Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

If the jar of souls had the ability to speak, it would.

I may be a jar of souls, don’t judge me by my small size. For I possess the capacity not only to contain

this pool of water, but the volume of waterfalls!

Lilly kept murmuring, “Just a portion, just a portion!”

“Seriously, just one portion!”

Hurry up, hurry up!

The ghosts could not help but smirk.

Dear, do you know how much a portion is?

The jar of souls quivered, understanding that a useful jar of souls should know how to dig holes to store

more items.

Inside the jar of souls’s space, a natural pool and pits formed spontaneously.

All the water from the pool was poured into this pit and was swiftly filled it up.

Lilly sensed this and reluctantly stored the jar of souls, sealing it shut.

In that moment, she suddenly noticed Ivan staring at her with an open mouth.

The ghosts, too, gazed at her as if they had seen a ghost.

Lilly felt a pang of guilt and asked, “What’s the matter?”

One of the cowardly ghost tried to be humorous, saying, “Um… it’s nothing, but the pool unexpectedly

shrank all of a sudden.”

Ivan was standing in the water, and it reached up to his neck.

And now…

The extraordinary “ebb tide” of the pool prevented him from stepping on the water beneath his feet.

Lilly pretended to be perplexed and said, “Huh? That’s strange, why did it shrink~”

“I was just taking a little back, you know, because the jar of souls is so small…”

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

Ivan was speechless.

“Right.”

Putting everything aside, it was time to make a swift exit.

Feeling guilty, Lilly hurriedly went ashore and ran away.

“Let’s go, let’s go find the soul flower!”

“Grab a piece and bring it home!”

Master is still radiant now, but we don’t know when it will fade. And if it does fade, will it lose its power?

Therefore, Lilly must gather a sizable amount of soul flower for Pablo in advance!

Seizing the opportunity while the King of Cities was unaware, she quickly took action, extracting every

ounce of her audacity… and dug up all the land in the underworld!

Ivan looked at the guilty, greedy, and somewhat cowardly Lilly, unable to contain his laughter.

How adorable!

Ivan followed suit, grabbing her hand, and they ran away together. He exclaimed, “Let’s go, run!

Someone’s chasing after you!”

Lilly immediately grew anxious, clutching her jar of souls tightly.

Finally, Ivan could not hold back and burst into laughter. Accompanied by the pure laughter of the two

children, the area near the pool quickly fell silent.

Perched atop a tall tree in the distance from the pool, a small black cat turned pale with shock. “Your

Highness! She stole your pool of water! Meow!”

The majestic black cat crouched on the tree and spoke coldly, “I saw it.”

His mouth twitched.

Is this what they call a portion?

They directly poured away half of the pond water!

What a wicked person!

But let it be, it wasn’t theirs to begin with.

It belonged to someone else…

…

After climbing up from the bottom of the cliff, Lilly found herself in a different season. Behind her, the

cliff bottom bloomed with vibrant flowers and fluttering petals, but ahead, everything turned gray. The

branches and shrubs were covered in a layer of dullness.

The cowardly ghost remarked, “The pond at the bottom of the cliff must belong to someone important.”

The harem spirit nodded and added, “The waterfall should be able to replenish the pond quickly, right?

Let’s hope that the owner doesn’t realize that the water has been taken… Oh no, I mean poured into

the jar of souls.”

Lilly’s guilt intensified.

Someone else’s backyard?

Oops, that thought never crossed her mind earlier.

Lilly felt a sense of annoyance. That place was incredibly beautiful and had a different style from the

underworld. She should have realized that it was a place created by someone else.

In that case, it was wrong of her to take someone else’s water.

“I soaked in someone else’s pool water and took some away.”

Maybe she should just go back…

Her father always said that it was fine to take advantage of unowned things, but it was wrong to take

advantage of someone else’s property. Although she really wanted to bring some back for her father to

soak in since he was also injured, and Lilly wanted him to be healthy and well.

And her grandmother, Anthony…

Hmm… Maybe just keeping a bathtub would be enough…

Lilly appeared troubled and pitiful.

It felt like finding a large sum of money and then deciding to return it. Even though she knew it was the

right thing to do, she could not help but feel a twinge of heartache.

Ivan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lilly bit her lip and spoke in a low voice, “We’ve taken so much of someone else’s water. It’s no

different from stealing. Ivan, wait for me. I’ll go back now…”

As she finished speaking, she turned around and began running back.

However, to her surprise, Ivan suddenly grabbed and reassured her, “It’s okay. That person won’t

mind.”

Take it away, take it away, just take away a small portion.

If she wanted to, the whole pond could be hers.

Lilly blinked in confusion and said, “Huh?”

Moreover, how did her brother know that the person would not mind?

She was puzzled and asked, “Ivan, the pond is not yours, so how do you know that the person doesn’t

mind?”

Ivan paused for a moment and replied stubbornly, “Because I said so.”

Lilly blinked in confusion.

She was then dragged away by Ivan without further explanation.

Lilly was still puzzled.

Meanwhile, the other ghosts were equally baffled.

The jealous spirit huddled aside, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. But his jealousy

got the better of him, and he could not help but speak up, saying, “It’s up to you if you want to return it

or not. No one owns anything in this desolate land. Finders keepers…”

This place was not the world of the living or the underworld. There were no laws here; it was the true

law of the jungle, where the strong prevailed.

Even though the pool water was useless to the ghosts, the jealous spirit wished it was all his!

As soon as the jealous spirit spoke, the harem spirit snorted, “You’re still here! Hey, I almost forgot to

burn the bridges after crossing the rivexo.com fast updater!”

The foolish ghost chimed in, “That’s right, let’s grind and water the flowers!”

The passionate spirit added, “And feed the jar of souls.”

The jar of souls, which had just consumed half a pond of water, let out a burp.

The jealous spirit was stunned

Wait, what does this mean?

His eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Didn’t you say that if I led the way, you wouldn’t kill me?”

Lilly looked at him seriously and said, “Jealous spirit…”

The jealous spirit thought she was about to offer him some fairness, but instead, he heard her say, “I’m

sorry!”

“Thank you for leading the way.”

“Remember to be a good person in your next life.”

Polly chimed in, “Lilly, you should say ‘pay attention in your next life’!”

The jealous spirit was confused.

In the next moment, the jealous spirit was vanquished, transforming into a black malevolent spirit that

was swiftly consumed by the jar of souls with a single gulp.

Although the jar was already full, it did not mind having dessert.

After devouring the jealous spirit, the small gap on the jar of souls’ body healed slightly, but the

recovery was minimal.

The harem spirit shook his head, and the cowardly ghost held Lilly’s hand, saying, “Let’s go.”

Having learned from their previous experience of searching for the soul flower, everyone was more

cautious this time.

Their first objective was to find the nine-headed bird.

The Crescent Valley was indeed a remote location, inhabited only by ordinary ghosts, insects, and

beasts.

Compared to their previous destination, the place they arrived at now felt much livelier.

As Lilly, Ivan, and the ghosts took a few steps forward, they could not shake the feeling that they were

being watched.
