Chapter 843 Exchanging Dried Fish for the Map of the Underworld
In the vicinity of the tree pit where the sacred tree had been uprooted on Gray Earth...
A ck cat found itself being cradled in the arms of a little girl, and Lilly extended her hand to scratch
its chin as the cat purred.
The guard cats who had been trailing the ck cat stood by in utter astonishment!
Your Highness, why would you allow her to do such a thing?
"Your Highness...!" one of the cats meowed, "What... what kind of sorcery is this?"
Another cat, taken aback, raised its paw to deliver a swift swipe, "Hush! His Highness has his reasons
for everything he does. We have no ce to question it."
How dare they attempt to question His Highness?
Regardless of what His Highness does, there must be a purpose behind it!
Even allowing himself to be petted!
The ck caty in Lilly''s arms, purring and drowsy. But upon hearing the conversation, it snapped
awake and sat upright.
Hold on, how did it end up in Lilly''s arms?
Oh, right, it vaguely recalled...
Lilly blinked innocently and asked for just a single scratch.
Seeing her pitiable state, it involuntarily agreed, thinking it would be a mere moment.
But instead of just a scratch, Lilly proceeded to stroke its chin and neck!
Even a cat could not resist the bliss of that sweet spot...
The ck cat contemted leaping out of Lilly''s embrace, but just as it tried to make its move, Lilly
ced a hand on its belly and held it tightly.
"Ash, you''re so heavy! Twice as heavy as Bellflower!"
Indeed, it was twice the size of an ordinary cat, resembling a tiny leopard!
Lilly adored the ck cat and pressed her face against its back, rubbing against it with affection.
Wow! so this is what people call "sniffing" cats!
It feels so nice…
Lilly buried her whole face into its back, rubbing...
The ck cat was speechless.
It struggled to find the right words to express its thoughts.
After a long pause, it managed to detach itself from the girl''s cuteness and spoke in a stern voice, "Let
go of me!"
But Lilly pulled out a bag of dried fish, "Ash, would you like some dried fish?"
A hashtag symbol appeared above the ck cat''s head as it retorted, "My name is not Ash! And I don''t
eat..."
However, before it could finish its sentence, the aroma of the small dried fish reached its nostrils.
Lilly urged, "Go ahead, eat it!"
Unable to resist the scent, the ck cat involuntarily opened its mouth and took a small bite...
Hmm...
It''s quite... delicious...
The ck cat chewed on it without thinking.
Simultaneously, Lilly eximed, "Is it tasty? My grandma made these!"
They were originally meant for Bellflower, made from the finest quality sardines, specifically chosen as
a snack for Bellflower. Grandma put a lot of effort into creating this small dried fish treat.
Lilly had secretly tasted it herself, and it was delicious!
Meanwhile, the ck cat had already devoured half of a small dried fish.
Observing its delight, Lilly could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She needed to win it over. She had been concerned about its indifference earlier, but now it seemed
fine. It also enjoyed the dried fish, just like Bellflower.
"Ash... I have a question for you. Do you know where the Ghost Abyss is?" Lilly asked, her voice filled
with curiosity.
Upon hearing the question, the ck cat immediately spat out half of the dried fish from its mouth!
She wants to ask about the Ghost Abyss by offering me a piece of dried fish?
Absolutely not!
However, Lilly was quick to react, swiftly covering its mouth with her hand.
The small dried fish became wedged between the ck cat''s mouth and teeth...
Lilly whispered, "Eat up. I won''t ask anymore."
The ck cat, perplexed, found itself in a situation where the small dried fish remained neither
swallowed nor spat out.

Is she really not gonna ask?
The ck cat could not bring itself to believe her.
As Lilly watched the ck cat finish devouring a small dried fish, she seamlessly offered another one.
The ck cat grew suspicious.
Is she truly not going to ask?
So... it could freely enjoy another small dried fish?
Meanwhile, the other cats standing guard nearby could not help but swallow their saliva, enticed by the
tantalizing scent of the dried fish.
Lilly turned her head left and right, scanning her surroundings. "You guys can have some too!"
With a swift motion, she produced a box of dried fish. "Eat up, eat it all! And if it''s not enough, I''ll bring
more next time!"
The cats exchanged nces, unable to resist the temptation any longer...
The area around the huge pit of the sacred tree had transformed into a grand dining scene. Cats
feasted on the dried fish, relishing their vors.
Feeling a bit thirsty after consuming two small dried fish, Lilly understood what she had to do next.
"Drink this, it''s delicious!" she said.
The ck cat, not taking it seriously, thought to itself that there were plenty of good drinks avable in
Gray Earth as it was connected to the ice pond. What difference could this one make?
"Crack!"
Lilly opened the jar of goat''s milk.
The ck cat was taken aback.
I''ve never had this before…
The ck cat struggled, maintaining a cold expression on its face, but could not help ncing at it.
Lilly brought the goat''s milk to its mouth, pouring a little and "serving" it with her own hands, disying
immense effort.
The ck cat reluctantly took a few sips at first but then found itself drinking a few more.
Lilly said, "Ash, tell me, how do you get to the Ghost Abyss..."
"Spit!"
The ck cat was on the verge of spitting out the goat''s milk in its mouth.
Lilly quickly covered its mouth again. "Finish drinking, I won''t ask anymore!"
The ck cat was skeptical.
Half an hourter...
Lilly bid farewell to the ck cat, bowing ny degrees in gratitude. "Thank you, Ash, for giving me the
map! It''ll be very helpful to me. You''re so kind!"
Lilly held a scroll in her hand, which contained a rough map of the entire underworld. Not only did it
provide directions to Ghost Abyss, but it also marked the exits and entrances that led to the human
world.
It was incredibly useful!
Exchanging a box of dried fish and a bottle of goat milk for the map of the underworld...
What an incredible deal!
Lilly expressed her gratitude to the ck cat once again and skipped away with joy.
The ck cat remained silent, and confusion filled the air among the other cats.
In a bewildered state, the cat, who struggled with idioms, stammered, "Your Highness... Your
Highness..."
It intended to question why he handed over the map to her so easily, but instead, it blurted out, "Is the
goat''s milk tasty?"
The ck cat was stunned.
