The small ghost beast eagerly devoured its food, and soon its belly became round and plump.
It plopped onto the ground, and only then did Ivan realize that the small ghost beast had swallowed one-tenth of the bucket of golden liquid Lilly had given him.
Lilly took advantage of the situation and stored the bucket inside Ivan's ring.
"This thing not only heals serious injuries but also helps with spiritual consciousness... Ivan, you have to work harder," she said.
Ivan thought to himself, "Yes, | need to grow stronger soon. Only by becoming the strongest cultivator can | better protect others." He accepted it and said sincerely, "Thank you!" Without hesitation, he also packed a gift and put it inside Lilly's ring.
Lilly's attention had already been drawn to the small ghost beast, and she had squatted down, poking its belly.
"Huh? Its belly didn't burst?" she exclaimed.
The small ghost beast was dizzy.
It lay on its back with its limbs limp, sleeping soundly and not waking up no matter how it was shaken.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIvan replied, "The small ghost beast is indeed impressive..." Crawford Ancestor picked up the small ghost beast, but instead of putting it on himself, he placed it on Lilly's shoulder. "Let's head back." Lilly nodded and wiped off the sticky substance on her face. After drinking the golden liquid, her severe injuries had healed, but the blood and flesh from before were still stuck to her face.
"I want to take a bath..." Lilly muttered.
Jean immediately grabbed Blake's hand and took out a towel from his ring, and Blake cooperated tacitly by taking out a basin of water.
After wetting the towel, Jean gently wiped Lilly's face, carefully washing her hands and cleaning her neck and arms.
While doing so, she chattered, "Mount Everest is neither near a village nor a shop. You can wash your face for now and bathe when we return.” Blake suggested, "Let's go to Everest first!" Lilly looked up, letting her mother wipe her face and suddenly feeling very happy.
Her mother used to wash her face like this when she was young, and she had lost count of how long it had been... Now, she felt her mother's care once again.
Having a mother was a wonderful feeling. Children with mothers were very lucky.
It wasn't that fathers weren't good, but nothing could replace a mother's care.
"Sob..." Lilly clung to Jean's neck, acting spoiled with her mother. "I can't walk anymore. Daddy, | don't want to leave!" Blake laughed and bent slightly, lifting her on his back.
Lilly lay on her father's broad back, finally feeling tired and sleepy.
"Well, this is goodbye," Ivan said. "Until next time." Lilly opened her eyes. "Huh? Where are you going, Ivan?" She was curious. Weren't they going to Everest together? They could take a bath and rest there, and then she could take him to play in the underworld.
But Ivan shook his head and said, "I've been out for a long time. My parents must be worried, so | need to go back." Lilly thought about it and agreed. Everyone had parents who were worried about them.
Jean suggested gently, "Why don't you let Mr. MacNeil take you home?" Ivan smiled. "Thank you, Miss Crawford, but | can return home alone." Let Mr. MacNeil send me home? He felt he would be sent to heaven rather than anywhere, but that was just a joke.
Ivan bid farewell to Lilly and set off on his way home alone.
At first, Lilly had some thoughts, but she quickly fell asleep while lying on Blake's back.
She slept deeply.
Her father carried her out of Mount Everest, back to Everest, and arrived at the best inn owned by Crawford Ancestor.
Back at Mount Everest, the Earth Goddess felt her lips twitching.
Wow, what a surprise! They came to my mountain to pass the Test of Thunder and left just like that after destroying half of it? Hey, wait! Aren't you guys forgetting something? The Earth Goddess shook the iron chains on her body and sat on the chair, feeling very frustrated and speechless as she crossed her arms.
At that moment, a squeak sounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA round-eyed little creature that looked like a hamster and a squirrel ran into the cave, carrying a small backpack on its back.
"Squeak!" The small ghost beast climbed onto the stone table in a few jumps and squeaked at the Earth Goddess.
"It's you!" the Earth Goddess rested her chin on her hand and flipped the small ghost beast over with a wave of her hand.
Then, she squeezed it flat like a ball of dough.
"What's the matter? Your little master didn't come, so they sent you? What do you want from me?" The small ghost beast held its dizzy head and protested against being squeezed. "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" Feeling bored, the Earth Goddess placed it on the table and said, "Alright, why did they send you?" The small ghost beast twisted its body and scratched its back with its small paws, removing the small backpack from its back.
Then, it ummaged around and took out a ring.
"Is this for me?" the Earth Goddess raised an eyebrow.
The small ghost beast replied, "Squeak! Squeak!" The Earth Goddess suspiciously looked at the small ghost beast, then glanced at the ring.
She sneered. "They promised to unlock the chain for me but didn't, so they ran away out of guilt and sent you." She had seen all kinds of good things, so did she need these little trinkets? They were nothing more than pills and lcemount Fish.
Those weren't anything interesting for her, and she preferred having those two little ones stay here and keep her company.
The Earth Goddess absentmindedly summoned a bucket of water from her ring and instinctively said, "What the heck would | need a bucket of water? | don't need this—" Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes widened.
