Chapter 944
Spoiled (Lily)
Josh thought Lilly had said those words to Miahâs mom, believing that Miah would be reincarnated in the next life.
But Lilly shook her head.
Doubt filled Joshâs mind, and after a long while, he heard her soft voice saying:
âThings may not always turn out perfectly, but if we hold onto hope, we gain the courage to keep living.â
Miah wouldnât be reborn here in the next life, but three years later, Miahâs parents would have another babyâa healthy one.
Lilly had just calculated it in her mind; they would channel their love for Miah into their second child.
Eventually, the couple would move past the shadows, though some wounds and memories would remain deep within their hearts, keeping Miah alive in their minds.
Thatâs how life is; it may not always be perfect, but there is always new hope.
The only question is whether you choose hope or something elseâ¦
Lost in her thoughts, Lilly suddenly felt the weight in her heart dissipate.
Her face tensed, and she exclaimed, âDaddy, quick, letâs go home! I canât hold it anymoreâ¦â
Josh saw her urgency and her expression⦠It was as if she needed to use the restroom and couldnât wait, almost ready to start patting her buttocks and running.
He quickly asked, âWhatâs wrong? Do you need to use the restroom?â
Lilly shook her head repeatedly, âNo, no!â
What she couldnât hold back was her breakthrough. She felt something rolling inside her âlittle belly,â
filled with spirit energy, wanting to surge through her limbs and meridians.
But spirit energy was insufficient!
She needed to hurry back and replenish spirit energy, which meant staying in the Hell Ruler Palace. It could take several daysâ¦
So she had to go back quickly.
Behind her, Yash chased after them, calling out, âWait for me⦠Master, wait for me!â
Lilly slipped away even faster.
Blake seized the opportunity, saw Lilly get into the car, and stepped on the gas pedal, zooming away.
Pablo, who was still standing in the same spot without âgetting in the car,â looked utterly bewildered.
Seeing Yashâs persistent ghostly pursuit, he blinked in place and instantly disappeared.
Yash arrived at the roadside panting, heartbroken as he watched the distant car.
He had run too fast, not even managing to read the license plate number.
It was heart-wrenching, feeling unwilling to accept itâ¦
Ghosts, they were real! He had seen it with his own eyes and confirmed that with a wave of the little masterâs hand, the ghost appeared.
And there was the Master of Mastersâhe saw the âlivingâ Master of Masters! So powerful, capable of teleportation!
He missed out on such an incredible opportunity.
It must be because his aptitude wasnât good enough, and the little master didnât choose him.
Yash decided to do more good deeds. He hadnât handled Miahâs soul-summoning matters well, but he still knew how to do virtuous deeds.
So he would help Miahâs parents with the aftermath!
(Miah: Donât come near me!!)

Lilly didnât make it back home; she couldnât hold it any longer in the car.
She instinctively clenched the Hell Ruler Palace on her wrist, and the purified spirit energy within it continuously surged into her bodyâ¦
Lilly closed her eyes, her mind still filled with newfound hope.
Throughout all this time, she had encountered the ups and downs of life, the joys, and sorrows, the infuriating moments.
But tragedies outweighed the rest. She had gained some understanding of life, yet it left an indelible heaviness in her heart.
Many times, her family would heal her, with Bettany preparing a sumptuous feast upon her return and her family showering her with loveâ¦
She would gather her emotions, and continue living happily, doing what she could to live a normal life like any other child.
But invisibly, the burden weighing on her young heart was more than she could bear.
Miah and Jannatâs departure from their family, the sorrow mingled with enduring love and hope, suddenly sparked a realization within Lilly.
In this world, there were parents worse than beasts, but there were also more parents who loved their children.
With so many stars in the sky, why should she fixate on the darkness?
Blakeâs car sped ahead.
Pabloâs soul chased from behind.
After finally catching up, Blake glanced over and asked, âHuh? Where did you go again?â
Pablo felt speechless.
He didnât want to bother with this deadhead. Turning his head to look at Lilly, he felt even more speechless.
Lilly leaned against the back seat as if she were asleep, but she was experiencing enlightenment.
Damn it, this made no sense.
He wanted to go back and hang on the sacred tree too!
Pablo left a remark, âLilly has another enlightenment. We shouldnât disturb her⦠Iâll go ahead.â
After speaking, he returned to the jar of souls.
Blake glanced at Lilly through the rearview mirror.
Josh carefully supported Lillyâs head, his arm growing sore, but he was reluctant to let go, afraid of waking Lilly and disrupting her breakthrough.
He understood enlightenment! Thatâs how it was written in novelsâgeniuses experienced breakthroughs all the time.
Now seeing it with his own eyes, he couldnât help but feel enviousâ¦
Blake focused on driving, though the carâs speed had considerably slowed down. It steadily moved along a road adorned with flowers.
Miahâs parents had no choice.
But if there came a day when he had to part with Lillyâ¦
Even if he had to tear open a rift in hell, he would follow Lilly and be by her side forever.
No one would stop him, not a god, nor a Jesusâ¦!
