Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2029

"The children possess strong spiritual energy. Not only can it protect them, but it also protects their mother. Xyla was probably fine because of this," Yaksha explained. Sharon Lindt felt even more confused. "What spiritual energy? Is this from a fantasy novel?"

She found all this hard to believe. She even suspected Yaksha might be a quack, but she had to admit that what happened to her grandchildren seemed mystical.

The things Yaksha said made some sense, but could the things in fantasy novels be true in real life?

She couldn't quite believe it.

Stanley Batton didn't say anything. Instead, he silently listened to Yaksha, who was now focused on explaining his views to Sharon.

"Yes, it's spiritual energy. Look, these aren't ordinary children. They have their own spiritual energy, but it was dormant inside their mother's womb. They weren't as strong as they are now, and that's why they couldn't completely protect themselves against the poison.

"Hence, they were born prematurely," he added.

"This-this is truly unbelievable. What happens to people with spiritual energy? Will they become saints?" Sharon asked.

"Yes."

Her eyes went wide. "Are you serious? You aren't lying?"

Stanley glanced at his mother. "He's speaking the truth. Listen to what he has to say first, and I'll explain the details to you later."

Taking a deep breath to remain calm, Sharon merely nodded as she waited for Yaksha to shed some light on this entire situation. Whatever she'd heard so far left her in awe, and she was curious to replace out

more.

Her grandchildren had some spiritual energy that could even be cultivated and lead them to become saints. Wasn't that impressive?

Everything she'd found out and encountered today was beyond her understanding, so it could only be explained by mystical knowledge.

Yaksha began to speak again. "Everything I say is true. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me.

"Judging from Xyla's bloodshot eyes and the size of the cyst, there's already a lot of poison inside her body. Logically speaking, she could've died after giving birth to her babies prematurely.

"However, she was lucky her children possessed spiritual energy that protected them, but it also protected Xyla as well.

"If they had not been inside her womb with very low levels of spiritual energy, Xyla might have been able to deliver her babies at full term," he explained.

Right then, Sharon had an even more surprised expression.

Her grandchildren were impressive. Not only were they able to protect themselves, but they were even able to protect their mother.

"Are my grandchildren this powerful? It's unbelievable! I can't believe it, but I have to. I'm sure the demon must not be an ordinary demon to use this kind of poison. How did Xyla become associated with a demon?" she asked.

"I'll let Stanley explain these things to you. I can't say more," Yaksha replied. "Now, Stanley, you must do as I say."

"All right, please go ahead," Stanley responded.

"In this bag, there are pills for postpartum recovery. Take one each time for three times a day. You must ensure that Xyla takes them accordingly.

"Same goes for the root vegetables.

You must clean them before boiling them in water. Use ten grams of the red ones, ten grams of the black ones, and five grams of the brown ones Make sure to follow that

exactly, do you understand?"

Stanley nodded. "Yeah, I've got it. Since Xyla was poisoned, do we need a cure for that?"

"Yeah, do we need a cure? What about the children?" Sharon asked eagerly.

"Yes, I'll give you the antidote tomorrow. She'll be fine after taking it. Also, avoid this stuff in the future," Yaksha said.

"I'm really curious about who would poison Xyla," Sharon wondered out loud.

Hearing that, Stanley frowned before looking at Yaksha. "My father-in-law passed away today. I suspect his death is related to this, too. Would you like to have a look?"

Xyla Quest and Jeremy Quest were both affected. He couldn't help but replace Betty Starmount's sudden arrival somewhat suspicious.

"What?" Yaksha exclaimed in shock. "Okay, where is your father-in-law?"

Right then, Xyla's eyes suddenly flew open upon hearing what her husband just said.

"What do you mean? What happened to my father? Did he pass away?"

Xyla felt as if she was in a dream, unable to believe that any of it was real. She could feel as if her heart was breaking into pieces.

She could see her children in Sharon's arms, but she could only stare at Stanley in shock and not worry about them just yet. Stanley frowned deeply, wanting to speak but feeling a little panicked. He didn't know how to explain this to Xyla.

He didn't expect her to wake up so soon as his mother had said it would take longer.

Sharon quickly carried the children over to Xyla, placing them by her side. "Xyla, these are your children. Look, they're back."

"And...you heard wrongly. Your father is fine. He's on his way to visit your children," she assured her.

However, Xyla continued to stare at Stanley, waiting for him to speak as tears began streaming down her face.

Xyla felt like she was about to go mad.

She had been through so much since the night before.

Stanley contemplated for a few seconds before sighing deeply. "Your father passed away. We still need to investigate what exactly caused his death." Sharon broke down and cried when she heard this.

She frowned deeply and took a seat

next to Xyla. "This is what happened. Your children went missing today, and you were devastated, so panicked. That's why I called Jeremy to tell him about what happened."
