Chapter 1263 Was It a Coincidence?


    Lilly hurriedly returned to the Crawford residence.


    Her body was already in the Human Realm, but for some reason, it was sealed in a certain ce…


    If she wanted to advance, she could not leave her body in the underworld while her spirit was in the


    Human Realm. A few days ago, she recalled her spirit and used the teleportation formation to go to the


    Crawford family residence.


    It was the middle of the night when she arrived, and everyone was asleep, so she left the house. Later,


    she had a hunch she needed to astral project toplete the advancement, so she found somewhere


    to meditate.


    In a neighborhood somewhere in Clodston, an old hovel stood defiantly in the blizzard. The snow had


    covered the roof tiles, and the brownish walls could barely be seen.


    Next to the hovel was a tall old tree without any leaves. The branches were covered in ayer of snow.


    Amp was lit inside the hovel, as though the upant was waiting for someone.


    Lilly''s spirit peeked into the window, and she was surprised to see Ivan sitting inside. Her body was on


    the bed, covered from head to toe by a thick quilt.

    Ivan was reading a textbook. He absorbed knowledge like a sponge absorbed water.


    "Ivan!" Lilly called out.


    Ivan turned his head around and let out an imperceptible breath of relief. "You''re back?"


    He stood up from his chair. His extraordinary height made the room seem small.


    "How do you know I''m here?" Lilly asked.


    Ivan paused for a moment and smiled. "It was a coincidence."


    He happened to notice something special about the hovel. When he went over, he noticed Lilly''s body


    there, but her spirit was nowhere to be found.


    Worried that something might happen to her, he upied the room and guarded her. He also got


    someone to bring him his textbooks.


    "Are you sure?" Lilly obviously didn''t believe it.


    Ivan wanted to poke her nose, but considering that they''re grown up now, he thought he shouldn''t


    touch a girl.


    "Why are you here then? Aren''t you afraid someone else mighte here?" Ivan asked.


    Lilly told him about her return. "I was in a hurry, and I knew that no one woulde to this run-down


    hovel."


    "How would you know?" Ivan was curious.


    Lilly''s smile diminished by a little. "When I got here, the old couple who lived here had just left."


    The old couple passed away not too long ago, and their daughter had just returned to her husband''s


    hometown for Christmas.


    "I asked them for their permission, and they let me stay here for a few days."


    Ivan nodded. "I see."


    "Where have you been, Ivan? I haven''t seen you for a long time." Suddenly, Lilly seemed surprised.


    "What Realm are you in now?"


    Ivan did not hide it from her, though he was not too sure. "There seems to be new rules in the


    underworld. ording to the definitions, I should be in the Hades Realm… But I''m not a king, so I can''t


    tell if I fit the definition."


    Lilly nodded. "You definitely are."


    He seems to havepleted the Hades Realm, but there''s something else I can''t tell…


    Ivan didn''t seem to know as well.


    "We should go home!" Lilly looked at the sky outside worriedly. "My granny must be waiting for me."


    Ivan also seemed surprised when he looked out of the window. "My mom should be waiting for me too."


    Lilly took his hand and ran outside. "We should go!"


    Ivan let her take his hand. Somehow, he had a strange feeling welling up within him.


    He was not sure what it meant, but he was willing to let it grow inside him.


    It seemed like he was not just an elder brother to Lilly…


    "Lilly," he called out.


    Lilly turned around. "Hm?"


    Ivan was at a loss for a reply. He didn''t know why he suddenly called her. Feeling a little awkward, he


    frantically looked around him to find an excuse.


    He pointed behind him. "We forgot to switch off the lights."


    "Oh! You''re right. We shouldn''t waste natural resources."


    Lilly turned off the light in the room, and Ivan switched off the power mains. They left the hovel.


    Outside the hovel was a narrow alley. The main road was beyond that, and there were two cars parked


    at the side of the road.


    The first was from the Shaw family. Judging from the amount of snow on the roof, it must have been


    there for some time.


    The other was the Maybach Lilly was familiar with. It had less snow on it.


    "Lilly." The window rolled down, and Anthony''s face was seen.
