After confirming that the man in black had left, Xia Tang's first thing was to clamor to go out.

"Wait a minute, how about trying this candied strawberry first? I just made it myself."

Lambert coaxed Xia Tang patiently. He was more cautious than the man in black robe and had to make sure that Severida and the others had left Shengzhixing before he was willing to take Xia Tang out.

"I'm just walking around in the underground palace, is that not okay?"

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Lambert and Xia Tang walked side by side. Xia Tang took a bite of the candied strawberry and soon smiled with squinting eyes:

"good to eat."

"If you like it, I'll make it for you." Lambert was very happy. He took Xia Tang's hand and said, "Do you like hawthorn? Or other fruits? You can tell me."

"I don't like hawthorn." Xia Tang chewed the thin layer of rock sugar on the strawberry: "This is very good, rock sugar orange and rock sugar grape are both good."

Xia Tang walked to the front of the black-robed man's house and stopped: "I'll go in and take a look."

She looked around but didn't see what she wanted to see - the Holy Mirror. Xia Tang knew that the man in black must have a backup plan. He could use the Holy Mirror to return to the underground palace at any time, just like before.

She had to destroy that damn mirror.

"What are you looking for?" Lambert was puzzled. "I'll find it for you."

"I'm looking for...Zizi." Xia Tang evaded the question, "Why can't I see her?"

"The black robe took her... away."

"Took it away?" Xia Tang suddenly became anxious and didn't even bother to look for a mirror: "Why did he take the cub away! It's mine! Mine!"

"Tangtang, listen to me. Hei Pao won't do anything to her. After all, she is his own blood. He loves her dearly."

"What family ties does he have?" Xia Tang quickly figured it out:

"He took the cub with him to the war! He's the only cub I have left, and he took him away. What does he mean by that? He wants to threaten me and the empire, right?"

"That's not the case. He just doesn't want you to have to work too hard taking care of the baby." Lambert hugged Xia Tang and comforted her: "The baby will be fine."

Xia Tang was disheartened. No wonder Hei Pao was confident in keeping her in the underground palace. It turned out that he had made preparations in advance.

Now that she has a baby, she has a soft spot. She no longer wants the holy mirror or freedom.

"Forget it." Xia Tang wiped her tears resignedly: "I'll go and comfort the soldiers."

Lambert was very surprised by Xia Tang's attitude. He had tried to persuade him when the man in black robe said he wanted to take the baby away.

He felt that this method was useless. Xia Tang could not be tied down by a cub. After all, a female had a long life and would have many cubs. Although female cubs were precious, that was only for males. As long as Xia Tang wanted, she would definitely be able to give birth to other female cubs.

But the man in black robe said he understood nothing.

Now it seems that he was indeed superficial.

A spiritual soothing venue was quickly set up in the underground palace, and Xia Tang performed two performances obediently.

The soldiers who had just recovered had not yet come to their senses. Lambert carried Xia Tang back to bed and hurried away to clean up the mess.

Xia Tang was lying on the bed resting when the door creaked open.

"You're back so soon?" Xia Tang said with his back to the door, "Close the door quickly, the cold wind is giving me a headache."

"Hurry up and get up. If you have a headache... just bear with it."

The voice was rude and unfamiliar, definitely not Lambert's. Xia Tang turned around and saw a very familiar face.

"You are..." Xia Tang was scared at first, but soon remembered his name: "The administrator of the ancient museum, He Luo."

He Luo grabbed Xia Tang's wrist, pulled her out of the quilt, took out a thick coat from the closet and put it on Xia Tang:

"Hurry up! Follow me!" Xia Tang first let He Luo control her. He Luo led her away. The route was different from what Xia Tang knew. It was all some messy secret passages. Although He Luo's legs were not good, his speed was not slower than Xia Tang's.

Soon, footsteps could be heard coming and going outside the secret passage. He Luo kept urging Xia Tang:

"Hurry up! You're so squeamish!"

