Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Hmm, this thing is amazing. Hmm... although I don't know exactly how to use it yet, it should be mine."

The little fox reached out and poked it. He had been pondering it for quite a while in that golden room, but he had only just barely figured out how to use it.

Cecilia curiously reached out and poked it. The die swayed in Mei Xue's hand, but didn't change sides.

"So, the skeleton on the seabed really is the owner's..."

Amaya raised an eyebrow. If that's really the case, then Meixue is already gone, right? But the little fox is still perfectly fine.

"It might be mine, um... but I'm not sure exactly what it is. I'll ask the other sisters later."

Mei Xue still remembers that Xi is in her tail. She should find an opportunity to ask her about it later. She should know more or less about it.

Meanwhile, in the Lateran Papal Palace, Andorn and Ivan were still locked in a standoff. Faced with a series of questions from Ivan, Andorn realized that he was confronting a behemoth, a colossal monster called the Truth.

Ivan XI was just the tip of the iceberg of this truth. Compared to this old man, Andorn felt an invisible pressure, a feeling as powerless as when he was young and faced the dark clouds of natural disaster.

“I know you want everyone to be a Sarkaz, you want Laterano to be more than just a paradise, it should be a heaven for everyone, but Andorn, whether or not we become Sarkaz is not a choice we hold in our hands.”

Andorn gripped his musket tightly. He and Ivan both knew that the fighting at the Rhodes Island office had subsided, which meant that the musketeers were heading this way.

For the past eight years, he has constantly questioned his conscience and pondered the future. Even now, he still wants to know the answer: Why? Why should those with a conscience die? Why should everything he cherishes be destroyed?

"If you want to know the truth, follow me."

Ivan had his back to Andorn, seemingly unconcerned that he would be shot from behind. Andorn eventually calmed down and followed behind Ivan. If he couldn't control himself, how could he be qualified to lead others forward?

The two proceeded deeper underground into the Papal Palace, guided by halos above their heads, with their distinguished ancestors standing on either side.

Along the path of Andorn, the first generation of saints stand here. They created Laterano, they witnessed everything. At the very bottom of the saints' statues is inscribed a sentence: Every miracle has a price, every outcome is but destiny. God loves Laterano, God favors Sarkaz, the law is God's rule.

They finally arrived at a dark room where their auras could only illuminate their surroundings. Andorn heard a faint buzzing sound. Ivan turned to look at him, his eyes no longer showing the same kindness as before.

“Andorn, I ask you, have you ever considered why the law can bind us? Is it because of the moral shackles in our hearts, or because of… the law itself?”

Ivan's words made Andorn think deeply. This was a direction he had never considered before. He had always believed that what bound the Sarkaz was not the law, but their own hearts. Laterano had merely created a set of laws that every Sarkaz had come to regard as their standard.

But judging from Ivan's current appearance, the truth seems to be different.

"It seems you already have a guess, then... child, this is the answer you've been looking for."

The halo above Ivan's head flickered, and the next moment, Andorn felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake. Light began to appear on the ground around him—no, it was the walls rising up, revealing what was hidden behind them.

When Andorn realized what he was about to see, he clearly felt panicked. He instinctively wanted to close his eyes and attribute it all to an illusion, but no matter how he tried to escape, the facts were the facts, and the law was the law.

This law will not change because of worldly morality or the explanations of others; its existence is so unshakable, regardless of whether one's faith is devout or not. If this is the law of Lateran, then it is indeed the only plausible explanation.

Andorn suddenly felt unsteady on his feet. Was it because this enormous being was punishing his rudeness? No, how could it be? It was just that doubts began to creep into his heart. How could he, and the Sarkaz who were kept in the dark, accept this fact?

"In the eyes of the law, we arrive at the same destination by different paths, and it is because it allows that I have shown you this side of myself..."

"What exactly is...it?"

Facing Andorn, or rather, the question every pope asks, Ivan turned to look at it. The machine hummed deeply, and ancient symbols flashed on the screen—it was the secret of Sakorta.

"This is the law."

This is the law, yes, Andorn's aura so clearly told him that this was the entity that had always linked countless Sarkaz together.

"...One of its rules is that people crave miracles, and so fate bestows its gifts upon them."

