Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Thirteen Stops Blake, who was insignificant, was finally brought up at the last moment of Jean’s departure.

He folded his arms, smiled helplessly, and shook his head, watching Jean leave.

The Crawford family fell into complete silence.

The large mansion seemed to have lost its vivid colors all of a sudden.

They were excited about the reunion earlier and now, they were filled with sadness.

Blake began to understand how the Crawford family felt when Jean disappeared five years ago.

Lilly lay in Anthony’s arms, staring at Jean’s figure without blinking.

Until she finally disappeared, never to be seen again.

“Goodbye, Mom, take care…” Lilly closed her eyes as she said it.

In Lilly’s dream, she sent her mother across a road and went across a bridge.

An old lady named Madame Maya brought her a bowl of soup that would wipe her memories of when she was a mortal after drinking it. Her mother smacked her lips after drinking it and said arrogantly, “Can I have another bowl?”

Jean even gave the old lady some suggestions to improve her formula so that it would bring more business…

The old lady’s face turned dark and Pablo covered his face in shame.

Lilly could not help but laugh out loud when she was asleep. Eventually, her laughter was arrogant like her mother’s.

Anthony, who was holding Lily was confused.

When Lilly woke up the next day, the Crawford family had already prepared the sacrificial offerings.

Life had to go on once the sun came up.

Bettany had a trace of sadness in her smile while Hugh’s face was stern, and the eight brothers of the Crawford family were busy, trying not to remember that Jean left yesterday.

Anthony was silent. Jean showed up yesterday and made their parents feel depressed. If she lived together for a while, they would have been even more reluctant to let her go….

Lilly wore a small hat, carried a pet bag, and brought her partners, Polly and Tortoise with her everywhere.

Hannah was the most excited, not only did she not have to do her homework today, but she could also play outside. She was happy even though she was going to the grave.

“Let’s go, let’s go!” Hannah said excitedly, “Do we need to bring a few bottles of Sprite to offer our ancestors?”

Bettany came back to her senses, she did not know if she should be mad or laugh at her, “Are you offering it to your ancestors or did you bring it for yourself?”

Hannah replied meaningfully. “I brought them to offer my ancestors! I don’t drink Sprite,”

Lilly saw through Hannah’s lies and said, “Hannah, would you even believe what you said just now?”

Hannah shook her head honestly.

Everyone could not help laughing and seeing that the children were carefree, it lifted the atmosphere.

Bettany, Hugh, Cloud, Liam, and Hannah were in the same car.

Lilly was accompanied by the other uncles.

The car was huge, so they only needed two cars to fit everyone.

In the car, Gilbert asked, “Lilly, what’s the underworld like? How do you get reincarnated after death?”

He could not hold back as he wanted to know what would happen to Jean after her death. He wanted to know where Jean would go after reincarnating.

Lilly grabbed Tortoise and played with it. Upon hearing this, she tilted her head and said, “It’s a long story, so let’s not talk about it!”

Everyone who was listening closely was disappointed.

Since when was Lilly so mischievous?

All the uncles looked at Blake who was driving.

Blake was silent.

Initially, he wanted to go to the MacNeil villa yesterday. So, he thought that he would bring Lilly with him. and drive her back on the way home so he could save time.

If he had known this, he would have left in the morning.

Blake was calm, “Lilly, can you please explain?”

Lilly blinked.

It’s okay, I still remember what Master said, so I’ll do it.

“There are a total of thirteen steps in order to reincarnate,” Lilly said, “The first step is to register yourself at the Earth Temple,”

Gilbert’s mouth twitched, he did not know you had to register yourself after death.

“The next stop is through a yellow road where you can’t see the sun, moon, and stars when you look up. You can’t see your relatives and friends if you look back too…”

The siblings‘ hearts could not help but ache when they heard that they could not see their relatives and friends in the future.

Lilly continued, “After crossing the road and the bridge, you will arrive at the third destination. This time, you can look at your hometown from a distance,”

Edward’s eyes turned red and looked out the window.

He even pictured Jean looking at her hometown alone. She could no longer see her beloved brothers and her parents… She could only walk alone.

“And then?” Bryson’s voice was a little hoarse.

Lilly took Tortoise’s hand. “The fourth place is a dog’s territory where the dogs are so vicious they will not rest if they don’t tear off the soul’s leg. The fifth place is a ridge. The ridge is incredibly high. You’ll have to climb the ridge and cross a mountain to reach a city,”

Blake could not bear it and said. “I think it’s better if you guys stop listening,”

Everyone’s expressions were frozen.

Edward gritted his teeth, “What do you know…”

Jean was most afraid of dogs, and she had to pass by them alone. The ridge was high according to Lilly. They could not imagine how long it would take for her to reach her next destination.

It turned out that there were still so many hardships after she became a ghost.

No wonder they said that dogs could see ghosts.

Lilly continued, “The sixth stop is the wild ghost village. There will be some souls whose hands and feet have been torn off by the vicious dogs. They will wait here to ambush the ghosts who arrived here with their limbs intact, and snatch them, then continue onwards,”

“The seventh stop is Drowsy Hall. After drinking the soup and telling the truth, you will reach the eighth, stop, the city where you’d be interrogated at the tenth stop…”

Having said that, Lilly paused for a moment.

Every time she mentioned this, she would always feel a little bit familiar.

Liam wrote something on the phone and asked, “Where is the ninth stop?”

Lilly, “The ninth stop is hell, where people who have sinned will be punished. Those who are innocent will go to the eleventh stop, which is Ghost Castle. All ghosts live here either to do good deeds or to practice… until their time there is up and head to the tenth step to reincarnate,”

Jonas was stunned, “Practice?”

Lilly nodded, “Yeah, Master said that only a few ghosts get to practice there. They’re just accumulating virtues,”

The brothers were surprised.

That world was different from what they thought…

After going off–topic, Edward asked again. “You didn’t mention the tenth stop just now,”

Lilly answered, “The tenth stop is where you’ll receive the offerings from your family members, it is where you receive cars, phones, mansions, clothes, and many more,”

Blake raised his eyebrows, “Is it like a post office?”

It was like sending things to the dead and the tenth stop served as an express mail.

Underworld Express?

Lilly’s eyes lit up, “You’re so smart, Daddy!”

His metaphor was accurate.

Lilly said cheerfully, “The thirteenth stop is at a cliff, and it is the final stop. There will be an old lady at the end of the bridge and she will offer you a bowl of soup. You can reincarnate after you’ve drank the soup,”

Edward could not help asking, “Then where will your mother… be reincarnated?”

Everyone in the car pricked their ears up. Anthony pretended to be looking at his phone as his fingers froze…
