Spoiled by Eight Uncles

In a hot pot restaurant, Anthony sat upright, maintaining an indifferent expression.
Holding a vest in his hands, he meticulously stuffed one talisman after another into the hidden pockets, resembling an old lady
putting insoles into her shoes.
In front of him, his brother, brother-in-law, niece, and wife were all happily enjoying their meal. Their faces were flushed and
radiant with smiles, and occasionally glancing at the vest.
Anthony shook the vest and said coldly, “Here.”
Cloud glanced at it, seeing his brother’s methodical movements as he filled the hidden pockets with over a hundred amulets and
talismans to ward off evil spirits.
Lilly exclaimed, “Wow, Uncle Anthony is amazing! Uncle Anthony is even better at this than the lady on TV who puts insoles in
shoes!”
Anthony sighed.
If he were asked to do this again, he would kick all his siblings out!
“Are you all full?” Anthony, who was preparing to pay the bill, crossed his arms and said coldly.
Lilly blinked and asked, “Uncle Anthony, are you worried about the bill because we overate?”
Anthony responded immediately, “It has nothing to do with you. Uncle Anthony is happy to spend money on all of you. Is there
anything else you want to eat?”
Cloud and Blake exchanged glances.
Blake took the last sip of his drink, nodded, and said, “We’re full, Lilly ordered too much, and we just don’t want to waste it.”
Cloud followed suit and agreed, “We’re just helping Lilly finish the food.”
Blake turned to the waiter and said, “Can we have the bill please?”
Cloud pointed at Anthony and said, “My brother will pay!”
Anthony let out a sigh.

Lilly observed her father, then looked at Uncle Cloud and Uncle Anthony, sensing a subtle atmosphere among them.
Why did Anthony feel betrayed by Blake and Cloud?
Cloud went to the restroom and changed his vest, putting on a new T-shirt and then wearing the same shirt he had on before.
He felt heavy as he wore an additional vest.
This is made with my niece’s love.
Can other people’s nieces do that?
Of course, not!
Suddenly, Cloud felt like he had a golden body and a special advantage, making him fearless even if he was shot by bullets.
Cloud came out, opened his arms, and smiled, “Does it look good?”
Anthony glanced at it, wondering if there was any noticeable difference from before.
Lisa also carefully examined him, finding that the way he appeared now was exactly how he looked when he entered earlier!
Lilly’s eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, “You look so handsome, Uncle Cloud! You’re shining like gold!”
As the saying goes, people need accessories to look better, right?
Blake observed Cloud closely and noticed that he appeared slightly more powerful than before. He nodded and commented,
“The old lady sewed a fine vest.”
The only question was whether the “old lady” referred to Bettany or Lisa.
Anthony picked up Lilly’s small backpack and said casually, “Let’s go.”
Cloud’s face was reluctant. After leaving the private room, he would have to return to being a young man who ate instant ramen
all day.
He had no idea when he would be able to complete the mission and return home to be with his niece, who disappeared five
hundred chapters ago.

He was told that after completing this mission, he would be granted a seven-day vacation...
At that moment, Cloud felt a tug on his trousers and looked down to see Lilly gesturing for him to come closer.
“Uncle Cloud, say something,” she said.
Cloud was puzzled. “What am I supposed to say?”
Lilly urged, “Say whatever you want, hurry up!”
Without hesitation, Cloud blurted out, “Anthony... sew a vest.”
Anthony’s reaction was...
Lilly nodded approvingly. “Uncle Cloud, you’re looking for a total of seven people this time, and you must not miss any of them
out.”
Cloud was taken aback.
How did she figure it out?
But... seven?
They told me to look for six people on the mission!
There’s one more?
Cloud’s expression turned serious.
Lilly spoke again. “Uncle Cloud, you’ll be successful on your mission. Remember, your lucky number is 2468, and you will
definitely find something valuable if you head southeast. Don’t miss the opportunity to make money. Your current colleagues will
be guiding you, so have confidence and be bold in whatever you do. You don’t need to be overly cautious!”
Cloud couldn’t help but smile faintly. “Thank you, Lilly.”
Despite being a young child, she seemed like a little adult, and her expression oddly resembled Bettany’s back home.
“Oh, Lilly wants to give you something nice!” Lilly waved her hand.

