Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mandela knew its identity as a pet and wisely concealed its presence, remaining still and silent, and simply lay down to sleep, looking rather adorable.

"This is it, please come in. Oh, Viviana, could you please get me the snacks I brought?"

"Of course, but I can't carry them all by myself. Meixue, would you like to help your older sister?"

(Here it comes, the true colors are revealed!)

(Heh, so that's what you were planning. Is that all?)

If it weren't for politeness, Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark would probably have sneered. Viviana was clearly interested in Mei Xue.

"it is good!"

Mei Xue's quick agreement made Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark frown slightly, and also surprised Viviana. Perhaps noticing that her two older sisters' eyes were not quite right, Mei Xue ran up to them and hugged each of them, rubbing her face against theirs to comfort them.

"Okay, remember not to cause trouble for others, and be sure to call me if you need anything."

Lin Qingyan reached out and straightened Mei Xue's clothes. The little fox nodded and then left temporarily with Viviana. Ioleta couldn't help but smile. Could this mean that the little fox also had feelings for Viviana? After all, he was a boy, and it just so happened that he was at the age of first love.

"Excuse my boldness, Miss Lin Qingyan, is Mei Xue currently engaged?"

(They really came. Tsk, I should have arranged for Mei Xue to find a place to stay first.)

Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark knew this would happen from the beginning. Viviana practically had "I like Mei Xue" written all over her face. This Grand Knight Commander probably also realized that Mei Xue's identity was extraordinary and wanted to use this to promote cooperation between the two countries.

Hehe, but if you're so capable, go ahead and try to kidnap Mei Xue? It's not certain who'll kidnap whom then.

"No."

As soon as Lin Qingyan finished speaking, the girls of Rhodes Island suddenly felt deeply offended.

"So... what does Miss Lin think of Viviana?"

Chapter 290 Who can withstand this?

Viviana is a good girl. Anyway, Mei Xue's first impression of her was quite good, probably because of that feeling of déjà vu.

Although she had some time alone, Mei Xue didn't know how to start a conversation with Viviana. What if she had made a mistake? That would be awkward, and the little fox might run away in embarrassment.

Of course, Viviana didn't know how to bring it up with Mei Xue, since the little fox didn't remember her now, and it would be bad if she were too enthusiastic.

But keeping quiet all the time wasn't a good idea, so Viviana hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to take the initiative.

"Mei Xue, do you still remember me?"

The little fox's tail suddenly bristled, and it wagged it proudly. Sure enough, it hadn't mistaken her for someone else; this Sister Viviana really was the person written in the little notebook.

"Sister, do you recognize me from before?"

"Yes, back then you only had four tails."

Mei Xue with six tails was much cuter than one with four. Viviana wondered if she should pluck a little tail from the fox, but unfortunately she was only there to get some snacks and couldn't linger too long. Besides, Mei Xue didn't recognize her now.

"So, are we friends?"

This question stumped Viviana, as it wasn't easy to answer. Mei Xue's mental age was probably even younger than it was back then. Viviana thought that she and he weren't really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, since she hadn't confessed her feelings. That night, she was just too drunk to resist.

However, Viviana quickly remembered Mei Xue's group of ill-intentioned, brother-obsessed older sisters. Although she had never met them, she had heard the Doctor mention them a lot.

"Strictly speaking, we're siblings, the kind who can sleep together."

Seeing that Mei Xue seemed to intend to continue asking questions, Viviana reached out and tapped his head, shaking her head. Now was not the time; there were still quite a few outsiders here, and saying too much would arouse suspicion.

"Do you have time to go shopping together tomorrow?"

Viviana picked up the pastries, winked playfully at Mei Xue, revealing a girlish side completely different from her usual self. The little fox nodded; he was here for tourism, so of course he had time to play.

"Children who grow up need to learn to be independent."

Leaving behind this cryptic remark, Viviana smiled and led Mei Xue back to the lounge. But for some reason, the little fox felt that her two older sisters seemed to be in an even worse mood. On the contrary, the Grand Knight Aunt always had a meaningful smile on her face. Especially when she saw Mei Xue and Viviana come in together, she noticed that the two seemed to have become quite familiar with each other.

We've already talked a lot, so what follows is just some random small talk, but the Grand Knight always manages to steer the conversation around Mei Xue.

With the help of the Supervisory Council, Mei Xue and her two companions quickly settled into a hotel in Kazimierz. The area was surrounded by excellent tourist attractions and a bustling commercial district, making it ideal for tourists.

