"You mean, you plan to never return to the Empire and stay with Xia Xia forever."

The man in black robe quietly examined the male in front of him for a while, then chuckled:

"Feynman, you don't think I will believe you just because you say this lightly, do you?"

Males are always insidious and cunning. Black Robe thinks he is, and Feynman is even more so.

"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." Feynman didn't argue much: "I just have a bottom line."

"Tell me about it." The man in black robe was very interested.

Feynman said directly: "I will not give you advice. Leading the army and fighting is your own business. Whether you succeed or not has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, that's no problem."

The man in black robe nodded, and after a moment's silence, he spoke again: "Actually, among Xia Xia's partners, I have always admired you. If you can join..."

"I'm not joining."

Feynman immediately interrupted the man in black robe and said, "I stayed here because Tangtang needed me, not because of you. If it weren't for Tangtang, I would definitely fight you to the death."

There was a sudden noise at the door.

Feynman immediately turned his head to look over, only to see Xia Tang's pretty face, which was now very pale.

"Tangtang!"

Feynman stood up immediately, but Xia Tang turned and left without even looking at Feynman.

Feynman stopped where he was, staring at Xia Tang's back for a long time, then turned back somewhat angrily:

"I still don't understand, what do you want? Star coins? Status? What makes you ignore Tangtang's feelings? Can't you see that she is very sad?"

Feynman waited for a long time but did not hear any answer from the man in black robe. Soon he returned to Xia Tang's small room. Xia Tang was lying on the bed. When she saw him, she closed her eyes.

"Are you angry?" Feynman held Xia Tang's hand, which was slightly cold.

"No."

Lambert quickly pushed the door open, put breakfast on the table, and asked Xia Tang to get up and eat.

"Yeah." Xia Tang opened his eyes and sat up.

Lambert tentatively fed Xia Tang twice, but Xia Tang did not refuse. Instead, she snuggled up to him obediently, which surprised Lambert.

He thought that after Feynman recovered, Xia Tang would become closer to Feynman, but he didn't expect that this was not the case.

Xia Tang didn't eat much, and soon he covered his mouth and started vomiting, vomiting out everything he had just eaten.

"What happened?" It was the first time Feynman saw Xia Tang like this and he was very anxious and worried.

"fine."

Lambert skillfully took the basin from under the bed, patted Xia Tang's back, handed him water, cleaned up, and after Xia Tang lay down to rest again, he pulled Feynman out the door and whispered:

"This is normal. Tangtang is pregnant with a female cub. Female cubs are bigger and are pressing against her stomach, so the reaction will naturally be bigger."

"Mistu, that bastard!"

Feynman was at his wits' end and could only curse fiercely, then asked Lambert:

"Then Tangtang, how long will this last? Until she gives birth? Will it get better?"

"It's not easy to give birth to a female cub." Lambert didn't believe Feynman either, and his words were meaningful:

"Just look at Tangtang's belly and you'll know. It's hard for her to go anywhere else during this period."

Feynman turned around and went back to the room. Xia Tang opened her beautiful eyes, but when she saw Feynman, she immediately lowered them.

"Don't be angry." Feynman coaxed softly: "Tangtang, it's all my fault."

"I'm not angry." Xia Tang held Feynman's hand tightly: "I'm very happy that you are willing to stay with me."

Feynman touched Xia Tang's little face lovingly:

"I promised you that I would never be separated from you again. It wasn't an empty promise. You are here, and I am here too. I used to be very afraid that there would be a day when I would have to make a choice between the Empire and you. But when I really made the choice, I found that it was not difficult. You will always... come before the Empire."

Xia Tang looked at Feynman, first smiled softly with eyes curved, then tears fell:

"Feynman, I didn't expect you to be so good at saying sweet words."

"It's the truth."

"To tell the truth... there is a price to pay." Xia Tang kissed Feynman's forehead:

"I guess the war will start soon. Are you worried?"

"None of this has anything to do with you." Feynman comforted Xia Tang: "I'm more worried about you."

……

Xia Tang's prediction was correct. Three days later, the black robes really launched an attack. She was awakened by the fierce gunfire and shouting while lying in bed. When she looked up, she saw Feynman with his eyes open. She didn't know how long he had been awake.

"Is there a war?" Xia Tang asked Feynman while rubbing his eyes.

Feynman hummed softly. His face remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil. After all, he had participated in so many wars, it was impossible for him to not care at all.

It's all clamoring in my bones and blood.

Feynman suppressed the strange feeling and told himself to stay calm.

"Tangtang, I'm going to go out and get you some food."

"Ah."

Xia Tang looked at Feynman's back and had a vague feeling that Feynman might never come back after he left.

But she didn't ask him to stay.

Feynman walked out into the corridor, where the number of guards had been greatly reduced, and made his way to where the food was stored and saw Lambert.

"How did you come?"

Lambert looked at Feynman warily: "I'll send the food over right away. Don't hang around outside. You know that the man in black robe is very suspicious."

Feynman's eyes moved downwards, and he saw a star gun on Lambert's waist, and immediately looked away.

"I know." Feynman nodded, and then asked casually, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to war? Are you not preparing for it?"

Lambert smiled and kept his mouth shut: "Feynman, you don't care about these things anymore? You just promised the black robe, and you want to go back on your word?"

"I just find it strange." Feynman said calmly:

"We could have prepared for two or three more days. After all, the more soldiers we have, the greater our chances of winning."

"It doesn't matter. It's none of your and my business anyway."

Lambert quickly filled his plate with food and was about to leave:

"Let's go. The two of us just need to take good care of Tangtang. Everything else is unnecessary."

Feynman nodded and followed Lambert back. James, who was standing guard at the door, saw them coming back and immediately pulled Lambert over and whispered:

"The black robe has left. He asked you to help keep an eye out."

These words also reached Feynman's ears. He walked into the house as if nothing had happened, sat next to Xia Tang, and began to feed her.

Feynman had been very nervous these days, and outsiders might not be able to tell that he was in such a state.

But Xia Tang saw his slightly bent spine and tense muscles.
