Chapter 1396: Crisis Resolution

The door was closed gently, and she unknowingly walked to the window, watching his figure go further and further on the flowery path. She didn’t know what she was doing, but she turned around and opened the door before catching up with him. “Wait!”

He turned back in the flowers and the morning light. “Ah Luo?”

She was still wearing a blood-stained silk satin nightdress. Her hair flared around her, and her chest slightly undulated due to her sharp movements. She looked at him and suddenly didn’t know what to say. After a while, she said, “I’ll let the butler send you.”

A little hope in his eyes faded away.

“Ah Luo, can you send me away?”

The floral scent of summer spread between the two and unknown birds sang lightly in the forest. Her blood-stained nightdress was swayed by the breeze and stood under a bush of flowers at the end of the path, faintly fragile and at a loss.

He asked again, “Can you?”

She turned to her side. “I’m not so free.” Then, she was afraid he might have misunderstood and explained. “You have a battleship on your body, so it’ll be safer if the butler sends you away. What if the battleship is lost halfway?” She couldn’t even bear to hear this excuse by herself. With the technology of human beings today, they wouldn’t even know what the little thing Wei Lingnan had on were. So why should he worry about losing it?

“Really?” He looked down, his emotions fading. “I’ll be careful.”

He walked outward very slowly like a toddler, and she could easily hold him as long as she stepped forward a few steps. However, she didn’t step forward or speak again, so he had to walk through the corners of the path slowly, through the magnificent wood of hibiscus and hydrangea, until they could no longer see each other.

Xia Yingluo was uncomfortable and felt a sort of heavy mood that she couldn’t even identify.

She returned to her room to bathe and changed into her clean clothes. When she went down to the restaurant for breakfast, Li Rui was very excited. “Take out the battleship and show it to me later. It can be folded into a tiny cuboid, it’s too amazing. I have to examine it carefully.”

She was absentminded. “What can you even examine?”

The Skatana’s technology had developed to the current level after the efforts of many generations, and allowing Li Rui, from an uncivilized race on the edge of the universe, to study the most advanced technology in the universe, was simply tantamount to giving aircraft carriers to little babies.

Li Rui was dissatisfied. “Why are you looking down on me? Can’t you just give it to me to play with?” His eyes sparkled and he looked imploringly at his sister. “Little sister, look at how your brother has helped you and stayed by your side for so many years. Why don’t you just give me a glance? Just one glance.”

Xia Yingluo rejected him with one sentence. “I gave it to Wei Lingnan.”

“What?” Li Rui paused, not even knowing that the fork in his hand fell off. “You gave it to him? When did he come to you? Oh, what’s wrong with our alarm system? There wasn’t any response at all, how could I not know anything?!”

Xia Yingluo rubbed her forehead. Was this elder brother a husky? Why was he so vigorous and full of curiosity?

On the entire Earth, the place that could defend against Wei Lingnan was only the Xia family’s territory. There was a layered array method under The Preceptor’s magic. With the power of the planet, an alien like Wei Lingnan couldn’t easily invade. Then it was the city, the villa where she and her parents and brothers often lived. Under the joint defense of Xia Moyan and Li Lei, they arranged a lot of settings specifically for Wei Lingnan, and he could be blocked immediately.
