Lancer, who was out hunting (just kidding), carrying a low-level weapon, looked towards home: "Hmm →"
He was instantly terrified and rushed home with a bundle of low-grade seeds in his hand.
My house exploded?!
He rushed back frantically, and in the blinding light, he slammed the door open and yelled, "Stop fighting!"
What came into view was her younger brother lying on the ground in the corner, Lucy who was invisible in the bright light, and the small silver beast with its eyes closed in the middle of the beam of light.
He closed his teary eyes, choked back tears for a moment, and said, "Alright, little sister, I believe in Guang now, so come down quickly!"
Gu Li, who had just opened her eyes, heard these words and instinctively rolled her eyes. "You should convert to your king. You almost sent an M78 to her with a proxy."
With a thought, Gu Li's head, which was about to hit the ceiling, finally began to descend. She landed on the ground and stretched her body against the wall.
"Click".
The wall she touched shattered, and at the same time, her hand bones made a rather harmonious clicking sound.
Lancer stared in disbelief, his gaze shifting between the cracked wall and her dislocated claws. What was this feeling of being both fragile and strong?
Gu Li's face turned green in the blink of an eye. Looking at his claws, which had simply been extended and then perished along with the wall, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart.
The more powerful the proxy is, the more fragile her original body becomes.
She suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, as if she had been tricked but couldn't quite put her finger on how, and walked away angrily.
"boom--"
Lancer: "My home—"
A moment later, Gu Li sheepishly joined Lancer in digging through the rubble, trying to get Lan Meng and Lucy out of the rubble. During the process, Gu Li broke his hand three times and his leg twice.
Under Lancer's watchful gaze, which was covered in cold sweat, the person was successfully rescued.
Gu Li shakily reached out and treated himself, finally standing cautiously on the street, awkwardly exchanging a glance with Lan Se, who looked utterly desolate.
She raised her hand and suggested, "Why don't we go and seek refuge with Mr. Cen?"
Ten minutes later, Gu Li, along with her family, knocked on Cen Xingbang's door. Lanse was still hesitant: "Little sister, how about I go and rob another place?"
The door in front of them suddenly opened, and the tall deer-headed man looked down at them from behind the door. His gaze slowly swept over Lancer and the other two, and finally landed on Gu Li, whose face was full of flattery.
"If I remember correctly, it's still daytime now."
Gu Li rubbed her paws together, took a step forward, and cautiously avoided touching the door: "There's been a small mishap at our place. Mr. Cen, could we stay here for a while?"
The deer-headed man raised his eyebrows high: "Stay here?"
He released his grip on the doorknob and chuckled, "You sure know how to find a place. I'll stay, but I want your blood."
Gu Li nodded decisively, deciding to hand over all the blood collected from fighting monsters that night to Mr. Cen for recycling. She excitedly took two steps forward: "Of course, Mr. Cen, which room will we stay in tonight?"
"Click".
The familiar click sound made Gu Li's back stiffen. Under the seemingly real gaze of the deer-headed man, he quietly retracted his hind paws that were stuck into the floorboards, and chuckled dryly: "Haha, is your floorboards getting a bit old?"
Gu Li tentatively took another step to the right.
"Click".
Cold sweat began to seep from the back of her head: "This was all an accident."
Under the increasingly dangerous gaze of the deer-headed man, Gu Li once again lifted his foot from the floor, trying to put it down more carefully.
She was grabbed by the armpits and lifted up. Cen Xingbang's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from above her head: "You better not move again, or you'll go to hell with my century-old elm wood floor."
Gu Li's limbs drooped listlessly, and her tail swayed limply. She turned her head and waved to the people standing at the door: "What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Lancer, with Lanmon on his arm and Lucy on his head, shuffled in and bowed to Mr. Cen: "Mr. Cen, thank you for your trouble!"
He was filled with regret. Who knew that Mr. Cen would actually agree to Gu Li's request? And who knew that the next second after agreeing, Gu Li would almost tear down Mr. Cen's living room?
Cen Xingbang, who had been carrying chestnuts with one hand instead of both, pointed to the second floor: "The innermost room upstairs is yours."
"As for you."
He casually glanced at the small silver beast in his hand, clicked his tongue, and said, "Change back to your original form, then obediently go to the next street and come in tonight to go through the proper procedures, understand?"
"Mr. Cen, perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us?"
Gu Li tilted her head and subtly puffed out her chest: "I've already tamed that whale."
Hearing this, the deer-headed man sneered, grabbed her and swung her around: "So you've become so arrogant that you accepted the king's request, making yourself look like you could lose your arms and legs at any moment?"
The sound of the window being pulled open came from inside. Gu Li, along with her suitcase, was thrown out of the small house. The deer-headed man stood at the window, chin raised: "Remember to revert to human form and come over tonight to go through the formalities."
After saying that, he slammed the window shut.
Gu Li frantically adjusted his posture in mid-air, caught the suitcase, and then grimaced as he treated himself.
She flapped her wings, and with a loud whooshing sound, she dashed out like a mad wild horse, accompanied by her agonizing screams.
Lancer shouted from the second floor in the direction she disappeared, "Little sister, we're waiting for you to come back!"
Gu Li's voice drifted from afar: "I know, remember—to—wait—for—me—to—eat!"
