Talulah, I'm still a child.

Although she was shocked, Amiya kept her expression to herself. Controlling her emotions was an important skill that the Doctor had taught her, but she was still very unhappy. After all, Amiya had only ever been kissed on the cheek by Mei Xue.

When she was little, she was shy, so she always tried to get Meixue to take the initiative. But Meixue didn't understand any of this at the time. When they slept, Meixue would simply hug her or hug her tail.

In addition, with Theresa and the Doctor as her biggest rivals at the time, Amiya became much more restrained and didn't want to directly express her feelings to Mei Xue.

Thank you~

Although he still had no memory of Amiya, the polite little fox would definitely thank him. In fact, Mei Xue himself was also thinking about whether to treat Amiya as a younger sister or a friend he had just met, given that he only had feelings to rely on but no memories to rely on.

If they had just met, he did feel joy and guilt because of Amiya, but if they were siblings, he couldn't remember anything about them.

(Just as Kal'tsit and the Doctor said, wishes can cause memories to be reset, shrinking psychological age along with the memory, but the inner self remains completely unchanged, which is a good thing.)

Theresa, hidden within Amiya's body, directly shared her vision and analyzed Mei Xue's current situation. Although Theresa herself had forgotten many things, she hadn't completely forgotten her past.

The Doctor seems to know more about Mei Xue's abilities than Kal'tsit does. I remember when the little fox was kidnapped to Rhodes Island, the Doctor knew he had to coax her properly.

(Unfortunately, the Doctor is still lying in her coffin. Hopefully, she can offer some help then.)

Theresa sighed helplessly. Right now, the most important thing is the emotional battlefield. It's clear that Amiya is at a disadvantage now, with Lily of the Valley and Rosemary far ahead.

However, what Theresa really couldn't understand was how Lily of the Valley and Rosemary, even if they were good friends with Plum Blossom, ended up sleeping together.

Thinking about it carefully, Lily of the Valley is a very reserved and good girl, Rosemary is not the kind of person who is passionate, and Snowy is so simple that she can be coaxed into bed with just a few words. If the three of them are together, there is no way anything will happen without a catalyst. But... why are Lily of the Valley and Rosemary thinking about how to lure Snowy into their tents?

Kal'tsit, far away on Rhodes Island, suddenly sneezed, frowned, took out a thermometer to check her temperature, and after finding that she didn't have a cold, continued to devote herself to her work.

With the return of Mei Xue and the Doctor, Rhodes Island is bound to enter a period of rapid development. The seeds planted earlier have already sprouted and grown. In the underground that many people cannot see, whether it is Columbia or Minos, there are roots extending towards Rhodes Island from any region of this land.

"Doctor's assets in Columbia, Mei Xue's special status in Great Yan, Kazdel goes without saying, and I never expected that even Bolivar's Dosoles would have connections with Rhodes Island... PRTS, did the Doctor ask you to keep all this information?"

"Yes, according to the lock setting, this file will be unlocked after either the Doctor or Mei Xue returns to Rhodes Island."

The mechanical, synthesized female voice was cold and intellectual, answering Kal'tsit's question without any concealment.

"What about their original plan?"

"Data not loaded".

(Tsk, that guy... I'm definitely going to hang her up in the sun for a couple of days later.)

Kal'tsit frowned. This kind of thing was getting more and more annoying the more she thought about it. Back then, the three who were recognized as the core group of the Tower of Babel were her, Theresa and the Doctor, as well as Mei Xue, who was an unofficial mascot. How come it seems that she, Kal'tsit, has become the one who knows nothing?

She didn't know why the Doctor was targeting Theresa, nor did she know what wish the girl had made. In the end, even Mei Xue herself didn't understand the wish-making mechanism, yet the Doctor had managed to find and exploit a loophole in the rules.

The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off, but she still had to work overtime to organize the data. Kal'tsit had wondered why Rhine Lab was sending talent here all the time. She only knew that the Doctor's film company was making money every year, but she never expected that Rhine Lab had her shadow in it.

"Could it be that the Flame Demon Project is behind... No, that's unlikely. The Doctor would never agree to such a plan."

Shaking her head to clear her mind, Kal'tsit decided to ask the Doctor about the situation when he returned, or simply ask Rhine Lab for clarification.

However, Ifrit, the key figure in the Balrog Project she was talking about, was eating when she suddenly sneezed and almost sprayed her food onto the face of the white owl opposite her.

"Question: Does Ifrit need treatment?"

"Oh? No need, no need. It's just an itchy nose. I don't want to be dragged to get a shot."

Recalling the sharp needles in the medical department, Ifrit, who was usually fearless, shook her head with a cold expression, mainly because she found that the Rhodes Island medical department was simply a bunch of monsters.

That green guy named Gavial can box with Saria, fine, but what's with that pink-haired crossdresser who can throw bandages and smash through steel plates? And ifrit went berserk once before, and then Shining who happened to be passing by beat her up.

