Talulah, I'm still a child.

"...Then where did you get the pens?"

Amaya suddenly realized something was wrong. These sirens still needed more practice to walk, how could they write and even write IOUs?

"No, we wrote it with our tentacles dipped in water."

"ink?"

"what is that?"

Seeing her best friend scratching her head with both hands and two tentacles in front of her with a blank expression, Amaya suddenly felt the heavy burden of the entire tribe on her shoulders. She couldn't help but hope that the next night would come quickly. Last night, the Siren Sealings were busy moving things and didn't have time to respond to the call in her dream. She just hoped that Mei Xue wouldn't blame her.

In fact, the little fox really wouldn't blame him. He had been driving all day yesterday and was still full of energy, completely unaware of what great things his little girl followers had done.

It wasn't that no one called to ask if he needed to stop and switch shifts, but the little fox said it was no problem. He was always energetic. Well... actually, his tail was being held by Mudrock, and the little fox didn't want to disturb Mudrock's sweet dreams. Luckily, it didn't affect normal driving.

It's understandable that Mudrock would feel sleepy. They had traveled a long way to the Rhodes Island base the day before yesterday, and after a meeting, they had to go back in less than two hours. They didn't have any time to rest. Perhaps because Mei Xue drove so smoothly, Mudrock fell asleep in his chair while hugging his tail.

The little fox wanted to slow down so that Mudrock could rest better, but he soon discovered an awkward problem: he couldn't slow down.

Well, starting, steering, and braking were the only three things Texas taught Mei Xue. Accelerating and inserting the key were things Mei Xue learned from Chen Huijie and Talulah. They said it seemed to be the way in Syracuse, so it's normal that Texas would like it. But the little fox didn't even know which gear was reverse.

"Hmm... I fell asleep?"

Although Mei Xue always chose a smooth route, the ride was inevitably bumpy, and Ni Yan still woke up. However, she didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, she subconsciously buried her head in Mei Xue's tail and rubbed against it.

"Sister Mudrock, you're awake. Would you like something to eat?"

"Ah...we haven't had dinner yet?"

"It's already the next morning, here, take this~"

Mei Xue took out two soft breads and a bag of milk from her tail and handed them over. Ni Yan noticed that the things were still warm. No wonder they always needed to have Mei Xue with them when they were out and about.

"You said it was the next day, so does that mean you haven't rested at all?"

"Well, it didn't affect me much, I'm still very energetic~ After all, this is my first time driving."

Mei Xue wagged his tail happily, still feeling the novelty of driving. Judging from his expression, he wasn't just putting on a brave face; the little fox seemed to really enjoy the feeling of driving. However, Mud Rock, who was eating breakfast, could always hear him muttering to himself.

"This steering wheel doesn't feel very good... It's much worse than what Sister Chen and Sister Talulah have."

"This car isn't going fast enough. It has four wheels, but it's much slower than me."

The more Mei Xue thought about it, the more she felt that this car wasn't quite right. The little fox decided that she would definitely buy a car that was really fast and had good handling.

Although she didn't know why the feel of the steering wheel was related to her leader, Mud Rock still had to admit that the little fox's tail was really comfortable, and Mei Xue herself was also very cute. She didn't reject this blind date from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, this only applies to first impressions. Mudrock has no intention of starting a romantic relationship with Meixue so easily. This little fox doesn't even know that the Sarkaz sitting next to her is the person Patriot found for her.

"Mei Xue, I want to ask... do you hate infected people?"

"I don't dislike it."

The little fox hummed a song softly. He didn't really hate the infected. So why would he hate them?

"But people outside say that infected people are bad people."

"That must be a lie."

Mei Xue shook her head decisively, her tail swaying in agreement. As she spoke, she laughed as if she had remembered something.

"Sister Talulah, Sister Alina and Sister Frostnova, Grandpa Patriot, Inossasha, Sister Chen and Sister Lappland... They are all infected, but they are not bad people."

"Good people won't become bad because of the mineral disease, and bad people won't become good because of the infection. What should distinguish people's goodness or badness, and their intelligence or stupidity, is their behavior. It's unreasonable to label people based on such reasons... Hmm, how strange, when did I say something so reasonable?"

The little fox always felt that these were not words he would say himself. He preferred to speak frankly rather than reason. It was more like a shadow from his memory; perhaps someone had said these words to him before.

"Is that so? Just like Mr. Patriot and the others said, you are really likable."

Mudstone couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time she had heard someone speak so clearly and directly about the key points. Mei Xue was indeed quite surprising.

"Of course~ Oh right~ Sister Mudrock is a good person too!"

