"Xiao Hei, I need to see the Ninth Prince, there’s something extremely urgent."
Gu Lili hurriedly followed him in.
"Your Highness, Miss Gu has arrived."
Gu Lili entered and looked up to see Su Changzhi sitting there drinking tea.
"What brings you here?"
Gu Lili quickly knelt down, her head touching the ground, "Ninth Prince, Long Yubei’s soul flew out of his body on its own. I can’t figure out what happened. I can’t find his soul, please help me look for him."
"Flew out on its own?" Su Changzhi looked down, "When did this happen?"
"Just before I came."
Su Changzhi’s expression changed, "Could he be the returned soul shards of my Seventh Brother?"
Gu Lili looked up in astonishment, "What...what are you talking about?!"
At this moment, one of Su Changzhi’s subordinates entered from outside, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince has awakened, and the Netherworld King summons you immediately."
"It seems very likely." Su Changzhi, looking at her still kneeling on the ground, said, "You should come with me and see for yourself."
Gu Lili’s heart was uneasy as she quickly got up and followed Su Changzhi out of his residence.
She had never been afraid of anything before.
Gu Lili herself had turned into someone unrecognizable.
If the soul within Long Yubei’s body really was the original self of the Seventh Prince, then... when he wakes up, will he still have memories from the mortal world?
There must be some, right?
She forced herself not to think about this and followed Su Changzhi to the Seventh Prince’s residence.
Gu Lili couldn’t care less about her surroundings as the noise around her continued to pour into her ears.
Many people had come.
The Netherworld King, upon seeing her, was genuinely surprised, "Miss Gu, how come you’re in the underworld again? And with Old Ninth too."
"Father, it’s . Gu Lili said that just before she came, she found out that the father of her child’s soul had spontaneously departed from the body. I suspect it’s Seventh Brother’s original self, so I brought her here to confirm."
"Confirm what? Once your Seventh Brother’s original self is restored, his memories in the mortal world will no longer exist unless he returns to that body again. But now that he’s back, I won’t allow him to return. Let him be unaware of those mortal matters, so as not to disturb his peace of mind again. Miss Gu, you should not come to the underworld again. If I find out that you’re here again, I’ll strip you of your remaining lifespan and make you reincarnate." This update ıs available on novel-fire.ɴet
Gu Lili, hearing his words, dared not disobey.
"Alright, you may go now."
Gu Lili’s fervent hope was dashed by cold reality. When she woke up and saw Long Yubei lying on the bed, knowing that he had no soul, she still couldn’t help but reach out to check for his breath under his nose.
There was not even a trace left.
She trembled as she grabbed his hand, which was already cold.
Gu Lili burst into heart-wrenching sobs.
She could never have imagined that Long Yubei was the Seventh Prince of the underworld!
Gu Lili hurriedly called the Long Family Mansion; it was the Dragon Mother who answered. She said while crying, "Yu Bei is in trouble, all of you must hurry over."
"What happened?" Dragon Mother asked anxiously.
"Come over first, then I’ll tell you."
Gu Lili hung up the phone, sat there hugging her knees, and thought of the last thing he said in his sleep: "Never leave me again."
Now it’s not that I want to leave you; it’s you who will forever leave me and our child!
Gu Lili cried uncontrollably, feeling as if her chest had been blown open. Why did such a thing happen?
Long Yubei’s original identity turns out to be the Seventh Prince of the underworld, Long Chan!
Once he returns, he will never remember them again; he will never come back.
