Talulah, I'm still a child.

As for Little K? She's already bigger than Lily of the Valley, Rosemary, and Witch's combined. Add Amiya and she'd be a match. Little rabbits have never lost in terms of nutrition for growth, but Little K is indeed a bit over the top in terms of development.

"how so……"

Huang was more surprised than ashamed. Could someone explain what was going on? She was the one who dealt the cards, and Mei Xue hadn't even touched them. How come this little fox always got the best cards? No matter what Huang did, whether it was changing the order of dealing, temporarily changing the cards, or anything else, she couldn't change the situation.

This led to the scene at the beginning of the previous chapter.

"After all, it's Mei Xue. Huang, you didn't lose unjustly."

Rosemary's tail swayed gently, which was somewhat expected. The little cat didn't really think Huang had any chance of winning; she was just hoping for a win. If Huang could actually win, that would be great.

"But...can't I win just once?"

Huang glanced at herself. She had nothing left to take off, otherwise she would have been exposed. She should just go to the pool and soak in the water. How did she get so carried away?

To be honest, Huang had never lost so badly before. But more than just winning or losing, Rosemary noticed that Huang's eyes were always fixed on Mei Xue's chest. This guy... must be craving something!

Just as the kitten had guessed, Huang had been glancing at Mei Xue's chest, intentionally or unintentionally. She remembered the unspeakable things that happened between her and the little fox that night, and personally... she quite liked that feeling.

"The game is over. Let Meixue choose where she will sleep tonight."

Although they really didn't want to do this, no one could beat Mei Xue at cards, so everyone left the choice to the little fox. Mei Xue was chewing on an apple, and the little fox felt more and more uneasy. This was his dormitory.

But if I really had to choose one...

"I'll go with Surtr."

Mei Xue hugged his tail; he was indeed very sleepy at the moment and didn't have the energy to tell him a story, so this matter had to be postponed for a while.

"why?"

"Because it's more comfortable to hold Sister Surtr."

The little fox twitched its ears, and the girls all looked at their chests. Shining and Nearl were also stunned. Oh right, Liz's chest wasn't that big.

Actually, they misunderstood Mei Xue's meaning. What the little fox meant by "it's more comfortable to hold" was that it would be warmer to hold Surtr. Levadin is a great air conditioner.

"There's nothing we can do. We've lost, so we have to accept it."

Having lost the bet, Huang, Shining, and Nearl got dressed, dejectedly grabbed Rosemary and took her away. Lily of the Valley and Witch had no choice but to send Cecilia back, while Little Carp carried the big cake given to him by Mei Xue back to eat slowly.

Chen Huijie and Amiya exchanged a glance and had no choice but to leave. But before leaving, Amiya gave Ascaron a look, signaling her to follow her and indicating to Red to keep a close eye on her.

Suddenly, only Surtr and Mei Xue remained in the room, while Red observed from the shadows.

The little fox, holding an apple in its mouth, looked at Surtr, who thought for a moment and then pointed to his bed.

"Go straight to sleep?"

Chapter 272 Surtr's Horn

Night had fallen. Mei Xue hugged his tail, and Surtr hugged him back. It felt warm. The little fox twitched his ears, not understanding why his sister was hugging him so tightly, as if he were going to run away. This was his room, after all.

"Mei Xue, there's something I want to ask you."

"What's wrong, sister?"

Just as the little fox was wondering how to get Surtr to loosen her grip a little, she actually took the initiative to let go and turned Mei Xue to face her.

Although it was already dark and they were asleep, both of them had good night vision. Mei Xue's deep blue eyes took on a different look in the night. Surtr looked into her eyes, and perhaps no one had noticed that Mei Xue's eyes would become so captivating after midnight, like a piece of crystal-clear amber encasing a vast starry sky, drawing people in without them noticing.

"My sister's eyes are so bright!"

Mei Xue's tail swayed involuntarily. Surtr's purple vertical pupils always had a special magic. Her arrogant aura could be seen from her eyes. Few people dared to meet her gaze, but Mei Xue was one of them.

