Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Hmm... this will require Mei Xue's cooperation."

Liz looked at the little fox, and her instinctive warning made Mei Xue take a step back. The little fox hugged its tail and looked at the four of them warily, but the next moment it was lifted up by the invisible force of Rosemary, just like the previous times.

Far away in Laterano, Remy began to plan how to get rid of her good sister and best friend so that she and Meixue could have some time alone.

"Well, let's go to the food street to get something to eat first, and then go to the cathedral. But Mei Xue will definitely have to stay with me then, so... we'll need to add another bed here."

Remien tapped her notebook lightly, popsicle in her mouth, and pondered her next plan. It would be easy to get rid of Exusiai with her cunning, but it would take more effort to deal with Mostima.

"Hmm, it seems we need to start with Fiameta... We'll just have to make Andorn sacrifice a little."

Remian knew very well what had happened back then. She could understand Andorn's choice because the Sarkaz could empathize with each other. But the problem was that Fiameta was a Liberi, one of the few Liberi in Laterano who used a gun. She couldn't understand why Mostima and Remian chose to laugh it off.

If Fiameta knew that Andorn was actually near Laterano, she would probably go looking for him in a fit of rage, and Mostima would definitely go there too. As for Andorn... well, he wouldn't hurt these two former teammates; at most, they would just be a little embarrassed.

By then, Remian will have plenty of time to explore Laterano's various landmarks and savor all its delicacies with Meixue.

"But... I always feel like I'm letting Xiaole down."

Leaning against the headboard and looking out the window, the warm sunlight shone on Remian's face. As a good older sister, she couldn't ignore her younger sister's feelings. The little fox she liked had suddenly become her brother-in-law, which must have been a huge blow to Exusiai.

So Remien thought about it and decided to keep it a secret from her sister and secretly get her hands on Mei Xue. But she knew the little fox well enough to know that if Mei Xue saw her, she would probably wag her tail and rush over to her, then jump into her arms, calling her "Sister Remien" and rubbing against her, while constantly asking about her health.

But if that happens, Xiao Le will know that Mei Xue knows her sister, and the clever younger sister will quickly realize that this is her sister's scheme and become wary.

"Let's discuss this with Mei Xue later. We need to make sure our performance is convincing."

Thinking this, Remien looked at the street outside, then waved to a cute little girl passing by. Watching the little girl run away with the red balloon, Remien looked at her legs with a complicated expression.

"I actually... still want to stand up."

She wanted to stand up and take Mei Xue with her, like a normal woman, to go shopping, eat out, buy clothes, sit on a park bench together, and enjoy each other's ice cream, or perhaps...

This was the first time Remien had ever hated the wheelchair by her bedside so much. She took out her communicator and dialed Mei Xue's number.

The little fox on the other end of the phone had been tormented for quite a while. To call it tormented was really just smearing cream on his face. The five of them were playing cards together, but Xiao Ke kept losing, and Mei Xue also lost a few times.

Yes, it's quite something that Rhodes Island should investigate in depth that Mei Xue lost at poker. But actually, it's quite simple: the little fox simply didn't want to win. He was letting Rosemary and Lily of the Valley win, and he didn't want Liz's face to be covered in colorful cake.

As for Xiao Ke? She liked to lick all the cake off her face, but only Mei Xue's mouth was covered in cream, which, according to Liz, was so that Mei Xue could eat it later.

Upon hearing Remian's call, the little fox took out her communicator without hesitation and walked out of the lounge.

"Hey, sis... um, it's nothing, I was just playing with my friends."

"Ah, of course not. Yes, I will definitely answer if my sister calls."

Mei Xue seemed to be on the phone with Chen Huijie or someone else. Liz didn't say anything, but just smeared some more cake on Xiao Ke's lips.

Chatting with Mei Xue did indeed improve Remi's mood considerably.

Chapter 209 The Little Fox's Mischief

Q: How does Rhodes Island make money?

A: Just raise a God of Wealth statue.

Looking at the striking black font on Rhodes Island's financial statements, Amiya was overjoyed. The return of the Doctor and Mei Xue had significantly changed Rhodes Island's operating model. In addition, the various companies in Columbia had also returned to the Doctor and Mei Xue's names, so Rhodes Island was not short of funds.

Moreover, with the sarcophagus brought back from Chernobog, Rhodes Island's energy expenditures are entirely provided by that thing. According to Kal'tsit, the overflowing energy from that sarcophagus alone is enough to power the entire mobile city. Considering its significance, no one except elite operators is allowed to enter the power plant where it is located, nor is it allowed to disclose any related matters.

