Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 784: Deeply Rooted Feelings (229)

"Six Realms conference is approaching, and you must attend," Long Yubei remarked.

"It’s clear. You better prepare for your tribulation. I’m heading to the Netherworld first."

"Alright."

...

When Goddess Jun Li arrived at the Netherworld King Hall, several princes were present, including Long Yubei.

The others did not leave upon her arrival.

"Goddess Jun Li, what brings you here?" one asked.

"There is a favor I need to ask of the Netherworld King. My brother, Jun Yu, has been arranged by the Heavenly King to undergo a tribulation in the mortal world. I hope his Reincarnation period could be shortened."

For the Netherworld King, it was an easy task. "No problem, I will see that it’s taken care of."

"Thank you for your efforts."

"It’s not a big deal." The Netherworld King knew that if the Heavenly King hadn’t specified any particular instructions, it wasn’t a serious issue, and a simple gesture would suffice. "Goddess, the Six Realms conference is about to start. I was discussing this with my sons. They will all attend. Will you be attending as well?"

"I will," replied Jun Xiangyi, "Not only must I attend, but I might also choose a partner for marriage."

Long Yubei’s gaze shot towards her. Although she didn’t meet his eyes, she felt his stare; indeed, she had deliberately mentioned it for Long Yubei to hear.

"Aren’t you traditionally absent from marriage discussions?" he questioned.

"I’m getting older; it’s time to choose a husband," Jun Xiangyi smiled, "Does the Netherworld King plan to form any marriage alliances with other realms at this Six Realms conference?"

"Indeed, there is such a plan," the Netherworld King responded, "Previously, your divorce from my third son led to the dissolution of our tribes’ alliance. Thus, I hope to bind with the Heavenly World again in matrimony, ensuring everyone agrees amicably without repeating past issues."

Goddess Jun Li’s eyes sparkled, "Hopefully, the Netherworld and Heavenly World continue their good relations, stabilizing peace across the Six Realms."

"What the Goddess said mirrors my own thoughts."

After Goddess Jun Li left, the princes of the Netherworld also departed from the Netherworld King Hall, leaving only Long Yubei there.

"Why haven’t you left? Is there something else you wish to say?"

"I wish to participate in the marriage alliance."

The Netherworld King raised an eyebrow, "What changed your mind? You were reluctant earlier."

"I believe you know very well why I changed my mind, don’t you?" Long Yubei retorted.

The Netherworld King narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you trying to say?"

"There’s no need to beat around the bush—Lili’s true identity is Jun Li, isn’t it?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The Netherworld King stared at him intently for a few seconds before responding, "When did you find out?"

"Recently."

"I know you’ve been involved with Hong Ying from the Demon World, and I always thought you regarded her as the mother of your children..."

"While I once thought so, apart from the timing of Hong Ying’s awakening, there’s no other evidence to support that claim. But Jun Li, with her Li Mao memories, she’s different."

After a brief silence, the Netherworld King inquired, "Have you disclosed everything to her?"

"Not yet. I’ve told you before, I’m aware of the larger picture. I’m not one to be blinded by love," Long Yubei assured.

Seeing that he knew, the Netherworld King no longer intended to conceal it, "Does anyone else know about this, apart from you?"

"Certainly not."

"That’s good then." The Netherworld King discerned his determination, "You wish to marry her? How can you be so sure she will choose you?"

Long Yubei would naturally not divulge that he and Jun Li were already secretly together, "I will make her choose me, under the pretense that she doesn’t know she’s the mother to two children."

The Netherworld King scoffed, "You, with two sons, and her, now a Goddess, where do you get the confidence that she will choose you?"
