Mu Yuan's body stiffened, the smile and the infatuated look in his eyes vanishing in an instant.
Although the smile still lingered on his face, his muscles noticeably tightened, making the smile appear extremely strained.
"What did you say?" Mu Yuan's voice trembled.
"What I said, you heard very clearly. There's no need for me to repeat it."
Mu Yuan tried to pull his hand away, but Ling Yan held it firmly, and he failed twice.
He no longer dared to look into Ling Yan's eyes, turning his face away and asking softly, "So, you knew all along?"
Ling Yan scoffed. "So, you're admitting it?"
Mu Yuan bit his lower lip, the blush on his face gradually fading. He met Ling Yan's gaze with displeasure and said, "So what if I am? In this other world, I am the Guardian General, and you are just an unknown soldier under my command. You can't possibly think of arresting me, can you? Even if you have me now, what will you do? Send me back to Prison Star?!"
