Talulah, I'm still a child.

In fact, there are some things that only those who have reached the level of Grand Tutor can understand. For example, the youngest daughter of the Great Yan True Dragon liked to chase after Mei Xue, insisting on touching his tail or biting his ear. Even the True Dragon himself would sometimes use Mei Xue's tail as a bed when he was bored, which caused a lot of trouble. For example, the little fox hugged her tail and cursed in front of a large group of soldiers, saying that the True Dragon was shameless.

Only he dared to say that in the world, and then he was chased for more than ten miles by the little princess released by the true dragon. Mei Xue's escape speed must have been honed during that time.

"Well said. Though not of this world, I am in this world, standing outside the mirror, observing the vastness of all living beings."

"……I see."

Amaya nodded. Because of Mei Xue, the Siren Lolis had all learned a lot about the Great Yan culture, so the Grand Tutor's poem was not difficult to understand.

The Mei Xue of the past, or rather the being that gave rise to Mei Xue and Su Xue'er, has always been an observer of all living beings. It is destiny, yet it is not destiny. Destiny will continue to turn even without it, but it can indeed easily pluck the strings of destiny.

But then, for reasons unknown, something unexpected happened. He went from being a screenwriter to an actor, jumped into this world, and even split into two, becoming Mei Xue and Su Xue'er.

"I'll ask you again, what are the problems facing Terra now?"

"Beyond that, there are the Haisi and Agor in the south, the spirits of Sargon hiding in the scorching lands to the west, and the endless demons to the north. Of course, you and I both know where the greatest threat comes from."

As she spoke, Amaya pointed to the sky. As the Grand Tutor held a high position, he naturally saw and knew more. Ordinary people didn't even know about the existence of the evil spirits in the north, let alone the secrets above the starry sky.

"Speaking of internal affairs, while there are minor disputes on the surface among the various countries of Terra, there are actually undercurrents. The Unity Movement is gaining more and more influence in Ursus. This corrupt empire is only superficially glamorous. I heard that three days ago they even captured two mobile cities, forcing both the old and new noble forces in Ursus to temporarily cease their disputes. Then there's Kazimierz. Although its territory is small, it's quite audacious. It actually tried to gain benefits from this matter and even planned to take the opportunity to attack the Victoria and Letania families."

Amaya knew more than the Grand Tutor had thought, but that was not surprising. During this time, in addition to traveling through the mountains and rivers of the Great Yan, the Sirens also traveled to other countries by waterway. They even started a betting game to see who could meet Mei Xue by luck without cheating, but unfortunately none of the sisters had met him yet.

"Furthermore, the Sarkaz are gathering in Victoria, and a storm is brewing. Rhodes Island and those so-called Grand Dukes will eventually have to settle things with them. As for Syracuse... let's see if that Lady of Sicily can control her families."

"I predict that Ursus and the Reunion Movement will be completely at war within a year."

After saying this, Amaya picked up her tea and took a sip to moisten her throat. She rarely spoke these things aloud because the Sirens were more accustomed to transmitting secrets through mental networks. Even if these girls seemed playful and lazy on ordinary days, it didn't mean they would forget their duties.

"Yes, this is Terra today, extremely dangerous yet plagued by internal strife, yet you never mention the Great Yan?"

"It's hard to say, I don't know for sure either. I just had a vague feeling that when I set foot on the land of Great Yan, I felt a call from the East..."

This was something none of the sirens had said aloud, nor had they told Mei Xue. It wasn't that they were deliberately trying to deceive her; it was just that deep down they had this instinct, and it was better not to tell him.

“That’s because you are Mei Xue’s retinue, so you can naturally hear His voice, but don’t tell him that it’s not the right time yet.”

The Grand Tutor stroked his beard, a small gesture he only made when he was anxious. He hesitated, but Amaya had already demonstrated enough qualifications, not only in combat power, but also in intelligence. With more than three hundred brains put together, no problem would bother them for long.

What's to the east?

"I can't say."

Looking up at the birds flying in the east, the Grand Tutor put the lid on his teacup and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't continue the conversation.

“不敢高声语，恐惊天上人。”

"Let's switch to someone else over there. What's the plan?"

"Didn't you guess it already? Since there are evil spirits and monsters outside, constant internal strife, eyes above, and yellow sand below, how can we give Terra a way to survive?"

This question made Amaya hesitate for a moment. She did have a guess. Mei Xue and the Doctor's footprints covered Terra. They were looking for something, but it was not just a blind search. They were constantly making connections with the rulers of different forces. Their footprints were a large net that enveloped everyone.

