The following day, everyone in the Crawford family woke up early. Bettany went to Lilly’s room to check if she was still there several times. She was worried that she had been dreaming the previous night. She happily went to make the breakfast, and it would be scrumptious.
Everyone suddenly remembered the huge rock in the yard after breakfast. "Lilly, what’s this?" Edward squatted at the side, and he hit the rock. She answered, "This is the souvenir for Granny!" This is brought back underneath the Palace of the Ruler of Hell! All her uncles were wondering where their souvenirs were.
Blake said unhappily, "You only remember Granny; what about us?" She said, "You’re not right!" She opened her arms, and there were a lot of items. "This—I got these furs from there; this is for you, Daddy!" Pablo was stunned at the side, and Blake froze. Then, Lily said, "I also found this stone there; this is for Uncle Anthony!" Anthony froze too. "I think the Ruler of Hell drank from this cup." Josh was holding a cup, and he speechlessly looked at her. Lilly gifted all sorts of weird items to all of her uncles, including the door bar, chain, feather, pillow, and so on. She then gifted her cousins some strange items that seemed useless to them, such as grass, a book, a stone-made mirror, etc.And she gifted Hugh a futon.
Pablo was shaking at the side, and he felt that she might as well not bring these home. But, actually, everything that she had given them was powerful. The fur that she gave to Blake could actually judge people’s lives or deaths; the tiny stone could calm the soul; and the cup could be filled with special water and look into one’s past... But everyone was ignorant; they were dumbstruck. But they still kept the souvenirs properly since they were gifted by Lilly. Edward then knocked on the stone and asked, "What about this? What’s this for?" Lilly said, "This is useless; it’s just for Granny to cover the jar when she marinated the vegetables!"
Everyone was amused. Well, are you sure this huge rock can be used like this? They suddenly felt that their souvenirs were so much better and more special. And she suddenly laughed and said, "I’m just kidding! "Grandma loves pretty gems!" She tore off the corner of the stone, and she could see that there was a gem inside! It was the purest form of gem! And it was so huge! Edward was dumbstruck, and Anthony and Blake were shocked too. Edward hurriedly put the corner of the stone back and exclaimed, "Do you think this is useless?" This rock is gigantic! And the gem could be seen just from the corner of the rock! This should be worth at least 100 million dollars, or even more! Edward pouted as he felt that Lilly was unfair!
Lilly was confused, and she asked, "Is it expensive?" She saw that the inner part of the rock was shining, and she knew that Granny had accessories like that. So she carried the rock back. And then Granny could make lots of bracelets with it!
Anthony said in a serious tone, "If the inner part is the same as we saw just now, this stone is worth at least a billion dollars." He was just stating the minimum. A gem this size could become a national treasure, and it would cost more than a few billion dollars. And the leftovers could be used to make some accessories, and those may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars...
Lilly’s eyes widened, and she felt like she wasted a chance! She did not know this rock was worth a lot. She was full of regrets. I should have taken more! Anthony looked at her and asked, "Lilly, how did you carry such a huge rock back?" Anthony was looking at Blake, and Blake said, "Don’t ask me." He did not know either. When they were back home, Lilly jumped out of the car, and suddenly the rock appeared in her hands. Blake was also shocked, and he did not know where it came from. And Bettany was crying dramatically, so he did not have the chance to ask Lilly about it. When they had their alone time, Lilly was sleepy, so he did not ask her.
Lilly raised her hands and showed them the Palace of the Ruler of Hell. "It carries it back for me!" Anthony suddenly realized that there was another pendant on her red thread now. There was a jar pendant, and now there is a palace pendant on it.
Josh leaned closer and asked curiously, "What is this?" Zachary was staring at it too. He felt that the palace looked familiar. Lilly then said, "This is the Palace of the Ruler of Hell!" Zachary instantly took a step back. And Josh asked, "This is it?"
Anthony glanced around and saw that the maids were busy and the guards were not around. Lilly nodded her head and said, "Yes, this is the palace. It’s awesome; it can turn big and break the nuts. And it can become super big, and we can live inside if we have no tent when we go camping!" Everyone was shocked. But what happened next made their jaws drop. Lilly carried the huge rock, and she stuffed it into the palace. And the entire rock disappeared! Everyone was lost for words. And she said, "It’s also luggage! Anything can fit inside!" What luggage is this?
