Chapter 2816 — Healing Your Wounds
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Indeed. How else do you suppose you recovered?" Wei Zhao put on a look of utter earnestness and went on massaging the girl's chest, justifying himself as he did so.
The girl's expression shifted slightly, a sharp gleam flashing through her eyes. She had been grateful to Wei Zhao, but she had never imagined he would take the opportunity to play the rogue. Killing intent rose in her heart at once: "This is you healing me? My wounds were cured by the Great Return Pill. You put your hands on me... and that heals me? Do you want to die?"
"What Great Return Pill?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, and he too sensed the girl's killing intent. But he was also rather vexed. I was saving you, he thought—though I could have done it without touching your chest, touching it was still for your sake. Besides, I brought you back from the dead, and instead of pledging yourself to me in gratitude, you want to kill me? In his annoyance, he could not help pressing harder with his hands.
"You... you..." The girl was livid, her face ashen, and she longed to leap up and kill Wei Zhao, but alas, there was not a trace of physical true qi in her body, and her acupoints were still sealed! Yet this also gave her time to calm down.
She had meant to accuse Wei Zhao of seizing the chance to play the rogue and take advantage of her, but in that moment she felt it distinctly—wave upon wave of warmth flowing from Wei Zhao's palms, while the wound on her chest was healing as if by miracle! She was a cultivator at the peak of the late Heaven rank, her perception far beyond the ordinary, and the mending of her wound left her utterly astonished!
Sensing this strange transformation, the girl's expression turned from fury to bewilderment. What she had not expected was that Wei Zhao truly was healing her. Could wounds be healed with one's hands? She stared at Wei Zhao in shock, her lovely eyes wide—had he truly not used a Great Return Pill?
That was it. Even with a Great Return Pill, her wounds could at best have healed over and scarred; new skin could never have grown so quickly. That was simply not realistic, and scars would surely remain. After all, however potent the Great Return Pill, the wound dealt by the Five Fiends Dragon's claw was far too large and too deep—leaving no scar would be difficult indeed.
"What is it?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Nothing... thank you..." The girl was somewhat abashed. Though being held by Wei Zhao in such a manner was hard for her to accept, he was her savior, and she was not one to confuse gratitude with resentment.
Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected the girl to regain her composure so quickly—she was a clever one. Yet worry stirred in his heart as well. He had originally meant to finish treating her before she woke, so that she would never learn he possessed the ability to heal others. But now, even if he wished to conceal it, he could not.
