Talulah, I'm still a child.

After all... who told this little fox to run away on their wedding night, just as they were about to enter the bridal chamber?

Yes, Mei Xue had run away from marriage, and as far as she knew... more than once.

Chapter 278 Mei Xue's New Live-in Partner

As the new day dawned, Mei Xue, who had just woken up, gently pulled her tail out of Hong's arms. It was clear that Hong really liked her tail; it was covered in drool. No wonder Mei Xue felt itchy in her tail last night.

"Ugh... the tail..."

Feeling that the tail in her arms was gone, Red groggily opened her eyes in her sleep, looked at the big tail wagging in front of her, opened her arms and hugged it, and then opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Awooo!!!!"

Early in the morning, Mei Xue's howls echoed across most of Rhodes Island. The girls, who were always concerned about the little fox's movements, quickly reacted and rushed towards Mei Xue's dormitory.

After all, at a time like this, Mei Xue might be kidnapped by that wicked vixen if she's not careful. (Lily of the Valley: Thanks for the invitation, I was mentioned.)

"What happened? What's wrong with Mei Xue?"

Lin Qingyan and Chen Huijie, who were neighbors, didn't even bother to fix their makeup. One had messy hair, and the other was still wearing pajamas. They kicked open Mei Xue's dormitory door with one foot and the other with the other. Then they saw Mei Xue being pinned down on the bed by Hong.

The disheveled little fox lay pitifully on the bed, clutching its tail, while Hong, as if discovering a new continent, kissed Mei Xue's lips awkwardly, though it looked... like a deep kiss?

It's easy to break someone's defenses. Faced with this extremely enviable... no, shameful behavior, Chen Huijie and Lin Qingyan quickly went up and tore the red off Mei Xue's body.

What are you doing?

Lin Qingyan grabbed Hong and threw her to the ground, while Chen Huijie hugged the little fox and looked at the wound on his lip, wiping away the drool with heartache.

"Are you alright, Meixue? Does it hurt? A kiss from your sister will make it better."

"Don't even think about taking advantage of me at a time like this!"

Seeing Chen Huijie lower her head to kiss her, Lin Qingyan wished she could kick her away. Sure enough, she still needed to find time to reshape Mei Xue's values ​​and keep the little fox away from this kind of woman with ulterior motives. Speaking of which, this girl used to be a police superintendent. Tsk... knowing the law and breaking it is an even greater crime. If this were in the Dali Temple, Lin Qingyan could sentence her to jail directly.

"What happened? Where's Meixue? Where's Meixue?"

Chen Huijie and Lin Qingyan had only been there a short while when the rest of the people came running over one after another. They all covered their noses and subconsciously checked... Hmm, no nosebleed.

Because Mei Xue always slept in her shirt, many parts of her body were exposed, such as her legs and arms. In addition, Hong's previous actions had exposed much of her skin, which was not covered up at all. Faced with the disheveled and pitiful little fox curled up in Chen Huijie's arms like a newborn cub, Skadi, Shining, and the others couldn't help but have nosebleeds.

"Wait, Mei Xue is injured?"

Lin Guang noticed the bloodstains at the corner of Mei Xue's mouth, but the little fox had no wounds on its face.

"Ugh... I got bitten."

The little fox hugged her snow-white tail pitifully, pointing at the red fox hiding behind the sofa, still eyeing her menacingly. She had no remorse for doing anything wrong, and licked her lips, somewhat reluctant to part with the taste from before.

"Hong, why are you biting Meixue?"

Kal'tsit raised an eyebrow. She had sent Red to protect Mei Xue, but instead, this girl bit Mei Xue. Red didn't seem like the type to steal Mei Xue's man.

"Hmm... Red only wanted to bite the tail, but she wasn't fully awake at the time, so she accidentally bit Meixue."

Seeing Kal'tsit's attitude, Red realized that her behavior just now seemed to be wrong. If she didn't admit her mistake now, she would definitely have no one to follow her around in the future.

"Then why did you push him onto the bed and kiss him?"

Lin Qingyan's words ignited everyone's attention, even Kal'tsit's gaze towards Red changed to "hopeless, just kill her." In an instant, Red felt unimaginable pressure, especially from Rosemary and Skadi, who seemed to want to devour her alive.

Although everyone wants to do this kind of thing and some people have done it more than once or twice, Red is still the first one to be caught on the spot, which naturally arouses the jealousy of Skadi, who has not yet truly tasted what the little fox is like.

