Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Ivan lowered his voice all of a sudden, his gaze sharp and wary. “Someone’s here.” Lilly calmed down at once, going on defense mode. “Who is it?” The weakling spirit and the harem spirit stood front and back of Lilly, looking around sharply.

Then there was the King of Cities.

He was soaring across the abandoned land, scanning for traces of Lilly like a laser.

He had calculated this before. One soul flower could get Pablo by for a week at most, no more than half a month.

Lilly would have to come down if she wanted to rescue Pablo.

But time was already up. Why did he not have any traces of being touched? The King of Cities refused to believe that Lilly was not coming, and thus decided to search for himself.

“If that kid comes down, she’s going to want to look for soul flowes for sure...” The King of Cities had searched several forests before. He saw one particular forest from afar, and immediately felt something was off.

The creatures living in this forest seemed strange, their voices completely different from normal.

His eyes lit up at once! “Of course the kid would come down!” The King of Cities did not waste another word before sneaking up and attacking with a fatal blow! He hid behind a tree, and saw Lilly and the rest as expected.

Lilly was looking around her like a scared little mouse, asking, “Who is it?” The King of Cities almost laughed out loud. How pathetic.

Honestly, he respected her for daring to come down with such skills.

“Be more careful in your next life!” The King of Cities flashed a cruel smile, wielding his giant sword murderously.

Just then, a clang sounded through the air.

The King of Transformation had appeared behind him out of nowhere, holding the King of Cities’ sword between his thumb and pointer finger! The King of Cities was thoroughly angered, fuming in a low whisper, “What's the meaning of this, King of Transformation?” “This kid's going against the rules of the underworld, coming down here in a human's body! I'm just doing it by the book!” “Are you trying to go against the rules of the underworld, going against me like this?!” The King of Transformation looked at him coldly. “Who sets the rules of the underworld, hm?” The King of Cities frowned impatiently. “Emperor Prosper! He set the rules, so it’s my duty to exercise by them...” The King of Transformation said all of a sudden, “Do you know why the ice pond at the bottom of the Spirit Cliff exists?” The King of Cities paused, his brows furrowing even more.

What was the meaning of this, bringing that up so suddenly? There was an ice pond at the bottom of the Spirit Clid, with plants and weeds that weren't supposed to exist in the underworld lining it.

This pond had been segregated by a barrier, blocking it off from the underworld. To put it more specifically, the ice pond was like a diamond of the underworld— someone had put it there on purpose.

The King of Transformation smirked. “Someone put it there on purpose, but it wasn’t supposed to be in the underworld at all.

Take a guess on why Emperor Prosper didn’t do anything about it!” The King of Cities’ expression was ashen. “What are you trying to say?” The ice pond was just the ice pond! What did it have to do with him killing Lilly? Yet the next thing the King of Transformation said made the King of Cities’ expression change thoroughly.

The King of Transformation said, “The kid in your mouth fell into the Spirit Cliff by accident just now. It took out half of the ice pond with it.” The King of Cities’ blazing anger cooled down at once.

Falling off the Spirit Cliff was no surprise. It was called the Spirit Cliff because any human or ghost that got close to it would be sucked in by force, killing their spirit and soul altogether.

But— it was another thing to be able to get out of the Spirit Cliff.

What was more terrifying was that the kid had been able to take away the water from the ice pond! This meant that she had something to do with it, as well as the owner of the pond, as well as Emperor Prosper! The King of Transformation had a ghost of a smile on his face. “So. Do you really think that killing her would be playing by the rules?” The King of Cities gritted his teeth. “Why not?!” The King of Transformation loosened his grasp on the King of Cities’ sword. “You can give it a try yourself, then.” “See if Emperor Prosper appears the second you take her out.” “You can also see if Emperor Prosper rewards you for ‘following the rules’ after you kill her— or take you out with a snap of his fingers.” The King of Transformation’s eyes flashed mockingly.

He had also seen Lilly get out of the Spirit Cliff, and could pretty much tell that she held a different power than Emperor Prosper did.

The King of Cities’ attack wasn’t going to happen. His chest flared with frustration.

He stared at the King of Transformation. “I don't believe you. You just have a good relationship with her, don’t you? | can’t believe the King of Transformation lied just to protect a kid who broke the rules of the underworld!” The King of Transformation smirked. “You can take a look at the Spirit Cliff if you don’t believe me.” He turned away from the King of Cities after that, but did not leave. He sat cross-legged to the side, meditating on his own.

The King of Cities wanted nothing more than to take the entire forest down, but ended up holding and and flying out with a whoosh.

He wanted to make sure for himself that half of the ice pond had been taken away.

Or he would not believe it! The King of Cities gritted his teeth. He would take five minutes at most to go and come back. Five minutes... he could still make it! He was certain that the King of Transformation would not dare to help Lilly.

At most he would just remind her to run faster.

With Lilly's speed, they would be in the palm of his hand within ten minutes!
