After listening to Cen Xingbang's words, Gu Li fell into deep thought.
Her current body is undoubtedly a mutant, and she uses it quite well. It would be difficult to consider it a human body.
As for the large amount of energy brought by the energy whale within his body, Gu Li frowned, thinking, "Something that came uninvited..."
She looked at Cen Xingbang, who was leisurely sitting back on the sofa, legs crossed, swirling his wine glass, and asked, "Do you have a way to help me separate the bone whale?"
This is the best way she can think of to restore her to a human state.
The deer-headed man, who was waiting with his legs crossed for her to ask for his help, spat out a mouthful of red wine, which was blocked in front of him by the bone whale that Gu Li had subconsciously summoned.
"Why throw away what you've got? Do you know how many years the bone whale has grown to its current size? There might only be one like it in the world!"
"You somehow managed to get your hands on her, so you should be secretly happy!"
Gu Li stared blankly at the deer-headed man who had suddenly become agitated. He had been politely calling her "Miss" at first, but now he wasn't even pretending anymore.
Under the glare of the deer-headed man, Gu Li still opened his mouth to explain.
"It was completely unexpected that the bone whale would emerge from my body. It wanted to take over my consciousness and body, and then I killed it, that was all."
She pursed her lips, grabbed the bone whale's tail, lifted it up, and shook it: "If we throw it away now, we might avoid a lot of trouble."
Cen Xingbang rubbed his forehead, his voice turning somber: "Hmph, it seems Eric has failed in his duty. You completely misunderstand what kind of world this is. Power represents everything, especially for you."
He was silent for a moment, then continued, "This is the spoils of war that you defeated with your own hands, so you should keep it for now."
He raised one hand above his head and snapped his fingers, and the bone whale that Gu Li was holding was pulled away by an invisible force.
Cen Xingbang stroked his chin and said, "Since that's the case, I'll accept your request. From now on, remember to come to my place every night."
He beckoned with his finger, and the books that were originally placed next to Gu Li flew into his hand automatically.
Gu Li asked blankly, "Tonight?"
Cen Xingbang's doe-like eyes gleamed with excitement, and he said with absolute certainty, "Yes, tonight. Be careful not to die on the way. Try to get here as early as possible; I need plenty of sleep tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, everything went dark before Gu Li's eyes. When he came to his senses, he was already standing outside the door, and Lancer, who was not far away, walked over cautiously.
"So, did you get your things?"
Lancer lowered his gruff voice instinctively. He saw a look of confusion on Gu Li's face and quickly cleared his throat: "Little sister, that guy is hard to get along with anyway, don't be too upset. I can help you next time."
Gu Li's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with hopeful eyes: "Then will you come with me tonight to find Mr. Cen here?"
"ah?"
Lancer suddenly panicked and quickly retreated with Lucy, his face full of sorrow: "Little sister, I still have a younger brother to raise, how can you bear to take me with you to our deaths?"
“Hatred,” Gu Li said, his expression returning to its usual blankness. “That’s what you just said yourself.”
Lancer: "Damn it, we've only known each other for two days, little sister. I'm not qualified to die with you. You should find someone else. Think about my brother who can't take care of himself. I have my reasons."
Gu Li, carrying Lucy who had jumped onto her, rubbed the goosebumps on her body and hurried away.
The group returned to Lancer's house, where they were all tied up tightly. Lancer, who could only writhe on the ground, writhed even more wildly.
P.S.: The sturdy silver threads on his body were kindly provided by Lucy.
Lancer sighed and collapsed onto his simple bed, casually throwing all the gifts that Cen Xingbang had refused into his mouth, his cheeks distorted from the strain, his sharp mouthparts making a constant "crunching" sound.
When they receive food, they are always wary of Lucy's adoring gaze, as she is about to be killed by a lower-level species.
Lancer became even more arrogant, picking his teeth with a thin wrist: "Hey, all powerful mutants like me are like this, don't idolize me too much."
A few meters away from the two, Gu Li sat in a corner with her legs drawn up, facing the wall with her head against it, pondering how to get to the small building that night.
The ears automatically filter out the joking, farting sounds from behind.
"Little sister," a flattering voice suddenly appeared in her ear. Gu Li's eyes flickered, and she immediately deleted the plan to fly over from the sky. Those destroyed high-rise buildings were a lesson from the past.
Gu Li looked over blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lancer coughed, raising one wrist to his throat, before continuing, "Mr. Cen wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of. There must be a reason why he asked you to go to the small building tonight."
He seemed to be recalling something, his wrist tapping the ground absently: "Back then, when we jumped off the cliff of Death Plain, besides Wang, only Mr. Cen firmly believed that we could survive. He said we still had... a future."
"He and Wang led us down into the city and arranged everyone in an orderly manner. In this city of aliens, Mr. Cen is the most respected person besides Wang, but he has a bit of a bad temper."
Lancer vigorously rubbed Gu Li's head with his wrist: "Hey little sister, it's okay, you can go by yourself without worry!"
Gu Li's thoughtful expression was instantly pulled back. She grabbed the wrist that was on her head, pulled it into her claws, bit it hard, and then casually let go amidst Lancer's scream.
She stood up, dusted herself off, and her hesitation dissipated. The black fog outside arrived as expected. She walked towards the door and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
Gu Li, mimicking Lancer, casually offered a promise: "When I return after completing my studies, I will consider prioritizing helping you recover. Goodbye."
She lifted her foot, but didn't take a step. She slowly lowered her head and met Lancer's many pairs of eyes, which were filled with longing and respect. A pair of wrists tightly wrapped around her legs.
Lancer's eyes sparkled: "Wait, little sister, I suddenly remembered I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. How about we go out together?"
Gu Li felt the dense suction cups clinging to his legs, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. He stabbed his sword into the man's face, gritting his teeth, "No need for that anymore!"
To make her movements easier, she carried only a short sword, flapped her wings behind her, and slipped out the instant she pressed the doorknob.
The door behind him slammed shut, and the world before him suddenly went dark. Gu Li tensed up, gripped his sword tightly, and quickly ran in one direction, keeping a low profile, as planned.
