Gui Qi slowly turned his head. He started searching for some words of honey to say in his head, but a hand rushed out to grip his throat tightly.
He subconsciously loosened his hold on the grey rat before both his hands flew up to claw at the vice-like grip on his throat.
He realized then that the hand at his throat was shielded by wisps of vital energy that flowed constantly around it. His hands were blocked and he couldn't touch the hand at all.
Gui Qi subconsciously prepared to cast magic before he realized that the vital energy shielded the entire body of its captive. With Gui Qi's capabilities, he would never be able to hurt the person at all.
Once the grey rat landed on the ground, it escaped with its tail between its legs. It knew that the visitor had no need to bother it.
