Xia Tang made a big fuss. She wouldn't let Hei Pao touch her and she also refused to eat a single bite of dinner. Later, probably because she no longer had the energy to make a fuss, she fell asleep on her bed sobbing. Hei Pao took advantage of the night to secretly apply medicine to Xia Tang, using very gentle movements.

Xia Tang was much more well-behaved when he was asleep than when he was awake, and the black robe's eyes were full of tenderness. It turned out that his female cubs were the cutest.

"But Afu, why did you send our female cub away?" The man in black robe looked at Xia Tang and couldn't help but think of the sad things.

dong dong.

There was a knock at the door.

Hei Pao tucked Xia Tang's little quilt in, stuffed her little arms and legs back into the quilt, stood up and walked outside, and said in a somewhat unhappy voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"

James was a little anxious and blurted out: "There is a fighter ship approaching. I have sent people to investigate. It is indeed coming from the Empire."

"It's a good thing you're here, James." The black-robed man's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and one could even hear a hint of excitement:

"They are finally here. We have our chance. Let's get ready brothers."

"The pirates from the Junk Planet are also approaching." James showed the Star Brain to Black Robe: "Look, they have sent us a signal."

"Everyone who comes is a guest!" The man in black robe locked Xia Tang's house carefully and said to James, "There is strength in numbers. Let's show them our strength so that we can attract more orcs from other planets to come."

James put away his Star Brain and said cautiously, "One more thing. We are about to go to war, and winter is coming soon. Maybe we can start the spiritual comfort a little earlier..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, for fear of angering the black robe.

"Are you worried about your brother?" The man in black robe snorted coldly. He knew what James was thinking, but Xia Tang might not cooperate.

James immediately knelt on the ground, trembling: "This... I am worried about my brothers, and I am also afraid that I will delay your work. If they can't survive this battle..."

"Get up," the man in black robe raised his hand slightly and pressed his temple:

"Let me think about it... I remember there are a few males who are not in good spirits. Tell them to prepare. If we are lucky, we can comfort them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!"

James was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. When he was about to retreat tremblingly, the black robe suddenly stopped him: "Come back and find me two books on raising cubs, for female cubs."

"Yes."

When Xia Tang woke up hungry the next day, food was already on the table. She looked down and found that her legs were wrapped in gauze and applied with medicine.

"Awake? Hurry up--" Black Robe felt a little awkward, but he changed his attitude according to what was written in the cub-raising manual: "Xia Xia...eat breakfast quickly."

Xia Tang didn't understand what Hei Pao was thinking, but she was really hungry, so she ate a little more for breakfast. During that time, Hei Pao wanted to find a male to feed her, but she refused.

"Can you use chopsticks by yourself?" Seeing that Xia Tang was eating well by himself, the man in black robe immediately praised her according to what he saw in the parenting book: "Xia Xia is great!"

"Are you okay?" Xia Tang stuffed a meatball into his mouth: "Are you possessed by a ghost?"

The man in black robe groaned twice, and indeed felt that he was a little weird, so he became normal again: "I want to ask you for a favor."

"I want to go home."

Xia Tang had half an ear of corn stuck on her chopsticks. Her attitude was very firm. If the man in black robe agreed to let her go home, she would help her if she could. If the man in black robe did not agree to let her go home, she would refuse to help.

"I've told you many times, this is your home." The man in black robe pointed to the ground.

"This isn't the place!" Xia Tang started to argue, "My home is in the Shixia Mansion, and I want to be with my partner."

"Then don't you want your relatives at all?"

"What do you mean?" Xia Tang didn't understand the deeper meaning of the black-robed man's words and thought he was talking nonsense.

"Nothing." The black robe shook his head: "When you are done eating, accompany me to go somewhere."

Xia Tang followed the man in black robe outside. The weather outside was much colder than before. The temperature dropped sharply and Xia Tang sneezed while shivering.

"Ah!"

The man in black robe pulled Xia Tang back into the house and carefully put a hat and scarf on her. "You are weak, so take care of yourself. Forget it, I will find you a male who can take care of you in a while."

"I want to go home."

"You're a repeater." This time, the black robe was not angry, and his temper was much milder: "Follow me first."

The world outside was very strange. Xia Tang looked for a while but didn’t see any familiar buildings.

"What place is this? Is it still on the main star?" Xia Tang asked casually, not expecting the man in black to answer.

"This is Shengzhi Star." The man in black robe helped Xia Tang tie her scarf again. "It's a long way from the main star. Don't think about running away."

"Humph!"

Xia Tang ignored the man in black robe and just looked at the many snacks on the roadside that looked delicious. She suddenly stopped in front of a candy shop and didn't move.

"Want to eat?" The man in black robe followed Xia Tang's gaze and looked at the colorful candies.

"I don't want to eat!"

"Take two, one strawberry flavored and one grape flavored." Hei Pao bought two super-large lollipops and handed them to Xia Tang: "Eat them, but don't eat too much, be careful of tooth decay."

Xia Tang was eating candy and felt much better than before, but he was still wary of the man in black.

"Does your leg hurt?" The man in black robe suddenly looked at Xia Tang's legs: "If you are tired, I can carry you."

Xia Tang shook his head.

The two walked one in front and the other behind. The scenery around them changed from prosperity to withering, from lively to desolate. Xia Tang was a little scared and leaned towards the black robe.

Hei Pao was somewhat satisfied with Xia Tang's behavior. This is how his female cubs should rely on him.

The two stopped in front of a dilapidated door.

"Go in." The man in black robe pointed at the door.

"You, want to sell me?" Xia Tang was so scared that the lollipop in her mouth no longer felt sweet.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man in black robe admired Xia Tang's way of thinking. He gently pushed open the door, grabbed Xia Tang's arm and led her in.
