Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1826

"That god even told me that the person who would resurrect me is my master, and if I wanted to repay my master's kindness, I would have to stay by their side and protect them. "I asked about the duration I would need to protect my master, and he told me that I'd have to do it until a time he thought to be sufficient.

"I had a vivid memory of him with white hair and a white beard, wearing a long white robe. He struck me as a kind and righteous old man.

"I asked him what his rank was in the celestial realm, but he didn't answer me. He left right after that," Sophie Kenwick explained.

Her words made Xyla Quest feel even more perplexed.

After listening to all this, Xyla sensed that the god did not have any nefarious intention. He had intentionally planned for Sophie to protect Xyla.

But why did it have to be Sophie?

Xyla frowned slightly. "Why you, though?"

Sophie shook her head. "I don't know either. There were many things he refused to divulge despite my interrogations. He just kept repeating how he couldn't reveal heavenly secrets. "Master, I've waited for you for a long time, and you're finally here. My father is long gone, now that I've resurrected." The light in Sophie's eyes disappeared as she talked about this. She lowered her face in sadness, and soon, tears began flowing down from the corner of her eyes.

She looked pitiful when she cried.

Throughout this conversation, Xyla began to let her guard down.

She retrieved a white handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Sophie, who accepted it and quickly wiped her tears away.

"During my time here, I have been paying attention to my father and my family. I witnessed his death in person, as well as the passing of my family members. I saw the rise and fall of each one of them.

"To be honest, I was depressed when I watched each of them leave. I have thought about giving up on waiting for you... I wanted to give up on myself.

"I didn't see a point to living on when everyone I knew was gone. However, just as I made up my mind, the god appeared again and told me not to give up.

"He said that my fate was tied to my loved ones. The longer I waited, the better their luck would be. Their lives would also be better when they reincarnate.

"On the other hand, if I were to give up on my life, their luck would fade. They would be reborn into lowly backgrounds, even to the point of turning into animals only to get slaughtered by humans.

"I didn't dare to give up when I heard about this. I had no choice but to wait as I didn't want my loved ones to come back with bad luck.

"By the one-thousandth year of

waiting, the god came to see me

again, advising me to continue being patient. He even said that my loved ones led charmed lives each time е they reincarnated. My father, especially, had never stopped being apart of the noble families." Sophie's eyes lit up as she talked about this.

Xyla sighed in relief. "That's great."
