As the two continued their exchange, Liu Bai arrived at the door to Guinaifen's area.
He took a deep breath...
No matter what he saw, he mustn't look too excited.
Liu Bai pushed the door open.
"Ugh..."
Guinaifen had been completely secured within the ranch's restraint apparatus.
Of course, the restraints themselves weren't particularly eye-catching.

When their headlights collided, Guinaifen immediately let out a small cry of pain.
"Lord Liu Bai..."
"There,
