Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2022

The two children were floating mid-air despite not being supported by any object.

The tubes connected to their bodies were gone, but they seemed to be in an even better state now than other babies born after a full-term pregnancy.

Their bodies emitted golden light, lighting up the entire space around them with their glow.

Stanley Batton and Yaksha had to look away due to how bright the light was.

Suddenly, the light coming from them disappeared before the babies slowly drifted over to the two men, prompting them to reach out and catch them subconsciously.

At that moment, they both looked shocked.

Yaksha stayed silent and slowly carried the baby girl as he sat on the ground before checking her pulse.

He seemed even more shocked when he was done.

“What is it?” Stanley asked.

Yaksha quickly stood up. “This kid seems even healthier than full-term babies. She’s healthy and won’t need to be kept in an insulated case. She won’t even need any medication.

“Not only that, but I also sense a strong spiritual power in them. I think it's protecting them.”

Stanley seemed surprised to hear this. “What?”

Yaksha slowly nodded. “It’s true. This spiritual power is very strong.”

“Have a look at my boy,” Stanley said.

Yaksha silently placed his finger on the baby boy’s wrist, checking his pulse before turning his gaze back at Stanley.

“It’s the same for him.”

Right then, the two children’s bodies started emitting golden rays of light again, appearing like two bright chandeliers in the darkness.

Stanley and Yaksha couldn’t help but squint.

They followed the light and saw a white fox tail on the ground not far away from them.

It was covered in blood and looked like it had just fallen off.

Yaksha seemed even more shocked as he quickly took a few steps back.

“That must be the demon fox’s tail. Nine-tailed foxes have nine lives. Each time they die, they’d lose a single tail. It means that it had already died once.”

With that, Yaksha looked at Stanley in excitement. “This means that somebody saved the children! No, to be more accurate, it might be another demon or a god.

“Or, there’s another possibility-” he trailed off.

“What might that be?” Stanley asked with a curious gaze.

“The children protected themselves. After all, they both possess spiritual power. It might have been activated when the demon fox attacked them, attacking the nine-tailed fox in return,” Yaksha explained.

Stunned for a few seconds, Stanley soon calmed down, knowing that he had encountered too many mystical incidents like this anyway.
