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
A grand palace of pure white loomed before them.An elegant, young, and beautiful woman clothed in a white, traditional robe sat in the palace.She didn’t seem like an ordinary deity. Her easy smile was delicate as she greeted Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.They glanced at each other before casting curious looks at the emperor.He merely laughed as he regarded them. “This is my wife. She’s also known as the empress in your realm.”Xyla was surprised to hear this.When a person lived long enough, they would see various extraordinary things.Not only did they get to meet the emperor, but they even met the empress.She used to think stuff like that was entirely made up by other kids when she was young.She never thought the emperor and empress even existed in the world.Today, she discovered the truth of their existence.In addition, they seemed even more captivating than television dramas and novels described them to be.“Empress, it is my honor to meet you,” Xyla said as she
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 empero
Xyla Quest felt embarrassed at her own gullibility when she heard her explanation. “All right, then. Thank you for the invitation, Empress.”The empress smiled kindly. “It’s been decided then. We will have a pleasantly long chat today. I’ll send you home after the meal, but you will forget everything that happened tonight once you return.“I’ve also repaid the kindness you once shown to me, so we are both cleared of our debts.“To be honest, I hope you will remember me, but there are heavenly rules to heed. I can’t keep breaking them by abusing my relationship with the emperor.“Logically speaking, ordinary humans shouldn’t be allowed to come here, so you must forget your experiences here. It's the only way to protect the heavenly realm’s mystery,” she added.Xyla nodded her comprehension. “All right, I can understand that.”“Splendid!" the empress declared happily. "Come with me. I’ve already set the table.”With the heavenly royalties leading the way, Xyla and Stanley Batton f
