Xia Yingluo calmed down and stopped.
She knew he would be fine. The last time when she left on the warship at the Wei Family’s base, he had fallen from such a high place and had been fine. This time, he didn’t even really fall off the cliff. She looked up and watched as the staff rescued him. They brought him to the crew’s side safely.
His face was a little pale, but he was in relatively good spirits. He looked at her and smiled leisurely. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“I didn’t worry about you,” she said coldly, but involuntarily asked, “How did you slip?”
He had a deeper smile in his eyes. “My hand accidentally slipped.”
Nearby, the accompanying doctor and several assistants gathered around, busily examining him.
Xia Yingluo was separated by the crowd surrounding him, watching his mask-like smiling face. A sort of uncomfortable feeling spread in her heart. No, how could things be so simple? She knew how good Wei Lingnan’s combat skills were, and it was unlikely that such low-level mistakes as slipping would happen to him. What was he trying to hide from her?
The director on the side stepped forward and asked her, “Ms. Xia, do you want to let Mr. Wei take a break? Let’s shoot something else first?”
Xia Yingluo nodded without thinking. “Okay.”
Over there, Wei Lingnan was already done with the medical treatment. He walked over and said, “I’m fine. I just checked with the doctor and I didn’t get hurt at all. It wasn’t easy to put up this set. Let me finish it without delay.”
She ignored him and instructed the director. “Go and shoot the next scene.”
The director took a look at her and at Wei Lingnan. In the end, he could still distinguish who was the master, and he responded to her orders and went to prepare for the other scene.
Only two of them were left in the open space.
The slight smile on Wei Lingnan’s face faded, and he resumed his unpredictable mood. “Why?”
“What why?” She said in a cold voice.
“This movie affects your ability to receive energy. The sooner we are done shooting, the faster you can relax. Why should you delay it for me?”
“I don’t want you to die on the cliff. At that time, I would have to find another actor again and delay the progress,” she said blankly and turned away.
Wei Lingnan stood alone in the wind, looking at her back for a long time.
He returned to his base at night.
The deep purple artificial planet was suspended in the darkness of the underground base, and the mysterious light shone like it was breathing. He walked into the bathroom, briefly washed his body, then walked out without any care. He looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. His long body was the perfect golden ratio, and the drops of water that had not been wiped fell along his shapely and fit chest, sliding across his flat and powerful waist, winding down all the way.
Further down, however, was a pair of less pleasing legs.
Although one leg was as perfect as a sculpture, the other was morbidly gray-white, with rotten scars spreading on it.
He looked into the mirror quietly and glanced at the old man who came in silently behind him. The old man looked at him respectfully and stooped to bow to him. “Sir, you are back. Your legs… seem to have deteriorated again?”
The old man’s worried eyes fell on his almost necrotic leg. Just a few days ago, these grayish-white and necrotic scars had only been in his lower leg. Now, after a little time, it had quickly spread to his upper thigh!
“Sir, open the healing pool.” The old man begged.
Wei Lingnan said, “Don’t worry about it.” The healing pool would consume a lot of energy, which was to be converted into energy for Xia Yingluo. He didn’t want to waste energy. As for his leg? The Skatana people were so powerful, even if this leg had its muscles and cells abolished, walking like a normal human was not a big problem. That was enough.
He took two steps forward, suddenly stuttered and almost fell.
“Sir!” The old man shouted anxiously.
Wei Lingnan stabilized himself and took a deep breath to restrain the sudden pain in his heart from hurting his leg. This was the sign of the injury. When he had been hanged on the cliff today during the day, he had been disturbed by this painful heartache, and his feet were suddenly weak. That was why he had slipped. Ah Luo already seemed to suspect something, so he had to hide it better.
However, things did not go as expected. Perhaps it was because of the accident on the first day, but on the second day, his leg injury was even more serious and he could hardly get out of bed.
The old man begged again. “Sir, you can rest at home for a day.”
He said, “Bring me a painkiller.”
Under his cold and grim eyes, the old man couldn’t help but turn around and get him a bottle of painkillers. Wei Lingnan injected the painkillers into his injured leg, tossed the empty needle tube to the ground, got up, and walked out.
Today’s set was also busy.
Xia Yingluo and Wei Lingnan filmed several rival scenes. When she saw that his face was not right, she went into the dressing room alone while he was resting.
After a while, she brought out a cup of sour plum soup and handed it to Wei Lingnan. “Drink some water.”
Wei Lingnan took it, took a sip, and suddenly noticed something. He dropped the cup and pulled her hand. “Ah Luo?!”
“What are you doing?!” She didn’t expect him to react like this. She was angry and tried to break away from him to no avail. He grabbed her hands, and his long, wide sleeves scattered like blossoming flowers, revealing a delicate white wrist. A scar of blood that was on his wrist was startling and had not dried up.
Wei Lingnan looked at the bloodstain and looked up at her again. “What are you doing, you’re giving me energy with your blood?”
She turned her head and said, “Don’t overthink. If it was any of the tribe that was so weak, I would also save him.”
He sneered. “Really.” He stood up and shoved the bloody plum juice back into her hands. “I don’t want it.”
She was anxious, raised her head and glared at him. “You want to die?! Look at how weak you are now, even if you want to gather energy for me, you can’t force yourself like this. If you die, who will do everything for me?!”
Wei Lingnan: “… Ah Luo, can’t you say something nice?”
She still glared at him. “Why should I! Just drink it!”
There was a smile on his icy cold face. He raised his glass, drank a large mouthful of the plum juice, and when she was not alert, he pulled her into his arms. He pried open her lips and fed her a little. The sweet and sour liquid flowed between the two with a hint of coolness, and the smell of bones and blood lingered. She wanted to turn her head and didn’t want to drink the precious energy, but he arrogantly fed all the plum juice into her mouth. After confirming that she drank it, he then let go.
“You’re crazy!” As soon as she was loosened, she yelled, “I finally released the blood!”
