Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1075: With You Always (220)

With the help of Bashen Sect’s internal members, she thrillingly and successfully blended in among the Demon World’s maids.

Although her fame is widespread, there aren’t many who have really seen her.

Especially these maids and soldiers from the Demon World, not many have seen her.

Mixing in, she remained unnoticed.

"Listen to me, when we go up there, no one is allowed to raise their head and look around, or your life will be at stake," instructed a leader, "Do you all remember?"

"Yes, we remember." The response was unanimous.

"Grab your oil barrels and line up over there to get the oil."

The team went over in an orderly fashion.

"Is this person called Ah Wun really one of us from the Demon World?" The maid walking behind Gu Lili asked those beside her.

"Of course she is. I heard she used to serve in the Heavenly World. They say she’s from Bashen Sect, but Bashen Sect denies it. So far, no one has come forward to negotiate with our Demon World. Since they say she is from our Demon World, then we have the right to dispose of her, don’t we?"

"You’re right," the voice lowered a few levels, "Is that man from the mortal world Ah Wun’s husband?"

"Yes, that man is quite genuine with her. I heard the Demon King will release him if he admits he has no connection with Ah Wun and gives her a divorce letter, but he stubbornly refuses."

"He sure has guts."

"Indeed."

...

Waiting among the crowd, they ascended the mountain, a sea of heads stretching endlessly, indicating how many people were present.

Gu Lili carried an oil barrel, keeping her head down, focusing on the ground, and followed the maids ahead.

As she walked further, she could see Ah Wun and Gu Xichen.

The two were bound in the midst of a pile of wood, and the Demon World intended to burn them alive.

The chosen location was because the Heavenly World was not far away.

The Demon King’s intentions were evident.

He meant to show her.

Gu Lili gradually approached the Demon King and his group of offspring with her oil barrel.

Their attention wasn’t on the maids, allowing Gu Lili to reach within a meter of Gu Xichen undetected.

Still not raising her head, when she finally caught sight of Gu Xichen and Ah Wun, tortured beyond recognition, the string holding Gu Lili’s resolve broke.

She tossed aside the oil barrel and leapt into the air, instantly setting up a barrier around the woodpile before the Demon King could act.

Suddenly, the crowd could no longer see Ah Wun and Gu Xichen.

Gu Lili stunned a group of maids, then heard the Demon King shout, "They haven’t left! Everyone stay quiet."

The Demon King approached, but could not get near the barrier. He wanted to break it, but with his 380,000 mana, he was no match for Gu Lili, and couldn’t break it.

Only then did the Demon King truly realize that Gu Lili possessed such profound cultivation and mana.

He ordered his men to surround the barrier.

"Jun Li, let’s see how you get out!"

Gu Lili quickly walked to Gu Xichen’s side, scrutinizing to find he was tied with ordinary ropes, severely wounded, evidently tortured. She freed Gu Xichen’s ropes, then went to Ah Wun.

But compared to him, Ah Wun was even worse.

From head to toe, her body drenched in blood, her face covered in bloodstains, fingers subjected to torture, binding ropes meant for Demon Fairy Gods threaded through her insteps, while another rope restrained her hands and neck.
