"Originally, I thought since Jun Li went to the Demon World as a hostage, there was an eight or nine chance that your marriage with her would be called off. Who would’ve thought that she was the master of the Bashen Sect? The Heavenly Demon Demon Three Realms have been investigating who is behind the Bashen Sect. Who could have imagined it was my daughter-in-law, hahaha."
"Didn’t Father investigate?"
"I was curious but never really investigated. However, I know the Bashen Sect has surely placed people within our Netherworld, though not many, which is not enough to be a threat. So, I’m not worried."
Long Yubei, seeing his father’s joyful appearance, felt relieved, "Then shouldn’t Father quickly summon my brother-in-law back?"
"Look how eager you are. I’ll summon him at once."

When Gu Lili arrived in the Heavenly World, Young Master Rong Fei was still in Yunxiao Palace and hadn’t left.
The two t again, their expressions differing greatly.
Rong Fei had a triumphant smile, while Gu Lili watched coldly.
"Jun Li, you ca at the right ti. Young Master Rong Fei claims you spent the night with him and he wants to take responsibility..."
"Last night, I stayed at the Seventh Prince Mansion in the Netherworld, didn’t even return to the Demon World. How could I have spent the night with him?" Gu Lili said without flinching. "Nonsense. If the Heavenly King doesn’t believe , call Long Chan to ask. Long Chan wouldn’t co to testify for if he had been cuckolded."
The Heavenly King thought he had finally cleared her out of the Heavenly World, but she ca up with such an argunt, "Isn’t Long Chan living with the mother of his mortal world children? How could he be with you in the Netherworld?"
"The mother of his children bore him two sons. Out of the necessity to care for the children, she lives under the sa roof with him. However, the relationship between her and him is only superficial for the sake of the children. After the Six Realms conference, we t frequently, he fell in love with , and we ca together. Weren’t we supposed to be betrothed? I have a fiancé and don’t need Young Master Rong Fei to take responsibility for ."
"How could Jun Li, as a hostage of our Demon World, appear in the Netherworld? This morning, after I woke up, I found Jun Li was gone. She must’ve concocted this story with Long Chan. Everyone knows how much Long Chan loves the mother of his children, how could he love you? Jun Li, I genuinely want to take responsibility for you."
"I think Young Master Rong Fei makes sense. Why not take this opportunity to annul the engagent with the Netherworld and marry Young Master Rong Fei?"
Gu Lili was infuriated by his eagerness, "I will only marry Long Chan, and no one else!"
"Jun Li!" The Heavenly King slamd the table in anger, "Do you think you have a point for doing such a disgraceful thing to our Heavenly World’s reputation? As a hostage of the Demon World, you were in the Netherworld last night, do you think this excuse will suffice?"
"Can’t I leave the Demon World on my own?" Gu Lili took a deep breath, "I missed Long Chan too much, couldn’t help but go find him."
With what she said, the Heavenly King had no counter, "Who let you leave the Demon World? As a hostage..."
He hadn’t finished when Gu Lili interrupted, "You arranged this hostage matter; I regret to inform you that I no longer intend to be a hostage. You can appoint soone else."
"Jun Li, are you going to defy all rules?!" The Heavenly King felt his authority was being challenged, leaving him furious.
"If defying you is akin to defying all rules, then I’ll do just that today." Her defiance made the Heavenly King feel she was audacious, so audacious that it posed a serious threat to him. Without sufficient backing, he was certain she wouldn’t dare speak to him in such a tone.
