Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Holy crap, I actually made her tutor Mei Xue! I even had them spend several afternoons alone together!"

Upon hearing this, Talulah nearly punched Chen Huijie to the ground. Her lips moved for a while, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she almost couldn't catch her breath.

At the crucial moment, Mei Xue reached out and patted Talulah's chest. After realizing that patting through her chest only caused a tremor but had no effect, she patted her back to help Talulah regulate her breathing.

While patting the little fox, he didn't forget to say some good things about Miss Black Snake. Actually, he also missed Miss Black Snake, but he didn't know why she hadn't come back yet.

"Don't be angry, sister. Actually, Black Snake Sister is a very nice person. She didn't want to kidnap me... Hmm, she even plans to take me somewhere else."

"Other places?"

"She said Ursus wouldn't work and she planned to take me to Kazimierz, but I want to wait for you here."

Seeing Mei Xue's obedient appearance with her tail swaying gently, Talulah immediately realized something: judging from Mei Xue's tone, it seemed that he already knew that Kashena was the Black Snake!

"Wait a minute, Mei Xue, you already knew she was Black Snake?"

"I know~ but Sister Kashena and Sister Black Snake are two different people,"

What do you mean by "two people"?

"Let me think about how best to say it..."

The relationship was indeed quite complicated. Mei Xue wagged her tail and thought about it carefully for a long time before she finally figured out the relationship between the black snake and Kashena.

"Sister Kashena was originally a black snake, but I captured the black snake from you, and the two of them are now using the same body."

At first glance, the little fox's words might seem a bit confusing, but Talulah, as the host of the black snake, can understand what Mei Xue is trying to say. In other words, there are two snakes inside Kasena, one of which Mei Xue took from her body, which is the one that Koschie planted.

"No wonder I haven't heard that guy nagging in my ear since then. Mei Xue, were you bothered by her?"

"She was really annoying at first, but she lived in my tail. Whenever she was about to say something bad, I would wag my tail, and after a while she stopped making a fuss."

Seeing Mei Xue's smug expression, Talulah never expected there to be such a way. It's amazing that she could even subdue the Black Serpent so well. She can only say that he is indeed her brother.

However, Talulah and Chen Huijie couldn't understand how the little fox could do such a thing. It was one thing to pull out the spell planted by Koschie, but the black snake itself couldn't possibly have such high intelligence. They were just a kind of will, not some fragment of a soul.

However, this black snake gradually developed its own consciousness as it spent time with Mei Xue.

"Now that you mention it, I remember that the Chixiao Sword's spirituality might also be due to Mei Xue."

Now Chen Huijie remembered that Chixiao was just a sword. Although it could distinguish its user, it only became so human-like after Mei Xue came into contact with it.

Seemingly hearing Chen Huijie call her, the Chixiao sword hanging at her waist emitted a buzzing sound, then sprang from its sheath and landed in Mei Xue's hand, concealing its sword energy and sharpness so as not to harm the little fox.

This scene made Chen Huijie feel an urge to take the broken sword to the scrap yard and sell it. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had been forced to watch Mei Xue and Talulah interact intimately today, and now her most handy weapon was always sticking to the little fox. Suddenly, she felt that her life as a dragon was a bit of a failure.

"Okay, okay, be good~~"

Mei Xue reached out and wiped the blade of the Crimson Sky sword, watching it chirp merrily. She quite liked the Crimson Sky sword, especially when cooking. It was so easy to wield it, as if holding the Crimson Sky sword made her understand how to use a sword.

It was clear that Mei Xue had many secrets he himself was unaware of, which made Talulah even more worried about the little fox's future. She sincerely hoped that Mei Xue was just an ordinary, cute fox, so that she could protect him and Mei Xue wouldn't have to face so many dangers.

Mei Xue is quite satisfied with his current situation. He sincerely hopes that he can help Talulah. Although he doesn't know how to use his abilities, if he can fulfill Talulah's wish, the little fox is willing to do things that far exceed other people's imagination.

"So, Meixue, you think that Kashena is trustworthy?"

"Yes, she said she would help her sister."

Mei Xue nodded, and Talulah also recalled the time when Kashena discovered her identity but did not expose her. It seemed that what Mei Xue said was indeed credible, but after all, she was the Black Serpent. Who knew how many schemes she might have hidden under her good intentions? We need to be extra careful with Chernobog. Who knows what tricks she is plotting?

So, what is Miss Black Snake thinking right now?

"Hehehe, Mei Xue... my Mei Xue..."

In the lounge of the main administration building in Chernobog, Kashina, who had been busy all night, was sleeping soundly and had a good dream. She dreamt of various inappropriate scenes for minors after she married the little fox and never went out...

(I know you want to see them, but I still have some side stories to work on: "Rosemary and Lily of the Valley 2," "Chen Ta's Twin Dragons," and "Which of the Two Wolves Has Better Stamina?")

