Chapter 1240: Li Lei’s Return
Her body trembled, and her heart was in so much pain it was like a piece of it had been dug out.
She trembled again and carefully touched his body. Then, she called weakly, “Wei Lingnan…”
The man who had fallen in the puddle remained motionless as if he was dead.
She knelt down in the storm, not caring that her legs were immersed in the puddle. Trying hard, she carefully turned him over. She tried a few times without success. As she endured the burning pain and was about to flip him again, her wrist was suddenly caught.
She was startled and exclaimed. In a split second, she was already pressed on the ground covered with water in the storm, and Wei Lingnan was holding her wrist and pressing on her body.
She looked at him with beautiful eyes, her heart beating fiercely.
He… he wasn’t dead yet?!
How could it be?!
But he was alive in front of her like this, and his temperature was still high, which made her suspect that her skin in contact with his had been burned. Her sight was blurry and only a small street light above them emitted a dim halo. The rapid impact of the waterfall covered his face, and Wei Lingnan was against the light, stroking her face with one hand, looking at her with dim eyes.
Neither of them spoke.
Her heart was beating so fast it was about to explode.
Suddenly, there was another flash of lightning. This time, she really saw the dazzling white light that almost blinded her eyes momentarily hitting on his spine. Blue-violet current crackled across his body. His shirt was completely burned, revealing his black, scarred muscles. She suspected she had mistaken what she saw when his slender and lean body changed at that moment, turning into some kind of monster, like, like…
She was so horrified that her brain went blank, and she heard herself scream.
He seemed to notice something. He lowered his head and saw his originally slender and bony fingers had turned into sharp claws, and his sharp fingertips cut through her cheek, leaving a long blood mark.
He let go of the claws holding her cheek.
Without warning, he kissed her.
It was a rough, predatory kiss as if declaring possession, or refusal to back down till he died.
She was completely shocked and didn’t know how to react. Her body was numb, and she just let him kiss her. The rain distorted her vision and distorted his half-human and half-beast appearance. She felt that all this was an unreal dream, in which there were monsters…
Before long, she passed out.
When she woke up, she was in the bungalow in the family area of the underground base.
She was sleeping on the bed where she used to sleep, and the soft down was reassuring.
The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window was bright, the lake was sparkling, and the fragrance of flowers and fruits exuded in the air.
Thinking back to everything before the coma, she wondered if she had a dream. In fact, she didn’t follow Wei Shaoyin to escape at all, and everything was just her imagination?
Burning pain came from the palm of her hand.
Xia Yingluo raised her hand to see burn marks on her fair skin, as she remembered.
Her breath tightened and her body trembled again.
The bedroom door was pushed open and Wei Lingnan came in.
The man was still wearing the white shirt he liked, and his long figure seemed so elegant under the pull of the sun. He walked towards her step by step as if some kind of top predator approaching his prey.
Her body receded unknowingly.
Wei Lingnan stopped by her bed. “You’re awake.”
“Who the hell are you? Or what are you?” Xia Yingluo’s voice trembled, and she looked at him fearfully.
“You already knew, didn’t you?” His tone was calm.
“Skartana really exists in this world? Are you really an alien? Last night… everything I saw last night wasn’t a dream?” Xia Yingluo looked pale and her eyes were wide.
Wei Lingnan smiled. “Yes, you weren’t dreaming. What you saw was my original body, that is, the monster that you wanted me to show you. The original body is very energy-consuming, but it’s powerful in defense and could protect you from the lightning.” The planetary will had deliberately tried to stop him by dropping lightning on him and injuring him, but that injury was nothing to him. It only made him lose his mobility temporarily, but he was alright.
But she had come back.
When the second lightning fell, she was under him.
He was afraid that lightning would penetrate her own human figure and chop her to death, so he had turned into his original body. The original body of the Skatana tribe had the strongest combat power in the universe, including the strongest defense.
But it had consumed too much of his energy.
Xia Yingluo realized his face was pale. There wasn’t a hint of blood flowing in his face, and he looked even weaker than her. She asked, “Why are you doing this?”
Wei Lingnan said, “Are you stupid?”
She suddenly understood the meaning of his words. If it hadn’t been for her, he wouldn’t have committed such a large amount of energy. She felt that the stupidest was indeed herself. Why did she run back to see him? He was okay, after all, and by going back, she had fallen back into his claws again.
“Let me go,” she said. “I care about you, yet you treat me like this?”
Wei Lingnan looked at her with a sneer. “You have consumed so much of my energy, how about paying back some interest?”
She glared at him. “You’re shameless!”
He looked at her quietly and said, “Have a good rest.”
Looking down, a gentle kiss was placed on her forehead. In that stormy night, the moment the thunder and lightning broke down, Wei Lingnan was desperate and felt that he could never chase her back. He watched her back get farther and farther in the dark night and had felt something deep inside tearing apart. His persistence for the billions of years had seemed so ridiculous. From beginning to end, he was the only one who never forgot this relationship, and she simply didn’t care at all.
His heart had been colder than the pouring storm.
But what surprised him was that Xia Yingluo had come back.
She had been drenched in rain and panic-stricken.
The moment her fingertips touched his body, Wei Lingnan’s whole heart trembled, and unspeakable joy exploded in his heart. For the first time in hundreds of millions of years, happiness was within reach.
This time, he would never let her go.
The storm in midsummer in S City continued. A small aircraft in a suburban manor landed in the thunderous thunder. Once it landed, a few people walked off it, led by a handsome and extraordinary man. He had healthy wheat-colored skin and the contours of his facial features were as deep as carvings. Beside him, there was a beautiful and elegant woman, wearing high-end tailor-made clothing. She had on light makeup and was extremely pleasing to the eye.
