Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1104

Josh replied, “Zac went out.” The ghost that Zac tracked down recently was difficult to catch; he had been out for two days. Lilly calculated Zac’s safety and was relieved to get a good reply.

Josh suddenly asked softly, “Lils, I have a question…”

Lilly said, “What is it?”

Josh questioned, “I think that I haven’t grown up in the past two years… I am only one year younger than my brother, but he is much taller than me now! Even Hannah caught up to me!” He was puzzled and depressed. “I have Googled this question before; I should have grown at least 10 cm to 14 cm in two years! But in fact, I didn’t gain a single centimeter. I’m still 1.4 meters tall, just as I was when I was ten years old!” Lilly, who hadn’t seen him for two years, was now 1.2 meters tall. Josh was already struggling with his height; he felt more pressure now. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lilly couldn’t answer his question, “Heh…”

Bettany nagged while she was about to enter the kitchen, “I have been worrying about his body! We have gone to the doctor several times but couldn’t get any answers either.” Bettany was stressed about Josh’s height as well! Her hobby was to raise children with her food, but Josh was not growing up! She had been working on various recipes last year; Drake, Zac, and Hannah all gained height except Josh. It was a great blow to her that she failed in Josh’s case.

Lilly smiled in guilt and said, “Maybe he could grow taller in the future?” What should I do? I didn’t know how to make up a lie! Josh and Bettany were stunned at Lilly’s reaction; they both understood something from her expression. Josh was flabbergasted. Bettany quickly changed the topic, “It’s alright, Josh could wear heightening shoes in the future. Granny will make something for Lilly to eat now.” She hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

“Granny, I have a souvenir for you!” Lilly took out the chicken she brought back from the Hell Ruler Palace. Josh and Bettany were terrified by the souvenir. Bettany said, “What is this?”

Lilly showed it off, “It’s a chicken!” Everyone looked at the ‘chicken’ in disbelief. No one had ever seen a chicken the size of a sheep. Is it edible?

Josh shook his head. “I don’t think it’s edible.” It was from the underworld.

Lilly nodded her head affirmatively and said, “It’s edible! Daddy made this for me! It was delicious! My face had grown big because of this!” Josh was amazed by her answers, “We will eat it! Granny, I will give you a hand!” Lils gained weight and height after eating the chicken. Maybe I could gain some height too!

The chicken’s life was over before it knew it. Drake was curious about the souvenir from the underworld, too. Lilly took out the mushrooms she had picked. The kids sat together to remove the soil from the roots of the mushroom. Josh asked, “Lils, is there soil and grass in the underworld?” He wouldn’t have noticed any difference if Lilly hadn’t said these were picked from the underworld.

Lilly nodded. “Yes, they have it. The underworld is not buried under the ground. You can’t reach there even if you dig through the earth.”

Hannah immediately asked, “Why is that so?” I have always thought that the underworld was just buried under the ground! Hannah was not as knowledgeable as her brothers; she had always thought that she could find Lilly if she dug deep.

Lilly gave her an example, “The mortal world and the underworld are like two different glass bottles with two different barriers.”

Josh and Drake were deep in thought. The underworld was another space independent of the mortal world. For example, a game’s protagonist lives in a virtual world that people could never truly join. Correspondingly, there would naturally be flowers and plants in the underworld.

Hannah was the only one who was still confused. It doesn’t matter where the underworld is, as long as it can be dug!
