Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2353

Stanley Batton shook his head slightly, feeling equally confused.

"If you have any questions, you might as well ask me. What's the point of murmuring between you?" the voice said. "Xyla, my original plan was to torture you and Stanley adequately before killing you both.

"I wanted you to feel the pain of losing everyone important to you right before losing your life. I just never expected Sophie to appear out of the blue to take my life, leaving me in my spirit form to wander this world."

Fear began to spread through Xyla Quest. Her palms dampened with sweat instantly upon realizing the grave danger they were in.

They were only ordinary human beings whereas the nine-tailed demon fox proved to be a deadly adversary despite being in his spirit form.

"Where is this place? Are you going to kill us?" she asked boldly.

At this point, Xyla knew being fearful wouldn't solve anything. She had to face her fears head-on no matter what. So, she forced herself to remain calm.

His voice sounded firm without even the slightest hint of hesitation. It made Xyla feel so moved and loved.

People often say that a person's true colors are revealed during times of crisis.

She had never been more certain of how much he loved her until that very moment.

She couldn't help but tear up at his words to the demon fox.

She moved to stand directly in front of the man she loved in an attempt to protect him. “No, let Stanley go. Kill me if you want. I'm willing to pay any price," she declared confidently.

"Take whatever you think we are indebted to you from me. Let my husband go. You hate me, don't you? And you want us to have a taste of what it feels to lose

everyone we love?

"If so, won't killing only one of us while leaving the other alive be more satisfying?

"It won't matter which one of us dies. The one who survives would forever be in pain. That is a much better revenge than killing both of us, don't you think?" she added.
