Talulah, I'm still a child.

Everyone except Ghost Shark fell silent. Nian's eyelids twitched. Wait a minute, could it be that Cecilia is really going to be his sister?

"Hello everyone."

Not to mention Cecilia, even Felia was somewhat uncomfortable with this scene. Why were they all women, and why did Mei Xue call them all "sister"? How many sisters did he have?

"Alright, alright, stop crowding here. Huang, you go and take charge of the handover with the Lateran people. The rest of you, go pack your things."

Kal'tsit was alright; Mei Xue had sent her a message about Felia, and it was because she had clearly stated that she could heal her that the little fox was determined to take them to Rhodes Island.

Despite some dissatisfaction, no one said anything; as long as Mei Xue was alright, that was the best outcome.

Kal'tsit!

The little fox was overjoyed to see Kal'tsit again. He rushed in front of her in a flash, and before Kal'tsit could say anything, he jumped up and clung to her, kissing her on the lips, leaving Kal'tsit completely stunned.

Of course, the other older women were equally bewildered.

What happened? Why did Mei Xue kiss Kal'tsit? When did their relationship become so close? Did Mei Xue regain her memories?

A series of question marks flashed through everyone's minds, especially Nian. This girl was now afraid that Mei Xue would just point to someone other than herself and say: "This is your stepmother, come and get to know her."

Just thinking about it is terrifying enough; imagine if it became a reality!

I miss you so much~

Mei Xue ignored the strange looks from others and buried her head in Kal'tsit's arms, rubbing against her. Although the plastic jacket was a bit uncomfortable, Kal'tsit's figure was quite good, much better than Mandela's, who was jealous.

But since the kitten couldn't do anything to Mei Xue, it turned its hateful gaze towards Mostima, who was the one who came up with the bad idea!

They said that if Meixue acted cute towards Kal'tsit, it would be fine, and that a kiss would guarantee that the guy wouldn't pursue the matter. Now look what happened, he really didn't pursue it. Damn it, Kal'tsit doesn't even know where to put her hands.

Even Kal'tsit had never seen anything like this before. Back then, Mei Xue would at most give them a hug when they returned from a mission, and kisses were always private matters. Mei Xue's antics caused Kal'tsit's brain to briefly freeze.

They can stick to each other, they can stick to each other. If Mei Xue dares to do this when they are alone, then one of them will be stuck in bed and have to ask the other to bring them food.

But with so many people watching, even Kal'tsit can't just pretend nothing happened.

"I understand, come down quickly."

Although she secretly wished, like everyone else, to devour this clingy, alluring, and seductive little fox on the spot, Kal'tsit still expressionlessly picked him up and placed him on the ground.

As the saying goes, something unusual must be amiss. As someone who has lived for countless years and whose age is greater than the sum of her years and her reign, Kal'tsit is clearly not blinded by such a sudden benefit.

Therefore, she quickly went through all the possible scenarios in her mind. Had Mei Xue been blacklisted by the Lateran lottery dealer again? That shouldn't be the case; the little fox wasn't short of money.

He couldn't have blown up Laterano, could he? That wouldn't warrant such a reaction, since Laterano people are known for their ruthlessness when it comes to bombing their own base, unless Mei Xue throws a Doom Mushroom.

Could it be that she's come out of the closet again? No, Mei Xue doesn't even know what coming out of the closet means, and this isn't the first or second time this has happened.

After much thought, Kal'tsit could only come up with one possibility. She frowned slightly as she looked at Mei Xue, who seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Didn't you finish your homework?"

The outcome was decided in an instant. Mei Xue's defeat was a foregone conclusion. The little fox, whose secret had been exposed, couldn't help but bristle. He instinctively wanted to cover his face with his tail in a self-deceptive act, or hide behind Shining and Huang, since those two were the ones who doted on him the most.

"Yes……"

Mei Xue's voice was barely audible, and her tail swayed restlessly behind her back, making people feel a little sorry for her. Kal'tsit was even more surprised that the little fox would compromise for such a thing. Could it be that such a small thing could make Mei Xue so obedient and proactive?

