Xyla Quest was in anguish at that moment, feeling like her body and her soul had been completely torn apart.It hurt so badly that she couldn’t breathe.She wished this was all in her imagination. She hoped it was just a vivid nightmare that would go away and return to normal once she woke up.As soon as Stanley Batton finished speaking, he suddenly floated up into the air, and then his body began to burn.The pain was excruciating, but he somehow kept a neutral expression on his face.The sight of her husband's burning body was now etched in the depths of Xyla’s heart.She hated herself right then for not being able to fight against the nine-tailed demon fox.They were only ordinary human beings, after all. Despite being more powerful, wealthy, and influential than many others in their real world, they remained powerless in this mystical realm.They were worthless in the face of magic.She began to cry as she clenched her fists, charging toward the nine-tailed demon fox. He w
“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 al
Xyla Quest truly felt like the most powerless person ever.She couldn’t do a single thing when the love of her life was suffering right before her very eyes.As she chased the nine-tailed demon fox around, the latter began mocking her again—“Haha, give up, Xyla. You’re still just as stubborn as you were in your past life. You won't beat me no matter how hard you try. You’re just an ordinary person with no magical powers.“Any random spirit in the netherworld would be stronger than you. Give up the fight. It’s pointless. Hahaha,” he taunted with a maniacal laugh.She found it extremely annoying as everything he said infuriated her.With all the rage amassing within her, she felt like her heart would soon explode.She was about to go mad.Then, all of a sudden, a pink light surrounded her body right before some mysterious force lifted her from the ground.She ascended ten meters into the air, the sudden loss of gravity making her heart pound.It was quite an unbelievable thing
Xyla Quest felt nothing but contempt toward the nine-tailed demon fox.To be able to exact revenge on him with her mysterious powers gave her a certain sense of satisfaction.Immediately after that, her body started attacking him with the same rapid moves without her controlling it.Beside her, Stanley Batton did the same thing.A combination of bright pink and blue rays blazed toward the nine-tailed demon fox in the next second.The light rays grew brighter, lighting up the entire spirit realm.The demon fox tried his best to evade their attacks.The light rays directly charged toward the sea of red spider lilies, causing them to wither as countless red petals blasted into the air to rain down around them.The scene provided a beautiful backdrop to what would be a bloody scene in stark contrast.Although the nine-tailed demon fox fought back relentlessly, he felt his magic powers waning as if they were restrained by something.He was helpless to do anything apart from contin
It wasn't long before Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton moved against their will to fly in circles in the air.Their backs were against each other while attacking the injured nine-tailed demon fox.It looked exactly like a scene from one of the fantasy television dramas they had seen before.Despite the strange sight, Xyla still felt some satisfaction that they could physically hurt the demon fox for a change.Indeed, she owed a debt for what she had done to him in her past life, but she did nothing wrong in this lifetime.She was innocent this time, so she didn’t owe him anything.He had her stepmother and sister brainwashed to torture her, and she even nearly died on several occasions.Then, he instructed Betty Starmount to poison her father and kill him.He even abducted her newborn babies and nearly killed them, too.Xyla could no longer tolerate his existence.She couldn’t accept that her sins in a past life could justify all the harm he inflicted upon her in this lifetime.
Xyla Quest closed her eyes and silently thought to herself, “Dad, we have avenged your death. From this moment on, my family can live in peace. I hope you will also rest easy and peacefully.”She felt excited then.At first, she expected the nine-tailed demon fox would cause a lot of trouble in her life. She thought they might eventually lose everyone in their family because of him.To their surprise, none of that happened because of Sophie Kenwick and their superpowers that appeared suddenly.As if on cue, a golden ray of light flashed before them before all the red spider lilies scattered, causing countless flaming red petals to dance in the sky.It was a captivating sight to behold. While the petals danced in the air, golden rays of light glistened endlessly.The spirit realm seemed to glow spectacularly.Xyla and Stanley Batton were stunned by the scene before them, observing with interest as the red petals formed a long stairway to the top of the sky.It disappeared amon
Approximately an hour later, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton finally made it to the top of the stairs, where they connected to a white, palace-like structure.When they ventured further up, they saw an ancient city gateway with the words ‘Southern Sky Entrance’ written on it.Dense mist surrounded the city walls, making the place look like paradise.Through the mist, they could see soldiers in armors patrolling everywhere.The entire setting reminded them of heavenly palaces they had seen in television dramas.However, they couldn’t see anything else when they peeked further down.There was nothing but white mist beneath them.There were two guards by the city gateway who hastily approached them when they came into sight.“Who are you?” they asked simultaneously.“Where is this place?” Xyla asked in return.“This is the heavenly palace, of course,” one guard replied haughtily.She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She and Stanley were at the heavenly palace?It turned ou
There were white pavilions everywhere and flowers of various colors on both sides of the road.These flowers were different from those found in the human realm.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had never seen any of those flowers before.Each flower glistened brightly.The whole place seemed so pretty that Xyla couldn’t look away.“This place looks amazing. These flowers look so different from those in the human realm,” she whispered with a sigh.“Yeah,” her husband said.One of the guards laughed indifferently. “Of course. This is the heavenly palace. You can’t compare this to the human realm.”Xyla and Stanley didn’t comment further, preferring to follow after them quietly.Right then, they had more questions on their minds.Why did the emperor bring them to the heavenly palace?They were two ordinary human beings. Why would the emperor look after them that way?At the same time, the two guards were equally curious. They used magic to detect that Xyla and Stanley were indeed