Faced with this pressure, Hong lowered her head and nervously fiddled with her dagger.

"Because... Mei Xue's lips and tongue are very sweet, like candy."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was quite impactful. Mei Xue, who was hiding in Chen Huijie's arms, suddenly felt everyone's gaze inexplicably focused on her. It was a familiar feeling; she remembered the last time she was about to be forcibly kissed.

(I really want to try what plum blossoms taste like)

This is what most girls think. Of course, it's no secret to Kal'tsit, Rosemary, and the others. They just feel it's a bit troublesome. This way, quite a few more people will probably get involved. Originally, everyone was secretly and discreetly trying to get involved, but now it seems that won't work. Not to mention that inexplicable matchmaking ad, today's incident alone is enough to ignite this group of restless rivals.

"Hong isn't very mature. How about we just let this matter drop?"

"Letting it go is fine, but who can guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen again?"

Lin Qingyan reached out and wiped Mei Xue's face, then stared seriously at Kal'tsit. What she said wasn't entirely wrong. In fact, everyone initially disapproved of the little fox living alone, but they were also worried that someone would steal her food.

"what do you mean……"

"Let Meixue live with me."

These words shocked everyone present. The girls watching realized that this seemed to be an opportunity. If they followed Lin Qingyan's advice, as long as they seized this opportunity, it would be no problem to bring Mei Xue back to their own house. Being close to the water tower makes it easy to get the moon first. As long as they could spend more time together, it wouldn't be difficult to gain favor.

"I'll take it! My TV is big, Meixue, let's play games together!"

"I can too! My bathtub is big!"

"Stop arguing, I think I'm the most suitable, my bed is big!"

A group of people were arguing noisily. Lin Qingyan helplessly covered her head. She knew that Mei Xue's charm would definitely cause this kind of trouble. Oh well, after all, Mei Xue was a real vixen.

"Meixue, are you alright?"

Chen Huijie rubbed the little fox's head, and the latter shook his head to indicate that it was not a big problem. After all, the bite Hong made was simply because she had a sharp canine tooth that hurt Mei Xue, and he did not intend to blame Hong. He just did not expect everyone to react so strongly.

Seeing the group of people making such a racket, Kal'tsit rubbed her temples in exasperation and then knocked hard on the door twice, silencing everyone.

"Since everyone is so concerned about Mei Xue's safety, why don't we arrange for her to move to the boys' dormitory? I happen to have a student who also lives alone."

"..."

It has to be said that experience counts. Kal'tsit revealed the most effective solution that no one wanted to say. Indeed, if Mei Xue moved to the boys' dormitory, she would be safe and wouldn't have to worry about others stealing her food. But in that case, wouldn't they themselves have no chance at all?

"That student of yours, could it be yourself?"

"of course not."

Seeing that everyone seemed to be starting to arrange new accommodations for themselves, Mei Xue thought about it and realized that having people come over every night would indeed make it difficult for them to get a good night's rest.

"Sister, can I choose myself?"

The little fox tugged at Chen Huijie's sleeve. The latter was stunned for a moment, then nodded in affirmation. After all, everyone would respect Mei Xue's choice. No matter how fierce the argument was, if Mei Xue didn't want to, she simply didn't want to, and no one could force her.

"Can I live with Sister Surtr?"

"what?!"

Chen Huijie exclaimed in surprise. She thought Mei Xue would choose her. Could it be that the little fox had already begun to dislike her as the older sister?

The answer is naturally no. Little Fox had thought about it carefully. If she lived with Chen Huijie or Linglan, it would most likely turn into a scene of playing games every day. Not to mention Rosemary, who was eyeing Meixue and wished she could tie her back to her dormitory. If she really lived with her, she wouldn't be able to leave the house until she was completely exhausted.

But Surtr is different. When she slept with Mei Xue, she did nothing but hug Mei Xue and stroke her tail. Moreover, it was still warm in her arms, just like Talulah. At least Mei Xue didn't have to worry about being grabbed and exploited.

"With me? That's not a problem, but I often go out to do missions and may not have time to spend with you."

Surtr displayed an unexpected carefree attitude. She was happy to live with the little fox, but in order to find the root of the messy memories in her mind, she often went out on missions alone, which meant that she wouldn't have much time to spend with Mei Xue.

"Hmm...that's okay, I can take care of myself."

