The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 153 Summary At noon, Lillian sat with her friends Jill and Natalie in the school cafeteria, where they discussed a new girl named Eda, who seemed to be a strong rival to Lillian. The conversation quickly turned to rumors about a rivalry between Lillian and Eda for the title of school belle, but Lillian firmly ended the gossip, emphasizing that rumors were often distorted.
They then shifted the topic to the upcoming school festival, where Natalie eagerly planned to perform, while Lillian declined, citing her need to focus on her cultivation progress and responsibilities. Later that evening, back at her Golden Coast estate, Lillian entered her inner space where two small creatures, Blue and a little fox, greeted her with playful reproach for her recent absence. She promised to visit them daily from now on, bringing a lighthearted moment to the quiet space.
Lillian then inspected her medicine fields, amazed to see that the rare Light Herb was reproducing successfully, emitting a soothing fragrance that seemed to relax her deeply. Inspired by this discovery, Lillian carefully harvested the herbs and spent hours refining them into a small blue pill. She tested the medicine on herself, experiencing an immediate surge of warmth and spiritual energy that revitalized her body and dantian. This breakthrough energized her, and she practiced condensing spiritual energy into a blade, which shattered a stone with ease, surprising even herself.
Encouraged by this unexpected power, Lillian expressed gratitude to Blue and the little fox, acknowledging their support as her "lucky stars." The chapter closes with Lillian embracing her new life, determined to live for herself and amazed by the extraordinary effects of the Light Herb, which marked a significant breakthrough in her cultivation journey. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 153: Breakthrough At the stroke of noon, Lillian found herself seated alongside her close friends in the bustling school cafeteria.
Jill was absorbed in her phone, her lips curling into a mischievous grin as she read something aloud. "This new girl, Eda, really seems to be something special. Lillian, looks like you finally have a worthy rival," she teased, her voice light but filled with intrigue. Lillian took a delicate bite of a rib, savoring the flavor slowly before nodding thoughtfully. "Mm, she definitely has talent. I caught a glimpse of it this morning," she admitted, a hint of respect in her tone. Natalie, still focused on her meal, snorted with amusement. "Jill, you didn't see her performance.
That woman carried this almost saintly aura, like she was the only genuinely kind and generous person around, and everyone else was just petty and narrow-minded. You should've been there-Lillian tore her down so thoroughly she couldn't even get a word in." Jill chuckled at their banter. "Well, whatever really happened, the whole school's buzzing about it. They say you two argued over who should be crowned the school belle." Natalie nearly dropped her chopsticks, eyes wide with disbelief. "What? People are actually spreading that?
That's nowhere near the truth!" She was about to launch into a passionate defense, but Lillian raised a hand gently to halt her. "Enough. Rumors twist and turn depending on who tells them. Let's not waste our energy on gossip. Change the subject-this conversation ends here." Jill nodded in agreement. "You're right. So, moving on-the school festival is coming up soon. Are you guys performing?" "Of course!" Natalie said with a confident toss of her head, a proud smirk playing on her lips. "With my dancing skills, there's no way I'd miss the chance to be on stage." Lillian smiled warmly.
"You're really talented at dancing. It'd be a shame if you didn't participate." Natalie's grin widened. "See? I'm talented too!" Jill sighed, amused by Natalie's self-satisfaction, then turned to Lillian. "What about you? Are you joining in? I know you have hidden talents." "I'm not," Lillian answered simply. "I don't have the time." Her responsibilities still weighed heavily on her. Although the company affairs were mostly stable, her cultivation progress had been stagnant since returning from abroad. To reach the ninth level soon, she needed to focus all her energy.

Jill wasn't surprised and gave a knowing nod. "I figured as much. You've never been interested in those things anyway. I've noticed-at school, only classes and exams truly matter to you. Nothing else ever seems to catch your attention." After lunch, the school's rhythm quickly returned to normal, the earlier gossip fading into the background. That evening, back at the serene Golden Coast estate, Lillian stepped into her inner space. Two small creatures immediately bounded toward her, their eyes wide and filled with a touch of hurt.
Amused by their pitiful expressions, Lillian bent down to meet their gaze. "Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. I've been busy lately, but starting now, I promise I'll visit you every day." Blue and the little fox exchanged a serious glance before straightening their postures. "Fine. You sound sincere, so we'll forgive you this time." Their proud little performance made Lillian laugh aloud, the sound light and genuine. She then made her way toward the medicine fields.
Rows upon rows of vibrant herbs stretched out before her, their lush greenery glowing under the soft light of the inner space. Years of venturing deep into mountain forests to gather rare plants had left her with a vast collection, and Blue had carefully cultivated them all here. Thanks to the fertile soil and dense spiritual energy permeating the space, the herbs thrived, even the rarest species multiplying abundantly. Approaching the section of Light Herb, Lillian crouched down to admire the plants.
Since she had planted them here, she had noticed a faint, unfamiliar fragrance clinging to her body, especially at night. The gentle scent seemed to wrap around her like a soothing veil, lulling her into a deep, peaceful relaxation. She suspected the Light Herb was responsible. The plants glowed softly with a gentle green light. Their turquoise blossoms appeared more delicate than ever, the leaves a richer jade, and around their bases, fresh sprouts were beginning to emerge. "Blue, are these new Light Herb plants too?" she asked, eyes wide with surprise. Blue puffed up with pride. "Yes!
They've just started reproducing recently." Lillian's face lit up with delight. She had never expected the Light Herb to propagate so well in this space. If used in medicine, the effects could be extraordinary. Without hesitation, she carefully plucked a leaf and began selecting other rare herbs from the field. Step by step, she roasted, ground, and refined the ingredients, meticulously crafting them into a small pill. Three hours later, she held a tiny blue pill between her fingers, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. Without hesitation, she popped it into her mouth.
For a physician like Lillian, testing new medicine on herself was essential. Only by experiencing its effects firsthand could she truly understand its nature. She stored the remaining pills in a bottle, planning to observe the results over time. Nearby, Sunny and Blue frolicked happily while Lillian watched them with a gentle, contented smile. Having been reborn, everything was unfolding along the path she had chosen for herself. In her previous life, she had lived only to please others, molding herself into whatever shape they desired.
In the end, she had been nothing more than a fool's clown. But now, in this life, she was living for herself-just Lillian. Moments later, a comforting warmth began to spread through her body. Her dantian surged as waves of heat poured into it. Quickly, she sat cross-legged, focusing her senses. The warmth wrapped around her like a cocoon, flowing through every vein, and the exhaustion from refining medicine vanished instantly. Power surged through her-this had to be the Light Herb's effect.
Looking down at her hands, she felt spiritual energy flooding into her body, her dantian swelling with fullness. Fixing her gaze on a nearby stone, her eyes sharpened with determination. Energy gathered in her palm, taking shape like a blade, and with a swift motion, she sent it flying. The stone shattered instantly into countless fragments. Blue squealed in excitement. "You did it! You actually condensed spiritual energy into a blade!" Sunny hurried over, eyes wide with amazement. Staring at the scattered rubble, Lillian could hardly believe it herself.
"I didn't expect the power to be this strong." Then, turning to her two companions, she smiled softly. "But I really have to thank you both. You're my lucky stars." She had never imagined the Light Herb's effects would be this astonishing-far beyond anything she had dared to dream. Conclusion This chapter beautifully captures Lillian's journey of self-discovery and growth, emphasizing her determination to live life on her own terms.
Surrounded by friends and companions, she navigates the complexities of rumor and rivalry with grace, choosing to focus on what truly matters: her cultivation and inner strength.
