A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

An ominous premonition enveloped Xia Ling’s whole body.

Even if she was stupid, she understood then and there what Li Feng was trying to do, and she could not stop herself from saying, “Don’t fool around, Li Feng. Don’t do something that everyone will regret!”

Li Feng turned a deaf ear to her, and stood beside her, easily holding her in one hand, the other holding onto the dagger, slashing around her beautiful and slender neck. “I heard that you are a phoenix. I specifically made the craftsman create a knife with a phoenix totem. I even embedded it with a ruby stone. Do you like it?” His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty and exhilarating light, making him look full of energy. “Very like you,” he said, licking his lips.

The disgusting and sickly expression made Xia Ling’s heart jump in her throat. However, she did not give up. “Don’t be like this, we’re all one family. We can talk it out, right? If you kill me, Li Lei will be sad!”

“He will remember me forever,” Li Feng said in a soft tone, the cold sharp tip of the knife touching her neck.

She did not dare to speak nor move.

Li Feng laughed. “You appear to be very frightened, why bother? Let me tell you how much of a beautiful thing this is—this dagger will go down your neck all the way, cut open your belly while you’re alive, and also cut the little thing in your belly in half… no, no, don’t worry, I will not cut it in half, it’ll be more interesting to dig it out whole. After digging it out completely, I will throw it into the formalin while alive in front of you, until it drowns, and you can only stare at it while bleeding out, with those beautiful eyes filled with desperation… You will then struggle and then die along with it. How perfect, it’s too perfect! Hahahahaha—!”

Crazy, he was really crazy.

Xia Ling could no longer care about the sharp knife that would cut into her throat. She opened her mouth to plead. “Don’t do this, please…”

Tiny beads of blood rolled down following her words.

Li Feng stared at her white neckline that was oozing bits of red, his gaze deepening.

He reached out a fingertip to wipe it away, bringing the fresh drop of blood to his mouth to taste, then saying with a hoarse voice, “No wonder Xiao Lei likes you so much… I like it too… This kind of blood…” He added a little more force, and more drops of blood oozed out.

Xia Ling could not bother about her pain anymore, her whole focus was on how to protect her baby and keep herself alive. Between the flint and the electricity, an inspiration suddenly dawned on her and she called out, “You think death is the most painful revenge for him?”

Li Feng was surprised, and he moved the dagger away. “Is it not?”

“Li Feng! Cough…” Her throat was hurt, making her words less fluent, yet she still said desperately, “Killing someone is the lowest practice, it’s impossible to make someone experience the maximum pain! The only way you can make him experience the greatest grief is to harm me in front of Li Lei, to let him witness the flesh-and-blood scene first-hand! To want to save me and yet be unable to, and have no choice but to watch as me and my child die in a place within his reach!”

She did not know if these words were useful to Li Feng, but she knew instinctively—Li Feng hated Li Lei!

Only this strong hate would justify him constantly finding trouble for Li Lei and trying to destroy his happiness at all costs! If that was the case… then let the hate be even more hearty!

She stared deadly at Li Feng, waiting for his reaction.

Li Feng was stunned for a while, then he murmured, “You’re right… Painful living, how could I have not thought of making Xiao Lei in so much pain he wished he never lived?” A strange smile appeared on his face, and suddenly, he was furious again. “It’s all your fault… it’s all your fault! It was you, because of you I was captured by Xiao Lei, captured by him to eat one piece of that medicine! Even though I only ate one piece before finding it strange, but how dare you! How dare you try to damage my unparalleled intelligence!”

He was furious. He put aside the dagger and slapped Xia Ling with great force. “If it was not for me having eaten that medicine, how could I have not thought of torturing you in front of him? Yes, in front of him! That’s much better than killing you in a video! Hahahahahahaha!”

He was happy and slapped Xia Ling again.

The crisp slap sound echoed in the room, and Xia Ling’s face was tilted to the side by his slaps, five finger marks appearing on her white skin. However, she could not bother about these. She stared intensely in the direction of the dagger, quickly calculating about how on earth to rescue herself!

Li Feng stared at her with a pair of snake-like eyes, his chest rising up and down. After a long while, he smiled. “I have changed my mind, I am going to keep you, and raise you… Until I have lured Xiao Lei out. When he appears in front of me and sees the living you just within his reach, I am going to slowly… slowly… dig out the little thing in your belly, letting him witness as you two die painfully… if I do that, he will definitely remember me forever, right?”

Li Feng laughed, his face arrogant and enchanting, like a dangerous blooming poppy.

Xia Ling only felt her whole body freeze up, but she breathed a sigh of relief internally. Finally, she could keep her and her baby’s lives for the moment. It was not that she wanted to bring Li Lei into this, but she understood Li Lei. Since he had already seen her being kidnapped by Li Feng, he would definitely come to rescue her! It did not make sense to have him not come.

For the sake of the present, she could only take things step by step.

She looked at the man in front of her who was laughing like a madman, moving her body carefully towards the direction of the dagger on the floor.

However, before she could reach the dagger, Li Feng grabbed her once again. “My dear little rabbit, the death penalty is unavoidable, and the living sin cannot be escaped. Don’t think that I don’t know, you only made this plan to keep yourself alive. However, I like this plan of yours… I am becoming more and more interested in you.”

His hands were cold and slippery, yet he held onto her really tightly, and no matter how fiercely she struggled she could not escape. An inexplicable fear found its way to her heart. It was strange. She knew that her life was not in any danger for now, but that sense of fear became even more intense. Her struggling agitated him, and his gaze hardened. Seemingly without any movement, he used one hand to flip her hand gently, clamping her two wrists tightly and holding it high above her head.

Xia Ling glared at him. “What are you doing?!”

He smiled, his fingers tracing along her still bleeding neck. He moved aside the cloth of her collar. “Your skin is so white… my dear little rabbit… don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, just be good and you will enjoy it…”

She suddenly realised what he was going to do. This… This beast!

“I am your brother’s wife!” She said, her voice trembling, not knowing if it was shock or anger.

“What belongs to Xiao Lei belongs to me too.” He chuckled, his hands moving quickly to unbutton her second button.

She was helpless and turned around to avoid it, but he used the weight of his whole body to press against her body. He whispered near to her ear, “Don’t waste your energy. Beware of my anger. If I become enraged and kill you in advance, then what would we tell Xiao Lei?”
