The main support warship does indeed have considerable space, capable of accommodating millions of soldiers.

Even if they fight again, it won't be to the point where a Federation mech can freely come and go.

Lu Jue dragged the mecha to the hatch, but it was too big to fit inside, so he let go.

"Mistress, what should we do?" he asked, turning around.

Jiang Zhixia glanced at the mecha, then patted Lu Jue's head: "You go ahead and do your thing. I have something to discuss with this commander alone."

Lu Jue's eyes darted back and forth between her and the mecha, and something just didn't seem right.

But he noticed a hint of resentment in the princess's expression, and he felt that the federal commander deserved it.

It's definitely because he upset the female master on the battlefield!

"OK."

He simply nodded, turned around, and left.

With the war over, the commander-in-chief had to oversee all post-war order. Although he didn't have as much authority as Jiang Ting, the tasks he had to perform were similar to Jiang Ting's, so he did have to be busy.

This federal commander is quite a character; he was dragged all the way here without uttering a sound, he's very patient.

Well, within the Imperial Fleet, the female master won't suffer any losses.

The support personnel continued to come and go, moving supplies and counting the wounded, and no one paid much attention to the Federation mech parked at the entrance of the passage.

In the distance, Su Chen had just come out of a lounge.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he glanced outside and saw the mech standing at the entrance of the warship and his female master, and frowned slightly.

What are the Federation's mechs doing here?

Why is the princess here too?

The next second, a guess flashed through my mind.

Could it be... Mu Huaye?

His face immediately darkened.

Just as he was about to approach to confirm, a soldier rushed over: "Healer Su! The general requests your presence!"

Su Chen stopped in his tracks, glanced again at the Federation mech and the female standing in front of it, and sighed softly.

He looked away, turned and followed the soldier away.

If it's Mu Huaye... he'd better be smart enough to come back on his own.

The thought of that snake taking advantage of the female's unconsciousness to arbitrarily form a contract brought forth the thoughts of killing someone with his own hands that he had suppressed for half his life.

We absolutely must find a way to make Mu Huaye suffer!

Jiang Zhixia waited until Lu Jue left before slowly strolling to the mecha.

She raised her hand and tapped the outer casing.

"Aren't you coming down?"

In the cockpit, Mu Huaye closed his eyes with utter resignation.

There's no denying it; she definitely recognized him.

If we remain silent any longer, it will only make us look like we're trying to hide something.

He steeled his resolve and yanked open the hatch.

With a "click," the mecha was opened, and a tall, slender man jumped out.

He landed in front of the female, his eyes darting around for a moment.

He wanted to revert to his previous lazy demeanor, but he just couldn't manage it in front of the female with whom he had made a contract.

He froze for a moment, his face cold as he refused to look at her.

"Princess, what do you want with me, having forcibly brought me here?"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned.

Wow... Mu Huaye looks so good in the Federation's commander-in-chief uniform!

The federal uniform was snow-white, and the commander's uniform was even more sharply tailored. Mu Huaye was tall and had long legs, but he did not appear strong. However, this uniform accentuated the strength hidden beneath his skin.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his previously loose long hair was now neatly tied back, revealing his handsome features, which were both dangerous and eye-catching.

This was the first time Jiang Zhixia had seen Mu Huaye in a Federation uniform, and it was also the first time she had grasped the Federation's aesthetic sense.

Mu Huaye felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.

After not hearing her speak for a while, he took a deep breath and said in a very official tone.

"...If there's nothing else for you, Princess, I'll head back to the Federation base now. I'll visit the Empire again when I have time."

He wanted to run away.

He had just lifted his foot, attempting to escape quickly, when he was stopped.

"stop!"

The raised foot obediently landed.

"..." What on earth is she trying to do?!

Could it be that they know about the contract and are going to settle scores with me?

Mu Huaye became even more stiff with nervousness.

Jiang Zhixia snapped back to reality upon hearing the words "return to the Federation".

Looking at the slightly stiff man, she felt a surge of anger rise to her head and laughed in exasperation.

"It seems you really want to go back to the Federation..."

Mu Huaye was stunned.

Did I hear that right?

Why does she sound like...disappointed?

"What do you mean by this—"

"Mu Huaye," Jiang Zhixia interrupted him with a cold laugh, "I won't stop you from going back to the Federation or anywhere else, but now, let's talk!"

The tone of her words was too harsh. Seeing the anger in her eyes, Mu Huaye secretly clenched his fists.

It seems like they're in a hurry to terminate the contract?

"Okay... let's talk."

……

After a while.

Mu Huaye sat on one side of the table with his arms crossed, looking quite relaxed at first glance.

But in reality, he was so stiff that his whole body was like it was made of steel plates. He kept his head down and didn't say anything, but he made his breathing much lighter.

He dared not look at the female opposite him.

Whether it was because of the contract or because I hadn't seen her for a few days, her unique fragrance was becoming increasingly clear.

It hasn't been that long, so why is it so much more intense than before?

Jiang Zhixia sat opposite him, appearing calm on the surface.

In reality—

Ugh! What are we talking about?!

She impulsively detained him, saying she wanted to talk, but what did she want to talk about?!

She was indeed angry that Mu Huaye always went to the Federation, but that was his business!

If we don't discuss this, are we supposed to talk about concluding a contract?!

That won't work either!

What to do, what to say... Ah, that's it!

Jiang Zhixia suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up.

There was something she really wanted to confirm...

The two said they wanted to talk, but didn't say a word.

Mu Huaye couldn't take it anymore and spoke first.

"you--"

"Can you just be completely honest with me this once?"

"……what?"

Mu Huaye's heart skipped a beat, and he looked over.

Jiang Zhixia looked at him earnestly, "I know you suffered a lot before your rebirth, and I know you've been trying to avoid that disaster. Now that the Queen Insect has been captured, the future will be changed."

"Then can you tell me—how were you reborn?"

Mu Huaye's eyes flickered slightly.

So that's what he was confessing...

Why would she want to know this?

He instinctively turned his face away in resistance: "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Zhixia stared at him. "You hunted down Jiang Lian not to get revenge on her, but because she caused the disaster. Even when you first approached me, it was because I could hurt her. But the future Su Chen can kill her, so why don't you go after him?"

"Is your rebirth related to Su Chen?"

Jiang Zhixia stared at him and asked, word by word.

This suspicion actually arose after hearing the "naive version" of Mu Huaye say that Su Chen killed Jiang Lian.

However, Mu Huaye's words were always half true and half false; he could only get answers when his body underwent mutation.

However, when his body underwent mutation, his memories were incomplete, consisting only of a portion.

So if you're going to ask a question, you should ask Mu Huaye, who's standing right in front of you.

Mu Huaye didn't hear her mention concluding a contract, nor did he hear about terminating it, and he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

He relaxed a lot, but fell silent because of this completely unexpected question.

Jiang Zhixia waited a moment before hearing his indifferent tone.

"Rebirth? That's something that's incredibly difficult to achieve. Do you want to know?"

Based on her past experience communicating with this man, she subconsciously assumed that he wanted to exchange information.

So she nodded: "Tell me what the rebirth has to do with Su Chen, and I can tell you the reason why the Insect Queen brought disaster."

The system, also waiting for Mu Huaye to reveal the secret of his rebirth: [...]

Why do I have a bad feeling?

Jiang Zhixia already knew about her beastly husbands and family, but did she have to tell Mu Huaye too?!
