A minute passed. Then ten minutes passed, but nothing happened.
Su Jiyai panicked a bit.
'What is this place…?' she whispered in her mind.
'This cage… It's not normal.'
She looked around slowly. There were no weak points, no cracks, not even a single dent in the floor.
Everything was perfect. Too perfect.
'Someone planned this ahead of time…'
.......
Back in RV
The sun had set and risen again, and still, there was no sign of Su Jiyai.
Xi Ping paced back and forth inside the RV, chewing on her nails.
"She should've returned by now! She always returns…"
Qin Feng sat near the table, his fingers drumming nervously.
"Yeah. Something's wrong. She didn't even send a signal. Not even a mental ping."
Xi Ping stopped walking. "What if… what if the princess noticed something? What if she—?"
"No." Qin Feng stood up. "Let's not panic. But we're not waiting anymore."
He looked out the RV window at the capital city glowing in the distance.
"I'm going in. You're coming too."
