Chapter 1233: Genetic Code
She wanted to cry but was without tears, and all kinds of sadness sprouted in her heart.
Ever since she woke up from her coma, Wei Lingnan hadn’t forced her too tightly. He brought tea to her and took good care of her every day.
Xia Yingluo turned her grief into appetite and vowed to strengthen her body as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, her body was the capital of revolution. She didn’t know if Wei Lingnan saw through her thoughts, but he didn’t refuse any request for food. Even when she said that she was bored and wanted to go for a walk in nature, he really took her from the cold laboratory and moved her to a beautiful little bungalow.
There were a sparkling lake, blue sky, and white clouds, and the surrounding was full of trees.
She could even sll the flowers and hear the birds talking.
Xia Yingluo looked at the beautiful lake and clouds and was so speechless that she only asked after a long ti. “Where is this? Have you taken out of the underground base? I don’t rember this near S City.”
Wei Lingnan looked down at her, and the fine golden-green sunlight of the tree line gently brushed her cheeks, and even nearer, her face was still perfect and flawless. It was as if it was carved out of nephrite, so delicate and warm.
Wei Lingnan restrained the urge to kiss her and said to her, “This is still an underground base. The staff has to work underground for many years. In order to prevent them from suffering from psychological problems such as claustrophobia, I set up many artificial things—look at the sky, the clouds, it’s enough to make it seem real, right?”
He said, smiling slightly, “I’m glad you like it too.”
Humans were different from the Skatana people. The Skatana people could survive for a long ti under extrely harsh natural conditions, but even if humans had food and drink, they would be susceptible to illness and death after leaving a pleasing environnt. His Ah Luo was now resurrected as a human body and had probably been infected by many human habits. He didn’t want her to be uncomfortable.
Xia Yingluo looked up and took a deep breath of the oxygen-rich air in the shade.
The depression of imprisonnt these days was imdiately swept away. Nature always had such a magical healing effect. “Have I been living here ever since?” she asked. “Can I just walk around and talk to people... over there?”
She pointed to a few humans picnicking on the lawn not far away.
Wei Lingnan said softly, “Yes. As long as you don’t leave the residential area, you can do anything. I made a new identity for you. If anyone asks, tell them your husband works here.”
“My... husband?”
Xia Yingluo was a little surprised. Suddenly she realized that Wei Lingnan was talking about himself, and she couldn’t help but get angry. “You’re despicable!”
Wei Lingnan’s voice was faint. “Don’t make angry, you know the consequences.”
Xia Yingluo glared at him angrily, but she had no choice. He had so many ways to punish her, she didn’t want to be humiliated again because of her quick mouth. Turning her head, she ignored him and entered her own bungalow. The small bungalow was built near the water. At the main entrance, there was a small courtyard planted with small white flowers. There was a hydrophilic platform near the side door corridor and the gentle breeze blew, making her feel joyful.
Wei Lingnan was still looking at her. She was so beautiful, her skirt fluttered against the wind, and there was a touch of tranquility in her bright eyes.
How long had it been since he had seen her being so carefree?
Billions of years ago...
No, no. At that ti, she was always busy killing, conquering foreign enemies, and conquering all the unconvinced forces within the ethnic group. The bloody battles defined that ti, until one day, all the people surrendered and fell under her feet.
And what about him? He had just been a pawn to help her reach her peak of strength.
He had been insignificant and sad.
Xia Yingluo was a bit tired. She sat down on the small chair beside the hydrophilic platform, then turned to look at Wei Lingnan. “Why are you always looking at ?” she asked. “Have you never seen a beauty?”
“Beautiful won dry up to bones. There’s no beauty in my eyes.” He was glad she took the initiative to chat, but his expression was still faint.
Xia Yingluo humped in sarcasm. “Yeah, you are part of the Skatana tribe, the kind of monster in the Shanglin Nanyuan villa? In your monster standards, humans all look about the sa?”
“The Skatana tribe is a highly evolved polymorph.” Wei Lingnan corrected her. “We’re not monsters as you think. We can also transform into humanoid form, but the Skatana tribe is often fighting. The monster form is the most convenient form for fighting and killing, so we usually take on the monster form.”
“It sounds dangerous.” She was still taunting him, not believing a single word.
Had Wei Lingnan watched movies like too often?
Wei Lingnan’s eyebrows narrowed. “Do you know? You look a lot like your humanoid form.”
Xia Yingluo was stunned. The ironic smile was frozen on her face.
Wei Lingnan looked at the long lake, and then said, “Did you ever wonder why you were neither like your father nor your mother and not even similar to your uncle’s side? Because you carry the Skatana’s genetic code in your genes. The inferior succumb to the superior, and the lower to the higher, so it’s not surprising that the characteristics of the Skatana appear in your face.”
Xia Yingluo opened her mouth and refuted after a long ti. “Bullshit, don’t try to lie to . Although I don’t look like my parents, we’re still slightly similar. It’s normal for children to only be slightly similar to their parents.”
Wei Lingnan downplayed it. “Really? Since you always consider yourself a human, I will explain it to you using human science. Ah Luo, your pupil color, lip shape, and other appearance details... According to the genetic law, your father and mother’s gene combination would not show such characteristics at all. If you don’t believe it, you can find a genetics expert and ask him.”
Xia Yingluo still shook her head. “You’re lying to ...”
“Why would I lie to you?” Wei Lingnan looked at her. “With your pupil, there’s only one possibility—you were mixed up at birth and you’re not your parent’s daughter at all. But unfortunately, your DNA will tell you that you are indeed biologically related, but that certain genes have been mutated. Believe , geneticists will be very interested in you.”
He looked at her with a smile, like a confident demon.
Xia Yingluo refused to believe it. “Why wouldn’t you lie to ? How could I possibly expose your lies? Wei Lingnan, even if I’m going to find a geneticist to verify everything you say, it will have to wait until I completely escape from this ghost place. Will you let go? Since you won’t let go, how can I possibly verify the truth of your words? Naturally, you can lie to if you want to!”
