Lilly did not know if these were any good, but her daddy had said they had been used to fix a hole in the heavens!
She’d just take them with her first!
Lilly moved at the speed of lightning, terrified that someone else might come along and cause her to miss out on
anything.
Within ten minutes, she had packed up the entire underground city into her spirit jar.
Had she been powerful enough, she would have been able to take everything away with just a wave of her hands…
She still had to run a little.
“Daddy!” Sweat beaded at Lilly’s forehead, but her eyes were shining. “What else is there? Can I take this temple
too? Can I take that big square over there too?”
She was talking about the base of the scepter.
Those were the only two things left.
Lilly did not know what everything else was.
But since the graves themselves were made of precious stone, the plants would surely be of value as well. She
would take them too, thank you very much!
Blake caught her little hand. “Wait, let’s see if there was a message left behind…”
Lilly frowned. “A message?”
Blake said vaguely, “Oh, it’s from an old friend of mine. He might have been here before us; I was just thinking of
seeing if he left a message of sorts for us.”

He had been here before but had not taken any of these treasures at all!
Blake understood what his daughter was implying and huffed. “Yes… that’s right, he left all of this behind just for
you!”
Lilly was confused again. “Why?”
Blake said off the top of his head, “Well… he is my friend! Of course he’s going to give you something nice.”
Lilly nodded. “Wow, he’s really nice!”
Blake chuckled.
Yeah, a friend.
The thought of this ‘friend’ having eyes for his darling girl made Blake grind his teeth. What an animal.
Even if that guy had started cultivating when he was young and stayed twenty years old forever,
Even if he had been the youngest out of all five of them.
It was undeniable that he had been around a few thousand years longer than Lilly!
How dare he have eyes for her!
The thought made Blake want nothing more than to crush everything here into dust.
He gritted his teeth, forcing out a smile. “Lilly, do you think it’d be pretty shameless for a guy who’s thousands of
years old to have feelings for a girl who’s just in her teens?”
Lilly frowned, pondering the question carefully before saying, “Well, does the girl find him shameless?”
These things were so complicated, and she knew better than to judge without knowing the full story.
She said, “Well, it’s the girl’s business if she finds the guy shameless. Let’s stay out of other people’s business,
Daddy. It’s not very nice to judge others.”
Blake did not know what to say in response to that.
Lilly said, “If she likes him, it would be like one of those magical TV shows where an ancient elite cultivator falls for
an innocent pupil. Those shows always have the girls screaming.”
This was all a trap.
Lilly felt like she was wiser than this trap now; love transcended genders and even race!
Just like a tree (a tree fairy) falling in love with a human being or a human being falling in love with an animal (a fox
spirit).
That was all fine.
Blake rubbed his temples. Forget it… What was he even saying?
Lilly might not end up with the Greenbow fellow, or she might even be alone in the future…
The thought made Blake sad, and he found himself preferring Lilly to be in Greenbow’s company.
Wait, why was he even thinking about that?
Blake led Lilly into the temple. He caught sight of the stone scrolls and stopped in his tracks with a frown.
“Lilly, we’ve got to hurry up a little.”
“Oh? Why?”

Blake narrowed his gaze at the broken page corner on the ground. It had fallen from the stone scrolls and seemed
like it had been broken by another person.
It seemed like someone else aside from Emperor Greenbow had also been here.
The thought of what had happened in the past made Blake’s chest tighten.
He glanced at the scrolls, and Lilly stood on tiptoe as well. “This is about the secret of the five most powerful
emperors in the underworld!”
Wait. The daughter of Emperor Prosper?
Lilly stopped short.
Wasn’t that her?
Blake did not give her much time to think about it. “Lilly, we need to go.”
“This scroll might not be that easy to take away; we’ll just leave it and come back next…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lilly had enlarged the spirit jar and raised it high!
Oh, she could definitely take everything here away,, as long as she was allowed to!
“Come on!” Lilly called out. All of a sudden, she felt a barrier akin to a person trying to lift something too heavy for
them.
Lilly frowned. “I guess I could break it into pieces and take those away.”
They seemed about the same color as the gravestones just now.
These Nuwatites were all the same, weren’t they? They’d be equally useful, whole or broken.
All of a sudden, Lilly felt a smoothness as the stone scrolls flew into the jar.
How easy was that?
Lilly widened her eyes blankly.
“Huh?”
