CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 355: I LOVE YOU (129)

Gu Lili thought that at the very least they were still friends; after all, during the time they spent together, their relationship was pretty good, wasn’t it?

But she didn’t expect him to change so quickly, declaring his boredom with her once he knew she wasn’t the reincarnation of Lin Yue’er.

One should never take the words spoken in the past too seriously.

Gu Lili bowed, "Thank you, Ninth Prince, I will leave now."

"Also, do not come to the underworld again."

"Alright." She obediently replied, "I hope the Ninth Prince takes good care of himself, and may you soon find Miss Lin."

Before Gu Lili could leave the underworld, Ji Ling blocked her path.

She looked at Gu Lili with a playful smile, "Are you truly so naive? I’ve heard about what happened at the Netherworld King Hall. I knew you were just a substitute, he would never choose you."

"He didn’t choose me, but he didn’t choose you either, did he? Is there a reason to be so happy?"

Ji Ling’s expression changed but soon eased, "Never mind, I’ll let you go."

"Miss Ji, may I ask you something?"

Ji Ling looked down at her with dignity, "What is it?"

"What exactly happened between Seventh Prince, Ninth Prince, and Lin Yue’er back then?"

"You’re curious too, huh?" Ji Ling laughed, "I can’t tell you the details, but I can say that both of them are truly obsessed lovers. After Lin Yue’er was reborn, the Seventh Prince, in his longing to follow her, leaped into the Reincarnation Road with all his soul and spirit, leaving only his body, which now lies in the Seventh Prince’s residence."

So that’s how it was, one had to be deeply in love to take such a step.

Gu Lili nodded, "Thank you, then I will take my leave."

"Don’t let me see you in the underworld again, or I’ll report you and have you severely punished, understand?"

"Yes."

When Gu Lili woke up, Gu Xichen was sitting in front of her bed looking at her.

"Looking at what?"

"I called you twice; how could you sleep so deeply without waking up?"

"I went to the underworld." She stretched out her arms, "I’ve been freed."

"What do you mean?"

She gave him a hug, "Gu Xichen, the Ninth Prince has completely let go of me."

"What do you mean ’completely let go of you’?"

She didn’t mind telling him, certain he wouldn’t speak of it to others.

So, she told him about her experience as she cooked, and upon hearing it, Gu Xichen was visibly upset, "Su Changzhi is the Ninth Prince? My goodness."

Thinking of Su Changzhi’s appearance, he couldn’t help but shiver, "He’s not going to live here anymore, right?"

"He won’t, didn’t I tell you? He only saw me as the reincarnation of the woman he loved, not out of true love, so he won’t come here anymore. He seemed quite disappointed."

Gu Xichen was content, "Let him be disappointed; I’m happy, after all."

"He saved my life, and now he’s willing to let me go. I am very grateful to him, and I hope he finds the reincarnation of Lin Yue’er soon."

"Yeah, I hope so too. Anyway, if he hadn’t mistaken you, I guess he wouldn’t have saved you."

"That’s for certain."

While the two were eating, Xiao Hei arrived.

"The prince says to dispose of the body and the ring..."

Gu Xichen suddenly heard a man’s voice and, frightened, grabbed Gu Lili’s arm, turning pale.

"Alright." Gu Lili quickly took off the ring from her hand and gave it to Xiao Hei.

After Xiao Hei left, Gu Lili pushed Gu Xichen away, "It’s okay, he’s gone."

"Who is that person?"

"One of the Ninth Prince’s."
