Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1828

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.

As for what the reason was, Xyla would only be able to find out once the god showed up in the future.

If it was meant to be, Xyla would meet that god sooner or later.

“To be honest, I don’t want anything. I just want to return to my father’s side, but that isn’t possible. After all, that was a long time ago, and I can’t possibly go back.”

Sophie released a long sigh after finishing her sentence, making Xyla study her face carefully.

When Sophie made certain faces, she looked like a child.

She was like a naive kid who missed her loved ones and the past.

Xyla could relate to that as she had experienced it before, too.

Sophie nodded before blinking. “Yeah, I thought so, too. However, before you leave, I have a question for you.”

“Yes, go ahead,” Xyla urged.

“I want to stay by your side to protect you. Will you take me in, Master?” Sophie asked.

“Of course,” Xyla replied.

“In that case, I’ll let you leave. However, I must hide first. If I walk out with you like this, the people out there will be horrified,” Sophie said.

“Yes, okay,” Xyla agreed.

“Once you’ve returned safely, I’ll come to you,” Sophie said.

After that, Sophie disappeared before Xyla, but as she did so, the corpse in the coffin returned to its original state.

Xyla felt even more impressed by Sophie when she saw this.