"The name of this miracle is Mei Xue."

Chapter 251 Mei Xue's New Pet

In the early morning, what woke Exusiai was not the familiar alarm clock, but the panting of her older sister Remian. Exusiai, who had just woken up, immediately realized what her older sister was doing, but after a whole night of hard work, all she wanted to do was sleep!

Last night, after discovering what happened between her sister and Meixue, Exusiai originally wanted to criticize them loudly. Then she learned that Mostima had arrived first, so the two sisters thought about finding a time to bury Mostima.

But then Exusiai realized, how the hell did her older sister manage to have an online romance with Mei in Laterano?

However, all the tension and resentment vanished with Mei Xue's question, "Sister, would you like to come along?"

Then, Exusiai, looking flustered, was controlled by her older sister and half-heartedly joined in. After that... she was bullied by her sister and Mei Xue until she cried and begged for mercy, experiencing the fear of being dominated by her sister again.

She remembered falling asleep around four o'clock last night, when Mei Xue and Remian were still having sex, but now...

"It's only 7:30! You two didn't play games all night, did you?!"

Unable to bear the noise any longer, Exusiai roared and sat up. The blanket slipped off her body, revealing her fair skin and the remaining marks. The smell lingered in the air for a long time. Mei Xue, who was massaging Remian's back with her tail, twitched her fox ears and hugged her tail somewhat embarrassedly. He said that they should do it outside.

"It's just a simple massage, Xiao Le, are you misunderstanding something?"

Lying on the bed, Remi'an smiled, resting her chin on her hand. In fact, she had deliberately made those sounds earlier, partly to tease Mei Xue and see how long the little fox could endure it, and partly to wake up her good sister.

"Sister, the sounds you made are very misleading!"

"But it really is very comfortable."

"Couldn't you keep your voice down or do it outside?"

"Because I'm tired, Xiao Le, you know that, right? My back aches, my legs feel weak, I'm so tired."

"So I need to sleep too, sis, can't you...can't you..."

Watching Remien and Exusiai bickering, Mei Xue chose to put away her tail and get up to make them breakfast. The little fox didn't go to sleep until after 5 a.m. last night, and then played with the Sirens for a long time in her dream. Although she was usually quite energetic, she was actually a little sleepy at this moment.

"Can't you do what?"

"Can't you bear it for a little while? You went to bed later than me last night. I remember Mei Xue gave you five or six times. Doesn't it hurt?"

"It hurts a bit, so I used my mouth to get up this morning. But I didn't expect Mei Xue to have such good stamina. Neither of us could hold on."

(It's over, my sister is ruined)

Exusiai covered her face helplessly. Sure enough, Mei Xue's luck with women was just too much. Others might have one or two suitors, but this little fox had moved into a peach orchard. The girls from Penguin Logistics, her sister, Superintendent Chen, and all those women on Rhodes Island—it was quite frustrating for Exusiai to fall for Mei Xue.

"Sigh, sis, you're not worried about not finding someone to marry, so why do you have to compete with me for a husband?"

"...Are you married?"

"Oh, no, not at all."

"So he's already married?"

"Well... I don't think so. Or rather, I don't even have a girlfriend."

Seeing that her sister had said that, Remynian couldn't help but shake her head and smile, wiping the marks on her hands and then pointing to herself.

"That's me. Mei Xue promised me back then, so Xiao Le, you should call Mei Xue brother-in-law."

"Is this relationship really that messed up? Does that mean I'm... messing with my brother-in-law?"

Now it was Exusiai's turn to be dumbfounded. What was all this about? But then again, Mei Xue really was her brother-in-law. Hmm... why does it feel so exciting to think about it like this? No, no, Remuel, wake up!

Leaving aside the sisters' affairs for now, in the kitchen on the other side, Mei Xue was cooking with her tail while curiously examining the object in her hand. The little fox currently only knew that this thing could roughly help him see the future development and make choices in certain matters.

Logically speaking, this ability is indeed very strong, but Mei Xue has seen the fox in Kamen Rider. The little fox is certain that abusing this ability will lead to bad things, so at most he will treat this thing as a toy.

Furthermore, after discussing it with the Sirens last night, we discovered that this die is only affected by Mei Xue; no matter who throws it, the original number remains unchanged.

