Since Gu Lili had made a decision, she wouldn’t change it easily. From ancient times, it has been difficult to have the best of both worlds. If she refused to give up on the child or abandon Su Changzhi, she’d rather endure it herself. If she could endure, it would be a new rebirth; if not, it was her fate to perish.
The so-called severe punishment was nothing more than tasting all the penalties of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
She knew because Su Changzhi had once undergone the severe punishment before.
With Su Changzhi’s high cultivation, he appeared as if life was worse than death after undergoing the severe punishment, and she herself was merely a mortal, how could she handle it?
She had thought everything through, if it was death, then so be it.
The Netherworld King did not expect Gu Lili to choose this way, and couldn’t help but regard her more highly, "You do have integrity. In this case, given that you are pregnant, to avoid your enduring capacity affecting the child’s soul, I will have a spiritual body that is to be executed extract your soul and put it inside. If you truly can endure it, I’ll forgive you for this incident. If you cannot endure and your soul disperses, then it is also your fate."
Gu Lili’s face turned ashen, "Thank you, father."
The Netherworld King did not expect her to thank him, and ordered Oxhead and Horseface, "Take the Ninth Princess Consort down to be executed."
Watching Gu Lili being taken away, Long Yubei pleaded, "Father, please reconsider!"
"Father, you decide on the second option, your son will comply."
"It’s her own choice." The Netherworld King said without even looking at them, "This is the trouble you two caused, bear the consequences yourselves."
Lin Yueer was secretly pleased, thinking that Gu Lili was very likely to disperse her soul, and possibly never appear in this world again. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Father!" Su Changzhi’s voice trembled, "You can just target me, let her suffer the severe punishment for a woman without any spiritual power..."
"I gave her the choice, and it is she herself who stubbornly chose this path," the Netherworld King coldly said, "If you can’t bear it, join her in enduring the punishment, it’s up to you."
Su Changzhi stood up angrily and then vanished from the spot.
"Seventh, you can go too."
Just as Long Yubei was about to stand, Lin Yueer embraced him tightly, "Don’t go. If you go to that woman, Long Yubei, I never want to see you again! I will never forgive you!"
He looked at her, his eyes blazing like flames, "What I hate the most is being threatened, no matter by whom."
Lin Yueer’s embrace was empty, and she looked around at the vanished figure, somewhat stunned.
She dared not leave, but could only wait here.
Long Yubei searched the gates of hell, layer by layer, but couldn’t find which layer Gu Lili was on at all.
Because Gu Lili’s entry into each layer this time was random, and now she was subject to penalties inside someone else’s spiritual body, it was nearly impossible to find her among so many punished souls across each layer of hell.
Neither he nor Su Changzhi found her.
The Netherworld King had anticipated this, letting them search as they wished.
Just because they couldn’t find her now didn’t mean they never would.
Su Changzhi visited each layer once, checking each punished soul because they had only one layer; if he could find the one enduring punishment in two layers, he could quickly find Gu Lili.
He realized this, and so could Long Yubei.
But unfortunately, those Ghost Messengers, following the Netherworld King’s instructions, would transfer Gu Lili elsewhere whenever they appeared on any layer, making it impossible for them to find her.
