Just as Esper could not find a way out, a white figure suddenly appeared.
Pablo placed his hands behind his back and smiled faintly. “Your Highness, | have returned with the sacred tree. However, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to carry the tree yourself, so | came to return it.” The tree that Lilly had pulled out with her own hands naturally had to be returned by her master.
Pablo raised his hand and placed the sacred tree back in its rightful spot.
Then, with a flick of his finger, a shallow pond appeared beside the sacred tree, filled with immeasurable spiritual springs—those that he had brought with him from Lilly's jar of souls.
Lilly had given it to him, and he was now giving it to Esper.
“I have borrowed the sacred tree for quite some time, and | apologize for the inconvenience,” Pablo said to Esper. “Please accept this spiritual spring as a token of gratitude.” Esper raised his chin slightly, a look of “Well done!” on his face.
The sacred tree appeared even more lush and verdant than before, and the cats couldn't help but cheer. Their Highness had always kept his promise! Not only did he return with the sacred tree, but he even had the two-legged servant carry it back! “Long live the King!” “Long live the King! Your Highness, you are always our God!” Esper flicked his tail lightly, highly satisfied.
This Judge is not bad, quite good indeed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, wait... something seems off! Esper suddenly realized that Lilly had mentioned returning the tree and giving him something else.
She had mentioned countless items.
But this was just a pool of spiritual spring water, and it was so shallow that it could barely submerge a cat.
Suddenly, it felt like this king had devoured a large cake, yet couldn't taste anything...
In the mortal world, the moon hung dark and the wind howled.
The night was filled with a strong gust of wind.
Bettany closed the doors and windows, went downstairs to check, and called out, “Bellflower?” Today, Bellflower had disappeared without a trace since the afternoon, and Bettany did not know where she had gone.
After pondering for a moment, Bettany took out a plate of dried cod and placed it at Bellflower’s usual feeding spot. Then she went upstairs and asked Margaret to leave a window open for Bellflower before going to sleep.
In a certain room within a residential community, Josh and Zachary were lying on their stomachs, nervously gazing at each other through binoculars.
This small villa had originally belonged to Simon but had been transferred to Chloe’s name... On the third day after their wedding, Chloe and Simon started living here alone.
However, at this moment, Elsa stood in front of the door, Simon held his head in anguish, and Chloe stood in the distance with a sorrowful expression...
“I've been watching all night, and | haven't noticed anything unusual, “Josh, who was eager to see what happened to them, remarked. “| feel like a creep...” Zachary remained expressionless. “Can't you see... Look, that female ghost floated over. She was bleeding from all seven orifices, with a pale complexion... and she stuck her face right in front of the binoculars!” Josh trembled in fear and instinctively stepped back from the binoculars.
Then, Zachary sneered. “Ha, you're still so weak.” Josh became furious. “You tricked me again, didn’t you? You always scare me like this, so | couldn’t see anything unusual!” Zachary snorted, fixed his gaze on the distance, and said casually, “Blame the uneven path. If you can't see it, how could 1?” He stared at the villa in the distance, its dazzling lights shining through the bright glass...
Occasionally, the silhouette of a dog’s head would be seen floating by.
Josh fixed his gaze intently, questioning whether his elder brother had truly witnessed something. Having not used binoculars himself, he wondered if he was somehow inferior to his brother, who had access to advanced high-tech equipment...
“Did you see something?” Josh furrowed his brow. “Why can't | see anything...” He was about to take another look through the binoculars.
However, just as he swept the binoculars to the opposite side, he was caught off guard and met a pair of eyes in the darkness! Josh, startled, shook his hand and instinctively wanted to throw the binoculars away, but he quickly regained his composure and held onto them tightly! “Who... who's there?” Josh called out boldly and sternly.
To his surprise, Bellflower emerged from the corner and meowed, giving him a disdainful look. It was a pity that no matter how he looked at it, there was contempt in Bellflower’s eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJosh felt embarrassed. It was one thing for his older brother to look down on him, but now even a cat was looking down on him...
“Why don’t you do it if you're superior?” Josh retorted stiffly.
Bellflower looked at him disdainfully, as if saying, “Sure!” In its eyes, all the creatures in this world were under its command. It naturally regarded itself as superior, and it believed that Josh was in its way.
Bellflower skillfully used protruding surfaces like walls and window sills to its advantage leaped down, and crawled towards the Pierce Villa...
Meanwhile, someone continued outside the small villa.
Elsa looked at Simon with teary eyes and sobbed, “Simon, are you really so heartless that you're just leaving me behind?” “I'll be ruined because of you... | might have been a bit harsh, but all | wanted was to test how much you loved me and what you were willing to do for me. So | deliberately mentioned buying a car on our way to get married...” “But what did you do to me? You abandoned me and married another woman...” Tears streamed down Elsa’s face as she poured out her emotions.
Simon glanced at Elsa, then at Chloe, and expressed his annoyance, “Elsa, stop causing trouble. Go back now... It's late, and the wind is picking up...” Upon hearing his words, Elsa could not help but shiver, clutching her arms tightly.
Simon instinctively wanted to put a coat on her, but realized he was not wearing one. So, he hurried inside to retrieve a coat.
A dog wagged its tail and hopped off Chloe’s head, sticking out its tongue and panting, before following Simon into the house.
Once Simon left, Elsa’s expression suddenly changed.
She looked at Chloe with a mocking gaze and sneered, “Did you see that? | only said that I', feeling cold, and he immediately went inside to get me a coat.” “I'm still the one he cares about, and you... you're just a replacement.” Elsa slowly advanced towards Chloe, pressing her step by step, until she stood face to face with her. “If | were in your place, | would have left on my own. To steal someone else’s man and still cling onto him like this, don’t you have any shame?”
