Chapter 320 - 312: Awakened by a Slap

Shen Tang had just finished discussing matters with the City Lord; it was getting late, and she and her beast husbands were planning to leave.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, they glimpsed a white figure flash across the sky, "Boom!" and fall clumsily to the ground.

Shen Tang was so startled she almost jumped.

"..." She thought a planet was crashing into Earth!

Luckily, when the dust cleared, she saw that it was actually Lin Yu?

He came here to find her at this hour?

Before Shen Tang could ask what was going on, Lin Yu suddenly knelt in front of her, eyes brimming with tears, pleading desperately, "Your Highness, please save our Young Master!"

"Yun Han? What’s wrong with him?" Shen Tang was full of suspicion.

Lin Yu’s eyes were red from crying, "The Young Master attempted suicide! He’s been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, but we found him too late, and the doctors there are shaking their heads saying it’s over. The Family Head sent me to beg you! Please, save the Young Master!"

As soon as Shen Tang heard those words, she was shocked and didn’t have time to listen to the rest. She quickly headed toward the hospital.

Lin Yu, overjoyed at seeing this, quickly flew to her side, urgently saying, "Your Highness, let me take you there!"

Shen Tang mounted him and swiftly flew towards the hospital.

Lu Xiao and the others saw this and quickly transformed into beast form or drove to the hospital.

On the way, Shen Tang was still reeling from the shocking news, unable to tell if she was disappointed or angry, but she was definitely upset. "What the hell happened? Why did he attempt suicide?"

Lin Yu said sadly, "The Family Head was afraid the Young Master would act rashly again in a moment of impulsiveness, so he had us lock him in his room to reflect."

"But tonight, when we went to bring him food, we found the door locked from the inside, and despite calling for a long time, there was no response. At first, we thought he was asleep, but then we heard the sound of water from inside, and soon, red water started seeping out from under the door. That’s when we realized something was wrong, broke in, and discovered..."

Lin Yu broke down into tears, "The Young Master had slit his wrists in the bathtub, blood almost drained."

Shen Tang’s forehead throbbed, at a loss for words, and she felt exasperated at such foolishness.

She knew the wedding was a heavy blow for the proud Yun Han, but she never thought he would resort to suicide!

"What a foolish wolf!" she couldn’t help cursing, "He’s the dignified Young Master of the Yun Family, and he’s seeking death over a female? Did he never think about what his father would do after his death?"

With Yun Hong having only one son, Yun Han’s death meant extinction, handing over the family to the Yun Family’s collateral branches or even being divided by outsiders.

Lu Xiao, catching up, overheard the conversation and found himself similarly conflicted.

Perhaps the Female Master doesn’t understand how males form profound attachments to the first female they are with, feeling deeply hurt and finding it hard to let go.

If truly hurt to the extreme, they may even have thoughts of seeking death.

This was undoubtedly the greatest challenge Yun Han would ever face, needing a long time to slowly come to terms with it. Yet, Lu Xiao never expected him to impulsively do such an irrational thing.

This incident had affected him more severely than they had imagined.

Upon reaching the hospital, the group rushed into the emergency room.

Yun Han had no breath left.

When Shen Tang arrived, the heart monitor showed a flatline.

The old Family Head fainted at the scene.

The doctors and nurses present were shocked and hurriedly took the old man to another emergency room.

Shen Tang had no time to worry about anything else, striding over quickly, she waved the doctors aside and infused her Healing Ability into Yun Han’s body.

Luckily, she arrived just in time; he had just died and could still be saved.

A few minutes later, the heart monitor began to beep again.

A hint of color returned to Yun Han’s pale face. His long eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes, seeing the ceiling of the hospital room and Shen Tang beside his bed, a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

Wasn’t he dead?

Is this hell? Or... heaven?

After a second of silence between them.

Slap!

Shen Tang directly slapped him across the face.

Yun Han was stunned, not because it hurt but because of the clear, warm feeling—it meant he wasn’t dead? He had been saved again?

The doctors and nurses in the room were all astonished, wondering what would happen if this newly revived patient were knocked out again.

Lu Xiao and the others, who arrived afterward, were also taken aback. The Female Master’s slap was crisp and loud, leaving half of his face red—what strength! They thought better not to anger her in the future.

Seeing Shen Tang’s reddened palm, Xiao Jin wanted to go over and ask if she was hurt from striking, but it wasn’t the right time, and saying so would be awkward; he held back.

Yun Han gathered himself, propped up his upper body, and lowered his eyes, saying dejectedly, "Why... did you save me?"

Shen Tang laughed angrily, raising her hand, "Was one slap not enough to wake you? Want another?"

Lin Yu hurriedly grabbed her hand, pleading desperately, "Your Highness, don’t be impulsive. Our Young Master just woke up and isn’t thinking straight, don’t hit him again!"

He was already not very bright; another hit might make him even dumber.

Shen Tang frowned and shook him off, retracting her hand.

Yun Han’s lips were pursed tightly, guessing the reason—it must have been them who brought her to save him.

There was no need to do so; after all, he didn’t want to live anymore and didn’t wish to owe her another debt.

Seeing Yun Han’s half-dead look, Shen Tang couldn’t help but feel angry, sneering, "What? Was the gunshot at the wedding not enough? You want to use this extreme method to force me to let go? Yun Han, you’re thinking too highly of yourself!"

Yun Han’s breathing became erratic, his voice hoarse, "I never thought of forcing you this way! I don’t care anymore."

Seeing him regain a bit of liveliness, Shen Tang coldly said, "Do you know why I came to rescue you today?"

"..."

"Before seeking death, did you consider the favors you owe me? If you died just like that, did you think about me, your debtor?"

Yun Han’s fingers slowly tightened, his throat dry, unable to speak half a word.

"This is the most disappointed I’ve been in you! As the Young Master of the Yun Family, you should understand that from birth, you’re not living for yourself but for the family." Shen Tang looked towards the adjacent emergency room, sighing softly, her voice complex, "If you die so rashly, did you consider the future of the Yun Family? Did you think about your father? Do you want to take him with you?"

"I..." Yun Han was speechless, his eyes reddening, struggling even more painfully.

Shen Tang turned her gaze to him, speaking each word clearly, "If you are truly a male, show some responsibility and live well, taking up the family responsibility."

She spoke in a softer tone,

"And, to repay my kindness."

Yun Han raised his dark eyes, staring blankly at Shen Tang.

In his eyes, there was pain, confusion, and perhaps a hint of other emotions.

Gazing into his eyes, Shen Tang spoke softly, "What’s gone is gone; no one will forever dwell on the past. If you want to wash away the shame, it should not be done in this manner."

"The Empire has just gone through turmoil; it’s time more people are needed. Another Ninth Rank Beastman is another trump card. I and the Empire’s people need you."

"You still have revenge unfulfilled, don’t do these foolish things."

"Others will only laugh at you more."

"I will only look down on you more."
