Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 79

Creating a malignant spirit required them to be trapped in their place of death and experience an uninterrupted repetition of their demise over a decade.

The female spirit had grown resentful after having been put through the wringer.

"I died a horrible death... A horrible death!"

Following her rampage, she shrouded the room with her fury.

"It's all your fault! Why are you getting in my way?!" The vanity spirit shrieked and pounced on Lilly.

This brat was also a child of an affluent family.

Rich, pampered girls were no good!

They were all pretentious phonies!

The spirit did not hide the malice on her face as she rushed up at the girl.

Pablo was just about to strike when a green beam of light flashed passed. Something seemed to be protecting Lilly!

Josh also yelped and backed up!

Poor Josh assumed he'd be safe if he stuck close to Lilly, only to be greeted by a creepy female spirit bleeding from her orifices bounding toward them the moment he looked up. He nearly ascended from fright.

He wanted to make a break for it but his legs seemed to fail him.

Lilly stood in front of him and threw a punch!

Her little fist threw the massive spirit into the air.

It was a sight to behold. Josh could barely believe his eyes.

Lilly's cheeks were puffed up with anger. She didn't know where the anger stemmed from. All she knew was that she was angry.

Ms. Sumo Wrestler was a terrible person!

Her friend treated her so well but she antagonized and killed her.

I'm going to beat her up into a pulp!

That was how Josh ended up witnessing his lovely younger sister mounted atop the female spirit whilst beating her up.

Every hit caused the spirit's vanity aura to be swallowed up by the jar...

Lilly was no longer the eyesore he saw her as...

She's like Ironman... Wait, no. Lilly is a girl. She's like Iron Man's girlfriend.

"You can do it, Lilly!" Josh couldn't help but cheer her on.

The vanity spirit shrieked. 'Let go of me!"

"No way!"

Roxanne cursed viciously, "I curse you to die a horrible death! I curse your entire family!"

"Back at you!"

That angered the spirit even more. "It doesn't work like that!"

"Back at you! Back at you! Back at you!"

That seemed to shut the spirit up.

Even Pablo and Josh fell silent.

The spirit spat out a mouthful of blood.

The vanity aura poured into the jar of souls with the spirit growing increasingly weaker before finally returning to her normal form.

She was skinny with her eyes sunken in. "It's not fair..."

What did I do wrong?

It's the world that's wrong.

She had been so full of hope when she first set foot into Shercaster City for work but everyone around her hated her for being a country hick.

I wouldn't have turned out this way if it weren't for them...

I'm not to blame. I'm not to blame at all.

It's this world that's to blame. Why was I born poor when there are so many rich people around?

It's all her fault for bringing me into the world of the rich and now she would never experience a life of luxury herself.

Everything is their fault...

The vanity spirit transformed into wisps of black vanity aura and absorbed into the jar with a resounding click.

Pablo shook his head. "Women are becoming more and more confusing by the day!"

Her extreme vanity mirrored her inferiority complex.

Lilly shook the jar. "Hey, Master? It feels like there's water in the jar now."

It used to feel empty but now there was a feeling she couldn't quite explain.

Pablo yawned. "Yeah. It is a jar of souls. It works that way."

It was possible to fill it!

Could it be...

Pablo narrowed his eyes. "Where's your croaking parrot, Tulip?"

It would not shut up back at the grove but now it was oddly quiet.

Lilly turned to look around and found the parrot standing under a lychee tree sleeping with one leg curled up and his head in the wings sleeping. "Huh, Polly? What are you doing there?"

Polly usually liked to rest against the iron bars and raise hell from there!

Polly awoke with a start and tilted its head as it stared at Lilly.

Pablo drifted toward the bird. "Why aren't you singing today?"

The parrot inclined its head, flapped its wings, and began to croak!

"My name is Kiki! Kikikikiki. My name is..."

It began to spin as if it were a hip-hop dancer.

It looked like a parrot that had lost its marbles.

Pablo was rendered speechless.

The green parrot fluttered its wings and shrieked, "It bites! It bites!"

The old tortoise was biting Polly's tail and refusing to let go.

"Uh."

Josh didn't know what to say.

Lilly tugged on Polly's feathers and said softly, "Please let go of Polly, Tortoise."

Josh snorted. "It'd be weird if it understood what you said."

Tortoises had a tendency to never let go once they bite onto something, which was odd that it let go of Polly's feathery tail.

It opened its mouth and shook its head. If they strained their ears, they would hear near-inaudible chirps.

That worked?

That was when Bettany knocked on the door and called for Lilly to head downstairs for supper.

Lilly raced outside after affirming that she heard her grandmother.

She felt hungry after having beaten up the female spirit.

It seemed to have worked better than doing the weight loss exercise!

Josh trailed after her and sat by her side as she ate.

How is she eating so much?

She had a bowl of chicken noodle soup, an omelet, stew, and bread...

She ate so much she couldn't move.

"Eat more! Why are you only taking so little? What are you going to do if you get hungry at night?" Bettany urged.

Grandmothers are a special breed...

Lilly awkwardly rubbed her neck. "I'm full now, Granny! See my tummy?"

What else could she possibly say to that?

She caught sight of a bowl of oatmeal which had her scampering away at the speed of light.

"I'm done eating now, Granny!"

She shot her grandmother a cheeky grin as she made a run for it.

"Lilly, replace an excuse to dig up the soccer field at the school tomorrow..." Pablo said.

Lilly nodded. "Okay. I'll keep that in mind."

She opened the door.

Pablo suddenly said, "Huh? Is there a new spirit now?"

Lilly felt her hair stand on end when she was greeted by the sight of what was in her room...
