A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Chapter 834: Found That Flower

The girl in the room was extremely thin and was half-squatted on the floor. Her hands were held up by rings made of black steel. Her wrists were filled with scars and traces of dried blood.

She looked up weakly and saw Wei Lingnan. Instantly, there was a look of horror on her pale face.

“Don’t be so afraid.” Wei Lingnan’s voice was very gentle. He walked up to her and raised her chin with two fingers. “Today, you won’t be used for experiments. I’ve come to tell you good news.”

The fear in Xia Yu’s eyes did not fade but became stronger.

Demon... The man in front of her was a demon!

She had been kidnapped here for many years. After the Heavenly Voice Music Festival where she was exposed by Xia Ling for lip-syncing, she had to disappear due to angry public opinion. During this time, she planned to go abroad to avoid the limelight and soon, she returned to China. Unexpectedly, after being overseas for a while, she was kidnapped here. She lived every day in this dark lab and they took her blood, dissected her, and conducted experiments on her. There was also this monster-like man...

Her head was forcefully lifted by that man. That man’s smooth amber eyes did not seem human. She did not know if it was due to the pale lighting, but his face looked slightly distorted as if it could melt at any time.

Xia Yu started to shake uncontrollably.

Wei Lingnan carefully rubbed her cheek and whispered softly, “After studying you for so long, your blood, genetic structure, and vital signs are the same as ordinary people. Sure enough, you’re not a phoenix. Unfortunately, the phoenix is the treasure of the Xia Family. I can’t kidnap her here, so I have to trouble you for the time being.”

After being locked in the experimental lab for so long, Xia Yu already knew who that man referred to when he said “phoenix.” He was talking about her sister, Xia Ling! The more she feared this man, the more she hated Xia Ling. If it weren’t for Xia Ling’s so-called Phoenix destiny, she would not be dragged down and treated like a piece of meat every day!

After thinking about, the hatred in her eyes was revealed.

“You hate Xia Ling? That’s not good.” Wei Lingnan joked as he seemed to be in a good mood. He straightened up his back, went to the fridge to find a tube of chemicals, and injected it into Xia Yu’s body.

“You’re free now.” Wei Lingnan took off her shackles.

Xia Yu, who was kneeling on the ground as her hands were held by the shackles, suddenly lost her support and fell to the ground like dirt. She had a hard time looking up and was in shock. In a hoarse voice, she said incredulously, “I’m free...?” She was careful and eager to hear a positive answer. At the same time, she was afraid that it was just a cruel joke.

Wei Lingnan said, “I don’t have time to waste on you. I want you to return to the Xia Family and help me do something.” He took a small petal out from his outer coat pocket. Its edges were white, but its inner portions were flame red. “I went to the Xia Family and found this sort of Bromelia plant. Some components of this flower are very interesting and I hope that you can bring back another one for me. It only grows in the Xia Family.”

The Xia Family was a very closed-off environment. Wei Lingnan only went in once as a matchmaker. It was impossible for him to enter again. However, Xia Yu was different. She was a family member. As long as she acknowledged her roots and ancestors, she would be able to enter.

“Xia Family?” Xia Family muttered again a little awkwardly.

“Do you still not know? Your sister is Xia Ling and in this life, she is Ye Xingling. She has already acknowledged her ancestors and reunited with her family. The Xia Family is also your family. I want you to return home to acknowledge your relatives.”

Xia Yu was shocked again. “The Xia Family acknowledged Ye Xingling? They really think that Xia Ling reincarnated as Ye Xingling?!” She initially did not believe this and treated Wei Lingnan as a crazy person who turned into a demon because he was doing research on reincarnation and linked Xia Ling and Ye Xingling together because of his wishful thinking.

However, if the Xia Family also acknowledged Ye Xingling, things were different.

It couldn’t be that everyone was blind, right?

Could it be that in this world, reincarnation was really possible?!

There was a turbulent feeling in Xia Yu’s heart.

Looking at her expression, Wei Lingnan sneered. “Do you still not believe after you’ve been locked here for so long?”

Xia Ling shuddered and quickly said in a soft voice, “I believe it, I believe it.” She saw too many strange things in this secret base: monsters, viruses, and even this man who did not look like a human... If all these existed, then why couldn’t Xia Ling reincarnate?

“I only want that type of flower. Maybe there will be a breakthrough in reincarnation research.” Wei Lingnan told Xia Yu, “Once you help me get that flower, you will be truly free. I will never give you trouble again. I promise.”

“What did you inject in me just now?” Xia Yu asked.

“Oh, that?” Wei Lingnan gave her a brief response. “It’s just a little thing I did to control you. If you can’t get the flower in the agreed time, your skin will start to rot from your fingers until your entire body collapses and dies.”

Her voice became as soft as a whimper.

Xia Yu did not seem to doubt him at all. Over the years, she had seen many of this man’s unscrupulous means. She was extremely afraid and lowered her head humbly. “Yes, Mr. Wei. I will bring that flower back for you.”

“Good girl.” Wei Lingnan smiled. “When you’re back, I will reward you.”

After that, he turned around and instructed the guarding researches outside to release Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was sedated. Her eyes were covered with a black eye mask. After a long car ride, finally, she was pushed and shoved until she arrived in the wilderness. When she opened her eyes again and took off her mask, she only saw a sky full of stars. She couldn’t help but cry in joy. She had not seen the light of day in many years. Finally, she could leave that monster... Finally, she did not have to be an experimental subject!

All of the hardship she suffered was because of her sister Xia Ling or Ye Xingling.

She would definitely get her revenge!

Xia Yu’s expression turned cold as she swore to herself.

...

Xia Ling was recording a song in the studio.

The melody of this song was a little complicated. No matter what, she couldn’t find the most perfect tone. She tried time and again, but it was still far from perfect. In annoyance, she took off her headphones and collapsed on the recording table.

Her assistant Wei Wei knocked on the door.

Xia Ling tilted her head. “Come in.”

Wei Wei walked in with a face as white as a sheet. “Sister Xiao Ling, someone at the door wants to see you. She... She’s Xia Yu.”

“Xia Yu?!” Xia Ling jumped in fright. Why did she suddenly appear? How many years ago did she last see Xia Yu? It was so long that she almost forgot her name.
