Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 899: With You Always (44)
Gu Lili saw that this matter was already decided in his heart, no room for change.
Her brother was still undergoing trials in the mortal world and had not returned, like handing a handle to the Heavenly King.
Jun Yu, after all, was from the Heavenly World. As long as the Heavenly King asked the Netherworld King to hand over the person to him, even if Long Yubei was the Netherworld King’s son, the Netherworld King would find it difficult, probably impossible.
Moreover, at this moment, she couldn’t possibly confess to the Heavenly King that Gu Lili and Jun Li were the same person.
Even her powerful brother could become a bargaining chip for the Heavenly King to threaten her, not to mention those two children.
Fortunately, she had long known that the Demon World and the Heavenly World would eventually end in a superficial peace, and she naturally did not want the two realms to be peaceful just yet.
Secretly, she had long prepared for a new fire, hoping it would burn ever brighter.
The more unsettled the Demon World and Heavenly World were, the more it would work to her advantage.
After all, her enemies were many in these two realms; if they were kept busy, how could they have the mind to plan against her?
The death of Jun Xian’an was just the beginning. Considering her many enemies, she couldn’t be impulsive or careless; otherwise, she would meet a dire end with no place for burial.
She really wanted to use the Ice Cicada Cup on the Heavenly King, but she understood that if the Heavenly King died at this time and the other factions seized the chance for an internal war, with chaos in the Heavenly World, the leadership role in the Heavenly World would be lost, and wouldn’t the Demon World seize the opportunity...
No one knew what would become of the Heavenly World then, how many people would die as a result...
An unpredictable future.
If she caused the Heavenly World to reach such a state, she would be a sinner of the Jun Family.
Before she could stabilize the situation in the Heavenly World, she wouldn’t easily act against the Heavenly King.
Unless she secretly garnered support from at least half of the Heavenly people, then she would have the courage to do such a thing.
"Why aren’t you speaking?" the Heavenly King asked knowingly, "Jun Li, the Demon World has the most of your enemies; marrying there and becoming one of them is beneficial for you."
"You must be joking, Heavenly King," Gu Lili forced a smile, "Beneficial for me? Won’t I die faster on their territory?"
"Jun Li, you shouldn’t be ungrateful."
"Is it me being ungrateful or is it you, Heavenly King, being aggressive? You know the answer," Gu Lili showed no fear to him, "If it’s such a great thing, I think with so many unmarried daughters you have, it shouldn’t be my turn."
"Jun Li, are you defying the decree?!" the Heavenly King was furious, glaring at her, "You should think about the consequences!"
He didn’t expect that Jun Li, who always obeyed everything, would refuse at this time, even when he hinted about her brother, she still did so.
"The Heavenly King might want to be someone who breaks promises and acts against his words, but I, Jun Li, do not," Gu Lili’s tone was cold, "My engagement with Long Chan is set, even if you, Heavenly King, want to disregard the ties between the two worlds to destroy it, I, Jun Li, will carry it to the end. Don’t bring up any more marriage alliances with others to me, Heavenly King."
This firm attitude completely angered the Heavenly King. Just as he was about to explode, a Heavenly Soldier quickly ran in, "Heavenly King, something terrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
"The Demon King has personally come to the Nangong Gate to demand a person back, saying the Demon Queen was taken by our Heavenly World people." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"What?!" the Heavenly King ordered, "Let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, the Demon King came in, fuming with anger, "Heavenly King, what do you mean by this? I was just about to marry into your family, and you went and took my madam away?!"
