Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1079: With You Always (224)

"Let’s see their attitude towards this matter. If the Netherworld agrees to unite against the Demon World, then I will have no hesitations."

"Alright."

As soon as Jun Yu left, the Netherworld King arrived with his sons, and the only woman in the group was Long Qian.

It was obvious that during this confrontation with the Demon World, many spies were secretly watching the battle.

"Lili, Zen... did he really fall into Nila Lake?" Long Qian asked, choking with tears.

Gu Lili tried hard to suppress her emotions, nodding with tearful eyes, unable to voice a sound.

Long Qian’s body went limp, and Gu Lili hugged her tightly, "Mother, I’m sorry..."

"Chanchan, you are my only son!" Long Qian wailed, unable to stop her tears, "Come back, come back..."

Listening to her heart-wrenching cries, Gu Lili’s heart bled too. How she wished this was just a dream.

When she woke up, she wanted to tell Long Yubei she dreamt again that he fell into Nila Lake.

He would surely smile and soothe her worries, saying: Who would ever go to a place like Nila Lake?

Gu Lili seemed to see nothing before her eyes; the air was extremely quiet.

Then she suddenly looked up and caught a hint of a smile on the mouth of the Second Prince, Zhang Qin.

"Second Brother, why are you smiling?"

Zhang Qin’s expression changed instantly, trembling as he spoke, "Seventh sister-in-law, you were seeing things. How could I be smiling?"

"Seeing things?" Her tone carried a chill, "I hope I was truly seeing things, otherwise, for a brother to smile when his sibling is in trouble, he is truly worse than a beast."

Gu Lili supported Long Qian’s body upright, "Mother, although no one has come out once they’ve fallen into Nila Lake, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re dead. Isn’t it said that the names of those who enter remain lit in the Book of Life and Death?"

"But no one has ever come out alive." Long Qian wiped her tears, her heart slightly comforted by Gu Lili’s words.

"Mother, if Beibei is still alive in that lake, regardless of what it’s like inside, I believe he will come out. If he never comes out, then let us consider him still alive, holding onto a glimmer of hope." Gu Lili wasn’t sure if these words were self-deception, but she didn’t know how else to comfort her. "Now is not the time for grief and sadness. It was Rong Fei who guided Beibei into his Illusion Realm. If he is not removed, if the Demon World is not defeated, the Six Realms will never have true peace, Father..."

She looked towards the Netherworld King, "The role of the Netherworld is crucial at this time. If the Netherworld agrees, I can likely persuade the Immortal Realm and the Demon World to join forces against the Demon World. At this moment, at this opportunity, with the Demon King dead, the situation in the Demon World is extremely rare, and we have absolute confidence in winning. I have already sent people from the Immortal Realm and the Demon World to Yunxiao Palace."

The Netherworld King naturally understood her meaning.

Moreover, his own son was pushed into Nila Lake by Rong Fei. The names of those who enter Nila Lake remain lit in the Book of Life and Death, but no one has ever survived to come out. Who dares to claim they are still alive?

This was equivalent to having been killed indirectly, and the fire and anger in the Netherworld King’s heart were beyond words.

"The Netherworld agrees."

"Then let’s go together." Gu Lili added, "They don’t need to come along."

She was naturally referring to the sons of the Netherworld King.

The Netherworld King nodded, "You all return to the Netherworld, and take Seventh Madam back."

Gu Lili held Long Qian’s hand, "Mother..."