Selectively avoiding the resentful gazes of Skadi, Suzuran, and the others, Mei Xue twitched her fox ears. Surtr's attitude only strengthened the little fox's resolve. Sure enough, Sister Surtr was different from the others.

"In that case..."

"I disagree!"

Skadi raised her hand to show her stance, while Specter watched with amusement. Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry. Every night after going to sleep, she could cuddle with the little fox in her dreams. If it weren't for the existence of the Sirens, she wouldn't mind doing something to Mei Xue in her dreams.

"Whether we were friends or just acquaintances, I was the one who came first, so why wasn't I chosen?"

"White scholars are forbidden here!"

Miss Doctor couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark for no reason, while Surtr twirled his fiery hair with his fingers with a hint of disdain.

"You were here first? When I met her, you were still lying in the sea."

These words were spoken to Skadi, and also to Isamara within her. In chronological order, Surtr was indeed the first person, besides Su Xueer, to come into contact with Mei Xue.

Compared to Surtr and the others, Red, having tasted the sweetness, quietly retreated to the shadows. She licked her lips; the sweetness she had just tasted still lingered on her tongue. Mei Xue's blood didn't taste familiar to her either; something contained within it made Red's body feel incredibly light.

Of course, the most important thing is when you kiss her. How should I put it... it feels more comfortable than touching her tail. Hong likes it very much and wants more.

"Attention all Rhodes Island personnel, Rhodes Island is about to enter Kazimierz territory. To reiterate, Rhodes Island is about to enter Kazimierz territory."

The announcement from PRTS drowned out everyone else's voices. Mei Xue wagged her tail and looked at Lin Guang. The little fox knew this was her hometown, but what Mei Xue was more concerned about was the word "knight." The little fox was very curious whether the knights of Kazimierz were as handsome as those in the TV series.

At least he had a good feeling about Nearl, even though this older sister couldn't transform.

Meanwhile, the appearance of the Siren Lolis in the Great Yan Dynasty has indeed helped the Great Yan a lot, but they still refer to themselves as Agorians to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"How wonderful, what a happy life."

Amaya sat in the inn, basking in the warm sunshine, listening to her sisters complaining in the mental network about the large number of Sea Sibs. She thought for a moment, then decided to just stay put. After all, any of her sisters could easily wipe out enemies of this level.

This kind of life in her middle age couldn't be more comfortable. She got a government job in Da Yan, with a high salary and benefits, and the work wasn't busy. She only needed to clean up the sea around the coast or escort merchant ships every day. She even had time to come to this city called Shang Shu to eat hot pot.

All the materials needed for the experiment were provided by Da Yan. It is not hard to see Mei Xue's status here from Da Yan's attitude towards them. There are even temples dedicated to Mei Xue in cities and towns all over the country, and the incense is surprisingly prosperous.

"Shopkeeper, do you still worship fox spirits in your shop?"

Looking at the adorable fox statue enshrined in the center of the inn, Amaya immediately recognized it as Mei Xue. Although the little fox was very popular in Da Yan, it was always a lucky charm that brought good fortune and marriage in legends, and it was rare to see anyone enshrining it in a shop.

"My esteemed guest, you may not know this, but this is the deity we have been worshipping since the opening of Xingyu Inn. We heard that when the owner and his brothers encountered difficulties, they were fortunate enough to meet a fox spirit and escaped a calamity. So, our inn has been worshipping this deity."

"Such a thing is possible?"

Amaya pretended to be surprised, and the waiter smiled proudly at her reaction.

"Of course, it's obvious that you're not from our Great Yan. You should know that the legend of the fox spirit is known to every household in our Great Yan."

"I did only arrive in Da Yan recently, so please explain it to me."

Amaya took out a few Lungmen dollars from her pocket and placed them on the table. She thought she could inquire about Mei Xue's affairs, which might help the little fox regain her memories as soon as possible.

"Alright, about this fox spirit, we have to start from before the Great Yan Dynasty..."

Bonus Chapter: What if Mei Xue got married and had a daughter?

(A heads-up before you watch: This is an "what if" side story, unrelated to the main plot. It is set 16 years after Mei Xue and Talulah's marriage. Hope you enjoy it.)

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Remember to finish your homework when you get home, especially Astrias, since there won't be any multiple-choice questions on this year's exam."

The words from Teacher Shining jolted Su Mengyun, who was sitting in her seat, and she nodded to indicate that she understood.
