Talulah, I'm still a child.

"What's the current situation with those pardoners?"

"They are also afraid, and even now they still don't want to say what exactly happened back then. It seems it's not that they don't want to... but that they can't."

The pardoners were also afraid. No one knew what Mei Xue and the Doctor had done back then, and they were unwilling to say. Theresis only knew that Mei Xue and the Doctor had taken two people away, and that during their time in Babel, the two of them seemed to always be on missions together and often left to go to other countries.

"Tell them to tone it down."

The main problem now is still guarding against Mei Xue. The curse of misfortune from the little fox is hard to guard against. Assassination is one thing, but who can withstand constant bad luck? Now, not only Theresis himself, but even the Blood Demon Lord has suffered.

According to W, this is only the result of Mei Xue not specifically cursing her. Damn it... no, why is it W who reported this information?

"Where's Garson? Isn't he the squad leader?"

Suddenly, Theresis realized something was wrong. He suddenly had a guess he least wanted to admit: Mei Xue had been taken away by the people of Rhodes Island. She didn't care much about W's betrayal because Garson was the monitor he sent. With Garson's strength, even if W, Ines, and Hedley joined forces, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"I don't know either, but there's something I feel I need to report to you..."

"What's going on? Could it be related to Rhodes Island again?"

"No, it's just that... Ursus has started to garrison troops on the Victoria border."

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Therese was fortunate enough to lean against the bed, but at least he didn't faint. After a long while, he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The electric fan that had fallen and hit his head earlier had been removed.

"*A very inelegant Tikaz profanity*"

————————————————————————————

With the operation time confirmed, the Rhodes Island team immediately began packing. With Mei Xue there, the speed was undoubtedly much faster, since everything except the vehicles could be stuffed into Mei Xue's tail.

Considering the personnel allocation issue, and also to eliminate the possibility of a love rival, Mei Xue was assigned to ride in the same car as Ni Yan. Just then, Little Fox patted her chest and said that she had been learning to drive for a long time in Texas, thus avoiding the embarrassment of Ni Yan not being able to drive.

However, it wasn't until they were in the same car that Mei Xue realized it wasn't Brother Ni Yan, but Sister Ni Yan. After all, Ni Yan had been so bundled up and spoke in a somewhat androgynous way, so Mei Xue had subconsciously assumed she was a boy.

However, the mud rock beneath the mask was exceptionally beautiful, with a rather prominent figure. Beneath the thick armor was a simple outfit that was so revealing it could make one blush, consisting of only two pieces of clothing that used very little fabric.

"So, Sister Mudrock, how are my sister Frostnova and Grandpa Patriot doing?"

After getting in the car and being alone with Mei Xue, she became much more talkative. Little Fox had been wanting to ask about these things for a while, and what he cared about most was undoubtedly the situation of everyone in the Reunion Movement.

So, despite being a little shy, the little fox was more interested in knowing if everyone was doing well, so she mustered up her courage and asked Mudrock in the passenger seat.

“Very good. With the medicines provided by Rhodes Island, our Oripathy is under good control. Captain Frostnova will try to make some shaved ice for everyone, while Mr. Patriot is trying to farm.”

(Of course, they'll also find you a partner; I heard they've already found several candidates.)

Silently complaining to himself, Mudrock looked at the vehicles following behind through the rearview mirror. Normally, when driving in the wilderness, one should pay attention to adjusting the direction at any time, and observe the compass and check the map to avoid getting lost. However, the people of Rhodes Island confidently handed over the navigator position to this little fox. The problem is that Mei Xue doesn't even look at the map.

It can only be said that Mudrock does not understand Meixue enough. This little fox could drive with her eyes closed and would not get lost. Compared to the Reunion Movement's reconnaissance captain, Kingkiller, who could still get lost even while looking at a map and signs, it can only be said that people cannot be generalized.

"What about Sister Alina?"

"Commissar Alina..."

This is a bit difficult to explain. She can't very well tell Mei Xue that Alina's prestige within the Reunion Movement is now on par with that of the Patriots, can she? After all, who would have thought that the gentle and kind Alina could be so ruthless in a fight?

"Has something happened?"

"No, it's just that Commissar Alina is always busy with work and often goes to bed very late or doesn't sleep at all. She doesn't want you to know these things, afraid that you'll worry."

This isn't Mudrock lying; Alina has indeed been working tirelessly for the Reunion Movement. Talulah faces external pressures, while Alina manages internal ones. Both of them are under considerable pressure, and mediating internal relationships is an important task. Fortunately, Alina is very talented and has taught many outstanding students.

