Talulah, I'm still a child.

The main reason is that Kasya didn't expect that Mei Xue and Amiya were actually engaged. It seems that the little fox's past romantic entanglements don't discriminate based on age.

"Welcome back, Brother Meixue, are you alright?"

"It's nothing. Oh, by the way, this is a gift for Amiya."

Mei Xue took out a cute carrot pendant from his tail and handed it to Amiya. Before leaving, he specifically asked for a list of Rhodes Island personnel and bought a gift for everyone. He visited all the gift shops in Laterano.

Everyone, from Amiya and Kal'tsit to the boiler worker he didn't even know, received a share.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Oh, I still have to deliver gifts to everyone, so I'll leave Aunt Felia's matter to you!"

Because there are quite a few people on the list, Mei Xue needs to find everyone as soon as possible. Cecilia and Felia shouldn't be too afraid of the unfamiliar environment if they are together.

"Okay, take care, brother."

Amiya already knew about Felia and Cecilia's situation, so the little bunny naturally wouldn't neglect them. She even agreed to Felia's request to open a dessert shop on Rhodes Island. Of course, she and Theresa also quite liked desserts.

"Oh right, and this too."

The little fox suddenly remembered something, looked at the cat on her shoulder, and handed her over to Amiya.

"Could you please get Mandela checked as well? I heard he also needs to get vaccinated."

"Meow meow meow?"

Mandela was taken aback, and instinctively tried to struggle; the kitten didn't want a shot!

However, Amiya clearly noticed Mandela's emotional fluctuations and quickly comforted her.

After handing the cat to Amiya, Mei Xue waved to Cecilia to say goodbye, and then ran off.

Rhodes Island is indeed a very different place, that was Felia's first impression, because she even saw Surtr, a Sarkaz, with his arm around Exusiai's shoulder. This place was much more harmonious than she had imagined.

"Ms. Felia, we have arranged a double room for you and Cecilia. Before that, please go to the medical department for a check-up."

The handover on this side went smoothly. On the other side, Mei Xue, carrying the big tail, took out gifts and gave them to everyone she met. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the little fox was some kind of fairy in a fairy tale who delivers gifts.

“Brother ACE, here are your dumbbells.”

"This is the ice cream machine that Sister Surtr wanted."

"This is Ascalon's pillow, and the teething stick you wanted, Hong. I bought it from Syracuse."

Mei Xue gives gifts to everyone she meets without ever making a mistake, and the gifts she gives are almost always things the recipients like. Even if the little fox doesn't know the person, she just happens to give them something that suits their taste.

But as Mei Xue walked, she noticed a problem: Rosemary and Lily of the Valley hadn't come to pick her up, which was very unusual.

It's not that Mei Xue is bragging, but the little fox has the best relationship with the two of them. Rosemary even complained that Huang is not as comfortable to hug as Mei Xue.

"Well!"

Feeling her tail being grabbed, Mei Xue was instinctively startled and her fur stood on end. Then, she turned her head helplessly to look at Hong, who still had the chew toy Mei Xue had given her in her pocket. Hong was happily hugging Mei Xue's fox tail and rubbing against it.

The only thing that Red would find regrettable is that Mei Xue is not Lupo but Volpo, but as long as she can pet her tail, that's fine.

"Hong, don't suddenly pounce on me from behind next time, it's scary."

"Hong understands."

That's what she said, but whether Hong actually understood Mei Xue's meaning is another matter. Since she can't pounce from behind, she'll just pounce from the front next time.

"Good to know. By the way, Hong, have you seen any lily of the valley or rosemary?"

As her best friend, Mei Xue put extra thought into choosing gifts for Lily of the Valley and Rosemary, but it was strange that she couldn't find them now.

"I know, it's in your dorm room."

"...Why is it my dorm room?"

“They’ve been sleeping over there these days.”

At this point, Hong couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Lily of the Valley and Rosemary were really obsessed with Plum Blossom, and they would squeeze into his dormitory at night, forcing Hong to go back to his own dormitory.

"Thank you, Hong. I'll go now. I'll let you hug my tail again later."

"Gu..."

Watching Mei Xue disappear in a blur, and then glancing at her empty chest, her red ears drooped, looking quite listless. She hadn't touched them enough yet.

I wish I could pet Meixue's tail anytime, anywhere. It would be even better if I could hug her while sleeping; it would be so comfortable!

As Hong was thinking this, she suddenly remembered that Mei Xue was short of a bodyguard, and she could go to Kal'tsit to sign up.

Meanwhile, in the little fox's dormitory, Lily of the Valley and Rosemary were sitting on the sofa watching TV. During this period, the two of them had been staying there under the pretext of "cleaning Mei Xue's room." As for locking the door? Rosemary could even tear down the wall for it.

"Tie him up, don't tie him up, lock him up, don't lock him up..."

Rosemary tugged at a tuft of her hair, counting and muttering to herself, thirteen days. She hadn't seen Mei Xue for a full thirteen days. For the little kitten who had just tasted meat, this torment was too unpleasant. Therefore, Rosemary decided to plan out Mei Xue's next steps.

This includes, but is not limited to, restricting the little fox to its own (Rosemary's) dormitory and prohibiting it from contacting other members of the opposite sex.

"Today should be the day when Brother Meixue returns."

Linglan pondered that even if she didn't exchange any more information with the little fox afterward, she was 99% certain that Meixue would bring that girl named Cecilia back to Rhodes Island. There was no other reason than intuition!

That's why, like rosemary, lily of the valley chose not to go find the little fox for the time being, which is a way of expressing her anger.

But their little tantrums didn't last long before they started to hesitate, wondering if they should go. After all, if they could hug Meixue when she came back, they could definitely improve her favorability.