And that old woman with green hair, so arrogant, and speaking in a way that's hard to understand, she looks like nobody wants her.

However, compared to those, the rumors circulating recently are more worthy of discussion for Ifrit, which is why she invited White Owl to dinner today.

"Sister Joyce, do you know who this Mei Xue is?"

Mei Xue and the Doctor's return was no secret to the people of Rhodes Island. Although Saria said that Mei Xue was Ifrit's nominal brother, she still felt something was wrong. After hearing that Mei Xue was coming back, Saria was grinning like an idiot all day long, as if she were possessed.

After being beaten up for trying to trick her into going to a psychiatrist for a checkup and finding nothing wrong, Ifrit turned to the White Owl for help.

"Searching..."

As she said this, Ifrit thought it was just the white-faced owl's strange way of speaking, but little did she know that a series of data streams were indeed flashing through her brain.

"Answer: Mei Xue, one of Rhine Lab's sponsors, has a close relationship with former Defense Department Director Seria, and they are rumored to be lovers. She is the provider of Genome No. 9."

"Then wouldn't he be..."

Ifrit suddenly realized that things might be far more complicated than she had imagined. Wasn't Gene 9 the thing that Saria used to save her? White Owl nodded in agreement with her guess.

"Perhaps, he is your father."

Chapter 171 Mei Xue's Rhodes Island Past

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone started talking about Mei Xue, but the little fox didn't remember any of the things they mentioned. For example, being chased around by the doctor with a sack, sneaking into the kitchen to steal snacks even though there was food in her tail, always carrying a pillow and sleeping whenever she was sleepy, and sometimes even sleeping openly on the conference room table.

Of course, Mei Xue's dark history doesn't stop there. For example, she was tricked by Theresa into wearing a skirt, tricked by the Doctor into confessing to Kal'tsit, coaxed by Kal'tsit into having an online relationship with Kroos in order to lure her to Babel, and shamelessly acted cute and meowed like a cat for a piece of cake. In fact, many of Rhodes Island's talents were seduced by the little fox and brought to the island. Well, most of them were women.

Mei Xue, who was standing to the side with her tail between her legs, listened to these things about herself and felt more and more embarrassed. She even wished she could find a place to crawl into and hide. She never thought that she would do so many shameful things in the past.

Ah, of course, the little fox doesn't feel anything about wearing short skirts, confessing her feelings, or having an online romance. After all, Mei Xue doesn't feel particularly ashamed of these things. However, she does feel very embarrassed about sleeping soundly in the corridor with a pillow in her arms.

Mei Xue always felt that her sleeping posture wasn't very attractive, and the little fox would occasionally kick off the blankets, often getting teased by Talulah for exposing her belly.

"So Mei Xue's past is so fascinating..."

Exusiai couldn't help but sigh. She had thought that Mei Xue had become so cute because of amnesia, but she never expected that the little fox had always had this personality. She was really cute, and people always wanted to tease her.

"But that's not all. He was tricked by Kal'tsit into having an online romance with Kroos, and he actually got all of her home address and personal information."

Speaking of this ACE makes me laugh. To this day, it's still a joke on Rhodes Island. It's said that after getting the information, Theresa went straight to Kroos's house and dragged her out. The Doctor even tricked Kroos into signing a contract with the excuse that "Mei Xue is my younger brother".

Then Kroos realized she'd been tricked. The person she was chatting with via voice and listening to her complaints was Mei Xue, but the one who would occasionally flirt was the Doctor himself. This made Kroos always feel awkward around Mei Xue. She thought Mei Xue was flirting because she'd finally figured things out, but it turned out she'd been tricked.

If it weren't for the fact that Mei Xue actually gave her hugs and kisses, Kroos would never have stayed.

"So Mei Xue is quite charming."

Looking at the little fox over there who was so shy that she covered herself with her tail, Huang couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she had heard that Kroos had such a shameful past. No wonder that guy said he would raise prices as much as possible for her when the Doctor came back.

"Wait a minute, what's the deal with Mei Xue confessing her feelings to Kal'tsit?"

Shining raised her hand. Although she wasn't a gossip, she couldn't resist the sheer amusement of the story. In all the time she'd known Kal'tsit, this was the first time she'd ever heard of someone daring to confess their feelings to her.

"You mean this? We're not really sure about that."

"None of you know?"

"Nonsense, do you dare ask Kal'tsit?"

Scout helplessly spread his hands. Indeed, asking Kal'tsit about such a question was probably suicidal. Although no one knew the outcome of that confession, judging from Kal'tsit's subsequent actions of chasing the Doctor with M3, she was probably just angry and embarrassed.

"Does Amiya know about this?"

"I...I don't know either."

Of course, this was a lie. In reality, Amiya knew everything about it. At that time, she thought Kal'tsit was going to take Meixue away, and she cried as she asked Theresa if Meixue would no longer be able to sleep with her. Only then did she realize that it was all a prank by the Doctor.

