Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2365

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 followed them into the backyard.

Mist surrounded the open area, where they detected a light scent of plum in the air.

Many plum flowers were in full bloom now.

It was a very comfortable environment with fresh air and the right temperature.

The place seemed enchanting to Xyla as her gaze took in everything around her.

She saw a pavilion deep in the forest of plum trees with a white jade table within. A mouth-watering spread of food and fruits was ready for them.

Everything looked so appetizing, with the seemingly special effects in place, making Xyla feel ravenous suddenly.

She figured those peaches were probably the same legendary flat peaches quoted in books about the heavenly realm as exceptionally juice and delicious.

She felt so lucky that she had the opportunity to taste them today.

She would bet that the apples and cherries here were also much more delicious than those from home, although these particular fruits were never mentioned in books she had read.

Stanley also seemed very interested in the delicious food on the table.

The empress chuckled and pulled her husband along to sit down.
