Chapter 590: Chapter 590

"She admitted with her own mouth that she killed Lili!" Long Yubei’s tears gushed as he looked up at him, "She killed Lili, shouldn’t I have killed her?! I did it, and I won’t complain about any punishment you give me."

The Netherworld King was taken aback, "Gu Lili... is dead?"

Su Changzhi added, "It’s true, I and Old Ten went looking for her. Before Lin Yueer was brought to the Netherworld King Hall, she pursued and killed Lili. The three of us went to hell to confront her, and she admitted that she was the killer. Seventh Brother acted impulsively and laid hands on her, please forgive him, father. This is within reason, Seventh Brother is not in the wrong."

The Netherworld King nearly lost his breath, "This Lin Yueer really... Did she have any evidence when she admitted it?"

"Yes." Su Changzhi replied, "Old Ten recorded a video."

"Good thinking on Old Ten’s part... Have him bring the video to me."

"Old Ten is dealing with Lin Yueer’s corpse, I’ll go get the video for father immediately." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel_fіre.net

Upon hearing his father’s words, Su Changzhi quickly rose to fetch the video.

After watching the video, the Netherworld King sent for the Three Divine Mothers and handed the video to her, "Your daughter admitted in her own words that she killed Gu Lili, take a look."

After watching the video, the Divine Mother could tell it wasn’t coerced, because she understood Lin Yueer’s tone all too well. The way she spoke, it was entirely of her own volition.

"Seventh killed her," said the Netherworld King grimly, "I only asked you to agree to three things, but we had no idea your daughter would be so audacious. Although Gu Lili is not my daughter-in-law at this moment, she gave birth to two sons for Yu Bei in the mortal world and was his beloved. After what happened to Changzhi before and doing this, now that she is killed, our agreement on those three matters is automatically nullified."

The Divine Mother wailed loudly, "Yue’er!!!"

In the end, before Lin Yueer’s ashes were thrown into a cesspit by Shan Langyuan, they were intercepted and the Divine Mother left with the ashes.

There was no punishment for Long Yubei in this matter.

The Netherworld King did not penalize him.

In fact, at this time, whether or not he was punished made little difference to Long Yubei.

His heart was utterly hollowed by the death of Gu Lili.

Emptiness also consumed Su Changzhi, despite Long Yubei telling him that Gu Lili went to Lin Yueer to retrieve the Spirit Sword and did not know he was being controlled by the Half Moon Enchantment at the time.

Yet Su Changzhi still felt that he cannot absolve himself of blame for the incident with Gu Lili.

Long Yubei returned home, where his mother Long Qian came to inquire, "What happened? Why such a mournful expression?"

Long Yubei looked at her and briefly, yet shockingly, recounted the whole story. Long Qian was barely able to believe it, and thinking of her two grandsons who lost their mother, she felt pity.

"Since it has come to this, there’s no use in saying anything else. Now that Lin Yueer is dead, revenge for Lili is at least served."

Long Yubei’s nose felt sour, and he leaned his head on her shoulder, tears bursting forth, "Mother..."

Long Qian extended her hand to pat his back, silently offering consolation.

At this moment, nothing else seemed to matter.

All these events that happened that night, Gu Lili was completely unaware of.

All she could think about was how to leave this place.

She didn’t sleep at all, sitting on the imperial concubine’s couch all night.

When Rong Fei woke up in the morning, he saw her sitting there with a vacant look in her eyes, turned to her and said, "If you can, just never sleep again."
