Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

As Lilly was about to rise, the Earth Goddess stopped her and warned, "He's here; don't go out.” "King Earthid?" Lilly asked.

The Earth Goddess scoffed and replied, "Him? Who does he think he is?" Lilly nodded with a hum. "Oh, you mean that despicable man who imprisoned you? The one who hides behind a veil of mystery, but in reality, he's nothing more than a timid and cautious figure who lurks in the shadows." The Earth Goddess expressed agreement, affirming Lilly's description. "Exactly!" Realizing that the Earth Goddess could sense the presence of the black-robed man, Lilly inquired further, "Can you also sense my dad? Is he here?" The Earth Goddess looked at Lilly as if to say, "Do | look like a detector to you?" However, she replied, "I can only sense him." She snorted and returned her focus to the small ghost beast. She added, "Within a ten-mile radius." Lilly was taken aback, thinking, Ten miles? That's still quite far! Despite her recent sprint, she sensed the black-robed man was getting closer, and weariness had seeped into her bones. Her expertise in using the teleportation formation was limited to small, fragmented movements. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so nervous, and she could have simply teleported directly back to the "elevator" leading to the underworld. But now, she was completely drained of energy...

Lilly sat down, and her stomach growled. "I'm quite hungry now. How about we have some Icemount Fish to satisfy our hunger?" The Earth Goddess looked at her with a puzzled expression, wondering if she was speaking human language. She observed in silence as Lilly took out the fish she had recently caught, along with a lighter and some additional equipment that appeared out of nowhere, including a small gas canister and a gas stove. The Earth Goddess couldn't help but ask, "A gas stove... What's the lighter for?" Lilly responded, "I just happened to have it." The Earth Goddess remained silent as she watched Lilly set up the gas stove on a stone, turn on the igniter, and place a magical pan on it. Lilly then poured water into the pot, which made the Earth Goddess exclaim, "Spiritual spring?!" Lilly asked, "Oh, would you like some?" The Earth Goddess said, "Give me a little." But what she meant by "a little” turned out to be quite a lot; Lilly fed her three bottles before stopping.

Lilly tentatively inquired, "If | release you, would you refrain from eating the small ghost beast?" After drinking three bottles of water, the Earth Goddess felt even hungrier and calmly stated, "No, I'm extremely hungry. | can't control my appetite.” Lilly and the small ghost beast were taken aback by the situation and decided to disregard it, choosing to continue keeping the Earth Goddess restrained.

Then, Lilly took out a cutting board and murmured, "Sorry, little fishy." The Icemount Fish was quite large, and she could only bring out the smallest one, so eating it was the only option. The fish struggled, creating a heart-wrenching sight, and she found it difficult to watch. Turning her face away and closing her eyes, she swiftly beheaded the fish. "Sorry! Sorry!" she mumbled remorsefully.

The Earth Goddess was left speechless by Lilly's actions.

Imitating her father, Lilly awkwardly cleaned the fish, cut it into pieces, and placed them in the cooking pot. "Just need some seasoning..." She fetched a jade bottle, ground the Universe Creation Pill, and sprinkled it into the fish soup, like adding pepper.

The Earth Goddess remained silent, astonished by the sequence of events.

Suddenly, Lilly turned her head and inquired, "Would you like some?" The Earth Goddess was the nurturer of all things, the mother of the earth, and all living creatures on the land were her "offspring." How could she consume her own "children"? Lilly then proceeded to extract several bottles and jars, all filled with pills, and tossed them into the pot...

The Earth Goddess marveled at Lilly's cooking skills, captivated by the process. However, in the next moment, a delightful aroma wafted through the cave, and the Earth Goddess couldn't help but drool; it smelled divine.

Lilly asked again, "You're sure you won't eat?" The Earth Goddess turned away from Lilly, firmly stating, "No!" After five minutes had passed, the Earth Goddess, having finished a bowl of soup, was moved to tears. "It's truly delicious!" Wait! Did she actually consume her own "offspring"?? No, no, it was all due to the coercion of the Little Ruler of Hell! She didn't choose to do it! Still tightly bound, the Earth Goddess maintained a blank expression, refusing to look at the pot of fish soup.

Lilly served her, remarking, "My grandmother used to say that you need to eat well to gain energy! If you can't even have a proper meal, how can you do anything well?" She added, "Come on, open up!" The Earth Goddess subconsciously obliged and opened her mouth...

Mmm, it's so delicious! But wait, how could she possibly eat it? Yet, she took another bite...

Mmm, mmm, mmm... well, just this one last bite.

After swallowing, she reflected, "Ah, | feel guilty!" Lilly fed the Earth Goddess a substantial pot of fish, various "vegetables" in soup, and mushrooms. Although she seemed full, Lilly continued to spoon-feed her soup and stuffed the Earth Goddess.

A simple meal concluded with contentment in Lilly's heart and the Earth Goddess’ recurring hesitance.

There was a slight bulge in the Earth Goddess’ belly. She gazed absently at the empty pot once filled with fish soup. Oh, there was no more soup left, only a clean pot.

Was it... really quite tasty? No, she was certain she absolutely wouldn't indulge again next time!
