Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

In the vicinity of the tree pit where the sacred tree had been uprooted on Gray Earth...

Ablack cat found itself being cradled in the arms of a little girl, and Lilly extended her hand to scratch its chin as the cat purred.

The guard cats who had been trailing the black cat stood by in utter astonishment! Your Highness, why would you allow her to do such a thing? “Your Highness...!” one of the cats meowed, “What... what kind of sorcery is this?” Another cat, taken aback, raised its paw to deliver a swift swipe, “Hush! His Highness has his reasons for everything he does.

We have no place to question it.” How dare they attempt to question His Highness? Regardless of what His Highness does, there must be a purpose behind it! Even allowing himself to be petted! The black cat lay in Lilly’s arms, purring and drowsy. But upon hearing the conversation, it snapped awake and sat upright.

Hold on, how did it end up in Lilly's arms? Oh, right, it vaguely recalled...

Lilly blinked innocently and asked for just a single scratch.

Seeing her pitiable state, it involuntarily agreed, thinking it would be a mere moment.

But instead of just a scratch, Lilly proceeded to stroke its chin and neck! Even a cat could not resist the bliss of that sweet spot...

The black cat contemplated leaping out of Lilly's embrace, but just as it tried to make its move, Lilly placed a hand on its belly and held it tightly.

“Ash, you're so heavy! Twice as heavy as Bellflower!” Indeed, it was twice the size of an ordinary cat, resembling a tiny leopard! Lilly adored the black cat and pressed her face against its back, rubbing against it with affection.

Wow! so this is what people call “sniffing” cats! It feels so nice...

Lilly buried her whole face into its back, rubbing...

The black cat was speechless.

It struggled to find the right words to express its thoughts.

After a long pause, it managed to detach itself from the girl's cuteness and spoke in a stern voice, “Let go of me!” But Lilly pulled out a bag of dried fish, “Ash, would you like some dried fish?” A hashtag symbol appeared above the black cat's head as it retorted, “My name is not Ash! And | don't eat...” However, before it could finish its sentence, the aroma of the small dried fish reached its nostrils.

Lilly urged, “Go ahead, eat it!” Unable to resist the scent, the black cat involuntarily opened its mouth and took a small bite...

Hmm...

It's quite... delicious...

The black cat chewed on it without thinking.

Simultaneously, Lilly exclaimed, “Is it tasty? My grandma made these!” They were originally meant for Bellflower, made from the finest quality sardines, specifically chosen as a snack for Bellflower.

Grandma put a lot of effort into creating this small dried fish treat.

Lilly had secretly tasted it herself, and it was delicious! Meanwhile, the black cat had already devoured half of a small dried fish.

Observing its delight, Lilly could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She needed to win it over. She had been concerned about its indifference earlier, but now it seemed fine. It also enjoyed the dried fish, just like Bellflower.

“Ash... I have a question for you. Do you know where the Ghost Abyss is?” Lilly asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Upon hearing the question, the black cat immediately spat out half of the dried fish from its mouth! She wants to ask about the Ghost Abyss by offering me a piece of dried fish? Absolutely not! However, Lilly was quick to react, swiftly covering its mouth with her hand.

The small dried fish became wedged between the black cat's mouth and teeth...

Lilly whispered, “Eat up. | won’t ask anymore.” The black cat, perplexed, found itself in a situation where the small dried fish remained neither swallowed nor spat out.

Is she really not gonna ask? The black cat could not bring itself to believe her.

As Lilly watched the black cat finish devouring a small dried fish, she seamlessly offered another one.

The black cat grew suspicious.

Is she truly not going to ask? So... it could freely enjoy another small dried fish? Meanwhile, the other cats standing guard nearby could not help but swallow their saliva, enticed by the tantalizing scent of the dried fish.

Lilly turned her head left and right, scanning her surroundings. “You guys can have some too!” With a swift motion, she produced a box of dried fish. “Eat up, eat it alll And if it's not enough, I'll bring more next time!” The cats exchanged glances, unable to resist the temptation any longer...

The area around the huge pit of the sacred tree had transformed into a grand dining scene. Cats feasted on the dried fish, relishing their flavors.

Feeling a bit thirsty after consuming two small dried fish, Lilly understood what she had to do next.

“Drink this, it's delicious!” she said.

The black cat, not taking it seriously, thought to itself that there were plenty of good drinks available in Gray Earth as it was connected to the ice pond. What difference could this one make? “Crack!” Lilly opened the jar of goat's milk.

The black cat was taken aback.

I've never had this before...

The black cat struggled, maintaining a cold expression on its face, but could not help glancing at it.

Lilly brought the goat's milk to its mouth, pouring a little and “serving” it with her own hands, displaying immense effort.

The black cat reluctantly took a few sips at first but then found itself drinking a few more.

Lilly said, “Ash, tell me, how do you get to the Ghost Abyss...” “Spit!” The black cat was on the verge of spitting out the goats milk in its mouth.

Lilly quickly covered its mouth again. “Finish drinking, | won’t ask anymore!” The black cat was skeptical.

Half an hour later...

Lilly bid farewell to the black cat, bowing ninety degrees in gratitude. “Thank you, Ash, for giving me the map! It'll be very helpful to me. You're so kind!” Lilly held a scroll in her hand, which contained a rough map of the entire underworld. Not only did it provide directions to Ghost Abyss, but it also marked the exits and entrances that led to the human world.

It was incredibly useful! Exchanging a box of dried fish and a bottle of goat milk for the map of the underworld...

What an incredible deal! Lilly expressed her gratitude to the black cat once again and skipped away with joy.

The black cat remained silent, and confusion filled the air among the other cats.

In a bewildered state, the cat, who struggled with idioms, stammered, “Your Highness... Your Highness...” It intended to question why he handed over the map to her so easily, but instead, it blurted out, “Is the goat's milk tasty?” The black cat was stunned.