Some not-so-good but rather wicked ideas flashed through everyone's minds in an instant, mainly because Mei Xue's appearance was indeed very easy to make people have some bad thoughts.

"It's okay if you didn't finish it. Anyway, it was an extra task, and at least it proves that you had a lot of fun."

Despite saying that, if the little fox hadn't given her that kiss and kiss earlier, Kal'tsit would definitely have found a reason to teach him a lesson (especially when the two of them were together).

However, having already received all the benefits, it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything more, at least in front of so many people, he still had to give the little fox some face.

"Yay! I knew Kal'tsit was the best!"

This time, Mei Xue's joy was genuine. She happily tiptoed, reached out and hooked her arm around Kal'tsit's neck, giving her a sincere kiss. Shining and Blaze, among others, didn't frown; the former because of Liz, and the latter because of themselves.

Now that she didn't have to worry about not having TV to watch when she got back, Mei Xue happily went to catch up with her sisters, bringing Cecilia along as well, which conveniently left Felia and Kal'tsit some alone time.

(Just you wait, you'll regret this when you get back.)

Watching Mei Xue and Cecilia run away, Kal'tsit wiped the corner of her mouth. Mei Xue must have eaten cream cake just now; she had a sweet tongue.

"You must be Ms. Felia."

"Yes, you must be Dr. Kal'tsit."

Well, after witnessing Mei Xue's series of actions, Felia didn't know what to say to Kal'tsit. However, she felt that Kal'tsit looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't remember whether she had seen her before.

“I’ve already learned about your situation from Mei Xue and the office, but we’ll need to examine it more carefully after we get back to Rhodes Island.”

Felia's disease is not very common, but Kal'tsit has lived too long and knows too much and has seen too much. She is certainly confident that she can cure Felia. In fact, she had already sent out the treatment method for this disease along with the medical paper, but it did not attract any attention.

"Thank you very much."

"...Your daughter is lovely, she shouldn't have lost her mother."

Looking at Cecilia over there, Kal'tsit thought of Louisa (Aya) who was still on Rhodes Island. Her mother, Lilia, was also one of her students. The sarcophagus incident in Chernobog caused her to lose her mother. Fortunately, the girl was very strong and did not immerse herself in the pain of losing her loved ones.

"Ah!"

Lilia suddenly sneezed, picked up the thermometer and took her temperature, only to find that she didn't have a cold.

"Could it be that Mei Xue is thinking of me? That's unlikely, since he has lost his memory."

"Sigh, I really want to see Meixue."

Scratching her head in exasperation, Lilia explained that it wasn't that she disliked the Reunion Movement, but rather that she had been living in anonymity for so many years, having to hide from Kal'tsit and even having to sneak around to meet her daughter, which was truly unbearable.

Moreover, she arrived quite late. Bai'e and the others had already joined the integration before she rushed over, so she naturally didn't see Mei Xue. The more she thought about it, the more regrettable she felt.

"It's been so many years already."

Recalling the past, Lilia was filled with emotion. Her husband's death had almost driven her to the abyss of revenge, but fortunately, the Doctor and Mei Xue saved her in time. Otherwise, the guards' blades would have mercilessly severed her head.

But Lilia still didn't understand why the Doctor didn't intend to let Kal'tsit know that she was still alive, but instead had her change her appearance and manage their businesses in Columbia for so many years, just so that she could join the Reunion Movement later.

"Dr. Lilia, what are you thinking about?"

Mephisto, who had just finished his studies, was quite curious. He rarely saw Lilia lost in thought. This head of the Reunion Movement's medical department had impressed everyone with her superb medical skills.

In addition to her mature demeanor and outstanding appearance, she has many suitors within the Reunion Movement.

"Hmm... I'm thinking about my daughter."

"You're already married?"

"Yes, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite grown up, and my daughter is an adult too."

Lilia covered her mouth and chuckled. Her appearance hadn't changed at all since more than ten years ago, thanks to Mei Xue, who made it impossible to tell from her appearance alone.

"This is something I never expected, but quite a few people will be upset now. So why did you join our integration?"

"Because my husband... eighteen years ago, he and our other colleagues died in an Ursus conspiracy."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up."

