“Comparing only makes one angry. I suddenly want to divorce my husband…”“Me too. My husband isn’t as rich or as attentive as Stanley. What’s the point of keeping him around?”“I’m truly envious… there’s no greater love than this.” “I’ve always known that he pampers his wife. Now that I’ve seen it in person, I know that he is indeed different.”The female experts couldn’t resist talking amongst themselves again, their voices overlapping and sounding chaotic.However, Xyla Quest could hear everything.Without betraying any emotion, she merely smiled and continued to look at Stanley Batton. “In that case, stay here with me.”“Okay,” Stanley replied.“We’re all hungry. Did you bring anything to eat? I was going to ask someone up there to buy some food,” Xyla said.“I did... someone will bring the food down later,” he stated.“Okay.”“You must be tired, Honey,” he said.Xyla shook her head. “Not at all. They’re the ones who are tired.” Her husband then looked around at every
When Xyla Quest heard the voice, a sensation of numbness settled over her head.The workers were also nervous as their eyes widened in terror.Stanley Batton frowned slightly before glancing around. He then turned toward the direction where the sound came from.Seeing this, Xyla subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, mustering the courage to look in the same direction.The scream had come from the seventh room where they found the coffin.Xyla felt the numbness worsen.Could the sound have come from the corpse in the coffin?The others were also looking in the direction of the coffin, a tensed mood settling over them.With the entire world falling silent, it was as if they could even hear a pin drop.It was the kind of deadly silence that people were most afraid of.Xyla’s nerves had also gotten tense as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.Under such circumstances, Stanley was her only source of security.It felt like she was holding onto a floating log to stop
It was so dark that nobody could even see their fingers in front of them.Everybody started talking at once... many even screamed out loud.Overwhelmed with fear once again, a strange force suddenly lifted Xyla Quest, her body flying forward rapidly.It happened so fast that she couldn’t react in time.She could not even cry for help, even if she wanted to.It felt as if there was a restriction in her throat that stopped her from making any sound.Her body floated in the air and moved forward as if she was in outer space where gravity no longer existed.The darkness intensified feelings of fear, and at this very moment, Xyla had never been more scared.Her heart was also beating faster and faster as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The strong sense of fear caused her mind to go blank.Right then, Xyla felt that she had lost complete control of her body, where a strange force was whirling her around like a spinning top in the air.And then, her body stopped mid-air.W
The girl before Xyla seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen.Her skin was fair and smooth. She was skinny, but with curves in all the right places.The girl had adorable bangs.Her facial features made her seem like she was from mixed heritage. There wasn’t a single flaw on her body.Xyla Quest subconsciously looked around her.She had a shadow, which meant she wasn't a ghost.She was human.Xyla took a deep breath and looked at her. “You… who are you? Are you that corpse?”The girl blinked. “Yes.”There was a youthfulness in her voice, and she sounded pleasant.At that moment, she appeared to be harmless. However, Xyla was still wary of her.Xyla frowned. “Did you do those things to me because… you’re angry at me? Is that it? Do you think I’ve taken away your possessions?“If that’s the case, I’m willing to return everything,” Xyla added.However, the girl shook her head and blinked again, highlighting her long eyelashes.Whenever she blinked, her eyelashes would flutt
Xyla Quest subconsciously took a step back. Her heart was still filled with terror, but she remained calm on the surface. “What are you doing?”The girl smiled. “If I wanted to do anything, I would’ve done it by now. Do you think I’d keep you here until now?”'That made sense, too.'Even so, Xyla still didn’t let her guard down.“What exactly do you want?”The girl smiled again, showing her white and immaculate teeth.Right away, the girl knelt in front of Xyla. “Master, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”Xyla was suddenly dumbfounded. What did she mean by that?“Why were you waiting for me? What do you mean?” Xyla asked.“I have been waiting for you for over 1900 years, and now you’re finally here, Master,” the girl said in earnest.Xyla couldn't be more confused. 1900 years?She had been waiting for Xyla for over 1900 years.“Why were you waiting for me?” Xyla asked.“Allow me to introduce myself," the girl replied. "I’m a princess from Warrington. My
“That god even told me that the person who would resurrect me is my master, and if I wanted to repay my master’s kindness, I would have to stay by their side and protect them.“I asked about the duration I would need to protect my master, and he told me that I’d have to do it until a time he thought to be sufficient.“I had a vivid memory of him with white hair and a white beard, wearing a long white robe. He struck me as a kind and righteous old man.“I asked him what his rank was in the celestial realm, but he didn’t answer me. He left right after that,” Sophie Kenwick explained.Her words made Xyla Quest feel even more perplexed.After listening to all this, Xyla sensed that the god did not have any nefarious intention. He had intentionally planned for Sophie to protect Xyla.But why did it have to be Sophie?Xyla frowned slightly. “Why you, though?”Sophie shook her head. “I don’t know either. There were many things he refused to divulge despite my interrogations. He just k
Sophie Kenwick laughed. “Yeah, that is great. However, the god didn’t tell me who my father and kins had reincarnated into due to heavenly secrets and all.“I may not know who they are, but I’m happy enough to know that they lived wonderful lives each time they reincarnated.“Honestly, waiting for you in this dark place was torturous, but thank you for finally coming to me and letting me become human again. Now I can finally see the light…“I am so grateful to you because that god told me that my loved ones would all receive a tremendous blessing after I become human again.“Because of your arrival, they will have even better lives in the future,” Sophie said with an earnest look in her eyes.Xyla couldn’t help herself from reaching out to hold her hands. “What about you? Will your life get better too?”“Yes, as a matter of fact, I’ve acquired immortality," Sophie answered. "I get to live forever.”“That’s pretty nice.”“I don’t think so. All my loved ones are gone. There’s no
Sophie Kenwick’s words made Xyla Quest feel increasingly curious about the god she had mentioned.Why was he helping her?Why did it have to be Sophie?“Why did it have to be you?” Xyla asked.Sophie shook her head. There was a brightness in her eyes. “I don’t know either.”“I asked him a lot of questions, but he wouldn’t answer any of them. He either said he couldn’t reveal heavenly secrets or that I would naturally find out when the time is right.” Sophie’s eyes suddenly lit up after she finished her sentence.“Oh, right. He mentioned…” Sophie trailed off.“What?” Xyla asked.“He mentioned I would receive a special reward once I’ve done well enough, but he didn’t tell me specifically what it was,” Sophie said.“I kept asking for more details, and he replied that it was something I greatly desired. After that, he left.” The more Xyla heard, the more mysterious she found this god.Xyla believed that there should be a special reason why Sophie was the one sent to help her.
