Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1016: With You Always (161)

Even though he was unhappy inside, he didn’t dare to express it verbally at this moment, "I accept."

Gu Lili shot him a cold glance, retracted the Huiling Sword, and took out a handkerchief from her clothes to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Today, the Heavenly World is reorganizing its discipline, anyone dissatisfied can step out and challenge me, I’m giving you this opportunity..."

No one spoke.

"If no one steps forward, I’ll take it as automatic compliance from everyone." Her gaze was sharp, "In the future, if I find out anyone is causing trouble behind my back, I’ll make an example of them to warn others! The other Four Realms, especially the Demon World, are eyeing the position of ruler of the Six Realms, wanting to replace us in the Heavenly World. To prevent the Demon World from getting this chance, we must quickly select a new Heavenly King. Who does everyone think is suitable?"

This was somewhat of a rhetorical question, it was too obvious.

Dare anyone suggest someone other than her and her brother?

That would be courting death, wouldn’t it?

One by one, people suggested either Jun Li or Jun Yu.

Finally, Gu Lili felt it was the right moment, she raised her hand, and the noisy chatter quieted down immediately.

"I am, after all, engaged to Long Chan, and will be a daughter-in-law of the Netherworld, so it’s not appropriate for me to be the Heavenly King. My brother, Jun Yu, is a perfect fit. Whether in cultivation or ability, he’s not lacking. I declare that Jun Yu is the new Heavenly King of our Heavenly World!"

Instantly, there was a wave of cheers.

Gu Lili felt a complete relief in her heart.

No matter if these people were genuinely enthusiastic or not, at this moment the ruler of the Heavenly World was finally decided.

Next comes the preparation for the ceremony of the new king’s inauguration.

"You’re saying my mother killed my father?"

"Yes." Xu Mohan said softly, "Your father likely did it for the Ice Cicada Cup, also to pass cultivation to your mother, so he had your mother kill Jun Li and Jun Yu, as a last resort. Now both your parents are dead, and your siblings have been sent to do hard labor."

"Those people who only share blood but no familial affection, I don’t really care about them, now about the position of the Heavenly King..."

"It’s confirmed to be Immortal Jun Yu."

Jun Xiangyi nodded, "Uncle is a competent person, he’ll surely manage the Heavenly World in an orderly manner. Does that mean I can now freely go out?"

"Your uncle said, when your uncle takes office, he wants me to bring you to attend. At that time, your aunt will clear your name."

"I never expected, the ones closest to me are not those related by blood, and those wanting me dead are my closest kin. Without going through it, one doesn’t know the value of freedom." Jun Xiangyi, feeling the excitement of re-entering a life under the sun, couldn’t contain her excitement, "Old Xu, we can go fishing together again, it’s wonderful."

Xu Mohan gently stroked her long hair, "Yes, it’s wonderful, Xiangyi. The residence in the Netherworld, where you lived, remains unchanged, exactly as it was. When we return to the Netherworld, we’ll stay in that room. What do you think?"

"Of course, it sounds great, I’ve gotten used to living in that room as well."

"What do you feel like eating today?"

"Fish ball soup."

"Just that? Anything else?"

"Wontons." Jun Xiangyi suggested, "You buy the meat, I’ll make the dough. We can grind the filling and wrap them ourselves, it’s no trouble for the two of us, since we have some free time."

"Alright, wait a bit, I’ll go buy them now."

Jun Xiangyi nodded. While he went out, she tied on an apron and started making the dough, adding some baking soda and egg whites, and began kneading the dough.
