Chapter 202 I Also Receive Some Gifts


    The Requiem Manuscript was a book that documented the lives and deaths of mortals. Their karma


    from the past and present were intertwined. It keeps a record of mortal behavior in the past and future.


    Everything is predetermined before a person is even born.


    When Pablo flipped the pages of the thin manuscript that recorded the destinies of countless beings,


    he found a new line of red text that appeared beneath Lilly''s name and read, "The test of Inner


    Demons, cannot rely on external assistance".


    Pablo frowned and thought to himself.


    What kind of inner demons could a three-year-old child have? Given that it was in red font, this must be


    a serious matter. Not only that, but I couldn''t provide any help either. Worst of all, her foe is a slick


    ghost!


    Lilly asked, "Master, why is that slick ghost targeting us?"


    Uncle Jonas was the first victim, and now Zac is the second.


    Pablo shook his head and exined, "He''s not targeting other people, but you."


    Lilly was puzzled.


    If it''s targeting me, it shoulde after me. Why would that ghost go after Uncle Jonas and Zac?


    Lilly decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with that slick ghostter. After all, if one were to be


    a ghost, one should be upholding a standard of conduct.


    "I need to do a divination to find where that slick ghost is hiding," Lilly murmured to herself.


    …


    The little one ran outside and grabbed the tortoise that was enjoying the sun on the rockery near the


    garden fountain. When Little Lilly flipped the tortoise around, she eximed, "Haha!"


    The old tortoise remained calm throughout. It lies t on all four legs, with its head and tail both resting


    Polly stood on the side. The parrot waited for the moment the tortoise extended its head and stretched


    its neck to peck at the tortoise.


    Lilly grabbed Polly and ced it on her shoulder. She sternly warned, "Polly, you can''t cause trouble,


    okay?"


    Pablo looked at Lilly, who was squatting and tossing Tortoise in front of it. She appeared sweet and


    innocent, and there was no sign of worry in her clear, unclouded eyes.


    Maybe things aren''t as serious as I assume?


    Mr. Tortoise spun around on the ground and finally came to a stop.


    Lilly extended her index finger and made a gesture. She asked, "Mr. Tortoise, that slick ghost is in


    South City, right?"


    Mr. Tortoise remained silent, but Polly wagged its head as if it had understood everything. Polly


    eximed, "It says yes, yes, yes!"


    "Mm-hmm, I get it now," Lilly said with a nod.


    Pablo was tongue-tied. In actuality, he had haunted that slick ghost all the way to the South City; that


    ce was itsst known location. It appeared as though they had to go there.


    …


    Bryson went home in the evening of the second day of Midsummer''s Day. The sweet scent of cake


    permeated the entire house. The strawberry cupcakes were baked in the oven.


    Lilly filled those cupcakes into a small basket. She counted out loud, "One, two, five, ten, eleven."


    ke held the lid of the oven while he leaned against the kitchen ind. He asked, "Can you finish so


    many cakes?"


    Lilly nodded and answered, "Uncle Bryson said he wants to eat eleven."


    ke pursed his lips and secretly thought in his mind. Given that he made Lilly work so hard and


    personally served him the cake, Bryson had better be able to eat all of it.


    Bryson was at the kitchen door. When he overheard this, he could not help but smile. The little one


    remembered this clearly.


    "Lilly," Bryson called out to the little girl with a warm and pleasant voice.


    Lilly turned around, and she saw Bryson in a pilot''s uniform. Her eyes immediately lit up. She said,


    "Wow, Uncle Bryson looks so handsome!"


    ke thought to himself. Tsk, am I not worthy of my daughter''s attention?


    Lilly handed the basket to Bryson and looked proud of her achievement. She eximed, "Uncle


    Bryson, here are eleven cupcakes for you!"


    The basket had beenpletely filled by her.


    Bryson could not help but pick Lilly up from the ground. He took out an exquisite little gift box and said,


    "I have a gift for you."


