Qiu Hou remained unconscious, and the others could not simply leave him behind and continue onward. With Su Ran's help, his mangled body slowly began to heal, regrowing the skin that had been melted away. The process looked rather nauseating. It lasted for over an hour before Qiu Hou finally looked human again.
However, even though his external injuries had healed, there was still no sign of him waking from his coma. According to Su Ran, the coma was likely caused by excessive depletion of extraordinary energy and injuries that were too severe. His foundation had not been damaged, so he would recover after resting for a while.

It was not until daylight had fully broken that Qiu Hou's eyelids finally trembled and slowly opened.
"You're awake?"
Ji Muge leaned closer and saw rare confusion in Qiu Hou's shrewd fox-like eyes, along with lingering terror as though he had yet to recover from the ordeal. She secretly activated her wristband and took a picture.
In truth, she had also taken a commemorative photo when Qiu Hou had fallen heavily injured earlier. Of course, he could not be allowed to find out. She still could not beat a recovered Qiu Hou.
