Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Damn it, why did it have to be someone with divine talent?"

"Xiao Le, I'm really defeated by you. You should treat Mei Xue better."

Have you thought about what to name your future children?

Enjoying the gazes of those around her, Exusiai couldn't help but burst into laughter. Now, everyone except her was a loser. Texas Lappland, Mostima, and Officer Chen could only watch as she and Mei Xue walked down the aisle.

This sweet dream continued until Exusiai went to find Meixue on her wedding night. When she opened the door, she saw her sister wearing her favorite nightgown, lying on top of Meixue.

"!!!"

The nightmare was so intense that it woke Exusiai from her sleep. She sat up abruptly and found herself lying on the floor.

Instinctively, Exusiai looked towards the bed. Mei Xue and Remian were also looking at her, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Remian wiped the fox spirit from the corner of her mouth, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

Despite it being nighttime, the halo above Remian's head still functioned as a lamp. Exusiai, who had witnessed everything, could hardly believe what she was seeing; she felt like she was still half asleep.

"I must still be dreaming, yes, I must be dreaming."

"Yes, Xiao Le, you should go back to sleep. You won't have nightmares when you wake up."

Remien was startled, as was Mei Xue, so the little fox almost cried out because of Remien, but she tried her best to make Exusiai think of it as a dream.

"I knew it, haha... How could my sister do something like that with my boyfriend?"

Exusiai hugged the blanket and lay back down. Remy breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, Good Sister jumped up on the spot, trembling with anger.

"I'm not a child, who are you trying to fool with something like this!"

Seeing that the halo above Exusiai's head was almost turning black, Remian regretted her actions. She should have added an extra pound of sleeping pills to the juice, or gone to the living room with Mei Xue.

"Remienne, this is your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law! How dare you!"

Faced with Exusiai's questioning, Remian scratched her head helplessly, took out her communicator, pulled up her chat history with Mei Xue, and handed it over.

"...Actually, this should be your brother-in-law."

"I was here first!"

Exusiai didn't even glance at it, tossed the communicator aside, and prepared to pick up her gun and have a proper physical conversation with her good sister.

Mei Xue, who was trapped underneath, was somewhat bewildered. After all, the little fox had been through the duo of Chen Huijie and Talulah, so he didn't quite understand why Exusiai was so angry.

And speaking of first arrival, it wasn't actually Exusiai who arrived first.

"Actually, it was Sister Mostima who came first; she came seven or eight years ago."

"What do you say?"

Remian and Exusiai were both stunned.

Chapter 248 He is the miracle itself

The world was peaceful and undisturbed. The power left by Mostima effectively blocked out all external noise. Perhaps because she had come to enjoy the feeling at noon, Cecilia chose to hug Angelina's tail while sleeping.

She had a wonderful dream. She dreamt that she lived with her parents in a beautiful place full of flowers, and that her brother Meixue had become part of her family. The two of them could play together.

However, there was a door in the house that she didn't recognize but was also very familiar with. With a bit of curiosity, Cecilia walked towards that door.

Meanwhile, in the real world, in the Papal Palace of Laterano, Ivan XI gazed at the angel sculpture before him, lost in thought. As the Pope of Laterano, he knew more secrets than any Laterano could imagine, many of which were also known to the Sarkaz.

But years of wandering have turned the Tikkaz into the Sarkaz. Too many historical secrets have been buried under the yellow sand. Many Sarkaz people have forgotten their racial history and even lost their sense of self-identity, and even maintain their identity by claiming to be Sarkaz.

"Where did the thousand-year feud between the Sarkaz and the Sarkaz originate? How many people can explain it now?"

Ivan put down the cake he was holding, and there was another one on the table. He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps talking to someone who didn't exist.

“Thousands of years ago, saints came here, the bell tower was built, the bells rang, and the holy city rose from their feet. Since then, Sakota has been a paradise.”

"Everyone thinks that the Sarkaz are born Sarkaz, but few know the secret behind it. You and I are just chosen ones, Andorn."

As Ivan finished speaking, Andorn stepped out of the shadows and into the light. His eyes were filled with a variety of emotions, including curiosity, doubt, anger, and questioning, but in the end, they all turned into calm.

