Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 572 Why Do I Keep Seeing Ghosts?

Cloud grinned and said, “Exactly! Before I left, Lilly told me that my lucky number is 2468.”

“Without thinking, I pressed 2468, and the safe clicked open!”

Edward was speechless.

Is this for real?

As Cloud recounted the story, he could not help but lift Lilly into the air, playfully tossing her up.

At that moment, he caught sight of the disapproving gaze of an old lady nearby.

“Children’s brains are still developing, and tossing and spinning them like that isn’t good! What if they

fall?”

“What if you catch them but accidentally bump their head?”

“Even if you don’t hit their head, what if you accidentally jostle their brain?”

Everyone was silent.

Cloud blushed and said, “Sorry, I was wrong.

Cloud’s mission involved catching spies, so he could not delve into further details. He then decided to

drop the topic there.

But he had another topic in mind…the three ghosts that Lilly had given him……

Those three ghosts had been immensely helpful to Cloud. They played a crucial role in tracking the

target and gathering evidence. With the help of the ghosts, he faced none of the usual risks associated

with stalking a person.

When it came to gathering evidence, spies were not fools. They meticulously preserved their evidence.

and set up traps. The slightest touch would trigger an alert on the spy’s mobile phone.

However, with ghosts, such concerns were nonexistent.

The seemingly unreliable harem spirit turned out to be the most cautious and the best of them all….

Hearing Cloud’s recount, the harem spirit covered her face and exclaimed, “Oh, I’m so flustered after

hearing your praise!”

The bridal ghost chimed in, saying, “Being able to serve my husband is a blessing for my humble

family!”

Miss Ugly thought to herself, “Is she being too reserved this time?”

Cloud, feeling slightly awkward, interjected, “But then Jessiein. I don’t know if it’s because of these

three……… but I always seem to encounter ghosts!”

On that day, Cloud was working his usual night shift at the internet cafe.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled through the stuffy room. Cloud thought someone had turned on the

air conditioner, but when he looked up, he saw a head resting on the counter, staring at him with wide

eyes.

Cloud’s calves tightened in fright, and his heart raced.

“Hi, I’ll be staying up all night and I’ll be charging my card. the head said grimly.

Terrified, Cloud opened a machine for the customer and received underworld banknotes as payment.

“I thought it was just my imagination because I’ve been working all day… However, as soon as I put

away the money, I felt something tickling the top of my head.”

Cloud furrowed his brow and looked up, only to find a female ghost hanging upside down, hovering

above

him.

Her long hair swayed in the wind, repeatedly brushing Jessieinst the tip of Cloud’s hair.

When the ghost noticed his gaze, she grinned and whispered, “I’m so lonely… why don’t you come and

keep me company…”

Lilly took a bite of watermelon and asked, “And then?”

The harem spirit giggled and replied, “Well, then I kicked her away. Who the hell was she? I didn’t even

have enough time to spend with him!”

Lilly and Cloud were silent.

Cloud asked aloud, “Could it be because I met Lilly recently? I’ve been having such bad luck in the past

week or so.”

As he prepared to have a meal, he casually placed his hat on a nearby chair, only for someone to

unknowingly sit on it without uttering a word.

He addressed him, saying, “Excuse me, sir, but you’re sitting on my hat.”

The person turned his head and stared directly at him, wearing a peculiar smile. He asked, “Huh? Can

you

see me?”

It was only then that Cloud realized the person before him was a ghost!

Instances like these seemed to happen too often. While crossing the road, he encountered a

disheveled woman holding a little girl, and the girl locked eyes with him.

One moment, he was working on the computer in the living room, and the next, the door creaked open,

revealing a female ghost in white with long hair standing in the doorway.

As he rose to go to the bathroom at night and slipped on his slippers, a hand suddenly emerged from

beneath the bed, gripping his ankle tightly!

“Such bad luck,” Cloud lamented to himself, “Lilly, please hurry and take your three female ghosts

away!”

Cloud kept complaining about his misfortune, and Lilly was thoroughly perplexed

She did not even release the unlucky ghost!

Uncle Cloud didn’t even have a bad aura or ceric vibes on him!

How could he be unlucky?

Lilly shook her head, unable to understand the situation, so she decided not to dwell on it!

The young child had long forgotten about the black rope she tied to Cloud and he believed the black

rope to be a charm or bracelet. So, he kept it hidden in his sleeve, wearing it as a lucky charm.

Cloud

expressed gratefully, “Thank you for the bracelet and the other things you gave me, Lilly. It saved my

life by stopping a bullet.”

If not for that, Cloud would not have been so trusting of Lilly.

Lilly retrieved the harem spirit, bridal ghost, and Miss Ugly then, spoke sweetly. “You’re welcome, Uncle

Cloud! Lilly will make two more bracelets for you since you’re going back to work in a few days!”

Cloud lifted Lilly into his arms, planting a kiss on her cheek and ruffling her hair. He exclaimed, “Our

Lilly

is the best!”

At that moment, Bettany’s familiar voice called out, “It’s time to eat!”

It was time for Grandma to feed everyone Jessiein.

Except for Cloud, who was away for the majority of the year, Lilly, and the aunt who could never be full,

the others seemed less enthusiastic.

Even General and the Bailey were lying at a distance. Upon hearing the call, they lazily got up, took a

few steps, and then lay back down.

Edward chimed in, I’ll go upstairs and change.”

Anthony added, “I’ll send a file.”

Gilbert explained, “I just came back from the operation… I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Liam remained silent, but his expression indicated that he wasn’t particularly interested in eating.

Drake and Josh sat down, with one sibling peeling shrimp for their younger sister, and the other peeling

crabs. Zachary absentmindedly played with his cutlery, while Hannah rested her chin on her hand and

complained, “Homework is difficult, and eating is equally challenging…”

Cloud was puzzled and asked, “What’s the matter? Don’t you feel like eating?”

Cloud thought they were ungrateful for not appreciating their meals.

They were used to living comfortable lives and were taking everything for granted!

Cloud gazed at the delicious food on the table, his index finger itching with anticipation.

Having been on missions throughout the year, he rarely had the opportunity to enjoy such a lavish

meal.

Cloud, the seventh child, was only 27 or 28 years old and ate happily.

“Lilly’s a good girl” Cloud remarked while eating. How old are your uncles and the others? They need

constant reminders to eat. They lack sensibility, don’t they?

Lilly tilted her head, pondering the situation

Seizing the moment when Grandma was busy selecting vegetables, she leaned over to whisper to

Cloud. Uncle Cloud don’t say that so loudly”

Cloud was perplexed.

If hat’s to tad about eating?

Hamn’t this suppound to be a joyful orcement
