncle. If he is not resting, ask him to come over."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Feeling a little bored, Nana clung to Wu Zhao's leg and whine, "Master, what interesting thing are you planning to do this time?"
"I think the world is quite interesting now; there are so many things I've never seen before."
Wu Zhao glanced at him and then said, "Indeed, it is now three thousand years later, Nar."
"Call me Nana!" the boy pouted, dissatisfied. "Then, Master, shall we have some fun in the human world?"
Are humans still as delicious as they were three thousand years ago?
His expression was innocent, but what he said was chilling.
"Do you want to be struck by lightning?" Wu Zhao said irritably. "Don't think that the Heavenly Punishment won't strike you down three thousand years from now?"
Nana said somewhat discontentedly, "With my master here, I'm not afraid of this damned Heavenly Tribulation."
He rubbed against Wu Zhao's leg and said, "Didn't Master still destroy the Heavenly Pillar when he led us back then?"
"The way of Heaven is nothing more than this!"
A vein bulged on Wu Zhao's forehead as he coldly snapped, "Shut up! Nar, do you know what you're saying?!"
Realizing she was truly angry, Nana shrank back slightly: "Fine, I won't say anything then..."
A thud. A sound of something falling to the ground came from outside the door.
Nar's expression turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, Wu Xingyun rushed in from outside the door.
His expression was somewhat tense, "Ancestor..."
"Oh, you heard that?" Nar touched his hair with amusement, looking at the expressionless Wu Zhao.
He asked, "Should we kill him, my master?"