"Ten cavalrymen alone are not enough to take them down... Why did you do this?"

"Because you still exercise some restraint."

Ivan turned to look at Andorn. This wasn't the first time he'd seen this young man. He knew from their first meeting that Andorn's future was destined to be extraordinary, but he hadn't expected this young Sarkaz to have such lofty ambitions.

"At least, that's true for you."

"...ordinary people are not our target."

"Yes, at least you don't indiscriminately harm innocent people. In fact, I've observed that you've taken in quite a few homeless people."

Andorn remained silent. Although he had been able to keep it from Ivan without success, he hadn't expected that the old man already knew everything. However, the compassion that most Lateran people possessed made him choose to turn a blind eye.

"But Lateran is not their home, nor is it our home."

Even though he himself was a Sarkaz, Andorn still said such things. Indeed, Laterano is a good place. The people of Laterano are sunny and optimistic by nature. They can face all hardships with a smile. They will lend a helping hand to any fellow countryman in need because empathy connects them and allows them to better understand each other.

But there is only one Lateran like this, and how many people suffer on this land? Andorn has been wandering for many years, and he has seen far too much, and his questions have grown more and more. He began to question himself: Why are you a Sarkaz? Why can Lateran only be called Sarkaz and Liberi Lateran? Why is there only one paradise, a small safe house?

Amidst all that confusion, he guessed and answered time and time again, but he could never get a definite answer.

"After a long and arduous journey, you have returned here once again. Do you have the answer this time, or are you still confused?"

"...A long journey, yes, a long journey. I have traversed wilderness and crossed yellow sand. I have heard the most vicious curses and listened to the most devout prayers. Shameless sinners have begged me for redemption, and innocent children have been buried by me."

All the memories of the past flooded his mind. Over the past eight years, he had seen and heard a lot about what he had seen and heard. The number of people around him had grown from three or four at the beginning to many believers now. They did not believe in the doctrines of Lateran, but were gathered together because of Andorn. He never said anything about this behavior and just walked on by himself.

He walked ahead, followed closely by many believers. He returned to Lateran only to answer the questions in his heart.

“Ivangelista XI, why is Lateran Lateran, and why is Sakota Sakota?”

"...You are one of the few people who would think about this question. Perhaps it is precisely because you were not born in Laterano that you have this question."

Ivan's calmness surprised Andorn. The old man seemed as kind and gentle as he appeared, but he was the Pope of Laterano, and in his position, he inevitably had to deal with intrigue and bloodshed. Countless half-bloods like Cecilia had died before him.

"Andorn, child, do you remember the first chapter, first verse of the Lateran Doctrine?"

In the past, Ivan would never have said these things to Andorn, but now that he had witnessed a miracle, he knew it was time.

"..."

They will never forget that it was the first chapter of the Lateran Doctrine that every Sarkazan remembers.

"Since a certain day, the sun has disappeared, dark clouds have covered the sky, and demons have ravaged many of our compatriots..."

"Hmm, no wonder you were the only one to graduate with a perfect score. I remember you wanted to blow up the sculpture in the central square, right?"

Ivan stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and decided not to dwell on the matter any further, since it seemed to be a dark chapter in Andorn's past.

"Do you know that the scriptures do not exist solely for the purpose of propagating doctrine? Do you know why Sakorta chose to flee in the past?"

"Do you know that a miracle has happened?"

Miracles—how many people on this land yearn for miracles? No matter who you are, you will inevitably have some expectation of miracles in your heart. The sick long for a cure, the poor long for wealth, the homeless long for warmth. People have wishes, and these wishes drive them to hope for miracles to happen.

“Do you know that the reason why the Sakorta are the Sakorta is not because we have Sakorta blood flowing through our veins, but because we have been chosen by Him.”

Cecilia pushed open the door, and then she saw it—she saw Mei Xue standing in that golden ocean of faith. But unlike the one she remembered, this Mei Xue looked more mature, with ten snow-white tails behind her and golden eyes.