"You're pretty much the same, do you like my eyes?"

A slender hand gently rested on Mei Xue's waist, and a rare tenderness appeared in Surtr's eyes. To her, the relationship between Mei Xue and herself should be somewhere between siblings and lovers. Although Mei Xue herself couldn't quite remember, it was enough that she remembered.

I really like it~

Mei Xue nodded affirmatively. Surtr's eyes were indeed the most beautiful the little fox had ever seen, like bright gems.

"All you do is try to make your older sister happy."

Holding Mei Xue close, Surtr pressed the little fox's head against his chest and gently bit his ear. The little fox was already hot, and being suffocated like this, it naturally struggled.

"Waaah!"

"Alright, alright, didn't you used to like this?"

Feeling that Mei Xue had bitten her several times, Surtr reluctantly let go and looked down. Fortunately, there were quite a few exposed areas in her clothes, and Mei Xue had bitten all the flesh without getting her clothes dirty. However, the little fox had controlled the force very well, so it didn't hurt.

"It's all saliva... No, that's not what I was going to ask."

Surtr shook his head. It had been a long time since he had slept with Mei Xue, and he had inadvertently steered the conversation off-topic.

"Phew... Why do you all like doing this, sisters?"

Mei Xue was also annoyed. Why did these older girls all like to press her against their chests? Didn't they know it was suffocating? It made her have to bite them every time.

"not comfortable?"

"Hmm...it's quite soft, but it makes it hard to breathe."

The little fox's frankness made Surtr's lips curl up. Although she couldn't compare to Su Xue'er in terms of figure, she could still stand out from most people. At least Mei Xue had once said that she preferred someone like her.

"I'll be more careful in the future, but before that, I have a question for you."

Surtr gently pinched the base of Mei Xue's tail. She knew that was Mei Xue's weak spot. Once she got hold of that spot, Mei Xue wouldn't be able to use any strength.

"Goo! What does sister want to ask?"

Ever since her tail was grabbed by Surtur, Mei Xue had a strange premonition that she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

"Didn't you say before that my horns would be prickly to hold?"

"!!!?"

Seeing Mei Xue's flustered expression, Surtr immediately guessed that this matter was not as simple as Felia had said. It seemed that this little fox was hiding something from him.

"So you've already said that?"

"Um... um."

Mei Xue nodded slightly, then curled up in a ball, unsure how to answer. She regretted not saying that.

"Would you like to touch it and see?"

As he spoke, Surtr lowered his head slightly, allowing Mei Xue's hand to touch his horn at just the right moment.

She seemed somewhat unconvinced, after all, horns and tails hold special significance for the Sarkaz, and Surtr's horns were considered quite beautiful, and she took good care of them.

"Then I'll give it a try..."

Looking at the corner so close to her, Mei Xue gently reached out and touched it. Hmm, it was indeed not prickly; in fact, it felt great to the touch. Surtr probably even had it waxed and polished. Mei Xue quite liked the feeling.

However, there's a reason why the little fox said Surtr's horns are prickly; after all, it would probably hurt a lot if you got pricked by those sharp protrusions.

Mei Xue grabbed Surtr's horn, and she wasn't idle either. She reached out and pinched the little fox's fluffy ears, rubbing them repeatedly, as if she really liked them.

Hiding in the shadows, Red silently watched the actions of the siblings. She also wanted to go out and pet Mei Xue, but of course, she would leave the ears to Surtr and pet the tail.

However, as a cold-blooded assassin, it is necessary to maintain aloofness. At the very least, one should wait until Surtr leaves before getting close to Mei Xue.

Tonight was actually quite uneventful. Surtr didn't take the opportunity to make a move on Mei Xue. It wasn't that she had strong self-control or wasn't interested, it was just that... there were just too many people outside.

