Chapter 2266: You Are Strangling Me
"The only exceptions to the accelerated aging are the ones with spiritual power. For the common people, they will not usually live to more than 60 years old. This situation may have something to do with the weather, so there is nothing we can do to change it," Hua Zhichun explained the situation to Gu Xijiu. That seemed like the only logical explanation.
Gu Xijiu observed the sky and realized that today would be another day of Blood Rain. The wizardry barrier had just been activated to keep the citizens safe. After some time, the rain and bats continued to fall onto the barrier. The cracking sound made it feel like doomsday had approached.
Yun Yanli was obviously practicing some sort of sorcery. If he was the one who had created the wizardry barrier, then there must be something else going on about it. Gu Xijiu guessed that the aging of the people here might have something to do with the wizardry barrier. Other than serving as a protective layer, it would probably absorb their vitality as well.
At this moment, the thoughts only remained as her speculations. She did not voice them out, for fear that she would create unnecessary panic among the people. After a brief gathering, she returned to the same guest inn. Like clockwork, she would usually check on the room next to her first. This time, what she found in the room came as a shock.
It was Di Fuyi’s room, but his sheets were gone! More accurately speaking, all of his belongings were gone. Anxiously, she teleported straight into the owner’s room. It was already late at night, and the owner was getting ready for bed. While he was removing his outer robes, Gu Xijiu appeared right in front of him!
Taken by utter surprise, he was obviously at a loss for words. "Where are the things in Di Fuyi’s room? Did he come and collect them?" Gu Xijiu questioned him while grabbing his collar.
The owner suffocated under her tight grip. "You... You should let me... You are strangling me."