"By the way, I have a letter here for you from Mr. Patriot."

Speaking of this, Mud Rock reached into his pocket, took out the letter, and handed it to Mei Xue. However, Little Fox had to drive, so she could only read it later.

The two sat in the same row. The unmodified SUV felt a little cramped under Mei Xue's six tails. Ni Yan always felt that Mei Xue's tails were intentionally or unintentionally teasing him. The fluffy tail tips would scratch her hand or waist from time to time, making him feel a little itchy. However, seeing Mei Xue's focused driving, it seemed that she was not doing it on purpose. Ni Yan could only endure it with a slightly red face.

"Um... Mei Xue, I remember Mr. Patriot said you only had three tails, why did you have six?"

"I don't know either, but everyone says that having more tails is a good thing for me, and I think so too. It's really comfortable to hug and sleep with them at night~ Sister Mud Rock, you can touch them and see."

Perhaps because Mudrock had let down her guard, and because they were both members of the Reunion Movement, the little fox saw her as someone approachable and proactively placed one of its tails in her arms.

Mudrock had heard of Meixue's tail and had witnessed its ability to store things at will, but he had never touched it in person. He had only heard that it felt great to the touch, but after handling it for the first time, Mudrock realized... it's really stress-relieving.

Mud Rock was originally a very polite and reserved person. She would not touch others casually. Even if Mei Xue took the initiative to put her tail in her arms, she only planned to touch it twice. But how should I put it? The other party had taken the initiative to offer her tail. Would it be a waste to just touch it twice?

Thinking of this, Niyan couldn't help but stroke it a few more times, and gradually became more skilled. Meixue's tail was fluffy, and Niyan dared to say that it would be very comfortable to hold it while sleeping.

In the car following behind, Exusiai looked at Texas in the back seat with some confusion.

"Texas, when did Mei Xue learn to drive from you?"

"...that is, some time ago."

Texas seemed a little embarrassed when the topic came up. She couldn't very well say that she was looking for a thrill back then, so she lay down and let Mei Xue use her ear as a steering wheel.

And speaking of driving, Texas did teach Mei Xue some skills, but only a few, including how to accelerate, how to turn the steering wheel and brake, and that was it.

The key point is that Texas didn't expect the little fox to be so rude as to think he could drive. Moreover, judging from the traffic conditions in front, he was driving quite well. Did he really have a training course?

Mei Xue, who was driving while letting Mudrock grope her tail, had only one thought in her mind.

(As expected, Sister Chen's horns feel better to hold, oh, and Sister Talulah's too.)

Chapter 177 The Construction of Homes by the Loli Followers

Today, Iberia remains unchanged. Since the Great Quiet, the entire country has inevitably declined. The coastal towns have undoubtedly been hit the hardest, suffering economic setbacks and population loss. The once-proud sea is no longer a source of livelihood, but a nightmare for everyone.

If there were nowhere else to go, the people of Granfalo would surely leave and settle elsewhere, but that would be difficult; they would have to face this malevolent sea.

But when the residents of Granfalo woke up early this morning, they found many things were not right: the whole town was strangely clean.

Am I dreaming?

Mayor Thiago, who was so cold that he got out of bed, rubbed his eyes. The Granfalo in front of him was indeed exactly the same as the one in his memory, but that was the town decades ago. After the Great Quiet, the whole town fell into decay. The dilapidated houses, potholed roads, and weeds growing in the pubic area all indicated the town's decline.

But now, he's only been asleep for a while and just woken up. Can anyone tell him what happened? Why has the whole town suddenly reverted to what it was decades ago?

"It's like it was just built..."

A surprised Thiago muttered to himself, after all, the scene before him was truly unbelievable. He pinched himself hard and found that he was not dreaming.

Meanwhile, exclamations of surprise could be heard from the residents around them as they got up. After all, the town had changed too much. However, Thiago suddenly heard some strange noises.

Where are my clothes that I hung out to dry?

"Mine is gone too!"

"Where did the refrigerator go from my convenience store?!"

"Wait, where's the trash can in front of my house?"

"Oh no! Where's my car?"

These sounds made Thiago frown in exasperation. How could someone have even lost their car?

Thinking of this, the elderly but still robust man threw off the covers, put on his slippers, and prepared to wake his adopted son. However, when he tried to step up the stairs, he found that he couldn't reach them.

Only now did he realize why he had felt so uncomfortable all along.

"Damn it, my house is gone?!"

