Talulah, I'm still a child.

Setting down her coffee cup, Madame Sicily asked a seemingly unrelated question, since the Reunion Movement and Syracuse didn't have much in common.

"As you wish, Lyudmila and a small team have joined them. Several families under our command are also secretly supporting the development of the Reunion Movement. However, Ursus will probably react soon."

"It doesn't matter if we're discovered. Ursus is already too busy to take care of itself. This operation won't do us any harm."

"But Madam, if I may be so bold, won't our actions become an excuse for some people?"

"You mean those brainless ones?"

Madame Sicily glanced at Cardedoux behind her. As one of her most loyal guards, his advice was sometimes well-considered and worth taking into account, which was why she allowed him to speak frankly.

"Yes, they still yearn for that era that glorified violence. According to our investigation, some people are already itching to take action."

"Heh... Which 'family' is it this time, Borgia? Buano? Never mind, as long as they don't spoil my fun."

Looking at the letters on the table, Madame Sicily did not stamp them with her own mark as usual. Instead, she took out a lipstick from the drawer, applied it to her lips, picked up the letter, and gently kissed the signature at the end, leaving a bright red lip print.

This was a special letter. Madame Sicily tapped her fingers lightly on the table, then placed it in an exquisite envelope and stamped it with her own special sealing wax seal.

“I know what you’re thinking, Cardedoux. You must be wondering why I would specifically invite a child to be my guest.”

This was indeed something that Cardedu cared about. He rarely saw anyone worthy of such attention from a lady. In fact, Syracuse had known of Mei Xue's existence since the beginning. According to Lungmen, he sheltered the injured lone wolf, just as the Emperor sheltered the last descendant of the Texas family.

But what kind of person is the Emperor? That Mei Xue is just a child. According to the investigation, he is not from any prominent family in the Great Yan Dynasty, yet he has attracted such attention from Madame Sicily.

"Cardeidou, how long have you been following me?"

"Three years, Madam."

"Three years... Heh, for him, three years is probably just a blink of an eye. When we met, I was just Ms. Sicily."

These words sound simple, but to Cardedoux they contained a wealth of information. In the early years, Madame de Sicily's powerful rise to power had always been a topic of discussion among various families. No one understood who was supporting this woman behind the scenes. The huge amount of funds and supplies, the various meticulous arrangements, and the almost divine luck all contributed to her taking this position.

Now, it seems that Cardedu has learned some inside information. If that's true, then... Mei Xue might be more worthy of attention than those families imagine.

"Deliver this letter to Rhodes Island and give it to them personally."

"Yes, as you wish."

Respectfully accepting the letter, Cardedou disappeared into the shadows of the room, leaving Madame Sicily alone in thought. On her table lay a map of the entire Terra, meticulously marked.

"The twin queens of Letania, myself, Candela of Bolívar, Rhine Life of Colombia, and even the chieftain of Sargon have all gotten involved... What exactly do you want?"

With her fingers lightly tapping the table, Madame Sicily recalled the afternoon she met Mei Xue and Miss Doctor, and the advice they gave her in Syracuse.

It's best not to harbor ill will towards him, otherwise death will come knocking at the end of your destiny.

Chapter 273 A Letter from the Lady of Sicily

Daily life on Rhodes Island was simple and fun, and Cecilia quickly grew to love it. Felia also underwent initial treatment under Kal'tsit's arrangement, and everything went smoothly in all aspects.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, this is today's test report. Mei Xue really has no abnormalities. On the contrary, she is quite healthy, so healthy that I don't know what to say."

Ya Ye's expression was very strange. This was the first time she had seen such a strange situation. The X-ray showed that Mei Xue's body structure was no different from a normal body structure, but there was no source stone in the little fox's body. This was simply impossible.

It's important to know that the air in Terra is filled with Originium crystals. Anyone who can breathe will inevitably inhale tiny Originium crystals from the air. However, the amount is too small to cause Oripathy, but Mei Xue's case is something I've never seen before.

"This is normal for him, but don't tell anyone, understand, Louisa?"

Kal'tsit rarely called Aya by her real name. She chose to let Aya retrieve the file because she trusted her, but if anything happened, she wouldn't mind taking matters into her own hands to eliminate any potential problems.

"Yes, teacher, I will never tell anyone!"

"Good, you can go back now. Ms. Felia still needs to recuperate. What about Mei Xue?"

"He was chatting with Eyjafjalla. He had just finished telling Ifrit a story half an hour ago, and he might be spending time with Liz tonight as well."

