Talulah, I'm still a child.

Ivan stroked his beard. Actually, this was what Andorn told him when he left last night. After experiencing so many shocks, Andorn really needed to think things through.

To be fair, Ivan genuinely hopes that Andorn can pull himself together, after all, he sees a future in this young man.

"So you think Arturo has reached a cooperation agreement with Andorn?"

"It's more likely just a verbal agreement, but we need to be on high alert no matter what."

"Yes!"

Chapter 254 Mei Xue's New Daughter

The Church of the Requiem is a place where the dead are buried and where souls are guided to the afterlife. But today, the people in the church noticed a little nun, a walpper, who didn't look very old.

Ultimately, it's because Mei Xue's appearance is too androgynous, and her temperament is more obedient and gentle, so after wearing this outfit, she looks like a cute little nun.

"This is the Church of Requiem..."

Holding the obedient Mandela in one hand, Mei Xue twitched her fox ears and looked at the church in front of her. On the stone tablet at the entrance, a few words were engraved: "Everyone's life has its own unique splendor, but death is the only thing we have in common in our destiny. There is no need to fear death. If fear can keep death away from you, then it is not worth fearing. The body is buried under flowers, and the soul goes to God's side."

For some reason, Mei Xue was somewhat reluctant to go inside. It wasn't that Mei Xue had any psychological aversion to such a place or was worried about danger inside; in fact, the little fox's intuition didn't react at all.

But for some reason, the words inscribed on the stone tablet made him very uncomfortable.

"Actually, I don't like what's written on it either, and we're planning to change it."

Arturo's voice sounded from behind. Mei Xue swayed her tail and looked at her. It was indeed a face that he was very familiar with. The little fox even subconsciously took a half step back, making Arturo, who had originally planned to pick her up and lift her up high, feel extremely embarrassed.

"Why are you so afraid of me? I'm not going to eat you..."

"Instinctive reaction."

"You're quite honest, tsk tsk, this outfit... has a very inappropriate feel for children."

With a slight brow furrow, Arturo scrutinized Mei Xue's attire and couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration. After all, she doubted any Mei Xue enthusiast could resist this combination of a nun's habit with a black camisole and sandals.

"So, you are Arturo?"

"It's me. It seems you really did come alone. But Federico should be arriving soon. Sigh, this mess is such a hassle."

Although he didn't seem like a good person, Mei Xue didn't sense any malice from Arturo. On the contrary, the little fox subconsciously felt that the other party couldn't possibly hurt her.

Arturo is indeed a beautiful woman, but anyone who observes her closely will notice her danger. As a fellow fallen angel, Arturo gives off a far more dangerous vibe than Mostima, and the halo above her head constantly exudes a chilling aura.

Seeing that Mei Xue seemed somewhat wary of him, Arturo rubbed his temples helplessly.

"Odd changes, even remains the same!"

"The sign indicates the quadrant!"

Mei Xue subconsciously picked up on the second sentence, then scratched her head, somewhat puzzled. Clearly, the little fox himself didn't understand what the sentence meant; it was just an instinctive response.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

"Mei Xue is 1.5 meters tall... Why do I suddenly feel a little sad?"

Mei Xue, who instinctively chimed in, suddenly felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart. After all, the little fox wasn't actually 1.5 meters tall. Arturo, on the other hand, nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, come inside with me. This isn't a suitable place to chat."

According to Arturo's estimate, it would take some time for Lateran to realize that she was hiding here, and before that, she could tell him what she needed to say and what Meixue could know now.

(This guy's aura is really weird...)

Mandra, nestled in Mei Xue's arms, looked up. Perhaps it was because she had become a cat and had some kind of feeling that ordinary people didn't have, but Mandra could sense that something was wrong with Arturo in front of her. Beneath his cold exterior lay extremes, and after a long period of thought feedback, there would always be a momentary rebound, the clenched fists from time to time being the best proof.

While it's normal for people to contradict themselves on decisions made just a second ago, Arturo's frequency is far too high.

(Dual personality?)

