Chapter 385: Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Blake’s Precise Hit Just a few seconds ago, the spirits were playing cards inside the jar of souls, and they were using the lollipops they got from Lilly as bets.

The unlucky ghost had lost all ten of his lollipops. The paper strips stuck to his head were equivalent to the number of sweets he owed the other spirits.

After the initial confusion, the unlucky ghost snapped to his senses and threw away the cards in his hand. “What’s the matter. Lilly? Do you have a task for us? I’ll go! I’ll do it!”

Lilly pointed toward the screen and asked, “Is this the man that got away today?”

The unlucky ghost moved closer to the computer and placed his head on top of Blake’s.

“You’re right! That’s the guy that’s slipped away today! He continued, “That guy was pretty good. He has the skills to conjure paper figures with his talismans.”

The unlucky ghost gave a detailed recount of what happened back then. Then, he rubbed his palms.

together and grinned widely. “Lilly, are you giving us any rewards for this new mission?”

The harem spirit couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “Do you not have any sense of shame? How could you ask for a reward just because you answered a question?”

The unlucky ghost was about to give a retort when he was hit squarely in the face the next instant.

“Ah!” The punch was so strong that it sent the unlucky ghost flying.

Blake slowly loosened his fist. He had a cold, steely look in his eyes.

“What the hell?!” The unlucky ghost covered his nose as he exclaimed.

What happened?! How did a mortal like him manage to hit ?! How is this possible?!

The harem spirit was thrown off balance. She muttered to herself, “…A direct hit to the face! How did he do that?! That’s so cool!”

She turned her eyes to Blake and fixed him with an intense gaze. Her eyes shone with admiration.

On the other hand, the weakling spirit took a few steps backward to put some distance between himself and Blake.

Just then, Lilly shouted excitedly, “Wow! Daddy, you’re amazing!”

I thought she’d ask me how I was able to punch the ghost just now. Never had I expected this reaction from her.

Blake pinched Lilly’s chubby cheeks and said in a gentle voice, “Of course! There’s nothing I can’t do after all.”

Lilly put her arms around Blake’s neck and gave him a peck on his cheek. The harem spirit was extremely envious upon seeing that.

Blake beamed broadly at Lilly. “Lilly, you should go back to your room and play with your toys. I’ll need only thirty minutes to find that man in the video.”

Lilly nodded. “Mhm! I’m counting on you, Daddy!”

She hopped down from Blake’s lap and headed toward the door. She called out, “You guys, come with me!”

The unlucky ghost scrambled to his feet and grumbled, “Wait up for me!”

Lilly happened to have closed the door behind her at that moment.

The unlucky ghost fell silent and stared at the door with a woeful face. The door was opened again the next instant. Lilly smiled shyly at him and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I almost forgot about you.”

The unlucky ghost stepped out of the room and demanded, “I’m still feeling sad. You should give me some sweets.”

Lilly felt around her pockets. Then, she reached into her right pocket and took out a piece of candy. Lilly held it out toward the unlucky ghost, “Here. You can have this. Lilly patted him on the head. Don’t stick your head above my dad’s head again.

next time.”

He’ll get beaten again if he does that. Daddy is a skilled practitioner now!

The unlucky ghost was on cloud nine as he took the candy from Lilly. “Mhm! Mhm! I’ll stay as far away as possible from him next time!”

There was not a trace of indignation that could be seen on his face at that point.

However, someone suddenly snatched the candy out of his palm.

The unlucky ghost shouted furiously at the harem spirit, “Hey! Give that back, you thief!”

The harem spirit pulled off a paper strip from the unlucky ghost’s forehead. She said nonchalantly, “Do you still remember how many sweets you owe me? Other than this piece I’m holding here, you still owe me three candies.”

Then, she went inside the jar of souls without sparing him a second glance.

The weakling spirit patted the unlucky ghost on his shoulder and reminded him, “You owe me three candies as well.”

The unlucky ghost felt both devastated and frustrated a the same time.

Lilly returned to her room. As soon as she opened the door, Lilly called out to her pet parrot, “Polly Polly, where are you?”

That’s weird. I haven’t seen Polly since I’ve gotten home.

…I don’t think I’ve seen Bellflower as well.

Hold on… Did Polly take Bellflower out of the house to play somewhere outside?!

Just then, Lilly spotted both of her pets on the windowsill. Polly and Bellflower were staying very still as they stared hard at each other.

“Uh… What are you two doing?” Lilly walked closer toward the windowsill and asked curiously.

Polly’s body was shaking a little.

“Dumb! Dumb!” Polly called aloud.

Lilly lightly poked Polly’s beak. “You shouldn’t call others dumb. That’s rude!”

Polly replied in a gloomy voice, “I was trying to say numb… My claws are numb…”

We’ve been staring at each other for twelve chapters!

Lilly was extremely confused. She looked at Polly. Then, she turned her gaze toward Bellflower.

Why would Polly’s claws be numb?

In fact, Polly and Bellflower had been in the same spot for almost the entire day.

Bellflower wasn’t that bothered by the standoff as cats were built to stalk and hunt their prey for an extended amount of time.

However, that was not the case for Polly.

For birds, their claw muscles would be in a relaxed state when they are holding onto something like the branch of a tree. So, for Polly to stay on the flat, smooth windowsill all day was complete torture.

Polly cried out albeit unwillingly, “I can’t anymore! I’m gonna pass out from this! I just can’t with this cat!”

Although Lilly wasn’t sure what was going on between her pets, she went to pick Polly up nonetheless.

Bellflower hopped down from the windowsill. Then, it rubbed against Lilly’s ankles and meowed at her.

Lilly said, “You haven’t eaten all day, right? Granny cooked salmon for you, and she was looking for you.”

Bellflower’s ears perked up.

Salmon?

The cat darted out of the room in an instant.

I’m starting to feel hungry after staring at the bird for a whole day. I even considered eating the bird at one point.

Lilly put Polly back on its usual branch and asked, “Are you hungry, Polly? Have you eaten today?”

Polly was still muttering to himself, “Numb… So numb I need to get some rest.

I’m not having another standoff with that stupid cat anymore I’ll just stand on a tall tree branch and wait it out next time!

Someone knocked on the door and came into the room at that moment. It was Bryson.

He had taken a shower and changed into a casual outfit. On the back of Bryson’s neck was the faint mark of a paper figure…

A strange, green light glinted across Bryson’s eyes. However, Lilly did not notice that as it happened too quickly.

Bryson began in a gentle voice, “Granny prepared sonje fruit juice, so I brought you a glass of it.”

Then, Bryson placed the glass of juice on the table.