However, Kal'tsit agreed at that time. Yes, she readily agreed to Mei Xue's confession, which was beyond the expectations of the Doctor and Theresa. Although they knew that Kal'tsit not only coveted the little fox, but also always did some improper things to him under the pretext of "physical examination", they thought that Kal'tsit would need some time to consider.

Upon hearing Mei Xue's confession, Kal'tsit was so surprised that she dropped her coffee cup. Just when the Doctor thought she would blush and politely refuse, she smiled and agreed to Mei Xue's request, even offering to help the little fox move into her dormitory.

Of course, it's only natural that Kal'tsit would get angry after learning that it was all just a prank by the Doctor. The Doctor was suspended for several days until Mei went to Kal'tsit and offered to "sleep with her for three days" in exchange for being released.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Amiya realized that the Doctor was probably the one who liked to cause trouble the most in the entire Tower of Babel, and he always had a bunch of crazy ideas, such as issuing "Mei Xue Touch Coupons" and "Mei Xue Dining Coupons" to motivate everyone in the Tower of Babel. During that time, you even had to keep a Touch Coupon safe to prevent it from being stolen.

"So, our mission this time is to bring that doctor back?"

"Yes, with the help of the Reunion Movement, this operation will go much more smoothly than we expected. We can prepare to set off tomorrow when they send people over."

(Tomorrow, I wonder who will come.)

The little fox wagged his tail as he pondered the question. He hoped to see familiar faces tomorrow, such as Frostnova or Alina, but unfortunately, Grandpa Patriot was too busy to come.

Meanwhile, Mudrock, who had just set off from the Reunion Movement, fell into deep thought. Looking at the letter in her hand that Patriot had asked her to pass on to Mei Xue, she couldn't help but feel uneasy about their meeting tomorrow.

"What's wrong, Mudstone? Are you worried about what kind of person your future fiancé will be?"

Mudrock said nothing in the face of his old teammates' teasing. He simply put the letter away and silently raised his sledgehammer, which could instantly knock out a person's consciousness and life.

"No, no, no! I was wrong, okay?!"

A strong will to survive led Sarkaz's teammate to change his tune, but he was also frustrated. Mudrock was so cute when he was a child, but now he always wants to swing a hammer. How is he going to get married if he keeps doing this?

"Stop joking, actually... the brothers all care about this a lot."

"I know."

"Yes, you know that's good. After all, we watched you grow up. We'd really hate to send you away, but we also hope you can find a good family."

For these old buddies, Mudrock's infected status was the thing they felt most guilty about. They had originally planned to find a good man for Mudrock to marry when she grew up, because even among the Sarkaz, Mudrock's appearance and temperament were quite outstanding, and she wouldn't have trouble finding someone who liked her.

But later, Mudstone contracted mineral disease and had to wander with these big, burly guys.

Now that someone is finally willing to take their adopted daughter, although they are reluctant to part with her, these men have more of a hope. They really hope that Niyan can get rid of her current life and that she deserves a better life.

"But I am your captain."

"I know you're good at fighting, but don't you really consider how we feel?"

"How do you feel..."

Mud Rock muttered to herself, but she knew in her heart that everyone was doing it for her own good. They always treated her like a father or brother, and she didn't want to abandon her companions and enjoy the good life alone.

“Yes, we’re just waiting to hold our grandchildren. I’m telling you, that would put me in the same generation as Patriots—ah!”

All that was heard was a scream. Mud Rock put down the blood-stained iron hammer and began to seriously consider this nominal gathering, which was actually a blind date.

Looking at Mei Xue, who was much shorter than him in the photo, Ni Yan glanced at himself fully armed in the mirror. Would he be scared if he appeared in front of Mei Xue like this?

However, it's unclear what makes this little fox so special that Patriots are so worried about him that they even lowered themselves to act as matchmakers.

However, a new problem now faces Ni Yan: what should she say and do after meeting Mei Xue? After all, she has never been in a relationship before and knows absolutely nothing about it, let alone planning a blind date. Besides, the environment isn't suitable, is it?

This really gave Mud Rock a headache, and he could only take it one step at a time, hoping that Mei Xue was indeed an easy-going person, just as Mr. Patriot had said.

————————————————————————

On Rhodes Island, Ifrit, who had just finished her homework last night, was idly strolling around, looking at the shops on both sides, wondering what to buy.

After learning that Mei Xue was the provider of Gene No. 9, Ifrit was very upset because she didn't know what to say when she saw Mei Xue. So she came here to buy something as a thank-you gift. If it weren't for the gene provided by Mei Xue, she would probably be dead long ago.

Although it is just a mobile mothership, Rhodes Island has a fairly large interior space. It even has a commercial street that sells all kinds of snacks and daily necessities. Of course, there are also beauty and hair services. For example, Himeru occasionally comes here to have her feathers polished and waxed.

However, as she looked around, Ifrit's eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. It was Saria, who had just returned from a mission. She stood at the entrance of a beauty salon, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go inside.
