A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return - Chapter 1433 - World Tree’s Choice
“Yingluo!” Wei Lingnan’s voice changed. He turned her head and re-transmitted energy into her body.
However, after losing blood for only a few seconds, he realized something was wrong. Instead of improving, her face became more and more gray, like a withered rose burning to ashes. Wei Lingnan was heartbroken and didn’t understand why. Even if the energy of the two could not save her, she shouldn’t be deteriorating so quickly! He examined her body subconsciously, and soon discovered the problem—
Her lower abdomen was glowing slightly, and his unique Skatana Planet vision allowed him to see the golden-green strange nets stretching in and out.
“The World Tree?” Wei Lingnan felt an ominous premonition. “The World Tree is absorbing your energy? Yingluo!”
“Cough, cough…” Xia Yingluo coughed painfully and said in a weak voice, “I, I can’t live, it’s just maximizing benefits.” The World Tree was still just a fragile seed. If the mother died, it would be difficult to survive. Just after it judged the situation, it immediately intercepted Xia Yingluo’s energy so that it could ensure it got as much nutrition as possible. After Xia Yingluo’s death, maybe it could persist until it got a new mother. It was the last hope of the Skatana, and nothing could happen to it.
If the result of the calculation was that it was better for the Skatana tribe for Xia Yingluo to survive, it would also choose to sacrifice itself to save her. But today’s situation was too bad. It was just a seed and couldn’t give her its energy, so it just had to give her up.
Wei Lingnan couldn’t accept such a result, and he ordered the World Tree. “Stop!”
But the World Tree ignored him. It raced against the clock to draw the energy from Xia Yingluo’s body. The rate of dissipation of energy in her body was too amazing. If it was not absorbed quickly, it would quickly dissipate completely.
Wei Lingnan’s eyes suddenly became murderous. One of his hands suddenly became sharp claws, and stabbed towards Xia Yingluo’s lower abdomen! “Die, let’s die together!” His sharp claws pierced Xia Yingluo’s soft abdomen like it was cutting tofu. She groaned in pain, feeling as if something bloody had left her body and had been brutally pulled out by Wei Lingnan.
“Nan…” She wanted to stop him but couldn’t help it.
If only either her or the World Tree could live, then she would give the chance of life to the World Tree.
She looked sadly at Wei Lingnan, tears oozing in her eyes. She wondered if it was because of the pain or because she had witnessed what he did. Everyone, including herself, would choose to protect the World Tree first under this situation. Only him, her Guardian, would still violate the most severe Skatana rules for her even after hundreds of millions of years. He would rather become enemies with the whole tribe than lose her.
But they all knew that the probability of saving her was very slim.
Her broken heart was slowly collapsing, and her broken pieces of meat blocked the blood. She coughed again painfully, feeling burning pain.
The World Tree’s angry screams echoed in the air. Wei Lingnan didn’t look at it, he dropped it directly on the ground and continued to concentrate on giving Xia Yingluo blood. The tears in her eyes slipped along her skin, and she wanted to tell him not to do this. So what if she could continue her life for a while more? Once his energy was exhausted, she would die.
But she was too weak to make a sound and couldn’t say a word.
The wounds on her hind heart and lower abdomen continued to bleed, and a large amount of blood spread from the mattress to the ground, filling the room. Wei Lingnan held her hand tightly, his voice dark and trembling. “Ah Luo, don’t die, Ah Luo…”
But her vision gradually blurred. She felt as if her body was fluttering and about to float.
Probably…
She was probably going to die…?
She thought vaguely like this. Scenes small and large flashed in her mind like a movie, followed by her past life on the Skatana Planet. The first time she met him and concluded the contract. When they fought side by side…
How good would it be if she could turn back time? Then, could they find a new way to live together blissfully?
The moment before she lost consciousness, she moved her lips slightly and said quietly, “Nan, I love you.”
“Ah Luo!” In the ward, his sorrowful cry echoed.
Her breath was getting colder, and he held her tightly in his arms. The blood on his wrist wound was still pressed to her mouth desperately. He didn’t care even if she couldn’t swallow at all. The blood continued spilling from her mouth, on their clothes, and on their bodies.
“Yingluo…” He refused to let go, and his body was cold for a while, caused by excessive blood loss.
In the ward, Gu Jinxiu, who had been pushed down by Xia Yingluo, didn’t die. At that moment, she looked at the scene in front of her and laughed while crying. “Ha, haha… Xia Yingluo, you bitch, you finally died… You are finally dead!” She suddenly looked at Wei Lingnan with a look of panic. “Nan, don’t give blood to that bitch again, you will die if you go on!”
Wei Lingnan turned a deaf ear to her as blood continued to pour out.
If they were going to die, then they would die together. He had come to this planet with great pains and spent so much time and energy resurrecting her, not to watch her die again. He had had enough of losing her and was afraid of enduring those long and desperate lonely nights, turning her over and over in his mind… He had no confidence in resurrecting her again and was afraid that he would go crazy before then.
They would either live together or die together.
The blood loss in his body was increasing, and Wei Lingnan only felt that his body was getting colder gradually. Soon, he lost consciousness.
The seed of the World Tree buzzed slightly.
It was very angry to witness this unprecedented scene. Today, there were only two and a half Skatana left in this world—Gu Jinxiu was counted as half, and only Xia Yingluo and Wei Lingnan could take care of it and give it hope to survive. It didn’t matter if one of them died, but if both were to die, it would not live long without care! Soon the Skatana race would really be destroyed!
The anger of the World Tree seed swept across the ward. Glass windows burst and the drip racks fell.
But this anger didn’t last long. It quickly restored its calmness, and the golden-green light overflowed like water, gradually forming a circle of mist, beautiful and charming.
Gu Jinxiu noticed its abnormality and turned to look at it. This look was as if she was fascinated by something. As if under a spell, she approached it involuntarily. She was seriously injured and was unable to walk, so she crawled a little bit towards the bloody, weird seed.