"Unite as one, and point your sword at Terra."

The Grand Tutor said no more. That was enough. If Amaya and the Sirens weren't directly under Mei Xue's command, then these things shouldn't have been told to them. Knowing too much is not a good thing. If an ordinary person had heard about these things, they would have died on the spot in an accident within an hour of going out today.

"That……"

"It's alright, he'll take care of it."

That was the end of it. The Grand Tutor could not say any more. Mei Xue and the Doctor's plan was certainly not that simple, but if he told them everything, the Grand Tutor himself might not be able to withstand the misfortune.

"How many people are there besides the Great Yan?"

"Heh, you just said Ursus is doomed, that's one thing. Then there's Kazimir. If it really makes a move, then Letania and Syracuse will tear apart the Silver Spear Pegasus's defenses immediately, give the Commercial Federation a good slap in the face, and then let those guys from the Supervisory Council clean up the mess."

"I suddenly felt a little sorry for those merchants in Kazimierz."

"Hmph, they're nothing but a bunch of insects. Too many of them are no good for our plans. They're good at making money, but none of them can go to the battlefield."

It was obvious at a glance that the Grand Tutor was a man of exceptionally strong moral character. Amaya nodded. Of course, she knew things weren't as easy as the Grand Tutor made them out to be, but that was all for today. It wouldn't be good to say too much. She would have her sisters inquire more about it later, and about the East... The Grand Tutor couldn't say, but that didn't mean they couldn't investigate.

Terra's problem is that, apart from the Great Yan, no country seems to realize the danger, and the greatest threat comes from the stars. No one knows what their attitude is, but Amaya doesn't really care, since those guys obviously don't want to stand against Mei Xue.

I just don't know how my master managed to get the twin queens of Letania and the Sicilian of Syracuse to cooperate.

--------------------------

In the wilderness, there are wolves. Wolves live in packs and are fierce. Although an individual wolf is not strong enough to fight against a lion, a pack of wolves will hunt together. This is the family system of the wolf pack.

"We've found the lone wolf."

In the wilderness untouched by civilization, a wolf formed from a dark shadow spoke these words, before whom stood its fellow brethren.

Where is that descendant of the Texas family?

A gray-black wolf was clearly ready to set off; it was time for that descendant of the Texas family to pay her debts.

"They seem to be planning to stay permanently in a place called Rhodes Island."

"Isn't it Lungmen?"

"Who knows what the Emperor is planning?"

"But it has nothing to do with us. Let Zack do whatever he wants."

The wolves were discussing amongst themselves, but it was clear that there were disagreements within the pack; at least not all of them were willing to interact with humans.

However, Madame Sicily was an exception. The wolves didn't know how to evaluate her, but they had to admire her methods. Few people could gain the approval of the pack.

"But that guy's brother is also on Rhodes Island."

These words were like a mute button pressed on the wolves; you could even clearly hear the sound of the breeze. Zac, who was just about to ask where Rhodes Island was and then go there, began to hesitate, after all, he didn't want to face the Nightmare.

"And it has six tails."

Several wolves had already instinctively tucked their tails between their legs.

I remember when we met again, that person only had four tails. But back then, well, it was a rather sad memory. Zack still remembers the feeling of his bare tail being blown by the cold wind. I wouldn't say it was very uncomfortable for a wolf, but I just don't want to experience it a second time.

Now he has six tails, who knows just how powerful he is? Anyway, nobody wants to mess with him.

"Zack, maybe we should just forget about it."

"...That makes sense, my hair has only just grown in."

"I'm still young, sob sob..."

If the Sicilian women or the great families of Syracuse were to see this side of the Wolves, they would probably think they were dreaming. But it is true; for these wolves, Mei Xue is a nightmare.

They still can't forget how they tried to take advantage of Mei Xue's immense fortune back then, only to be captured by Su Xue'er, have their fur plucked and used to make a new blanket for Mei Xue, then have their fur scorched by that lava giant, and almost have their legs broken by Sui Ba. It's a past that's hard to describe.

Originally, he thought he wouldn't cause any more trouble, since even if Su Xue'er was gone, Da Yan would protect him, and the wolf pack wouldn't be able to attack him anymore. But who knew that Mei Xue would actually come to him on her own initiative? The little fox had a reasonable conversation with the wolf pack, and after successfully reaching a cooperation agreement, she even managed to get the doctor a new wolf fur coat.

