As soon as Gu Li opened the picture, a male voice came from behind her.
"Miss Gu Li, I've been looking everywhere for you. What are you doing here all alone?"
The young man was wearing a black bespoke suit and had a fairly handsome face. His intense gaze made Gu Li raise an eyebrow.
Gu Li was looking him over.
Theodore raised his chin even higher and placed a glass of red wine in front of Gu Li: "I wonder if I would have the honor of having a drink with you."
Now all that can be seen is the chestnut husk in his nostrils: ...
She was a little thirsty: "Who are you?"
Theodore: "I am Theodore Best, the eldest son of the Best family. You may call me Theodore."
"Mr. Best, is there something you need?"
Gu Li picked up her wine glass and took a sip, her thoughts still lingering on the photograph.
Has He Shiyi recovered?
Why didn't he tell her?
Theodore sat down opposite Gu Li with a natural expression: "You can call me Theodore, that's your privilege."
"I was simply drawn to you, and couldn't help but move closer to you."
Gu Li paused in his drinking, a shiver running through him, and turned a fresh look at Theodore in front of him.
If I'm not mistaken, is this guy here to pick her up?
When Theodore saw her pause, he pressed on: "I was attracted to you the first time I saw you. You are the most beautiful and special woman I have ever met."
He reached into his suit pocket and took something out.
"Excuse me, could you..."
Gu Li watched him hand over the item with a subtle expression. Before she could see it clearly, a loud bang came from the window beside them.
Several dark figures darted in.
Her expression changed, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Theodore by the collar and threw him away, her fingertips brushing against the pendant at her waist.
A long sword landed in her hand, and without turning her head, she thrust it backward, then turned around, her black and red cloak billowing behind her.
With powerful legs encased in calf socks, he pushed off the ground, launching himself into the air, his knee slamming into the person's chin with a loud thud.
The attacker, who appeared out of nowhere, was thrown out like a rag doll.
Several other dark figures attacked Gu Li at the same time. She looked at the large crowd in the banquet hall and sighed slightly.
Gu Li stood there expressionless, her hand gripping the long sword began to throb. With a heart-wrenching cry of "Be careful!", several people moved within a meter of her.
The bright red blood appeared like ribbons, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, binding their hands and feet together.
One man struggled to lift his head, and crisp footsteps stopped right beside him. A long sword gleaming with a cold light was pressed against his neck.
Who are you?
The entire sequence of events, from the moment the man appeared to the moment he lay on the ground with a sword pressed against his neck, took only a few dozen seconds.
Some people in the audience didn't even have time to scream before the attacker was already lying down.
While Gu Li was questioning the people, the guards rushed over and, with practiced ease, took the group away.
We also conducted another thorough investigation of the site.
The banquet ended hastily, and Gu Li inexplicably let out a sigh of relief as she walked out of the building, quickening her pace.
"Wait! Miss Gu Li, wait for me!"
She turned around and saw Theodore running towards her, panting, his eyes shining as he looked at Gu Li.
Just as Gu Li was thinking about how to refuse him, Theodore pulled out the autograph board from his pocket again.
"I'm your fan! Please sign your autograph for me!"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Lancer covered his face and repeated, "Please sign your name for me, hahahahahahaha!"
Gu Li walked by with a stern face, and kicked him in the butt: "You better pray that I don't catch you doing anything wrong."
Even Cecil, who had come along to pick up Gu Li, chuckled.
"It seems that Mr. Best is really Gu Li's number one fan."
She opened the virtual screen and zoomed in on it in front of everyone. It showed Theodore's personal account, which turned out to be a big influencer with millions of followers.
The pinned video is his latest edit, with a cover image of a giant silver beast leaping from the full moon.
Even Gu Li had to admit that he took the screenshot at the perfect time.
The behemoth's body was sleek and magnificent, and the moonlight fell on her silver scales, making her look like a meticulously crafted work of art.
But those cold blue eyes, under the moonlight, surprisingly revealed a hint of divinity.
The latest news about Theodore is a photo of him and Gu Li taken from an unexpected angle, along with his framed autograph that is being treasured.
Caption: I finally met Lili today! She looked so beautiful in that little dress. I finally mustered up the courage to get her autograph, and I'm going to add it to my collection!
Gu Li felt a rare moment of embarrassment.
It's hard to believe that she actually has fans, let alone a large number of them, but it's even more frightening that her casually written signature was passed down as a family heirloom by a nobleman.
With mixed feelings, she stepped off the spaceship and entered the military building. As soon as she entered the office, she was greeted by a burst of fireworks that covered her face.
Welcome back!
The complex thoughts in Gu Li's mind were instantly cleared away by everyone's familiar smiling faces, and she subconsciously put on a smile.
The banquet began with Cecil raising his glass, and Gu Li enjoyed the unlimited drinks and small cakes prepared by Cecil.
But when things happen to the Eleventh Army, they tend to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Even when Cecil, who was drunk and acting crazy, was grabbing him and sticking to him, the situation was still under control.
It wasn't until Angel suddenly transformed into a higher form that Gu Li completely lost control when Cecil forced him to drink a cup of colorful liquor.