Amiya understood this, after all, that sarcophagus was too advanced for Terra at present, and any country would be very interested in it if it were discovered.

The key is that there is also Mei Xue on Rhodes Island who goes against the laws of physics. The little fox's ability to copy things is too much. According to Kal'tsit, Mei Xue can copy most things that can be stuffed into her tail, including Rhodes Island where they are.

"Ah, bringing the Doctor and Mei Xue back was definitely the right decision."

Amiya happily put away the financial statements, then got up to find Mei Xue to have lunch together.

More than a week has passed since Rhodes Island brought Mei Xue and the Doctor back. Everything has been peaceful during this week, but Mei Xue is still paying close attention to all news related to the Reunion Movement.

Perhaps feeling too humiliated by the loss of Chernobog and being tricked, Ursus did not publicize the Reunion Movement's events. Instead, they kept their actions under wraps, and even if they were to carry out a purge, they would not reveal much information. It seems that everything is going smoothly for Talulah and her group.

However, what worries Amiya is Ursus and Victoria. Both countries have already amassed troops on the border. It is clear that Ursus does not intend to give up its old method of diverting internal conflicts by relying on war. However, with Mei Xue in the Great Yan, it is obviously not an easy opponent. Ursus will have to find someone else.

"Alas, the border is filled with the armies of the various grand dukes; Theresis has only sent a small number of his subordinates, clearly out of concern..."

Amiya had initially thought that dealing with Theresis would become even more difficult, but then she remembered that Mei Xue seemed to be cursing that guy. Tsk tsk, life is definitely not going to be easy for him; he'll probably have trouble even drinking cold water.

Amiya's guess was actually wrong. It's impossible for Theresis and the Blood Lord to have such a problem. The stone pillar had already knocked out one of their teeth, and they were now thinking of getting it replaced.

"Stop running!"

"Then don't chase after him!"

The moment the door opened, Amiya only saw a white shadow flash past her, followed by Warfarin holding a sack and a net.

"Dr. Warfarin is trying to catch Brother Meixue again..."

[After all, Mei Xue is a very worthy subject of study for her, and she'll probably be put on hold by Kal'tsit again this time.]

Theresa could only feel helpless about this. This wasn't the first time Warfarin had pursued Meixue. In fact, ever since she learned that Meixue's body was even more special than Skadi's, Warfarin's mind was filled with thoughts of catching the little fox to do some small tests.

But the method this guy chose... giving someone sleeping pills and anesthetics didn't work on Skadi, and naturally it didn't work on Mei Xue either.

So after balancing the fighting power of both sides, Warfarin felt it was better to go for the hard way. After hearing that Kal'tsit had brought Mei Xue back in a sack, she decided to do the same, and then she was hung up by Kal'tsit.

But Mei Xue is a very kind-hearted child. The little fox always felt that hanging Warfarin up for so long was too much suffering, so he would time it perfectly to put Warfarin down and then go out for a meal with her. After they finished eating, there would be another chase.

"Why do I get the feeling that they're actually enjoying it now?"

Amiya tilted her head and watched Warfarin chase after Mei Xue. To be honest, it was more like a simple race than a capture, otherwise, the little fox's speed would have made it no problem to outrun Warfarin.

Warfarin doesn't seem that sinister. Hmm, it's necessary to eliminate some threats... But Warfarin is, after all, her savior, and Amiya can't possibly bury her or throw her into Rhodes Island's incinerator.

Hmm, it's decided. I'll have Kal'tsit hang her up later. Anyway, Mei Xue is going to Laterano in a while, so there won't be anyone to put her down then.

As Amiya suspected, neither Mei Xue nor Warfarin were enjoying themselves. The little fox was bored all day long and could only occasionally help with what she could, such as praying for the deceased infected, helping to move things, or granting special privileges.

In fact, with Mei Xue's consent, Rhodes Island even introduced a series of special prize tickets such as "Mei Xue's Special Ear Touching Ticket," "Mei Xue's Special Tail Touching Ticket," and "Mei Xue's Special Hug Ticket" to reward operators who performed exceptionally well on a daily basis.

(By the way, this suggestion was made by the PhD student.)

Therefore, the little fox treated the capture of Warfarin as mere amusement, and watching the two of them chase each other all day long became a pastime and source of fun for the Rhodes Island operators.

"Mei Xue, you stop right there! I'll only smoke a little bit, just a little bit!"

