Chapter 769
Spoiled (Lily)
Blake thought there would be many wandering ghosts at the entrance of hell. But there was only a gust of gloomy wind in the gap, and it was eerily quiet.
Lilly led Aunt Lisa and Blake, then walked inside.
Blake counted the time. They walked for an hour. The further he went, the colder he felt. Although he was strong, he could not help but shiver.
Lilly and Lisa did not feel anything.
âDaddy, are you cold?â Lilly asked.
Blake nodded. âItâs cold here. Lilly, if this is the entrance, you must be careful when you enter. I may not be able to accompany you, but Iâll try to⦠Lilly?â
Before Blake finished speaking, Lilly suddenly let go of his hand.
He watched Lilly lead Lisa in front. Their figure was still there, but they could not hear his voice!
âLilly!â Blake gritted his teeth and moved forward. But he realized he could not walk further, and Lilly could not hear his voice either.
Blake watched Lilly go further away and disappear into the mist.
âLillyâ¦â Blake murmured. He sat on the ground and stared blankly in the direction Lilly disappeared. He separated from Lilly.
He rubbed his head and finally stood up.
âIâll come, Lilly.â Blake picked up a stone and made a heavy mark on the wall.
âThis time, I can only accompany you here. Next time, Iâll try to accompany you to go further.â
Blake threw away the stone, looked into the depth of the rift, and left resolutely. He returned to the SUV and called Anthony.
âLilly entered the entrance.â
Anthony paused. Itâs so fast!
He had thought even if they found the entrance, they might not get in that fast. He did not expect everything to go well.
Anthony said, âWell, I see.â
Blake said again, âYou take the elders back first. Let them wait in Malie City.â
He wanted to say it was better to let Hugh and Bettany return to Alfornada. But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Bettany was more stubborn than anyone.
âGo back. Iâll wait for Lilly here.â
After hanging up the phone, Blake called Layton and asked Layton to deliver some supplies.
Blake did not intend to leave Lake of Confusion. He wanted to stay here. If Lilly came out, he would be the first to pick her up.
â¦
Lilly was walking and suddenly found that Blake was gone. She felt she was still holding Blakeâs hand.
But after a while, she did not hear Blake speak.
âDaddy?â Lilly felt her heart tighten. She hurried back to look for Blake.
However, the surroundings separated her from Blake. The mortal world had an entrance, and the underworld seemed to have another exit.
âDaddy, weâll be back!â Lilly yelled to the vague figure outside.
What she saw was that figure getting further away. It was like a mirror. She was walking forward, and Blake might walk forward too, but in the opposite direction, until she could not see him anymore.
Lilly stood there in a daze for a while until Lisa tugged at her. âLetâs go?â
She grabbed a large stone, stuck it in place, and said, âMark here! The way back!â
The exit might not be here, but it must be nearby. Lisa could feel it.
Lilly hugged Lisa tightly. She suddenly felt sad. If she came alone, she would be afraid.
âFortunately, Iâm here with Aunt Lisaâ¦â Lilly murmured.
Lisa picked up Lilly and said, âDonât be afraid! Aunt Lisa is here!â
Lilly felt the temperature on her body and nodded. âYeah!â
Lilly cheered herself up. âLetâs find the soul flowers first! Thatâs easy to find.â
The soul flower grew in Hidden Valley. It had relevant records of where it would be and what it would look like. But amphibious soil was not recorded. They could only find it with luck.
Lilly looked into the distance. Here was the underworld, which was boundless and endless. It was gray all around, like a cloudy sky with no sun.
All kinds of stones piled up in a mess. It was similar to a desert. They could not tell the direction.
âAunt Lisa, do you know the direction?â Lilly asked blankly.
Lisa shook her head blankly. When she got here, she felt powerless. Even after getting used to it, she could not sense the exit.
Lilly said, âItâs okay! Letâs find the stone first. Daddy taught me that if we get lost in the desert, just look at the stones.â
â¦
Lilly took out the bottle, which Pabloâs soul was inside, and shook it.
âHello, Master! Can you hear me?â
We come to the underworld! Can you sense it? Tell me what to do next!
The bottle shone faintly, but it was a pity that she could not get Pabloâs answer.
Lilly carefully put the bottle into the jar of souls and released all the ghosts.
It doesnât matter! I can learn to look for answers.
As soon as all the ghosts came out, they were dumbfounded.
The harem spirit said, âI only took a nap but went home!â
The unlucky ghost was confused. âHere is the underworld, right? I donât feel wrong, do I?â
The ghost bride said, âItâs my second time going home.â
As soon as she stepped in for the first time, she struggled unwillingly and went up again. People who had just died could go up, but the feeling was different now.
The rebel ghost clenched his fist. âIt seems that my strength has become stronger.â
The weakling spirit wanted to hug Lilly. âDo you get down by yourself? Are you frightened? It must be uncomfortable to be alone.â
Lisa turned around and hugged Lilly tightly. Then, she stared at the weakling spirit in displeasure.
âSheâs not alone!â
Am I not human? Oh, maybe Iâm not human. Anyway, Lilly is mine! No one can take her away!
The weakling spirit had no choice but to give up hugging Lilly. He said, âWhereâs that book? Letâs see how to find the things.â
Lilly came down from Lisaâs arms. She felt more crowded when the ghosts came out and became calm.
She took out The Utmost Secrets of the Spirit Realm, put it on the ground, and squatted down to read it.
âLetâs find the soul flowers first.â
The weakling spirit read it carefully. âThe soul flowers were at the Hidden Valley, where the bad aura converges. There are steel-like locust trees around itâ¦â
The harem spirit was surprised. âLocust trees?â
The weakling spirit nodded. âIt should be different from the locust tree in the mortal world. But since itâs written as a locust tree, at least it should look like a locust tree at first glance.â
The rebel ghost said, âThe second marker is that there are nine-headed birds. Is this a place where children can go? Nine-headed birds only eat children!â
Lilly snorted. âIt canât eat me! If it dares to eat me, Iâllâ¦â
The ghost bride said nervously, âYou wonât eat it, will you?â
No way! The nine-headed bird looks super disgusting! Itâs not tasty at all!
Lilly said, âIâll chop it up and feed it to the ghosts!â
The ghosts were speechless.
At the same time, the King of Cities, who was in the underworld, suddenly stood up and laughed.
âSomeone broke the rules and broke into the underworld! Iâll go check it out!â
That kid is finally here! Good! Since she dares to step into the underworld, Iâll kill her!
