Chapter 1241: Freedom and Contract
Behind the two was a young man with wheat-colored skin and mixed-race traits.
Then, more people appeared behind them.
At the exit, Wei Shaoyin was already impatiently waiting for them. “Xiao Ling, Li Lei, why are you so late? Yingluo that silly girl has been caught by my little uncle again.”
The person who came out was Li Lei, the current patriarch of the Li family, as well as his wife, Xia Ling, a super queen. The young man behind him was Li Rui, the second son of the Li family. Xia Ling opened her mouth first. She didn’t care about the rain on her body and asked, “What do you mean by again? Wei Lingnan caught her twice?”
Wei Shaoyin simply wanted to curse. “Is your daughter stupid? She ran out and then went back again, was she looking for death?” He told them what happened on the stormy night in a nutshell.
Xia Ling listened with anxiety and exchanged a glance with Li Lei.
Li Lei’s expression was not very good. Did she have an affection for that mysterious man? This was the result they least wanted to see.
Li Lei’s voice seemed very decisive in the storm. “The rescue expert team has been contacted and the intelligence personnel is already in place. We will immediately call everyone to concentrate on the secret meeting room. We’ll now formulate a rescue plan.” He turned and calmed his wife down. “Don’t worry, Yingluo will be fine.”
His words calmed Xia Ling’s heart down more or less.
No matter what happened, this man would always be her backbone.
Li Lei strode out of the exit, and she, Li Rui and Wei Shaoyin closely followed.
Wei Family Biopharmaceutical underground base.
Xia Yingluo knew nothing about what was happening on the ground. Under the strict supervision of Wei Lingnan, she couldn’t even go out of the small bungalow. She was sullen and even ignored Wei Lingnan, but Wei Lingnan was surprisingly good to her. No matter how sullen she was, he wasn’t angry. He was gentle and patient and pampered her with food and clothing.
Xia Yingluo felt like she was punching on a marshmallow. She couldn’t find a focus point to injure.
She dreamt at night again.
She dreamt of the night in the thunderstorm. Some ferocious beast lying in the darkness pressed her down, and she turned into a ferocious beast herself. The dream was chaotic and suddenly changed to the Skatana planet. She saw the deep and shallow purple cracked earth, a bloody beast was guarding a little girl, and in all directions were countless monsters and zerg.
The beast was fighting with his life, and the little girl was crying and telling him to leave—
[Nan, run away, run away, leave me alone and don’t die here with me. I don’t want you anymore, I don’t want you to be my guardian, run far away, do you hear? I will release you, run away! ]
The beast ignored her words. His body was bitten off by the Zerg, and he still stood guard in front of the little girl.
A sky of blood appeared in front of her eyes.
The little girl’s tears blurred her eyes, and she lowered her head to bite her wrist, and blood ran out. [I release you, I release you!] She cried out, [Go! go!] The guardian contract was a blood deed. If the princess voluntarily drained her whole body’s blood, she could use her life to free the guardian. From ancient times to the present, she was the first princess to do so.
The fierce beast in the fierce battle turned back abruptly, disregarding the attack behind him, and issued a sad long cry.
The sorrow echoed in the dark purple suppressed world, moving anyone who heard it.
The girl cried, [We’ll all die if you don’t leave. Weren’t you unwilling to be my guardian from the beginning? Now you’re free. Just go, Nan…] she said this with her mouth, but her eyes were still full of longing.
She closed her eyes, unwilling to see the back of his departure.
But the beast did not leave.
The little girl felt a little warmness and a little stinging on her wrist. He was using his barbed tongue to lick her gently, trying in vain to stop the blood from leaving her.
Her eyes reopened in surprise. Why didn’t it go?
Then she saw his body sway. A Zerg had bitten his back fiercely, and warm blood spilled on her face like a waterfall. Her heart seemed to stop beating, and after a moment, she cried in a heartbreaking sound, [Nan!] Then she pressed her wound in a hurry. [Don’t worry about me, you go and fight! You have to live, you have to live, we’ll leave here together!]
Since it was unwilling to leave, she couldn’t cancel the contract. That would reduce its combat effectiveness, and the two could only be trapped here. Live… they had to live together…
This had been their only wish in the bloody years.
In her dream, Xia Yingluo was full of tears.
She wanted to reach out and touch the scarred beast, but she had no substance in her dream.
When she woke up, the thin morning light broke through the clouds and sprinkled in. It was another day.
She put on her clothes and stood up. Then, she walked out of the bedroom after washing. In the small flower hall full of sunshine, the lone figure of Wei Lingnan stood beside a galvanized ironstone vessel. His figure intertwined with light and shadow, and his ice-sculpted side face was breathtaking.
Noticing her, he turned. “You’re awake?”
Wasn’t that a given? Xia Yingluo was unhappy because of her nightmare last night and she didn’t have a good expression.
Wei Lingnan didn’t care. “Wei Shaoyin is here and wants to see you.”
She looked up in surprise. Wei Shaoyin? “You didn’t lock him up and torture him?” She had thought that since Wei Shaoyin had helped her escape, Wei Lingnan would never let him go.
Wei Lingnan said, “What kind of person do you think of me?”
A pervert.
Xia Yingluo replied silently in her heart. She suppressed the urge and finally didn’t say it out loud.
Wei Lingnan’s voice was faint. “Your parents want to rescue you, they’re talking to me about the conditions and he’s just a messenger.” If it was not for this special relationship, he would have taken revenge on Wei Shaoyin. “However, if it happens a second time, I promise you he’ll suffer.”
Xia Yingluo ignored the threat in the second half of his sentence and asked in surprise, “My parents are talking to you about the conditions?”
“Do you want to see them?” Wei Lingnan asked.
Xia Yingluo nodded desperately, her pair of beautiful eyes flickering.
“Dream on,” Wei Lingnan said.
As a result, Xia Yingluo’s face collapsed. This man was too much. Why did he make her want to punch him so badly? However, it was still good news to be able to see Wei Shaoyin. Xia Yingluo quickly changed into her coat and went to the meeting room to meet him. She saw Wei Shaoyin sitting on the sofa by the window in the reception room, holding a cup of coffee in his hand which he didn’t drink.
“Are you okay?” This was his first words when he saw Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo nodded.
“Did that pervert punish you or bully you?” This was the problem he was most worried about, as well as the problem that Li Lei and Xia Ling were most worried about. They had asked him to meet her and make sure she was alright.
