Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

The small ghost beast had just breathed a sigh of relief when it felt that familiar sensation again. It was as if something was trying to pull it away, similar to what the Little Ruler of Hell had done earlier.

In a panic, the small ghost beast couldn't help but mutter, "Ah, evil spirits, be gone!" It lifted its tiny rear end and emitted a loud fart.

Lilly was left speechless by the unexpected fart attack. Although there was no unpleasant smell, she felt her focus disrupted. She was so close to capturing the small ghost beast by its tail, but in the end, she failed.

Realizing the difficulty in capturing a living creature due to its resistance, movement, and potential for attack, Lilly decided to change her approach. She opted to begin with an inanimate object.

Lilly scanned the cave with her spirit consciousness. It was tidy, without blades of grass or small stones. The stones were all large, and as for the grass...

Soon, her spirit consciousness landed on a shelf in the hall, where several immortal herbs were displayed. She promptly attempted to retrieve one of the herbs. Drawing from her almost successful attempt with the small ghost beast earlier, she quickly honed her skill in using her spirit consciousness to fetch objects. She encircled her spirit consciousness around the immortal herb and tried to raise it.

Success! Lilly was delighted. It turned out that her spirit consciousness could indeed retrieve distant objects! During the battle, she could discreetly snatch the knife from the black-robed man when he wasn't paying attention, using her spirit consciousness. Excited, she waved her arms and legs, demonstrating her control over the immortal herb with her spirit consciousness.

Meanwhile, the small ghost beast had finally calmed down. As it turned its head, it inadvertently caught sight of the immortal herb frolicking within the medicinal hall. Shocked, the small ghost beast widened its eyes, its fur bristling. A sudden fear gripped its gaze, thinking, "Oh no! I'm seeing a ghost! It's really ghosts!" The small ghost beast's limbs went weak, causing it to tumble from Lilly's grasp. As it struggled to rise, it sensed a green-eyed gaze fixed upon it.

When it turned around, the Earth Goddess stood at the bedroom door, silently observing it with her piercing eyes.

The small ghost beast thought, "I'm doomed. When humans pass away, they become spirits, and when spirits meet their end, they transform into demons. Today, not only have | encountered a ghost but also a legendary demon." Just then, the Earth Goddess smirked and delivered an ominous warning, "Without her protection, I'll eat you..." With that, she raised her hand.

The small ghost beast couldn't handle the immense shock and, with a thud, fell unconscious on its back.

The Earth Goddess sneered, commenting, "What a timid creature you are, even more so than a first-level small ghost beast." Similar to ghost cultivators, ghost beasts also possessed varying levels. A newly awakened small ghost beast was typically categorized as a first-level. The most formidable among them were the ninth-level ghost beasts. Surprisingly, the small ghost beast before her was an eighth-level entity, yet it proved to be even more timid than a first-level small ghost beast.

The Earth Goddess found this rather uninteresting. To be honest, she was taken aback when Lilly first appeared.

Lilly was supposed to be in her usual cultivation practice at the entrance of the medicinal hall. However, to the Earth Goddess" astonishment, Lilly was actually in the midst of an enlightenment process.

What kind of being had Lilly become? She had gained immense power in such a short period. Just a few days ago, she was still babbling like a child, and now she had achieved enlightenment. Typically, it took ghost cultivators a decade or more of meditation to reach such a state of enlightenment...

Several days had passed. As the Earth Goddess resumed The Order's cultivation, she sensed a decline in her strength and felt the gnawing pangs of hunger. Her spirit energy was insufficient, prompting her early awakening.

The fish soup that Lilly had offered was not enough to sustain her cultivation. The restoration of The Order demanded a substantial amount of spirit energy, and it was evident that one serving of Fishy wasn't enough.

After being pleasantly surprised by Lilly's sudden enlightenment, the Earth Goddess once again found herself astonished by what awaited her in the living room.

The room was overflowing with a lavish spread of food. The ghost beasts were all gathered together, encircled by a Red Bracelet, clearly the work of the Little Ruler of Hell.

The Earth Goddess wondered if the food was intended for her. She couldn't help but smile as she recalled the Little Ruler of Hell's playful remarks about "hunting for her." Coincidentally, her hunger pangs had resurfaced. Feasting on ghost beasts was not something she had initially embraced, but she found herself considering it.

In the distant past, the Earth Goddess had primarily cultivated by absorbing spirit energy from the heavens, the earth, Azurite gemstones, and Neon gemstones. She had refrained from consuming demonic beasts, ghost beasts, or ghost cultivators.

However, her millennia-long imprisonment on Mount Everest had made it impossible to sustain herself without consuming anything. The mountain, crafted from her remains, emanated an eerie fog, but she couldn't draw in the fragmented malevolent energy.

Over time, more and more ghost beasts were drawn to Mount Everest, flourishing and multiplying in this place.

She couldn't bear the idea of fading away entirely. She recalled the individual who had bowed to her with folded arms before leaving, stating, "I don't wish to harm you, but | have no other option, and | apologize for the inconvenience." The Earth Goddess sneered as she remembered the individual's words, claiming an inability to harm her. While in reality, that very person had imprisoned her on a mountain of corpses, attempting to refine her. To her, it was preposterous to hear such shameless words spoken so boldly.

In her determination to survive and eventually have an opportunity to defy that individual, she endured hardships. She had reluctantly begun consuming ghost beasts. Once she had started down this path, she had silently sworn that ghost beasts were not living creatures, and from that moment onward, she would only feed on ghost beasts.

Unexpectedly, she had broken this vow a few days ago. It wasn't her intention, but the dishes prepared by the Little Ruler of Hell had been undeniably delicious!
