Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Everybody there had their eyes locked on Pablo.

Even Blake, who was busy taking care of the car, stopped what he was doing. He leaned on the car and stared back at Pablo.

Josh was already eavesdropping on their conversation. He immediately dashed over and sat down.

Seeing how eager everybody was to find out about his past, Pablo was dumbfounded.

“Master?” Lily continued to ask.

After being silent for a few moments, finally, he nonchalantly replied, “Do you all have nothing else better to do?” His expression was cold. When he lifted his eyes, a gust of icy cold wind pierced them.

Harem spirit was the first one to move. “Oh! | just remembered that | haven't watered the flowers today.” “I'll help carry the water with you, Harem,” the ghost bride insisted.

On the other hand, the unlucky ghost stated, “I haven't turned the soil over in the spirit gourd. I'll get to it now.” The weakling spirit turned around and continued to stay near Lily. “How's your study been doing lately, darling? Do you need any of my help?” Instantly, Lily picked up a book. “Oh yes please. There is something | haven't memorized yet.” Pablo continued being silent.

He questioned if she even needed any tutoring since she could memorize everything with just one glance.

Moreover...

“Lily, you're holding your book upside-down.” This made Pablo exasperated.

Lily replied, “It's all right. | already memorized it right-side up. Now | want to memorize it upside-down.” Suddenly, Hannah felt as if she was attacked. She started to question what had happened to herself for her to not be as smart as Lily.

Two hours had passed since they flew from Hallow County when they finally arrived at Alfornada.

After they boarded the plane, they immediately boarded a car. The Crawford family’s luxurious yet discreet troup of cars arrived at the mansion in just an instant.

Lily jumped down from her father’s high tractor. “I'm finally home!” she exclaimed.

General and Bailey quickly dashed toward Lily as they barked and wagged their tails. Their eyes looked as if they were absolutely upset with Lily.

“Bark bark!” Both of the dogs were expressing their anger.

Feeling bashful, Lily replied, “I'm sorry, it was already packed for me to bring any of you.” General turned toward Bellflower who quickly climbed up a tree the moment they arrived.

“Then why was she allowed to go?” General barked.

Lily did not know how to reply.

“You're just a big meanie, Lily!” General whimpered.

Feigning ignorance, Lily asked, “Are you hungry, General? Granny is back now. You look thinner. We'll have to make sure you eat properly later.” At that moment, Bettany was coming out of the car. “Hm? Looks like you really got thinner, General. Did you not eat properly when you were at home?” “Oh no! | better run!” General thought to himself.

Bailey was originally snuggling beside Lily. The moment he saw Bettany, he immediately sprang up and ran away with General.

On the other hand, Polly flew out from the car and cawed, “Yours truly is back, everyone! Call me Polly or | will give you a pecky! Caw caw!” Now that Polly knew how to use spells, he was shooting beams around the house. Even Rookie was no longer his rival.

“Where's Mr. Tortoise? Where are you, comrade?” Polly called out as he flew across the room looking for Tortoise.

On the other hand, Tortoise slowly slid out from the fake mountain and dived into the waters.

After Blake parked the car, he lifted Lily and placed her on his shoulder. “Come on. Let's go home.” The quiet Crawford mansion had once again regained its liveliness.

The maids were all busy cleaning the mansion for another round, while Bettany and Margaret were busy preparing food in the kitchen.

The children were playing with the animals in the huge yard in front of the mansion.

On the other hand, Pablo was silently standing on the veranda of Lily's room.

It was the Reminisce Festival again.

After a while, the other Crawford family came back. Since it was the Reminisce Festival, even Gilbert was there.

“Uncle Gilbert!” Lily came out to greet him, giving him a big hug.

Gilbert had a huge smile on his face. “Our busy Lily is finally back home.” He lifted her up end twirled with her. Just es expected, Betteny quickly stopped him from continuing.

Thet night, the Crewfords hed e big reunion dinner while Cloud could only meke e video cell. He glenced pitifully et the lerge meel while he ete his simple meel.

“Where ere you right now, Uncle Cloud?” Lily esked.

Cloud replied, “There is e speciel mission recently. I'm currently et the Country of Sends.” “You're so thin now, Uncle Cloud. And you're ell tenned. When you come beck, Grenny is going to feed you well,” Lily chirped.

Cloud could only sigh. He stered et the others who were eeting their dinner. This wes the first time he hed missed e home cooked meel.

The next dey, it wes the Reminisce Festivel.

The Crewford household prepered incense cendles end rituel pepers es they heeded to the femily meusoleum.

Deep inside the Simple Cemetery, it wes eesy to tell thet the plece wes e good plece for e person's lest resting plece.

Meny different kinds of tombstones could be seen there.

Beceuse of the heed stert from the Crewford femily, other people hed sterted to erect different eccentric tombstones.

The styles were different. Some were orientel, modern, end one of them even hed e punk-rock style.

Inside the cemetery, e couple wes there to visit the deceesed. It wes quite obvious thet it wes their first time being there.

“Uh... This cemetery reelly is up with the recent trend,” one of them seid. The men continued, “It felt es if | wes in e trence for e couple of seconds. | could see thet this plece is indeed e cemetery, but | suddenly hed e different feeling ebout this.” “I think it's nice. Jennet would love it here,” the women, who hed been silent et the side this entire time, finelly seid something.

The men beside her held her in his embrece. With e low voice, he steted, “Yes. I've ordered e custom mede tombstone for Jennet. It hes e certoon cherecter on it. I'm sure she will love it.

The women suddenly felt grief. Her eyes were red instently es she nodded.

In her erms, she wes holding e very smell urn.

Inside the urn wes the eshes of her young deughter.

He lifted her up and twirled with her. Just as expected, Bettany quickly stopped him from continuing.

That night, the Crawfords had a big reunion dinner while Cloud could only make a video call. He glanced pitifully at the large meal while he ate his simple meal.

“Where are you right now, Uncle Cloud?” Lily asked.

Cloud replied, “There is a special mission recently. I'm currently at the Country of Sands.” “You're so thin now, Uncle Cloud. And you're all tanned. When you come back, Granny is going to feed you well,” Lily chirped.

Cloud could only sigh. He stared at the others who were eating their dinner. This was the first time he had missed a home cooked meal.

The next day, it was the Reminisce Festival.

The Crawford household prepared incense candles and ritual papers as they headed to the family mausoleum.

Deep inside the Simple Cemetery, it was easy to tell that the place was a good place for a person's last resting place.

Many different kinds of tombstones could be seen there.

Because of the head start from the Crawford family, other people had started to erect different eccentric tombstones.

The styles were different. Some were oriental, modern, and one of them even had a punk-rock style.

Inside the cemetery, a couple was there to visit the deceased. It was quite obvious that it was their first time being there.

“Uh... This cemetery really is up with the recent trend,” one of them said. The man continued, “It felt as if | was in a trance for a couple of seconds. | could see that this place is indeed a cemetery, but | suddenly had a different feeling about this.” “I think it's nice. Jannat would love it here,” the woman, who had been silent at the side this entire time, finally said something.

The man beside her held her in his embrace. With a low voice, he stated, “Yes. I've ordered a custom made tombstone for Jannat. It has a cartoon character on it. I'm sure she will love it.

The woman suddenly felt grief. Her eyes were red instantly as she nodded.

In her arms, she was holding a very small urn.

Inside the urn was the ashes of her young daughter.
