Lilly had now mastered the art of spatial transportation.
No longer needing to set up teleportation arrays at specific points in the human realm to transport beings from the underworld, this time, she brought the World Mirror with her.
The World Mirror was a bit arrogant and complained. "You left me here for years."
Lilly promptly stored it in a ring.
Inside the ring, Stone Scroll was lying there, daydreaming leisurely, when suddenly a mirror was thrust in.
"Oh, are you a newcomer? Look at that sour face. You weren't voluntarily brought in, were you?"
The mirror glanced at it. "Hmph, nowadays even stones can talk? Monster. I need to keep my distance."
Stone Scroll replied, "Look at how you're talking. Those who can be brought back by the Little Ruler of Hell, aren't we all treasures? How can we be monsters? Let's be friends."
The World Mirror rolled its eyes and moved away.
Jean bid a reluctant farewell to Bettany. "Mom, take care of yourself. We'll be back for Christmas."
Lilly was the Ruler of Hell, and they had to adhere to the rules of the underworld. They couldn't come and go freely. Otherwise, they could have stayed at the Crawford mansion forever...
Anthony drove the car. This scene reminded him of the times he used to send Lilly off. He said, "Get in the car."
Margaret ran out and said, "Miss Lilly, the food abroad isn't as delicious as ours. If you lose your appetite, take these. These are pickles Bettany and I made."
Lilly took a look and saw that the pickles were still fresh. It seemed they were made last night, the best time for the perfect taste.
She put them in the Ruler of Hell's palace. They could be taken out for feasts in the underworld when they got tired of the usual fare.
Anthony drove Lilly, Blake, Josh, Bellflower, and Polly away from the Crawford family.
The others were invisible to ordinary people. In the car, there was also Pablo, Weakling spirit, Harem spirit, Jean, and Cloud.
The whole Crawford family was reluctant to part with Lilly, seeing her off with a sense of loss.
Only Josh was ecstatic.
For the first time, he felt the joy of not growing taller.
Being short would still be talked about behind his back even if he had money to go to school.
So, he had been home-schooling and quietly taking exams during this year.
He had already self-taught up to the third year of high school courses.
If it weren't inappropriate to go to college too soon, he thought he could have entered college at the age of 14.
Anthony's car stopped on a deserted roadside. It was secluded, and there were no surveillance cameras.
Lilly opened the door. She let Polly and Bellflower get off.
Polly remembered the little fox that took away a small bird's corpse before Christmas and said, "Babe, I have to go to work now. Remember me."
Lilly couldn't help but chuckle. She tapped its small forehead and said, "Go. Polly is quite remarkable now, able to work alone for several years."
Polly proudly said, "Of course. Well, I'm leaving. Remember to miss me."
It looked at the small ghost beast and sighed, "I can't teach you anymore in the future. Learn on your own."
The small ghost beast looked at Polly, then at Lilly.
In the end, it chose to stay with Lilly.
The cultural bird was indeed powerful, but Lilly was still its favorite.
