Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 1498 Exposing Emperor Greenbow's Dark Secrets

In the kitchen, Bettany was cooking alongside Margaret.

Margaret suggested, "Mrs. Crawford, you should take a break. I can handle this."

Cooking for a large family was a lot of work, and Margaret was concerned that Bettany would tire

herself out.

Bettany shook her head. "You know me. I take pleasure in preparing meals for the children myself."

Margaret replied, "Alright then."

Bettany continued, "This is the mantis shrimp Lilly brought back..."

Even though it had been meticulously cleaned and prepared, a single piece of mantis shrimp meat was

larger than a king crab.

"Let's cook it with spaghetti!" she muttered to herself.

Margaret asked, "What about this beef... are we still stewing it?"

Bettany responded, "Yes, let's stew the beef with radish!" She added, "Have the radishes been

washed?"

Margaret, busy on the other side, replied, "Yes, they have."

So, Bettany casually picked up a radish and placed it on the chopping board.

Just then, Radley jumped in through the window from the third floor, slipped, and knocked the radish off

the chopping board. As it was about to get up, a hand suddenly held it down.

At that moment, she gripped the radish, lifted her knife, and started lowering it.

"Holy crap!" the radish exclaimed, recoiling in fright. "You can't cut me!"

Taken aback, she never expected the radish she was just about to cut to start talking. With a clatter, the

startled Bettany dropped her kitchen knife, narrowly avoiding cutting off her toes.

Radley scrambled up in a panic and dashed outside.

After hearing the noise, Margaret turned around. In an instant, she spotted something rushing toward

her, leading to an involuntary drop of what she was holding.

Outside the kitchen, there was a larger vegetable washing basin. The King of Styx had just finished

washing the vegetables and was about to return to the kitchen. Upon hearing the commotion in the

kitchen, he hurried in to see what was happening, only to have his basket of vegetables kicked away by

the fleeing Radley.

The King of Styx exclaimed, "What the heck is that!" When he noticed his food about to be ruined, his

eyes turned red, and his hunting instincts kicked in. He raised his hand, drew out a weapon, and

slashed at Radley.

The radish pleaded, "Wait... wait a minute!" It wondered, Oh my god! Is it because I saw Lilly's uncle

earlier? First a kitchen knife, and now a spiked club—this is too harsh. Swearing frantically, it

continued, "I will never peek again! I absolutely won't target acquaintances again. Holy crap, stop!"

The commotion in the kitchen was so loud that Lilly appeared in a flash. What she saw was a complete

mess. The King of Styx swung a big club, chasing and hitting Radley.

Suddenly, a white barrier lit up in the kitchen. Fearing that Radley would ruin all the food, the King of

Styx immediately summoned a magical artifact to protect the dishes. This magical artifact seemed to be

his trump card, and the radish didn't manage to escape in time. "I'll teach you a lesson for ruining my

Christmas Eve dinner! How dare you peek at acquaintances? Let me give you a good beating!"

When Radley spotted Lilly, it pleaded, "Young master, save me..."

Silence fell upon everyone upon hearing those words.

A subtle twitch appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The first to join her was Matthan, who gazed wide-eyed at the talking radish. Unable to contain his

amazement, he murmured, Wow, this is exciting!

Soon after, Pablo, Blake, Jean, and others arrived, each with a suppressed smile tugging at the corners

of their mouths.

Lilly grabbed Radley and hurriedly walked toward Bettany, anxiously asking, "Grandma, are you okay?"

Bettany was taken aback. She had been about to slice a radish when, unexpectedly, the radish started

moving as if it were a fish. Anyone would be surprised by such an occurrence. "I'm fine..." Confusion

lingered on her face. She glanced at Lilly, then at the King of Styx, and back at Radley. She wondered,

How did the big spiked club appear in Styx's hand? It's clearly a white radish, so how can it talk? Trying

to make sense of the situation, she reached out to Margaret, "Let's go outside first, and... let Blake take

charge of the cooking!"

Blake promptly led Bettany outside.

Jean stayed by Bettany's side, and Bettany sighed, saying, "I'm getting old. My eyesight is

deteriorating, and I'm even hearing things..."

Margaret quickly understood and replied with lingering fear, "Yes, it seems we're exhausted from

working all day. Ah, I'm getting old too."

Once everything was settled, Radley sat obediently in front of Lilly, its head down.

At that moment, Polly cawed, "Stewed radish, stewed radish! We're having stewed radish tonight!"

Matthan, who loved to witness excitement, chimed in, "Stewed radish, beef stew with radish!" As he

spoke, he held his straw cup in his hand and shook it.

Ivan could never have imagined that not long after he left, Radley had caused such a commotion,

witnessed by so many people. However, this was just a "minor issue."

After dinner, everyone gathered in Lilly's room as usual. They listened to her recount her experiences

in the Nether.

Josh remarked, "The Nether is so magical, and it even has relatives of my mother..."

Zachary, growing more curious, asked, "Is Ivan truly Emperor Greenbow?" Updаted at

She nodded in response.

Drake frowned and grumbled, "I didn't expect him to be so famous."

Radley suddenly chimed in, "Actually, let me tell you, Emperor Greenbow is not as distant as you

imagine... You guys have no idea! His inner world is so rich! Let me tell you..."

Naturally, in the presence of Lilly, Radley understood the boundaries and refrained from explicitly

mentioning that Emperor Greenbow had harbored feelings for her in his past life.

The others remained silent, their expressions conveying a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
