Talulah, I'm still a child.

Cardedoux took out a black letter from his pocket. The envelope was decorated with gold foil patterns, and the unique sealing wax seal of Madame Sicily proved its origin. Lappland tapped his leg lightly, pondering whether to kill the other party here.

"A letter for me?"

Mei Xue knew the title "Lady Sicily." When he went to Lateran, he met people who were ordered by Lady Sicily to take care of him along the way. Even on his return trip, he was escorted out of the country by Syracuse officials.

"Madam, I hope you can reply as soon as possible. My task is complete. Goodbye later."

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I may not be used to the food on Rhodes Island."

At this point, Cardedoux's expression turned somewhat grim. After saying goodbye to Mei Xue, he left without saying a word to Lappland.

"I think the food at Rhodes Island is pretty good. Oh... it's Sister Furong's nutritional meals."

Looking at the half-eaten lunchbox on the table, Mei Xue immediately understood where Cardedu's misunderstanding of Rhodes Island came from. This stuff was usually made by Hibiscus, and because of its strange and hard-to-swallow taste, no one had ever been willing to buy it. Cardedu probably just bought it casually to eat a few bites to get by, but he ended up getting sick.

"What, is it hard to eat?"

Lappland looked at the remaining boxed lunches on the table. They looked appetizing and smelled good, so they shouldn't be too hard to swallow, right?

"Even if Xiao Ke smells it, he won't eat it."

"...Being able to cook food like this is a skill in itself."

Lappland suddenly felt a little sorry for Cardedoux. If even a little guy wouldn't eat that stuff, what kind of culinary abomination must it be? Probably something like chocolate pasta or tofu pudding mixed with cola.

Chapter 274 Mei Xue, how many people have you offended?

A letter, with nothing noteworthy about it except for its exquisite envelope, yet its owner happens to be the most distinguished person in Syracuse, making Lappland wonder why Mei Xue would be involved with that woman.

This matter attracted considerable attention, and Rhodes Island even held an emergency meeting for it. Even Logos, who had always been reluctant to have contact with Mei Xue to avoid the awkward situation of his good friend becoming his stepfather, attended the meeting.

Of course, Texas and Lappland, who are from Syracuse, are also there. There are still many things to ask them about Madame Sicily.

"So, that guy named Cardedou went to the trouble of traveling all the way from Syracuse to deliver this letter?"

Looking at the letter on Mei Xue's desk, ACE scratched his head in confusion. Although it was a letter from Madame Sicily, shouldn't there be some other things attached to it? Such as a keepsake related to Mei Xue, otherwise who knows if she has other plans.

"At least that's how it seems to us right now."

Lin Qingyan felt like her hair was about to explode again. What was all this about? Why was her Great Yan's divine beast related to Syracuse?

“I’ve heard of Madame Sicily. I heard that many years ago she was just an unknown figure, but she rose rapidly in a short period of time and suppressed many of the great families in Syracuse with her strong attitude.”

Kroos was a little bored and ran her fingers through her hair. Her gaze swept over Mei Xue, who was the center of attention. The little fox was oblivious to the situation and was even munching on an apple while feeding the cat. The Doctor was sitting next to him, hugging Mei Xue's tail and stroking it vigorously.

"We don't really know much about her. Syracuse has a strict system, but we've heard a little about Madame Sicily's iron-fisted methods."

"Heh, although I don't like her very much, Texas and I have to admit that she is indeed very capable. Since she came along, the similarities between Syracuse and Lateran have at least disappeared in the part about 'causing explosions in the streets all the time'."

Lappland and Texas clearly didn't want to talk about this, and they obviously wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mei Xue's involvement.

However, if they hadn't come to attend this meeting, they really wouldn't have known that Rhodes Island was so full of hidden talents. That Sarkaz over there had just uttered a single sentence, yet it had the effect of magic.

Lappland looked around and estimated that she could only beat Kal'tsit, Mei Xue, and the Doctor.

"There are many mysteries surrounding Madame Sicily. She is probably recognized by the wolf pack and is a true alpha wolf. From what I've heard, since she first emerged twelve years ago, no one has been able to become her match."

"But why did she send a letter to Mei Xue?"

