Wei Lingnan gave a quiet glance at Gu Jinxiu curled up in the corner, and then looked at Xia Yingluo. “It’s dirty here, Ah Luo. Go out and rest for a while. I’ll let you in after I’ve finished cleaning.”
Xia Yingluo shook her head. “No, I want to stay with Ling’er.”
In this life, she didn’t lack friends and usually went out to play and eat good food with her friends, but she didn’t even know how many of them were only good to her because of her identity, and how many of them were actually treating her sincerely. Only Jin Ling’er was her good friend who was close to her even when they met before her identity was exposed. They’d become good friends who would never give each other up. She cherished her.
When Wei Lingnan could not persuade her, he glanced at Gu Jinxiu again coldly.
Gu Jinxiu trembled, and suddenly, a horrible thought came to her heart—Wei Lingnan. He can’t possibly be taking the opportunity to kill me, right?
Neither of them was a kind person. Gu Jinxiu was very sensitive to the murderous spirit in his eyes and was scared to death. Her brain turned uncontrollably, and she thought, What if he wants to kill me? Yes, he must want to deliberately divert Xia Yingluo away, then while Xia Yingluo is absent, he would do something and make her me unknowingly, then disguise it as an unexpected accident.
It would be seamless.
Just like how she harmed Jin Ling’er.
Gu Jinxiu’s teeth trembled, and she felt like she could almost see her future.
Xia Yingluo heard the movement and frowned at her with an unhappy glance. “Why are you so noisy? Us Skatana people are not as weak as you. You’re so scared and can’t even control yourself.” She turned and said to Wei Lingnan, “Throw this noisy and dirty woman away.”
Wei Lingnan’s lips flickered with an imperceptible smile and he walked towards Gu Jinxiu step by step.
Gu Jinxiu watched this dangerous man approaching and her heart broke. She guessed she couldn’t live till the end of today, she might as well—she might as well never rest. Even if she became a ghost, she would drag this hateful woman Xia Yingluo down!
“You, don’t come over,” Gu Jinxi said to Wei Lingnan. “I can go by myself.”
Wei Lingnan was still approaching.
“Don’t!” Gu Jinxiu screamed. “Please don’t kill me! I will go out myself! Ms. Xia, Your Majesty, please stop him, I know he will kill me! He will!”
Xia Yingluo frowned slightly, and she really called Wei Lingnan. “Stop.”
Wei Lingnan stopped obediently and turned back with an innocent look. “Ah Luo, do you believe me or her?”
Xia Yingluo looked at him. She would rather trust Gu Jinxiu in this matter. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know how deadly Wei Lingnan was. She had accidentally told him to throw Gu Jinxiu out just now. She waved her hand. “Wei Lingnan, you can wash the mop, and then mop the ground again. Gu Jinxiu, go out by yourself. Move quickly, you’re so smelly.”
After that, she looked disgusted.
Wei Lingnan went to wash the mop unwillingly.
Xia Yingluo lowered her head and continued to check on Jin Ling’er’s condition. The blue-black color on the girl’s face on the hospital bed had mostly faded away, and it was almost normal. Her originally cold body gradually recovered some temperature and got a little blood. Xia Yingluo was very relieved. She held her hand and whispered, “Ling’er, I will always be with you. You must get better soon.”
As soon as her voice fell, she felt her heart thud and a severe pain came.
Xia Yingluo took a breath, her hands turning into sharp claws by instinct, and she backhandedly attacked the person behind her. Behind her, someone snorted and fell like a ragged sack on the ground on the other side of the ward.
“Yingluo!” Near the door, in the direction of the bathroom, Wei Lingnan shouted.
Xia Yingluo’s body fell down softly, and she felt as if she was fluttering away from her consciousness and away from her body. Her Skatana instinct made her realize that her heart had been smashed. It would be a life-threatening death to the human body and there would be no chance of surviving. Fortunately, she was a Skatana. Even if she was stabbed in the heart, she still had a bit of energy to hang on, but once she lost her heart’s pulse, the energy would also flow at a rapid rate out of her. She didn’t even know how long she could hang on for. She might die in the next moment.
“Yingluo!” She heard Wei Lingnan shout heartbrokenly in her daze.
She turned her head and watched as he rushed towards her desperately, his face twisted with fear and anxiety. Not far away from him, Gu Jinxiu, like a rag, laid motionlessly, and a bloody dagger was discarded on the floor—just now, Gu Jinxiu held the dagger and pierced her heart while she was unprepared.
Gu Jinxiu closed her eyes tightly. She was wounded by the sharp claws when she was defending herself and was not safe either.
Wei Lingnan rushed to her, held up her soft body and yelled again. “Yingluo!”
Xia Yingluo looked at his face and tried to focus hard. She felt as if his face was so vague as if it was from another time and dimension. She moved her fingers with difficulty, trying to raise her hand to touch his cheek, but she was weak and helpless.
Her pale face was like broken petals, and she pulled a bitter smile that was uglier than crying. “Nan…” Instead of calling him Wei Lingnan as fiercely as in the past, she called that endearing name she had once called billions of years ago. Nan. The unforgettable person she loved deeply.
“Yingluo, hold on, you will be fine!” Wei Lingnan’s face was pale and frightened. He never expected that things would turn out like this. He was too careless and did not get rid of Gu Jinxiu in time. He even gave that woman her desperate chance to kill her.
He bit his own wrist and desperately poured blood into her mouth. “Ah Luo, drink it. I will help you repair your heart, quickly!”
She subconsciously bit his wrist, the sweet blood mixed with energy flowing into her mouth. The energy in the body rushed to the rift of the heart, but it disappeared quickly. The speed of this energy consumption was too fast, and it was so incredible that she sadly discovered the fact that even if the two of them were added together, she was afraid there was no way to save her before the energy was exhausted.
“No…” She turned her head and refused to drink his blood. “You… don’t… don’t save me, live well… live with the World Tree.” Inside, that World Tree seed was slightly radiating heat and was about to move. She and it realized at the same time that the broken heart could not be repaired. The next moment, its energy suddenly surged, forming an invisible and untouchable net in her body, intercepting all the energy that rushed to the rift of her heart!
She coughed, her face turning grey at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.
