Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 797

Lilly widened her eyes in astonishment.

"Wow-who is this hero?"

But as she took a closer look, Lilly was even more shocked. "Ivan?!"

Wait, how did Ivan end up here?

How did he get here?

And where's Daddy...

Lilly immediately turned around to look for her father, but he was nowhere to be seen.

She looked at Ivan, her little hand still firmly pressing on the soul lamp, while Lisa Mccarthy continued to hold onto Lilly. Everyone had a perplexed expression on their faces.

Harem Spirit whispered, "How did Ivan get here?"

The Weakling Spirit looked around vigilantly. "I don't know, we'll talk about it later."

From the top of a tall tree branch came the sound of rustling, as if something was moving up there.

Ivan drew a short blade from the sheath strapped to his ankle.

The rustling sounds grew louder.

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible!" Ivan said.

Lilly looked at the bottle she was holding in her hand and exclaimed anxiously, "But Master is not well yet..."

They couldn't simply take the Amphibious Soil with them, which was the most troublesome part.

Unexpectedly, Ivan said, "Peel off the tree bark and take it with us."

Ghost Bride was momentarily stunned, realizing that it was indeed possible.

Even Weakling Spirit and the others felt ashamed for not thinking of such a simple and direct solution.

"But will peeling just one layer of bark be enough?" he asked, keeping an eye on the treetop. "What if the Amphibious Soil has deep roots..."

Before he could finish, Lilly seemed to have made a sudden decision. She grabbed Jessie and said, " Jessie, please hold on tight. Keep pressing the bottle no matter what happens, don't let go." Jessie replied, "Ah... Okay!"

She stared at the bottle, gripping it tightly.

"Aunt Lisa, I'm coming down!" Lilly exclaimed.

After coming down, Lilly immediately went to the base of the tree and reached out to embrace it.

The tree was huge, even bigger than a high-voltage tower.

Lilly didn't seem to be hugging the tree but rather clinging to it like a little puppy.

Weakling Spirit asked bewilderedly, "Um, sweetheart, what are you doing?"

With determination in her eyes, Lilly exerted all her strength and gritted her teeth. "Peeling off the bark... The tree must be in so much pain!"

And she continued peeling, removing about half of the tree's bark.

The spirits and Ivan looked at her in confusion.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise as the tree branches vigorously shook. Lilly pulled the tree backward, even though she was so small, she managed to uproot the whole tree! The next moment, Lilly let out a low growl, " Jar of souls, hurry!"

The jar of souls suddenly grew even larger than the tree. With a flick of her hand, Lilly threw the whole tree along with the flowers and the things running amok on top into the jar of souls! After a cloud of dust settled, it left behind a bare, gaping hole.

The spirits and Ivan were speechless.

Pablo Belmont, who was suddenly thrown into the jar of souls, "???"

The hidden entities seemed to freeze in place, and for a moment, there was silence all around...

Lilly lifted Ivan up and shouted, "Run!"

Ivan, being held above her head, was completely dumbfounded, not daring to move, as Lilly carried him swiftly...

They ran through the forest, traversing the desolate gray land, until they finally ran out of the Gray Earth.

What Lilly didn't see was the large pit left behind by the tree she uprooted.

A group of black cats jumped down.

A black cat was being pinned down by another mighty black cat, struggling defiantly.

The leader of the black cats stared coldly and majestically; his gaze fixed on Lilly's retreating figure.

Ivan, being carried above her head, witnessed this scene and his expression turned cold and vigilant. Cats?!

How can there be cats here...

But it seemed that they had no intention of attacking them...

Lilly continued running until suddenly, with a thud, she broke through a hole.

Unable to stop her momentum, she tumbled over the edge of a cliff.

Fortunately, it was just a small cliff.

Below the small cliff was a pool of water, not far from which was a waterfall. The once silent surroundings now echoed with the sound of rushing water. Splash...

Both Lilly and Ivan fell into the water.

Ivan quickly turned around and grabbed Lilly, pulling her onto the shore.

Lilly sat by the edge of the pool, gasping for breath.

"Thank goodness we escaped!"

"Do you think they will come after us because we stole their tree?"

Lilly's current concern was that the black shadow would hunt her down.

Ivan shook his head. "No, they were just a group of black cats."

He briefly explained what he had seen.

If they were being pursued, they would have caught up by now.

But instead, they just stood there.

Especially the leader of the black cats, it was even more baffling.

Lilly exclaimed in surprise, "Are they really cats?"

Polly, shaking off water and drying his feathers vigorously, muttered, "I told you so, I told you so! They are cats!"

Hmph, its intuition was never wrong.

Ivan nodded, answering Lilly, "They are cats."

Weakling Spirit said, "Black cats are also known as Abyss Cats, messengers of the underworld. They have the ability to communicate with spirits. Those black cats are probably the legendary spirit cats." "They obey the commands of the Ruler of Hell..."

At this point, Weakling Spirit paused and looked at Lilly.

Lilly was surprised. Could it be true?

That black cat had just attacked her!

"Ivan, how do you know?" Lilly asked.

Weakling Spirit took out " The Utmost Secrets of the Spirit Realm" and flipped to a page.

"It's written here."

Weakling Spirit had a clear view of the tree when Lilly pulled it out and threw it into the jar of souls.

He felt that it looked somewhat familiar, as if he had come across it while flipping through the book before.

So, he searched for it again and indeed found the record of this tree.

"This tree is called the Spirit Tree. It is the sacred tree of the Spirit Cat Clan... It is said to grow in the Gray Earth, and around the sacred tree are derived Illusion Trees, with the Spirit Tree being the tallest among them."

In other words, the forest they had just entered was the Illusion Tree Forest, and right in the middle of the forest stood the Spirit Tree.

Not only did they trespass into the territory of the Spirit Cat Clan, but they also took away their sacred tree...

Lilly, "Um..."
