Ecruteak and Yundella are just one province apart, and an hour or two flight away.

When the group arrived at Spring City in Yundella, Blake, Cloud, and Lilly looked for a hotel to stay in first.

This place was known as a large flower farm on a world scale. With four seasons a year and a pleasant climate, a sea of flowers could be seen everywhere.

“It’s so beautiful here!” Lilly laid down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room.

After some thought, Lilly realized it was her first time going out on a trip.

The hotel that Blake booked was in the middle of the best scenery. During the current March and April months, it was the time of spring blossoms, and the view outside the window was a sea of beautiful purple and red.

When Blake separated from Cathy, Lilly gave Cathy an amulet, so he was not in a hurry.

When Cathy’s parents invited them to their home for dinner that day, Lilly’s group declined and only said they would go over the next day instead.

Blake held on to Lilly, and Cloud followed them, taking pictures of the two from time to time.

Lilly was very happy. There were flower stores everywhere in Spring City. The flowers were very cheap and were still fresh and beautiful. Soon, Lilly’s arms were full of flowers.

“Uncle Cloud, I want to take a picture here!” Lilly waved excitedly.

Cloud held up his phone and snapped away.

On both sides of the street, two rows of trees were in full bloom, and the whole city seemed drowned in a sea of flowers. In the picture, Lilly was holding a big bunch of flowers, smiling brightly.

After Cloud finished taking pictures of Lilly, he immediately picked Lilly up and passed his phone to Blake so he can take pictures of them.

Blake took the phone and retreated to the curb. His face was cold and expressionless, “1… okay.”

Cloud was confused.

Counting down 123 but he only said 1?

Men do not take photos like women, taking seven to eight shots of the same location.

Cloud took back his phone with suspicion, wondering what kind of picture could be captured in such a shot.

However, the phone’s anti-shake function was unbelievable. In the photo, Cloud was carrying Lilly, both smiling naturally and brightly. Lilly had a slightly tilted head, looking very happy.

Too natural, too wonderful!

Cloud’s heart was electrified, and he automatically sent the picture to the family group chat.

“Spring City Trip!” Cloud sent.

In the next moment, Blake slapped Cloud, “Withdraw! Withdraw!”

Cloud gained a realization and hurriedly withdrew his message.

Crap, he put himself in danger!

“It’s okay, it’s okay, your mother didn’t see it …”

However, in the next second …

Bettany sent an emoji of a huge knife in the family group chat and sent another emoji of two eyes on fire.

“CLOUD! Tell me, what’s up with Lilly’s face!”

Cloud gulped.

“Mom, my phone is out of battery, talk later!”

The next second.

Blake’s phone rang.

Blake was speechless.

Truly, terrible teammates were more terrifying than formidable opponents.

Given the nature of Cloud’s job, he should not be this way! How could he make such a stupid mistake?

All the efforts to avoid this situation was for nothing.

Blake handed the phone to Lilly.

He was not scared but following his instincts.

Lilly picked up the phone, and answered softly, “Hey, Granny…”

Bettany heard Lilly’s voice from the other side of the phone, and a big portion of her anger instantly disappeared.

“Lilly, where is your father? Tell him to come to the phone,” Bettany said.

Lilly’s face scrunched up as she meekly lied, “Daddy went to the toilet …”

“Where is Uncle Cloud?” Bettany continued.

“Uncle Cloud… also went to the toilet!”

On the side, Cloud and Blake were panicking.

Sure enough, the sound of Bettany’s gnashing teeth came, and even without the loudspeaker on, her voice could be heard clearly.

“Lilly dear, you are now outside, right? Your father and your uncle just left you on the road, and both of them went to the toilet?”

Lilly was confused for a moment.

It’s over, and they were dead meat!

It’s revealed!

Lilly looked at Blake and begged for help with her eyes.

The two adults and the child, none of them could save the situation.

Blake braced himself and picked up the phone, “Lilly was kidding, I’ve been around. It was Cloud who went to the toilet.”

Bettany sneered, “So what’s up with Lilly’s face?”

“Well… if I say it you might not believe it,” said Blake.

“We were getting ready to go back today and we passed by a farmer’s house. Lilly saw the beautiful, lively, and fierce chickens they had, and she said she wanted to catch one for her Granny.”

Bettany replied with a smirk, “Keep spinning your story.”

Blake continued his story, “Then Lilly accidentally fell and scratched her face.”

Old Mrs. Crawford couldn’t see the wound on Lilly’s arm anyway, so he mentioned only Lilly’s face.

One thing at a time.

Bettany’s sinister laughter can be heard from the other side of the phone, “Is that so? Remember to bring back the chicken with you, I will cook chicken soup.”

The word chicken soup was emphasized.

Blake immediately gave the phone to Lilly.

He gave Cloud a look of fear.

Cloud rubbed at his nose.

He had never made such a big blunder, yet today he…

Lilly was holding the phone, chatting cutely, “Granny, have you had your lunch?”

Bettany replied, “I had… Lilly, you really want to catch chickens?”

“Yes, yes! It was a huge chicken, I wanted to catch it for Granny!” Lilly said.

Bettany was suspicious, “Is that so…”

They are not going to some temple, and how could there be chickens?

Lilly added, “Granny, Granny, there are so many flowers here, I will bring back a whole car full of flowers for you!”

Bettany instantly smiled brightly, “You are still my dearest grandchild!”

The two talked on the phone for a while, and by the end of the call, Lilly no longer remembered the lie and kept describing to Bettany that she saw a flower here and a sea of flowers there, and that the trees here had no leaves but were full of flowers.

By the time Bettany ended the call, she was long pacified.

She cheerfully took out her phone and prepared to look at videos to brush up on the current scenery of Spring City and stay up to date with Lilly.

No one could guess that browsing the internet would eventually lead to a piece of news.

The Grand Hall of the Ecruteak’s Temple of Light suddenly collapsed…

At a closer look, the little girl standing in front of the ruins looked like Lilly!

She was covered in blood, and her little face was covered in blood smudges!

Bettany was speechless.

She lifted her head and removed her glasses. “Margaret, buy a few more pans home tomorrow.”

Margaret was left puzzled.