"By the way, where did my sister go?"

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears. The little fox suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her sister since yesterday. Could it be that she was caught when she flew away? But her sister could pass through walls, so she shouldn't be under anyone's control.

After packing breakfast, Mei Xue figured that Remien and Exusiai wouldn't be able to get out of bed this morning. However, to prevent herself from becoming their breakfast, the little fox still used her tail to deliver the food. Then she planned to go to Rhodes Island's office to find Cecilia, who had mentioned last night that she was there.

However, since Cecilia was at Rhodes Island's office, it proved that Aunt Felia had decided to go to Rhodes Island for treatment. Mei Xue happily wagged her tail, humming a song as she walked out the door with tiny, cat-like steps.

Just as Fiameta got out of the car to call them, she spotted the cheerful little fox. Well, it has to be said that although Mostima people aren't great, they do have good taste. Mei Xue's cuteness is the kind that everyone would like, especially the way she wags her tail with a cat-like gait. It just makes you want to pet her a couple of times.

(No, no, Fiameta, what are you thinking? If you keep going down this path, you'll end up like Mostima.)

Fiameta quickly shook her head, intending to follow, but then discovered that Mei Xue had disappeared while she was in a daze.

"This little fox walks so fast?"

Mei Xue is indeed very fast. Generally speaking, if there is no one else around, the little fox will subconsciously not control her speed. Therefore, Mei Xue's figure can often be seen flashing by on Rhodes Island.

But the little fox disappeared because he saw the blue butterfly around the corner, which was undoubtedly his sister, Su Xue'er.

"Sister, why did you bring me here?"

Although Mei Xue knew that the butterfly in front of her could understand her words, Su Xue'er couldn't answer right now. As a butterfly, the things it could do were quite limited, namely, modifying other people's memories or hypnotizing them.

Fortunately, Mei Xue was lucky. The little fox only followed her around a few corners before she saw Mandela sitting by the roadside in a hospital gown. It was a bit chilly in Lateran at night, and she was wearing very little clothing. In addition, she didn't have any status, so she simply slept in this alley last night.

Mei Xue recognized her immediately; she was the poor cat who had been hit on the head by a flowerpot yesterday. The little fox thought for a moment, then reached out and touched the blue butterfly that was perched on her shoulder.

"Sister, do you want me to help her?"

The butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, and it was hard to tell whether it was nodding or disagreeing. Mei Xue squatted down and reached out to poke Mandela's ear.

"Big sister, big sister, are you alright?"

Mandra slowly opened her eyes after her ear was poked. She regretted running out yesterday without knowing Mei Xue's location, which resulted in having to spend the night in this place and catching a cold.

"Ugh...Master!"

However, when Mandela saw Mei Xue clearly, his joy outweighed everything. He didn't care that he was still wearing a hospital gown and pounced on her, pinning her down and burying his head in the little fox's arms, rubbing against her.

The little fox smells wonderful; it seems to smell like lilies today. Because some of her memories were modified by Su Xue'er, Mandra and Mei Xue's way of getting along subconsciously referenced the siblings' past... well, to be precise, some of Su Xue'er's personal hobbies.

"???"

However, Mei Xue was unaware of all this. The little fox was completely bewildered when Mandela pounced on her, leaving her covered in mud and dust. If Mandela hadn't shown no obvious malice, Mei Xue would have definitely flung her away with her tail. Even Talulah was afraid of Mei Xue hitting her.

"Big sister, who are you?"

"I...I am..."

"Mei Xue!"

Fiameta appeared in the alley, carrying her gun. The little fox's voice had made her instinctively think Mei Xue was in danger, but it turned out...

"A cat?"

Looking at the black cat on Mei Xue's body, Fia Meta never expected it to be like this. By the way, what's with the hospital gown next to Mei Xue?

"Where did this stray cat come from?"

Somewhat puzzled, Fiameta walked over to Meixue and reached out to pull Mandela up. The more she looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong, but her imagination wasn't wild enough to connect the cat with a person.

But the kitten couldn't stand these words. If it weren't for Mei Xue's presence, Mandra would have definitely slashed Fiamet's face.

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow!"
