Chapter 2817 — Sharing Adversity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You're the one who told me to look." Wei Zhao looked a while longer before extending his hand and tapping lightly here and there across her body. That done, he turned away at once—great as the temptation was, he resolutely restrained himself.
This was an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank, no ordinary little girl. Having grasped that clearly, Wei Zhao dared not provoke her again so freely.
The girl tried moving, and found she could indeed move her body again. She quickly picked up the yellow silk from the ground, fastened it over her chest, and straightened her clothes—yet she did not call out to Wei Zhao at once. Instead she gazed at his back, and a complicated look flickered in her eyes.
By her usual way of doing things, she ought to have killed Wei Zhao. But for some reason she could not fathom, she was unwilling to strike. Was it because Wei Zhao had saved her life?
The girl touched the little box at her waist, drew it out, and opened it. Inside, two pills of lustrous, round hue lay intact—and by now she could be entirely certain that Wei Zhao had not touched her elixirs.
Which meant that Wei Zhao had healed his own wounds first, and then healed hers? The girl knew well how grievously Wei Zhao had been injured. She could scarcely imagine that he could heal himself, and then heal her as well...
He really is formidable... No wonder Little One and Little Thirteen had returned empty-handed back then. And Han Jingyi—to think she could recover even after such grave injuries. And the injuries of the white leader—could those have been healed by him too?
At that thought, the girl was startled by her own conjecture. If that were so, then Wei Zhao was simply too powerful!
But no matter. She herself bore no grudge against Wei Zhao. The feud between Wei Zhaou and the Five Luminaries Sect was beyond her power to mend—not hers alone, but even her master's. So the girl shook her head and set such matters aside for the time being.
"Thank you..." the girl said to Wei Zhao. Though she had unavoidably suffered some liberties at his hands during the healing, she was still grateful to him. Without him, she might well have perished on the spot.
"No need for thanks. We're comrades now, bound by shared hardship... brothers-in-arms, so to speak. That dinosaur you were fighting earlier—what on earth was it? How was it so powerful?" Wei Zhao asked tentatively. In his view, since the girl might be connected to the Tagan family or the Five Luminaries Sect, her purpose in coming to the Five Fiends Mountain Range might well be to receive the inheritance of the source power. Could she too be a five-attribute cultivator of the void attribute—and had she been in the cave earlier for the inheritance, only for him to stumble in by sheer mischance, so that the inheritance had fallen to him instead?
