Chapter 2055

The weather had changed drastically outside, turning everything dark around Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. They couldn’t even see their own hands. Xyla subconsciously wrapped her arms around Stanley’s neck. Why was this strange phenomenon taking place? Was the nine-tailed demon fox here? Stanley tightened his hold on his wife, not daring to let go as he frowned while peering around cautiously. And then everything brightened up again, causing them to squint. Right then, Xyla noticed a book and a silver hairpin on the final step of the staircase not far away from where they stood. The silver hairpin had a simple yet elegant design with a red gemstone engraved on its edge. Xyla was stunned. Meanwhile, a look of surprise also appeared across Stanley’s face as he promptly carried Xyla down the stairs before setting her down carefully. He then picked up the silver hairpin and book. The book was the classic kind of book they frequently saw in period dramas with a dark blue cover.
