Chapter 1346

Xia Yingluo looked at him expressionlessly.

In reality, she also could not understand why she could harness the power of the World Tree. However, no matter what, she did not want to reveal her identity to Wei Lingnan. Since he did not love her anymore, why should she bother? “I’m not the queen,” she coldly said. “Get the hell out of here now. I will investigate the occurrence of the protective shield and give you an explanation. If you continue to stay here, don’t blame me for not telling you the truth forever.”

Wei Lingnan’s face fell. When she denied his speculations again, his heart started to sink...

When he realized that she had the power of the World Tree, he was extremely emotional and even doubted if he acknowledged the wrong queen. Could it be that the real queen wasn’t Gu Jinxiu but Xia Yingluo? Besides, Xia Yingluo’s words and expressions resembled Ah Luo, whereas Gu Jinxiu only had some power and her personality did not resemble Ah Luo’s at all.

Even though he tried his best to find some sort of resemblance of Ah Luo from Gu Jinxiu and made excuses for her, his disappointment grew with time. In fact, now he was starting to feel fear and guilt. Since when did he stop being loyal to Ah Luo? How could he think that Ah Luo was not good enough?

If Xia Yingluo was really Ah Luo, how great would that be?

However, this was just his own wish which was destroyed when she woke up.

He looked at her quietly as if he were gazing at a distant dream.

Xia Yingluo was impatient. “Get lost.”

Not only did he not leave, but he also continued to stare at her as she threw a tantrum. In his memory, Ah Luo’s temper was as bad as hers. She could skin someone alive over a disagreement. However, this feeling was so familiar and it even made him nostalgic.

Xia Yingluo became more irritable. She turned and said, “Uncle.”

Xia Moyan understood what she meant and stepped forward. “She told you to leave, so it’s time that you do. Don’t force me to take action.”

Wei Lingnan stood rooted to the ground. Suddenly, he said, “You’re pregnant.”

These few words struck everyone’s ears like a thunderbolt.

Xia Yingluo suddenly turned pale. “What?”

“You’re pregnant.” Wei Lingnan looked at her and said again. “After the union between the Queen and a male of the Skatana Planet, the Queen will get pregnant with the World Tree. You must have the seeds of the World Tree in your body. That’s why it protected you.”

Xia Yingluo suspected that she heard it wrongly. Her body shook and she instinctively touched her small abdomen.

“It’s impossible.” She mumbled to herself. “The timing is not right...” A pregnancy with the World Tree was very fast for Skatana Planet inhabitants. After the Queen married her husband, the tree would start to form on the second day and could be sensed. Even though she was entangled with Wei Lingnan a few times, it happened a few months ago and she never felt anything. Why did she suddenly feel the World Tree now?

It was really strange.

However, Wei Lingnan thought she was talking about the pregnancy time for humans.

Human women were usually able to detect whether they were pregnant within a month or two and it was a long time since anything happened between them. He said, “Pregnancy of Skatana Planet inhabitants is different from humans.”

Xia Yingluo looked at him. This time, she was a little lost.

Wei Lingnan stepped forward and took her hand.

“What are you doing?!” Xia Yingluo rebuked and shrank back her hand immediately. However, she was too weak to break away.

On the other hand, Xia Moyan and Li Lei who had been paying attention quickly pulled Wei Lingnan away. While he was being pulled away, Wei Lingnan continued to look at her. “Look at your palm.”

She spread out her palms.

Li Lei snorted. “Wei Lingnan, stop being a nuisance. Yingluo’s palm is normal and white. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Xia Yingluo lowered her head and her expression changed slightly. On her palm was a small, faint golden-green leaf which was the leaf of the World Tree. She remembered that in a legend of the Skatana Planet, after a queen ate her husband after the wedding, the world tree would appear on her palm in the form of this tiny leaf the next day.

This was invisible to the human eye.

However, she did not eat Wei Lingnan and it was long since they were entangled.

It was really... strange.

When Wei Lingnan saw her expression, he knew that she saw the leaf. “That night, I didn’t see it,” he said. That night, when he sent out his first blow, he glanced at her hand. It was white and shiny but empty.

This only happened after she woke up.

“I must investigate.” She shook as she spoke.

Xia Moyan looked at Li Lei. Li Lei nodded and warmly told his daughter. “I will make arrangements.”

This matter was too serious, and no one even knew what Xia Yingluo was pregnant with. If it was an alien lifeform that humans could not comprehend, doctors might be scared of it. After some thought, Li Lei contacted his trusted friend James and made an appointment at a well-equipped private obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the city to inspect Xia Yingluo’s body.

Wei Lingnan had to be there.

Xia Yingluo was in a mess and had no energy to argue, so she just let him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When the results were released, James said in a dignified voice, “Lei, I don’t know what’s going on with your daughter, but let me tell you, she is pregnant with a seed. A seed of a plant. It’s just unimaginable and incomprehensible!”

“A seed of a plant?” Xia Yingluo was relieved. Fortunately, it was not the most primitive form of a creature from the Skatana Planet. Something like that would definitely scare James to death.

James saw her expression. “Young lady, it seems that you’re not worried at all. What exactly is going on? Did you use your body in some sort of biological experimentation? Let me tell you, these high-tech experiments usually have huge risks. No matter what you think, I suggest that you get rid of it. Immediately!”

Xia Yingluo shook her head instinctively.

No matter how she conceived the seed of the Skatana Planet, she definitely had to give birth to it. It was her responsibility as a queen. Skatana Planet was already destroyed. To ensure the continuity of her kind, she needed to have children. In reality, this seed solved a huge problem of hers. She did not want to have any more physical contact with Wei Lingnan, even if it were for the task of having offspring.

James was shocked. “You’re crazy!”

“I’m not crazy,” Xia Yingluo said. “Thank you, Uncle James. I hope you can keep this a secret.”

“I am your father’s friend, I will keep everything secret as he asks. However, Lei...” James turned to look at Li Lei. “Do you support your daughter’s crazy decision?”
