Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2364

The real emperor looked nothing like the one in the portrait Xyla Quest had seen previously.

"That is merely a coincidence. The real emperor is different from the one you saw in the portrait, isn't he?" the empress asked.

Xyla nodded her head and then leveled her gaze directly at the empress. "Thank you for protecting me, my husband, and our two children, Empress."

At last, she had finally found the answers to some of her lingering questions after so long.

As it turned out, the one secretly helping them all along was the empress.

Xyla was full of gratitude for her help that she pulled Stanley Batton along to kneel before the empress.

"Thank you," she said with utmost sincerity.

The empress chuckled. "You saved my life, and therefore it was my duty to return the favor.

"You should be thanking the emperor, too, to be honest. He is the reason why the charms I gave you worked during those crucial moments you needed them most.

"Before the nine-tailed demon fox found you, the emperor already knew I was helping you in secret. He decided to turn a blind eye when he couldn't stand my constant naggings. "He was even willing to guide you to the heavenly palace after defeating the nine-tailed demon fox to grant my wish of meeting you face-to-face after everything that has happened. "You see, ordinary humans do not have the right to come to the heavenly palace," the empress explained.

Xyla realized that the emperor and the empress were deeply in love after hearing everything she had said.

The most powerful man in the heavenly realm was also a loving husband.

"Thank you," she addressed the emperor directly with a smile.

However, he shook his head. "No, don't thank me. It's all my wife's doing. I couldn't stand her nagging, so I finally relented.

"And also because she threatened to divorce me if something happened to you this time," he added after a lengthy pause, his eyes betraying his helplessness as he spoke. Xyla was shocked. "What?"

The empress merely shrugged with

a calm expression on her face. "Don't be surprised. I only did that to achieve my objective, didn't I?4f I didn't threaten to do that, he would never allow those charms to work."

Xyla couldn't resist laughing. She didn't expect an empress from the heavenly realm would resort to the same tactics as ordinary women in the human world.

All women threatened their husbands with divorce to get what they wanted.

"You're amazing," she laughed, raising her thumb at the empress.

"Not too bad, I guess. Since you're here, why don't you both stay for a meal before you leave?"

"I'd rather not, she replied, shaking

her head regretfully. "I heard that spending a day in the heavenly realm is equivalent to a year in the human realm. A year would have gone by there if we had spent a day here.

"Stanley and I would've disappeared for an entire year for the people back home. They wouldn't be able to handle it.

"My in-laws and children, especially, would go mad," she added.

"That's right," Stanley chipped in.

They didn't want to remain there for too long, although they were curious about experiencing a meal with an emperor and an empress at the heavenly palace. They only wanted to return home as soon as possible.

"Silly children! Those are all lies from novels," the empress shook her head in disdain. "In reality, time passes at the same rate here as in your world. Why would you believe in something so ridiculous?"
