Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1074: With You Always (219)

Gu Lili turned her head, "What’s the matter?"

His eyes glinted coldly, "You won’t be able to rescue Gu Xichen. If you insist on trying, you’ll be skinned alive if you don’t die trying."

Gu Lili said nothing and left.

Rong Fei watched her disappearing direction and pressed his lips together.

"Young Master." Ah Da reported softly, "Everything is ready."

"Hmm, this time, it’s success or nothing. If we fail, be prepared to lose your head."

Ah Da replied, trembling, "Yes."

...

Gu Lili returned to the Heavenly World and briefly mentioned Rong Fei’s demand for the blue sky stone, leaving out his other words.

"The Demon World has made up its mind to refuse to release them."

"Not only that, they plan to deal with Ah Wun and Xichen." Gu Lili perceived the situation clearly, "The two of them are probably already under strict surveillance. We must rescue them before they are dealt with."

"The Demon World is sure we’ll try to rescue them, and likely they’ve set a trap waiting for us to walk right into it."

"But at this point, we can’t worry about that." Gu Lili resolved not to drag it out any longer, "First, let Ah Luo confirm where they are being held, then think of a way to rescue them."

Long Yubei and Jun Yu both agreed.

Unexpectedly, the Demon World gave them no chance for a rescue. The latest news from Ah Luo was that the Demon World planned to publicly dispose of Ah Wun and Gu Xichen at the place where the Demon and Heavenly Worlds connect, over Nila Lake, in half an hour.

Just as they received the news, the Demon World sent over a video of Gu Xichen’s interrogation.

No matter what they asked, he only said Ah Wun was his wife, and he wouldn’t abandon her, that he would die with her if necessary.

Seeing this, Gu Lili already had a plan in mind.

Gu Lili suddenly thought of the dream she once had, where Long Yubei fell into Nila Lake to protect her.

She recounted the dream seriously to Long Yubei, "Don’t go, no matter what, don’t go, you must promise me."

Long Yubei naturally understood what she meant, "I’ll judge the situation, if things go well for you, I won’t go. If things change, then I’ll go."

"No." Gu Lili shook her head, insisting he must not go, "No matter what happens, you must not go."

Long Yubei disagreed, "I won’t listen to you on this. If you’re in danger, even if it means falling into Nila Lake, I will go."

"Long Yubei!"

His eyelid twitched. He feared her calling him by his full name, for it meant she was angry.

Long Yubei held her face with both hands, his dark eyes gazing into hers, "So you must protect yourself at all costs and come back safely. That way, I won’t have to go. If you’re in grave danger, how could I not go? Would I still be worthy of being your husband or your child’s father? I, Long Yubei, am a man."

Gu Lili couldn’t change his mind, so she instructed Jun Yu, "Make sure he doesn’t go. Have someone keep an eye on him for me."

Jun Yu understood she didn’t want any harm to come to Long Yubei, "Okay, sister, you must be careful."

Gu Lili nodded and gave him a hug, "I’m going to prepare, and then I’ll leave immediately."

The matter was urgent, and there was no time to delay.

She couldn’t bring too many people, as a large group would be conspicuous, alerting the enemy and disrupting the rescue.

Clad in black, she tied her hair into a slick bun.

Gu Lili didn’t go through the Human World, but infiltrated the Demon World’s territory instead.