    Lilly eximed in surprise, "Wow!"


    I have a gift.


    "Thank you, Uncle Bryson! Uncle Bryson is the best!" Lilly thanked Bryson and gave him a warm neck

    hug.


    …


    Following Pablo''s advice, Lilly mentioned that she wanted to go to South City during dinner.


    Bettany quickly put down her spoon and quickly turned it down. She asked, "No way. And you even


    n to travel by yourself? Are you kidding me?"


    Lilly exined, "I''m not alone. I''ll travel with Zac."


    The family reached an anonymous opinion when she mentioned Zachary. How absurd would it be for


    one child to apany another child to travel to such a faraway city?


    Zachary sneered, "Haha!"


    I wouldn''t go even if they asked me to!


    After setting his te and cutlery down, Zachary returned immediately to his room.


    When Lilly saw that everyone disagreed with her travel n, The little girl spoke with the fiercest


    expression while using the cutest words. She pulled a long face and pleaded fiercely, "I''m begging you!


    Please agree with my request!"


    Ultimately, ke stepped in and seeded in persuading everyone.


    Bettany wheeled herself into Lilly''s room that night. She urged, "Lilly, this is an amulet I inherited from


    my great-great-grandmother. I want you to have this."


    It was a mugwort herb bag that was often worn by the babies. Bettany had always considered it a


    sentimental heirloom. The herb had no value in itself, but the bag—made with exquisite embroidery by


    Bettany''s great, great grandmother—was one of a kind.


    "Thank you, Granny!" Lilly expressed her gratitude and kissed Bettany on the cheek.


    Lilly reminded her, "Granny, don''t be too eager to stand up! You must hold back until you feel


    something with your feet."


    Actually, she was itching to get up and wanted to go for a run, but Bettany lovingly patted her head and


    said, "Okay, okay!"


    Shortly after, Anthony entered her room with a box. He opened the box and set it in front of Lilly.


    Lilly eximed, "Wow!"


    The box was packed with various items, including yellow paper, talismans, ritual des, a looking


    ss, and a spiritualpass. Lilly found three ritual des inside the box.


    Anthony said, "I didn''t know what you needed, so I randomly bought a few things for you."


    Charlie would definitely ridicule Andrew if he overheard this.


    What do you mean by random things? These were all acquired after thorough searches at auctions.


    Take the talisman, for example, It was said to have been made by a hermit from special wood pulp, and


    each step was meticulously done by himself; it was rumored to be extraordinary. That stack of


    talismans is more valuable than a stack of money.


    Lilly happily epted them; they arrived really timely for her.


    "Uncle Anthony is truly deserving of being your uncle," Pablo remarked.


    After Anthony left, other family members began to stop by one at a time, each bringing something


    different for Lilly.


    Zachary continued to y a game while lounging on the couch in Lilly''s room. He finally looked up and


    saw that they were still giving Lily gifts.


    He smirked.


    This is what caring looks like! They take different care of Lilly because they think of her as a real family


    member. They used to speak to me gently, but it always felt so fake. They act as though Lilly is leaving


    home for a long time, even though she’s gone temporarily.


    Zachary was annoyed. He turned off his phone and had a gloomy expression on his face.


    I’m such an idiot for making a ridiculous excuse toe to Lilly''s room.


    Zachary was about to leave when he overheard Lilly going through the gifts and murmuring, "The


    amulet is given by Granny; this is mine, and this one is Zac''s. Uncle Anthony gave me three ritual


    des..."


    Zachary was standing off to the side when Lilly looked up. She gave him the most dazzling de right


    away and said, "This one suits you!"


    Zachary took a closer look. All of a sudden, he realized that all the gifts they gave to Lilly were in pairs.


    Liam even prepared two sets of clothes for him, each neatly folded.


    Lilly was putting these things in a suitcase. His belongings took up the majority of the space, while


    Lilly''s belongings were tucked away in a tight corner.


    Zachary was gobsmacked.


    Am I also getting the gifts?