Mephistopheles thought he had brought up Lilia's painful past, but she shook her head.

“Eighteen years have passed, my daughter is already an adult, and I have long since let go of it. You don’t need to worry about it.”

"And your daughter is..."

"She's on Rhode Island, working with my former teacher to help others. We haven't seen each other for a while, but we keep in touch by letter."

Lilia rested her chin on her hand as she tidied up everything on the table. Mephistopheles left first. After making sure no one else was around, Lilia took out a photograph from her bosom. It showed Mei Xue, herself, and Louisa, the three of them sitting around a table, chatting and laughing, looking exceptionally happy.

Whenever Lilia misses Meixue or her daughter, she takes out this photo and looks at it.

"I wonder if Louisa can win Mei Xue's heart. Don't let me down."

Touching the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, Lilia felt somewhat inferior. After all, she had been married and had a husband, so it wasn't appropriate for her to get involved in the struggles of Kal'tsit and the others. However, she never exposed her daughter's little schemes.

If the current PhD student knew what she was thinking, she would probably say: "Madam, calm down!"

"Meixue, I miss you so much..."

Perhaps it was some kind of premonition, but the little fox on the other side suddenly felt someone calling it, but after coming to its senses, it realized that it was just an illusion.

Shaking her head, Cecilia led him to Ghost Shark. Although they had only met in dreams before, Cecilia wasn't so scared now that she saw him in person. Instead, she greeted Ghost Shark proactively.

"Sister Laurentina!"

"Hey, let your big sister give you a hug!"

Ghost Shark bent down and hugged Cecilia to her chest, nuzzling her gently. She really liked this little girl; she was cute, well-behaved, and sensible, just like Mei Xue, and she wouldn't become her rival in love!

"Mmm, our Cecilia smells so good."

Ghost Shark sniffed Cecilia, her smile appearing exceptionally gentle, though she was more inclined to be cunning.

The older women over there were even more confused when they saw this scene. How come this new little girl seems to know Ghost Shark too?

"Mei Xue~!"

Huang gently placed her hand on the little fox's shoulder, ignoring the questioning looks from Cecilia and Specter, and pulled the little fox away. She needed to confirm some things with the little fox.

Chapter 265 The Possibilities of Fate

What is God? Cicero pondered this question countless times. As a bishop of the deep sea, he inevitably encountered this question during his corresponding research.

Among the Sealings, there exist individuals who can be called gods, namely the firstborn, the earliest Sealings. Despite possessing the powers and bodies of giant beasts, and even though all existing Sealings are their offspring, they cannot be considered gods, nor can their fathers.

But in the vast collection of memories passed down from the Sea King, Cicero knew that God existed, which once plunged him into confusion.

As his research progressed, Cicero soon realized that this was a question he didn't need to delve too deeply into. Yes, God is God; there was no need to explain His true nature, understand His intentions, or speculate on His origins.

As a scientist, Cicero's only goal was to steal the olive branch that the gods were about to extend to humanity. Unlike Quintus, who obsessively transformed himself into a sea creature and became lost in it, and unlike the Amayas, who loathed humanity, Cicero's true desire was evolution, to help humanity evolve better, until it reached perfection.

When things reach that point, whether it's Oripathy or natural disasters, humanity will naturally have the ability to solve these problems.

"A miracle from the gods..."

Cicero murmured, looking at the floating island in the sea not far away. He had been following the other side like this for several days. Relying on the special properties of his body, he had no problem surviving at sea.

After learning about the existence of this new species from Haisi, Cicero felt he was one step closer to his goal; the Sirens, in his eyes, were exactly the kind of humans he envisioned.

They possess the aura of the sea, and the vast network can sense them, but they are free to choose whether to join. This indicates that these creatures share the same origin as the Sealings. If it weren't for the fact that Ulpian was also on the island, Cicero wouldn't have hesitated to negotiate with him.

Of course, if you go now, you'll most likely be hunted down by Ulpian with his anchor.

Although he didn't know why most of the people on the list were petite women, Cicero was pretty sure from his observations that the Sirens had evolved ahead of Terra. Individuals in this species had independent thoughts, but also a highly unified group mentality, and they were incredibly powerful.
