Talulah, I'm still a child.

But after lying down today, Ghost Shark could still only hear those strange discussions, which made her wonder if she was hallucinating, so she could only close her eyes.

Hey hey hey, we have a new sister joining us!

Where is it?

[I didn't know, the owner is online too!]

Meanwhile, Texas, still covered in white fluid, opened the door for Exusiai and the others while wrapped in a bath towel. Ignoring their surprised expressions, she yawned and wiped herself with her tail.

"Stop making noise, Meixue just fell asleep."

Looking at Texas, who practically had "Mei Xue is awesome" written all over her face, Sora glanced at Exusiai, who was dumbfounded beside her. Clearly, no one expected that the little fox would actually be stolen and eaten by Texas.

Although she was so angry that she wanted to grab her weapon and kill Texas, Exusiai still had to consider that her little boyfriend was sleeping soundly. She took several deep breaths, and the halo above her head was almost completely black, but it still maintained a little light. She was still waiting to take Mei Xue back to see her sister.

"Go to sleep first, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

As she spoke, Exusiai pushed Texas aside and angrily went inside. Damn it, if they had known that Texas would do something like this at this time, they would never have waited outside for so long. It's outrageous.

Pushing open the bedroom door, the little white fox lying on Texas's bed, fast asleep with its tail tucked in, was quite eye-catching. When Exusiai saw Mei Xue, all the anger in her heart subsided. She walked to Mei Xue's bedside and gently poked the little fox's cheek twice.

"You little ingrate, you think my knocking isn't as nice as Texas moaning?

"Well……"

Mei Xue, whose face had been poked, flicked Exusiai's hand with her tail before burying her head in her sleep again. The little fox was already very tired today, not to mention that she had played with Texas for more than an hour.

Seeing the lip prints and teeth marks on Mei Xue's neck and hands, Exusiai glared at Texas, who had just entered.

"You're really quite the newborn."

"Thank you for the compliment. Weren't you the one who started it?"

Anyway, she had already had her fill, and no matter how much Exusiai attacked Texas, it wouldn't affect her much. It wasn't as painful as the bite Mei Xue took on her chest. It's clear that the little fox usually plays quite wildly and has a lot of practical experience.

"I'm not as ruthless as you."

"You were planning to take Mei Xue to Laterano to get your marriage certificate, weren't you?"

Texas retorted that she didn't believe Exusiai brought Mei Xue back just to see her sister; she was more likely planning to force a relationship with Mei Xue. With Lappland's influence, Texas would be a fool not to seize the opportunity.

While those two were arguing, I quietly carried the little fox to my bed. I couldn't possibly get the first bite of meat, and I certainly couldn't just get a sip of soup.

(It's so hot, but it's so soft.)

Mei Xue thought this in her sleep, because Kong had already pressed her head against his chest. Wash up? Who knows whose bed Mei Xue will be in after washing up.

The little fox twitched its ears and followed the network woven by dreams and spirits upstream to the heart of the sirens.

As the Sirens grew and expanded, this consciousness space known as the Sirens Network began to take on more forms, no longer just a nighttime place, and there were many more things to see, such as various kinds of ice cream.

Ghost Shark found the scene before him quite baffling. Could someone explain what was going on with these lolis who averaged only 1.4 meters tall?

"Wow, new sister here, you're so tall... Which branch were you from before?"

"Wow, little sister has a great figure. I heard from Sister Amaya that the master likes this kind of person."

A group of Siren lolis surrounded Specter, looking her up and down with great interest in this newcomer, since Amaya was the only one among the sirens with a decent figure.

However, the familiar name made Ghost Shark frown, as she suddenly recalled some very unpleasant memories.

You mean Amaya?

"Yeah, what's wrong? You know the eldest sister?"

"Heh...maybe we're actually quite familiar with each other."

Looking at the familiar sea before her, Ghost Shark suddenly had some guesses. Hai Si probably didn't have the ability to move her here out of thin air. These guys in front of her were probably connected to her consciousness in some way. This place must be an illusion-like ability.

Now, here's the question: how much authority does she have here?

"Speaking of which, little sister, you should be number 302 now. Have you given yourself a name yet?"

"No need, I already have a name, just call me Laurentina."

Ghost Shark smiled gently. She needed to figure out the relationship between these lolis, Hai Si, and Amaya, and whether Amaya was the one she knew. If so, she would be happy to dance with her and then tear her to shreds.

"Oh, those who have their own names are all pretty impressive, unlike me... sigh, my number is just so awkward."

"Do you usually identify each other by their phone numbers?"

"No, we usually identify each other by directly sensing each other's mental wavelengths. It's just that having a number makes daily life more convenient."

The siren in front of me, wearing a jellyfish hat on her head, pointed to the sisters over there.

“Look, just as you can see, our entire clan only has 302 people including you. You are the only sister who has joined us during this period.”

"Is that so...? Then where is Amaya?"

"Oh, it's over there. By the way, sister, would you like to join our Little Fox Cult?"

The jellyfish siren pointed to a group of sisters raised not far away, and the ghost shark seemed to see a familiar white tail among them.

"what is that?"

Ghost Shark was a little puzzled. Had the Deep Sea Church pulled some new tricks this time?

"It's a cult that believes in our Savior, the Six-Tailed White Fox. By the way, joining now guarantees you'll get 'buy one get one free' when you buy an ice cream."

Looking at the sirens eagerly preaching before him, Ghost Shark shook his head in refusal and then walked toward Amaya.

