Chu Miao touched the place Ye Xuan had kissed and tried to maintain a serious expression. "That answer will not save you every time."
"It worked this time."
"It might not have."
Ye Xuan's arm remained around her waist as he replied, "You stopped frowning."
She couldn't argue with that.
A roar came from the direction of Red Maple Base, followed by the sound of heavy gunfire. The quiet moment passed, but the warmth it left behind remained with them.
Ye Xuan looked toward the two altered ability users. "We should move the captives somewhere secure."
"I'll put them inside the Soul Ring. Little White can watch them after it finishes at the wall."
Luo Cheng's eyes widened. "Put us where?"
"You will see."
"That does not sound reassuring."
"It isn't meant to."
Chu Miao sent the four captives and the damaged vehicle into an isolated section of the Soul Ring. Several binding formations already existed there, and Little White could make sure no one tried to escape when it returned.