As people gradually awoke, they discovered that while the town had been completely transformed, something was missing. From a small item like a lighter to larger items like Thiago's house and even the town's church, everything had been moved away. All of this happened overnight, yet the entire town seemed completely unaware.

Such an eeriness was chilling. Thiago could guess what would happen next without even thinking. The court would soon notice these anomalies, and the entire town would be questioned. Some things would inevitably be exposed. Amaya had also been missing for several days.

"So, did you find anything?"

"At all the theft sites, only some damp pieces of paper were left, and nothing else."

The townspeople weren't professionally trained investigators, after all. Although the town had been renovated, the sheer number of things stolen was frightening. Although most of the items were clothes, they were mostly women's clothing, and some people had their doors locked when the thefts occurred.

Thiago now knew he couldn't prevent the court from investigating. Although everyone in town was afraid of them, it also proved their trust in their abilities. However, this meant he would have to send his adopted son... no, his adopted son?!

"Damn it, where's my Jody?!"

The answer is: They're still sleeping, or more accurately, sleeping in their own bed. To prevent things from being damaged, the Sirens found a huge sea monster last night and had it float on the surface to drag the things away.

So despite the slight jolt, Jody slept soundly. When she slowly woke up, she found herself surrounded by several dressed lolis, who looked like Agorians, but some had tentacles and others had shells on their backs, which made her feel a chill involuntarily.

Especially the one with the pliers on her left hand, she was curiously looking at Jody through the blanket, then her gaze fixed on his lower body, the sharp pliers in her hand moved slightly, and then she looked at Jody somewhat embarrassed.

"Excuse me, I just wanted to ask if you would like to join our Lucky God Cult and become one of our sisters?"

"Aaaaaaah!" (Groundhog screams)

Actually, it was Amaya's fault. Having inherited the memories of the Liberian Amaya, she only knew that she had recently bought that house, but she didn't know that Thiago and Jodi hadn't moved out yet.

However, she was still taken aback when she saw her sisters carrying such a huge pile of things to their new home. She had only told them to collect materials, but they didn't expect them to take everything.

"Hey sis, can this thing really generate electricity? It doesn't seem very reliable to me..."

"Then why did you bring me a refrigerator?"

"I...I just think those ice creams taste really good."

Number 16 scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. Amaya rolled her eyes at her helplessly, then looked up at the tall and majestic lighthouse. It once belonged to Iberia, a beacon for that country to look out to the sea. But as many know, arrogance and ignorance bring destruction, and those who attempted to conquer the ocean were no exception.

However, they still left behind many valuable things, such as the tall lighthouse on this isolated island. It was designed by a brilliant scientist from Agor, combining ocean and land technologies. It can use Originium as an energy source and can also absorb a certain amount of wind and tidal energy for its own use. Of course, these are all things left in the memories of the Amayas.

"Big sister, what should we do with these people?"

"Hmm... collect their remains and bury them one by one... no, let's find time to transport them back one by one. I remember No. 85 took their ship. Anyway, these aren't ours, so there's no point in keeping them."

Hundreds and thousands of corpses lay on the reefs of the isolated island, gripping swords and guns, still in their fighting postures, advancing one after another even knowing certain death.

Amaya didn't understand them when she was a Sealing, but now that she has evolved into a Siren, she finds that she possesses both the Sealing's collective mentality and the human's thought process, and she can actually understand their behavior. According to the evaluations on land, these people can be considered heroes.

"By the way, how is Jody?"

"Ah... oh, you mean the person we brought back with us? He'll probably wake up soon."

"Well, that's good. I remember he seemed to know a bit about these Iberian things. Bringing him back by accident is a good thing for us..."

Amaya pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized a possibility: was it also Mei Xue's fortune that was secretly influencing the development of the Sirens' race, that Jodi had been brought here inexplicably? Because the Sirens had only recently evolved, their sea-like nature was destined to have a long-lasting impact on them, and this race needed more intelligent people.

Amaya is a scholar and writer, but not a scientist, while Jodi has done some research on the tower.

Thinking of this, Amaya couldn't help but pat her chest, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness, Mei Xue, this person really came at the perfect time."

As for what would happen if there were a man among the group of Siren lolis? Forget it, these girls are all Mei Xue fans. They're still thinking about whether to just have Jody become their best friend and join the Cult of Luck so they can all worship Mei Xue together.

"Oh right, did you tell Thiago again, as I said, that the items were only temporarily borrowed?"

"Of course we have. We clearly left an IOU stating that we will repay them later. Those low-level sea monsters are already digging up the Iberian shipwrecks and gold coins."
