Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Mommy~"

"Hmm, you really worried your mother. Ah... your temperature is normal now, that's great. And who is this?"

"This is Brother Meixue; he's the one who healed me."

Although she didn't recognize the name, Felia wasn't too wary of Mei Xue because he had a pleasing face and wasn't very tall. She was just glad that her daughter had recovered.

"Thank you. Did you find Cecilia?"

"Hmm... Cecilia found me because she was worried that you might be in danger, Auntie."

"Mom, the outside world isn't that dangerous!"

Felia felt a pang of sadness at her daughter's words. She even wondered if it would be better to take her daughter to live in another city. But home was here, roots were here, and it would be too dangerous for the mother and daughter to go elsewhere. Most importantly... those guys wouldn't allow Cecilia to leave Lateran.

“Cecilia, oh, these are…”

"It was all Mei Xue who treated me to these meals."

"How much did all this cost? I'll pay for it. How can I let you treat me?"

Felia shook her head. Judging from Mei Xue's appearance, she should come from a wealthy family, but how much money could a little fox like her have? However, she had eaten so much. It seemed that Cecilia would need to eat more extra meals in the future.

"It's okay, Auntie, anyway, the shop manager didn't take any money."

"Yes, yes, Mom, let's eat together too. My brother and I ordered a lot of food."

Cecilia couldn't possibly finish all this food herself, but knowing her mother was coming later, she ordered a lot of things that Felia might like.

"This is..."

"Let's eat together, Auntie. We can't finish all of this anyway, so we can't waste it."

Since Cecilia hadn't eaten, Felia naturally couldn't either. The little fox wagged his tail; he still knew how to persuade others.

"OK then."

Felia nodded. Although the desserts at this shop were delicious, they were also quite expensive. She had only been there once or twice. It was impossible for her not to want to eat there; desserts were irresistible to most women.

The three sat down again, and then Felia noticed something was wrong: Cecilia was not sitting next to her, but instead went to sit next to Meixue, and even skillfully took a tail and held it in her arms while happily eating.

This scene greatly shocked Felia. She glanced at Meixue again and found that the little fox was completely unaffected and was still eating her snacks by herself.

(Could it be Cecilia... no, no, I haven't taught her any of this, she's still so young.)

Felia quickly dismissed the thought, but she couldn't help but glance at Mei Xue a few more times. After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like it would be a bad idea to have this little fox as her son-in-law.

After all, Mei Xue doesn't seem to be much older than Cecilia, and she's very cute. Judging from their conversation just now, she's not a bad kid. No, the things she's done prove that she's a kind and warm-hearted child.

Moreover, the little fox is very good-looking, and his appearance is a perfect match for Cecilia. However, Felia doesn't know his background, only that he seems to be from Rhodes Island. She can ask the people at the Rhodes Island office later.

"Mei Xue, where are you living now?"

"Ah, I live in the Rhodes Island office, which isn't far from here."

The little fox swayed its tail, confirming Felia's thoughts. It wasn't that she was overthinking things, but rather that her illness had been dragging on for too long, and she only had a few years left to live. The doctor said that if she didn't receive treatment soon, she might even die next year.

Aside from her lover, Felia is most worried about Cecilia. After Cecilia dies, the people from the justice agency will definitely come to her door, and those who have always hoped that Cecilia would join them will also come looking for her. To be honest, Felia is very worried about her daughter's future.

She was genuinely trying to find a safe home for Cecilia after her death, and Mei Xue in front of her might be a good son-in-law.

"Would you like to come over to my house for lunch tomorrow?"

"This one……"

Mei Xue took out her communicator and glanced at it. She had already sent a message to Remian explaining that something came up and that Exusiai was going to a reunion with her old classmates in the morning, and would only ask him to go shopping together in the afternoon. She only needed to say a word to Mostima and Fiameta.

"Brother Meixue, come to my house! Let's play together. I have lots of toys!"

"Okay then~"

The little fox wagged its tail, and Felia smiled and nodded, then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Mei Xue, do the people at the Rhodes Island office know Cecilia?"

"I don't know. Everyone was busy when I brought Cecilia back, and no one saw her."

"That's good, Mei Xue. Consider it a favor I'm asking you: please don't tell anyone about Cecilia!"

Felia's expression was very serious. Mei Xue twitched his fox ears and nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know why, he could sense something was wrong from Cecilia and Felia's previous behavior.

Moreover, the little fox kept something to himself throughout the whole thing: he felt that Cecilia and Mostima were very similar, not in appearance or temperament, but in something more fundamental.

Perhaps I can ask Mostima later.

Thinking this, Mei Xue lowered her head to eat a little more, and then she heard a sound like dice hitting the table.

He couldn't possibly have misheard it, even for a fleeting moment, because the older brother named Extreme on Rhodes Island had lost to him in this game many times, to the point that he would come over every night to play this game with Mei Xue. The little fox couldn't possibly have misremembered the voice.

Is there a problem with the Siren sisters?

Mei Xue didn't know, but he only hoped that everyone was safe and sound.

