Vincent felt her body tensing up and asked softly, “What’s wron

Pulling her hands away from his waist, Stephanie cleared her tubat and said, “S–So many people.”

Vincent looked over and saw that Lola, Denver, Ronan, and many people from Terodt Village were standing nearby.

Stephanie hurried to them smilingly. “You came back for me?

Lola nodded. “We went to Steop Village to get our people back, but after walking for one mile on our way home, we thought we couldn’t just leave you in Padew Village behind, so we all returned. You risked your life to save us. We can’t do that!”

And other Clusian–speaking villagers echoed.

Stephanie was touched by their bravery but also felt extremely embarrassed cause they had seen her kiss Vincent,

Ronan smiled and said, “Stephie, don’t be embarrassed. It’s common for young people to show their affection.”

Stephanie glanced stealthily at Denver, whose face was extremely gloomy.

Denver treated Stephanie as his granddaughter. He felt upset that she would fall in love with such a man..

Ronan glanced at Denver and said, “How do you know what love is like when you don’t even have your first kiss?

Denver glared at Ronan fiercely and said, “What a jerk! What nonsense are you talking about? Let’s get

Denver looked at Stephanie and asked, “How did the head of the Poadew Village agree to let you go?”

Stephanie told them how she had put Dorian down, taught Zaiden and his family a lesson, and her plan of letting Louisa treat Dorian

Lola was stunned. “Stephanie, Ms. Lambert doesn’t know anything about medicine.”

Stephanie smiled. “The treatment won’t be complicated. She just needs to needle him once a month on insignificant acupoints and useful acupoints once every three months to get his hopes up. This kind of scumbag deserves to suffer both physically and mentally.”

Vincent felt that Stephanie was a little scheming. But even so, he still found her cute.

Lola gave a thumbs up. “Stephanie, you are so awesome!”

Ronan said proudly, “Of course. Don’t forget who her mentor is!

Denver glanced at him and said, “That’s my protégée. What does it have to do with you?”

Ronan defiantly said, “Stephie is also my protégée.

Denver snorted and left with his hands behind his back.

Ropan snorted and then looked at Stephanie and Vincent. “Go on. We’ll get out of here now!”

His words left Stephanic and Vincent embarrassed.

Everyone slowly walked toward the Terodt Village, followed by Stephanie and Vincent.

“I don’t think Poadew Village and Steop Village will give up so easily,” said Vincent.

Stephanie narrowed her eyes and said, “I hope this problem can be completely solved while we are still here”

Vincent wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said, “This counts on themselves. As is the rule, only when one is strong enough can they survive.”

Stephanie agreed with that. They had to be more powerful than their adversary to prevent themselves from being invaded.

Terodi Village came alive once more after the residents returned home

The kids started searching for their parents; those who were fortunate enough to find them were ecstatic, while those who didn’t were inconsolable and sobbing.

Some people didn’t survive the torture after they were taken away.

Stephanie and Vincent stood aside, feeling distressed.

After a while. Stephanie asked, “Vincent, do you notice somethi

Vincent said, “Except for Ms. Lambert, all the villagers are under 50 years old. There is no the elderly left.”

Stephanie nodded. “Yes, why? I’m going to ask about it.”

She went to the log cabin to find Louisa and inquired about it.

Louisa sighed, “Speaking of which, it has something to do with me. My late husband was the son of the former Terodi Village chief. He ran away from home and met me because he did not agree to engage with the daughter of the former -Steop Village chief. We fell in love with each other, married, and returned here when I got pregnant. His parents were happy their son finally had his own family, but they were also worried that the chief would come to ask for an explanation because his daughter had always been arrogant and imperious. Sure enough, people from Steop Village arrived on the second day after we returned. They took hundreds of our cattle and sheep as compensation. And they occupied our most fertile land. What was worse, the chief’s daughter cursed us that our villagers would not live to be older than 50 and I wouldn’t have children in this lifetime.

She was in tears. “The curse took effect the following day. Villagers over 50 years old started to pass away one after another. And I had a miscarriage when I was five months pregnant. Within less than three months, all the villagers over fifty were gone. But the villagers did not blame me for that but consoled nie. Without exception, my late husband passed away when he was fifty. But I didn’t die at that age probably because I am not from Parasopolis. As you can see, we don’t have many kids in the village. Everyone takes contraceptive measures after marriage because they believe they will die before fifty years old, but since it is unavoidable, they end up having children”

Stephanie was shocked because she never believed in the curse.

She gave it some thought before saying, “Can I examine you?”

Louisa nodded and stretched out her wrist. “Of course.”

Stephanie put her fingers on Louisa’s wrist but found nothing unusual.

At that time, Lola came in holding Elvis in her arms.

Stephanie frowned when examining them because it was like two pulses beating alternately.

To prove her guess, she went to Denver and explained it. The two immediately sent Lola to get all the villagers to come for a pulse diagnosis.

All the 453 people had this same problem with their pulses.

Stephanie and Denver looked at each other with serious expressions.

Chapter 191

Stephanie said, “You’re not cursed at all. A parasite is living inside of you. When bodily functions started to deteriorate around the age of 50 parasites began to attack their hosts. That why people in your village tlie under the age of 50. Ms. Lambert is not from Parasopolis, and that is probably why she doesn’t have the same problem. Looks like this parasite only affects the locals”

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

If this was not a curse, it would be an act of retaliation.
