Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

The small ghost beast leaped up and swatted at the Black Dragon.

However, its strike was too weak and felt more like scratching an itch on the dragon's body.

The disdain in the Black Dragon's eyes grew even stronger.

"While they are called the King of Ghost Beasts, in reality, they are just an insignificant clan in the Nether." "The Nether was where ancient beasts roamed. It is where ancient giants once stood shoulder to shoulder with mountains, where the four mythical creatures that were once gods reside alongside ferocious beasts from a long-gone era.” As they spoke, a huge shadow passed overhead. It seemed to be moving slowly, but it quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"That is the lingering spirit of the legendary Sea-Wyvern," the Black Dragon said.

At that moment, Lilly felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. She had fallen into a whole new world.

"Are there humans here too?" Lilly remembered the black figure she had just seen.

"Yes," the Black Dragon indifferently said. "They are the ancient witches, guardians of the Black Tortoise's tomb." Lilly felt like her brain could not keep up. "Are there really living human beings in the Nether?" The Black Dragon sneered. "When did | ever say they were living human beings? They are neither human nor ghost, neither dead nor alive." It stopped speaking at this point because it sensed that Lilly could not understand that at all.

However, Lilly actually did understand what it meant.

"They are like my aunt then?" Lilly exclaimed in surprise. "The ancient witches didn’t actually disappear. They were just hiding in the Nether..." The Black Dragon was puzzled. "Your aunt? Are you also a descendant of the witches?" Lilly shook her head. "I'm not. Can't you sense it?" The Black Dragon fell silent.

There was an aura coming from her that it had never felt before. The Order was not like it, so how could it sense anything? The Black Dragon felt that since just flying was boring, it told Lilly about the witches who guarded the tomb.

It turned out that the "people" of the witches in the Nether were extremely strong in survival and could even tame some of the lower-level ghost beasts.

Every year, they would select the most talented person as the guardian of the Black Tortoise's tomb.

The Black Tortoise was actually one of the Four Mythical Creatures, which had long since disappeared over time. The duty of the tomb's guardian was to prevent anyone or anything from stepping into the place where the Black Tortoise's soul dissipated.

"Are you a member of the ancient Azure Dragon clan?" Lilly curiously asked.

The Black Dragon blandly replied, "Of course not." Not every dragon could become an Azure Dragon, and not every Azure Dragon could be crowned as a deity.

There was no longer any dragon heritage in its bloodline, so it could barely be considered a dragon.

Still, no matter what, he had to show some respect to the Black Tortoise's tomb guardians. As long as they did not step on each other's toes, they both pretended not to see each other.

"So, that shadowy figure just now is the guardian of the Black Tortoise's clan and a descendant of the ancient witches.." The Black Dragon nodded.

Lilly finally understood why that figure could come and go freely around the Black Dragon. They were both pretending the other was invisible.

"In fact, | am very curious," the Black Dragon said with a rumble. "You are just as strong as Emperor Greenbow and Emperor Eastmount, so why are you so weak? You can't even pass through the door." Lilly muttered, "Is it possible that the two of them opened a back door together and then left through the main entrance?" If Emperor Greenbow could have opened the back door himself, why did he have to open it with Emperor Eastmount? It meant that they could not control this back door alone! She was alone now, so what was strange about it? The Black Dragon had no response to that. True, after the two Great Emperors opened the door, they left through the main entrance.

It even flew them there.

The Black Dragon suddenly felt bored and stopped talking.

Soon, they arrived in a mountainous swamp area, and the Black Dragon put Lilly down.

"I'll leave you here. | won't step foot into other people's territories!" It stared at Lilly. "You have a perfect and flawless aura, so you better be careful.” "I'll come back for you in three days. If you haven't made any progress by then, you can just die here." Lilly said, "If I die, you won't get the Golden Thunder Water either. I'll drink it before | die.” The Black Dragon did not say a word.

It was thoroughly frustrated. How did it end up with this black-hearted devil in disguise? The Black Dragon walked away with its small bottle of Golden Thunder Water as its heart continued to ache in irritation.

Lilly held the small ghost beast and Speedy in her arms as she looked at the jungle in front of her.

It was very lush with deep emerald green leaves and towering trees that reached the sky, blocking out the sun.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the treetops, causing the dense leaves to rustle and split apart, revealing a huge figure.

Lilly widened her eyes and whispered, "Wow, a big rat!" It had big ears and a fluffy tail behind it that was similar to a squirrel's tail, but it had a Totoro-like face.

The rats in the Nether were bigger than cars! To her surprise, the big rat stared at her with its fur standing on end. "Squeak!" (You're the rat here! Your whole family is made of rats!) Lilly gasped and looked at the small ghost beast. "It speaks the same language as you." The small ghost beast could actually speak. However, it speaks the language of its kind, and Lilly somehow could understand that language.

Was this the small ghost beast's clan? Was this its family? Why was there such a big difference in size? Just as she thought that, she found herself being surrounded once more.

This time, the ones surrounding her were huge "rats," massive in size but cute in a silly way, with fiery red fur.

Although they were an unknown threat to her, this was obviously a much better situation than being surrounded by crickets.

At the very least, she could understand what they were saying...

Just then, the two "rats" behind her were discussing something.

"Squeak...?" (Is she from the ancient witches?) "Squeak, squeak!" (Impossible!) "Squeak..." (Let's Kill her first and then decide?) Lilly was at a loss for words.