Actually, after meeting Talulah that day, Kashina knew that this guy would definitely complain to Meixue after seeing her, so she originally planned to go back to Lungmen as soon as possible. But after thinking about it carefully, if she didn't have the little fox as a guarantor, Wei Yanwu and the Rat King would definitely bury her in cement.

Conversely, as long as Mei Xue can vouch for her, even if Talulah speaks ill of her, it won't have much of an impact. Rather than worrying about those things, she should make good use of her current position and try to gain some benefits for Mei Xue or the Reunion Movement that she cares about.

For example, she has already bought a house for Little Fox in every city in Ursus, and also acquired some properties in places like Casimir and Columbia. At the same time, she has helped the Reunion Movement solve many of its material difficulties, and even arranged for the Reunion Movement members to sneak into the city during this period.

Kasena can now be considered the true person in charge of the entire Chernobog. According to the agreement signed between the Black Serpents and Ursus, even the Inner Guards must obey her orders when necessary.

But more than anything, Kasyapa wanted to find a quiet place where she could live a carefree and uninhibited life with her beloved little fox.

"Meixue, give me a kiss... Don't be shy, let your older sister see... Oh my god!"

Because she's a restless sleeper, Kashina simply fell off the sofa and landed face down on the floor. The pain woke her from her delirious dream. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she realized she was still in the lounge. Kashina clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"These days without Mei Xue are getting harder and harder to bear, I can't even get through them."

Casually tugging at her messy hair, the one now in control of her body was undoubtedly the more carefree Miss Black Snake. Kashina had also worked overtime last night and was quite tired.

Picking up the intelligence report that the inner guards had delivered the night before, Miss Black Snake frowned after reading it, and then burned all the documents in her hand.

This is also the main reason why she chose to stay temporarily: to investigate what Mei Xue did in the Ursus ice field and why the inner guards noticed him. Now everything has an answer.

"I'm a furious Ursus curse!"

In a fit of rage, Miss Black Snake even smashed through the table in front of her with her fist, then silently withdrew her hand and clenched her fist, her anger intensifying.

"...Damn it, why did they put a cement slab under this solid wood table? It hurts so much."

Today, Miss Black Snake is also developing in the direction of a comedic character. Perhaps if Koschke saw this, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave and die of anger again.

————————————————————

At the Rhodes Island base, Blaze and Shining had just settled in, and Rosemary and Lily of the Valley had just put down their luggage when Amiya arrived.

Before Rosemary and Lily of the Valley could say anything, Amiya excitedly grabbed Lily of the Valley's hand and bombarded her with a barrage of questions about Plum Blossom, leaving Lily of the Valley unsure how to answer.

Especially when Amiya asked about how Linglan and Meixue got along, Linglan chose to keep quiet. On the one hand, she didn't want to lie, but on the other hand, her survival instinct told her that if she dared to say that she and Rosemary were always dominating Meixue, she probably wouldn't be able to see her parents and Meixue again.

After all, even the day that Suzuran and Meiyuki spent together when they first met was like a dreamy date.

As for Rosemary? There's not much to say about her. Her dependence on Mei Xue mostly stems from her body's craving for that kind of pleasure. In terms of feelings, Rosemary and Mei Xue are like friends, neither too close nor too distant.

Anyway, for kittens, physical contact is enough; feelings can develop slowly, which is what those books teach.

Therefore, the only things the two could tell Amiya were trivial matters. They dared not mention eating fox spirits or sleeping with Mei Xue; they would die if they did.

"So, Brother Meixue is still working at Tencent Logistics?"

Amiya feigned surprise, though she actually knew all of this. However, she felt something was off about the rosemary and lily of the valley afterward, so to prevent any unnecessary accidents, Amiya came to scout out the enemy's situation—no, to scout out her love rival.

However, after what just happened, both Lily of the Valley and Rosemary's emotions have stabilized considerably. In addition, Lily of the Valley's obedient and gentle temperament and Rosemary's ability, which is also related to the mind, make it difficult for Amiya, who is not at full strength, to detect whether the two are hiding any secrets from her.

No matter what, once we get to Rhodes Island, we need to find a way to win over Mei Xue!

Chapter 161 Sisters Fighting, Little Mordred

It was late at night. Because Mei Xue was reluctant to leave Talulah and Chen Huijie was reluctant to leave Mei Xue, the three of them decided to stay at Chen Huijie's house together tonight. Mei Xue could also cook for them.

However, while Mei Xue went to cook, Chen Huijie and Talulah looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence. They both had something on their minds and didn't know whether they should say certain things.

Neither of them are fools. Everyone knows Talulah's attitude towards Meixue. This girl is even planning to get married to the little fox.

