Chapter 1373: Survive
Not long ago, the wedding scene had been luxurious and romantic. But at this time, it was torn down like the ruins of war.
Wei Lingnan didn’t even have time to look at the wreckage. He lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. He didn’t even know if she was alive, but he urged his remaining energy. Energy was stored in his blood, but he had just been bitten by her for a long time and too much of it was lost. At this time, it was urged several times before a faint white light appeared. The air was distorted like a crack in the s.p.a.ce. Their figures gradually blurred and disappeared.
“Mr. Wei!”
An old man cried out in the underground laboratory at the Wei family’s base.
In the originally closed and empty laboratory, the air was distorted like the wedding scene. Wei Lingnan fell to the cold metal ground with the girl in his arms. His face was pale and b.l.o.o.d.y, and her situation was even worse. Her eyes were closed tightly and he didn’t know if she was breathing. The old man quickly greeted. “Mr. Wei, what’s wrong with you? Did you teleport back instantly?”
Teleportation was very energy-intensive. Not to mention that he was still injured and carrying a person, the difficulty increased geometrically.
Wei Lingnan was too weak to speak and did not answer the old man. He got up from the ground with difficulty, hugged Xia Yingluo, and carried her to the bed in the laboratory. His strength was already insufficient, and he could not get her to bed even after trying several times. The old man on the side hurried forward to help. As his wrinkled hand touched the girl’s skin, he was astonished—
It was so hot!
Although she looked dead, her skin was hot, like magma boiling, and he almost threw her away in reflex! Fortunately, following Ling Lingnan’s excellent qualities for many years, he restrained himself. He resisted the pain of being burnt and helped the girl to the experimental bed. His palms made a scorching sound because they could not stand the high temperature, giving off white smoke and a burnt smell.
He helped her lie down and the old man let go of his hand.
He saw that his palm was like it had been burnt by fire.
He resisted the pain and went to see Wei Lingnan. Wei Lingnan was covering the girl on the bed, and the placket on his chest was already burnt by her high temperature. His exposed skin and flesh had blood dripping continuously.
This…
Even Mr. Wei couldn’t resist this high temperature?!
The old man was amazed and looked at the girl on the bed in shock. The girl’s eyes were closed and she seemed to be out of breath, but her skin was pale and intact from the outside, and there was a faint turquoise gray sheen on her face.
What exactly was going on?
He was still speculating when Wei Lingnan said softly, his voice sounding weaker than ever before, “Go get all the energy supplements, Skatana flowers, and energy potions… quick!”
The old man froze. “Sir, the new batch of Skatana flowers are still being cultivated and are not mature yet. When they are picked at this time, they will not leave seeds!” This meant that if he killed the chickens to fetch the eggs, there would be no more of it in the future.
Wei Lingnan looked up, the fierce light in his eyes breaking the old man’s heart.
He had never seen his owner look at himself with such eyes, and his legs turned to jelly. “I, I’ll go!”
He responded incoherently and crawled out of the laboratory onto the rolling belt. He took all the energy-containing potions and compounds according to Wei Lingnan’s instructions. There were actually only three flowers and six bottles of the mixture.
Wei Lingnan grabbed it before he handed it to him, unscrewed the cap of the energy potion, and poured it into Xia Yingluo’s mouth. The girl on the bed was still hot, and all the mixture was fed by him, but there was no improvement.
“Xia Yingluo, you can’t die, do you hear me!” He said fiercely, taking the Skatana flower from the petri dish, tearing it, and shoving it into her mouth. However, she was unconscious, and the broken petals were stuffed into her mouth, but she had no reaction and could not swallow at all. Wei Lingnan was irritated. He plucked the petals out of her mouth and, disregarding the dirt, he put them in his mouth and chewed. Then, he leaned down, his lips touching hers, and fed it into her mouth little by little.
Her temperature was hot and she brought a faint fragrance.
The aroma reminded him of his hometown. Under the huge lush World Tree, the little princess smiled like a silver bell.
He fed her all three of the Skatana flowers in the same way, and it took a long time to fully feed her. The high temperature on her body faded slightly, but her breathing was still extremely weak. “Yingluo…” His voice was weaker, and he stood beside her, looking grave.
“Mr. Wei…” The old man dared to open his mouth cautiously. “Your wounds… would you like to deal with it?”
There was blood on Wei Lingnan’s body, and the blood holes on his neck and the burns on his chest had not been dealt with. The blood continued to flow down, and a small puddle had already acc.u.mulated on the ground.
He had time to take care of himself now. He took the disinfected cotton b.a.l.l.s and gauze that the old man had brought in and made a simple bandage.
After bandaging, he didn’t leave her bedside and kept guard beside her.
The old man moved his lips, trying to persuade him to rest, but saw his horrible complexion and swallowed his words stiffly.
Wei Lingnan stayed with her like this and murmured, “Yingluo, you need to get better. Get better and tell me what’s going on.”
He hadn’t figured out why she had a sudden attack at the wedding banquet, and why she fell into a coma suddenly when she had been eating him. He had never heard of such a thing on the Skatana Planet. In fact, if he was on the mother star, he would have died on the wedding night and wouldn’t even be able to witness the World Tree taking shape in the queen’s body.
But was she the queen?
Was it because she wasn’t the queen, so there were all kinds of abnormalities that didn’t match the past?
Or was it because she was on Earth?
No one could say for sure.
But no matter what, he knew exactly one thing—no matter who she was, he wanted her to survive.
The moment he saw her softly pa.s.s out, his heartbeat almost stopped, for fear that she could not bear the energy of the World Tree and die. At that moment, he found that he was willing to exchange everything in life for her safety. Although it was only a momentary thought, he suddenly understood how important this girl was to himself.
It had nothing to do with the queen, nothing to do with the World Tree.
She was his treasure.
Wei Lingnan knew that he had betrayed the queen with this thought, but what could he do?
He was in love with her.
He didn’t want to compare this kind of love with his love for the queen. The priority was to let her survive, and only if she survived would there be a future. Regardless of her temperature, he held her hand tightly. “Yingluo, don’t die.”
