A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

She stepped forward and snuggled gently into his arms.

Wei Lingnan’s body temperature was slightly lower than that of ordinary people, but his hard chest felt very reliable. Gu Jinxiu leaned quietly onto him and heard him ask, “Have you seen Xia Yingluo?”

Gu Jinxiu’s body froze slightly as if something unexpected had been done. However, in an instant, she naturally followed his words and said, “Yeah, how did you know, did the researchers tell you? I just went to see if she was awake. There was no other purpose, they’re really talkative.”

“You have her smell on you,” Wei Lingnan said.

Why would he need the researchers to tell him? He was so familiar with Xia Yingluo’s smell. When Gu Jinxiu just opened the door of the living room, he immediately noticed it.

Gu Jinxiu’s heart sank again, and her eyes became cold in an angle Wei Lingnan couldn’t see. Sure enough, the decision to get rid of Xia Yingluo was right. That woman occupied Nan’s mind too much, and sooner or later, she would be a scourge! She looked up at Wei Lingnan. “She’s awake, when are you going to dig her heart out for me? I’m in pain here...”

As she talked, she took Wei Lingnan’s hand and pressed it to her chest.

The young woman’s skin was smooth and full of elasticity, with an unspeakable temptation, but Wei Lingnan took his hand away.

“Nan...” Gu Jinxiu called in dissatisfaction. She was very anxious. They had been together for so many days, but Wei Lingnan had never acted against her in any way. How were there lovers like them? Not long ago, she also tried to seduce Wei Lingnan to bed and had carefully arranged a candlelight dinner and red wine, but at the most critical moment, she had been pushed away.

How could it be?!

She was very dissatisfied and called again, “Nam, do you even like me?”

Wei Lingnan lowered his eyes slightly. “How could I not like you?”

“Then why do you... never touch me?” Gu Jinxiu asked anxiously, her face flushed with distress. In any case, she was still the Gu family’s young lady. She had received a good education since she was a child, and now she dared to ask such questions in front of him.

Wei Lingnan calmed down and said, “I can’t touch you. Ah Luo, I came from the Skatana Planet, and I haven’t experienced reincarnation on Earth like you. This planet sees me as a stranger, and everyone I touch will have rejections. They will die if they don’t take the antidote in time. But I don’t have an antidote for you right now.”

Gu Jinxiu got it.

Between the light and the fire, she thought of another thing. “I got lost at the base a few days ago and went into a laboratory. The researchers there said that it was important, and didn’t even let me in. It was to cultivate the production of some rejection antidote. Nan, you have the antidote, why don’t you... ”

She was talking and suddenly stopped, her face changing drastically.

Wei Lingnan looked at her calmly. “Yes, that antidote was used by Xia Yingluo. There’s only one serving.”

Gu Jinxiu’s body shook at his confession. What did this mean? Xia Yingluo and Wei Lingnan... had already slept together?!

Jealous, anger, unwillingness...

Lots of emotions mixed together and made Gu Jinxiu’s face full of expressions. How dare she?! How was it that she couldn’t be intimate with Wei Lingnan, but that bitch could?! Gu Jinxiu couldn’t wait to rush back to the laboratory to tear Xia Yingluo apart immediately!

“My heart is so uncomfortable...” Her face turned pale and her body shook even harder as if she couldn’t stand. “Nam, kill her...”

Wei Lingnan didn’t look good, either. He was silent and helped Gu Jinxiu to bed.

“Nan!” Gu Jinxiu grabbed his hand tightly, piercing her sharp nails into his arm. “Kill her! Immediately!”

“Her body hasn’t been fully healed yet.” Wei Lingnan’s always calm and indifferent tone seemed to bring a hint of helplessness. “We must completely nourish her body and have it adjusted to the best state before we can start. Ah Luo, I will change your heart into a perfect one, without any flaws.” In fact, he had already used his energy to check on Gu Jinxiu’s body. Although her heart was damaged, it wasn’t as serious as she said. The wound wasn’t likely to be caused by Xia Yingluo, and it was more like Gu Jinxiu had used her own energy to hurt herself.

He knew faintly that Gu Jinxiu probably couldn’t stand Xia Yingluo and wanted to use this as an excuse to kill her.

However, he didn’t want to verify it.

So what if Gu Jinxiu just made an excuse to kill someone? He always listened to the Queen’s order.

More importantly, Ah Luo was from the Skatana Planet. After all, even if it was fused with human genes, it was difficult to guarantee that her heart wouldn’t really go wrong. If Gu Jinxiu wasn’t pretending, and if there was even a one in a million chance that it was true—Wei Lingnan couldn’t afford the risk.

He had to dig out Xia Yingluo’s heart.

Gu Jinxiu settled down to sleep. He left the room and walked to Xia Yingluo’s laboratory.

The cowardly girl was still curled up on the ground, motionless, and a thin layer of blood was dried on the shackled parts of her limbs.

Wei Lingnan stood in front of the huge glass wall for a long time and ordered someone to open the door. He walked in.

Xia Yingluo looked up and saw him. She suspected that she was dreaming, and then she slowly lowered her gaze.

Wei Lingnan knelt down in front of her, raised her body, and examined her breath and temperature. “Where is it uncomfortable?” He frowned and looked at her. The nutritional injections that he had given to her earlier had begun to work and were nourishing her heart. The rapid side effects that had been manifested also made her extremely distressed. However, her breathing was so disordered and her vital signs were unstable as if she would die anytime and anywhere, making him inexplicably uncomfortable.

Xia Yingluo looked at him again and sneered in difficulty. “You’re going to kill me... why still fake concern for me?”

Her voice was weak, but Wei Lingnan understood it.

He frowned imperceptibly. Did Gu Jinxiu tell her everything? He felt a little upset, he had intended to let her leave this world without knowing anything. He whispered to her, “You won’t die too painfully.” He still felt like he owed her something, but things had come to this, so what else could he do?

Xia Yingluo sneered again and was very desolate. “Do I... thank you for your generosity?”

The taunting in her tone silenced him.

After a long time, she shook her head weakly. “I was blind. I fell for the wrong person, who else is to blame?” She thought back to when she had asked him, what if she wasn’t Ah Luo? He had said that he would protect her for a lifetime. Today, their pledge of undying love still rung in her ears, but the situation was so twisted it was hilarious.
