Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306 The Not So Innocent King of Hell

Lilly and Cloud continued their stroll through the streets, enjoying the unique atmosphere of the underworld. Food stalls lined the sidewalks, offering all sorts of strange and enticing snacks.

“Uncle Cloud! This barbecued bug is super delicious! You should try it!” Lilly’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Cloud raised an eyebrow and hesitated. “Uh, you’re not even eating it yourself, and you want me to try it?”

Lilly grinned, her expression pure and innocent. “Uncle Cloud, if you eat it, I’ll definitely try it too!”

Cloud sighed internally. He was clearly being used as a guinea pig here.

“Let’s try something else.” Cloud suggested quietly. “Even if it’s tasty, can you stomach it?”

Lilly stared at the cockroach-like barbecued bugs on the skewer, then looked at the crowd of ghosts surrounding the food stall, eagerly ordering their servings.

“I want ten skewers of barbecued cockroach balls!” one ghost exclaimed.

“Boss, give me twenty skewers of barbecued cockroach balls!”

I-I want ten too…

Lilly looked conflicted. It did smell really good, and so many ghosts were eager to eat it. Could it be that, after becoming ghosts, they no longer minded eating cockroaches?

“What does it taste like, though? Why do ghosts seem to love it? Have they lost their aversion to cockroaches after becoming ghosts?” She mused aloud, genuinely curious.

Just like in the mortal world, where people might avoid the number 13, it was a popular number in the underworld. Could it be that cockroaches, despite their strange taste, were considered a delicacy among ghosts?

Lilly wasn’t ready to give up yet. She held up the skewer of barbecued cockroach balls and cheerfully said, “Ta-da! Crawford Ancestor, I waited in line just to buy this for you!” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Crawford Ancestor had been in the underworld for so long, surely he had adapted to its cuisine? She just wanted to know the real taste and how one could even eat this. Crawford Ancestor was torn between amusement and exasperation as he pushed the cockroach balls a little farther away, saying, “Thank you, Lilly! You’re really kind!”

Lilly blinked innocently. “Of course!”

Cloud couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Lilly, even if Crawford Ancestor cats it and says it’s delicious. would you believe him?”

-Lilly pondered this for a moment and admitted. “Well, that’s a good point!”

Crawford Ancestor sighed and said, “I have no words… Let me tell you, Lilly, these are not actually cockroaches. They are a type of small ghost beast that likes to crawl under the fallen leaves in the forest. They are nothing like real cockroaches”

They were given the name “cockroach balls” just because of their appearance, which resembled cockroaches. It was similar to some eccentric food names in the mortal world, like a “toilet restaurant,”

where the food were served in dishes shaped like toilets and looked like diarrhea, or a “kiwi shaved ice,” humorously named “baby’s green poop.” In essence, it was all about playing with people’s expectations.

Lilly seemed to be deep in thought and then shook her jar of souls. An unlucky ghost appeared, still in the midst of playing the “Werewolf” game, looking confused. “Huh, what’s that delicious smell?”

Lilly explained, “Mr. Unlucky! I bought some snacks for you guys. But this one was too hard to get in line for so there are only ten skewers though! When you get back, make sure to give each of them one skewer!”

The unlucky ghost’s eyes lit up, and he put the paper in his hand aside. “What’s this?”

Lilly answered, “Cockr… Squid balls! Look!”

The unlucky ghost glanced over. He saw a small street vendor with a crowd of ghosts gathered around. Some were pushing, some were floating, and the sign was somewhat obscured. He could only make out the words “Balls” due to his bad luck, but Lilly’s height allowed her to see the words “Cockroach Balls”.

Saliva trickled down his chin as he couldn’t resist taking a bite. With so many ghosts lining up, it must be delicious. Ten skewers wouldn’t be enough for him, and he was definitely not sharing with the other ghost. spirits. Unlucky ghost immediately accepted the skewers, looking very happy. “Don’t worry! I’ll definitely share with them!”

Without further ado, he grabbed a skewer and took a bite. “Mmm! Delicious! Really delicious! I thought Mr. Blake’s cooking was already great, but this is even better!”

“But why are these squid balls shaped like this? It’s strange, kind of like cockroaches.”

Lilly coughed and asked seriously. “Is it really that tasty?”

The unlucky ghost nodded confidently. “Absolutely! Hey, aren’t you eating?”

At this moment, he still didn’t think much and believed that Lilly was too kind to them, not wanting to cat them herself and bringing them back to share.

The unlucky ghost was so touched that he handed her two skewers. “You should eat too!”

Lilly held the two skewers of barbecued cockroach balls in her hand, her eyes showing some hesitation. The unlucky ghost wouldn’t lie; it was indeed delicious. Plus, this wasn’t even a cockroach. It was a small ghost beast…

Just as Lilly was about to take a bite, she suddenly felt that something was off!
