Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 969: With You Always (114)

"Jun Li, the Demon World seeks peace and demands a hostage exchange. The Demon King’s daughter, Rong Xiuxiu, will come to our Heavenly World. After much consideration, it seems we can’t send someone of lesser importance from our side, so we’ve decided to send you."

Gu Lili smiled slightly, "Heavenly King, aren’t hostages traditionally men? What impact does exchanging two women have? After all, having a woman as a hostage is no different from sending her away in marriage. If the Heavenly World truly seeks peace with the Demon World, in my opinion, the ones to be exchanged should be the Demon King’s son and your son."

"I’m merely informing you, not negotiating," the Heavenly King said more sternly, "Go back and pack your things, and depart immediately for Young Master Rong Fei in the Demon World."

That tone... 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It’s as if he couldn’t wait to expel her from the Heavenly World.

Gu Lili sneered inwardly. Banish her to the Demon World, thinking she’s a pushover to be trifled with?

"Yes, Jun Li obeys." She suddenly laughed, baffling the Heavenly King, "What are you waiting for, go."

Gu Lili withdrew.

She seemed to sense that if she forcefully refused to leave, the Heavenly King would first punish her for disobedience and might then send Jun Yu to the Demon World instead.

How could she not know his intentions?

Fine, she’ll go.

If she doesn’t cause a ruckus in the Demon World, she’s not Gu Lili and Jun Li!

Returning to Qin Garden, she shared the news with Long Yubei.

Long Yubei’s face darkened immediately, "I finally see it. Unless he gets rid of you, he won’t feel at ease."

"Am I that easy to get rid of?" Gu Lili leaned into his embrace, "Rong Fei dares to let me in; let’s see how I handle him."

"When you get to the Demon World, they’ll surely suppress your cultivation, leaving you powerless."

"You think I’ll let them succeed?"

"Of course not," Long Yubei whispered, "Do you have a plan?"

"You think I’ve lived all these years in vain?" Gu Lili wrapped her arms around his neck, "What should we tell the kids about my absence?"

"Say you’ve gone abroad on a business trip."

"That’ll work."

Gu Lili packed her things and headed to the Youyou Valley in the Demon World.

Coming to this place again, her feelings were quite different.

The last time here, she was trapped by Rong Fei out of necessity.

In a passive position, this time, she must take the lead!

She knew exactly what Rong Fei wanted, and she knew what the Heavenly King wanted as well.

The change of power in the Heavenly World takes time.

Once the majority of the Heavenly World becomes her people, let’s see how the Heavenly King stands against her.

Rong Fei was already waiting for her.

Upon seeing her, he said smugly, "You’ve come?"

"I’ve come."

"I knew you’d have to come."

"Is that so?"

She sat down comfortably not far from him, picked up some seeds from the table, and began to snack on them, "Where do I sleep tonight?"

"Your usual place."

Gu Lili snorted, "It seems you truly miss the days of oppressing me, does enslaving a woman give you a great sense of achievement?"

"It does, especially the Divine Mother of the Heavenly World."

Gu Lili remained poised, "Really? Even as a hostage, I’m free to act, except I can’t leave the Demon World, correct?"

Rong Fei corrected her, "Wrong. Your freedom means not leaving Youyou Valley. Come on, play a game of chess with me."

"..."

After dinner, Gu Lili lay on the bed. Seeing her motionless, Rong Fei walked over, looking down at her, "I didn’t expect you’d dare to eat here. How do you feel now? Lost your mana, haven’t you?"