Mandra gently licked her paw. Hmm, she wondered why she had become more and more accustomed to doing this kind of thing since turning into a cat. But since it was certain that Arturo had a dual personality and that the two personalities did not get along well, it seemed that she needed to be careful. At least when she turned into a cat, she did not need a staff to use Originium Arts, or did the staff become one with her?

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much. Anyway, being a cat is pretty good now. I don't have to go to work or worry about making a living. Staying by Meixue's side is just as bad as I thought. My cat life is perfect.

Although the Church of Requiem is a solemn place in Laterano, its decorations appear particularly simple due to the solemn atmosphere it always has. Along the way, many people greeted Mei Xue. To the little fox's surprise, in addition to Sarkaz and Liberi, there was also Caprini, and even Sarkaz.

"There are so many people here! Oh, Sarkaz, your horns are showing!"

Knowing that Sarkaz cannot appear freely in Laterano, Mei Xue kindly reminded the Sarkaz when she saw one.

"Ah, ah... little nun, you've mistaken me. This is Caprini's horn, not Sarkaz's."

The Sarkaz woman who was called over panicked when she saw Mei Xue. She quickly shook her head to deny it, but honestly covered her horns with her hood, thinking to herself that she hadn't heard anyone mention that outsiders would be coming.

“How could I be wrong? Many of my sisters are Sarkaz, such as Surtr, Mudrock, and Theresia, and even my grandfather Bozogasti is a Sarkaz.”

"Haha, but I really... wait a minute, who did you just say was your grandfather, and who was your sister?"

The Sarkaz girl finally realized what important name she had just heard from Mei Xue. Did the little nun mean that the deceased Princess Theresia was her sister?

"I didn't say anything!"

Realizing she had accidentally let something slip, Mei Xue quickly covered her mouth, her tail wagging behind her. The matter of the Reunion Movement had to be kept secret, and because of her amnesia, Mei Xue's impression of Theresa was still based on photos. But lately, the little fox seemed to be having trouble keeping her mouth shut.

"But I clearly heard... Wait, you're a boy?!"

Looking at the familiar white fox tail and the golden bell around its neck, the Sarkaz woman finally remembered where she had seen it before, but it was many years ago, so she couldn't recall it at the moment.

"Yeah, can't you tell?"

"Who could tell that!"

Rosella couldn't help but mutter a complaint. After all, Mei Xue's appearance was indeed quite deceptive. The main reason was that her nun's habit always made people unconsciously focus their attention on the little fox's tail or legs, and naturally they would notice his face later.

"So, is your name Mei Xue?"

"...Big sister, have you seen me before?"

"I've met you."

Rosella nodded, but didn't tell Mei Xue that she had recently seen her on the bounty poster issued by Theresis. Of course, they had also met a few years ago, but Rosella was still young then, and Mei Xue probably wouldn't remember her.

However, if it is Mei Xue, then it is not difficult to understand why he knows Theresa. It is said that there was some unclear relationship between Mei Xue and Theresa back then. It is unknown whether it is true or not. If it is true, then the little fox's status in Sarkaz may have increased by a lot.

"Big sister, do you know anything about my past? I don't remember anything."

I've only heard bits and pieces about your past.

Rosella thought about it. After all, she didn't really know Mei Xue, but that period was the time of the Sarkaz civil war. The conflict between Theresis and the Sarkaz Military Council, Theresa and Babel Tower even spread to other countries. Mei Xue's occasional appearances caused quite a few rumors to circulate among the Sarkaz. It was said that some people had even seen Mei Xue spend the night in Theresa's room.

What kinds are they?

Mei Xue ignored the somewhat speechless Arturo beside her and focused on chatting with Rosella.

"Um, for example, Theresa's personal body pillow, the Great Banshee's secret lover, and... I don't know the rest!"

Rosella was about to continue speaking when Mandra and Arturo's sharp gazes made her instinctively shut up. Speaking of Arturo, that fallen angel, well, the cat in Mei Xue's arms looked like it wanted to eat people.

"I see. But thank you for telling me all this anyway."

Although she didn't know who the Great Banshee was, that didn't stop the little fox from thanking Rosera, handing her an apple, and then following Arturo inside.

