Chapter 1379: Return to the City

The wind blowing in the mountains rustled the leaves between the two.

Since things had already come to this, there was no point denying it anymore. Xia Yingluo sneered. “So what if I am?”

Wei Lingnan’s voice trembled. “Ah Luo, it’s really you…”

Xia Yingluo stepped back, avoiding his outstretched hand in disgust. “Don’t touch me. Get out.”

Still, she only had that sentence.

This was her purpose in simply acknowledging her ident.i.ty. If she didn’t recognize it, Wei Lingnan would always be entangled. But once she acknowledged it, she could order him with the queen’s ident.i.ty. According to the stark level of the Skatana Planet, he must obey her.

But Wei Lingnan did not obey her.

He stayed still kneeling. He looked up and begged with a hoa.r.s.e voice. “Ah Luo, forgive me…”

“What you did is unforgivable.” She showed no mercy and was happy to see the injured look on his face. “When Gu Jinxiu was the Queen, you followed Gu Jinxiu. Now that I am the Queen, you’re chasing me. What if one day you think I’m not the queen? Would you hurt me again like in the laboratory after the wedding was interrupted that day?” She coughed a few times as she talked. Her illness was beginning to recover, but she was too weak.

Wei Lingnan quickly pleaded. “Lab? I didn’t hurt you, Ah Luo. I was saving you!”

Her gaze was cold as ice. “Liar.”

After being betrayed by him again and again, she could no longer trust him. All she could believe was her own body.

The physical pain told her she had been attacked by outsiders during her coma.

“I really didn’t!” Wei Lingnan was anxious, but he couldn’t argue. His fingers clenched into fists on his side and he released them. He knew very well that the situation today was brought upon by himself. He had betrayed Ah Luo’s love and trust again and again.

“Ah Luo, give me a chance to make it up to you,” he whispered.

“I already told you to get lost,” Xia Yingluo said mercilessly. “What nonsense are you still spewing? Are you not getting out? Fine.”

She sneered and stopped speaking. She stared at Wei Lingnan kneeling on the ground. Wei Lingnan felt a huge invisible pressure making him stand up subconsciously, carrying his legs downhill uncontrollably.

The queen’s will.

He knew exactly what that was. Only the Queen had the ability to control every tribe member to do anything she wanted.

After breaking into the Xia family’s territory with great pains, he was unwilling to leave just like that. How could he leave without getting her forgiveness? He controlled himself and used his own will to fight the Queen’s will. He was confident that he could escape the influence of the Queen’s will. Many years ago at the Skatana Planet, he had been astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful and even successfully defeated the Queen in the last battle.

This time, he would be able to do it again.

Xia Yingluo felt a huge force against her, and she urged her power even harder to suppress it. She felt something sweet in her throat and spit out blood unknowingly.

Wei Lingnan was shocked. She was recovering from the serious illness and was still very weak, why was she fighting with her life?

“Ah Luo, you…” He stepped forward in concern, trying to find out her injuries.

“Get lost!” She almost roared with her life in anger. Blood flowed from the corners of her lips, and the cold wind on the mountain blew against her, causing her to teeter unstably.

Wei Lingnan dare not make trouble. So what if he could fight her? He didn’t want her to be hurt again. “Don’t do this, I’ll go now,” he said sadly. He retracted his resistance, turned and walked down the mountain step by step.

Xia Yingluo also regained her strength. She stared blankly at his back as he walked further and further down the mountain path, and her chest became stuffy.

She just wanted to stop him and throw herself into his arms.

When she was at the Skatana Planet, many restrictions made her dare not show her love for him. And even here, they had all kinds of unpleasantness happen between them… how could she be together with the person who had hurt her so many times?

Feeling sad, she forced herself to stop thinking and walked down the mountain path to her place of residence.

She encountered Xia Moyan halfway.

The first sentence the cold white man said when she saw her was, “Yingluo, are you all right? I was looking for you.”

“Looking for me?” She wondered.

“The defense system in the clan was attacked by external forces just now. I guessed that Wei Lingnan came in, so I hurried to find you,” Xia Moyan said as he looked at her. “Looks like you have already met him?”

She nodded glumly. “He’s gone, don’t worry.”

She didn’t want to say more and continued walking forward slowly.

Xia Moyan accompanied her. “He knows who you are?” Only for this reason would he risk his life and break-in.

“Yes.”

“You drove him away?”

“Yes.”

“Yingluo, what are your plans for the future?” Xia Moyan was a little worried.

Xia Yingluo shook her head. “Take each step and decide.” Right after she spoke, she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen. She called out suddenly and bent down.

“Yingluo!” Xia Moyan quickly supported her.

“I… it’s okay…” She resisted the severe pain, raised her pale face and said to her uncle, “I just used my energy when I was angry… Now, my body probably can’t stand it… so… it’s reacting…”

The palm of her hand held the faint imprint of the World Tree, which was almost invisible now.

Xia Moyan said with a frown and helped her up, “Let me help you go back. This won’t do, you need to replenish energy as soon as possible. I’ll send you back to City S tomorrow. We can still catch up with the ‘Star Wars Era’ promotion.” Her energy mainly came from popularity, so as long as she frequently appeared in the media, she could be supplemented.

Xia Yingluo did not object.

At night, she took a good rest and boarded a private jet back to City S the next day.

The plane landed on the tarmac of the Li family’s house. Xia Ling and Li Lei returned with her. Li Shaohui and Li Rui greeted them under the plane, and Li Rui was holding a half-sleeping little leopard in his hands.

“Let’s go, Second Brother will bring you out for a spin,” Li Rui said. “Tan Ying has already released news to the media and fans that you are coming back for treatment today. Let the paparazzi look at your appearance and write a few reports. Our reporters will follow up secretly.”

She was too short of energy and time was tight, so she couldn’t afford to delay it longer.

She nodded in agreement with her brother’s plan. The makeup and clothes were ready, and she took a break and got into Li Rui’s car.

Li Rui hummed a song and drove the car onto the scenic S City’s road. Xia Yingluo was in low spirits, so Li Rui had to find things to say. “These days when you were away, there were a lot of rumors outside, but fortunately, Tan Ying’s efforts helped to suppress them. The reason why you fainted was explained as hypoglycemia, and it had nothing to do with the explosion.”

She remembered the wedding that day. “Hypoglycemia? The outside world believed this?”

“Some people didn’t believe it. They said that you fainted from the huge blow of seeing Wei Lingnan and Gu Jinxiu getting married. But Tan Ying’s public relations skills are very high. Those who maliciously speculated on you were scolded by your fans and pa.s.sers-by with justice.”