At this point, Aya spread her hands helplessly. Mei Xue was also busy, but not too busy. She was busy greeting different girls every day, and even made friends with Eyjafjalla. She was originally socially awkward, but after learning about Eyjafjalla's situation, she actually chose to take the initiative to contact her.

"He's really busy..."

Kal'tsit's face showed a hint of anger. Couldn't this little fox provoke fewer people? But never mind, since he could cure Liz's illness, Eyjafjalla shouldn't be a problem either.

Moreover, regarding Liz, Kal'tsit initially thought that Mei Xue had healed her legs, but later discovered that this was not the case. Although Liz had sensation in her legs, medically speaking, she was not capable of standing up, let alone running.

But she could walk, and could even be described as walking with great speed. If it weren't for the fact that Mei Xue's memory was perfectly intact, Kal'tsit would have suspected that he had directly granted Liz's wish.

"That's right. But thanks to him, the patients in the medical department have been in much better spirits lately, and even the most unruly children are willing to take their medicine now."

As peers in both mindset and appearance, the children of Rhodes Island are always willing to listen to Mei Xue, after all, having a tail that can produce an endless supply of snacks is really cool, isn't it?

But Kal'tsit thought about it carefully and noticed something was wrong. It seemed that Mei Xue mostly interacted with women!?

In the medical department's break room on the other side, Mei Xue, who had just finished talking with Eyjafjalla, was munching on an apple while gently stroking Mandra with her left hand, her eyes fixed on the ten-sided die in her right hand.

He was pondering something: what was the connection between this die and himself, and what was its relationship with his older sister, Su Xue'er?

With a crisp spinning sound, Mei Xue casually tossed the die, which looked like it had been carved and polished from obsidian, onto the table. Watching the die spin, Mei Xue thought for a moment, hoping to get a ten.

The dice spun on the table, but eventually stopped, landing on exactly ten.

"Just as I thought, you can have whatever you want. Hmm... this is much better than filling your body with lead."

Mei Xue held the die in his hand, clutching his tail. He hadn't told anyone about the die yet. Of course, Ghost Shark knew, but she was also on Mei Xue's side.

This die is amazing. Although to others it is just an ordinary work of art, and the Rhodes Island engineering department has only concluded that it is "quite hard and of unknown composition," nothing else is known.

According to the sirens, they found the die embedded in the head of the giant beast bone. Removing it alerted another newborn creature in the deep sea, forcing them to retreat for safety reasons.

Speaking of the Siren Lolis, they've been online less frequently and in smaller numbers lately. Mei Xue and Ghost Shark were originally thinking about getting registered with the Great Yan government and becoming civil servants, but right now they're busy helping Great Yan wipe out the Sea Siren.

It turned out that when they asked Amaya, they learned that because it was their first real interaction with a land-based country, coupled with the excellent local customs and culture of the Great Yan (especially the food), these girls had been having a blast these past few days. During the day, they went out and beat up every sea monster they could find in the Great Yan waters, and at night they went shopping.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least the Great Yan showed the Sirens full respect and sincerity in cooperation, and the latter also demonstrated the value of cooperation.

Guess who I am?

A pair of slightly rough hands covered Mei Xue's eyes, and the voice that entered her ears sounded frivolous yet carried a hint of madness, like the prelude to the explosion of some emotion before it reached its limit.

"Sister Lappland, are you done with the checkup?"

The sound naturally couldn't be hidden from Mei Xue. The little fox gently wagged its tail, removed Lappland's hand from its eyes, turned around, and took the initiative to hug her waist and rub against her.

"The results just came out, haha, don't worry, I'm not going to die."

With graceful ease, Lappland pulled Mei Xue into her arms and sat down on the sofa with her. She reached out to smooth Mei Xue's slightly disheveled hair. She wasn't trying to scare Mei Xue; in fact, her Oripathy was quite severe, and the medical staff had specifically instructed her to be extra careful.

"Stop talking about death all the time, I don't like it!"

Watching her beloved little fox bristle and wag its tail, Lappland couldn't help but want to kiss it. That's what she liked about Mei Xue. The little fox was obedient and sensible, but it also had a willful and domineering side. Lappland was actually starting to enjoy being dominated by it.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Let's go eat."

Since Mei Xue doesn't like it, then Lappland won't do it. This is a very simple and pure form of pampering. This little fox has indeed filled a void in her heart.

Although Lappland has always been a loner on Rhodes Island, Mei Xue is quite the social butterfly. Needless to say, the little fox is very popular, and everyone along the way greets Mei Xue.

