Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2317

“There was one other condition," Yaksha said. "She has to go to the lowest level in hell and suffer the worst types of torture for 999 days. It was the only way she could pay off the debt you and Stanley owe in your past lives.”

Xyla Quest felt her heart weighing heavily upon hearing his explanation.

She could barely breathe.

She didn’t dare imagine how Sophie Kenwick would bear the 999 days of torture.

She was such a vulnerable little girl. How could she handle it?

“Apart from being cut and burned, there are more terrifying forms of torture in hell,” he added in a troubled tone.

“Yaksha, I don’t agree with this. Can I take back what Sophie said in her place?” Xyla asked, feeling devastated.

“You can’t, not when she had already decided," he said, shaking his head. "Did you know that your sister, Emily, was under that nine-tailed demon fox’s control? Your stepmother, May, as well.”

Xyla wasn’t surprised by that. She had suspected they were controlled by that entity a while ago.

“What did Stanley and I do to it in our past lives?” Xyla asked.

“You were originally his wife back then. He sacrificed a lot for you and loved you deeply, but you betrayed him and fell in love with Stanley, who was human.

“Not long after that, you eloped with Stanley. He was enraged, so he started hunting him down. You two worked together to ruin his cultivation to stay alive,” Yaksha explained.

She couldn’t help but feel shocked by that revelation, unable to believe she’d do such things in her past life.

“Also, all memories of Sophie and the nine-tailed demon fox will be erased,” he added.

Xyla’s pupils dilated. “Why?”

“It was one of her requests because forgetting she ever existed will put everyone out of their misery. She doesn’t want anyone to live with guilt,” he replied.

Her heart ached when she heard his words.

Sophie was even kinder than an angel.

Not only had she sacrificed everything for them, but she also chose to be erased from their memories to ease their guilt.