To Cloud’s surprise, the harem spirit, Ms. Ugly, and the ghost bride who were playing cards in the jar of souls tumbled out.
The three female ghosts were puzzled.
Cloud was shocked.
What... What kind of “nice things” are these?
Lilly introduced the three ghosts, saying, “This is Miss Harem, this is Miss Ugly, and this is the wedding dress lady. They will help
Uncle Cloud in your mission, and they’re guaranteed to be better than technology!”
As she spoke, she placed a black rope on Cloud’s wrist.
Once Lilly left, Uncle Cloud was unaffected by her presence and could no longer see the ghosts.
However, with this black rope, it was assured that Cloud could see everything.
Cloud, upon later discovering the truth, shed tears.
Cloud was speechless.
The harem spirit understood the situation and let go of the cards in her hand. “Oh, so, it’s a mission. Are we supposed to stay
with him? Hello, my name is Stella.”
Cloud remained silent.
Lilly grabbed harem spirit. “Miss Harem, please don’t let me address you as Aunt Harem. Please don’t hurt my Uncle Cloud!”
The harem spirit chimed in, “No, no! I was just introducing myself. It won’t hurt him. I quite like this mission!”
The bridal ghost assured Cloud, “Don’t be afraid, husband. Miss Harem means no harm. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you during this
time.”
Cloud was taken aback. “Husband?”
The slightly more normal-looking Aunt Ugly laughed. “Hello, handsome man.”
Cloud sighed.

Lilly beamed at Cloud. “That’s all from me! Good luck on your mission, Uncle Cloud!”
Cloud was still puzzled and called out to her, “Hey, Lilly! Lilly!”
Lilly turned around and skipped downstairs, leaving Cloud alone with the three female ghosts.
It felt like a dream.
The harem spirit asked, “What should we do now, Mr. Cloud? The three of us can work together.”
The bridal ghost cautioned, “Miss Harem, be careful.”
Miss Ugly chimed in, “Is it appropriate to say such things to a young man? Young man, look at me. You just need to tell me if you
don’t want to work anymore.”
The bridal ghost remained silent, realizing she might have been too subtle.
Cloud sighed.
He leaned against the window, watching Lilly as she left. She climbed into the car and waved at him through the closed window.
Despite that, Cloud could see her clearly, and the little girl gave him a big smile.
Cloud’s spirits immediately lifted. Well, at least it was a gift from his little niece.
Can someone else’s niece give him three ghosts?
No, they can’t!
So he should be grateful.
Cloud waited for the owner of the restaurant to clear the table, ordered another pot of tea, and sat there for half an hour before
leaving.
Inside the car, Anthony sat in the driver’s seat, Lisa sat in the passenger seat, and Blake and Lilly sat in the back.
Anthony asked, “Lilly, why did you give three female ghosts to Uncle Cloud?”
Lilly explained, “Daddy said that Uncle Cloud is involved in a top-secret mission, and if we assisted him directly, it would only
bring him trouble. So, we can only give him ghosts who are invisible to others. This way, Uncle Cloud won’t be in trouble.”

According to Daddy, Uncle Cloud is on a solo mission, and if more people get involved, he would eventually have to report it to
his superiors and might face severe punishment.
Daddy is a special case, so it’s okay if he occasionally appears by Uncle Cloud’s side, but Lilly can’t do that.
Anthony remarked, “Uncle Anthony doesn’t mean that. I remember there are also male ghosts in your jar of souls. Why didn’t
you give Uncle Cloud male ghosts instead?”
Lilly replied thoughtfully, “Because, on TV, men and women work best together and make the work less tiring. So, Lilly gave
Uncle Cloud three female ghosts.”
Anthony and Blake were taken aback by Lilly’s explanation and were both speechless.
There was nothing wrong with Lilly’s reasoning. She simply did not want her Uncle Cloud to exert himself too much and wanted
him to complete the task quickly and easily.
It was the adults who had complicated thoughts...
