Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1003: With You Always (148)

"Come in." Gu Lili sat up. "What’s the matter?"

"Rong Fei has instructed his subordinates to spread rumors that you had a relationship with him last night. However, I killed all the people he sent. I’m afraid this news could be disadvantageous to you if it gets out."

Gu Lili nodded. "Well done. Rumors are easy to spread, but refuting them is a chase. Let it be known that I killed those people, so Rong Fei won’t pursue the matter further."

"Yes, Master. Rong Fei has now gone to the Heavenly King."

"He’s probably requesting a marriage from the Heavenly King. Before he returns, spread the news that I spent last night at the Seventh Prince Mansion in the Netherworld."

"Yes."

After Ah Luo left, Gu Lili urged Long Yubei, "Inform your Netherworld about it, so there are no leaks."

"Okay, are you going to the Heavenly World?"

"No, I’ll visit the Netherworld later. You go back first. I’ll freshen up and follow shortly."

Long Yubei was suspicious. "You’re not planning to see my father, are you?"

"Indeed, I am. I no longer regard the Heavenly King," Gu Lili took a deep breath. "I’m going to persuade your father to wake my brother up now."

"What are you planning? Can you at least give me a heads-up?"

"You don’t need to know. I don’t want to involve you in this matter. It’s better if you remain unaware."

...

When Gu Lili arrived in the Netherworld, Long Yubei had been waiting in the Netherworld King Hall for a while.

"Greetings, Netherworld King."

"No need for formalities, Divine Mother."

"I think we should skip the pleasantries since I’m going to be your daughter-in-law anyway. How about I call you Father?"

The Netherworld King flashed an awkward yet wily smile. "You haven’t married in yet..."

"We already have a child, no need for formalities, Father." She said directly. "This time, I’m here hoping that my brother can wake up now. Although it’s improper not to notify the Heavenly King, I’m going to be upfront with you. If you choose to heed the Heavenly King, then you’re against me, and vice versa. It’s best if you think twice about it. If you choose my side, I guarantee you won’t regret it. You’ll feel it’s an incredibly wise decision."

"Right now, choosing you doesn’t seem wise, as I don’t see any advantage in you."

"What about the Bashen Sect?"

The Netherworld King was shocked. "Don’t tell me you’re the master behind the Bashen Sect."

Gu Lili calmly affirmed, "Does it not seem like it? Yes, it’s me. I ask you, is the Bashen Sect enough?"

"It’s enough. First, tell me what you plan to do."

"I plan to dethrone the Heavenly King and support a new ruler." At this point, Gu Lili had no reservations. "Father, give me a definite answer, should I bring my brother back?"

"Alright, I promise you. I will have Immortal Jun Yu summon him back immediately, without informing the Heavenly King."

"Father, you’re straightforward. I’m going to the Heavenly World now."

The Netherworld King showed a kindly smile. "Go ahead."

After she left, he immediately turned to Long Yubei. "My son, what kind of wife have you found?"

"My woman is naturally exceptional." Long Yubei looked proud. "Father, supporting Lili is definitely beneficial. Rong Fei went too far. If I hadn’t arrived in time last night, he would have taken advantage of my Lili. Originally, Lili wasn’t planning to completely break things off with the Heavenly King, but that shameless Rong Fei went to the Heavenly World to propose."

"I see." The Netherworld King quickly understood.
