A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 1331: Medicated Soup

Looking at the situation now, she was afraid that even if her blood ran dry, he would still not remember what to do.

Her cold fingers clung to his wrists again as she tried to urge him again. Unexpectedly, he suddenly trembled and stirred some of the flesh near her chest, causing her to nearly faint. She glared at him but saw that he took out his claws from her chest, rolled up his sleeves, and resolutely cut his arm.

A piece of flesh fell to the ground without warning.

The wound on his arm healed very quickly. Soon, he rolled up his sleeves and pretended that nothing happened.

Xia Yingluo looked at him in shock. Before she could react, he already took the piece of flesh, stood up and walked away.

In the laboratory, Gu Jinxiu did not see that he was secretly plotting against her. She only saw a vague mix of blood and flesh and felt a wave of disgust. However, she was elated and said, “Nan, you did extremely well. You’ve finally dug out her heart.” In the large glass cage, Xia Yingluo laid in a pool of blood and looked dead.

Looking at Wei Lingnan’s expressionless face, Gu Jinxiu smiled even more deeply.

Wei Lingnan gave the piece of flesh to a nearby worker and instructed him to make medicated soup using it.

The worker quietly took the flesh and left.

Only then did Wei Lingnan walk to Gu Jinxiu’s side, lifted his blood-stained hands and held her face. The smell of blood hit Gu Jinxiu’s nostrils. As a spoiled lady from a wealthy family, she never witnessed a sight like this before and turned her face away in disgust. “Ah Luo?” Wei Lingnan frowned. His Ah Luo was the strongest warrior in the entire universe. She made hard decisions to kill every day and did not even frown after a massacre. In fact, she had eaten countless corpses of her enemies raw before.

How could someone like Ah Luo be affected by such little blood?

Gu Jinxiu took two steps back and held her nose. However, she was afraid that Wei Lingnan would be unhappy and quickly acted normally.

“It’s probably because I haven’t been on the battlefield for a long time. I’m not used to the smell of blood now.” She forcefully explained. Even she felt that it was strange. In her dreams, she was a killing machine. Why was she acting so weak now? Could it be that human bodies were too weak and unable to withstand such gruesomeness? “Once my heart has healed, I should be better.”

Wei Lingnan suppressed the doubt in his heart and nodded.

Perhaps it was really because she had not been on the battlefield for a long time. In fact, at the very start when Ah Luo was still an innocent girl, she would cry after being bitten by a weak and small insect. Perhaps now, she was only at the weak stage in her life. It was fine. They still had an eternity to work on that slowly.

The medicated soup was prepared very quickly and brought over.

It was a thick broth that smelled delicious.

Wei Lingnan took the bowl from the worker and passed it to Gu Jinxiu. “This is Xia Yingluo’s heart. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Gu Jinxiu’s face turned a little pale. Even though it smelled as delicious as pork soup, when she remembered that it was made from a human’s heart, she felt that it was difficult to swallow. It was human flesh! She never thought that she would ever eat human flesh! “Must you really make it into soup?” She took another few steps back and forced herself not to smell its aroma. “Is there another way to make it into a pill or an injection?”

“Soup will have the best results,” Wei Lingnan said.

He did not care much about that. Since he was not human, he did not think of it as cannibalism at all. In his opinion, eating human meat was no different from eating pigs or dogs. Furthermore, the meat in the soup was not human meat. It was just a very ordinary deer heart that he ordered his staff to prepare in advance.

Although Gu Jinxiu was vicious, she still could not tolerate it. Her face turned white and she begged Wei Lingnan. “Make it an injection instead.”

Wei Lingnan looked at her suspiciously. Could it be that her Earth genes were affecting Ah Luo so much? He felt an inexplicable disappointment. Even if Ah Luo was reincarnated, was she no longer the powerful and noble queen in his memory? In fact, she might not even be a princess…

His princess was innocent and would rather die by illness than to order someone to dig another person’s heart out.

Gu Jinxiu gave him a very distant feeling.

Looking at her begging expression, Wei Lingnan could not help but be annoyed. “Ah Luo, you’re from the Skatana Planet and not a human. What exactly are you thinking about?”

This sentence made Gu Jinxiu speechless.

Wei Lingnan then added, “I have already killed the person and dug her heart out for you. If you don’t want to eat it, it doesn’t matter. I’ll discard it. The heart that has already been made into a soup cannot be made into other forms of medication. If you only wanted to see Xia Yingluo die, your goal has been achieved. You don’t have to force yourself to drink this soup.”

Only wanted to see Xia Yingluo die?

Wei Lingnan’s sudden works made Gu Jinxiu’s heart skip a beat. Why would he say something like this? Could it be that he already found out that she was never sick in the first place?!

Gu Jinxiu’s heart was in turmoil and she was truly afraid that Wei Lingnan found out that she lied to him. She gritted her teeth and resolutely said, “I’ll drink it!”

She took the big bowl, shut her eyes and drank the entire bowl of soup. The broth was delicious, but she did not dare to focus too much on the taste. It was as if blood filled her mouth and Xia Yingluo’s bloody body was still not far behind the glass wall. When Gu Jinxiu finished the last sip of the soup, she coughed a few times and had some difficulty swallowing it.

She took a deep breath and stood still. Although her face was pale, she looked at Wei Lingnan calmly.

Wei Lingnan did not make a sound. His voice was a little cold. “Are you feeling better?”

Gu Jinxiu was still overwhelmed by the shock of drinking a soup made of a human’s heart. Without thinking much, she blurted, “I’m feeling much better. My heart has been healed.”

She lifted her head to look at Wei Lingnan. “Nan, thank you. I’m really happy.” Although she had to drink a soup made of a human’s heart, as long as Xia Yingluo died, she was willing to drink another hundred bowls of the same soup!

Wei Lingnan faintly said, “I’ll take you back to your room to rest.” At this point, it was evident that Gu Jinxiu’s heart was fine from the start and she did not even need Xia Yingluo’s heart. This woman deliberately lied to him to kill Xia Yingluo to get rid of her enemy. This made him quite uncomfortable. When did Ah Luo start giving him orders with hidden agendas?

Gu Jinxiu also did not want to spend more time in this room filled with flesh and blood and followed Wei Lingnan out.

However, behind the huge glass wall, the initially “dead” Xia Yingluo moved and gradually stood up weakly from the icy lab floor.
