Chapter 762
Spoiled (Lily)
Lilly asked, âWhatâs wrong, Daddy? Why arenât you reading it?â Observing her fatherâs subtle change in expression, she grew somewhat anxious.
Blake collected himself and responded, âI couldnât find any other soul flowers, but I did come across something called amphibious soil. It can sustain life in both sunlight and the underworld. Animals and plants can nurture souls and gather themâ¦â
âThe earth embodies the negative energy, nourishing all living things, while amphibious soil nurtures all soulsâ¦â
It was worth mentioning that although Leslie was not a good person, this book was quite remarkable.
Blake was not sure where he found this book. But it contained numerous insights and served as a comprehensive manual for cultivation.
No wonder he kept it close to him at all times!
Lilly clutched the âbulbâ tightly, her gaze determined. âWe must get these things!â
She was determined to save Pablo.
Master, wait for Lillyâ¦
Iâll never leave your side.
Lilly hugged the âbulbâ tightly, even though the wind could not extinguish the light inside, she worried that a gust might blow it out.
The cowardly ghost observed for a while and nodded, saying, âBut finding amphibious soil is challenging. According to this book, we can find the soul flower, but obtaining amphibious soil depends on luck.â
And if he remembered correctly, Pablo ventured into the underworld not too long agoâ¦
This was Blakeâs concern.
He chuckled wryly to himself, knowing that there would come a day when he could not follow Lilly or accompany her anymore.
He never expected that day to arrive so soon.
He chased after her desperately, but the distance between him and his daughter was too farâ¦
Blake closed the book and said, âAlthough this book is thin, the text is small and it contains a lot of information. It will take a while to finish reading. Letâs take our time and search for soul flowers and amphibious soil.â
He handed the book to Lilly. âLilly, keep this book safe.â
Lilly nodded and placed the book inside the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.
The reason it was called the jar of souls was because it could only hold items like souls, while tangible objects could only be placed in the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.
Lilly placed the book on the table in the Palace of the Ruler of Hell. She was going to learn to read and write diligently from today onwards.
In response, Lisa interjected, saying, âI can⦠go with Lilly!â
Anthony paused, his hand suspended in the air, and looked up at Lilly and Lisa, realizing that they belonged to different worlds.
A hint of melancholy filled his heart as he spoke softly, âWell⦠do visit often.â
Just as Bettany entered the room with a bowl of soup, she immediately asked, âWhat do you mean visit often? Whereâs Lilly going?â
What did they discuss behind her back? Why was Lilly leaving? Where was she going?
Bettany disagreed at once!
Hugh ushered, âLetâs eat first, Lilly. Come on, letâs eat.â
Blake approached the dining area, carrying Lilly in his arms, and asked, âLetâs eat. Lilly, are you hungry?â
Lilly nodded, âYes, Grandma, Lilly is hungryâ¦â
Bettany suppressed the twinge of bitterness in her heart and nagged, âEat quickly, eat more.â
âMake sure to eat on time, wherever you are in the future. You hear me?â
âDonât let yourself go hungry, and donât let anyone make you hungry⦠Only when youâre full, youâll have the strength to do what you want. How can you work on an empty stomachâ¦â
Lilly nodded while enjoying her meal, âYeah!â
Blake quickly typed something on his phone, searching for the location, âMalie Cityâs top elementary school.â
Lilly would be staying there for a while.
The book they had discussed mentioned a place called Apex Mountain. It was described as the intersection between the underworld and the human world, leading to the desolate lands of the underworld where treasures like the soul flowers could be found.
Leslie must have visited Apex Mountain multiple times but could not find the entrance. The page about Apex Mountain had several crossed-out âentrancesâ that had already been explored.
Anthonyâs phone buzzed, and he picked it up to read the message.
Lilly joined the Crawford family when she was three and a half years old and celebrated her fourth birthday with them. She attended kindergarten and then moved on to elementary school.
Now, after the summer vacation, she had started a new grade.
Next year, in September, she would begin elementary school.
Anthony pondered for a moment and spoke, âMom, Lilly will attend elementary school in Malie City in Shukistan. Later on, Iâll take her to visit another school first before making a final decision.â
âThe kindergarten class will be connected there.â
Bettany was caught off guard and exclaimed, âGoing to Shukistan againâ¦â
The last time they went to Poncook Summit, which was also in Shukistan.
âWhy does she need to go there? Isnât it fine here? Josh and the others are attending an international school. Lilly could join them, and her older brothers could look after herâ¦â
Anthony shook his head and replied, âShe needs to go there.â
Bettany did not say anything, but her heart felt unsettled.
Their dear Lilly was still so young, yet she had to go through all this. She could not even attend an elementary school near their home.
Hugh took out his phone and started looking up real estate options in Malie City, Shukistan.
Upon searching, Hugh discovered that there were no large villas available near the top elementary school. However, he managed to find a suitable spacious apartment within the community, with a maximum area of 3000 square feet.
Hugh casually placed an order for the apartment, swiftly finalizing the arrangement.
He then handed the phone to Anthony and said, âMake the payment.â
Anthony was speechless.