In the vast ocean, out of Mei Xue's sight, a group of two hundred sirens were swimming at a considerable speed toward the depths of the ocean. Various strange sea creatures passed by them, some as small as ants and some as large as skyscrapers, but they all chose to give way, because the sirens' mental networks were more advanced.

"Everyone slow down."

Amaya gave these commands through the mental network, because they were now truly venturing deep into the heart of Haisi, and they needed to be extremely careful.

"Big sister, what do we do next?"

"Start the investigation in groups of three, but do not go too far apart. No one is allowed to act without authorization. If any abnormality is found, you must move away from it and report it."

The sea still carries the scent of Isamara's blood, but this blood has no effect on the Sirens. After Amaya gave the order, the Sirens scattered, except for her and Gatanothor, because the two of them were the strongest and more suited to acting alone.

"Big sister, let's get this straight, if you behave well..."

"I know, I know, let's go, let's go."

Amaya dragged Gatanothor along as they swam straight ahead. They couldn't tell which way to go in the pitch-black sea, but they could sense the ocean currents, and their mental network could act as radar.

Of course, the main reason is Mei Xue's good fortune; even a king-killer couldn't possibly get lost.

Chuzneji's paintings are amazing!

Chapter 232 Mostima's Warning

At night, Remy put down her storybook and stretched. After hearing the noise outside, she moved over to the window, pushed it open, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mei Xue's little head peeking out.

"Are you full?"

"I also brought one for Sister Remienne~"

The little fox shook its ears, raised the cake in its hand, then climbed the ladder into Remian's house, and then tucked the ladder back into its tail.

"You just messaged me saying you were taking someone home, was it a girl?"

"Yes, a friend I just met today."

Mei Xue twitched his fox ears, took off his shoes, and stepped onto Remian's bed. Just as he was about to jump to the ground, Remian shook his head and patted the spot next to him.

"Lie down here."

"OK then."

Mei Xue didn't feel embarrassed at all by Remian's invitation. The little fox tail swayed as it lay down beside her, and Mei Xue took out a fork to feed Remian cake.

"Speaking of which, why did you make me go through the window, sister?"

Mei Xue tilted her head in confusion. It would be much more convenient to go through the main entrance. Climbing the ladder made the little fox feel like she was doing something like a thief.

Don't you think this is more exciting?

I don't think so.

Remianne gently bit the spoon, the sweet and soft cake making her smile and squint her eyes. Mei Xue was really cute. Actually, she was just worried that if the little fox went through the front door, others might see her, and then it would be difficult to explain to Xiao Le later.

"Okay, okay, well... but you've taken up a lot of time, so we can't do much."

"Sister, why don't you finish this cake first?"

Mei Xue wondered why Remianne had called her over, but it turned out she was there to mess with him. The little fox twitched his ears and thought for a moment. He knew he shouldn't have come, otherwise it would have taken up so much time. He had to deliver a letter to the Papal Palace tomorrow morning, and he couldn't afford to be late.

"By the way, sister, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"what happened?"

"Why is Sister Mostima different from you?"

After much thought, Mei Xue still felt that it was more appropriate to ask Remienne about this question. Asking Mostima might upset her, as Remienne was an old friend of hers and must know a lot.

"You mean this? This is a very... private matter, though it's not exactly a secret. Many Lateran people know about it."

Normally, Remianne would avoid this question, but she knew that Mei Xue was most likely involved in that incident from back then, so there was no harm in telling him.

"People like Mostima are called fallen angels in Laterano, fallen..."

Because the little fox was from the Great Yan, Remyane deliberately used the Great Yan language, which she had been learning for quite some time, to say this.

"Does 'that kind of person' mean more than just Sister Mostima?"

"Yes, there has never been more than one."

Remien put the cake aside, picked up Mei Xue, and began to tell him about another side of Laterano's history.

Fallen angels are those Laterans who have violated the laws of Lateran. There are many ways to become a fallen angel, and attacking one's own people is one of the most forbidden.

Mei Xue heard many things from Remian that she didn't know before, including the split of their four-person team back then, Mostima's attack on the man named Andorn that turned her into a fallen angel, Remian's slumber, and Fiameta's inner turmoil. Even the Exias didn't know the full story of these things.

"But……"

Mei Xue thought for a moment, and wondered, who could Cecilia possibly hurt in her current state? She didn't even dare to look at strangers.

"Hmm, so that means the fallen angels are all those adults?"

"Of course not. Fallen angels like Mostima fell after birth, but there are some special fallen angels. No, strictly speaking, they are just... rather special."

Remien didn't know whether she should tell Mei Xue these things. In fact, now that she was working in the Papal Palace, many things were not secrets to her, but there were some things that she couldn't tell outsiders.

After all, Mei Xue is just a little fox, and knowing so much wouldn't do him any good, especially since it would violate the Lateran Code.

"mua~"

Mei Xue lightly kissed Remi's lips, then hugged her tail and waited for her to continue.

You think I'll tell you just like that?
