Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 589 I Used To Be Full Of Hope Too

After slapping Sean, Lilly hoisted Cathy onto her shoulder before turning to run.

Cathy did not even have the time to react. She was about to cry from being slapped by her brother, but Lilly’s sudden move threw her off guard and she forgot to cry altogether.

Lilly put Cathy on the bed, blocking her off and saying, “Sean, have you woken up?”

It’d be rather scary if he hadn’t woken up yet, and wanted to dig her eyes out.

It was fine if he wanted to dig Lilly’s eyes out— he wouldn’t be able to do that anyway. It’d be bad, however, if he went after Cathy’s eyes.

You couldn’t blame Lilly for thinking this way. Sean, in his fit of rage, had slapped Cathy, along with all the nonsense he was spouting! Lilly was highly wary of him, as if she was dealing with a robber.

And so Lilly threw seven or eight amulets at him, setting them all on fire!

One of them was stuck on Sean’s head.

The flames roared, as if they were about to burn his hair off.

He sprang back in terror, charging into the bathroom.

Whoosh…

The shower turned on, and Sean was drenched.

The amulet only burned ghosts and spirits and could not burn human beings. Thus it did not burn Sean’s hair at all, and was quickly put on on its own.

But Sean didn’t know this. He only returned to his senses when he was thoroughly wet.

His mind was ringing hard, remembering that he had opened the closet door— and saw a ghost…

The ghost had ridden on his shoulders…

All the hairs on Sean’s body stood up, and he clawed at his shoulders. “Get off, get off!”

Lilly stood at the bathroom door, covering her eyes as she stuck her head in. “Sean, did you take your clothes off?”

She widened her fingers a tiny bit, and saw Sean flailing his hands around his shoulders.

“Sean, there isn’t a ghost on you!”

Sean was still terrified, taking a deep breath and glancing at the mirror.
