Even after hearing Xia Tang's warning, the rabbit still acted provocatively. It quickly grabbed a bowl and knocked it to the ground like pulling a carrot. The bowl broke into pieces. The next second, its two white ears were grabbed by Xia Tang.

It looked innocent, as if it was not the one who broke the bowl.

Xia Tang sighed and curled it up in her arms, not allowing it to move its claws. She got up to get some water and poured it into the bowls one by one.

The rabbit licked the water in the bowl first; it always tasted especially sweet when drunk secretly.

"Don't lick it, or the sound will be out of tune." Xia Tang touched the rabbit's head and picked up the chopsticks to knock on the bowl.

The snow leopard heard the noise here, climbed up from the sleeping bag, and came to Xia Tang. It touched the bowl with its paw and looked at Xia Tang with its eyes. When it saw her gaze shift to it, it quickly retracted its paw.

Xia Tang saw Snow Leopard coming over and said nothing. He just started tapping and hammering until the sound was quickly tested.

"How about Jingle Bells?" Xia Tang deliberately skipped the snow leopard and only asked the rabbit for his opinion.

Xia Tang had no choice. There were not many songs that could be played on the water bowl harp, and they could not be too complicated. Among the short and simple pieces, this one was considered relatively easy.

The rabbit didn't understand what opinions were and just licked Xia Tang's fingers.

"Agreed? Then this is it."

Xia Tang reached for the chopsticks with both hands, and the rabbit instantly jumped out of her arms. She looked at the snow leopard lying beside her. Although she was still angry, she could only rely on him at this time.

“…It’s spiritual comfort.”

Xia Tang explained to Xue Bao briefly: "Because there is no ancient combat equipment here, we can only use this as a substitute. Feynman, please keep an eye on it for me and don't let it move around."

Snow Leopard had a question mark on his face.

It didn't understand how the seven bowls in front of it became substitutes for ancient combat equipment, but Xia Tang quickly started playing with chopsticks, and a tinkling sound rang out in the tent. The rabbit liked this sound very much and started to dance the rabbit dance happily.

The snow leopard held down the happily jumping rabbit with one paw.

The song was short, so it ended quickly. It wasn't until the spirit body branched out and headed towards them like it had before that Feynman really believed that the seven bowls really worked.

Xia Tang's spirit body entangled them and cleaned them up. The out-of-control factors poured out of their bodies and finally returned to Xia Tang's body.

The rabbit was the first to calm down, and the snow leopard also felt much lighter. It soon collapsed on the ground in comfort and took a short nap.

Xia Tang felt dizzy for some reason, her legs went weak and she almost slipped, but luckily she fell into an embrace filled with the scent of apples.

"Tangtang, are you okay?"

Anderson came in. He saw the snow leopard and the rabbit lying on the ground and complained softly, "This is outrageous. It's okay for Mistu, but why didn't the marshal... even say he would take care of you?"

"I don't blame them. I just gave them some mental comfort."

Xia Tang sat on a chair, picked up two male clothes, and put them under the rabbit, so that he would not have nothing to wear when he woke up. Then he turned around and asked Anderson: "Why are you here? Is Uncle Simon awake?"

"Yes, father is awake." Anderson held Xia Tang's hand: "Mother asked me to come and tell you so that you won't worry."

"Great, I'll go check it out."

Xia Tang immediately stood up and walked out, but Anderson stopped her and said, "You almost fell just now. Otherwise, don't go. Your mother will take care of your father anyway."

"I'm fine." Xia Tang held Anderson's hand: "Let's go together. If it really doesn't work, you...you can carry me on your back."

Anderson quickly chose the latter. He squatted in front of Xia Tang, and Xia Tang hugged his neck from behind and climbed up.

"Let's go."

Anderson carried Xia Tang on his back as he walked in the snow. Xia Tang lay on his shoulder and rubbed his face. As they walked, Anderson suddenly laughed:

"Tangtang, last year...after you ate the chocolate I gave you, you were just like now."

"I remember... you gave me chocolate with liquor filling at that time."

Xia Tang snorted softly on his back: "Back then, you always bullied me."

"You said my legs were short then, why don't you say anything?" Anderson was not happy. He kicked the snow hard and said, "My legs are long, okay? You keep talking nonsense all day long."

"Your legs are just short, just short!" Xia Tang pointed at Anderson's face angrily:

"You lost control and turned into a panda. You didn't even go downstairs to eat apples. Your four short legs just sat there on my bed, waiting for me to feed you. It was so infuriating—"

The two of them quarreled and arrived at the Beast King's tent. As soon as they entered the door, Kellysta came to greet them. Xia Tang blushed and patted Anderson:

"Hurry up, put me down."

"It's okay, there's no one else in the room."

Seeing Xia Tang's shy look, Kellysta was very pleased. She took Xia Tang's hand and said, "You two have a good relationship. Your uncle and I are very happy."

Angusimon also sat up and agreed, "Yes, yes, it would be even better if a baby was born."

Xia Tang's face turned even redder: "Uncle...are you feeling better?"

"It just looks scary. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." Angsimon coughed twice. "It's just that Admiral Severida... Tangtang, don't be too sad."

When Severida was mentioned, the atmosphere in the tent instantly dropped to freezing point, and Xia Tang's face turned very pale. Callista quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, don't mention sad things. Your uncle just can't talk."

"fine."

Xia Tang was relieved to see that Angsimon was not seriously ill. After sitting for a while, he said he wanted to go back and rest.

"I'll go back with you."

Kellysta put on her coat. She could see that Xia Tang was still thinking about Severida. At such a young age, it was difficult for her to accept the departure of her partner.

"Tangtang, don't be too sad. There are always casualties in wars. It's a common thing... Maybe it's because the empire hasn't had a war for too long, so you're not used to it. In fact, this is one of the reasons why females have multiple partners."

Xia Tang shook his head: "Savi...is not dead."

Kellysta thought Xia Tang was too sad to accept it:

"Forget it, poor child. If you have anything you like, just tell me from now on. Even if it's the moon in the sky, I will try my best to pick it for you."

"Oh, auntie, I have something I want to tell you."

Xia Tang and Kellysta walked side by side: "It's about Lambert."

Kellysta knew that Xia Tang would mention Lambert. In her heart, she really didn't approve of them being together, but now Xia Tang had lost her partner and was in grief. If Lambert could make her happier, she couldn't say anything.

"Aunt, I've always known that you don't like Lambert very much, and I'm not qualified to tell you this, but I want you to promise me that in the future... can you be nicer to him? Just a little bit nicer will do."

"Okay—what did you say?"

Kellysta originally thought that Xia Tang was going to propose to Lambert to be his partner, but it was obvious that this was not what Xia Tang meant.

"Lambert... I know he is not a good boy and has done a lot of wrong things. You never understand why I love him. In fact, I have a special feeling for him."

Xia Tang wiped her tears and said, "Aunt, I never told you that before I came to the empire... I was adopted. Since I was not a biological child of that family, I had to live by other people's faces. The reason why I can use those ancient combat equipment... is not the power given by the Beast God, but the result of practicing day and night. But they still love their biological child more, even if he can't do anything."

This was the first time that Kellysta heard Xia Tang mention this. She hugged Xia Tang distressedly and said, "My poor child, if Afu knew about this, she would be heartbroken."

But she still didn't understand: "But...what does this have to do with Lambert?"
