Chapter 1333: Alliance Ceremony
Gu Jinxiu screamed, “Why did you hit me?!”
Xia Yingluo felt that she had a considerably good temper for having not hit her to death.
She stretched out her rounded toes, and hooked back the silk nightdress that had been torn to pieces on the ground, and wrapped her back neatly with it, disregarding the bloodstains.
Wei Lingnan didn’t stop her, and his eyes moved away from her in disappointment. Just now, he could see very clearly that the wound cut from her chest by the claws was still dripping blood. She had no energy and the healing ability of the Skatana species. She was… just an ordinary human being.
What was he expecting?
Wei Lingnan thought he was crazy. Did he expect her to become Ah Luo?
How was it possible? His Ah Luo was right in front of him, it was Gu Jinxiu.
Such a perception disappointed him.
He suppressed the thought that shouldn’t be in his heart, took off his clean coat, and handed it to her. “Put it on, I’ll find someone to take you home.”
Xia Yingluo glanced at him. The man’s behavior in front of her made her feel a little scared. Fortunately, her energy had not been completely recovered, and the wound couldn’t be healed automatically. Otherwise, she would have just been exposed. It wasn’t safe to stay here for an extra second, so she took over the coat from Wei Lingnan, put it on politely, and went out.
This time, Gu Jinxiu didn’t stop her.
In fact, she couldn’t wait for Xia Yingluo to go as soon as possible. Wei Lingnan’s look at Xia Yingluo made her frightened. She didn’t want to let the two people to have any contact.
“Nan,” she said, telling Wei Lingnan to turn her attention back to her. “I lied to you this time, it’s my fault. I’ll cook for you tonight, as compensation?” The woman’s tender speech that echoed in the air could make people’s limbs go soft and their hearts agreeable. In all fairness, Gu Jinxiu was indeed a very attractive woman.
But Wei Lingnan’s irritability was even worse.
She may be a very nice woman, but his Ah Luo wasn’t.
His Ah Luo should always be high above him, arrogant and stubborn. Even if he did something wrong, she was righteous and never asked anything of others.
What went wrong?
Xia Yingluo didn’t have so much on her mind. She took the car he sent and went smoothly back home. The whole family was waiting in the living room, anxious like an ant on a hot pot. They all gathered around, all eyes looking her up and down like X-ray scans. “Yingluo, are you okay? Why didn’t you tell us before running to the Wei Family Biopharmaceutical base, you almost scared us to death.”
Xia Yingluo comforted her family. “Dad, Mom, Elder Brother and Second Brother, I’m sorry. I think I can solve it.”
“Yeah, right!” Li Rui was about to explode. “If you run away secretly again, I will break your leg!”
Xia Yingluo looked at him guiltily and shrank back to Li Lei.
Li Lei originally wanted to tell her he would break her leg and was upset that Li Rui had snatched his line. He cleared his throat and looked at her with a stern face. “Your wings have hardened, little girl. You even dared to run around randomly. I’ll deduct your pocket money for next year.”
“What? Dad!” Xia Yingluo cried.
She wasn’t afraid to face Wei Lingnan nor quarrel with Gu Jinxiu. But, but, deducting her pocket money?! Why didn’t dad just kill her directly!
Li Lei was unmoved and gave her a sharp glance. “Injured? Go deal with it, the car is ready for you. After you’re done, your uncle will take you back to the Xia family’s house.” Wei Lingnan’s jacket was still on her body. The jacket was clean, but the bloody smell couldn’t be covered, so Li Lei immediately smelled it.
His statement made everyone worry.
Xia Yingluo laughed dryly and soothed the family, entered the house, and cleaned her wounds.
The wound on her chest was small but deep, and the bones could be seen faintly, which was very scary. Xia Yingluo’s fingers stroked the wound gently, and the scene of the man stabbing her appeared in her heart. She never thought that she would be hurt by Nan, but after the rebellion on the Skatana Planet billions of years ago, nothing seemed surprising.
She took medicine and changed her clothes.
She got in the car and went with Xia Moyan to the Xia family.
Three days of rushing, another three days of preparation, and, on the seventh day, the altar was officially opened.
Xia Moyan wore a white sacrificial robe, and under the clan members’ escort, they set up a contract of alliance with her. That was the vow between Earth and the Skatana Planet. At the moment when the covenant was concluded, invisible energy fluctuations were felt. The sky was filled with rain, like a dream.
Xia Yingluo felt that there was something dark in her body that was also taken away by this shower of rain.
She understood that it was a symbol of her rejection and her health.
“Thank you,” she closed her eyes and said to the omnipresent planet will in the air.
After the ceremony ended, Xia Moyan asked her with a hint of concern, “How are you?”
Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly at him. “I’m fine. Uncle, come back to S City with me. I have a lot of knowledge about the application of the laws of the universe and various kinds of knowledge to tell you.”
Xia Moyan nodded. She had to impart knowledge to human beings as part of the covenant. However… “Why go back to S City with you? If you stay here, it’ll be safer. The Xia Family territory has been here for generations, and even Wei Lingnan can’t get in.”
Xia Yingluo said, “I can’t stay here forever, and sooner or later, I’ll have to go out and face him. He doesn’t know that I’m Ah Luo now, and Gu Jinxiu’s heart digging matter has already been made clear. He wouldn’t strike me for the time being. I want to go out and do some preparatory work, save energy, then I’ll leave Earth after a hundred years. In any case, I’ll go back to the Skatana Planet. My responsibility is there.”
Xia Moyan understood that she had to make some preparations to return to the Skatana Planet.
“What are you going to do?” He asked his niece. “What can I do for you?”
Xia Yingluo glanced at him gratefully. “I need a spaceship, but this doesn’t need to be prepared separately. Since Wei Lingnan could come to Earth over such a long distance, he must have it with him. I’ll take him with me when I go. He won’t be left to harm humanity. What needs to be prepared now is energy, and I must restore an endless lifespan to cope with endless travel.” In the coming decades, her plan would focus on gathering energy.
However, Xia Moyan was worried about another thing. “Will you take Wei Lingnan with you, then?”
Xia Yingluo nodded. “He’s very dangerous. I can’t worry about leaving him here.” The Skatana tribe was a brutal war race that could easily destroy a planet without frowning. Xia Yingluo believed the destruction of the Earth wouldn’t cause any waves in Wei Lingnan’s heart.
