Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2356

"Please," Xyla Quest pleaded. "If you won't forgive us, then kill me! I'm the one who should die, not him. Kill me, please."

She meant everything she said from the very core of her being.

However, the nine-tailed demon fox gave her a chilling stare and chuckled as he toyed with his hair.

He didn't take her words to heart.

"The one who needs to die shouldn't have it easy. You must stay alive and suffer the pain of Stanley's death.

"This is what you owe me, Xyla. You will pay me back in such a manner because I won't accept any other method. Everyone needs to pay for what they have done. Isn't that right?" he asked in a booming voice, sounding firm and irrefutable.

By then, Stanley Baton had already developed a numbness from being burned.

Strangely, his skin remained undamaged despite being torched for so long, but Xyla wasn't in the right frame of mind to think about it logically.

Instead, she continued to look pleadingly at the nine-tailed demon fox. "Don't you think this is all very unfair? The one who wronged you before was a previous version of me in another lifetime. I'm completely innocent in this one."

He smirked at that. "I don't care. All I know is that you have to pay for whatever you did before. I hope you will suffer from this pain forever, Xyla. Hahaha," he laughed mercilessly. There was a look of triumph in his eyes.

Seeing that her plea had fallen on deaf ears, she stood up and tried to attack him again, but this time, he was quick to dodge her effort playfully.

In a blink of an eye, he had dashed behind her and making her feel helpless as she fell forward.

She felt like all her efforts were in vain, and all her human abilities were utterly useless against him.

With the demon fox out of her sight, she whirled around, and then her eyes met with his charming gaze.

He lazily played with his hair while

he peered at her. "How dare you try to hurt me? You must be dreaming. Give up the fight, Xyla. You're no match for me right now, and neither is Stanley.

"How could an ordinary human possibly beat a spirit like me? I may not be as powerful as before, but I'm still much stronger than you ordinary humans."

Then, he waved his hand toward Stanley again, further fueling the flames that had engulfed his body as they burned even hotter.

Stanley was already in a great deal

of pain from the fire, but he didn't want his wife to see him suffere Therefore, he gritted his teeth to refrain from groaning in pain.

To endure the torture, he clenched his fists until they were trembling from the exertion.

"Xyla, stop resisting, he managed to

gasp out through clenched teeth while struggling to free himself from unseen restraints. "We can't beat him. Don't hurt yourself."

However, his effort didn't help at all.

How could Xyla give up so easily seeing him like that?

She lunged at the nine-tailed demon fox again, but he managed to dodge in time.

She kept pursuing him in determination, although she could never quite catch up with him.

At that point, she was thoroughly panicking.