As for Chen Huijie, even if Talulah was a bit clueless, she couldn't possibly be completely oblivious. Her good sister's affection for her brother-in-law seemed a little too high. Today, Chen Huijie had no intention of letting go of Mei Xue's hand and practically wanted to stick to Mei Xue.

Talulah could even clearly sense that every time Mei Xue got a little closer to her, Chen Huijie would do something abnormal, like wanting to punch her a couple of times.

"that……"

"actually……"

As expected of sisters, Chen Huijie and Talulah both chose to speak at the same time, but then fell silent again. Facing her former best friend, Talulah couldn't bring herself to ask the question, and Chen Huijie couldn't honestly admit her own situation.

(Sure enough, Huijie was hiding something from me, most likely related to Meixue.)

(As expected, Talulah had already guessed it to some extent; I need to be a little more careful.)

Having made up their minds, the two sisters smiled on the outside but were cursing inwardly. Talulah thought to herself, "It hasn't been that long, and Chen Huijie has already... oh wait, it seems she herself didn't last that long either. So it's not entirely incomprehensible. Of course, whether or not one can accept it is another matter."

"What's wrong, Huijie? Just tell me what's wrong."

"It's nothing, it's just that, you can sleep in my room tonight. I'm a restless sleeper, so let's not squeeze in together."

(I'll go find Meixue after you fall asleep)

Chen Huijie's mind was racing with ideas, and Talulah's head was also brimming with thoughts. What a joke! She had already used this trick before the Reunion Movement moved. Chen Huijie's move was just a clumsy imitation.

(Want to go find Mei Xue while I'm asleep?)

Talulah gently tapped her leg. It seemed she would have to be a little more careful tonight. Luckily, she had brought some sleeping pills with her. Her good sister must have been working very hard lately, so she could have a good dream.

The little fox, busy in the kitchen, was unaware of his sisters' scheming and infighting. He was simply immersed in the joy of reuniting with Talulah, his hands flashing as he chopped vegetables with his Red Sun Cutter, all the while thinking about saying goodbye to Hoshiguma and Swire the next day.

After all, she was leaving soon, and the little fox wanted to say goodbye to her sisters properly. She could see the Penguin Logistics team members often, since they also frequently went to Rhodes Island. However, there were two special people, Lin Yuxia and Nian, whom the little fox felt she needed to say hello to as well, since they had both helped her.

"If my sister's coming tonight, it'd be better to call and order a cake later."

Mei Xue is no longer worried about what happened in Lappland, but she is someone she needs to say goodbye to. Also, Talulah is someone she rarely sees again tonight, so she should prepare some good food for her.

If anyone were to see what was happening in the kitchen right now, they would probably be just as frightened as Swire. Blindfolded, Mei Xue was wielding the Crimson Blade, its sharp blade easily slicing vegetables without damaging the cutting board in the slightest. The little fox even had time to daydream about other things.

While pondering what to give, the little fox also began to think about life after arriving at Rhodes Island. He could imagine that it would be completely different from when he first arrived in Lungmen. Many people on Rhodes Island knew him, such as the person named Amiya that Rosemary mentioned.

Regardless of whether he is welcomed or not, the little fox's shyness and caution when facing strangers may hinder him from getting along well with everyone. Moreover, if he encounters a friend he used to be close to, he may feel embarrassed by the friend's enthusiasm.

"Sister~ Dinner's ready~"

As Mei Xue carried the dishes out, she saw Chen Huijie and Talulah staring at each other, completely unaware of his presence. The little fox thought it was because the two older sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and were naturally missing each other; he understood that feeling very well.

Aren't you going to eat?

"eat!"

After regaining their senses, Chen Huijie and Talulah answered in unison, and then tacitly sat down at the table, giving the middle seat to Mei Xue.

Because the little fox only eats vegetables, Chen Huijie and Talulah don't have any conflicts over feeding her. They just quietly reach out and touch Mei Xue's tail a couple of times.

Talulah wasn't too surprised that the little fox had more tails. As long as she knew that the increase in tails was a good thing for Meixue, that was enough for her; the rest didn't matter.

However, the atmosphere during the meal was a bit awkward. Although Mei Xue was chatting with Remian, Chen Huijie and Talulah remained silent. Oh, they were staring at Mei Xue's screen.

Mei Xue didn't shy away from having her sister around at all, and chatted happily with Remiu An. Although Remiu An jokingly said in the afternoon that she would be Mei Xue's girlfriend, she didn't act too intimately. She just chatted casually with Mei Xue about everyday things, such as asking about work.

Does Mei Xue only have fruit for dinner?

【Yes, I don't eat meat】

Lying in bed, Remy looked at the reply on the screen, put down the gun barrel she had just cleaned, and wondered if there was another reason behind it. But she knew very well that some things were better left unasked to avoid upsetting others. For example, it was better to guess for herself than to pry.
