章 2364: The Poisonous Swamp

Gu Xijiu teleported and returned to her original spot.

Dark, thundering clouds filled the entire sky, shielding the land from the sun. Peals of thunder accompanied streaks of lightning. A fierce gale sprung up, sweeping across the fields in a swaying motion. Leaves danced in the air, swirling and twisting in the gusts of wind.

The bonfire died out in the wind, and only the bamboo tree stood unmoving.

Gu Xijiu needed to stay calm at all times in order to contain the poison in her body from spreading. Emotional fluctuation had to be avoided at all costs. However, she could hardly keep calm after what happened. Her mood was even worse than the wild storms. She could feel a sudden rush of blood in her throat.
