Talulah, I'm still a child.

Gatanjah looked at the tall, seemingly polished white jade pillar in front of her with some surprise. She looked up and found that this behemoth had no end in sight, was at least a kilometer long, and was quite thick.

"It really does look like a monument. There's one over there too, and they're even symmetrical?"

The more the Sirens explored, the more familiar they felt with the place, especially with its bizarrely shaped buildings, such as those giant white jade monuments, which looked far more magnificent than the Iberian lighthouses.

"Strange, this design... and this appearance."

On the 16th, she kept piecing together the corresponding monuments in her mind, combining them with the huge mountain peak from before. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and this idea was instantly conveyed to all the sisters.

For a moment, all the Sirens, including Amaya, stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at these monuments—or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them ribs.

Yes, ribs. These kilometer-long things are just ribs, while that huge seamount is the head of a giant beast. Compared to it, Isamara seems so harmless.

As the Sirens learned the true nature of these things, a nameless sadness welled up in their hearts. There was no reason or basis for it, not even background music to enhance the emotion. Their tears and the seawater were both salty, and the light of the micro-life-bearing sea adorned the surroundings.

Make it brighter!

Amaya commanded the sea creatures in this way, and more and more sea creatures surged in, constantly splitting themselves so that the surroundings were as bright as day for a short time.

Now Amaya and the others could see clearly that it was a skeleton. The city's uneven terrain was all because of it. The city was built on its body, but the surface soil had been washed away by the sea over the years, resulting in the scene we see today.

"Whose body is this...?"

Number 16 asked this question, but as the entire mental modeling was completed, everyone had the answer in their hearts, because their hearts were crying, filled with resentment and indignation, and heartache. Only one person could have caused this change.

"My God, by Mei Xue's side..."

Amaya looked at the jade pendant on her chest. When the Sirens realized who the skeleton in front of them belonged to, the jade pendant emitted a white light and transformed into a stream of light that floated toward the skeleton's head.

The Siren girls never dreamed that they would be doing archaeological work on their own leader's grave. The skeleton was undoubtedly from Mei Xue. This was no longer a simple deep-sea exploration; it was a truly terrifying story!

"These are the remains of my master, but clearly..."

Even if it isn't, there's definitely some significant connection.

Amaya swam toward the jade pendant, with her other sisters following closely behind. The commotion had already attracted the attention of the intelligent sea creatures, but they were easily fooled and were dismissed with a few words.

The jade pendant, emitting a white light, circled around the enormous head. Upon closer inspection, Amaya discovered that something else was embedded in the head—an object emitting a pale blue glow.

(Master, please don't hold me accountable for my offense.)

Silently apologizing to Mei Xue in her heart, Amaya reached out and gently took the object off her hand, examining it for a moment before putting the jade pendant away as well.

This is a multifaceted object with ten faces. Although no specific number is written on any of the faces, Amaya recognizes it as a die, even though she doesn't know which face should originally have a number.

Before Amaya could examine it carefully, the enormous, mountain-like skeleton in front of her instantly turned into dust and fell into the sea. The sudden change left the girls speechless with astonishment.

"Big sister! You've dug up the master's grave!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you brat!"

Amaya punched Gatanothor so hard that he was embedded in the seabed, probably several tens of meters deep. It was clear that she was really panicked. She had originally planned to take the skeletons back to show Mei Xue.

"Quickly collect the master's ashes!"

"But sister, I heard that in the Great Yan Dynasty, relocating graves requires an auspicious day. Won't we suffer retribution for doing this?"

"Use your brain, will you? Mei Xue is behind us, what retribution are you afraid of?"

Amaya was about to give a speech when she kicked the dice into the crease of her chest when everyone suddenly felt something awaken.

"Oh no! Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

At Amaya's command, the Sirens rushed back the way they came. At the same time, a huge mental wave swept across a radius of tens of kilometers. Countless Sea Heirs received orders to treat their former sisters as invaders and began to obstruct them.

"Damn it, I knew it wasn't just Isamara, but I didn't expect this kind of accident!"

The big guy behind them is not easy to deal with. Even if the Siren lolis are confident that they can surround and kill it here, there will inevitably be casualties, and they may even lose one or two sisters. There are too many miscellaneous sea monsters around. It is not a worthwhile business for everyone to do this on its territory.

You have to know that they promised Mei Xue that they would all return home, and that no one could be left behind!

"Ouch... Big sister, you almost smashed my head."

Gatanothor rubbed her head in annoyance, and countless black mists were released from the shell on her head. These black mists could devour anything they touched, whether it was radio waves or mental fluctuations.

The sea creatures sensed no threat and plunged in, then remained motionless until the fog dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

"Stop talking nonsense. A troublesome guy has come from behind. Looks like we've found the right person. He's really sticking to us."

Amaya glanced at her chest; the die was unusually still and emitted no light.

"Then let's beat him up!"

"Are you stupid? There are so many Hai Si here. Even if you're not afraid of them all swarming you, just imagine these guys crawling all over you..."

"Ugh, stop talking, I'm starting to get scared!"

Gatanothor quickly shook his head. He couldn't even imagine such a scene. The Sirens were extremely clean, and any play they wanted to do had to be with Mei Xue.

"I hope we can all go back this time. If there are fewer people, I won't be able to explain it to Mei Xue."

As soon as she finished speaking, Amaya suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest. She looked down and saw a single word appear on the smooth, mirror-like side of the die: One.

[The result is a resounding success!]

Amaya hadn't yet grasped the meaning of the words that had popped into her head, but perhaps because she was swimming too fast, the small glass jar containing the Doom Mushroom, which had been in her pocket, was swept behind her by the current.

"This... Holy crap, run!"

As the Destroyer Mushroom disappeared from sight, Amaya suddenly realized something and swam away with her sisters at an unprecedented speed.

