Mu Yuan, with his foxy eyes, leaned closer to Ling Yan, his finger lifting Ling Yan's chin. "Captain Ling, quickly, let's see how they're dissolving that Coital Gu."
Mu Yuan mentioning the Coital Gu again made Ling Yan instinctively frown.
Mu Yuan quickly explained, "I wasn't trying to spy on anything improper they were doing! I was just genuinely curious about the Coital Gu, really, super pure!"
Ling Yan gave him a look that said, "I'll believe that when pigs fly," but still held out his hand.
Just by watching his movement, it looked as if he was about to embrace Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan swallowed nervously at Ling Yan's sudden closeness. Then, Ling Yan's fingers brushed past his earlobe, taking the earpiece from his ear.
Mu Yuan immediately panicked. "Hey! We haven't even entered the real stronghold yet! You're taking the earpiece away? How will we communicate? It'll be so dangerous!"
