1329 Lousy Lie

Sure enough, a few days later, she found out.

Xia Yingluo was disappointed. Although her metabolism speed became very slow, it was still there. In other words, her life would be longer than that of an ordinary human, but compared to Skatana inhabitants who could virtually live forever, it was terrifyingly short. In the middle of the night, she looked at the night sky that looked like a black hole wistfully. She felt a pulsation of energy coming faintly from the place that Skatana Planet was and realized that the planet was billions of light-years away. If she did not have an endless life, it was simply unreachable.

She had to solve the problem of a limited lifespan.

If the Skatana genes in her body could be further strengthened and completely devour her human genes, she could possibly have an endless lifespan too.

To achieve this goal, she needed a lot more energy.

The energy on Earth was too weak and gaining energy from ingesting food was not as fast as basking directly in the sun. However, after sunlight traveled through the thick atmosphere to reach the earth, it lost a lot of energy and the energy that reached her was very weak. At this rate, Xia Yingluo calculated that she probably needed at least 100 million years of solar energy to completely restore her Skatana genes.

She crumbled to the ground as she pondered about a solution.

No matter what, she had to find a way to restore the wreckage of Skatana Planet back to its former glory. This was her responsibility as the Queen.

However, before she could think of a way to replenish her energy, she suddenly spat out blood without warning. It was blood mixed with damaged internal organs. She stared at the horrifying sight for a few moments before remembering that the planet had a rejection mechanism. When Wei Lingnan activated the alien genes in her body, Earth could not wait to destroy her. Now, she was awakened as Queen and it was not surprising that Earth was trying harder to murder her. No, she must think of a way. She could not die like this.

Xia Yingluo looked for her uncle. "Take me back to the Xia Family and open the altar. I want to represent Skatana Planet and form an alliance with Earth."

Xia Moyan did not really understand what she meant and gave her a questioning look.

Xia Yingluo explained, "An alliance is a common form of diplomacy between different planets in the universe. It's protected by the laws of the universe and no one can violate it. Only those who are guardians of their planets are qualified to represent their respective planets. In this case, only you and I are qualified. On behalf of the Skatana Planet, I promise to protect Earth and impart all appropriate technology and knowledge to the planet. Whatever Earth wants, Skatana Planet will do its best to provide. In exchange, please do not reject my existence on Earth."

This was a good deal.

Xia Moyan very quickly saw the benefits of this deal. The inhabitants of the Skatana Planet were the most powerful race in the universe. If he could obtain their technology and knowledge, it would really help with Earth's development. Not to mention, if Earth experienced any difficulties in the future, Skatana Planet would definitely lend a helping hand. Although he knew that Skatana Planet was now in pieces, with its Queen still here and determined to rebuild her planet, in the long run, Earth would have an ally that could shatter the entire universe.

As for the price Earth had to pay? It was almost negligible. She only wanted the rejection mechanism to be removed. The rejection mechanism was implemented to protect humans from alien genes to ensure the continuity of humanity. However, since the Queen promised to leave Earth and did not intend to populate it with her race, there was no reason for Earth to reject her existence.

Whether for public or private reasons, he could not find any reason to refuse the formation of an alliance.

As such, Xia Moyan nodded. "Sure. Pack up and we will go to our family headquarters tomorrow."

Xia Yingluo smiled and no longer looked like the sophisticated Queen of Skatana. The princess-like innocence of hers was restored. "I just know that uncle is the best." She breezily told her parents about this matter, packed her things and went to sleep at night.

Suddenly, she woke up in the middle of the night.

She instinctively moved her hand that was wearing the bracelet, used it as a dagger and stealthily reached for someone's throat.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Wei Lingnan was standing beside her bed. His hand, which had turned into sharp claws, was already placed on her chest where her heart was.

There was a slight strain on her wrist. Blood started to drip from his throat.

Wei Lingnan narrowed his light-colored eyes and examined her. "Your skills have improved from the past, Yingluo."

"Don't call me Yingluo. It's disgusting." Her tone was cold.

However, Wei Lingnan acted as if he never heard her and asked, "Why? Is it because I gave you the nutrient shot? I saw the footage of you escaping my lab from the surveillance cameras. The other test subjects were afraid of you. Yingluo, you have more power than all of them. That's not logical."

"What's logical?" Xia Yingluo sneered and continued to press her bracelet against his throat. "Get lost."

His pupils contracted slightly.

In the dim moonlight, her face was exquisite and fair. Her arrogant and disdainful look resembled a girl in his memory—

How was that possible?

Ah Luo was clearly awakened and she was Gu Jinxiu, but why did he think that Xia Yingluo resembled Ah Luo so much?

"Who are you?" In a daze, he asked.

"Are you mentally retarded or have you lost your memory?" Xia Yingluo mocked. "I am your ancestor."

Wei Lingnan was speechless.

His sharp claws continued to hover over Xia Yingluo's heart. It seemed that he could pierce through her fragile, silky skin at any time.

However, Xia Yingluo was unfazed. "Get lost!" If she did not care about hiding her identity, she would not have even bothered to threaten him because she could easily use her bracelet dagger to deal with him. Although it looked like she would not be able to beat him with her recovery progress, that did not prevent the resentment in her heart from taking over.

Wei Lingnan did not leave. Instead, his voice slowly became lower. "Do you believe that I can rip out your heart right now?"

"Idiot." Xia Yingluo looked down on his intelligence. After examining her for her whole life, how could the man in front of him be so stupid? Thinking about her life, she could not help but sneer as she told him the truth. "There's nothing wrong at all with Gu Jinxiu's heart. It's all an act. Don't bother me again because I don't mind ending up like her."

"What did you do?" Wei Lingnan looked alarmed.

"Nothing much." Xia Yingluo laughed coldly. "You know that my uncle is The Preceptor. There are many fascinating things in this world, and I asked him to add something to my heart. Anyway, if Gu Jinxiu eats it… Haha…"

Without finishing her sentence, she was able to make him imagine the consequences.

Wei Lingnan tightened his grip and his sharp claws pierced her fair skin. Blood flowed out like it was flowing from his throat. "Don't think that such a lousy lie can fool me."
