Shock! The Evil Emperor actually pampered the entire cultivation world

Seeing the question mark on her face, the little girl seemed to understand something and her expression changed slightly.

"Aren't you from Jialan? I wonder why I've never seen you before with your appearance like this! This shouldn't be the case..."

Zhu Jiu bit the sugar man and asked, "What did your aunt insult you about?"

She felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the people in this city.

The guards at the city gate just now seemed to be of all ages and genders, and the combination was very strange.

The little girl explained as a matter of course: "I'm already thirty years old, and you still call me a kid, it's an insult!"

"You are a foreigner, you should be only seventeen or eighteen now, hey, then you have to call me aunt!"

Zhu Jiu was shocked: "How much?!"

She wanted to use her spiritual sense to explore the girl's bone age, but her soul was too incomplete and her cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Stage, so she couldn't use it at all.

The other person knew that she didn't understand, and suddenly seemed to have found a new person to talk to. He put down the sugar spoon, pointed at the sky and cursed angrily.

"It's all because of that poisonous miasma. It's poisonous and has caused great harm to the people of Jialan City!"

"Children never grow up, and young people age extremely fast!"

Zhu Jiu ate the candy man while listening, and soon learned the whole story.

The gray and black poisonous miasma in the Shifang Mountains has actually been around for a long time and there has never been any problem.

It was not until twenty years ago that young people began to grow shorter and young and middle-aged people aged faster. The city lord invited monks from outside to investigate and found out that this poisonous miasma would actually corrode the body over a long period of time.

In other words, the people in Jialan City who look like children are not actually children, and their ages are about 20 years old.

The person who looks like an old man is not really an old man. His age should be reduced by twenty.

"Not only that, this damn poisonous miasma has caused the birth rate in Jialan City to drop sharply every year!"

"Even if they are born, many of them will be stillborn!"

"Since five years ago, there haven't been any newborns!"

The girl sighed deeply when she said this, feeling melancholy and worried. "If this continues, Jialan City will perish sooner or later, even before the monsters attack. Sigh."

After a moment of frowning, she looked at Zhu Jiu with pity, "You are also unlucky to end up in our Jialan City. In the future, you will be the same as us."

As she spoke, her expression became stiff and strange again, "But you are the same as us now."

Before Zhu Jiu understood the meaning of these words, the girl saw her serious expression and her eyes brightened up, and hope ignited in her.

"But you don't have to worry. We have a young city lord in our city. When the young city lord becomes a true disciple of a large sect, he will definitely be able to get help from high-level cultivators."

"You're quite lucky if you think about it this way..." She muttered darkly while staring at Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu wanted to ask again, but Feng Zhiyi had already bought the chestnut cakes and came over.

The former stared at him for a while, until he felt uncomfortable, then he took the chestnut and nodded stiffly: "Thank you, uncle, you look very young."

He then handed the candy man to her, "Uncle, please eat it."

Feng Zhiyi's eyelids jumped: "???" What uncle? Uncle what?

"Puchi——" the little girl covered her mouth and laughed, "Young City Lord is different from us. Young City Lord has a sword embryo to protect his body, so he is immune to poisonous miasma!"

"Oh..." Zhu Jiu's eyebrows rippled slightly, and he suddenly reacted.

Something is wrong. Even if Feng Zhiyi has grown twenty years older, it is still not even a fraction of her age.

It's just bigger than frost on the moon.

When the little girl saw the two of them walking together and being quite close, she immediately looked at her daughter-in-law with the same eyes as before.

Zhu Jiu decisively grabbed Feng Zhiyi and ran away.

The little girl shouted angrily: "Come back to me! You haven't given me the spirit stone yet!"

Zhu Jiu had no money, so she looked at Feng Zhiyi, who also had no money. He laughed and said, "Go to the City Lord's Mansion to find my father!"

……

The city lord's mansion was quite simple and deserted, mostly abandoned, with few servants, and they were all men doing rough work.

People who practice Taoism don't usually focus on enjoyment, Zhu Jiu doesn't care about it at all, and Feng Zhiyi doesn't think too much about it either.

But just as she was entering, the girl who had followed her rushed up. She was very anxious and gasping for breath. When she saw her, surprise appeared in her eyes.

Several tall figures came after her, cursing and panting, "Little bitch, your father has sold you to Chunyanlou, where else do you want to run!"

"He's not big, but he can run fast!"

Chunyanlou is the most prosperous tavern in the city center, about a quarter of an hour's walk away. Zhu Jiu happened to pass by it when he was following Feng Zhiyi on his sword.

Now it seems that it is more than just a tavern.

When the people who were chasing him saw Feng Zhiyi, their fierce expressions changed, they scratched their heads and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, it's the young city lord, why aren't you resting so late?"

Feng Zhiyi frowned, stepped forward to block the girl behind him, and his handsome face was rarely serious. "What are you doing?"

Several people looked bitter.

"I didn't do anything, Young City Lord. It was this little girl who didn't follow the rules and was sold to us. The contract of sale has been signed, and she has received the spirit stones. Both parties agreed to it. Now she suddenly regrets it. How can this be justified!"

As he said this, he took out the indenture from his lapel and showed it to me, with the words clearly written in black and white.

The girl clutched the corner of her clothes, and a pair of big tearful eyes on her skinny face looked at Zhu Jiu with pleading eyes and anxious explanations.

"No, sister. My father was ill in bed and weak. They forced him to sign!"

The faces of several people darkened and they shouted with ferocious eyes, "Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!" Then they all came up and grabbed the girl's hair.

The girl was so frightened that she shrank her shoulders and subconsciously hid behind Zhu Jiu. The purple marks on her wrists were extremely conspicuous.

Zhu Jiu judged that this was a real girl.

Feng Zhiyi saw this, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Uncle Zhang is still doing this kind of business of forcing people?"

Seeing Feng Zhiyi's expression, several people knew that things were not going well, and said in embarrassment: "Young City Lord, she was an outsider who came here unexpectedly with her father three years ago. Why do you have to meddle in her business?"

"Besides, the city lord and the host are comrades who fought side by side..."

Feng Zhiyi frowned, looking a little disgusted, "I'll buy her back for whatever price her father sold her for."

In his opinion, it is hard to imagine that there would be such a thing as selling one's own children.

Several people looked at each other, not wanting to speak, but thinking of Uncle Zhang's iron-blooded tactics, they still lowered their heads and reported the number, "One hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Feng Zhiyi's face became even worse, and disbelief flashed across his clear eyes. How could someone sell his daughter just for a mere one hundred low-grade spirit stones?

He thought for a moment, then lowered his head to untie the jadeite ornament from his waist. Several people were shocked, "Young City Lord, this cannot be done. This jadeite is used to suppress your heart pain! How can you take it off!"

The girl hiding behind Zhu Jiu also showed shock, and her hands gripping the corner of her clothes loosened.

Feng Zhiyi had a cold face, raised his hand and threw it into the air, "I will redeem it in a few days. Take this to Uncle Zhang and tell him not to bother this girl in the future."

The chalcedony was precious and extremely important to their young city lord, so several people rushed to receive it.

The crimson jade fell through the air, and light shone through it, refracting a dark red light.

The light was caught by a pair of green jade hands, with slender wrists and the red and white background, which was extremely charming and moving.

Zhu Jiu casually hooked the chalcedony belt, and when several people were staring at her hands in a daze, she casually threw a bag of spirit stones into their empty hands.

Her voice was light, soft and cold even.

"Take it and get out of here."