"Meixue, come and try our newly developed ice cream! It won't melt even at 500 degrees Celsius!"

"Then it's still edible?"

"Of course, we're planning to register a patent."

Looking at the ice cream in front of her, Mei Xue lost interest in snacks for the first time, but the little fox still stuffed it into her tail, planning to take it back to Surtr to try, thinking she would like it.

"Hey, don't push me! Let me pet your tail a couple of times! Just a couple of times!"

There are over three hundred sirens, but only one Meixue. It's unrealistic to satisfy everyone, so Amaya usually distributes them according to their performance. The top performer gets to carry a tail all by themselves, like Gatanothor.

Amaya?

A slightly familiar voice rang in her ears. Amaya turned her head and saw Ghost Shark, dressed in a deep-sea church nun's habit, standing beside her. Both of them fell silent at the same time.

This was their first meeting, yet also their reunion. As a Siren, Amaya inherited all of that woman's memories, including those about the Ghost Shark. The Deep Sea Church was the culprit behind how this deep-sea hunter they found on the beach had fallen to such a state of madness.

"Aren't you the Amaya I know?"

“But you should be the Laurentina I know.”

A hint of doubt flashed in Amaya's eyes, followed by relief and understanding. With her current mental capacity, she could easily understand what had happened.

"You used to be on Rhodes Island, how enviable."

"It is all thanks to you."

Ghost Shark appeared very calm, as if she were simply catching up with an old friend, but Amaya knew she could turn on her at any moment.

“I know you still hate Amaya, but she’s dead, dead beyond dead… I inherited her flesh and blood and was able to evolve.”

"So, you are all Hai Si?"

This is truly a strange scene. Even though this place is close to the sea, Ghost Shark doesn't think that the sea creatures have the power to walk on land. Although the land and the ocean are close to each other, it doesn't mean that they are like family.

"No, we are sirens, a completely new species that has never existed in Terra before. Don't compare us to those wild, inedible aquatic creatures. We are domesticated."

"Being kept by Mei Xue?"

Ghost Shark watched as the little fox was surrounded by a group of little girls taking advantage of him. Seeing Mei Xue here was unexpected for her, but not so unacceptable. She probably entered this place because of what the little fox did back then, and he seemed completely unaware of it.

"Well, most of the materials and funds that the Sirens are currently using to build their homes come from Mei Xue... I know you're thinking about how to snap my neck. Don't be so surprised. Sirens can read each other's minds. You can leave your microphone on."

Amaya's reminder made Ghost Shark realize her own abnormality; no wonder she had unconsciously felt that Amaya in front of her meant no harm.

"But you'd better give up. You are indeed powerful as a deep-sea hunter, but you can't even defeat the weakest siren. If you want to kill me... you'd have to destroy every single cell in my body."

The Sirens' evolution was quite successful. Although they did not evolve to be like Mei Xue, their power surpassed that of the current Deepsea Hunters.

"So, you're saying you're not with Hai Si and the Deep Sea Church?"

"Do you consider the scaled creatures in the water to be your own family?"

Amaya's answer clearly demonstrated her attitude: regardless of the past, the Sirens and the Sealings are not the same species at all. If the Sealings want to evolve to their level, they would need to evolve continuously for tens of thousands of years before they could possibly reach some edge.

"You devoured Amaya?"

"Yes, when I told her about this new path of evolution, everything she believed in was shaken, and she chose to feed me with herself."

"How did she find it to eat?"

"It's disgusting."

The two sat and chatted. Ghost Shark knew that fighting the other party here would be pointless. She just curiously observed the dream and the evolved sirens. Apart from the unusual fondness and closeness they showed to Mei Xue, they were no different from the humans in Ghost Shark's memory.

"What is the purpose of your development?"

"A meaningless question. It seems that your entry into this place was indeed an accident."

Amaya glanced at Ghost Shark, then pointed to Mei Xue, who was telling stories to the Sirens. Although these Sirens were now far more knowledgeable than Mei Xue, the little fox's stories still captivated them. Or rather, the feeling of being with Mei Xue was the most important thing.

“Mei Xue, she is the target of the Sirens. All actions, all thoughts, all evolution and development have only one goal.”

“If Mei Xue needs it, we can take most of the cities in Iberia within three months, or we can launch an attack on your country.”

Although there are only three hundred of them, that is enough. The Sirens have extremely strong combat power and physical strength. With Mei Xue's lucky blessing, they are a unique species. At the very least, they can disguise themselves as high-level sea creatures and order other sea creatures to launch an attack.

Moreover, Ghost Shark keenly noticed that Amaya used "He" instead of "he" when describing Mei Xue. No, this seems quite natural, after all, Mei Xue brought them the opportunity to evolve, and the little fox could not possibly be as delicate and weak as she appears on the outside.

"Ah, Ghost Shark Sister!"

Mei Xue, who had appeased a group of sirens, wanted to ask Amaya if she needed any materials, but instead discovered Ghost Shark sitting next to her. The little fox wagged its tail happily and ran over barefoot on the soft sand.

Although surprised, Mei Xue did not rush over like she would with her other sisters. Instead, she stopped two meters in front of Ghost Shark and looked at her and Amaya with some curiosity.

"You...dislike each other?"

How could that be?

"of course not."

The two denied it in unison, but Mei Xue simply twitched her fox ears and pointed to what was next to them.

"Then why are you two, one carrying a chainsaw and the other carrying a brick?"

The little fox hugged its tail, completely baffled. Although the two appeared to be chatting together, they were both holding weapons, looking like they might start fighting at any moment.
