Chapter 1303 Leaving the Sorrow Behind
The Mortal World.
Bettany held Jean''s hand and said, "I know that you can''t stay here forever. When it''s time to go back,
just go. I’ll be fine."
Jean knelt on the ground, resting her head on Bettany''sp, and cooed, "But I don''t want to leave."
Bettany smiled. "Don''t trouble Lilly too much. Sometimes, using connections and seeking favors is
within the realm of human rtionships, but you also have to consider whether you''ll bring trouble to
others. If too many people ask for favors, it can be burdensome."
Even if the one asking for favors was a family member, certain etiquette had to be followed, and
principles had to be upheld. Jean''s nose felt a bit stuffy, and she knew that Bettany acted normal every
time she sent Lilly away, but she understood more than anyone.
"Mom, don''t worry. It''s not Lilly pulling strings for me. It''s ke." Jean tilted her head, her chin resting
on Bettany''s knee, and continued. "He... he''s quite capable, even more so than Lilly."
Bettany nodded. "Oh, in that case, stay a few more days."
ke, who had juste to call Jean back, raised an eyebrow. Hmm, his maternal granddaughter is
family, while I’m just an outsider!
However, when he heard Jean say that he was very capable, his mood improved significantly. He said,
"She''s alone... out there and I''m worried. It''s better for her toe back sooner."
Jean thought about it and agreed. Last time, she heard the father-daughter duo say that there was a
major traitor in the underworld, as written on Emperor Greenbow’s Stone Scroll. But after all this time,
there had been no sign of this individual. No matter how one looked at it, it was unsettling.
Bettany chimed in. "Then we should go back quickly!"
With some time passed, she felt somewhat relieved. Her seventh son had gone down, and with Lilly
taking care of him, she didn''t have to worry too much. Plus, her son had sacrificed himself for the
country, dying a heroic death. She wasn''t afraid he wouldn''t reincarnate into a good life. That was
already good enough, wasn''t it?
Bettany continued to nag. "Quinnie’s baby bump is starting to show. Didn''t you all discussing back
for Jonas’ wedding in spring? By then, you can return together with Lilly."
Jean nodded. "Yeah!"
Bettany continued. "Quinnie doesn''t know if it''s a boy or a girl yet... I need to start preparing clothes
now. Matt’s clothes from when he was little can still be worn.”
Jean couldn''t help butugh. "Mom, buy new ones! Our family can afford it!”
Bettany tapped her forehead, saying somewhat exasperatedly, "Do you understand anything?
Newborns should wear their older siblings'' hand-me-downs. Haven’t you heard that hand-me-downs
are better for newborns? The scientific exnation is that old clothes have been washed and sun-dried
so many times, there''s no residual formaldehyde on them. Newborn skin is delicate, and wearing old
clothes is the mostfortable for them."
Jean agreed. "You''re right, Mom! Why didn''t we prepare old clothes for Matt when he was little?"
Bettany''s face carried a smile as she replied. "That''s because there was too much of a generation gap
between him and his older siblings. Their clothes were all turned into bed sheets by me."
Converting baby clothes into bed sheets was a practical and meaningful way to reuse them without
wasting anything. Drake, Josh, Zackary, and Hannah all had their own bed sheets made from old baby
clothes. Bettany''s only regret was that she couldn''t do the same for Lilly.
The mother and daughter cuddled together, exchanging many family stories. After dinner, ke took
Jean back to the underworld, only to find that Lilly was missing.
Pablo sat behind the judge’s seat, engrossed in correcting something, with a weakling spirit assisting
him. He sorted out long scrolls, ced them in the storage room in chronological order, and continued
correcting the next set of documents.

"Where''s Lilly?" ke inquired.
Pablo replied while still writing. "She went out to have fun with Crawford Ancestor and Cloud."
Jean and ke exchanged puzzled nces.
"Out to have fun? Then why didn''t you go with her?" ke was a bit surprised because Pablo usually
stuck close to Lilly.
Pablo raised his head and said helplessly, "Someone has to stay home and handle the work, right?"
The weakling spirit chimed in with a gentle smile. "Exactly. She shouldered so much responsibility. It''s
only right for her to go out and enjoy herself. With us here, you don''t need to worry."
Pablo suddenly looked at ke and suggested, "Emperor ke, why don''t you handle this instead? I
think you''re more suited to be sitting here and be the judge for the spirits who arrive at the Hell Ruler
Pce.”
Pablo stood up, and the weakling spirit followed suit, their eyes gleaming. Yes, this way, they could go
and have fun with Lilly! ke was just about to sit back down when he heard these words. Without
even touching the seat, he grabbed Jean and immediately left.
"After all, I''m not very familiar with the procedures! It''s better for you to handle it, Judge Belmont!" With
that, he vanished in a sh of golden light, not giving Pablo and the weakling spirit a chance to
respond.
They were both rendered speechless.
You act all high and mighty, taking your sweet wife out while leaving us here to be working our life
away!
Eight thousand miles away from the underworld.
Jean, feeling a bit uneasy, said, "Aren''t we losing a bit of our morals here?"
ke raised an eyebrow, his lips curling as he replied. "Being amoral makes me happy.”
Jean burst intoughter, her eyes turning into the shape of a crescent in the process. "Exactly, exactly,
you''re right! Well said! Our worldviews are totally aligned!"
She and ke linked arms, giggling together, feeling incredibly light without the burden of conscience.
"Let''s go find our daughter!" Jean''s excitement was palpable.
ke looked at the hand resting on his shoulder and then at Jean, who was practically levitating next
to him. She’d even do that just so she could hold his shoulders. ke couldn''t help but chuckle,
allowing Jean to continue her yful antics.
