Chapter 574
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 574 Heading to the Temple of Light The Temple of Light encompassed its own picturesque area, centered around the mountain where it is situated, extending outward for a distance of two to three miles. The range was considered part of the Temple of Lightâs scenic area.
The scenic area was known as Light Hills, and as they made their way from the base of the mountain to the Temple of Light at its peak, they would encounter various scenic spots along the route, although the overall journey involved climbing the mountain.
The Temple of Light attracted a considerable number of tourists, including two adults and a young child.
One of the adults was a cheerful young man, carrying a backpack, most likely a college student. The other adult was in their sixties or seventies, wearing a dark gray striped T-shirt, slightly hunched with a coat draped over their shoulders.
Among them, the most noticeable person was a little boy wearing a black cap.
âHere, Iâll give you a flower!â Suddenly, a one-year-old girl stumbled over and hugged Lillyâs leg. She looked up at Lilly with blinking eyes and held a small flower in her hand, raising it high.
Grandpa Blake chuckled and wore a kind expression on his face. He jokingly said, âHow old are you?
How can you be this into boys at such a young age?â
If one had to mistake Lilly for a boy, she still looked incredibly adorable!
Unaware of what Blake meant, the little girl grinned innocently and she looked at Lilly with an adoring gaze.
Lilly thought to herselfâ¦.
Although I really want to accept her flower, I shouldnât break my character!
She coldly replied, âI donât like flowers.â
While saying that, she took the flower from the little girlâs hand.
It was a 10 percent replica of Ivanâs little arrogant demeanor.
Blake was speechless.
Lilly stared at the one-year-old girl, bursting with energy at such a young age. How could she be surrounded by a bad aura?
The little girl was overjoyed and extended her hand, saying, âHug me! I want to follow you!â
Lilly felt a bit embarrassed, but the little girl was too adorable. Giving in to the cuteness, she coldly reached out and picked her up with one hand, holding her gently in her arms.
Initially, the little girlâs parents had been playfully watching their childâs interaction, but they were taken aback when they saw the composed little boy effortlessly lifting their daughter with one hand.
âWow, youâre so strong!â the girlâs mother exclaimed, extending her hand and saying, âCathy, come here quickly, Iâll carry you. The young boy might find it difficult to do so.â
Cathy clung tightly to Lillyâs neck, refusing to let go.
Heading to the Temple of Light âI want my big brother to carry me.â
The girlâs father approached with an embarrassed expression, saying. Tm sorry, she doesnât know any better! Cathy, come back here.â
Lilly pondered for a moment, wondering how Ivan would react in this situation.
Thus, maintaining his typically expressionless face, Lilly replied, âItâs alright, I can carry her.â
âUhâ¦â
Cathyâs parents were astonished, realizing that Lilly appeared to be only four or five years old. How could they let Lilly carry Cathy up the mountain?
âCathy, say thanks to your big brother over here. However, children shouldnât be carrying heavy things.
Theyâre still growing, and itâs not good for their spines,â Cathyâs mother stated, scooping up Cathy despite her protests.
Cathy cried out, âIâm not heavy! Cathy isnât heavy!â
Lilly responded, âWell, sheâs not too heavy.â
Sensing that she was about to break character, Lilly quickly resumed her cold demeanor.
Father had warned her to be cautious on the journey, as it would be problematic if the ghosts released by King Libra were to discover their presence.
Cathyâs mother became intrigued by Lilly, the cool little boy who cared for her daughter, yet maintained a calm expression.
Both groups of people became acquainted because of Cathy, and Cathyâs mother asked, âAre you also heading to the Temple of Light?â
Lilly nodded, sporting a sunny smile, and asked, âAnd where are you from?â
Cathyâs mother replied, âWe came from Yundella. Weâve heard that the Temple of Light holds great spiritual significance, so weâve come to seek its blessings.â
She glanced at Cathy and sighed, âMy kid has been experiencing sudden convulsions for a few days every month since birth and she often has a high fever. Weâve visited numerous hospitals across the country, but we havenât been able to identify whatâs wrong.â
Concerned about his wifeâs well-being, Cathyâs father held her in his arms and casually asked, âWhat about you? Is this your grandpa? He seems quite strong for his age, even capable of climbing mountains!â
Grandpa Blake chuckled and replied, âItâs nothing, heâs supporting me up the hill!â
With that said, he reached out and grabbed Cloud, putting his entire weight on him.
Climbing the mountain seemed effortless for him in this manner.
Being an elderly man, he naturally received assistance from the younger generation.
Cloud smiled but internally gritted his teeth, wishing he could kick Blake away and watch him roll down the mountain.
Heading to the Temple of Light Suddenly, Lilly asked, âAre there other people in your family?â
Cathyâs mother paused for a moment and replied, âYes, she has an older brother. Cathy adores him, but he doesnât like her affection.â
As she mentioned her older brother at home, Cathyâs mother restrained her smile and let out a sigh.
Lilly nodded, understanding the situation.
It appeared that the root of the issue lay with Cathyâs brother.
Lilly raised her hand and handed out a card, saying, âCall me when you return home!â
Lilly placed one hand in her pocket, adjusted the brim of her hat, and calmly stated, âPraying to God wonât cure Cathyâs illness, but my dad can.â
With that, she turned around and went on her way, exuding an air of confidence.
Blake was confused.
Whatâs this little boy up to?
Cathyâs parents were equally confused.
Despite the little boyâs aloof demeanor, it seemed that he genuinely cared about Cathy. It appeared that Ãte had developed a liking for her.
Cathyâs mother carefully stowed the card in her bag. Since Cathyâs birth, they had been through a whirlwind of experiences, desperately grasping at any opportunity that came their way, often falling victim to scams and losing a significant amount of money. At present, Cathyâs parents adopted a mindset of âletting goâ while cautiously preserving things, just in case they might be of use. They were wary easily trusting others.
of After that pause, when they looked up Jessiein, they saw that the handsome and cold boy had already distanced himself, disappearing into the distance. Even the old man, supported by the young man, was striding with remarkable speed, displaying a vigor that defied his age. It seemed as if they had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Cathyâs father remarked with a sense of awe, âThat old man is truly amazing.â
