Surrounded by onlookers, Gu Li, whose field of vision gradually rose higher, exclaimed in amazement, his eyes shining.
Is her ability so useful that it can be used right now...?
Before she could finish enjoying it, the starlight in her hand had run out, and the large, water-balloon-like head pressed against her palm remained unchanged.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Gu Li's heart. Amidst the complicated yet somewhat frightened gazes of the crowd, she leaped down.
Levi first noticed something was wrong in everyone's eyes, but at this moment the afterglow of the starlight in his body had not yet faded, and he had no time to pay attention to the changes in his body.
Following the gaze of the crowd, Gu Li first saw a pair of bare legs with firm, well-defined muscles, smooth lines, and a whiteness that had been hidden from the sun for many years.
She nodded silently; apart from wearing thermal pants, she had a pair of nice legs.
She slowly looked up along the legs, and as soon as her gaze fell on the tentacles hanging down to the thighs, her vision was plunged into darkness.
Then her body was suddenly lifted into the air; she was being carried away as if she were flying away at high speed.
Gu Li gasped in astonishment, his mouth agape. Behind him, Lanse's furious voice echoed: "**You freak, are you a pervert?** Get him dressed right now, or I'll change him back right now! If you keep hanging around in front of me, I'm going to get a sty!!"
Then she seemed to hear someone scream in agony.
In the pitch black, Gu Li belatedly blushed and awkwardly patted the shoulder carrying her: "Okay, Eric, you can put me down now."
Unexpectedly, even after becoming the king's representative, her first attempt to use starlight with all her might failed to achieve the desired effect, and she even caused this blunder.
Gu Li wiped his face. Was Levi now being treated like a servant serving fish?
She held her forehead, trying her best to banish the image that was so disturbing to the mere thought of it from her mind, and a feeling of apology welled up from her heart.
She was the one who wronged Levi, causing him to lose face in public!
In the alien city, only Eric and Cen Xingbang could carry her like that. Gu Li could vaguely smell the salty smell of the sea on this person.
That must be Eric who brought back goods from the dock.
Sure enough, she sensed that after the two entered a door, the cover in front of her disappeared, and what appeared before her was not only Eric wearing a long frock coat and a white bow tie, which completely covered his neck.
There was also Cen Xingbang, dressed in a black suit, sitting back on a single sofa.
A thin twig emerged from a piece of dark gray, gelatinous substance on the coffee table next to Cen Xingbang. It swayed slightly as if to greet her when she looked over.
Gu Li confirmed that it was Cecil.
Suddenly being led into an indoor room where only a few of them were present, Gu Li's smile vanished for a moment as she scanned them with her eyes.
"What's going on? Did they go back on their word?"
Gu Li sat down on the sofa opposite Cen Xingbang with Eric pressing her shoulders down. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she had a feeling that they were hiding something from her.
At this moment, the pain that felt like it was gnawing at her bone marrow all the time gradually intensified. Gu Li's hands, which were resting on the sofa armrest, gradually tightened, and her thin knuckles turned bluish-white.
She had run out of nutritional supplements, yet she gritted her teeth and refused to ask for their help, as if she would lose if she opened her mouth first.
Gu Li insisted on hearing them finish speaking first. If she showed any weakness, these people would definitely take the blame themselves and wouldn't say a word to her.
Cecil shifted uneasily in the basin, wanting to speak first.
But Cen Xingbang pinched the branch, and with a "snap," it could no longer make a sound.
Gu Li's gaze shifted from the hand to the deer-headed man. The man indeed had no intention of keeping her in suspense, but his serious gaze made her a little scared.
It was as if she had an incurable disease.
“When Cecil treated you, it took him more effort than others. He mistakenly thought that the body of the Child of Light was different from that of the aliens, so it was normal that he was somewhat exhausted in the process.”
Gu Li stared at him, then sat up slightly. Did she really have a problem with her body?
Eric sat down beside her, his tone soothing: "Based on our research over this period of time, we have roughly determined one thing: Miss Gu Li, you have been poisoned."
Gu Li: ...I don't really understand you alien species. Isn't this a big deal?
Cen Xingbang continued, "It's probably a toxin that Miss had hidden in her body before she came to the City of Aliens. If left untreated, an ordinary person probably wouldn't last more than three days."
"But Miss is a child of light. Before she was fully awakened, her faint starlight was used by her body to resist the damage caused by the toxin. As the two forces in Miss's body become stronger, the toxin also becomes stronger."
Cecil nodded vigorously: "That's right. Originally, it wouldn't have much of an impact, at most it would just offset some starlight, but it actually grows inside the human body along with it! This is beyond my prediction!"
Upon suddenly hearing that there was a growth-type debuff within her body, Gu Li touched her body with a somewhat complicated feeling.
Just how much did those people who exiled her to the Plain of Death want her dead?
She thought of what the fully armed squad leader had said on the Death Plains.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Gu, you have been contaminated. According to federal regulations, we must remove you on the spot."
But the contamination on her body was clearly acquired unconsciously when she fell off the cliff and was rescued by Wang. So what about the toxins in her body...?
Cen Xingbang glanced at Cecil, who dared not continue, and then said, "Currently, the toxin is gradually eroding your vitality. In other words, most of the starlight in your body is used to control the toxin. Before we find an antidote, you must ensure that you continuously ingest a large amount of energy to maintain your body's function."
