She was once just like any other young girl, who met a good man and looked forward to having children with him and spending her life with him.

But how can one escape a predetermined fate?

During the years she lived abroad, she cut off contact with her clan, thinking she could live a simple but happy life in anonymity.

But with the birth of the twins, the gears of fate brought her back to the predetermined path, one from which she could neither escape nor break free.

“In that case, I have one more request,” Gu Xu suddenly said.

Madam Luo snapped out of her thoughts. "What are your requirements?"

Gu Xu: "I want to spend the night with Zhuo Zhuo."

Madam Luo immediately gave a meaningful smile, "Alright, but you only have three hours. We will hold the ceremony in three hours."

It gets dark early in the mountains. Although it felt like a long time had passed, it was only a little past nine o'clock.

Three hours later, at midnight, when the yin energy is at its strongest, it is the most suitable time to hold the sacrificial summoning ritual.

Several women were about to take Mingzhuo away when Madam Luo said, "Wait a moment."

She suspected that Gu Xu was using this as a delaying tactic, after all, Ming Zhuo had a reputation for being treacherous and cunning.

Several women stepped forward and examined Mingzhuo carefully again. They found that Mingzhuo did indeed have a lot of yin energy on his body, and they were relieved.

After all, those resentful spirits are incredibly powerful; how could a flesh-and-blood body possibly withstand them?

Mingzhuo also dutifully played the role of being controlled, enduring the attempts by several women to tear off her clothes.

Those people didn't seem to want to have much contact with her. They hurriedly put something on Mingzhuo's head and pushed her into a room.
