Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2055

The weather had changed drastically outside, turning everything dark around Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.

They couldn't even see their own hands.

Xyla subconsciously wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck.

Why was this strange phenomenon taking place? Was the nine-tailed demon fox here?

Stanley tightened his hold on his wife, not daring to let go as he frowned while peering around cautiously.

And then everything brightened up again, causing them to squint.

Right then, Xyla noticed a book and a silver hairpin on the final step of the staircase not far away from where they stood.

The silver hairpin had a simple yet elegant design with a red gemstone engraved on its edge.

Xyla was stunned.

Meanwhile, a look of surprise also appeared across Stanley's face as he promptly carried Xyla down the stairs before setting her down carefully.

He then picked up the silver hairpin and book.

The book was the classic kind of book they frequently saw in period dramas with a dark blue cover.

The hairpin seemed simple yet luxurious up close.

The red gemstone had a faint glow that seemed to flicker continually.

What were these things?

Xyla and Stanley immediately exchanged glances.

"How did this happen? The weather changed so suddenly just now," Xyla wondered out loud. "Someone deliberately left us these things. But what's the meaning of this? "Honey, let's open the book and see what's inside."

Stanley frowned but obeyed and opened the book, noticing a distinct scent of bibliosmia typically found in organic materials.

The pages within were dark yellowish, looking somewhat aged.

Every page was blank, without a single content in the entire book.

Xyla shot Stanley a look of surprise. "What is this?"

Who sent them these items? What was the point?

She couldn't understand it.

Xyla then reached for the silver hairpin Stanley held to examine carefully.

Despite her vast knowledge, she couldn't remain calm without reacting to what happened.

Stanley and Xyla both exchanged shocked glances.

He held onto the book as he gazed at her. "Maybe we're meant for an object each?"

Xyla nodded slowly, agreeing that it seemed to be the case.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" she frowned.

Although, for some unknown reason, her instincts were telling her it was a good thing.

Stanley felt the same way.
