Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1023: With You Always (168)

"Didn’t you say the body would grow larger?"

Gu Lili really didn’t know how to explain, "He just said it like that. Alright, you two go back to your room to wash up and sleep. You still have to report to school tomorrow."

"Okay." The two children filed out.

Long Yubei turned off the kitchen lights and followed Gu Lili back to their room.

When Rong Fei arrived at the Demon King’s place, he immediately saw his sister, Rong Xiuxiu.

"Why did you come back from the Heavenly World?"

"Of course, the Heavenly World let me go. There’s a new leader now, and the previous exchange of hostages between the two realms has automatically been voided." Rong Xiuxiu’s voice had a chill to it, "Now Jun Li and Jun Yu are the masters of the Heavenly World. Whether willingly or not, everyone has pledged loyalty to them, and in a few days, the inauguration ceremony will be held."

Rong Fei was already aware of this news. He looked toward the Demon King, "Does Father plan to show goodwill to the new Heavenly King?"

"Even if we show goodwill, it won’t easily diminish Jun Li’s dissatisfaction with you, but not showing goodwill isn’t very good either." The Demon King did not clearly state what the plan was, "Jun Li’s rise to power was something I never expected. I did think she’s a scheming woman, but didn’t anticipate her ambition would be so vast, swiftly setting her brother on the Heavenly King’s throne, truly remarkable. Unfortunately, she can’t be used by our Demon Clan. Did you really have relations with her that night?"

"Naturally, every word is true."

Rong Xiuxiu was surprised, "Brother, you slept with Jun Li?"

"Yes."

"Then why would Long Chan help her?" Rong Xiuxiu didn’t understand, "Long Chan is her fiancé, after all."

"It’s not hard to guess; they have mutual interests, namely the Heavenly World and the Netherworld. Long Yubei loves his woman in the mortal world, not Jun Li, that I am very clear about."

"Fei, if you can win Jun Li over, then wouldn’t the Heavenly World be as though in your hands?" The Demon King encouraged him this time, "Previously, I advised you not to pay too much attention to her. Now Father feels you should focus on her, make conquering her your priority. If you win her heart, Father indeed believes the day our Demon World becomes the leader of the Six Realms isn’t far off."

"I will do my best."

"No matter what, on Jun Yu’s inauguration day, you personally bring gifts to offer congratulations."

"Yes."

"And one more thing, Jun Yu has never been married. If Xiuxiu can marry him, it would be a great event." The Demon King instructed Rong Xiuxiu, "Find an opportunity to get closer to Jun Yu. I’ve heard he’s never been involved with a woman."

"I think that’s difficult, Father. No matter how he’s been with women, he would never marry your daughter." Rong Xiuxiu doubted Jun Yu would find her appealing.

"I’m asking you to try, not to attain it at all costs. You’re idle anyway."

"Alright, I’ll give it a try." Rong Xiuxiu had been confined in the Ice Cold Pond for almost five years. During these years, she often reflected alone and grew more mature than she had been years ago. Though it seemed impossible, what if there’s a miracle? Besides, being Empress in the Heavenly World is an incredibly glorious position.

After all, as children of the Demon King, we are basically sacrifices for stabilizing positions. If it’s not marrying this entity, then we have to become hostages somewhere else. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Might as well find a good one.

Leaving Father’s presence, the siblings almost walked side by side.
