Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Polly never expected to be slapped by a small ghost beast! The small ghost beast was clearly terrified when it saw Polly, the Soul Reaper, but it slapped her while tears streamed down its face...

What on earth? "Hey, stop right there! How dare you, you audacious ghost beast, try to escape?” When the small ghost beast dashed into the house, Polly immediately chased after it.

Yet, just as Polly reached the doorway, a familiar figure flew out. It was Bellflower.

Bellflower, as the Leopard Devil, had just returned today.

Seeing Polly chasing after the small ghost beast without noticing it, Bellflower launched a surprise attack.

Smack! Polly was speechless.

Everyone, beware. | have just returned home, but | already received two slaps in a row! These troublemakers! "Bellflower, you're truly a troublemaker!" Polly exclaimed angrily. "You're so troublesome that you have no friends!" Bellflower cast a disdainful glance at Polly and ran to Lilly's side, rubbing against her legs, seeking affection.

The small ghost beast climbed onto Lilly's shoulder, tears in its eyes as it pointed at Polly with its tiny paw, gesturing to complain.

Lilly comforted it, saying, "Alright, alright. That's Polly. She just came back home and didn't come to catch you." She then patted Bellflower and continued, "Bellflower, you're back too! It's been a year of hard work, so tonight, I'll give you a big gift bag!" Polly was speechless for a moment. So, this small ghost beast was also brought back by Lilly? How long has it been since | last saw Lilly? Am | no longer Lilly's favorite? Polly immediately flew over and stood on Lilly's other shoulder, twisting herself into a pretzel shape while saying, "Lilly, do you know? | flew all over the world and visited countless households, but | could never find a home. Do you know why?" Lilly found it amusing and played along, asking, "Why?" Polly pressed herself against Lilly's face. "Because anywhere without you is not considered home!" Lilly burst into laughter while the rest of the Crawford family was utterly speechless.

The small ghost beast was shocked. It looked at Polly in awe and suddenly exclaimed, "Squeak!" So impressive! Such eloquence! Keep talking! Polly was annoyed while Lilly was speechless.

She carefully observed the small ghost beast and realized that it wasn't flattering Polly. It genuinely believed that Polly's cheesy words were eloquent! Polly felt quite proud and continued, "Can you at least give me a smile?" Small ghost beast said, "Squeak?" (Why?) Polly answered, "Because | forgot to add sugar to my coffee.” The small ghost beast was momentarily stunned, and it took him two seconds to react. Polly meant that the person's smile was sweet! Wow! So eloquent, so profound! The small ghost beast was excited beyond measure. "Squeak!" Polly didn’t stop. It fluttered her wings to blow aside the stray hair beside Lilly's cheek and said affectionately, "Lilly, I'm almost there. I'm just one step away. Do you know what that step is?" The small ghost beast stared at Polly expectantly, wondering what the answer was.

Polly said cutely, "Just one kiss from you." The small ghost beast thought, Huh? Oh! Wow, it's amazing! How cultured it is! It's a cultured bird! The small ghost beasts admiration for Polly was like an endless river.

Lilly never expected that Polly and the small ghost beast could get along, all because of Polly's cheesy pick-up lines.

"Hey... you're a girl." Lilly pinched the small ghost beast's ear. "Dad says girls shouldn't believe in these sweet words." Bettany looked at Blake. "What nonsense did you tell Lilly?" The child was only a few years old, yet Blake was telling her all this nonsense.

Blake replied, "I didn’t! It's time to eat. Everyone, wash your hands and eat!" Blake changed the subject and quickly asked everyone to come and eat.

Pablo, the weakling spirit, Harem spirit, and other ghost generals from the jar of souls had also just returned. Upon hearing this, they said, "Better late than never." Lilly saw him and exclaimed happily, "Master!" Pablo handed her a basket of flowers. "Here, Happy New Year!" These were not ordinary flowers; they were picked by him in Northin Land.

Lilly liked them very much and placed the flower basket on the flower stand next to the window.

Snowflakes were flying outside the window, and the light in the room shone on the flower basket. Through the bright and beautiful flowers, there was the sound of laughter and joy of the family that was gathered together.

"Happy New Year!" Everyone raised their glasses for a toast. Whether it was the Crawford family or the new members who joined this big family, they all had a deep affection for each other.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, gift bags were inevitable. Lilly was overwhelmed with gift bags, and then she gave gift bags to her ghosts as well as year-end bonuses.

Lilly expressed her worry about her Master not getting rich and not finding someone to settle down with, but Pablo just smiled and didn't respond.

Occasionally, in his leisure time, he liked to go to the sunroom on the rooftop of the main building of Crawford Mansion. He could see the entire Crawford Mansion from there.

Unbeknownst to him, this estate had become everyone’s home.

Pablo had been lonely for thousands of years, thinking that he would never have a family again, but he didn't expect to meet Lilly, take her as his disciple, and slowly gain many, many family members...

The road ahead no longer seemed so vast and boundless.

"Master!" Lilly climbed up and asked, "What are you doing here?" Pablo patted her head and replied, "I'm watching the snow." Lilly glanced at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

It was so cold outside. What was there to see? However, standing here alone made him seem lonely.

Lilly then held up an umbrella and joined him in watching the snow.

Pablo wanted to say he didn't need an umbrella, but when he looked at Lilly, he took it from her.

The master and disciple, one tall and one short, stood on the rooftop in this manner, observing the snowflakes descending. The previously desolate and chilly winter appeared to transform into a cozy and serene season.