From the moment he left until now, although Mei Xue didn't react much, Surtr could sense that people kept coming and going outside the door, and some even seemed unwilling to leave, probably worried that she would do something after he left.

But seeing Mei Xue dozing off in his arms, Surtr didn't intend to delve any further. He held Mei Xue and fell asleep peacefully, just like before.

[No need to wait any longer. From today onwards, I'm your older sister. You can call me Surtr.]

"Your tail is really amazing, able to produce so many things. Hmm, you want... Okay, here you go, be careful not to get scratched."

You absolutely need to be held to fall asleep, you're such a child! Oh well, what can I do, I'm the older sister.

Looking at Mei Xue, who was no longer curled up in his arms but leaning lazily against him, Surtr's sharp eyes showed a rare tenderness.

She gently reached out and stroked Mei Xue's hair, as if touching the most precious treasure in the world with utmost care.

"Meixue, you've grown up..."

Recalling the boy sitting under the plum tree, he was even more shy than the boy in front of her, but no matter what he became, Mei Xue would always be her younger brother.

A pale blue butterfly flew out from Mei Xue's tail and landed in front of Surtr, gently flapping its wings.

"Long time no see, what happened to you?"

She was just a remnant soul with very limited power and incomplete memories. This was Surtr's assessment of Su Xue'er's current situation. But this was simply too unbelievable. According to Surtr's judgment, there was no one else in the world besides Mei Xue who could have driven Su Xue'er to this point.

The blue butterfly fluttered its wings gently, engaging in a silent exchange with Surtr, but to Red, she simply fell asleep.

"...Back then you said you needed to leave for a while, but you were gone for so many years. He just foolishly waited for you for so many years. When I found him, he was still sitting under that tree waiting for you."

Surtur looked at Mei Xue in his arms. Nearly five thousand years had passed, but for them it was only a blink of an eye. However, the little fox was not used to it. Every time he made a wish, he would lose his memory. Naturally, he would not regard himself as an immortal being.

"From the first day, the first week, the first month and then to the first century, because I couldn't wait for you, I chose to run away from you."

After waiting for a long time, from daily anticipation to eventual disappointment, she finally began to doubt herself, believing that her sister had abandoned her because she was useless. It was a feeling that no one but Mei Xue could understand, after all, not everyone would spend thousands of years waiting for someone.

Mei Xue wanted to run away when she first met Lin Qingyan for the same reason. She instinctively sensed Su Xue'er's aura on her, but it was an unfamiliar face. She didn't want to be disappointed again, so she chose to stay away.

Blue Butterfly seemed somewhat disappointed. She knew best what an innocent little fool her younger brother was, and she also knew that she had been gone for too long. In reality, she was not Su Xue'er's true form; the real Su Xue'er had long since moved on to be with Mei Xue forever in another form.

"Since we can't say it, then let's not say it. Let him sleep..."

Since Su Xue'er was unwilling to tell him what she had done back then, and why she had entrusted Mei Xue to him, Surtr could only understand that this was not something she should know, or could not know. After all, the siblings' backgrounds were too bizarre, and their abilities were too terrifying, exceeding the comprehension of ordinary people.

The things that could prevent Su Xue'er from returning are definitely not something that Surtr alone could handle.

Looking at Mei Xue in his arms, Surtr couldn't help but recall the years they spent walking in the wilderness together.

Meanwhile, in Syracuse, candlelight illuminated a dimly lit room, where a woman dressed in splendid attire sat at a table, taking a sip of her coffee.

Are you curious why I gave them special treatment?

"Yes, Rhodes Island alone shouldn't be worth your attention."

Behind the woman stood a man, hidden in the shadows, like her shadow.

These words might sound disrespectful at first glance, but Rhodes Island certainly doesn't seem to be as respected as the woman in front of them. After all, she is Madame Sicily, the administrator of Syracuse, and she has the authority to do so.

"Yes, it's just Rhodes Island... but that's exactly what they care about most."

"Cardeidu, how's the Reunion Movement doing?"
