Chapter 1418: Change of Schedule
Today, Wei Lingnan was very popular. He was the biopharmaceutical leader, the handsome guy who saved the world, and the s.h.i.+ning star under the camera lens… All kinds of t.i.tles attracted many people, and it surpa.s.sed Xia Yingluo’s fame.
Xia Yingluo’s fans were not to be outdone, and they yelled at each other. “What qualifications does he have to stand next to Yingluo? Originally, Yingluo and Jiang Yu were united and he just had to step in. The last marriage with Gu Jinxiu made Yingluo faint! He’s a sc.u.mbag! An a.s.shole! What’s wrong if Yingluo is rude to him? He wants to chase our Yingluo? He should see if he’s even qualified first!”
The battle between the two sides was fierce.
The popularity of Xia Yingluo and Wei Lingnan rose like a rocket.
This increased the amount of energy they collected. Wei Lingnan gave his share of energy to Xia Yingluo in the form of medicine, leaving only a little bit necessary to maintain his life activities. He still looked pale and physically weak.
On the day of the shooting for the promotional video, Xia Yingluo frowned and looked at him. “Are you alright?”
His eyes flickered slightly. “You are so concerned about me, I am very moved.”
Xia Yingluo didn’t ignore him as usual. She continued frowning and said, “Star Wars Era 2 is about to be released. There’s enough energy on my side, I can’t die. You can retain a little bit more. I don’t want to have to clean up your mess if anything happens to you.”
He smiled slightly. “Ah Luo, you always don’t mean what you say.”
She looked at him coldly. “Don’t mean what I say? You think too highly of yourself.”
He chuckled. When she was about to be really angry, he suddenly said “Yes” softly. “You can rest a.s.sured that I will take care of myself. I will leave this ghost place with you to rebuild the Skatana Planet. Even if I want to die, now is not the time.”
The topic of rebuilding the planet was that heavy.
She couldn’t help but think about after the reconstruction. As the Queen, she would have to execute him by herself. She didn’t dare to show the slightest affection to him, for fear that she would go soft-hearted and be unable to execute him.
Their fate had long been destined.
In other words, the fate of the entire Skatana had long been doomed—this was a tribe that did not believe in love.
And they were two aliens who destroyed the entire planet for their own selfish desires. They were eternal sinners and would never be forgiven.
Xia Yingluo turned her face away from him to prevent him from seeing the sadness on her face.
Wei Lingnan stepped forward and took her into her arms despite her slight struggle. The fragrance of flowers exuded on her body made him linger. “Ah Luo… I know you want to kill me. How about we make a deal?”
She said bluntly, “No one can negotiate terms with the Queen.”
He snorted in mockery. “No one can defeat the queen—I am the exception.”
Yes, on the Skatana Planet, when a princess was crowned as queen, she got more than just a t.i.tle. She also got the unmatched combat power given by the World Tree—no one could defeat the Queen, even if it was the male warrior who won the mating right after getting married. He could only wait to bleed to death under her fangs and claws on the wedding night. The queen was the symbol of this martial arts race and was invincible.
But Wei Lingnan had broken this rule.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, he was able to launch a rebellion alone and force her to commit suicide. And after rebirth, she was reincarnated and was mixed with the human race, which was still a very weak bloodline. Thus, she wasn’t Wei Lingnan’s opponent.
She glared at him with bright eyes.
He met her gaze. “Ah Luo, you know, even if the planet is rebuilt, it would not be easy for you to kill me. It’s better to make a deal with me. By then, you can execute me without resistance. Even if you count my sins in front of all the people and cut me into pieces, it would be fine. But before that, you have to marry me and be my wife.”
Her body trembled slightly. “Impossible.”
“Don’t rush to refuse it,” Wei Lingnan said with a faint temptation. “This is the best way. Otherwise, maybe in the distant future, my resistance will destroy your hard-built planet again.”
His smile was a bit evil.
She pushed him away vigorously. “I don’t accept threats. By then, I will, I will kill you with my own hands.”
After this murderous remark, she left without looking back. Her heart was beating fast. She didn’t know if she was angry or what. She buried her head and moved forward, thinking in her mind—Earth was still a growing planet, and the human potential was endless. When she returned to the wreckage of the Skatana Planet and rebuilt the planet after a long journey, Earth and humanity would have become very strong. And the human genes in her body may not be able to fight Wei Lingnan even after years of hardening and evolution.
She would not succ.u.mb to a traitor.
Her mind was chaotic. On her palm, the leaf mark of the World Tree suddenly lit up, and the golden-green light overflowed from her fingers brightly.
She stopped and stood still in an unmanned place. She spread her palms and saw that the leaf logo, which had been dim due to lack of energy, had become radiant and beautiful. In the void, a voice echoed in her heart—
[Eat him, eat him, eat him…!]
[Queen Ah Luo, I can help you eat him! He can’t resist me, no one can resist the World Tree!]
A strange agitation rose at the bottom of her heart, and she really had such an impulse. She could go back now and wrap the man in a gold-green coc.o.o.n, bind him, and then eat him. She closed her eyes suddenly and cried inside: Shut up!
The pervasive resonance in the void weakened.
[You idiot… you can’t even eat him…]
The unwilling voice of the World Tree gradually disappeared.
“Don’t think about manipulating me, be it him or you,” Xia Yingluo said coldly. “World Tree, if you dare to do anything dangerous, do you believe I’ll just have a miscarriage? Anyway, me and him can have another one in the future.”
On her palm, the light of the World Tree leaves faded, and the golden-green claws disappeared into a hazy and peaceful shadow.
There was so much confusion in her mind.
It was probably because the year didn’t pa.s.s well. Be it Wei Lingnan or the World Tree, they all found trouble and pain for her.
Xia Yingluo asked G.o.d silently, was she not the Queen? Why did she have to be so aggrieved? What annoyed her even more was what followed behind—’s producer gave her a call. He said that the movie’s schedule conflicted with a blockbuster of Imperial’s and it needed to be adjusted.
Xia Yingluo listened to him and said with a big head, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say to release it in summer?”
