Chapter 1354: I Will Never Forgive You
Sensing his displeasure, Gu Jinxiu recomposed herself before speaking. “It’s ok. I accidentally cut myself when I was using my eyebrow razer.”
Wei Lingnan’s expression turned colder. “An accident? Why would you use your eyebrow razer for no reason, Ah Luo? You don’t have to cover for her.” Once he walked into the dressing room, he could tell that the atmosphere between the two of them was tense. Xia Yingluo stood arrogantly while Gu Jinxiu looked a little disoriented. He was convinced that Gu Jinxiu was bullied and could not help but feel angry.
Gu Jinxiu was very touched because Wei Lingnan always defended her.
However, she had no choice but to help Xia Yingluo cover up because she could not explain why Xia Yingluo could hurt her when she was the “Queen.” “It’s really my fault…” She weakly said. “Yingluo is pregnant with the World Tree. No matter what, it’s something very important to Skatana Planet. And even if our conflict cannot be resolved I hope to be cordial with her. That’s why I looked for her… Nan, you know that topics like beauty and makeup help girls bond. I only used the razer because I was discussing eyebrow trimming with Yingluo…”
Her voice was gentle and lingered in the air. It could really melt someone’s heart.
Wei Lingnan still looked upset. “Why are you lying?”
Gu Jinxiu’s heart skipped a beat and she looked at him frantically.
Why was he so sure that she was lying?
Wei Lingnan also looked at her. “Ah Luo, you shouldn’t let yourself be wronged like that. You became angry after seeing the gossip in the news and looked for Xia Yingluo for revenge. I can understand that. You don’t have to be afraid that I would be unhappy.” There were no giveaways in Gu Jinxiu’s speech. Someone else would have believed them. But unfortunately, she was the reincarnation of Ah Luo. Ah Luo was too proud to deal with her love rivals.
Gu Jinxiu turned pale. She suddenly recalled that the queen was extremely arrogant and became speechless.
Wei Lingnan’s line of sight turned to Xia Yingluo. “You explain.”
Xia Yingluo snorted. “Why should I?” How dare he question her like a fugitive? She was not obliged to answer him!
Wei Lingnan sneered. “Ok, so you won’t talk? I’ll explain it for you. Ah Luo looked for you, you were unhappy and used the power of the World Tree to hurt her. Xia Yingluo, how evil can you be?”
She was evil?
Xia Yingluo was stunned and did not know whether to laugh or cry at his stupidity. It turned out that he thought she used the World Tree’s power to hurt Gu Jinxiu. No wonder he couldn’t tell that she was the queen after she dealt with Gu Jinxiu twice. All this time, he thought that her power came from the World Tree inside of her!
“That’s true. So what?” She challenged.
This was fine as well since her identity would be concealed.
However, the moment he heard her confession, Wei Lingnan’s face turned as gloomy as a storm. He strode forward and choked her with one hand. “I didn’t put in so much effort to give you power for you to abuse it like that!” Did she know how precious the energy of the World Tree was?! Her pathetic amount of energy was already struggling to keep her and the World Tree alive, but she wasted it elsewhere!
He glared at her fiercely, eager to crush this reckless woman.
Xia Yingluo was almost suffocated by him. She struggled weakly in vain.
She did not dare to use her own energy because it was very different from the energy of the World Tree. Once she used it in front of Wei Lingnan, he would definitely be able to see her identity. At the same time, she did not dare to use the energy of the World Tree. As Wei Lingnan said, the energy of the World Tree was too precious to be wasted elsewhere.
She could only helplessly be choked as she glared at him.
Gu Jinxiu gasped. She was afraid that something bad would happen and wanted to persuade Wei Lingnan to put Xia Yingluo down. However, when she saw Xia Yingluo’s face turn pale due to pain, she felt very satisfied. She moved her lips, but in the end, she did not say anything.
Wei Lingnan’s gloomy eyes continued to stare at Xia Yingluo. “Apologize to the queen.”
Xia Yingluo sneered. Her eyes were disdainful.
“Apologize!” Wei Lingnan demanded. The furniture in the dressing room was shaken due to the energy fluctuations caused by his anger. Bottles toppled to the floor and shattered into pieces.
However, Xia Yingluo continued to laugh coldly.
Apologize? What a joke! She was the noble Queen of Skatana and the Phoenix’s daughter. How could she lower herself?!
Wei Lingnan’s iron grip almost suffocated her to death, but she did not give in.
Wei Lingnan was irritable. “Do you think I won’t dare to kill you?” He felt that he was already giving in to her too much. The punishment for offending the queen was death. Wanting a small apology from her was already pardoning her. What exactly did she want?
“No…” She spat out clearly even though she was suffering.
She wanted to see if that man would really strangle her to death. If she was really killed by him, he would find out her identity and realize that he had just killed his queen. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
A taunting smile appeared on her lips, but she also felt a little sorrowful.
She remembered that hundreds of millions of years ago, many of the most ruthless people spoke of Wei Lingnan’s cruelty, but she never felt that and always spoke up for him whenever she could… However, now, she finally realized how cruel he was.
His gentle side was only reserved for that girl called Ah Luo, right?
Unfortunately, she was no longer the Ah Luo in his heart.
Perhaps, he never liked her and only… an illusion.
Her thoughts gradually became a little fuzzy and she felt dizzy.
Wei Lingnan stared at her with beast-like eyes. Slowly, he let go of her.
He did not really want to suffocate her to death. In fact, even though he was furious, he controlled himself at the critical point because he did not want to hurt the seed of the World Tree in her belly. If the seed sensed that her life was threatened, it would release energy for self-preservation, just like the last time in Gu Jinxiu’s bedroom. That really consumed a lot of energy, and if it were not replenished in time, the World Tree and her would be in all kinds of danger. This was another reason why he was angry. How could she waste the energy of the World Tree like that?!
Once Xia Yingluo was let go, she panted helplessly on the soft ground. Slowly, she crawled back up again.
“Wei Lingnan.” Her voice was hoarse and light. “I will never forgive you.”
These words were like feathers that landed on his heart. For some reason, they felt really heavy.
