Gu Lili felt as if the sky had collapsed.
The fact that he was the Seventh Prince of the underworld was destined to become the biggest barrier between them.
Returning to his original form, he no longer remembered anything from his time in the mortal world.
Unless he returns to this body again.
Thinking of this, Gu Lili helped Long Yubei up and held him in her arms, crying out loud.
Old Madam Long, Mr. Long, Father Long, Dragon Mother, Long Fengxi, Lu Youyuan, Liang He, and Long Tianjiao all came, while Tang Qingli, unaware of what had happened, also approached.
When the group burst into the bedroom, Dragon Mother trembled and asked first, "What happened to my son?!"
With tears in her eyes, Gu Lili looked at them, "Yu Bei is the reincarnated son of the Netherworld King, the seventh son. The Netherworld King has awakened the Seventh Prince, summoning back Yu Bei’s soul; he has returned to his original form." Updates are released by novel·fire·net
Old Madam Long trembled as she approached the bed, "Lili, explain to grandma clearly, what does this mean?"
"Grandma, Yu Bei isn’t an ordinary reincarnation; he originally is the seventh son of the Netherworld King. Tonight, after he came back, he kept saying he was feeling very weak and fell asleep after saying only a few words to me. I saw his soul drift out of his body with my own eyes. I called him, but he didn’t respond, so I followed him to the underworld, and that’s when I found out he is the seventh son of the Netherworld King, the Seventh Prince of the underworld."
Everyone suddenly understood, and immediately, cries of grief echoed together as they all gathered around the bed calling out to Long Yubei.
Dragon Mother fainted, and Old Madam Long almost passed out too, "How could this happen... how could this... my precious grandson, my Beibei! Come back to grandma!"
Mr. Long, with tears streaming down his face, asked Gu Lili, "Since he has returned to the underworld, he will come back, right?"
Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Lili once again.
Facing everyone’s hopeful eyes, Gu Lili really didn’t have the heart to voice the cruel truth that he couldn’t return.
"I went to the underworld to seek an audience with the Ninth Prince, who took me to the residence of the Seventh Prince, but just so happened to meet the Netherworld King there. The Netherworld King himself told me that since his soul has returned to its original place, he has lost all memories of the mortal world. In other words, unless he returns to this body, he will not recognize us anymore..."
Old Madam Long feigned calmness, "So, you’re saying there is still a slight possibility, Beibei might not be able to return, but he’s still alive, just in a place we can’t see."
"The Netherworld King said he is not allowed to return anymore, ordering him to cut off all ties with the mortal world. He also forbade me from going to the underworld again, threatening to take away my lifespan if I go there again, but..." Gu Lili looked at them resolutely, "I will definitely find a way to bring him back, I must find a way."
Old Madam Long held her hand, "Lili, although this is very difficult, the family is counting on you now. As long as it’s safe, grandma absolutely does not want you to take any risks. It’s unbearable to think about what would happen if you sacrificed yourself and Beibei didn’t come back."
"Now we must take good care of his body for future use when he returns."
Long Tianjiao, crying, asked, "Then... do we need a crystal coffin?"
Old Madam Long said, "The crystal coffins sold on the market require electricity for refrigeration, and they don’t preserve for long. Feng Xi, order someone to bring one of the Ice Flame Stone Coffins prepared for your grandfather and me. Qing Li, make sure no word of this gets out. It absolutely must not leak."
