Chapter 82: You Don’t Need to Repay the Favor Like This

“So what can I worry about now?” Tan Mo was finally able to relax.

Wei Zhiqian sighed helplessly. He realized he had to be more attentive and protective of her from now on.

Since she was so silly and so innocent, how could she not be bullied?

“Were you afraid that I would use your abilities and make you use them too much, so that they’d lose their potency?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

Obviously, this was important. Had she ever thought about it?

“Why should I be afraid of that? Little Uncle wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.” Tan Mo tilted her head, and her mind was so pure that it could be seen through. She smiled at Wei Zhiqian and said, “Little Uncle didn’t know anything about this until now and you’ve always been so good to me. When I was a six-year-old kid, what value did I have to you?

“Little Uncle has always been so good to me, why should I suspect Little Uncle of any bad intentions? That would be too ungrateful. Not to mention Little Uncle would not do this. Little Uncle has always treated me so well, I would be happy to repay the favor.”

“You don’t need to repay the favor like this,” Wei Zhiqian said immediately, even a little angrily.

“Okay, I won’t,” Tan Mo answered.

Seeing how innocent she was, Wei Zhiqian could only sigh helplessly and ask, “How do you use your abilities? Do you need to have physical contact with people?”

“Yes.” Tan Mo nodded.

Wei Zhiqian recalled how Tan Mo had treated the Old Madame’s headaches. “Do you have to put your hands on the other person’s area of pain?”

Tan Mo wasn’t afraid of being used by Wei Zhiqian. She trusted him completely.

Since Wei Zhiqian didn’t regard her as a monster, she finally had a person to tell the secret to that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. Tan Mo was happy to be able to share it with Wei Zhiqian. “It works best when I touch the painful area. It’s easier like that. But the day before yesterday, when I was treating you, I was afraid of being seen, so I just held your hand and transmitted it to the wound.

“When I was a child, I was too small so my power was limited, and I couldn’t transmit it to anyone. As I’ve grown up, the energy that can be delivered has increased.”

“In the future, unless it is a question of as a last resort, don’t do this again.” Wei Zhiqian stared into Tan Mo’s eyes seriously and said, “Especially don’t overdraw on your own ability. It can be too dangerous. This time, you had a fever because you overdrew on your abilities. If it was ever more serious, no one could know the consequences.

“My injury would have recovered under normal circumstances, but the speed would have been slower. If there is ever such an incident in the future, don’t overdraw your powers by treating me. Just let me recover slowly, all right?”

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo became anxious when she heard what he said. “Are you going to get hurt in the future?”

Wei Zhiqian was stunned. He didn’t expect Tan Mo’s focus to be on this.

Wei Zhiqian chuckled a few times and said, “I’m just making an example. How could I want to get injured?”

“I don’t know. No matter what, if you get injured like this in the future, I will still treat you with my special powers. It is better to heal quickly than to have it drag out and suffer for a long time,” Tan Mo said, puffing out her cheeks. “If you don’t want me to over-exhaust myself, then don’t get hurt.”

Wei Zhiqian understood. No matter what, she still couldn’t bear to have him get hurt.

“Okay, I promise you that I will do my best to not get hurt,” Wei Zhiqian promised. “However, you also have to promise me not to use your abilities in a careless manner. You don’t want to be discovered.”

“All right, I know,” Tan Mo said with a smile. “Little Uncle, I’m not stupid. I know that if this ability was discovered by unreliable people, I could be used. At that time, I might become a tool for their treatment. I might be captured and imprisoned. From morning to night, day after day, I would have to treat people and constantly deplete my abilities. If my abilities became overdrawn, and I became comatose or sick, I could be forcibly awakened by an injection and have to continue to transmit power.

“Or I might be taken away for experiments, for brain tests, body tests, or even surgical dissections.” As Tan Mo said this, although she was still fine, Wei Zhiqian’s face darkened, and there wasn’t even the slightest bit of cheerfulness left on his face.

“Who would dare to do that?” Wei Zhiqian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Just listening to Tan Mo talking about these possibilities, he felt as if he was about to lose it.

A scene played in his mind.

Tan Mo had been taken away and helplessly forced to give treatments every day. Her blood had been drawn and she had been tied to an operating table like a lab rat.

Just thinking of this scene made Wei Zhiqian so enraged that he was about to explode.

“Little Uncle!” Tan Mo quickly wrapped Wei Zhiqian’s clenched fist with both of her hands.

She had originally been playing the pity card in order to make Wei Zhiqian feel distressed.

Who knew Wei Zhiqian would have such a strong reaction?

Tan Mo felt that in the future she shouldn’t play the pity card with Wei Zhiqian.

It seemed as if she only needed to stand in front of Wei Zhiqian, and Wei Zhiqian would dote on her no matter what.

Just like her three brothers, who had always felt as if she was being bullied.

The joints on Wei Zhiqian’s fist were white because he was clenching so tightly. Tan Mo looked at him. She was afraid that if he used too much force, the bones could pierce the skin.

Tan Mo rubbed his hand to make Wei Zhiqian relax and said, “Little Uncle, don’t worry. I’m not stupid. It’s because I know this that I’ve never told anyone. Even my parents and brothers don’t know. You are the only one who knows my abilities.”

These words made Wei Zhiqian’s fist loosen.

He had guessed it, but he wasn’t sure it was true. Even her closest family members didn’t know about her ability.

He was the only one?

In this matter, he’d finally beaten Tan Mo’s parents and brothers.

It was a pity that he couldn’t let them know. Wouldn’t they be extremely jealous of him?

Tan Mo took this opportunity to spread Wei Zhiqian’s fingers out. She saw that his palm had been left with purple marks from his nails because he’d been making a fist with too much force.

Tan Mo rubbed the marks from his nails and said, “And I’m also very cautious. I don’t usually help people I don’t trust, lest I risk endangering myself.

“From the time I discovered this ability to the present, I have only cured headaches for the Old Madame and then this time I stopped the bleeding, relieved the pain, and sped up the healing for you.” Tan Mo can’t expose the fact that she had been reborn and was already remembering things even when she was a baby. “I discovered that I have this ability because my mother told me that when she had just given birth to me, the surgical incision was still painful, but as long as I was next to her, the pain would ease up immediately.

“Little Uncle, I’m not a foolish person,” Tan Mo said. “I just wanted you to get better soon. I didn’t want you to be at risk. After you had the operation, the doctor said that there might be complications caused by infections.”