As Mei Xue spoke, she deliberately stretched out her tail and touched the Originium crystal on Ni Yan's waist. This was a very dangerous act, because if she was scratched, the little fox might also become infected. This action frightened Ni Yan so much that he grabbed Mei Xue's tail and looked at her carefully for a while.

On one hand, she was worried about being killed by a patriot's spear; on the other hand, she sincerely believed that Mei Xue should not have to endure the suffering she had gone through, and that he should have a stable and happy life, just like his appearance.

"Sister, feel free to hug me if you want~ But I have something I want to ask you."

"Ok?"

Which brake should I press?

Ni Yan had thought Mei Xue would ask some profound or personal questions, and she was even prepared to introduce herself, such as having no dating experience. But when she heard Mei Xue ask this question, a string of symbols seemed to suddenly pop into her head.

"?????"

But after a while, she seemed to suddenly realize why Mei Xue had asked that question, and suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Whether she genuinely forgot how to brake unintentionally or intentionally found a funny topic to amuse herself and relax, Mei Xue successfully improved Ni Yan's mood considerably, and she gently shook her head.

"I do not know either."

Seeing Mudrock's appearance, the little fox also felt embarrassed and covered his slightly flushed face with his tail, because he had really forgotten.

Chapter 178 The Money Printing Machine - Mei Xue

As it turns out, the little fox's luck was indeed unreasonable. Even while talking and chatting with Mudrock, he was able to drive very steadily and still reach his destination directly.

"So, Mei Xue, you're actually from the Great Yan?"

"Hmm, the name itself makes it quite clear, right?"

The little fox squinted and wagged his tail slightly. Seeing that Chernobog was just ahead, he began to seriously consider how to stop the car.

Just as this thought popped into Mei Xue's mind, he suddenly felt the car under his feet stop, but the little fox hadn't let go of the accelerator yet.

(Well, it's good that it stopped at all.)

Mei Xue wagged her tail, opened the car door, and jumped out. Ni Yan looked at his empty hands with some reluctance. Mei Xue's tail was really great.

However, Niyan suddenly remembered that they had already arrived at their destination, and her outfit was not suitable for others to see. It couldn't even be called revealing; it was far too over the top.

So Niyan hurriedly got dressed and got out of the car.

Despite traveling all night, the Rhodes Island team was not tired. This kind of mission was a piece of cake for them. They were just more concerned about the little fox's mental state, since he really hadn't slept yesterday and had led everyone all the way to the outskirts of Chernobog.

"Brother Meixue, would you like to rest here for a while? We'll be back soon."

Seeing the little fox yawn and stretch, Amiya thought it would be fine to leave Mei Xue outside the city to provide support for this mission, since the little fox's luck had a very wide influence.

This suggestion made Suzuran's eyes light up, and she quickly nodded in agreement, because besides Shining Liz and a few other operators, she was the only one left in the camp. It would be perfect for her to spend some quality time with Mei Xue, to have some sweet moments, and then... well, you know.

"No need, I'll go with everyone!"

The little fox took an apple from its tail and put it in its mouth. Then it took out everyone's tents one by one. Although Mei Xue found himself a little sleepy after parking, he didn't think it would affect his condition. He also planned to go find everyone from the Reunion Movement after entering the city.

Speaking of this, Mei Xue still hasn't read the letter that Mudrock gave her yesterday. She wagged her tail and took out the letter, intending to find a corner to read it. Although the rest of the people didn't follow, it was impossible for them not to be curious. Rosemary and Amiya both used special methods to scan the contents of the letter through the paper.

Then their faces darkened, and Niyan suddenly felt that his life was in danger in an instant.

Walking behind a tent, the little fox opened the letter and slowly read it. The letter was indeed written by the patriot, and Mei Xue would not mistake the handwriting.

[To Meixue: Long time no see! Grandpa has found you several nice girls and plans to have you go on blind dates with them. Niyan is one of them...]

The opening was like a bolt from the blue. The very first sentence of the letter stunned Mei Xue. Although the little fox was rather naive, she was still capable of knowing nothing about blind dates. It seemed that Grandpa Patriot had found her a marriage partner? But Sister Talulah had said that she could only marry her.

This is like a heartwarming family letter. Apart from the beginning, the rest is just asking about Mei Xue's situation, such as whether she has someone she likes, whether she has been confessed to, and if so, what the other person looks like.

Yes, although the letter was full of inquiries about Mei Xue's recent situation, it was also full of urging her to get married. The little fox even subconsciously pondered for a moment that he had quite a few crushes on, but what did confessing mean? Oh well, he'd just send photos instead.

