Talulah, I'm still a child.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

If Mei Xue hadn't interrupted her in time, Skadi would probably have turned into Isamara again soon. Although she wouldn't be abnormal after waking up, if this happened too many times, one day she wouldn't be Skadi anymore when she woke up.

"It's good that my sister is alright~"

Although Mei Xue really wanted Skadi to tell her more about the past, not just their daily interactions, Mei Xue felt that Skadi might not be in a good state right now, and that Skadi's reluctance to talk about it yesterday must have been due to her own considerations.

The little fox didn't intend to pry; he would find the answer himself. More than anything, he was worried about Skadi's condition. She looked pale and didn't seem as fine as she claimed.

Thinking of this, Mei Xue reached into her tail and touched it, then took out a red apple and handed it to Skadi.

"Sister, do you want some?"

When Mei Xue took out the apple, Skadi could sense that Isamara's side suddenly became excited. Clearly, this apple was useful to Isamara; at least it wasn't just food.

Thank you~

Skadi took the apple and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet, and the juice dripped down her chin. Skadi immediately realized why Isamara needed this, because when she took the first bite, the influence from Isamara diminished significantly. No, it should be said that her own condition stabilized considerably.

This apple has the effect of stabilizing self-awareness, but it seems to only have this effect on the first bite.

Mei Xue also took out an apple and ate it, while the little fox's tail swayed gently as she and Skadi admired the magnificent moonlit sea.

Skadi munched on an apple while carefully observing Mei Xue sitting in her lap. Mei Xue was almost too cute, and her wagging tail made Skadi unable to resist reaching out to touch it. Mei Xue, whose tail was being grabbed, didn't get angry. Instead, she put her tail back into Skadi's lap.

Skadi pondered this generosity for a moment, her not-so-thoughtful brain working its magic.

"Would you like to touch my hair?"

"Okay~"

Everything seemed harmonious, yet strangely unsettling. Skadi was unaware that she seemed to trust and like Mei Xue. Her long time with Isamara had already merged with her, and she had naturally inherited a considerable amount of emotion, including her love for Mei Xue.

Touching the little fox's tail is addictive, and Skadi also enjoys the feeling of Mei Xue stroking her hair. However, while holding the little fox like this, she actually has an urge to try kissing him.

It goes without saying that it was because of Isamara, but looking at Mei Xue's lips so close to hers, Skadi found that she was actually falling for her.

"Meixue, would you like to hear a story?"

"miss you!"

"In that case... give me a kiss, and I'll tell you a story."

Skadi gently hugged Mei Xue and rubbed his ears. She felt something was wrong with herself. She was actually saying such things to a little boy she had only met twice, no, only once. Even in Agor, this would be a capital offense.

"Okay~"

Mei Xue's answer was decisive and straightforward. The little fox hugged Skadi and kissed her on the lips, then twitched its fox ears and licked away the dried apple juice from the corner of her mouth.

Then, the next moment, Mei Xue sensed a change in Skadi. She held Mei Xue tightly, letting his head rest against her soft chest, and her mood seemed to improve instantly.

Can you kiss me again?

Skadi's expression is still rather cold compared to before, but her eyes are completely different. The little fox nodded and kissed her again.

Isamara felt great now. It was worth it for her to subtly influence Skadi's feelings for Mei Xue all along. Plus, Mei Xue herself was quite effective. Skadi subconsciously asked for intimate contact with her. Skadi's shyness caused her to waver, giving Isamara an opportunity to take advantage and regain the initiative.

In fact, Isamara and Skadi were already one at this moment. She and Skadi shared each other's feelings, and it was normal for Skadi to fall in love with Mei Xue unconsciously. However, out of her own insistence, Isamara still felt that there were some things she had to do herself.

"Sister, what's today's story?"

"Today, I'll tell you about Agor."

There are too many things about Mei Xue's past that Isamara doesn't know. Even if she does know some things, she can't tell him now. So she can only choose to tell Mei Xue some trivial things to satisfy her curiosity.

