"I finally understand what the fourth rule in the code means," Li Zheng said to Mirel. "Are you okay? Do you need me to set up the capsule house, so you can adjust while I go and come back?"
Mirel thought carefully upon hearing this: "I'll... I'll stay here, lest I slow you down."
In her current state, she had almost no combat power; forcing herself to follow Li Zheng would only be a burden.
"Alright, then wait for me here." Li Zheng set up the capsule house and instructed, "Don't open the door to anyone until I'm back."
"I'm not a child, I know how to handle things," Mirel opened the door, turning to him with genuine affection like a young wife worried about her husband going far away: "Be careful on the road."
"I will," Li Zheng lifted her cloak and kissed her hard, whispering in her ear, "Wait for my return."
"Hm, you... you'd better go now," Mirel breathed heavily from the kiss, her eyes dazed, "I can't hold on much longer."
"Bye."