He seemed unaware of Cecilia's arrival, merely staring at the die in his hand. The smooth, mirrored surface held no discernible numbers, yet Mei Xue saw numerous images reflected within it.

He saw that in the first face of the dice, Talulah did not come, and Frostnova saved him; in the second face, Alina died from a betrayal by those who left Reunion; in the third face, Talulah and the Chen Huijie sisters confronted each other; in the fourth face, Rhodes Island did not rescue the Doctor, and Ace died in battle.

In the fifth phase, Hai Si adapted to the earth and sky, assimilated everything, and ventured into the starry sky; in the sixth phase, the malice from the stars once again cleansed this land; then came the sixth phase, the seventh phase…

A table appeared in front of Mei Xue, covered with countless twinkling lights. He threw the dice onto the table.

"A good ending."

As he said this, he saw Cecilia and ran happily toward her.

He is destiny, willingness, and miracle; he is the sum of the past, present, and future. He saw it and then chose the future he wanted.

Meanwhile, in the starry sky, a slight change occurred, and Mei Xue's change caused some beings to feel worried.

Chapter 249 What is a "little girlfriend"?

Cecilia had never seen such a sight before: a sea of ​​golden light, with only Mei Xue besides herself. Moreover, this Mei Xue was much older than the one from today, looking like a real older brother.

"Is this a dream, brother?"

"Well...you were definitely dreaming before you met me, but this is more like another world."

With just a thought, a chair appeared out of thin air behind Mei Xue. He hugged Cecilia and sat down together, then pointed to the dice on the table.

"Cecilia, can you see the image above?"

"Hmm...I can't see."

Cecilia shook her head; all she could see was her reflection in the smooth, mirror-like surface of the dice, nothing else.

"It must have been an accident that you got in here. Well, although I also stumbled in by accident, it's really amazing that you've grown this tall!"

Mei Xue wagged his tail smugly. He had just finished dealing with the Remi'an and Remi'le sisters and was about to take a nap when he inexplicably ended up here when he logged into the mental network.

The moment Mei Xue entered this place, she understood that she used to have ten tails, not nine. This die was like a gun to her, a medium through which the little fox could use her abilities.

However, Mei Xue hasn't found the specific method of use yet. It can only roughly influence the course of a certain event. For example, if he sees through the dice that the radical faction in Ursus is preparing to launch a large-scale siege against the Reunion Movement during the heavy snow this winter, the little fox can do something mischievous to make them get buried by the snow.

To do this, he only needs to flip the dice over.

However, Mei Xue thought that Cecilia was able to enter this place because of her own special circumstances, but it seems that it was more like an accident.

"Is this my brother's dream? It looks amazing."

"I guess so, but I don't usually appear here in my dreams. Oh right, let me introduce you to some new friends!"

Mei Xue suddenly remembered Cecilia's previous comment about lacking friends. He felt that Cecilia could definitely get along well with the cheerful Sirens. With that in mind, Mei Xue took Cecilia's hand and led her toward another door.

In the dream on the other side of the door, the sirens, who hadn't seen Mei Xue for a long time, were getting impatient. Specter was also a little anxious. You see, she was with the Rhodes Island team. Ever since she learned that Specter could communicate with Mei Xue remotely, she felt that the other girls were looking at her with suspicion.

Especially Skadi, her look in her eyes, as if she'd been betrayed by both her best friend and boyfriend, was just... hilarious!

Honestly, especially when Skadi looked at her with that resentful and pitiful gaze, Specter felt nothing but embarrassment, a secret thrill, an immense thrill. She didn't know how to describe the feeling, but she was certain she had a great sense of accomplishment.

However, for the sirens, being able to log back into this dream woven by the internet is a good thing, because it means that Mei Xue should be safe in the real world. But the fact that the little fox hasn't been online for so long is really worrying.

Fortunately, the wait was not too long. A door appeared out of nowhere and opened, and Mei Xue appeared there with Cecilia in her hand.

With her tiny white feet touching the soft sand, Mei Xue felt her field of vision return to normal. Looking back, she saw that her tail had returned to six strands, which made the little fox feel disappointed. He had thought that at least he could show everyone what he would look like when he grew up.
