As her fingers touched it, the black light mass instantly dimmed considerably.
“Hmph!”
A low hum escaped Xin Yuan’s throat.
He had been paying attention to Wen Li’s every move.
Seeing her reach out her fingertips above his wound, as if touching something, and tap it.
A strange tingling sensation followed at the wound.
The feeling was so intense that Xin Yuan couldn’t control his voice.
Hearing Xin Yuan’s sound, Wen Li cautiously looked up at him. “Are you alright?”
Xin Yuan: “Mm.”
Wen Li withdrew her gaze and looked back at the light mass above Xin Yuan’s wound.
This time, she saw that the color of the light mass had become even dimmer.
It’s working!
If she could make this light mass return to normal, would Xin Yuan’s injury heal?
With this thought, Wen Li reached out again, her fingertips tapping the light mass once more.
As Wen Li’s action landed, Xin Yuan once again felt an extreme tingling sensation.
It wasn’t painful, just a tingling.
Xin Yuan didn’t know the principle behind it, he could only try his best to keep his lips shut and not let his groans escape.
Wen Li tapped several times.
With her persistent efforts, the original black light mass turned white and disappeared.
At the same time, a strong sense of fatigue washed over Wen Li, and her vision darkened.
It seemed she had overexerted herself, Wen Li thought.
Wen Li kept her eyes closed, waiting to recover.
Xin Yuan’s incredulous voice, however, rang out first: “Wen, Wen Li… How did you do that?”
“Hmm?” Wen Li lifted her eyelids.
Upon looking, she saw that the previously horrific wound on Xin Yuan’s arm had already healed.
His strong arm was smooth and new, as if it had never been injured.
Wen Li herself was stunned.
This was her first time using this ability, and she hadn’t expected it to be so miraculous.
It… healed just like that?
She had just tapped the black light mass repeatedly, like playing a game. With each light tap, the light mass’s color would dim until it returned to normal.
And just like that, Xin Yuan’s injury was healed.
It was truly incredible.
Wen Li blinked and met Xin Yuan’s shocked gaze.
“Do you have healing abilities?” Xin Yuan exclaimed.
Xin Yuan hadn’t understood the meaning of Wen Li’s “I’m helping you” earlier. He never expected Wen Li to have abilities.
And she had healed his wound directly!
In the beast world, only a very small number of females possessed abilities.
Females were already rare, and females with abilities were even more precious species.
It was no wonder Xin Yuan was shocked.
More importantly, he had never heard of Wen Li having abilities.
Wen Li smiled sheepishly. “Mm… it only appeared recently.”
Xin Yuan took some time to accept it all.
He had never interacted with a female with abilities. Strictly speaking, Wen Li was the first.
Therefore, Xin Yuan couldn’t discern the truth of Wen Li’s words.
He didn’t know if female abilities manifested from birth or at some point during their growth.
“How are you feeling now?” Wen Li pointed to Xin Yuan’s wound.
The black light mass from earlier had completely disappeared.
She just wanted to change the subject quickly, fearing that Xin Yuan would continue to question her, making it difficult to brush off.
“It’s already healed. Thank you,” Xin Yuan said.
His arm felt as if it had never been injured, and the previous pain was gone.
Wen Li continued to ask, “When did you get injured? How come I didn’t know?”
Xin Yuan explained, “During the fight with the stray beast.”
The dying stray beast hadn’t given up struggling. Unwilling to accept defeat, he triggered the curse to “retaliate” against Xin Yuan before dying.
If Xin Yuan had been alone, he could have easily dodged it.
But the stray beast’s target was Wen Li.
To protect Wen Li, Xin Yuan took the blow head-on.
While his forearm was cut, it was also cursed.
Everything happened too quickly at the time for Wen Li to see clearly, let alone know the specific situation.
The commotion at the shaman’s place had subsided.
He walked towards Xin Yuan and Wen Li, saying with concern, “How’s the medicine applied? Your wound will need medicine for at least half a month to fully recover…”
The shaman spoke as he walked, his gaze sweeping over Xin Yuan’s arm. At first, he didn’t notice anything unusual.
He continued to look at Xin Yuan’s other arm, but he didn’t find the familiar wound.
The shaman froze in place, thinking he was hallucinating.
Perhaps it was an angle issue, the shaman reassured himself.
Otherwise, how could he explain such a severe wound suddenly healing?
“My old eyes are playing tricks on me,” the shaman muttered to himself.
He approached Xin Yuan and gestured for him to extend his arm for him to examine.
Shaman: “Let me see your injury…”
Xin Yuan: “It’s already healed.”
Shaman: “Hmm?”
His gaze fell on Xin Yuan’s arm.
This was indeed the injured arm; there was no mistake. He remembered clearly that there was still green ointment on it, which was very obvious.
But where was the wound?
Where had such a large wound gone?
The shaman took a sudden step back, staring at Xin Yuan with a strange expression. “Where did your wound go???”
Xin Yuan: “It has already healed.”
The shaman exclaimed, “Impossible! Your wound wouldn’t heal in less than ten days to half a month. Even with your strong self-healing ability, it’s impossible!”
Xin Yuan calmly pointed at Wen Li. “She did it.”
The shaman looked at Wen Li, who smiled at him, a hint of guilt in her expression.
Shaman: “Wen Li? What did you do?”
Wen Li said softly, “Perhaps, do you know about healing abilities?”
The words “healing abilities” made the shaman’s head buzz.
“Healing abilities? You?” The shaman’s face was full of disbelief. “What a joke!”
He wasn’t unfamiliar with Wen Li. He had practically watched her grow up. Didn’t he know if she had abilities!
Wen Li defended herself, “…I awakened it a while ago.”
Without another word, the shaman took a dagger from his waist, cut his finger, and offered it to Wen Li.
“Show me.”
Wen Li hadn’t expected the shaman to be so direct.
But she was powerless. She had just used up all her mental energy healing Xin Yuan.
“I can’t right now,” Wen Li said with a wry smile. “My power is depleted.”
The shaman sneered.
Although he didn’t understand why Xin Yuan’s wound had suddenly healed, he didn’t believe Wen Li had awakened abilities.
The shaman had encountered females with abilities.
Wen Li’s mother was one, though very few people knew about it.
Usually, females with abilities awakened them at birth, and their power grew stronger as they grew up.
There was no such thing as suddenly awakening, as Wen Li claimed.
Wen Li had no abilities since she was a child, so it was even less likely for her to have them as an adult.
Although he didn’t understand why they were lying to him, the shaman was already unhappy.
Just as the shaman was about to scold them, he saw Wen Li suddenly reach out and lightly tap above his fingertip.
