Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Lilly gazed vacantly at the available options as if each one posed a fatal question and selecting any of them would be deemed wrong.

“Why must there be blame?” Lilly whispered. “Why are we compelled to divide ourselves into right and wrong?” Considering this perspective, a clear stream of thought rushed into her mind instantly.

The clear stream flowed, jolting her racing mind awake in an instant.

Wait... Lilly was perplexed.

Was there a limit to what's right and wrong? Doesn't that contradict cause and effect? Cause and effect are cyclical and boundless.

So why must there be boundaries between right and wrong, and why must we label someone as wrong? Lilly experienced a sudden enlightenment, and her eyes became crystal clear as the few options in front of her vanished without a trace.

She gazed ahead as if overlooking everything.

She saw life, each one was a shining star, converging into a vast sea of stars that now filled her vision.

Lilly smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, she put away the pen.

The pen of judgment merged with her mind, suspended before the sea of stars in her eyes.

The sea of stars and the pen of judgment moved and rotated slowly, following invisible rules.

“So, that's how it is,” Lilly suddenly realized. “It's so simple, just look at the sea of stars, look right in front...” Hearing her muttering, Blake questioned, “What?” No, it couldn’t be that simple.

Lilly's eyes refocused, and she exclaimed cheerfully, “I know now, Daddy!” Blake was astonished. “Well... you truly are my daughter!” Don’t worry about it, praise her first! Lilly wore a smile.

She stepped out of the car once again and stood in front of Tracy’s parents.

Tracy's parents had seen her suddenly freeze earlier, and in a panic, Blake had hurriedly carried her into the car, thinking she had fallen sick.

They stopped crying, and awkwardly stood up, grabbing each other's hands, their gazes fixed on the black SUV.

It turned out that Lilly had stepped out of the car again as if nothing had happened...

She ushered them both inside and reassured them, saying, “Sir, Ma’am, you haven’t done anything wrong. Don’t worry about what those bad people say.” “Let's focus on honoring Tracy! That's what matters, right?” Tracy's parents looked at each other with complex emotions and walked slowly as if they had come to a realization.

Then, Lilly brought Tracy’s soul up, and in the front hall, there was a table with incense and talismans for burning, to send Tracy off. They bid their farewells, and there was no regret or tears as they parted this time.

Gradually, they began to feel a sense of relief.

Tracy smiled mischievously. “Mom and Dad, I'm leaving! | heard | can be reincarnated into a very wealthy family! How great is that?” Tracy's parents wiped their tears and nodded. “Yes, Tracy, you're the best.” Tracy laughed again. “But I'll miss you too much! You're still young, you can have a second child! I'll come back in three years.” Tracy’s parents stammered, “Huh?” Tracy waved at them. “So you must take care of your health! Live well, because, after all, I'll be reincarnated into a very, very rich and influential family, and it'll depend on you.” Tracy's parents felt a mix of terror, surprise, apprehension, and heartache.

Will we be able to meet again? Tracy raised her arm and pointed to a birthmark. “Hey, remember this birthmark. | won't recognize you when the time comes, but you'll know it's me.” There was a black mark on her arm.

Tracy's parents nodded repeatedly. “Okay.” “Mom, remember, don’t worry, Tracy...” As Tracy vanished once again, Tracy’s mother, unable to recognize her, took a few steps forward, wiping her tears and saying, “Remember to come back... you must come back...” The figure disappeared completely, and the vibrant yellow flames in front of their eyes extinguished.

Lilly stood up, clapped her hands, and said, “Alright, you two take care!” “Live well.” “In this vast world, even after parting, there will always be reunions, so stay strong!” Lilly smiled and waved goodbye to them, got into the car, and drove away.

Tracy's parents regained their composure.

Lilly was right. They will meet again.

Tracy would return, without a doubt.

“Honey, let's quickly tidy up and work...” Tracy's dad added, “Let's change our phone number too. Those people might come looking for us here. Let's leave...” Even if they had to leave their hometown, they needed to find a place where nobody knew them, so no one could bother them.

They would work hard. Even though they're in their middle age, they could still strive.

Tracy said she would be reincarnated into a wealthy family, and they would surely become prosperous...

“Let's go!” The two of them swiftly packed their belongings and left their home that very day, venturing far away...

Perhaps when they returned, it would be a time when everyone had forgotten about the past.

By then, they might have saved up enough money to renovate their home and start a small business in town.

They did not desire wealth and power. They simply longed to be reunited with Tracy.

Three years later, Tracy’s parents welcomed a new daughter into their lives, and the baby girl had a black birthmark on her arm.

They knew that Tracy had returned.

This was a story for another time.

As Lilly settled into the car, she lay down behind the driver's seat and watched her father drive.

Blake was still concerned and asked, “What's on your mind, Lilly?” Lilly replied, “Daddy, it's better to have money!” Blake was puzzled.
