"I’ve said the ugly part up front, just remember that for me. But didn’t you say earlier, even if Miss Gu isn’t Lin Yueer, you would still marry her without regret? Why have you changed your mind so soon?" the Netherworld King asked, "Have you really made up your mind this time? Do you want Gu Lili or Lin Yueer?"
"If Lili really isn’t Yue’er, then indeed, I’ve transferred my love for Yue’er onto her. I just felt that you, Father, have deceived me, I just felt that Lili must be her."
The Netherworld King turned to Gu Lili, "Miss Gu, you may leave first, there’s nothing for you here anymore." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0velFire.ɴet
Gu Lili expressed her thanks to the Netherworld King and as she stood up, she looked towards Su Changzhi, "Ninth Prince, I’m leaving."
Su Changzhi didn’t even spare her another glance, and Gu Lili quickly turned and hurried away from there.
She didn’t know whether the Netherworld King would tell Su Changzhi about Lin Yueer’s whereabouts. All she knew was that when she woke up, she was covered in sweat.
Gu Lili felt weak in the knees as she got out of bed.
She was terrified just thinking about how Su Changzhi would not allow the children to be born.
These two treasures, no one has the right to deprive them of their right to be born!
Gu Lili knocked on Long Yubei’s door, "Open up!"
Long Yubei suddenly woke up, thinking something was wrong, and when he opened the door, he saw the frightened look on Gu Lili’s face and quickly asked, "Lili, what’s wrong?"
"I just came back from the underworld."
Long Yubei picked her up and returned to the main bedroom, placing her on the bed he asked, "What did you do in the underworld?"
"It was Xiao Hei, the Ninth Prince’s aide, who summoned me there. The Ninth Prince thinks his father has tricked him. He still believes I am Lin Yueer and said he wanted to stop the children from being born and have me stay with him forever. Later, he took me to the Netherworld King, who repeatedly said I am not Lin Yueer and promised to tell him the news about Lin Yueer. However, the Netherworld King said that while he would reveal the news, the Seventh Prince, whose spirit had entered the Reincarnation Road, would return to his original place. I guess the two brothers are going to fight over that woman Lin Yueer, but that has nothing to do with me anymore; the Netherworld King then let me come back."
Long Yubei wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief, "It was a close call, but aren’t you okay now? Since the Ninth Prince knows Lin Yueer’s reincarnation, he will no longer come after you. There’s nothing to worry about."
Gu Lili leaned against the headboard, "But I still feel uneasy. They are all important figures, and we insignificant humans can’t do anything against them. I hope, as you said, they truly won’t come for me anymore."
Long Yubei softly reassured, "I’ll lie beside you tonight and we can chat, how’s that?"
She hummed in agreement.
Long Yubei turned off the light in the second bedroom and came back to lie next to her. Neither of them felt sleepy.
"However, what’s strange is that today Xiao Hei called for me from outside the window. Usually, when he looks for me, he comes right up to me. It’s as if he’s afraid to come close to me."
"It’s probably the effect of the Huiling Sword," Long Yubei explained. "No one knows where our Long Family ancestors got the Jiuquan Sword and Huiling Sword from, but they’re said to be great for warding off evil. Filthy things fear them. I don’t normally carry the Jiuquan Sword with me because it’s not very convenient, and the power of the two swords together in battle is even greater. It’s said that it’s quite something to behold, though I’ve never personally witnessed the power of both swords being used together."
"To have such precious treasures in your family, that’s really amazing."
