Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Alban gazed in disbelief at the aftermath of his car accident.

This was simply impossible. As a cultivator, he could evade ghosts, so how could he not avoid an oncoming truck?

The sound of Tia's crying gradually faded from his ears. The only thought in his mind was that he had defied fate, and he was only eighteen. How could he die like this?

And it happened to be on his birthday!

His birthday fell three days before Christmas. Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, where he could spend time with his sister, go shopping for New Year's goods, take her out to play, and help her with her homework...

How could he die like this?

It was inconceivable!

There must be a mistake made by the Ruler of Hell. He had to seek clarification!

"Tia, wait for me. I won't die. I will be back soon!"

The scene in front of him flashed, and he quickly stepped onto the Yellow Spring Route, relying on his instincts.

He desperately ran across the Yellow Spring Route, passed the Outlook Tower, and rushed over the Hellhound Ridge...

As someone who defied fate, he ran to the Ruler of Hell's Palace at a speed several times faster than other normal ghosts.

Lilly had just finished tidying up and was preparing to go to the Crawford Ancestor's mansion to pick up the Crawford Ancestor and Cloud, then return to the Crawford mansion for Christmas. Unexpectedly, a ghost rushed in and exclaimed, "I want to see the Ruler of Hell!"

Lilly let out a surprised sound as she felt that the ghost in front of her looked familiar. Wasn't this Alban?

Alban looked up and was stunned.

The girl in front of him was about ten years old, around the same age as his sister.

She was dressed in a light green Chinese Hanfu dress paired with a softly colored pink gauze shawl. Her black hair was neatly tied up, reaching her waist. The princess-cut hairstyle made her look sweet and full of vitality.

Although several years had passed, Alban recognized her at a glance-wasn't this Lilly?

"Why are you here?" Alban was taken aback.

At this moment, a thought quickly crossed his mind.

Is she the Ruler of Hell? No. That's impossible... She's only a few years old? And she's a girl! Why would she be the Ruler of Hell? Just because of her appearance and because she's cute? "Where is the Ruler of Hell? I want to see the Ruler of Hell." Alban stared at Lilly.

He suddenly noticed that Lilly was quite beautiful.

So, what was her connection to the Ruler of Hell?

Lilly sighed inwardly. Once a worker, always a worker. Even when I become a boss, I can't leave early, can I?

She had no choice but to walk to the Ruler of Hell's seat, adjust her suit, and sit down.

In the moment she turned around, her clothes transformed into the official uniform of the Ruler of Hell.

"I am right here. If you have something to say, say it!"

Lilly's expression remained indifferent, and she quickly pressed down on the smart speaker that was about to automatically play the background music.

She knew it was going to play "The officers by your side!"

It better stay quiet!

Alban was completely stunned as he stared at Lilly. He couldn't recover for a moment.

"You... you are the Ruler of Hell?"

He looked at the chubby pink Hello Kitty water bottle on the royal desk of the Ruler of Hell and then at the pink little sheep ornament she was pressing... They clearly belonged to Lilly.

If she wasn't the Ruler of Hell, how could these two pink-colored items be placed on the royal desk of the Ruler of Hell?

Alban murmured, "How could you be the Ruler of Hell? Were you the Ruler of Hell all along?"

No wonder she had so many good things in the past. It turned out that she was the Ruler of Hell herself.

The Ruler of Hell could have whatever she wanted, and if she didn't have it, someone would give it to her.

And he... had worked so hard. Finally, he managed to climb out of the Ghost Abyss, only to meet his death! It was truly unfair. How could fate be so unjust?

Alban suddenly looked up. "I understand now. It's because you are the Ruler of Hell, so you... did it intentionally?"

It was because he had offended her before, so she deliberately orchestrated his car accident on the day he finally returned to the Human Realm!

Lilly was confused. "What?"

Alban looked disappointed. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! You purposely arranged for me to die in a car accident just because you don't like me! Is it reasonable for a cultivator like me to die in such a manner?"

Not only was it unreasonable, but it was also hastily planned!

It was clearly a deliberate scheme by the Ruler of Hell!

Alban stared at Lilly, hoping to see if her conscience would ache and if she would feel guilty!

"Everyone has their own way of doing things. Even if you don't approve of my methods, is revenge necessary? Ask yourself... Have I done anything completely heartless? Despite having abilities that ordinary people lack, I have never abused them! On the contrary, I am a responsible and principled person with boundaries. Is it fair to let me die like this? I won't accept it! You can't simply determine my fate like this!"

His gaze remained resolute as he locked eyes with her.

Lilly was puzzled.

What was happening? Was Alban really hit by a car?

Pablo had already handed over the opened Book of Life.

Lilly took a quick look. Oh! He really was involved in a car accident.

His death was indeed unjust and rushed... No wonder he thought she was intentionally playing with him.

"Heh." Lilly put down the Book of Life and said casually, "Let me explain it this way. Do you have any idea how much effort it takes to organize a scroll and alter someone's destiny?"

Alban was taken aback. "What?"

Lilly raised her hand, and an illusion materialized in front of her. The illusion resembled a television screen, displaying a particularly large room.

Ghost servants, as tiny as ants, scurried back and forth, meticulously organizing countless scrolls based on time, cause and effect, and the direction of past and present reincarnations. Everything was arranged with great precision.

She explained, "Do you understand now? If I were to change your fate, the first step would be to locate your past and present lives among these billions of scrolls. Each person's life is intertwined with millions of others, creating countless cause-and-effect relationships. If I were to alter your destiny, I would also have to modify the fates of millions of other individuals; otherwise, the entire web of cause and effect spanning past and present lives would collapse. A single thread holds the entire web together. Changing your fate would require reshaping the cause and effect of past, present, and future lives and restoring order."

Lilly gazed at Alban without emotion and asked, "Alban, do you think you are worth all this effort?"

Alban's expression stiffened.
