Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chatper 1073

Chatper 1073

Blake gazed at the word “Emperor” before him, realizing that whether someone had roots or spiritual roots, at their core, they were still human. Breaking through with a mortal body, without any foundation, was an act that defied the heavens even more than others.

And now, he had succeeded.

With his slightly curly black hair floating in front of his forehead, Blake stood quietly at the bottom of the pool, perched on a boulder. He raised his hand and pierced through the water’s surface.

Ripples spread like waves of light, creating shadows at the bottom of the water. After a moment, a fish with a white belly emerged from the unfathomable depths of the ice pond, floating lifelessly.

It seemed like it provoked someone. For hundreds of years, it had peacefully resided at the bottom of the pool, but today, it was awakened.

Blake grabbed the fish and swam to the surface.

Lilly, who had been watching the ice pond, suddenly heard a loud crash. A slender and handsome figure appeared before her eyes, holding up a fish and beaming with joy.

“Lilly here’s a fish for you!” Blake exclaimed with a wide smile.

Lilly’s eyes widened, and she leaped up in astonishment. “Daddy!”

Daddy… Daddy shed his old self… no, he transformed!

He’s now a powerful Daddy!

Lilly cheered and rushed over, exclaiming, “Daddy, did you catch the fish? So there’s fish in the pond!”

She did not ask any further, and Blake did not explain it to her. He answered confidently, “Of course! Is there anything your Daddy can’t do, huh?”

Lilly praised without hesitation, “No! Daddy is the best, Daddy is number one in the world!”

A cascade of smiles radiated from Blake’s eyes as he swiftly returned to the shore, his clothes clinging to his body, accentuating the contours of his perfect physique.

The harem spirit was drooling when she saw him.

Meanwhile, the bridal ghost was a little shy.

“Bang! Bang!”

The cowardly ghost pushed the two of them against the wall and made them do a time-out.

With one hand holding Lilly and the other clutching the fish, Blake spoke with a gentle smile, “Daddy will grill the fish for you.”

Lilly’s eyes shimmered. “Okay!”

In the underworld, beside the ice pond, a bonfire was quickly kindled.

This bonfire would be considered quite remarkable in the entire underworld—after all, who else besides could ignite a flame in this realm?

The fish Blake caught was gigantic, unlike any other fish. The fact that it could survive in the ice pond made it abnormal.

“Lilly, find a pot,” Blake instructed while tending to the fish.

Lilly responded eagerly, “Okay!”

She dashed off and returned shortly after, proudly holding a cauldron above her head.

With a seamless swish, it was placed in the ice pond, and half a furnace of water was scooped into it.

The cowardly ghost, the harem spirit, and the unlucky ghost stood dumbfounded.

Wait a minute, if they were right, that “pot” should be a cauldron, and it appeared to be a powerful one…

Nevertheless, Blake acted as if he had not noticed it. He said, “Well… there’s too much water, but it’s alright. We can just use it to wash the fish.”

Lilly tilted the cauldron and poured out some water for him. Blake proceeded to wash the fish, placing the fish in the cauldron to roast them over the fire.

The fish meat was divided into two portions. Blake broke off two branches from the nearby tree, plucked some flowers, and tossed them into the cauldron. The fish was skewered onto the branches and roasted over the fire.

After a while, the fish meat was cooked to perfection, sizzling with oil, and a delightful aroma of fish wafted through the air…

The harem spirit and the cowardly ghost caught a whiff of it.

The unlucky ghost, Tinkerbell, Aunt Ugly… even the dolls, all of them smelled of it.

The ghosts had a gleam of excitement in their eyes!

It was the aroma of fish that made it irresistible. It was different from the offerings they used to consume in the mortal realm. This was the real scent of food!

“Mr. Blake’s cooking skills are amazing!” The unlucky ghost could not help but peek, though he did not dare to approach. He could only hug the stone wall and eagerly watch.

The harem spirit delicately pressed her two index fingers together and floated over. “Oh, Mr. Blake, you’re cooking! Do you need any help?”

The bridal ghost chimed in, “I’m quite skilled in cooking fish. I can help you.”

The cowardly ghost gulped. “Alright, you two, don’t cause trouble. Let me handle this…”

Lilly could not help but giggle, her eyes fixated on the fish, quietly salivating.

In the past, she would starve when she ventured into the underworld, and bringing food from the mortal world would entail uncertain risks. Moreover, she rarely felt hungry in the underworld. Although she would feel hungry upon leaving the realm of the dead, the food in the Hell Ruler Palace lacked flavor…

What taste could there be in things that had crossed into the underworld?

So usually, she would return home on her own. Besides, it only took about an hour each time she returned.

But now things were different.

Her dad could actually catch fish in the ice pond. The aroma of this fish was unique, and just the scent alone filled her with boundless strength…

What if she ate it? Would it make her even more powerful?

“What kind of fish is this…” Lilly drooled, noticing that she was actually drooling, so she quickly wiped it away. “It smells so divine!”

The fish soup in the cauldron was steaming, and its fresh fragrance became even more enticing.

While flipping the fish, Blake rummaged through Lilly’s satchel, extracting a jade bottle, pouring out an elixir, and crushing it into powder.

“We can’t find salt here, but this pill has a salty taste. Let’s use it as a substitute!”

The harem spirit, cowardly ghost, unlucky ghost, Tinker Bell, Jessie, and other ghosts remained silent in response.

When Pablo hurried back, he was greeted with the following scene.

Little Hades and her father were hunched beside the ice pond, grilling fish over a bonfire…

A pot of soup continued to boil on the fire, and to Pablo’s surprise, it turned out to be a cauldron!

Oh well, he thought, but they used the luminous pill as salt!

Pablo’s mouth twitched.