Huang scratched her head. She was never good at thinking about so many complicated things, but this was the question that everyone on Rhodes Island cared about the most: why did Lady Sicily send someone to deliver a message? That guy named Cardedoux was very strong, and Red even said that she was not entirely confident of defeating him.

"Um... I might know something."

Amiya raised her hand, but those Rhodes Island operators who knew her well knew that it was Theresia who was now in charge of this body, just by looking at her pink diamond-shaped pupils. After all, she would listen in on such matters.

"Twelve years ago, the doctor and Mei Xue asked me for permission to go out alone, saying they wanted to go to Syracuse to do something."

In an instant, all eyes were on the Doctor, who was stroking his tail, and Meixue, who was munching on an apple. Kal'tsit seemed to realize something, and her eyes gradually sharpened.

These gazes made Mei Xue and the doctor feel somewhat uncomfortable; how did the meeting suddenly turn into a criticism session for them?

"Twelve years ago, um... back then, the two of them went to Syracuse. Could the rise of the Sicilian lady be related to you?"

"I don't know."

"I do not know either."

Mei Xue wagged her tail, while the doctor kept shaking her head. One of them had amnesia and could only remember her name, while the other couldn't even remember what her own name was. It was pointless to expect them to provide any clues.

"It's unlikely that it's unrelated. Why don't we just open the letter and see what it says?"

Huang decided to be direct. After all, instead of everyone guessing, it was better to just see what the letter actually said. That was much more useful than guessing blindly.

"Mei Xue, can we take it apart?"

Just in case, such as someone leaving spells on the writing or paper, it's best to have Logos open this letter. As a master of sorcery, he knows exactly where to place spells on it.

"of course can."

"Then I'll read it."

Texas raised her hand; after all, she was Syracuse and couldn't possibly not know how to read her own mother tongue. The little fox nodded in agreement, since it was just a letter. Even if it were just a Kamen Rider Build belt that she had just bought, Mei Xue could let her sisters touch it.

With Mei Xue's permission, everyone stopped worrying too much. In fact, all that we said earlier was to get Mei Xue to understand. Otherwise, if the little fox didn't agree, no one would have opened this private letter to him.

Logos took the letter, examined it, and then calmly opened it. Madame Sicily had indeed not tampered with it in any way; it was just a simple letter.

But everyone noticed that Logos' expression wasn't too good, as if he'd seen his mother come to Rhodes Island to see Mei Xue.

"This letter is written in the Da Yan language, which I can't read..."

"Really? But I remember you clearly knew the Great Yan language."

Huang muttered to himself as he took the letter from Logos. After reading the first two sentences, his puzzled expression turned strange, and he twitched at the corner of his mouth, unsure of what to say.

"I...I can't read it either."

"Can't you come up with a different excuse?"

Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes in annoyance, then took the letter from Huang's hand. This guy is clearly from the Great Yan, yet he claims he can't read this letter. Really...

"I, a damn Da Yan swearer, don't want to live anymore!"

But after just one glance, Lin Qingyan immediately suppressed all her thoughts, replaced by an uncontrollable rage. Bluish-white lightning crackled across her body, and her beautiful blonde hair stood on end, startling Huang and the Doctor sitting next to her.

Before anyone could say anything, Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered that Mei Xue was still there. Her behavior of swearing was really inappropriate. What if she set a bad example for her younger brother?

"Ahem, sorry... I got too excited."

Quickly calming himself down, Lin Qingyan sat down and touched his frizzy hair. It was all for nothing that he had gotten rid of the static electricity today. With his hair like this, it wouldn't be appropriate for Mei Xue to go out to eat with him later.

"Sister Qingyan, use this."

Mei Xue took a comb out of her tail and handed it over. Ling, who was sitting next to her, reached out and beckoned, and the letter automatically floated from the table into her hand.

"To make you so angry, she really dared to write this in the letter."

Ling's lips curled up, whether out of mockery or amusement, Nian, Xi, and everyone else began to wonder what was written in the letter that could elicit such expressions from Lin Qingyan and Ling.

"Ahem, let me read it... My dear Meixue."

With just the first sentence, most people present clenched their fists, and Kal'tsit's water glass even cracked in several places. Everyone realized that this letter might not be as simple as they thought. No, the letter from the Sicilian lady was not simple to begin with.

"It's been many years since we last met. Since we parted, I dream about you every few nights. To be honest, I don't feel at ease sleeping without you following me around."