It wasn't until then that they realized that Mei Xue was even more terrifying than Su Xue'er when she fought.

"I don't think this period is suitable; let's extend the interest payment period."

Despite his cowardly heart, he was stubborn and proud. The Wolf Lord naturally couldn't admit that he was inferior to Mei Xue, but he didn't dare to cause trouble on Rhodes Island. Not to mention Mei Xue, what if he brought another sister from up there? Who knew if he would get his fur plucked?

"Why don't you just cancel this debt?"

"why?"

“That descendant of the Texas family is now his man.”

Zach suddenly felt an urge to curse, but he couldn't say it, because if he did, he might get struck by lightning the next second. It was still cloudy outside, and it looked like a thunderstorm was coming.

"And there's no way to avoid it, that woman plans to invite him over as a guest."

"...That stupid woman with *Syrian vulgarities*, she's gone crazy from wanting a man!??"

"Who knows? We can only pray that everything will be alright. If all else fails, maybe we should go into hiding?"

"You're dreaming. If he wanted to find you, you'd run right into him. Why are you trying to hide?"

The wolves had differing opinions, but at least they shared the same fear of Mei Xue. After all, not to mention having her tail ripped off, a Destruction Mushroom landing on her head would be extremely unpleasant, not to mention the continuous bad luck that would follow.

"What should I do?"

"Let your men deal with him, or rather, entertain him. He must have lost his memory after making a wish once. As long as we don't cause trouble, we don't need to worry about bad luck."

This is currently the only viable option, since the Wolf Lords have no intention of appearing before Mei Xue, simply for the sake of their dignity and their tails.

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, the little fox could vaguely sense that people were talking about him. However, this happened every day, and there were many people who talked about him. Not to mention Talulah and everyone on Rhodes Island, the Sirens would mention the little fox whenever they had a spare moment.

Meanwhile, in the Great Yan region, Mei Xue has been dreaming of people burning incense in front of her during her afternoon naps these past few days. Most of them are students or gamblers, praying for marriage, passing exams, getting lucky with card draws, passing exams, and winning at gambling. However, Mei Xue can't remember much after waking up, and just considers it a dream.

"So, the Steam Knight was such a huge thing?"

Mei Xue wagged his tail, thinking it was just an ordinary knight. It wasn't until the knowledgeable Lin Guang explained it to him that he realized it was a steampunk Gundam. No, what is steampunk? Strange words like that, these days my head keeps popping up with unfamiliar terms.

"Of course, we can find out by asking others."

As she spoke, Nearl led Mei Xue to the training ground. Compared to herself, a Kazimierz, a Victorian operator would be able to explain things more clearly.

Just then, Vina had finished training and was resting.

Chapter 281 Should I call her daughter or wife?

The Steam Knights were Victoria's most renowned army, numbering no more than fifty, but each one was a fierce and skilled warrior. Two of them could hold their own against a Sarkaz general, and three of them were more than capable of defeating their opponent.

Therefore, being named a Steam Knight was the highest honor in the hearts of all Victoria soldiers. Being named a Steam Knight meant that one could directly become a member of the Victoria monarch's direct forces, and only the entire Victorian council had the authority to mobilize them, apart from His Majesty.

"However, the last Victorian steam knight was conferred more than twenty years ago."

After Vina finished speaking, looking into Mei Xue's bright eyes and the curiosity within them, she couldn't help but feel a strange emotion. It had been a long time since she had talked about Victoria with anyone like this. Although there were many secrets about the Steam Knights that were unknown to others, she happened to know some of Victoria's secrets.

"So, the Steam Knight pilots a Gundam?"

Mei Xue twitched his fox ears. He had listened carefully to everything Vina had said, especially the part about "steam knights fighting in huge mechanical armor".

What is a Gundam?

"Hmm~ It's a very tall robot, that's what the doctor told me."

It's not a big deal that the Doctor from Rhodes Island occasionally uses some strange words, and Vina nodded in agreement.

"Sister Vina, is this what the steam knight you're talking about looks like?"

Looking around, there wasn't much of a person on the training ground. Vina's description of the Steam Knight sounded very familiar to Mei Xue, and he had a vague impression of it. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his tail, reached in and grabbed something, then casually tossed it onto the training ground.

To Lin Guang and Vina, the little fox simply tossed a dark shadow out of its tail, landing silently without even stirring up any dust. But when they saw what it was, they couldn't hold back anymore.

"Victoria's Steam Knight Armor!"
