Chapter 1395 - Take It and Get Lost

Her eyes were clear and cold. They were a little proud but were more alert.

The folded warship was under her pillow and was within reach. She knew that Wei Lingnan would have guessed where it was. She could only bet on whether he would take it by force. If he wanted to, she would be helpless.

Wei Lingnan looked at her for a long time. “It is safer for the battleship to be with me.”

“No.”

“Even if you hold it, you don’t have enough energy to fly out of Earth.”

“That’s my business.”

The conversation was at an impasse, and her fingers turned into claws under the quilt. If he dared to pounce on her, she wouldn’t mind giving him a scratch or two. But to her surprise, he stepped back. “Since you insist on holding it, alright. But Ah Luo, you have to promise me that you will never leave Earth without me.”

She looked at him motionlessly. “You already said, I don’t have enough energy.”

Wei Lingnan said, “I want your promise.” Although he knew very well that she couldn’t leave, this battleship incident had been too agitating for him. The moment he saw her on the battleship, he had felt heartbroken. Until now he was lingering on it and didn’t want to experience it again.

She said, “What if I don’t give it?”

“I will take it back and destroy it. In this life, we won’t leave. We’ll be trapped together on this planet until it’s completely deserted.”

“You’re crazy!”

“Just think that I’m crazy.” Wei Lingnan smiled sadly. “Ah Luo, you know I can do it.”

Yes, he was a lunatic. Even back then, many people had cursed that he was crazy. He could do anything unexpected, even if it destroyed everything indiscriminately. This terrifying trait helped them through the weakest and most difficult moments and got rid of the calculations and assassinations of other princesses and guardians. But today, he was using it against her.

Xia Yingluo looked at him fiercely. “You Skatana traitor! You haven’t destroyed your mother star enough, you even have to cut off the road of reconstruction!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sadness in Wei Lingnan’s eyes disappeared, and he returned to his usual indifference. “You probably forget, I vowed a long time ago to always be loyal to you. If the Zergs move against you, I will be the enemy of the Zerg. If the other princesses move against you, I will be the enemy of the other princesses. If the clan and the planet want to move against you, I will be the enemy of the whole clan and the planet.”

His voice was calm as if he was saying something very normal, glossing over all the bloody rain.

Xia Yingluo felt slightly suffocated and there was a hint of soreness in her heart. How could she not remember this vow? She just didn’t expect that one day he would destroy the entire planet and be indebted with great sins. “At that time, the mother star and the clan did not want to hurt me,” she said.

However, Wei Lingnan said, “Is that true? The life of the people on Skatana Planet is endless, but what about the queen? A new World Tree would be born, and a new generation of princesses would fight and compete. The one who wins would sit on the throne of the queen and the last obstacle to wipe out would be—the former queen! Ah Luo, don’t forget whose blood you stepped on to become queen!”

She could not refute that this was the fate of all the queens and the fate of the people of Skatana.

Skatana only had the strongest people. If she was strong enough, she would take over the position of the queen; if she was not strong enough and was killed by the former queen, it only meant that she wasn’t qualified to become queen, and the World Tree would conceive a new batch of princesses until one of them could kill the former queen.

This was how the Skatana people ensured that one generation was stronger than the other.

This was the law of their race and could not be violated.

But today, on Earth far from her fragmented mother star, her guardian looked at her and said, “If the clan and the planet are going to move against you, I will be the enemy of the whole clan and the whole planet.” She suddenly understood that when he ventured to rebel back then, he didn’t just want to possess her. He was afraid that a new princess would be born and kill her after several years.

She suddenly turned her head to prevent him from seeing her fragile look.

The back of his hand was slightly warm, and he reached out and gently held her. “I’m already a sinner. You’re right, I’m a traitor. I don’t care about the life or death of the Skatana people, or whether you can rebuild our home. I only care about you.”

Affection for the mother star was the nature engraved in the bones of each tribe member, but his love for her transcended nature.

When she was not in danger, he would guard his mother star with all his might, but once she was involved, he would not hesitate to fight against the world.

“So, swear to me, Ah Luo. Swear that you will never leave me, or I would rather destroy the warship immediately.”

“You lunatic...” she said weakly.

“I’ll give you three seconds,” he said, “don’t blame me for snatching it from you. Three, two...”

“I swear.” She really didn’t know how to fight with this lunatic. To save the warship, she had to compromise with him. “I swear that I will never leave Earth without you. If I violate this vow, I will die a horrible death...”

“Shut up.” He stopped her suddenly. “Don’t swear on your own life.”

She froze, then looked at him sternly. “What’s the matter, Mr. Wei, why do you have so many requests? If you want me to swear on my family, I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.” She was now glad that the covenant power on Earth was too weak to make her make a vow that was harmful to the Skatana Planet or to the tribe. Otherwise, she was certain that Wei Lingnan would ask her to make a condition with the Skatana Planet.

“Use me as an oath condition,” he said.

“What?” She was stunned again.

“Use me.” He repeated and copied her by giving a smile. “If you leave behind my back, then the day you leave is the day my soul disappears!”

“You!” She didn’t expect that he would say these words. “You are sick! You lived till today after so much difficulty, but you want to die?!”

“Just take it that I’m sick.” He suddenly felt tired. “Ah Luo, I know you hate me. If you leave me, the world without you is no different to me than being dead.”

The room was silent, and his words pierced her heart like a needle.

After a long time, she reached out and pulled out the folded battleship from under the pillow and threw it to his face. “Take it and get lost!”

The icy battleship smashed into his face and he bled. But he didn’t mind and caught the battleship. He couldn’t help but smile—it turned out his Ah Luo hadn’t completely abandoned him yet. In her heart, he was more important than the battleship, after all.

He bowed deeply, saluting respectfully in her angry eyes. “Yes.”

Then, he stood up and left her room.
