Chapter 800
Spoiled (Lily)
Upon his arrival, he managed to capture a flying creature.
The peculiar beast resisted all attempts at taming, leading Ivan to be suspended by it throughout their journey. Unable to endure it, he eventually leaped off while the creature was soaring above the dense forest.
To his surprise, he managed to catch up with Lilly just in time⦠Such fortune was unprecedented.
Initially concealing his injuries, Ivan now finds them miraculously healed.
Lillyâs immediate response was to inquire about his injuries, which improved Ivanâs mood further.
He nodded, trying to be cool. âIâm fine, itâs just a scratch.â
Observing Lillyâs concern, he added, âItâs completely healed after soaking it in the water.â
Relieved, Lilly glanced at the pool with excitement in her eyes.
âWow, thatâs amazing!â
Such a valuable opportunity must not be missed!
âCome on, Ivan, letâs go soak in it again!â
Daddy always said to never let an opportunity go to waste and make the most of it!
Thus, they wasted no time and seized the opportunity.
Lilly grabbed Ivanâs hand and, filled with excitement, they both leaped when they reached the poolâs edge!
Ivanâs expression changed slightly.
However, they did not let go of each otherâs hands and landed with a splash.
As soon as Lilly hit the water, she immediately sank and began to gulpâ¦
âAh⦠Gulp⦠gulpâ¦â
Ivanâs heart panicked, thinking that Lilly was drowning, and he had to save her!
He was about to pull her back towards the shallower part of the pool.
But to his surprise, she emerged from the water like a jubilant little fish, exclaiming happily, âYahoo, itâs so refreshing!â
Ivan was stunned.
After a moment, he asked with difficulty, âCan you swim?â
Unaware of any concerns, Lilly replied, âYes!â
Her father had taught her long ago by throwing her directly into a lake, and she had learned how to swim from that experience.
Ivan asked in confusion, âThen what happened just now?â
He was the one who pulled her out of the water moments ago!
Lilly blinked and asked with a puzzled expression, â I just happened to be careless when I rushed out just now.â
Whatâs the matter?
Whatâs wrong?
Lilly was confused.
Ivan was momentarily speechless.
I didnât know you could do thatâ¦
I fell into the water and didnât react. Why does it seem⦠well, silly?
Watching Lilly and Ivan jump into the pool, the ghosts hesitated for a moment before following suit.
However, after soaking for a while, it seemed to have no effect.
The unfortunate ghost remarked, âIt doesnât work for us. Is it only useful for humans?â
The cowardly ghost closed his eyes, settled himself on a smooth stone, and soaked half of his body in the water. He remarked, âItâs somewhat useful, but not very effective for us since we donât possess physical bodies.â
The harem spirit nodded in agreement, adding, âThis pool of water seems to enhance the physical body. It can strengthen and heal physical wounds, but itâs not particularly beneficial for ghosts.â
So, Lilly and Ivan could spend more time in the pool.
Lilly felt something different.
As the icy water seeped into her skin, it should have felt cold, but her body could not feel the cold.
On the contrary, it was incredibly comfortable!
Without Pablo here, Lilly had no idea how to practice properly. She simply relied on her own intuition, focusing on how it made her feel at ease. After a while, white steam began to rise from her head.
It was akin to steamed bunsâ¦
Upon seeing this, Ivan also sat down calmly, with the water reaching up to his neck.
The edge of the pool grew serene as the cowardly ghost and others landed, keeping a close watch over their surroundings.
The foolish ghost gazed at the falling petals but still could not make sense of it all. âIs this the underworld?â they pondered.
If it was the underworld, how could there be a pool dedicated to cultivating physical bodies?
It was entirely nonscientific.
The harem spirit explained, âIt is the underworld, but a different realm within the underworld. This pool of water seems to have been separated intentionally from the rest.â
As she spoke, she paused and glanced at the cowardly ghost.
They would notâ¦trespass into someone elseâs territory again, would they?
âI think we should leave soon,â the cowardly ghost whispered. âThis place is too weird to stay for long!â
Despite being the underworld, it boasted vibrant colors and a bright environment.
Perhaps it was the backyard of some powerful ghost..
The confused ghost was confused. âWhy shouldnât we stay for a long time?â
We should stay at this magnificent place longer.
The unlucky ghost sneered, âWhy should I bother explaining it to a fool like you?â
The foolish ghost was confused.
Wasnât I right?
The ghosts waited patiently, and finally, they heard a splash as Lilly stood up.
âHey, look at my muscles!â Lilly exclaimed. She displayed her little arms excitedly, mimicking a bodybuilding pose.
Her small arms were slightly flexed, resembling biceps.
Polly, standing with both talons in the water, exclaimed, âWow, itâs King Kong Barbie!â
All the ghosts remained silent, processing the unexpected turn of events.
Ivan stood up, water dripping from his body.
âLetâs go,â he suggested.
He sensed a terrifying surge in his physical strength.
If he were to confront Drake right now, Ivan believed he could easily shatter his face with a single punchâ¦
However, for him, it felt like that was the extent of it.
This pool of water seemed to grant him temporary immunity.
Suddenly, Ivanâs gaze fixated on something. His eyes narrowed as he stared at a stone deep within the pool.
An engraved word caught his attentionâ¦
Ivan was stunned.
Lilly also felt a newfound strength coursing through her body. She believed she could easily keep up with her fatherâs car without any issues.
Moreover, all her injuries were healed.
Feeling a strong attachment to the powerful pool, Lilly could not bear the thought of leaving.
What a missed opportunity!
She had to take some of it with her.
She was not being greedy, just taking a small portion would be enough.
Lilly removed the lid of the jar of souls.
Then she began filling the jar of souls with water from the pool.
The jar of souls was speechless while Ivan was confused at what Lilly was doing.
