"How could I be all right? It hurts so much I could die!" Tianchan cried petulantly. "You sit behind me reaping the benefits while I suffer out in front..."
"Well... I would not exactly call it reaping benefits..." Wei Zhao smiled wryly. After all, he too was rapidly circulating the mental formulae to restore his physical strength and true qi.
"I do not care! Hurry up and heal me, or I will fall—and when we fall, you will be underneath, and I will crush you to death!" Tianchan said.
"Healing you is possible, but you must first pull your hand free and give it to me. If I cannot touch your skin, I cannot channel my physical strength and true qi into you to treat your wound," Wei Zhao said.
Healing was different from Heaven-Sent Spring Rain. Heaven-Sent Spring Rain could transmit physical strength and true qi without contact, but without contact, there was nothing Wei Zhao could do about healing.
"I cannot! If I let go with one hand, I will not be able to hold on to the cliff, and we will both fall," Tianchan said. "Can you not... just find some place and transmit the physical strength and true qi that way?"
"I could, but you would still have to pull your hand free. Otherwise there is a spike embedded in your palm—how am I to treat it? Even if your palm healed, the spike would still be in the middle of it, and pulling it out would wound you again," Wei Zhao said.
"Is that so? Then what if I pull my hand free and grip the spike with my hand instead?" Tianchan asked.
"That would work," Wei Zhao said.
"All right then..." Tianchan gritted her teeth and carefully endured the pain, drawing her palm off the spike. Even for a cultivator, the agony was severe. In her earlier duel with the Five Baleful Dragon, her wounds had been graver still, but she had soon fainted, so in truth Tianchan had not suffered much pain then. Now it was different—she had to endure it fully conscious.
"But... I have nowhere to put my hand?" Wei Zhao looked over Tianchan's body and found no place where he could touch her skin. Moreover, the two of them were bound together by the yellow silk, so Wei Zhao's movements were greatly restricted—reaching for Tianchan's hand was barely possible. And even if he managed to touch it, in this tense posture he could not circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. So Wei Zhao was rather at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"If there is no place, then find one..." Tianchan grew anxious. "Hurry up! It hurts, I cannot hold on much longer. If you do not heal me soon, I will fall!"
"Fine... you leave me no choice..." Wei Zhao said helplessly. He gritted his teeth and stretched both hands toward Tianchan's chest. That was the only place not covered by clothing, and the spot easiest for Wei Zhao to reach.
"Ah, you—even at a time like this you take advantage of me! You pervert!" Tianchan's whole body trembled as Wei Zhao suddenly groped her chest, and she nearly let go and fell. But reason prevailed, and she gripped the cliff face tightly, so she did not fall.