"Mea~"

Well, even non-humans can do that. Lappland looked at the two little black sheep rubbing against Mei Xue's feet. They were Eyjafjalla's pets. These days, because Mei Xue and Eyjafjalla's relationship had changed from "getting along well" to "being good friends," these little sheep had also become closer to Mei Xue. But as an assassin, Lappland keenly sensed an inexplicable fear hidden deep in their hearts.

Despite their apparent closeness, these little lambs seemed to have an instinctive fear of Mei Xue, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

(Is it because as an animal, I can sense the abnormalities in Mei Xue that I cannot?)

Lappland stroked her chin. This didn't seem too surprising, because anyone could see that Mei Xue was extraordinary. The little fox's tail that defied common sense and its almost cheating luck were the best proof.

"Please ask Operator Mei Xue to come to the meeting room as soon as possible. A guest is looking for you."

Just as the little fox was enjoying the soft wool, Rhodes Island's broadcast reached their ears. Mei Xue sucked on her finger in confusion. A guest had come to see him? Was it Da Yan? Or was it the Reunion Movement?

However, in any case, they couldn't eat for the time being, so the little fox wagged its tail and led Lappland toward the reception room.

As mentioned before, Rhodes Island is actually quite large. It will take Mei Xue and Lappland a little longer to get to the reception room. There was an unusual smell in the air from the very beginning. Lappland's intuition told her that there was danger. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a red shadow.

"What's wrong, Sister Lappland?"

"……nothing."

Suppressing her urge to fight, Lappland led Mei Xue forward. Red remained hidden in the shadows, observing. She glanced at Lappland's tail, then at Mei Xue's, and was caught in a dilemma, unsure of whose tail to hold.

After all, Red herself still prefers Luper's tail, but Mei Xue's tail also makes her addicted; the feel of it is truly amazing.

(Lappland has one tail, but Meixue has six!)

After comparing the options in her mind, Hong felt it was better to find Mei Xue. Moreover, as long as she didn't suddenly appear and scare him, the little fox wouldn't mind letting her pet him.

In contrast, although Red is also a Lupo, she is too special. Her own kind would freeze in fear just by seeing her, and even someone like Lappland felt the aura of death just by glancing at her.

If a conflict breaks out, Lappland will most likely die under Red's blade; the Werewolf's dominance over the wolves is beyond question.

So Hong had no choice. She touched her own tail the most, and she didn't want to scare anyone. To this day, Mei Xue is the only friend she can touch her tail freely. As for Provence, she is willing to be friends with Hong, but she feels uncomfortable whenever Hong gets too close, as if someone has a knife to her throat.

Mei Xue and Lappland walked into the reception room, where Amiya happened to come out. The little rabbit noticed Mei Xue's arrival and looked at him with a strange and curious gaze.

"Amiya, is this the place?"

"Yes, brother... This time it's people from Syracuse. Is Miss Lappland going in too?"

Amiya was clever; she knew about the relationship between Lappland and Syracuse, so the little rabbit suggested that Lappland wait outside for a while.

"Of course I'll go. Since they're from Syracuse, shouldn't I be even more eager to see what they're like?"

Lappland understood Amiya's subtext, but she was curious why someone from Syracuse would come looking for Mei Xue, since this little fox shouldn't have much contact with that side.

"Alright then, I'll go prepare some tea for you."

Seeing that Lappland had said that, Amiya chose not to say anything more and left with light steps.

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears, reached out and pushed open the door to the reception room, then went inside.

"Hello, sorry to keep you waiting."

There was only one person in the reception room, an unremarkable Syracuse man. He was wearing a smart suit and a hat. Judging from the dust on his body, he had been traveling in a hurry. Moreover, Mei Xue was certain that she did not recognize him, and probably did not know him before. There was no sense of familiarity between them.

"Hello, Mr. Mei Xue, you can just call me Cardedoux."

The man who called himself Cardedu first greeted Mei Xue, then glanced at Lappland behind him. Noticing the madness and repression in the other's eyes, he thought to himself, "No wonder he's from the Lappland family."

"Mr. Cardedoux, is there something you need from me?"

The little fox wagged its tail. Although Cardedou looked ordinary, the little fox could sense that he was a very capable person and had a strange respect for it.

"As the messenger of the Lady of Sicily, I am delivering this letter to you."

With just a simple sentence, Cardedoux successfully made Lappland frown. As a fellow Syracuse, Lappland certainly knew what Madame Sicily was, but why would she be involved with Mei Xue?