Holding Mei Xue, Skadi walked to the soft sand and sat down. She gently nibbled on the little fox's ear, her hands beginning to wander consciously, even her voice carrying a hint of seduction.

“Come here, Meixue~ I’ll teach you some Agor etiquette, like kissing when you apologize, showing your belly, or…”

Since Mei Xue didn't know what Agor was like, Isamara simply lied. Skadi, who was being suppressed by Isamara, began to resist, seemingly despising Isamara's behavior.

(Stop joking, we're basically the same person. If I'm comfortable, you're comfortable. If you can't stand it later, we'll just switch to someone else.)

After Isamara finished thinking these things to herself, Skadi's resistance clearly wavered, but more importantly, she had to fool Mei Xue first.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Chen Huijie felt her hands were a little warm, while Talulah was quite shy, unaware that her dear younger sister was secretly causing trouble. She instinctively assumed Mei Xue was having some kind of dream about winter passing. (It seems that wasn't entirely wrong.)

She felt a little happy. This meant that Mei Xue had feelings for her in that way, which meant she no longer had to worry about being slapped to the floor by the extremely shy little fox's tail.

The next moment, a burning sensation spread to Chen Huijie's hands and Talulah's feet, but before Talulah could confirm whether Chen Huijie had fallen asleep, Chen Huijie felt that Talulah must have really fallen asleep.

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but prop herself up with one hand to check, but found that Talulah really had her eyes closed. She was secretly delighted, gently covered Mei Xue's mouth with one hand, then licked her other hand clean and gently patted Mei Xue's shoulder, trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake Talulah.

"Mei Xue, Mei Xue, wake up quickly."

Even someone as good at sleeping as Mei Xue couldn't fall back asleep after being repeatedly teased by Chen Huijie. The little fox opened her sleepy eyes and found Chen Huijie looking at her with shining eyes.

"What's wrong, sister? Is it dawn yet?"

"Of course not... I meant, do you still want to play the games we played before?"

"Uh, um."

Mei Xue nodded firmly, because Sister Ruskati was just about to play with him in the dream, but Mei Xue was woken up after she made a move, so she really needed to release her excess energy.

"Alright~ Be careful not to disturb Talulah."

"Isn't Talulah coming along?"

"She is..."

Chen Huijie was about to say that she was sleeping, but the next moment, Talulah, who was not asleep at all, opened her eyes, sat up in bed, hugged Mei Xue with one arm, and stared intently at Chen Huijie with her golden eyes.

"My dear sister, can you tell me what 'the previous game' means?"

Talulah's sudden awakening startled Chen Huijie so much that she almost drew her sword, Chixiao. The little fox was also startled by her murderous intent, but he knew that his good sister would not hurt him, so he opened his arms, hugged Talulah's waist, buried his face in her chest, and rubbed against her. Hmm, she seems to be a little smaller than Skadi.

"Sister, wanna play together?"

"……OK."

When facing Mei Xue, Talulah seamlessly switched back to her gentle older sister persona. Although she didn't know exactly what Chen Huijie was talking about, since he was keeping it from her, it was obvious that everyone understood.

Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Chen Huijie didn't know what to say. If Mei Xue hadn't been there, Talulah would probably have started a fight with her. But now, there was no way to hide it anymore.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that Mei Xue actually got a great deal.

"So what exactly is this game you're talking about...?"

"It's a game where we become a family!"

Meixue wagged her tail and pounced on Talulah, then quickly understood what it was all about. At the same time, a question arose in her mind: Where did Meixue learn this messy knowledge from?

Meanwhile, in Skadi's dream, having changed all her clothes, she looked at the empty beach in front of her and suddenly felt an indescribable sadness. She had prepared herself mentally, but then Mei Xue woke up!

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Chapter 164 Plum Blossom's Farewell... Sister Ghost, what are you doing?

