The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Aren’t We All Children

The nurse station on the third floor looked dim. The scorched walls and floor made this place look like it was nighttime.

The carefree Big Head Hannah suddenly sensed something was wrong and felt uneasy. Hannah said, “Lilly, let’s go home! Nothing is interesting here.”

Josh asked. “Or…should we wait outside for you?”

Lilly still focused her gaze on the pillar. She nodded and said, “Sure, you guys can go ahead.”

Her siblings fell silent after they heard this.

Leaving this place? I don’t dare go out on my own. Lilly is very strong, and she didn’t need our protection, but what if there were not only ghosts here but a lunatic who would jump at her? It would be safer for us to stay with Lilly.

Josh coughed and said, “Forget it; I want to join you in ghost hunting. I’m well equipped. My gear…

He froze when he said this. Josh realized he had thrown his gear away and forgot to retrieve it. Darn, it! He felt defenseless, as if he had entered a village full of feral ghosts without any protection. He was dumbfounded by this finding.

Drake said decisively, “We should wait for Lilly.”

Leaving is not an option; we should wait on the sidelines for while. Granny had told me that I should look after my younger siblings. I’m a responsible older brother; I couldn’t abandon Lilly and run away. Actually, my fear also played

a role.

Zachary did not say a word. He was in silent mode, just like a game character that was cooling down.

Zachary had a super slow reaction. At this time, he recalled the scene where Lilly swung her purple sledgehammer around. It triggered his memories of a character’s unique move in a game. He was calculating the attack power, cooldown time, and battle strategy he needed to implement when he had to face such a situation alone.

In the end, the siblings continued to stick close to Lilly.

Hannah was clinging to Lilly’s left arm, and Josh to her fight arm. Drake stood half a step behind her and alertly scanned their surroundings.

Zachary…Zachary followed every step Lilly took. Although he was lost in thought, he never missed a step. When Lilly took a step, he would take a step; when Lilly stopped, he also stopped.

Lilly moved to the side of the pillar with great difficulty Her siblings clung closer to her.

She was rendered speechless.

Hmm…how am I supposed to catch the ghost with them doing this?

Lilly was about to say something, but they heard a burst of cheerful laughter.

A three-year-old little girl suddenly ran out. Her face was covered in blood. There was a large dent on her head. She probably got it when she took a ferocious auck from an ax when she died. The force was so great that her eyeball had gone missing.

Her innocent laughter made their hair stand on end.

When the young girl saw them, she suddenly stopped and fixed her eyes on them.

Lilly said in surprise, “What? A young, resentful spirit!

The little girl tilted her head and giggled.

Josh felt his scalp go numb. He swore that her giggles sounded like she was calling out to them.

“Lillyyy…” Josh stammered every time he got nervous.

Lilly said, “Let go of me.”

On the contrary, her siblings gripped her tighter.

The young girl immediately flew in their direction. Yes, she flew. One moment she was running on the ground, the next she was in the air.

Josh and Hannah were so terrified that they instinctively turned around and ran. Drake picked up Lilly before he ran off.

Lilly was puzzled. She was amused by this and laughed out loud, “Drake, put me down! I have to catch the ghost!”

Drake felt awkward. He finally recalled Lilly’s powerful sledgehammer and set her down. That young, resentful spirit had caught up with them, and she lunged toward Drake.

Drake was startled for the second time. His pupils contracted, and he seemed to see an overlapping image with her eyes. He screamed, “Lilly!”

The next second, Lilly slapped that spirit away.

The young, resentful spirit was gone before she could get close to them. Lilly had smashed the spirit with such force that she got stuck in the wall and was unable to remove herself. The little resentful spirit cried out loud.

Lilly placed her hands on her hips and wore a fierce expression. She swung her fists and warned, “I don’t allow you to harm my brother!”

Drake was stunned. There was a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at Lilly.

My little sister, who always acts cute and clingy to me to the point of annoyance, actually has such a lovely side.

A young woman saw the young spirit being beaten. She flew out and frantically tried to pry her off the wall. A middle-aged man also showed up, angrily glaring at Lilly. He hissed ferociously. Following them. two elderly spirits appeared; their gloomy eyes were filled with resentment when they stared at the

children.

Lilly was momentarily stunned. Wow! A family of resentfil spirits.

Josh mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward. He asked, “Lilly, what kind of ghosts are they? X

or y?”

Lilly could not remember whether his x and y referred to a resentful spirit, a malignant spirit, or a woeful ghost. She simply replied, “All of them are resentful spirits.”

Josh’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Drake was at a loss for words. He had seen those who wire so terrified that they ran away and others who were not afraid of ghosts. This was his first time seeing someone who was both scared and excited upon seeing them.

The family of the resentful spirits roared at them. The children did not understand what they were saying, except Lilly, who understood them perfectly. Lilly frowned after hearing their words.

The family claimed they died a wrongful death. The middle-aged man said he noticed his younger brother was mentally ill, so he invited him to live with him. He had good intentions, but it did not end well for him.

Not only was he being killed, but his younger brother killed the entire family too. Moreover, her daughter was three years old at the time.

That young woman also had a trace of resentment in her eyes. She blamed Lilly for smashing her child into the wall. The mother asked, “Why are you bullying my daughter?”

Lilly defended herself and rebuked her, saying, “She was trying to kill us.”

The mother retorted, blood streaming down her face, She’s still a baby. She died so pitifully; can’t you be

a bit more tolerant?”

Lilly responded, “Aren’t we all children?”

The mother fell silent.

Josh managed to guess the conversation from the roaring between the resentful spirit and Lilly’s words.

Since he had Lilly’s protection, he taunted, “She’s just a child? We should never let her off the hook!”

Humph! That little spirit threatens our lives, yet her mother shamelessly demands we be tolerant? I’m surprised that even resentful spirits would morally blackmail.

The parents of the small, resentful spirit looked at their child with a sorry expression. They held their sobbing child in their arms.

What did we do wrong? What’s the point of being kind? We our younger relatives. We even turned a blind eye to the goss

spect our parents, take care of our siblings, and adore

and helped the elderly cross the road.

We were kind, optimistic, and enthusiastic in our lifetimes. We always help others within our capabilities and do not make any fuss. In the end, they were killed by our own kin.

We had to witness our younger brother go mad, chopping us a bit by bit. Our child cried in fear until her death. We had fallen into despair.

After their deaths, they started to harbor resentment. Their blood had stained their clothes red, turning them into blood-soaked, resentful spirits.

Once they became resentful spirits, they gathered around their mentally ill younger brother. He could see them, but he was not afraid of them, and they could not take him away.

Hearing this, Lilly frowned and asked, “You think you in rightfully harm others and take their lives? Others should give you everything, including their lives, because you died pitifully