"No way! I don't want a shot!"

The little fox ran incredibly fast, and Warfarin really couldn't understand where he got that speed from; she had never managed to catch Mei Xue even once.

Although the little fox has a golden ratio in terms of body proportions, those short legs are too much to handle. Has the little fox ever participated in horse races next door?

"Sigh, let's make a bet, see how many hours Warfarin will be hanging this time?"

"I'll bet four hours."

"I think it will take at most two hours. We all know that Mei Xue is soft-hearted."

Mei Xue has always been well-behaved and cute, and can't stand seeing others unhappy. Therefore, she always hangs around the medical department, trying her best to make the patients happy. The patients in the medical department can freely touch the little fox's ears, but the tail can only be touched by children of the same age.

"That's true... Oh right, do you have any Mei Xue's tail petting coupons?"

"You only have one ear-touching coupon, what's wrong?"

"Give me one thousand Lungmen dollars."

"……no."

Scout shook his head. He had bought the ear-touching voucher from Kroos for two thousand LMD. It was a rare and highly sought-after item on Rhodes Island, something everyone wanted to own, and people were generally reluctant to use.

Because the little fox is particularly clever, he can recognize at a glance any petting coupons and hugging coupons that he didn't personally sign. Kal'tsit was hung on a pole and left to bask in the sun for half a day because she printed fake petting coupons and overcharged.

"I really envy those little guys in Lily of the Valley, they can touch Mei Xue's ears and tail as they please... Sigh, where's Logos? I haven't seen him come out for so long, doesn't he miss Mei Xue?"

"I definitely miss them, but I just don't know how to face it."

ACE stroked his chin. For these veteran operators, Mei Xue's past romantic entanglements were no secret. Back when the little fox came to Babel, she was often teased by various older women, especially Logos' mother, the great banshee from the former royal court who was particularly fond of the little fox and would touch her whenever she had the chance.

Initially, due to Theresa's presence, the Great Banshee only kissed, hugged, and lifted Mei Xue up high. Later, she gradually went a bit too far, and then invited Mei Xue to her place for a meal and to stay overnight.

Logos can never forget what his mother said to him that day after he got home, while holding Meixue and stroking the little fox's tail.

"Son, this is your new dad from now on. Keep a close eye on him and don't let him cheat on you."

"Isn't this just causing me trouble?"

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Logos really didn't expect his mother to do such a thing. At that time, Mei Xue was already being treated as Theresa's other half, the kind of girl that even Kal'tsit could only secretly eat.

Later, the little fox got engaged to Amiya, what could he do?

The key point is that since then, Mei Xue has really treated him like her own child, showing concern for him all day long, worrying that Logos is not eating or sleeping well. Ah, but his pre-battle blessing was still very useful.

"So you don't want to go out and say hello?"

"...I need to take on a mission."

As the new High Banshee, Logos' words carry a power that is difficult for ordinary people to bear, which makes him have to speak in such a segmented way, although it sounds a bit strange. I remember the Doctor's evaluation of him back then was "a genius of verbal persuasion".

"What mission?"

"For now, just leave Rhodes Island."

Logos turned and walked towards Kal'tsit's office. He needed to take some time to calm down and sort out his thoughts before making any decisions. After all, his mother must already know that Mei Xue had returned, and she might ask him to bring the little fox home. That woman's room had at least five life-size Mei Xue body pillows, all of which were restricted to minors.

The main concern is that he's worried he might accidentally utter that taboo name when facing Mei Xue's words. If Amiya and Theresa both explode at the same time, well... people might die.

The little fox and Warfarin's chase continued. He vaguely sensed a familiar presence, and as a result, he almost had his head covered by Warfarin's net.

"Meixue, don't run away!"

"Hehe~ If you're so capable, come and chase me~ If you catch me... I'll let you~ Hehe~"

Mei Xue didn't continue speaking, but turned to Warfarin and made a cute and playful face, then revealed a charmingly mischievous smile.

Although the little fox didn't finish her sentence, this well-placed pause sparked a lot of imagination. Warfarin blushed a little at the smile and quickly covered her face, which was a bit hot.

Seeing Mei Xue running ahead with her tail between her legs, she simply hardened her heart.

"You said it yourself, so don't blame me for being impolite!"

Warfarin was determined to catch this little fox today, no matter what, and to give him a few kisses!

Just as Warfarin had this thought, she suddenly heard someone's voice in her ear.

"Dr. Warfarin, you should go and rest."