(No, no, you have to stick to your own ideas, Lisa. Well, at least wait until Brother Mei Xue apologizes to you before you talk to him.)

Lily of the Valley told herself this, while Rosemary finally made up her mind: tie Mei Xue up and throw her into her dorm! They'd live together from the start! At worst, she'd fight Amiya.

"Lily of the valley! Rosemary!"

As Mei Xue's slightly excited voice rang out, before the two people on the sofa could react, the little fox had already placed her hands on their shoulders and happily pressed her face against theirs.

"I'm back~"

In that instant, Rosemary and Lily of the Valley immediately forgot all their previous plans and grabbed Mei Xue, throwing her onto the sofa and pinning her down.

"Tell me, how many women did you provoke this time?"

"What's your relationship with that Cecilia?"

"Why are you only coming back now?"

A barrage of questions left Mei Xue completely bewildered. The little fox felt that these questions sounded a bit strange coming from the mouths of these two little girls. Whose question should he answer first?

After thinking for a moment, Mei Xue shook his fox ears and took out two sculptures from his tail. One was a design of Lily of the Valley and him grooming each other's tails, and the other was a design of Rosemary lying on his lap. Mei Xue had asked someone in Lateran to make these sculptures. He remembered that the other person looked at him with a rather strange gaze, a mixture of envy and a sense of awe at his potential.

"For us?"

"Yes, because the things I give you need to feel a bit more special to be better."

Mei Xue's tone didn't sound like she was lying. After all, the little fox wasn't the type to lie. Rosemary and Lily of the Valley exchanged glances, then reached out and took their own stone carvings, placing them on the table and removing them from Mei Xue's body as if nothing had happened.

"Um... I'd like to know what 'picking up women' means?"

The little fox's question made Lily of the Valley and Rosemary a little embarrassed; how could they possibly answer such a question?

Fortunately, Mei Xue herself didn't care too much. The little fox gently wagged her tail and decided to go back and ask Kal'tsit and the Doctor. Then she sat down between Lily of the Valley and Rosemary.

"I only stayed in Lateran for three days, and spent most of the rest of the time on the road. Well, I did have a meal in Syracuse on my way back."

Speaking of Syracuse, Mei Xue couldn't recall any connection she had with them. Kal'tsit was puzzled as to what kind of relationship would make Lady Sicily send someone to receive Mei Xue, and they were escorted by people from Syracuse throughout their return journey to Rhodes Island.

(It can't be that kind of thing again, right?)

Clearing her mind of distractions, Kal'tsit focused on the examination report in front of her. Since Felia had been diagnosed with the disease, all that was needed was targeted testing. The results were also clear: Laterano's scientific level was not so advanced as to misjudge Felia's condition.

"Ms. Kal'tsit, how am I...?"

Despite knowing the truth in her heart, Felia still held a sliver of hope.

"I'm sure you know the situation yourself; overall, it's not too good."

Kal'tsit put down the test report. According to her judgment, if Felia did not receive treatment, she would die from the illness within a year and a half at most. Even if she chose to receive treatment, the enormous medical expenses would quickly overwhelm the family.

"That……"

"Don't panic. This is not hopeless for Rhodes Island. The situation has not reached its worst point yet."

These words completely put Felia at ease, and the last trace of worry and depression in her heart disappeared. From now on, she would live here with her daughter.

"Your treatment will take a considerable amount of time. As we mentioned before, all you need to do is pay for the materials and materials of the medication and cooperate with the treatment. Don't worry, it won't be too much."

Even the cost of materials was a considerable expense for Felia, but Mei Xue was Rhodes Island's darling, and with the little fox around, a little medicine was nothing.

"Thank you so much, I... I don't know what to say."

Felia was filled with mixed feelings. Rhodes Island's kindness to her and Cecilia was now truly difficult to repay, but no matter what, survival was the most important thing.

"Then there's no need to say anything more. Your application has been approved. The shop to the left of the Rhodes Island cafeteria exit is yours. The annual rent is 1,000 Lungmen Dollars. You can choose to pay it off in one lump sum after three years. When you go shopping at the supermarket, just mention Mei Xue's name, and Kroos will provide you with everything you need for free."

Although she is a stingy vampire, Kroos's doting on Mei is well-known. If Mei really wanted to, she would even build a Gundam for the little fox.

Kroos only provides some material support; she might say a few words, but she won't actually do anything.

After taking a sip of her coffee, Kal'tsit felt a rare sense of relief, and her previously rapid breathing suddenly slowed down.

With that thought, she gave Felia a faint smile and did what Amiya was supposed to be doing.

Welcome to Rhodes Island.

Chapter 267 On the Asura Field

As a wise man once said, you can doubt Mei Xue's emotional intelligence, but you cannot deny his wit and instinctive reactions.

Although Mei Xue is not completely clueless about relationships most of the time, she just relies on luck, but the little fox has no shortage of luck. She can gain a lot of favorability from people with just a small, unintentional action.

The girls on Rhodes Island quite agree with this, especially Lily of the Valley and Rosemary, the latter of whom has gone from simply being attracted to the little fox's body to now being attracted to every part of it.

"Thank you, Mei Xue. I don't know how I would have been able to move so many things without you."

Looking at the large and small bags in front of her, Felia hadn't expected that she would have crammed so much into Meixue's tail during her move, even bringing Cecilia's little bed.

"It's alright, Auntie, it's not a big deal anyway."

Mei Xue twitched her ears, while Cecilia was still petting his tail. At the same time, she curiously looked around her new home. Considering that they needed a good environment to recuperate, Amiya specially arranged a dormitory with floor-to-ceiling windows for them.

"Do you need any further help?"

"No need, I can handle the rest myself. There's not much left anyway."