A few minutes later, a deafening roar that echoed across the ocean suddenly came from behind them. The immense energy propelled the seawater to churn, and a burst of intense light flashed for a moment. Everyone could hear a piercing wail, and their previously agitated mental state instantly calmed down.

The sirens were also disoriented and tumbled by the shockwave, but they managed to regain their footing and continue swimming out.

"Big sister, do you think that guy behind us is dead?"

"Even if he's not dead, he probably can't do anything."

Amaya's lips twitched slightly, clearly at a loss for words. The thing Mei Xue gave her was truly a weapon of mass destruction. The immense energy of the instantaneous explosion was far beyond what Hai Si could adapt to. Moreover, this thing, like Mei Xue, defied science. The energy fluctuations had no process whatsoever; the explosion was instantaneous, blasting at least thirty kilometers around in an instant. What kind of quantum bomb was this?

However, compared to those enormous skeletons found on the seabed, the die on the chest, and the tombs of civilizations, these are all quite astonishing discoveries.

Although she couldn't find any useful instruments, Amaya knew from Hai Si's reaction that the thing she was carrying was definitely not simple and must be related to Mei Xue.

"Ah!"

Mei Xue, who was about to go to sleep, felt someone talking about her behind her back again. She didn't know why, but she had felt very uncomfortable since then, as if someone was pointing at her and cursing her.

"Never mind, I'd better go to sleep."

Mei Xue shook her head and reached out to close the window, but the familiar feeling of time stopping returned, and the little fox's expression immediately turned sour.

"Sister Mostima, aren't you asleep yet at this hour?"

"Yeah, I can't sleep without you by my side."

Mostima tossed her staff aside, a mischievous grin on her face, locked the door, and then helped draw the curtains.

On the other side of the corridor, Angelina, who had just finished showering, was drying her hair as she walked towards her room. As she passed Mei Xue's room, she heard some noises coming from inside and, out of girlish curiosity, she subconsciously turned her head to listen.

Then, hearing the noises inside, Angelina's face turned bright red, and she felt extremely shy, forgetting to move her feet.

Mostima noticed the shadow under the door and realized someone was eavesdropping. She even guessed it was Angelina, but instead of stopping, she raised her voice even louder.

(They actually...)

Angelina blushed with embarrassment and, unable to bear it any longer, quickly ran back to her room and buried herself in the covers, but she knew she would have a hard time falling asleep tonight.

Chapter 234 Mei Xue, pressured to get married

"Mei, why are you looking at the stars?"

"...because they are watching me too."

Under the cover of night, the siblings leaned against a tree, Mei Xue holding her tail and gazing at the sky with a hazy and confused look in her eyes, while Su Xue'er looked at him with eyes full of affection.

"Sister, where do you think we came from?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. As long as I can be with my brother, that's enough."

Su Xue'er skillfully combed Mei Xue's tail with a wooden comb, and the little fox couldn't help but smile slightly and nod in agreement.

But the next moment, everything shattered like a dream. Mei Xue opened her eyes in a daze. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. The little fox's tail swayed involuntarily. She yawned and sat up from the bed, stretching her lazy waist in a cute way.

The room still smelled of the three or four hours she had played with Mostima the night before, but Mostima, who was supposed to be sleeping with Meixue, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed she had left through the window.

"You should have just used the main entrance."

Mei Xue scratched her slightly messy hair helplessly. The little fox thought that Mostima wasn't an outsider, so there was no need to be sneaky.

However, Mei Xue still got up and cleaned up all the traces in the room before going out to wash up, and happened to bump into Angelina walking over with dark circles and eye bags.

"Sister Angelina, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Ah...ah, I worked late last night and went to bed a little late. I had insomnia and then had a nightmare."

Angelina was still a little out of it, but she was still enough to fool Mei Xue. She yawned. Actually, she had been forced to eavesdrop all night, and by the end she was completely numb.

Thinking of this, Angelina couldn't help but take another look at Mei Xue, from his face to his lower abdomen. Last night, it lasted for three or four hours. How could Mei Xue, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, be so strong in that area? She heard it clearly at the time. Mostima couldn't help but shout and beg for mercy. Is this little fox a normal person?

"In that case, sister, you should go back and rest quickly. Your health is the most important thing."

"...You too, your health is important, so please be mindful of moderation."

Angelina patted Mei Xue's shoulder with a rather earnest expression, but decided it would be better to go back and get some sleep, since she was indeed still sleepy and didn't have anything to do.

(Hopefully I won't dream about those embarrassing things anymore.)

Angelina touched her burning cheeks. She had been eavesdropping for so long last night that she kept dreaming about those kinds of things when she went to sleep. She even had to change her sheets and blankets when she woke up in the morning. It was so embarrassing. The worst part was that the person she was fantasizing about in her dream was the grown-up Mei Xue.

"What is my sister saying?"

Mei Xue was a little confused, but the little fox still went downstairs to wash up and have breakfast, and didn't forget to greet Outcast and Andrew, who were sitting on the sofa playing cards.

"Good morning, Andrew! Aunt Outcast is here too!"

"Okay, go wash up quickly."

"Hey, Mei Xue, would you like to come with us... Um, you should wash up first. Ms. Outcast will take you to the Papal Palace later."

Andrew was about to suggest that Mei Xue come over and play a couple of hands of cards when he saw Outcast shake his head immediately. What the hell is this? How could someone be so crazy as to want to play cards with Mei Xue?

At Mostima's house, Fiameta, though annoyed that she had inexplicably become Mei Xue's bodyguard, still had to do her job and continued to knock on Mostima's door regularly.

"Mostima, wake up! If you keep sleeping, your fox will be snatched away by Remuel, you believe it or not?"
