Slap! Slap!

“Hey. Hey, snap out of it.”

I grabbed Gubong’s limp body and slapped his cheeks. It felt like I had hit him at least ten times already, but he still wasn’t moving.

“Damn it, this is so annoying.”

Maybe I went a little overboard? His condition wasn’t great, to say the least.

Luckily, his breathing was shallow but steady, and his heart was still beating. At least he wasn’t dead.

Moreover, his body was regenerating.

Even though his face was a mess, at this rate, it wouldn’t take long for him to recover.

“Damn it… Normally, this would wake someone up.”

What should I do? Should I try infusing energy into him to wake him up?

‘That’s a bit risky.’

Ordinarily, that would be the simplest method, but not now. In his current battered state, it could mess up his energy flow and cause more harm than good.

Which meant I had no choice but to wait for him to wake up naturally.

“And if someone sees this, it’s gonna be a real pain to explain…”

“What are you doing?”

We moved to a room.

Sitting calmly at the desk, I caught the faint, sweet scent from earlier—the same fragrance as the plum tea I had tasted just a while ago.

Sure enough, a cup of tea was placed in front of me. Shin Noya had brought it.
