Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Blake sat up abruptly, his body drenched in sweat.

At that moment, he could not distinguish between reality and illusion. More accurately, the illusory scenes were the reality of his past.

Blake found himself unable to escape from the memories of the past.

He was Emperor Prosper! Once standing at the pinnacle of immense power, looking down upon the common people.

The fates of all beings rested in his hands, but ultimately, he failed to save the life of his most beloved daughter.

Blake...

Now, he was merely a mortal, a mortal who had journeyed to the Underworld to protect his daughter...

“Mr. Blake, are you okay?” the unlucky ghost called out from a distance, sounding concerned.

The harem spirit chimed in, “Mr. Blake, are you feeling alright?” The cowardly ghost furrowed his brow, observing the situation.

Pablo asked, “Are you okay?” Blake gave a slight shake of his head. “I'm fine.” He lifted his gaze, pressed his lips together, and looked around.

What played in his mind was that scene...

Lilly ascended to the Ninth Paths, vowing to break the shackles of The Order, only to be crushed to death...

He had given everything, even his own life, to bring her back and send her to the Hell Ruler Palace to suppress her soul.

More than a hundred years later, amidst the secret power struggles among the ten Hell Ruler Palaces, his daughter finally awakened, intercepting and killing the ruler of the Hell Ruler Palace at that time, seizing the position of the Hell Ruler with an unrivaled force.

Afterward, it was time for her to recover. He accompanied his daughter in the Underworld as they searched for a way to restore their spirits and bodies. Both he and his daughter had transcended the realm of the Underworld. For them, the Underworld was too small.

He could only watch her gradually fade away, dissipating day by day. In the long run, even if it lasted for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years, what would it matter? In the end, he would still die, his soul would depart, and he would cease to exist for eternity.

And this ice pond was constructed by him for his beloved daughter. He tried to create a new world at the border between the mortal world and the Underworld. Only in a new world and a new path would there be a chance for a fresh start.

But it had all been in vain.

Venturing into the mortal realm to experience calamities was the last resort he and his daughter had considered...

“Protect our daughter...” “Iwill.” That was his promise to Jean, one that he had yet to fulfill.

She accompanied him throughout a lifetime, and yet he had still failed to embark on the path that he and his daughter were meant to tread.

Outside the cave, petals from the flowering tree fell, causing Blake to clench his fists.

“Where's Lilly?” he asked in a hoarse voice.

The unlucky ghost had been observing Blake's every move. Seeing him clench his fists, the ghost felt as if he was about to get beaten up.

With lightning speed, the unlucky ghost pointed toward the room inside the cave. “Lilly went inside.” Blake stood up, still feeling a bit unsteady. He staggered and leaned on Pablo’s shoulder for support.

Pablo assisted Blake, but he could not shake off the strange feeling. Blake was still himself, yet there was something different about him as if he existed in an alternate reality...

You didn’t change, did you? Pablo quickly glanced at Blake's chest.

However, Blake released himself from Pablo's support and walked towards the room.

Pablo trailed behind and commented, “This beaded curtain acts as a barrier; regular people can’t enter.” Blake nodded, “I know.” As Pablo prepared to speak further, Blake lifted the bead curtain and effortlessly walked through.

Pablo was left speechless.

The ghosts stood in astonishment.

The unlucky ghost peeked from behind a distant stone wall, exclaiming, “What on earth?!” What's happening? The ghosts were utterly bewildered! Only Pablo, the cowardly ghost, and the harem spirit had a peculiar gleam in their eyes...

Lilly searched through boxes and cabinets, hoping to find something useful.

She rummaged through the vanity table but could not find any additional helpful pills.

Next, she ventured into the tea room, thinking that she might find some tea leaves, but the tea jar was empty.

Luckily, there was a spacious wardrobe and a large bookcase in the room...

“I'm sorry, Miss. | didn’t mean to be nosy or search through everything...” As she apologized, Lilly tidied up the messy area.

“What do | do...” Lilly sat down on the floor, wiping her sweat from exhaustion. “There’s nothing useful here...” “This lovely woman has everything—gorgeous clothes, exquisite jewelry, and books aplenty...” “There are numerous beauty and health pills in the drawer, so why not a few more bottles of life-saving pills...” The mirror’s expression changed.

Lilly's determination remained unyielding as she continued her search. Suddenly, she let out a cry of surprise.

The stone wall in front of her appeared visually distorted. She had been searching for so long, yet she had not noticed the empty wall.

Curious, she approached and turned the corner, discovering a large medicine cabinet hidden behind the stone wall.

Lilly's eyes widened with excitement. “Wow, it’s like finding a hidden treasure!” Inside, she found a spacious room. Rows of cabinets lined the walls, filled with countless bottles of pills. There was even a large purple furnace as it looked like it was used for making elixirs.

Lilly headed to the cabinets.

“Heaven Pills... Heaven Pills...” “Where's the elixir that can save Daddy? What about this one... Can it save Dad?” Lilly searched through several jade bottles, intuitively selecting the ones she believed to be useful, and stowed them in her bag.

After thoroughly exploring the bottom row of cabinets, she climbed up to the second level.

“It's so high...” Lilly grasped the top of the cabinet with both hands, pressing her small face against it, looking around the room.

“Return-to-God Pills? That sounds powerful, and Daddy could use it... I'm taking this, Miss!” Just as Blake entered, he saw Lilly in that position.

The little girl lay atop the medicine cabinet, determined to find a suitable remedy for her father.

Blake felt a lump in his throat and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Lilly...”
