Chapter 1353: Queen’s Proof
Xia Yingluo squinted slightly.
She didn’t expect that some people could actually turn black to white. It was obviously Wei Lingnan who pestered her. Why did she become the person who clung and pestered him? Her expression stiffened. “Gu Jinxiu, pay attention to your wording. It’s your own business that you couldn’t handle him well, it’s nothing to do with me.”
Gu Jinxiu was speechless. In fact, how could she not have known who had taken the initiative?
If Xia Yingluo was willing to be with Wei Lingnan, it was easy to suffice, she could just expose her identity. But she didn’t do it. Thus, it was obviously Wei Lingnan clinging to an old love and going to her regardless.
But how was Gu Jinxiu to accept this truth?
She looked at Xia Yingluo with hatred. “Don’t quibble. Anyway, you can’t pester him anymore. Even if he comes to you, you have to steer clear of him. Xia Yingluo, look at those photos in the news. Why are you so shameless?”
“Shameless?” Xia Yingluo sneered angrily. “Gu Jinxiu, you seem to have forgotten whose favor it was that you’re still alive today. You’re just a scumbag made from experimental waste, how dare you impersonate me? If I expose you, do you believe he won’t even give you a single glance?”
Gu Jinxiu’s expression was bad. “Xia Yingluo, don’t always use your identity to overpower people. Even if you have the energy of the Skatana Planet in your body, we’re still not much different from each other. How could you consider yourself a Queen? It’s still not certain who is the Queen!”
“I am,” Xia Yingluo said lightly.
Regarding this issue, Gu Jinxiu had been hovering around it in her heart day and night lately. She had thought about it many times. At this time, she said, “Why do you say that? Because you’re pregnant with the World Tree? Sorry, that’s just because Nan was once together with you. Even if it were me, I can also conceive. Or do you think your energy is stronger than mine? But Nan’s energy is stronger than both of us. We can’t say that he is the Queen, so, the strength of the energy doesn’t matter. I was awakened earlier than you were, I’m the queen!”
Xia Yingluo chuckled. “You overestimate yourself.”
Gu Jinxiu, “What did you say?” She was very firm in her speculation. Even if she couldn’t turn her fingers into sharp claws like Xia Yingluo, that alone couldn’t prove who the Queen was. She always felt that she had a chance.
She only concealed Xia Yingluo’s awakening from Wei Lingnan to avoid side issues from arising.
But now, Xia Yingluo’s resolute smile made her panic.
Xia Yingluo looked at her lightly. “Do you want me to show you evidence?”
“What?” Gu Jinxiu had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Xia Yingluo looked at her quietly.
Gu Jinxiu suddenly found that her body was out of control. She walked to the makeup table step by step, picked up an eyebrow trimmer on the table, and pierced her throat a little. She was terrified and tried to control her hand, but it felt like it wasn’t hers. No matter how she wanted to put down the knife, the eyebrow trimmer moved slowly but firmly towards her throat, and finally, it punctured her skin.
The icy blade was buried in her warm veins, and red blood beads slid down her neck.
Gu Jinxiu’s eyes widened in horror, and she tried to stop Xia Yingluo, but she could only make a coughing sound.
She saw that Xia Yingluo was still standing there with an indifferent expression as if she were admiring a humble ant.
Despair spread and Gu Jinxiu deeply felt how big the energy gap between her and Xia Yingluo was. This… Was this the difference between the authentic experimental body and the backup body? She wasn’t reconciled… she wasn’t!
The movement of the eyebrow trimmer into her throat stopped.
Xia Yingluo revoked her control.
Gu Jinxiu quickly threw the eyebrow trimmer away. She stroked her bleeding throat with one hand, took a few steps backward, and looked at her fearfully.
Xia Yingluo was still smirking. The arc of her beautiful lips didn’t change a little bit. “Do you know what the Queen is? The queen’s will is the will of the whole tribe. If I want you to die, you will have to die. Believe me, Wei Lingnan can’t do this manipulation even if he has more energy now than the two of us combined… He can’t order a tribe member to even pick up the slightest straw.”
This was a queen-specific ability.
The queen’s will couldn’t be disobeyed.
Gu Jinxiu was so shocked that she looked at her inconceivably. After a long time, she said dumbly, “I don’t believe it.”
Xia Yingluo was a little irritated. This woman was too difficult. How could she still not believe her?
She heard Gu Jinxiu say, “You must be lying to me. How do I know if only the Queen has such ability, or could people with high energy be able to manipulate people with weak energy? Among the three of us, my energy is the weakest, so there’s no way of verifying the truth. You must have taken advantage of this and deliberately chosen a method that I cannot verify so that I’ll believe that you’re the Queen!”
Xia Yingluo was so vexed that she wanted to hit the wall.
Was this Gu Jinxiu smart or stupid?
By her reasoning, this logic really appeared to be so!
Xia Yingluo forced herself to calm down. Calm down…
She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to choke Gu Jinxiu. Then, she said, “If you are the Queen, how could you not know whether this ability is owned by everyone in the tribe or if it’s unique to the Queen?”
Gu Jinxiu froze for a long while, and said dryly, “That’s because my memories haven’t fully awakened, you just remember a little more than me. But that doesn’t mean you are the Queen!”
Looking at Gu Jinxiu’s desperate struggling, Xia Yingluo was really intolerable.
The evidence was already in front of her and yet she still chose to turn a blind eye to it. She couldn’t really kill her so that she stopped disturbing her life, could she? However, if Gu Jinxiu was dead, Wei Lingnan would go crazy… whether it was for Gu Jinxiu’s death, or because of her identity… She also needed Gu Jinxiu to stand in front to help cover for her.
Looking at the desperate and crazy woman in front of her, Xia Yingluo was put in a spot.
The dressing room door was opened.
A loud noise sounded.
The two women in the room turned their heads and saw the long figure of Wei Lingnan at the door, wearing shirts and trousers, covering most of the red sunset. His narrow, cold eyes swept past them gently and locked on Gu Jinxiu’s neck which was still wounded with blood. He stepped forward. “How did this happen?”
“Nan!” Gu Jinxiu was extremely wronged and flung into his arms.
Xia Yingluo suppressed her uncomfortable feeling and turned her head to the side.
Wei Lingnan’s hand lightly touched Gu Jinxiu’s wound, and a faint energy glow leaked from her fingers. Soon, her bleeding wound healed, and her skin was as smooth as before, leaving no trace.
“How were you hurt?” He asked, his voice faintly murderous.
