A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1330

Xia Yingluo stop talking. Her eyes taunted him.

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a long time before Wei Lingnan slowly retracted his claws.

Xia Yingluo seemed to know that he would do that a long time ago. She snickered like a mischievous goblin. In the moonlight, the bloodstains on her white skin were like cinnabar. Without a care, she took off her lace pajamas in front of Wei Lingnan, exposing her slender and graceful body. She then turned her back and flipped through her luxurious walk-in closet. Very quickly, she found the same silk pajamas that she wore when she fled this morning.

Luckily, she had the habit of buying two sets of the same clothing at once.

When Xia Yingluo changed into that set of pajamas, she found an eyebrow pencil on the dressing table and ripped a piece of paper to write something down.

Looking at her movements, Wei Lingnan's breath tightened slightly.

It was only a few hours since she escaped the lab, but she seemed so different. She became more arrogant, daring and fearless. It seemed that she was no longer afraid of him anymore.

How could this be?

His eyes darkened as they followed her body.

After Xia Yingluo was done writing her note, she got up and said to Wei Lingnan, "Let's go."

"Go where?" Wei Lingnan instinctively asked. He then thought about the note she wrote that he snuck a peek at. It was a message for her family that she went back to the Wei Corporation Underground Base and if she were not back in 10 hours, she hoped that her family members would send someone to kill Gu Jinxiu. "Why?" He realized that he could not comprehend her. It was difficult for her to escape, so why would she go back voluntarily?

"Why are you so full of nonsense?" Xia Yingluo was annoyed. This person became stupider after arriving on Earth. He never questioned her orders before, but now she had to explain them line by line. "That's because I don't like to be dragged into your problems with Gu Jinxin and I'd rather resolve everything at once. Wei Lingnan, tell her to go to the base and I will show you whether her heart problem is real or fake."

Wei Lingnan stood still.

"Move!" Xia Yingluo was getting more impatient.

"Whether it is real or fake," he slowly said, "she will still be my queen."

Xia Yingluo almost spat blood out. She really wanted to tell him that his queen was about to explode in rage because of him. Suppressing her anger, she smiled coldly. "That's why even though she makes no sense, you have to rip out my heart for her? Let me tell you, I'm not someone who's easy to mess with. If you really succeed, just wait for her to die in an explosion!"

Wei Lingnan did not dare to take any risks.

Although he believed that the Xia Family had not defeated him before, a fight might cause him to perish with them.

For the sake of today's plan, he really had to do what Xia Yingluo said. He could only verify if Gu Jinxiu was pretending to be ill. If she were pretending, it would be a cause for celebration. He would not need to worry about risking his life to rip out Xia Yingluo's heart. "Let's go." He made up his mind and took her to the Wei Corporation Base.

The Wei Corporation Base looked the same as always. It seemed like her escape had no impact on it at all.

However, when Xia Yingluo entered it, she sharply noticed that the alarms were doubled and there were more surveillance cameras.

"This time, it won't be that easy for you to escape." Sensing that she noticed the changes, Wei Lingnan bluntly said.

Xia Yingluo sneered and did not reply. Before she was awakened, the security was truly impenetrable, but now, she could enter this place easily without anyone noticing. She walked into the laboratory that she was held captive and pointed for Wei Lingnan to put her in shackles.

Wei Lingnan retrieved a new pair of shackles for her and said coldly, "I couldn't find the remnants of the previous pair."

"Can't I bring them home as a souvenir?" Xia Yingluo flippantly said.

The shackles in the past were shattered by her powers. She would be stupid not to destroy them.

Wei Lingnan's expression was dark again and he did not respond. After checking that she was locked up tightly with the new shackles, he got out of the laboratory.

It was less than 24 hours since she escaped and the workers in the base did not know that she had silently returned. They only treated her as though she had never left.

Wei Lingnan brought Gu Jinxiu in and warmly told her, "After a few tests, we found that Xia Yingluo's body has reached optimal condition. We can now dig out her heart to create the medicine for you."

Behind the large transparent glass wall, Gu Jinxiu looked at the pathetic Xia Yingluo chained to the ground and let out a thin smile. "That's great! Although I can't bear to do this, Xia Yingluo, I'm really thankful for your sacrifice and will remember all that you've done for me."

Xia Yingluo really wanted to rush up and rip her mouth to shreds.

How dare this imposter cry crocodile tears!

However, it was her fault for disguising herself as a dying experiment subject. Thus, she could only weakly lie on the ground and breathe heavily.

Wei Lingnan opened the laboratory door, turned his back to Gu Jinxiu and crouched in front of her. His fingers turned into claws. The moment he was about to pierce her chest, he saw the scar on her white skin that he caused with his cigarette bud. Suddenly, his sharp claws hovered in midair and he could not carry on.

From an angle invisible to Gu Jinxiu, Xia Yingluo gave him a satirical smile.

Without warning, she lifted her hand and grabbed his wrist.

His claws pierced through her chest. Fresh blood poured out like a fountain, staining her body, shirt, and the floor.

The feeling of being impaled by icy claws was very painful. Xia Yingluo could feel it by just having his claws less than an inch away from her beating heart. She shuddered at the thought of it. However, she did not panic. Even if her lips turned white, her expression was firm and looked at him quietly.

However, Wei Lingnan stood rooted to the ground after piercing her chest.

He was really afraid that he would really hurt her heart if he moved an inch.

It was strange. Just a few hours ago, he was determined to kill her, but when his claws really pierced her, his first reaction was fear.

He was afraid that she would really be in danger.

His mind was in a mess. Her apathetic eyes were like the eyes which were imprinted deep in his heart billions of years ago. "Ah Luo…" His lips quivered as he whispered softly without anyone else hearing him. Why did she resemble his Ah Luo so much? Why did she resemble her even more than Gu Jinxiu who was her reincarnation? He did not even sense the slightest resemblance of the noble queen from Gu Jinxiu, but when he saw Xia Yingluo, even the slightest glance would give him an overwhelming feeling.

Wei Lingnan's thoughts were chaotic and he did not notice that Xia Yingluo was impatiently urging him with her expression.

This time, Xia Yingluo lost a lot of blood. She almost fainted due to the pain. Seeing that he was still staring at her blankly instead of proceeding with the next step, she almost wanted to slap him. According to their plan, the next step would be to dig out a piece of flesh near her heart and pretend that it was her heart.