Xia Tang had just completed two large-scale spiritual comfort sessions and was already exhausted. In addition, she was still sleeping and was suddenly woken up by He Luo. Her mind was still confused and she couldn't even talk back at this moment.

"We're here." Hero pointed to the light above his head and said, "Go out and keep going north. Your companions are there."

"No." Xia Tang climbed up and came down quickly: "I can't leave yet."

"Don't worry about me, I can get away."

"Feynman is still here." Xia Tang told Hero: "He is still out of control. If I leave, he will die."

"...There are plenty of leopards. Just go out and look for them." He Luo pushed Xia Tang: "Don't be too attached."

"My cub... is also in their hands."

"The cub can also give birth to another child!" He Luo was so angry at Xia Tang: "You-how are you the same as your mother."

"What do you mean?"

There was no time to ask more questions. The entrance of the small cave where the two were hiding was suddenly smashed and several rocks collapsed. Lambert quickly saw Xia Tang from the gap.

"Tangtang!" Lambert pushed harder.

"You hurry up and leave!"

He Luo pushed Xia Tang out of the cave, trying to stop Lambert from chasing him, but Lambert quickly changed into a beast form, and jumped in from the gap in the shape of a fox, then flashed and jumped out of the cave.

It was white all outside and Xia Tang couldn't tell the directions. She couldn't walk far in the waist-deep snow. A white fox jumped in front of Xia Tang and scared her. Then it quickly blocked her with its tail and she sprained her ankle.

"Ouch!" Xia Tang fell in the snow.

"I didn't mean it!" The fox turned into a human form, and Lambert quickly checked Xia Tang's ankle: "I'm sorry Tangtang."

"I'm not trying to escape." Xia Tang grabbed Lambert with some fear: "Don't tell him, please."

"I won't tell you. I won't tell you." Lambert agreed without hesitation: "Go back first."

Lambert was willing to indulge Xia Tang, but that didn't mean he was willing to indulge He Luo. The first thing he did after returning was to find He Luo. After all, He Luo was a disabled orc, and the guards in the underground palace had already captured him.

"You are so brave." Lambert asked Hero, "How did you get here?"

"You are really brave."

Hero squinted at Lambert and said, "I designed the design of this underground palace, so I naturally know how to get here. You probably don't know that I come here often, so I know all the dirty things you did with Black Robe, but you can't set your sights on Xia Tang!"

"Hmph! It's like a rat! It's none of your business!" Lambert quickly called the guards over: "Don't leave it alive."

"Don't—" Xia Tang was standing at the door, staggering in and persuading, "Let him go, Lambert, let him go."

"Why don't you leave when I tell you to?" He Luo saw Xia Tang still in the underground palace and became anxious:

"Lambert is not a good guy! You can't believe a word of his! Do you know what he has done? He followed the black robe and did evil things. Do you think he was crazy because he really liked you? Before you, he led countless -"

"Shut up!" Lambert could no longer bear it. He was afraid that Xia Tang would hear what Hero said and hate him, so he immediately raised the Star Spear.

"No, no!" Xia Tang stopped Lambert: "I won't listen to him. Let him go and let him go back to the empire, okay?"

"If you have the guts, just shoot me to death! You won't shoot? Then I'll still tell you." He Luo had long lost his attachment to life over the years. He said to Xia Tang:

"There are so many females coming and going around Lambert, all kinds of them. If you don't believe me, you can even ask these people. They know everything. Don't you think so—"

boom!

The sound of gunfire interrupted Hero's words.

Xia Tang was startled and looked hurriedly. Fortunately, the bullet only hit the ground and did not hit Hero. However, Lambert had not put down the gun yet, as if the next shot would definitely shoot through Hero's head.

"Don't do this, don't do this, Lambert," Xia Tang cried and tried to stop Lambert:

"Please let him go, okay? I beg you, as long as you let him go, I will agree to anything you want, really."

Afraid that Lambert wouldn't believe it, Xia Tang stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss at the corner of his mouth.
