Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1005: With You Always (150)

Seeing the Heavenly King truly infuriated by her, Gu Lili was in an extremely good mood.

"Fine." The Heavenly King took a deep breath, "Since you won’t go, let your brother go."

"As you wish."

The Heavenly King’s eyelid twitched, even this had no effect on her.

"Young Master Rong Fei, you should return first. We have some family matters to deal with in the Heavenly World."

"Rong Fei takes his leave."

He took a deep look at Jun Li. His originally triumphant mood vanished. He thought this matter was definitely settled, but she refused to comply no matter what.

Does she really like Long Chan, who has two children, that much?

As he left Yunxiao Palace, the two inside silently confronted each other.

"You won’t need to use my brother to threaten me anymore because he will no longer be a weakness for you to exploit. It’s not that he’s unimportant to me; a child I raised single-handedly wouldn’t be repeatedly used by you as a bargaining chip if he weren’t important. What I want to tell you is that my brother and I will no longer be at your command."

"It looks like you have backing, is it the Netherworld?" the Heavenly King’s tone turned cold, "If I don’t agree to you being with Long Chan, you can’t marry."

"My backing isn’t the Netherworld, it’s myself," Gu Lili’s tone was calm and unhurried, "Besides, whether I’m with Long Chan doesn’t require your approval, because it doesn’t matter."

"Jun Li, I see you really are unaware of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth."

"Thanks to you." Gu Lili’s hands hung at her sides, "You’ve long harbored murderous intent towards my brother and me, but for appearances’ sake, you want us dead in a way that seems justified so others won’t see you as narrow-minded, lacking magnanimity, or heartless. But in truth, no matter how much you try to act otherwise, you are fundamentally that kind of person. Didn’t the execution of your daughter, Jun Xiangyi, without discerning the facts, prove that about yourself? No matter what Jun Xiangyi did, she couldn’t be so foolish as to try to poison her father in public. I don’t know your reasons for wanting to kill her, but all I know is that you no longer deserve to be the Monarch of our Heavenly World."

"That’s not for you to decide," the Heavenly King snorted, "Jun Li, today you’re destined to pay a heavy price for your ignorance and fearlessness."

"That applies equally to you, Heavenly King. Don’t be so sure of yourself."

...

Fifteen minutes later, the previously empty Yunxiao Palace was now filled with many influential figures from the Heavenly World.

These people were summoned by the Heavenly King.

The purpose was to severely punish Gu Lili.

"Jun Li has no regard for the law, disobeys commands, was stationed as a hostage in the Demon World, yet returned to the Netherworld to see Long Chan without summons, and now she speaks impudently. Esteemed ministers, how do you think she should be punished?"

"I believe that Divine Mother Jun Li’s actions have shown contempt for the Heavenly World’s laws and regulations and should be severely punished to serve as a warning," Immortal Venerable Yuan Song spoke, "After all, if Divine Mother Jun Li sets such a precedent, it will negatively impact our Heavenly World. We can’t have the lower levels following suit."

"I agree with Immortal Venerable Yuan Song’s reasoning. Divine Mother Jun Li’s reckless behavior taints the reputation of our Heavenly World," Goddess Mei Ying added, "I implore the Heavenly King to punish her sternly."

"I think Immortal Venerable Yuan Song and Goddess Mei Ying’s words are biased. Initially placing Jun Li in the Demon World as a hostage was inappropriate. The hostage from the Demon World is the Demon King’s daughter; the Heavenly King should have sent his daughter in return. Although Jun Li bears the title of First-class Divine Mother, she has no familial ties with the Heavenly King. Jun Li’s grievances are understandable. Moreover, Jun Li is twenty-five thousand years old, and having finally found a fiancé, it’s only natural for her to be close to him." The person speaking was Jun Haisheng, the Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly World, who rarely involved himself in Heavenly World affairs. He was Gu Lili’s uncle.
