Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Lilly departed from the Crawford Mansion the next day.

While everyone was still asleep, she quietly went downstairs and found Matthan rubbing his eyes, standing at the door. "Why did you wake up?" she asked softly.

Matthan looked up at her and said unhappily, "You're leaving." Lilly playfully pinched his nose and replied, "I will be back soon.” Speedy clung to Lilly's arm and solemnly vowed, "Master, rest assured that | will protect your sister!" Matthan rubbed his eyes again, still half-asleep. Lilly picked him up and quietly carried him into his room, placing him on his small bed.

At the moment, he was still a child, and it was Drake who shared a bed with him.

Lilly glanced at Drake, who was still asleep, his breathing even. She whispered softly, "Sleep, Matthan. Sleep well." She gently caressed him with her palm, and the boy soon fell asleep.

Lilly then took Speedy and disappeared from the room.

Drake silently opened his eyes, feeling a little down. His sister had left, but he couldn't bring himself to wake up and say goodbye to her. He really didn't like goodbyes, which made him feel sad. She'll probably be away for a long time this time, but her sudden return gives everyone something new to look forward to in life. Maybe she'll come back tonight.

Just then, he noticed something shiny. He turned his head and was stunned.

The room was filled with piles of gold and precious gems. They sparkled and shone even without the lights on. They could dazzle people with just a little bit of light from outside.

Drake instinctively stood up and saw a note pinned under the pile of gold. It read, ‘Drake, | saw your eyelashes flutter. You were pretending to be asleep! I'm off now, but before | go, I'm giving you these gifts. When | come back next time, I'll bring you even more so that you and Uncle Anthony won't have to work so hard. When you don't feel like working hard, you can just lie down, and I'll bring you gold. You can also go to school like everyone else, become a popular senior and a campus heartthrob, and enjoy being carefree." Drake's eyes became moist, and he couldn't help but smile. "You silly girl. I'm already a popular senior and a campus heartthrob who's living a carefree life." Bettany woke up early. Even though Lilly had said last night that she would leave early in the morning, she still wanted to see if she could make breakfast for Lilly before she left. However, Lilly was already gone.

Bettany sighed, but she quickly perked up and knocked on each door after preparing breakfast. "Time to wake up!" Zachary had already brushed his teeth, washed his face, and dressed neatly before he opened the door and came out.

Drake, needless to say, had gotten up early.

Lastly, there was Hannah. She hurriedly got dressed while complaining, "Oh, Grandma! Can you let me sleep for five more minutes in the future? | can have breakfast on my way to school.” Bettany smiled tenderly. "How about | don't wake you up in the morning and just carry you to the car? That way, you can sleep all the way to school and quickly have breakfast when you enter the school?" Hannah wanted to say that it would be nice, but seeing her grandmother's gentle smile, she held back her reply.

Lilly was pondering about the palace at the bottom of the pond.

She returned to the Human Realm with the weapon spirit and visited Matthan. Although she had only stayed for a day, she rushed back overnight after the previous scare of assuming that the palace had been intruded. The reason she couldn't take the palace before was that the weapon spirit didn't recognize her. Shouldn't it be possible now? But | still can't take it! "I wonder why | can't take this palace," Lilly wondered.

The spirit replied, 'l can't free myself from it either, so it's no wonder that you can't take it." It couldn't pull itself out of the palace. 'l didn't have a foundation originally. Before my master left, he mixed some immortality stones with red sand to make ‘concrete,’ giving me a foundation. This foundation extends to the Nether." Lilly was stunned. The foundation really does extend to the Nether! | knew it! I've tried every method before, but | couldn't take the palace. Turns out that Matthan used this trick in his previous life.

Just then, the spirit continued, "My master said that there are too many talented individuals and extraordinary people in this world, and he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be anyone stronger than him. So, double security was needed.’ The first security measure was to hide all valuable items in the interior space of the palace, which those who didn't master the order of time and space couldn't access.

The second security measure was to extend the foundation of the palace to the Nether.

Now, however, the spirit found itself in a dilemma. 'If | want to leave, | have to go with the physical entity of the palace.’ It couldn't leave as a separate spirit, so it was still necessary to pull out the palace.

Dudroinia had four famous sayings, which were, "Since we're here..." "It's Christmas," "He's still a child," and "They're already dead..." Lilly said, "Since we're here... we might as well give it a try." Without hesitation, Lilly, despite not knowing exactly where the Nether was, continuously teleported downward along the palace's foundation. She later found that the foundation was not actually deep; it was probably only about 300 feet deep. The "foundation" down below was more of a passageway to the Nether than a foundation.

And then, much to her astonishment, she actually saw a very familiar chain wrapped around the end of this passage—the Nether Chain! Huh? Lilly was confused. "It's the Earth Goddess’ chain... Did your master tie it to the passageway back then?" This shouldn't be right. Why would the Earth Goddess’ Nether Chain be tied to Emperor Eastmount's palace?
