Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1076: With You Always (221)

Gu Lili’s eyes instantly turned red. She tore off the tape on Ah Wun’s mouth and quietly called, "Ah Wun, I’m here to rescue you."

"I knew... you would definitely come to save us. You wouldn’t abandon us." Ah Wun’s voice was coarse, obviously much hoarser than before, likely from screaming during torture.

Once Gu Lili untied the ropes on her hands and neck, removing the rope from her insteps was sure to be painful.

"Bear with it, I’m going to pull out the rope."

"I’m okay." Ah Wun bit her lip tightly.

Gu Xichen cradled her bloody foot while Gu Lili gripped the rope and sharply pulled.

"Ah—" Ah Wun threw her head back and screamed in agony.

The other foot couldn’t be pulled out slowly, that would be even more agonizing. As always, Gu Lili pulled it out in one go.

Ah Wun trembled all over with pain and was quickly embraced by Gu Xichen, "I’m here, I’m here..."

Even though she knew he was just a regular person and couldn’t do much, just having him there filled Ah Wun with strength. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gu Lili tore several pieces from the clothes of an unconscious maid, came over to bandage Ah Wun’s instep, and brought over shoes for her to wear.

The benefit of the Barrier was that she could let herself and those inside freely come and go, but those outside could not enter.

Gu Lili turned to look around; layers of people from the Demon World were surrounding the area outside the Barrier, not knowing what had been arranged outside.

She and Ah Wun, along with Gu Xichen, set four logs soaked in oil alight and kicked them in the four directions at the soldiers outside, throwing them out simultaneously.

This allowed the three to clearly see the outside situation.

The Demon World had prepared archers, all aiming in the direction of the Heavenly World opposite Nila Lake.

It seemed the Demon King was convinced they would leave this way.

Indeed, this appeared to be the only viable method.

After all, the success rate was high.

But they were mistaken; Gu Lili had prepared two routes and arranged two groups of people.

Gu Lili leaned close to Ah Wun’s ear and whispered, "Later, take Xichen and leave directly from the south. I’ve arranged for our people to meet you there."

"I thought we were taking the route toward the Heavenly World."

"There’s someone waiting there too."

"What about you?" Ah Wun looked at her, "Aren’t you leaving with us?"

"I’ll be covering for you; otherwise, how could you shake them off?"

Ah Wun knew she was skilled in spells, "Be careful."

"Yes, don’t worry, just focus on getting yourselves out."

"You didn’t bring the Huiling Sword?" Ah Wun only then noticed she wasn’t carrying a weapon.

"No, aside from regular people, it’s difficult for anyone under ten thousand cultivation to approach, so how could I sneak in? Besides, it’s more convenient without it; I can summon it whenever needed." Gu Lili looked up, "Let’s go."

Ah Wun tightly embraced Gu Xichen and flew up first, with Gu Lili closely following behind.

They stopped after flying several hundred meters high.

None of the three spoke, Gu Lili whispered something incomprehensible, and suddenly butterflies swarmed out from her sleeve in a rush.

As the Barrier withdrew, Gu Lili used her tremendous power to push the two away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

These people from the Demon World stood no chance against Gu Lili, yet layer upon layer continued to surround and attack.

Going north and east was out of the question, and south wasn’t viable either; the only option was west, crossing Nila Lake to reach the Heavenly World.

The leaders of the Demon World, as well as the Demon King and Rong Fei, pursued her together.
