"None of us are dead," answered Ling Chuxi expressionlessly.
The fifth princess' reply was far simpler and far more violent. She pinched Wei Dan's ear and twisted it while excitedly saying, "Uncle Wei Dan, does it hurt? It hurts, right? If you're dead, you wouldn't be able to feel the pain. So, you're not dead! My master saved you guys!"
Only then did Wei Dan look around and realize that he back at the campsite Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen had set up with the fifth princess. The wounds on his body had been bandaged up and he felt much better. He touched his ear which was red from the fifth princess' twisting of it and looked up to see the fifth princess beaming at him. Right then and there, he felt unprecedented happiness.
