Chapter 76: Talk to me

For a while, Yichen remained beneath the great tree without saying anything.

The flowers swayed gently around them, their petals brushing against his clothes whenever the breeze passed through the field.

Xiaoyu lay against his lap, her face was turned toward him, and the faint smile on her lips had not changed.

Yichen held one of her hands between his own. With the other, he continued guiding his spiritual energy into her body, directing it carefully toward her injuries in an effort to slow the bleeding.

The flow was weak and unsteady.

The maze's suppression made it difficult to circulate his energy, and what little he managed to gather was quickly consumed.

Even so, he persisted, drawing what he could from his depleted reserves and sending it into her wounds.

He knew he could not heal her like this. His energy could only help slow the loss of blood and keep her condition from worsening for a little longer.