The next morning, Skadi woke up looking gloomy. Mei Xue's sudden disappearance in her dream last night was quite disappointing. She really wanted to go back to sleep to see if the little fox would appear, but she had tried to do sit-ups in bed several times yesterday without success.

"So it really was just a dream..."

With a helpless sigh, Skadi got out of bed and changed into her Deepsea Hunter outfit, but she suddenly thought she could try having Rhodes Island make her a set of the same clothes she had dreamed about yesterday.

Although the dress was indeed a bit revealing, Skadi hadn't planned to wear it out; she was just trying it on herself.

After changing her clothes and washing up, Skadi planned to go out for breakfast and then go to pick up a field mission, while also inquiring about Agor and seeing if there were any other survivors like herself.

But coincidentally, two operators from the medical department happened to pass by her, discussing something that was almost common knowledge on Rhodes Island during this period.

"Have you heard? Rhodes Island is bringing that mysterious doctor back this time."

"Really? I heard that the one they're bringing back isn't that... Mei Xue guy?"

"It seems like two of them are coming back."

The familiar name startled Skadi, and without a word, she strode up to the two men.

"Wait a moment."

"Is there something you need, Miss Skadi?"

As a highly mysterious person on Rhodes Island, Skadi rarely interacts with others. She only occasionally goes to the bar on Rhodes Island for a few drinks, and leaves immediately afterward. It is truly rare for her to take the initiative to talk to people like this.

"You just said Mei Xue is coming back, who is this Mei Xue?"

"We don't know about that. It seems to be a partner from a long time ago. According to the seniors, he was a Walper with many tails."

"..."

Skadi fell into deep thought. People always subconsciously ignore their dreams after waking up. She thought that Mei Xue was just a character constructed in her dream, but she didn't expect that he actually existed. So that means... he knows Isamara and is also a member of Rhodes Island. Will he still remember her after he wakes up?

“Miss Skadi, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave.”

"Ah...you can go now, thank you."

Skadi returned to her bed somewhat absentmindedly. Looking at herself in the mirror, she didn't know if she was happy to see Mei Xue or if Isamara was smiling. Her influence on her was becoming deeper and deeper. Although her thought patterns and memories had not been affected yet, her emotions were indeed being disturbed.

Mei Xue, far away in Lungmen, was unaware of Skadi's feelings, but he did indeed hope to meet Skadi in reality. Of course, the little fox had other things to do right now.

"To Chernobog?"

The little fox hugged its tail and looked at the emperor sitting on the sofa, who nodded very affirmatively.

"Yes, this is also the conclusion reached after discussions between Lungmen, Rhodes Island, and the Reunion Movement. On the surface, Penguin Logistics is to cooperate with Rhodes Island's operations, but in reality, you are secretly sent there to meet up with Rhodes Island."

Are we leaving tomorrow?

"Well, so pack your things when you get back today. I know it's a bit rushed, but things never go as planned... Okay, maybe things will go your way."

The Emperor thought about it carefully. If Mei Xue herself was willing, this operation would probably be postponed for various reasons. However, since the plan is still in place, it proves that the little fox is not dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"Are Sister Neng and the others going too?"

"Well, I plan to have them serve as dedicated messengers for Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics. They'll be stationed there permanently, which will also help protect you. But it seems you already have Mostima. Where is she?"

After saying this, the emperor looked around, but he couldn't find the blue-haired fallen angel.

"Maybe they're still resting?"

The little fox wagged its tail. Mostima seemed quite tired last night. According to Alina, this was called being weak. The little fox was thinking of buying something to nourish her this afternoon.

Oh right, and there's also Sister Talulah and Sister Chen Huijie. Last night, the two of them were competing to see who could last the longest, and they didn't fall asleep until 7 a.m. (Actually, they couldn't hold on and fainted). As a result, Mei Xue didn't sleep last night either, and she's a little sleepy now.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Emperor, Sister Aneng and the others have gone to make preparations. What should I do?"
