Chapter 1417: Real Wish
His eyes were peaceful, and there was a hint of softness in his voice. “So, don’t do this in the future. The energy in the blood was originally converted without special treatment. You just put about 35 units of blood into this cup of plum juice, but even if you drink it all, you can only absorb about 27.8 units of the energy. It’s too wasteful.”
She was so angry that she wanted to throw the man down the mountain.
Of course she knew it was wasteful. The energy conversion rate of drinking blood directly was very low, so in the past, except for critical situations, he had processed the energy separately and made it into another solvent for her. But today, he wasn’t in a good situation and she didn’t have any equipment that could transform the energy at hand, so this was the best way to bleed blood directly. If she lost 35 units of energy, he could absorb 27.8 units. But who knew, he just put those energies back into her mouth. She didn’t help him and also lost 7.2 units of energy. Was… he crazy?!
She was furious and scolded again. “Wei Lingnan, you’re crazy!”
He looked down at her. The girl’s anxious cheeks glowed red slightly in the midsummer sun. He couldn’t help but reach out, caressed her long hair, and said softly, “I will take care of myself. You need to take care of your body.”
Suddenly, a series of swear words got caught in her throat, and she couldn’t say a word.
The atmosphere was a bit weird. The director there shouted to start shooting, and she hurriedly headed in the direction of the set. In the next shooting, she was absent-minded and made several mistakes. On the other hand, he was in a good state and accompanied her over and over again and patiently retook the scene. After all, she was worried about whether there was any problem with his body, but she forced herself to work hard and finish the scene.
She stayed in the mountains for a few more days until the shooting was over.
She didn’t want to attend the after-party and went straight to the city to find Xia Moyan. “Uncle, if aliens arrive on Earth, would their body have any problems? For example, feeling uncomfortable in a new environment or falling sick easily?”
Xia Moyan asked her what was wrong.
She said, “I keep thinking Wei Lingnan has been a bit abnormal lately. Like he’s concealing something.” She told him about how he had slipped unexpectedly during a shoot and how weak he looked these few days.
Xia Myan was silent for a moment and comforted her. “You are also a Skatana. You’re clearer than I am about the tribe’s physical conditions. Yingluo, you only came to find me today because you are too confused and worried. Calm down and think about it, then you will know he will be fine.”
Xia Yingluo bit her lip. She knew that he was right. She was very clear about the health of the Skatana people.
They were very powerful. They would never get sick because they were unaccustomed to a new planet. Even ordinary viruses would not infect them. For example, on Earth, what kind of flu, tuberculosis, SARS virus, etc. were all of zero threat to them. But this made it even stranger. What made Wei Lingnan so weak? Did he… deliver too much energy to her, causing him to lack energy?
As she pondered over it, she heard her uncle say, “It’s probably because he doesn’t have enough energy. He takes very good care of you.”
She glanced at her uncle.
Xia Moyan looked at her lightly. “Yingluo, admit it, he loves you very much, and you still love him. Your elder brother came to me a few days ago and told me about your future plans. I know this remote planet can’t keep you forever, and I agree with your elder brother’s statement—at least when you set off, you must be accompanied by someone you can rely on.”
“Li Shaohui has a big mouth.” She now felt like everyone except her parents knew about her plans to leave Earth. However… “Uncle, I know you and my brothers are kind. It’s such a long journey, I won’t know how to survive either if no one is with me. But… he can’t.”
“Why not?”
“He is a traitor, and one day, I will execute him with my own hands.”
Xia Moyan squinted his eyes slightly. “Really?”
“I’m the Queen,” Xia Yingluo said. In the face of the rise and fall of the entire race, her personal sentiments were too small to be worth mentioning. He was a sinner, and she was also a sinner. If it was not for the revival of the tribe, she would have already condemned him to death.
Xia Moyan looked at her for a long while. “You’re not the small Yingluo in my memory anymore.”
She smiled bitterly. “Perhaps I should thank Wei Lingnan for fulfilling one of my previous wishes—I was born in a loving and carefree family with doting parents. I don’t have to be strong, I don’t have to face life and death and fight for survival. I just have to be a pampered little princess.” But he was very cruel. He reminded her of everything, all the pain, suffering, and responsibility.
“The Li and Xia families are honored to be able to raise the Queen of Skatana,” Xia Moyan said.
Xia Yingluo smiled bitterly again. “Come on, Uncle. If you could choose, you would rather have a mundane little niece rather than this…” This what? Alien, sinner, or monster?
Her expression turned depressed. “I’m sorry.”
Xia Moyan’s voice was clear and simple as he said, “Fate cannot be decided by us. Even without you, Xiao Ling wouldn’t be able to conceive other children. Your arrival was an unexpected delight. Moreover, I am very happy that this planet has such powerful allies as the Skatana.”
Xia Yingluo’s mood was still low. “Who knows what will happen in the future?”
“The future will be as you wish.” Xia Moyan’s voice echoed in the still air, mysterious and peaceful.
Xia Yingluo looked up at him.
Xia Moyan said, “Don’t forget, you are not only the Queen of the Skatana Planet but also the daughter of the Phoenix. You are a blessed person, your wishes will come true.” He remembered that she once said that Earth was the owner of infinite potential and would certainly rise in time for the whole universe to see. Those who were blessed by such a planet would definitely have their wishes come true.
“Wishes come true?” She shook her head and whispered, “What do I want? To execute him.”
That was their only ending in the future.
Xia Moyan took two steps forward and kissed her forehead. “No, what will be fulfilled, is the real wish in your heart…”
The chandelier on the ceiling blinked on and off for a moment, like a star batting its eyes and promising that your wish would be fulfilled.
But this did not bring much comfort to Xia Yingluo.
In the promotional itinerary after the filming of , she still spoke coldly to Wei Lingnan. Sometimes it was too obvious. If she was accidentally photographed by a reporter, some supporters of Wei Lingnan would say, “What, that Xia Yingluo is so proud. She’s so rude to our Lingnan just because she’s a prestigious lady. Does she really think she’s so big!”
