Chapter 1062
Spoiled (Lily)
Blakeâs voice remained hoarse and deep due to the constriction in his throat, but Lilly, engrossed in her search for medicine, did not notice his call.
She continued to search for it. With her little feet firmly planted on her back, she appeared both adorable and determined.
On the second level, there stood a carved wooden cabinet adorned with a few small jade bottles. Lilly glanced up, her feet shifting anxiously, and spotted the words âGolden Pill of Good Fortuneâ inscribed on them.
âHmm⦠This medicine has the most words, so it must be the most powerful!â
Lillyâs eyes sparkled with excitement. Anything with âgoldenâ and âgood luckâ surely held immense potency, even if she did not know what it did.
Without hesitation, Lilly reached out her hand, only to realize she was still too short.
The medicine rack was designed to be tall, with a cabinet placed on the second level. Compared to it, her tiny hands fell short.
âAh!â Lilly suppressed her frustration, gathering all her strength to jump as high as she could!
Still, she could not reach it!
Just as Lilly was about to use the Hell Ruler Palace as a makeshift staircase, a large hand suddenly extended from behind her.
Blake took hold of the bottle of Golden Pill of Good Fortune and handed it to Lilly, saying, âHere.â
Lilly swiftly turned her head, her eyes widening, and her mouth forming an âOâ shape. âDaddy?!â
Startled, her father had awakened!
Lilly instinctively glanced at her fatherâs chest and thought to herselfâ¦
Thank goodness I didnât cause troubleâ¦
In the next second, she was lifted by her father and held tightly in his arms.
Lilly thought her father would explode. So, she was afraid.
She patted her fatherâs back, offering comfort. âLillyâs here, Daddy. Nothing will happen to you!â
âDaddy, donât be scared anymore, donât be scared, donât be scaredâ¦â Lillyâs soft, small palm gently stroked Blakeâs back.
Blake, always strong and silent even when injured and bleeding, found his eyes growing red from the soothing touch.
âLilly, do you miss Daddy?â Blakeâs voice trembled.
Lilly nodded emphatically, giving a heartfelt response, âYes, I miss you.â
Blake could not help but curl his lips, gazing at her little face with careful and intense affection.
She had returned to her childlike appearance, still as adorable as ever.
Unexpectedly, he now had the opportunity to witness her growth once againâ¦
âDaddy misses you very much too.â Blake pressed his forehead against Lillyâs, feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart. âThis time, Daddy wonât let you get hurt.â
Lilly nodded, âOkay!â
But then, she became puzzled once more. âHuh?â
Had she not been hurt recently?
Blake held Lilly in his arms and said, âItâs nothing⦠Which one do you want? Daddy will help you.â
With his towering height of just over feet, he could effortlessly scan the entire medicine cabinet.
Lillyâs field of vision suddenly expanded, revealing countless jade bottles on the second and third tiers of the medicine cabinet.
âWow⦠There are so many. The lovely lady in this room must be very wealthy.â
Medicine, regardless of its location, held great value.
Valuable equals expensive.
Moreover, these pills were all contained in jade bottles, each of which was of higher quality than those commonly found in the mortal world.
Thus, this medicine cabinet was worth an unimaginable sum.
Lillyâs eyes filled with envy, leaving Blake both amused and exasperated.
âYes, sheâs very rich, she even has a powerful and influential father,â Blake followed her lead.
Lillyâs curiosity was piqued. âIs her father wealthier than Uncle?â
Blake raised an eyebrow. âAbsolutely. Not only her father was the richest man in the underworld but also the wealthiest man in the entire world. He owns all the gold, silver, and jewels from the heavens and the earth.â
Lilly was skeptical. âReally?â
Daddy rarely praises people like this. It feels odd for him to speak so highly of this ladyâs fatherâ¦
Something doesnât seem right.
Blake continued, âOf course. This cavern was built by that lovely ladyâs father. Who else would have the audacity to acquire such a vast expanse of land between the underworld and the mortal realm?â
âHe also created an extraordinary ice pond, adorned the surroundings with exquisite flowers, constructed this massive cavern, gathered numerous medicinal ingredients, and crafted countless elixirs for her.â
âWithout wealth and power, could anyone accomplish all this?â
Upon hearing her fatherâs words, Lilly believed, âThatâs true! And thereâs also the talking mirror!â
These were things that money could not buy.
This lovely ladyâs father is so powerful.
She wanted to know more!
Observing her thoughts, Blake could not help but smile, âWould you like to meet her?â
Lilly replied eagerly, âYes!â
Blake gazed at Lilly, his expression gentle. âWell, now youâve met her.â
Hello⦠my little sweetheart.
We meet again.
Blake seemed to see her crying when she was just born, her serious expression when she fed Behemoth and Leviathan noodles as a petâ¦
And she was wearing a pink vintage dress⦠It coincided with her six-year-old self.
She was still herself, except that all the memories from her previous life were sealed off, and she truly began anew.
Blake gently caressed Lillyâs small face with his fingers and repeated softly, âNow youâve met herâ¦â
