Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Lilly dismantled the formations arranged by the Ferguson family and then proceeded to the Preston, Taylor, Lean, and Zink
families, destroying the corresponding formations.
In the process, she helped them rid themselves of their bad luck as well.
Once she had completed her task, she returned to Crawford Mansion with Blake.
As she looked up, she noticed that the "plastic wrap" that enveloped the mansion had vanished, revealing a bright and cheerful
world once Jessiein.
The breeze was gentle, and the sun wasn't scorching.
Arthur carried a few rolls of plastic wrap into the Crawford Mansion.
"Little Miss Crawford, here’s the plastic wrap you asked for!"
Arthur extended his hand, presenting several rolls of plastic wrap he held.
However, Lilly was dumbfounded.
Arthur explained, "I didn’t know what size you wanted, so I bought all of them! Is this enough? I can buy more if necessary!"
Though Lilly was still perplexed by the random purchase of plastic wrap, she acknowledged Arthur's commitment to fulfilling her
request.He was so professional at his job! Lilly remained silent as Blake observed Arthur, who seemed to be awaiting praise, and
found himself at a loss for words.
Eventually, he managed to mutter, "Well done...Margaret no longer needs to buy plastic wrap anymore."
Lilly blinked, not understanding what was going on, but greatly impressed nonetheless.
She joined her father in commending Arthur, saying, "Great job!"
Arthur was delighted.
After their meal, Blake took out a map and marked the locations that had an abundance of ginkgo leaves and bells.
Bettany had regained consciousness and was now under someone else's care.

Finding King Libra remained Lilly's top priority.
Therefore, the next day, Blake and Lilly set off for the locations marked on the map.
Lilly's intervention in helping the Preston, Taylor, Lean, and Zink families in dispelling the malignant spirits made them aware that
their family had been targeted by Yena within their social circle.
Shane, who was a cold and petty person, beat up Yena after the incident, causing her trauma.
Eventually, Shane decided to abandon both Yena and her mother.
Shane proceeded to divorce Mabel, leaving her with little financial support.
Mabel was forced to return to her hometown in a small county, novelebook.com facing embarrassment and being ridiculed.
Her days turned into a mockery.
Yena, terrified and scared, no longer dared to draw attention to herself.
However, upon returning to the small county, she realized that her living conditions were far from what they used to be.
This constant reminder left her feeling restless and dissatisfied.
She could not help but wonder why, despite having a powerful uncle, she could not be like Lilly.
It's just not fair! For the next five days, Lilly and her father tirelessly searched for locations with ginkgo leaves and bells, finally
discovering a clue within a temple.
"King Libra once stayed here,"
Lilly crouched in front of a statue, assuming the role of a young detective, her index finger and thumb resting on her chin.
"Unfortunately, he’s already gone," Blake frowned.
"Do you think we can still find him?"
He gazed up at the radiant golden Buddha statue before him, a sudden realization dawning upon him...King Libra must have
chosen this temple on purpose.

But why? Considering that King Libra was from the underworld, he should avoid temples at all costs.
Lilly pulled out Tortoise.
"Don't worry, can find him.I'll just ask Tortoise!"
Lilly exclaimed, holding Tortoise in her palm and muttering under her breath: "He wore robes and sashes and a hat before being
put in the coffin, hopping like toads upon emerging from the water, with a knife clenched in the mouth! Hey! Thirty thousand!"
Blake was confused.
isn't it a jingle from a TV series? However, as Lilly held Tortoise in her hand, it unexpectedly flew out and landed firmly on the
ground.
Tortoise ended up on its back and spun around like a spinning top.
Tortoise retracted its limbs and head calmly, finally coming to a stop with only its tail sticking out, pointing in a specific direction.
Lilly picked up Tortoise exclaimed, "West!"
Then she flipped Tortoise over Jessiein and said, "South!"
Another turn, and continued, "Southwest!"
Blake was speechless.
So, which direction is it? Lilly took a twig and started to draw on the ground, explaining, "Tortoise said he went west first, then
south, and finally southwest."
Tortoise lay on the ground, leisurely munching on the shrimp that Lilly had given him.
Blake unfolded the map.
Heading west, then south, and finally southwest...
So it's feeding to...
Ecruteak, Though he could not be certain, Blake had a feeling that King Libra would choose to hide in a temple once Jessiein.

After elimination, they quickly determined three possible temple locations.
They just needed a hidden arrow down.
"We'll be heading to these three temples...but this time, we need to be discrete," Blake instructed.
This time, he came prepared, knowing that King Libra had escaped.
If they truly wanted to find him, they had to approach him discreetly.
After confirming the locations, Blake first took Lilly back to Crawford Mansion.
After being away for five days, Bettany had been discharged from the hospital and returned home.
Anthony called to inform them that Cloud had come back as well.
As soon as Cloud saw Lilly, he rushed over, picked her up, and twirled her around in a circle.
With a bright smile, he exclaimed, "Lilly, you're amazing!"
Lilly was spun around a few times, enjoying the sensation of being twirled.
Giggling happily, she was finally stopped by her grandmother before being set back on her feet.
"Uncle Cloud, have you finished your mission?" Lilly inquired.
Cloud nodded, "The mission went incredibly smoothly!"
It was incredibly amazing.
After meeting them, Cloud's colleague at the internet cafe mentioned that someone was seeking part-time workers and asked if
he wanted to joinin.
Recalling what Lilly had said, Cloud agreed without much hesitation.
Together with his colleagues, they ventured to Kongo Jungle with their cameras and captured the photographs.
As expected, the job seemed normal, but Cloud astutely noticed something different.

The "biodiversity" specimens they were instructed to photograph were all near a military base.
Ten individuals were recruited for this part-time job, with each person tasked to take a thousand photos.
The reward was set at 3,000 dollars per person.
In this day and age, taking a thousand photos might not be an easy feat.
Any girl going on a trip or even strolling through the park in front of her house could easily snap dozens of photos in no time.
For everyone, capturing a thousand photos posed its challenges.
Nonetheless, it would only take two or three days in the mountains to complete the task.
Cloud meticulously combined and analyzed the photos taken by him and his colleagues.
From the thousands of photos combined, he could roughly piece together vital information about the terrain and environment
surrounding the military base.
This information held crucial significance for military operations.
Cloud did not want to alert anyone about it.He simply handed in the photos, biding his time and waiting for the perfect
moment.He identified two targets from the photos alone.He then found two more targets on the military forum for fans.
Plus, he found two targets before this, he now had a total of six targets.
"If it wasn't for Lilly's reminder, I might have missed the last one based on the intel alone."
Cloud playfully pinched Lilly's face and exclaimed, "And you know what? The last one is even more incredible...it's in the
direction you mentioned..."
Unable to find any leads that day, Cloud decided to visit the market to buy some vegetables and stroll.
By chance, he spotted an old man purchasing vegetables, and upon closer observation, he immediately sensed that something
was amiss with the man.It's worth noting that these individuals were not old.
They were in their forties or fifties at most.
However, their appearance and demeanor created the illusion of them being old.

For most people, an ordinary man would be the least suspicious.
"I followed him home out of curiosity and discovered a hidden safe in his house."Now, that was different.How could an ordinary
man have a safe at home? Plus, it was hidden behind the wall! "But here's the catch...the safe had a combination lock, and
guess what..."
Cloud paused for dramatic effect.
Just as Cloud uttered those words, Edward returned from work and inquired, "Then what? Did you manage to guess the
password right away?"
