Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 727: Deeply Rooted Love (172)

"What is going on with this?"

Long Yubei looked closely but could not understand. "I don’t know, I’ll go ask Immortal Jun Yu."

"Okay."

After he left, Gu Lili sat by the bed, staring at the sword radiating red light, afraid to touch it.

She would wait for Long Yubei to come back.

About half an hour later, he returned with Immortal Jun Yu.

As Jun Yu approached and picked up the sword, his expression sharpened.

Seeing this, Gu Lili asked, "Immortal Venerable... what exactly is going on?"

"I’m not quite sure myself, but I think it has something to do with my sister. I’ll take the sword now and return it to you another day."

"Okay."

Jun Yu took the Huiling Sword back to the Heavenly World.

Jun Li lived in Lizhi Garden, which initially was not named this. It was named after her love for lychees and the character ’Li’ in her name.

Jun Yu often returned to visit; this garden seemed forgotten, only he would come.

The caretaker of Jun Li’s spiritual body was her beloved pet Doudou, a giant spiritual dog with two heads, snow-white fur, and very fierce, but only gentle with those it recognized and was familiar with.

Since Jun Li’s Primordial Spirit was absent, Doudou had been guarding her spiritual body, not allowing anyone near except Jun Yu. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It had been a while since his last visit, and seeing Jun Yu, Doudou wagged its tail to show affection. Jun Yu bent down to pet its head, "Good Doudou."

Then he stood up, walked to the bed, and pulled aside the bed curtain, his gaze falling on the woman who looked as if she were asleep.

Jun Yu noticed something unusual.

He leaned over his sister lying on the bed and saw some sweat on her forehead.

Her complexion was also a bit more rosy than before.

Not understanding the reason, Jun Yu placed the Huiling Sword beside her.

Instantly, the red glow from the Huiling Sword disappeared.

Jun Yu picked up the Huiling Sword again, and the red light reappeared, disappearing once more when he put it down.

Unsure, he left the sword lying there.

Jun Yu didn’t leave; he slept there that night.

He had never dreamt of Jun Li, yet he dreamt of her that night.

In the dream, she spoke and laughed lightly just as before, as lively as ever.

Her martial prowess was heroic, her dance moves captivatingly graceful.

Her laughter could overthrow realms, her anger was chillingly stern.

When Jun Yu woke up, he was still reminiscing the only line Jun Li said in his dream: "Yu, your sister misses you."

His eyes slightly swollen, he leapt to the bedside; Jun Li still lay there just as in the dream.

He picked up the Huiling Sword again; no red light emerged this time.

Just as he was about to lower the bed curtain and leave, Doudou started barking fiercely. He turned around, and saw the door open and a flock of butterflies flying in, much to Jun Yu’s joy.

These butterflies, like Doudou, were once Jun Li’s pets, disappearing after her Primordial Spirit left, and now they had returned.

His heart trembling, he watched as the butterflies completely enveloped Jun Li on the bed.

Jun Yu’s hand, which was about to lower the curtain, drew back, and he stood by quietly observing.

...

When the Huiling Sword returned to Gu Lili’s hands, she looked it over and asked, "Immortal Jun Yu, what exactly happened with this sword?"

"This was originally my sister’s Magic Artifact. Last night, I brought it back to her side. When placed beside her, the red light disappeared. When I picked it up again, the light showed again. I left it beside her for the night, and in the morning, the light was gone. Although I was the one who forged this sword, I honestly do not understand what this means."