Their fists hardened, and even the usually gentle Theresa revealed the smile she only showed when she turned evil. The more Lappland and Texas listened, the more they felt that this might be a letter written by someone who didn't want to live and impersonated Madame Sicily, or that someone had simply switched the letter.

After all, Madame Sicily didn't seem like the type of person who would write such a letter!

"I don't know how much you and Miss Doctor still remember about me, but the time we spent together really left a deep impression on me, especially your warmth."

You once said that you would meet again in the future, so I think now is that opportunity, isn't it?

Heh... According to the Doctor, this letter will most likely be seen by that suspicious old woman named Kal'tsit who loves to tell riddles, or that little rabbit who claims to be Mei Xue's fiancée but has a green head. So, I'll tell you more about the memories of that time when we meet.

That night I told you that when we meet again in the future, I will give you a surprise that you will love.

That's about it for now. By the way, I've contacted all your good "friends." I didn't expect it! The twin queens of Letania, several executives of Rhine Lab, the mayor of Dosoles, and that chieftain of Sargon. I hope you can explain your relationships with these women to me when we meet.

From your dearest friend, mua”

The final "mua" wasn't written in the letter, but rather a spontaneous thought after seeing the lip print on the signature. She even leaned down and kissed Mei Xue on the lips.

Normally, even Ling would be attacked for doing this to Mei Xue in front of so many people, but now everyone's attention is elsewhere.

The atmosphere in the conference room became unusually strange. Miss Doctor clung to Mei Xue's tail, trembling. The little fox was a little embarrassed by the kiss, after all, there were so many people around, and this kind of thing should be discussed back home.

"Doctor, I think there are some things you need to explain to us, such as... what does it mean to be a suspicious old woman who loves to tell riddles?"

Kal'tsit coldly supported her body with her hands, and the shadow behind her gradually changed. Under the astonished gazes of the three Sui sisters and the two wolves, a ferocious beast detached from her spine. However, everyone had seen a lot, so this was just surprising.

"Yes, and what about this little rabbit who claims to be Mei Xue's fiancée but is actually cuckolded?"

Amiya, who had directly seized control of the body, stood up with a smile that was already full of danger, and black lines emanated from her body.

The Doctor seemed to see a gentle woman in a lab coat beckoning to her, and the murderous intent emanating from Kal'tsit and Amiya made her feel that her death was imminent.

Turning to the elite operators for help, Blaze and Ace all gave off a look of "Doctor, you might as well just wait to die." Clearly, no one wanted to offend Kal'tsit and Amiya, especially given that the Doctor was in the wrong first.

"I...I don't know either."

Miss Doctor was on the verge of tears. She had lost her memory, so how could she possibly remember saying these things? Was she too talkative before? Why did she blurt out everything? Couldn't she have considered how she felt now?

However, before Kal'tsit could show her fierce expression for long, she discovered that her M3 had come out and happily ran to Meixue's side, with the little fox patting its head and feeding it an apple.

If it weren't for its extremely ferocious appearance, it wouldn't be considered a mythical beast; it would be more like a silly husky, utterly embarrassing.

"M3, come back!"

Kal'tsit's cold words prompted M3 to run over decisively. The oppressive feeling from the two leaders of Rhodes Island made the Doctor swallow hard. If she didn't find a way to appease them, she might die here today, leaving Mei Xue a widow. No, that doesn't seem quite right.

Forget it, my life is more important right now, so the doctor decisively took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them over.

"Please, spare me! A coupon for Mei Xue's sexual services!"

In an instant, Amiya and Kal'tsit had snapped up both tickets. Logos and the others didn't seem surprised at all; they guessed that the Doctor must have secretly kept a few of these tickets in a place only she could find.

(Sure enough, everyone's attitude changed faster than turning the pages of a book when Mei Xue was mentioned.)

Silently complaining to herself, the Doctor hugged Mei Xue's tail tightly. Sure enough, in this dangerous world, only Mei Xue's tail could bring her a trace of warmth and comfort. Only the little fox was the only light in Terra!

"Ahem... So, since it's a letter inviting Mei Xue to Syracuse, why didn't it specify a date and location?"

Amiya quietly put the note away and asked her question. Texas, who had just come to her senses, bit off the Pocky stick in her mouth.