Thinking of this, Mei Xue took out the photos he had taken earlier from his tail. Before leaving, he had specifically asked Swire, Lin Yuxia, and Hoshiguma to take photos with him. Of course, the Penguin Logistics team also had a copy. Mostima's photos were from their date, as were Chen Huijie and Lappland, Lily of the Valley and Rosemary...

The little fox stuffed the photo and a note into the letter, planning to give it to Grandpa Patriot when he met the Reunion Movement members later.

Actually, Mei Xue originally planned to include Skadi from his dream and the group of Siren lolis as well. Leaving the former aside, he still had a good impression of those cute little girls and always wanted to protect them, which was a kind of natural psychological affection.

However, since there are no photos to see, I can only send them to Patriot Grandpa when I have the chance later.

While the little fox was still pondering whether to rush into Frostnova's arms or Patriot's, Mudrock on the other side was feeling immense pressure. Amiya and Rosemary, though petite in appearance, exuded a truly powerful aura of dominance.

Amiya was furious. She already felt the situation was chaotic enough. Not only were Liz and Kal'tsit in the spotlight, but now even Lily of the Valley and Rosemary had become her rivals. How could she possibly live like this?

Rosemary also frowned, clearly this situation was unexpected for them. If it weren't for their special abilities, Mud Rock would probably be sitting with Mei Xue at dinner, introducing their family situations.

Now they absolutely cannot let Mei Xue and Ni Yan be alone together. Putting everything else aside, they will have to ask Mei Xue later if anything happened while she was driving last night that would make people envious...shameful.

Considering they had been traveling all night, everyone decided to rest for two hours. During this time, Mei Xue, with an apple in her mouth, crawled into Huang's tent and started catching up on sleep, hugging her tail. After driving for so long, it was tiring to relax for a while.

Then the little fox was surrounded by onlookers.

Rosemary and Amiya poked their heads out of the tent entrance and saw Mei Xue, who was still unwilling to take the apple off his hands even while sleeping with his tail in his arms. The two, who had originally planned to ask him many questions, had to temporarily abandon the idea.

But not long after they left, Linglan poked her head out, looked around to make sure no one would come, and then quietly slipped into the tent.

Actually, Linglan really wanted to wake Meixue up so they could do something fun together or play some old games, but the tent wasn't very soundproof, and seeing Meixue like this, she couldn't bear to disturb her. So she could only gently lean against Meixue's back and take a nap together, since Linglan didn't need to go on a rescue mission later.

Being so close together, smelling the floral fragrance on Mei Xue's body, Ling Lan fell into a lazy and languid state. She couldn't help but gently hug Mei Xue's waist and rub against his back, then gently bite the little fox's pointed ears.

This is a very intimate gesture. In the past, Linglan had only seen her parents do it, but recently she and Meixue had done it quite often, and they even invited Rosemary along with them.

However, the kitten seemed more fixated on biting another spot and sucking on the fox spirit than biting the ear. Linglan didn't intend to do anything else, just to stick to it. But Meixue wouldn't wake up if it did that. In fact, it wouldn't be impossible to use her mouth, let alone use her hands.

Of course, lily of the valley is a bit shy; if it were rosemary instead… tsk tsk.

The two little foxes took a nap together. Not long after, Huang, who had finished eating, returned to the tent to get something and saw the two sleeping soundly together.

(I feel like rosemary lost... but why do I feel a little uneasy about it?)

Scratching her head helplessly, Huang felt that the scene in front of her was really too strange. She glanced at the time and estimated that there was still about an hour left, so she simply lay down and hugged Mei Xue in her arms, then only gave Ling Lan a tail.

"I'm tired after driving all day, I need to sleep for a while."

Huang yawned lazily, but even holding Mei Xue like this made him sleepy. He had originally wanted to sit with the little fox yesterday, but for some reason, Rosemary wouldn't let him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the integration, after Talulah showed Chen Huijie around, she noticed that Mudrock was the only one missing and felt something was off. After asking Frostnova, she learned that Mudrock had gone to meet up with Rhodes Island.

"That's strange. I thought you would go in person, since you haven't seen Mei Xue for a long time."

Perhaps because she has already succeeded in getting the meat, Talulah now always has a subtle sense of pride when facing Frostnova, almost as if she has "Frostnova is the best in the world" written all over her face.

"You mean Mei Xue is on Rhodes Island?"

Froststar was suddenly stunned. What was this? How come she didn't know about this?

"Yes, I remember saying that in the letter, didn't Patriot tell you?"