In a room in a castle on the other side, a Sarkaz woman lying on a large bed sneezed, then pulled the blankets up a bit, making sure to cover herself with the custom-made Plum Snow pillow as well, and then hugged it to herself and rubbed it against her.

"I heard Mei Xue has returned to Rhodes Island. Oh dear, should I go there myself? But Kal'tsit and Ascalon are definitely wary of me."

"How about we have that child invite Mei Xue over to our place as a guest?"

As the former Great Banshee, Logos' mother was not significantly affected by the Sarkaz civil war. Theresis would not take action against a former member of the royal court just because she sided with Theresia in the past. Moreover, the influence of the Banshee leader was considerable, and rashly taking action against her would only invite unnecessary trouble.

Of course, they don't have time to deal with this side now, as Mei Xue has made them miserable.

However, the one who gives the Great Banshee the biggest headache is Kal'tsit. Back when Theresa was watching Mei Xue, she could still sneak a bite once or twice, but after Kal'tsit noticed her, it became so difficult for her to even see Mei Xue.

It seems that Logos is also somewhat dissatisfied with her decision. He and Meixue have such a good relationship, so it wouldn't be a problem for Meixue to be his stepfather, since the little fox is not young anymore.

"The child's rebellious phase? Forget about it."

The great succubus shook her head, intending to continue sleeping, but then she discovered a letter inexplicably on her bedside table. It hadn't been there before, but she wasn't surprised; this wasn't the first time.

"Let me see what my pen pal wrote to me... Hmm, so there are records about Mei Xue in Fairy Tale Castle too, no, not just these?"

The fairytale castle is a place from a Victorian folktale. It is said that in the land of elves, there is a magnificent castle where dream fairies live. Good children will be invited to visit the castle in their dreams and spend a wonderful time with the fairies.

Then, during the dream phase, the children can choose to entrust their precious possessions to the castle's owner for safekeeping, to be retrieved in the future.

According to the information she obtained from her communication with the Fairy Tale Castle, Mei Xue and Miss Doctor did not simply visit, but rather... sought help?

"But what exactly is it? If it were kept in its own tail, it would be guaranteed not to change over time, and there would be no need to worry about losing it."

Having fought in bed together, the Great Demoness knew a great deal about some of Mei Xue's abilities. Her strange storage of items alone was enough to make anyone's heart flutter. For a moment, she couldn't think of any reason why Mei Xue would need to entrust something to someone else for safekeeping.

"Could it be that something can't be put in the tail? But only living animals can... No way..."

For a fleeting moment, a thought crossed the Great Banshee's mind, but she dismissed it. How could that be? That kind of thing was simply... But if it were Mei Xue and the Doctor, she subconsciously didn't want to argue, because the power that the two of them could unleash together was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Unfortunately, even though the Great Banshee could prove her relationship with Mei Xue, the Fairy Tale Castle was only willing to reveal this much information to her. Moreover, according to the letter, this was something the Doctor had calculated in advance that someone would discover this clue, and deliberately had this side tell her; otherwise, the other side wouldn't have given her a single word.

"Hiss... Could Mei Xue also be involved with that old woman over there?"

The Great Banshee sensed a crisis. She was happy for a long time when Logos wrote to her saying that Mei Xue had returned to Rhodes Island, but she became reluctant to go after hearing that there were more women on Rhodes Island. She knew that life there would be difficult.

But now it seems that there are quite a few women connected to Mei Xue. Everyone says that this little fox has incredibly good luck. Well... romantic luck is luck too.

"No... Someone, pack your things, we're going to Rhodes Island!"

Mei Xue, who was in the Lateran Requiem Church, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for some reason, as if she were being stared at by some terrifying monster. She subconsciously looked back, but there was no one there except for Arturo.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a chill down my back."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's probably just that woman having designs on you behind your back again."

Arturo appeared remarkably adept, even casually picking up a glass of juice and drinking it.

"How did you know?"

"Oh, you mean this?"

Hearing this question, Arturo seemed somewhat disdainful, but he still put down his juice, first pointing at Mei Xue, and then at himself.

"Because I am you, or rather... a part of you."

"……ha?!"

"Meow meow meow!?"
