Xyla Quest proved to be as brave as a female commander when her motivation was to protect the man behind her.

She needed Stanley Batton to live no matter what happened to her.

The nine-tailed demon fox began to laugh when he heard her.

Then, a golden ray of light flashed before a man wrapped in a long, red robe appeared in its place.

Xyla thought he looked familiar, resembling the character who once appeared in her dreams before.

There was no difference in both of his appearances.

She frowned, subconsciously pulling Stanley backward like a hen protecting its chick. "You're the nine-tailed demon fox."

He smiled in a way that had a sinister effect. "Indeed, I am."

According to legends, he was a fox that transformed into a human.

He naturally had good looks and seemed attractive, particularly when he smiled.

However, he had a cold aura around him that overshadowed his attractive looks.

Despite how good-looking he was, he still instilled fear in others.

"You appeared so suddenly. Do you agree with my earlier suggestion?" There was a sense of urgency in Xyla's eyes.

He sneered, casually fiddling with a

strand of his hair as he fixed his cold glare at her. "Yes, I agree. You were

Killing one of you is better than letting you die together."

His voice sounded exactly like the voice she'd heard in her dreams.

Xyla was relieved to hear this. "In that case, kill me. You hate me the most, don't you? After all, I was the one who betrayed you."

He regarded her with a look of contemplation, his facial expression still appearing stony. "Yes, I hate you the most. That's why you are not the one who would die.

"You love Stanley so much. I bet you'd suffer more if I killed him and let you live instead. Isn't that much better than killing you directly?"

With that, the nine-tailed demon fox smiled slyly.

Hearing that, Stanley instantly pulled

his wife behind him and leveled his cold eyes at the demon fox. "Yes, it's been decided then. You'll kill me and let her go.

"If only one of us can survive this, I hope that person is Xyla." After saying that, he turned around to gaze at his wife.

He seemed reluctant to leave her.

"Xyla," he said in a low voice. "My life feels complete now. Thank you for being a part of my life. You filled my life with unconditional love and warmth.

"My time spent living in this world was worth every second because of you. I may not be with you in this lifetime, but I hope we can still be together in the next one.

"I'll be waiting for you in the

netherworld until the day you come for me Promise me that you with live on once I'm gone. Don't do anything stupid because our children need you to look after them.

"Also, you should forget about me and move on. Don't fall into despair just because I'm gone," he told her.
