A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 1394: Guardian Contract

This villa was heavily guarded. Xia Yingluo and Li Rui flew in under the stealth function of the battleship. After getting off the battleship, they exposed their whereabouts. Xia Yingluo understood the key problem, and said to the butler with a smile, “Uncle Xie, right? I haven’t seen you for many years. My second brother and I are planning to stay here for a few days, so please clean up.”

The butler nodded. It was his honor to be able to stay with the two siblings.

When the housekeeper went away, Li Rui glanced at her. “Who said I would live here?”

“Then you can go back to the city by yourself, just don’t let Wei Lingnan know where I am.” Xia Yingluo didn’t care.

Li Rui walked beside her as the summer sun rose over the mountains. He sighed loudly. “That bastard really offended you so much that he thought you were flying out of Earth. He probably cried, right? Sinful, sinful.”

Xia Yingluo glared at him. “Would you cry for a beautiful woman just because she flew out of Earth?”

“That’s different,” Li Rui said. “He chased you for billions of years.”

Xia Yingluo snorted coldly with a slight pain in her chest. “If he really cared about me so much, he wouldn’t have treated me like that for Gu Jinxiu in the beginning.” Anxious? Of course he was anxious, but it didn’t mean he would cry. The energy in this battleship wasn’t enough to fly out of Earth, and Wei Lingnan would certainly be able to respond soon. She had only restarted the battleship to scare him.

The two settled in the cottage.

Xia Yingluo originally thought that Wei Lingnan would have to wait a few days to find out her whereabouts. But she was sleeping in the early morning the next day when she felt something heavy on her. Someone was hugging her body. When she woke in shock, she saw a man pressing tightly on her body in the morning light. From her point of view, she could only see the thin and powerful back, which made her unable to move.

“Wei Lingnan!” She smelled his scent and recognized him. “Let go!”

He remained motionless and held her tighter as if her body was to be embedded in his arms. “Ah Luo, Ah Luo…” His voice was hoarse and trembling, and his whole body was shaking slightly. “Ah Luo…”

She was made breathless and faintly heard the sound of her bones moving. She suspected that if he continued this way, he would even break her body. She couldn’t help but get angry and say fiercely, “You… let go!”

The cough caused by hypoxia seemed to alarm him, and he let go of her suddenly.

Xia Yingluo was free all of a sudden and she quickly took in big gulps of air. Before she could push him away, he grabbed her wrist and bit it. Xia Yingluo was in pain. She felt as if the aorta on her wrist was torn by the teeth of the beast, and blood spewed out, spilling onto her face immediately. Even her body and bedsheets were affected, and blood was everywhere.

She was frightened and angry and yelled, “You’re crazy!”

She used her other hand to push him, but he held tightly onto her, his teeth still clenching her injured wrist.

The blood was draining so fast that she felt like she was going to die. No way, she just robbed him of a battleship, did he need to go crazy and try to kill her? Her face turned gradually pale, and she lost her strength due to excessive blood loss. She looked at Wei Lingnan fiercely, her withered lips trembling. “I, I will not let you go even as a ghost.”

He loosened her wrist.

Xia Yingluo was faintly aware of some sort of difference. The man in front of her seemed to have some mysterious and familiar connection with her. She could feel his heartbeat, his temperature, his pulse, his breath, and his distance from her…

It was a link deep into his soul.

“You…!” She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at him inconceivably.

Wei Lingnan also looked up at her, still holding her wrist. He looked down and licked her wound that was still bleeding. They had treated each other so many times before when they were at Skatana Planet, so she calmed down and looked at him dumbly.

She didn’t know how long it was, but eventually, the wound stopped bleeding.

He looked up again. “Ah Luo.”

His voice remained hoarse.

“You don’t have to do this,” she said. He just bit her wrist and drank her blood for the Guardian Contract—just like when the little princess bit her wrist and dropped the blood on him at the Skatana Planet. Since then he had been her guardian, servant, and would never leave her in his life. There was a mysterious link between the guardian and the princess—she was now the queen. No matter where they were, how far apart they were, how many light-years they had to cross, as long as they thought about it, they could feel each other’s position and would never lose each other in the vastness of the universe ever again.

She looked at him with a complex expression. “If I die, you will die too.”

This was a side effect of the guardian contract, or a restriction on the servant’s side—if the master died, the servant could not live alone.

Although the life of the Skatana tribe was very long and almost endless, Xia Yingluo understood that she had experienced reincarnation and been reborn with a human body. In any case, she couldn’t outlive Wei Lingnan, a native of Skatana.

He was accelerating his death.

Wei Lingnan smiled, half of his face was covered with blood, making his smile look terrible. “I know there will be a third time.”

She froze. “What?”

“The first time we were under siege in the Dark Star battle, and we were about to die. You tried to cancel the contract and set me free so that I could run away alone. The second time was that day… When you blew up, you lifted my contract, so you died, but I was still alive. Ah Luo, I know there will be a third time, you are reluctant to let me accompany you to death.” He was covered with blood and looked at her tenderly.

She was stunned again. “Maybe I should have died with you at that time.” Then, all these things wouldn’t have happened, and their memories of each other could at least stop there. There would be no Gu Jinxiu and no third party.

Wei Lingnan said, “Ah Luo, you can’t bear it.”

She sneered. “I couldn’t bear it before, but I am totally for it now. If I had a third time, I wouldn’t even think about whether to cancel your contract!”

His expression darkened, and after a long time, he said, “I will accompany you to death.”

He was willing to accompany her in death. In fact, if not for the resurrection, he would have killed himself to follow her. It was just… he knew what she meant. She didn’t care about his life or death.

“Return the battleship to me,” he said.

The topic jumped a bit too fast, and she sat up in bed, calmly protecting the small cuboid below the pillow. “This is your attitude towards your Master? My Guardian.”