After a brief chat and expressions of gratitude, Lin Qingyan and the others chose to leave. If they stayed any longer, the Grand Knight Commander would probably just ask Mei Xue if she was willing to marry into the family.

Watching them leave, Ioleta turned her gaze back to her adopted daughter, and saw joy in her eyes.

"It seems you are quite satisfied with him."

"Ah."

Viviana responded and then said no more. How could she be dissatisfied? Her only complaint about Mei Xue was that he hadn't married her yet. Everything else about the little fox was wonderful.

"However, if you really want to get married, the Business Federation will put a lot of pressure on you. Those guys are only thinking about how to use this to make more money."

"Weren't you just urging me to hurry up?"

"After all, thinking and doing are two different things."

While they were discussing this, Mei Xue was inexplicably grabbed by the ears by Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark. The little fox looked at them with a wronged expression, wondering why they were grabbing her ears when she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Gentlemen, please keep your room keys safe. Would you like me to take you directly to the hotel?"

"No need, we have other things to do, so please don't trouble yourself."

Lin Qingyan waved her hand. She would feel uncomfortable if someone followed her. Besides, Mei Xue had some things to do, such as buying some delicious food for her friends to take back and delivering a letter for Lin Guang.

"By the way, Uncle, could you tell me where Sister Linguang lives?"

Mei Xue's words left the staff member in charge of receiving them completely bewildered. If he understood correctly, the Nearl the little fox was referring to was that one, right? No, there's only one Nearl in Kazimierz, so why was he calling her "sister"?

"You mean they went to Lin Guang's house?"

Through their informant within the Supervisory Council, the Business Federation learned immediately that Mei Xue and her group had gone to the Lin Guang family. But this didn't make sense; they couldn't understand why Mei Xue and her group would be involved with the Lin Guang family.

Although Lin Qingyan and her entourage were only making a polite visit, her status as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and Special Envoy was enough to represent the Great Yan Dynasty at certain times. This was also an opportunity for the Business Federation, whose development had always been restricted to Kazimir. If they could expand into the Great Yan Dynasty, they would surely gain more benefits.

With the help of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, although it's hard to say that success can be achieved in one step, it shouldn't be a problem to open the door. This is why the Business Federation chose to send Viviana to sound out the situation. Otherwise, they could have sent anyone, as long as they didn't act impolitely.

"Could these people be related to the Lin Guang family? If so, this will be difficult to handle..."

Although the Linguang family made great contributions to Kazimierz and was once glorious, their current situation is not so good. Coupled with the intentional or unintentional suppression by the Business Federation, it is no exaggeration to say that the family has fallen into decline.

If this matter affects cooperation with the Great Yan, it would be a loss, especially since Viviana has said that the Junior Minister of Great Yan has expressed interest in cooperation.

"There's no need to worry too much about it. Regardless of what Viviana says, can a mere Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review really help us open trade routes?"

"One junior minister is certainly not enough, but think about it. If we are really just here for sightseeing, why would we need to visit the Supervisory Council? The one who can really speak for us is not that Qilin."

"You mean that Agor is their key figure?"

"Otherwise, it could be that little kid?"

The directors of the Business Federation were all talking excitedly. Everyone wanted to open up the market in Da Yan. Everyone knew that they could get at least five times more profit than they did now. Da Yan's prosperity was enviable, but its unknown strength made people wary. Da Yan had never taken the initiative to negotiate with other countries. Now that they had an opportunity, these businessmen naturally wanted to seize it.

"But what should we do about what they say?"

"We can't be reckless. We need to find out their personalities first. Let's start with that child. Isn't Platinum the one responsible for protecting him? Let her sound him out."

Clearly, the Business Federation had already made its plans, but Mei Xue didn't have any bad feeling about it. The three little foxes and their companions wandered around until they arrived at the Lin Guang family's mansion, and then they wondered if they had gone to the wrong place.

I had heard that the Lin Guang family held a very high position and that their ancestors had made many contributions. How come such a large courtyard was completely deserted? Not to mention the house, which looked like it hadn't been maintained for a long time, the garden was also overgrown with weeds. If it weren't for the mailbox still there, Lin Qingyan would have suspected that they had moved.

"It seems like nobody's here."

"It's okay, it'll be done in a little while."

Lin Qingyan glanced at the sky and could only say that Mei Xue's luck was truly unreasonable. It wasn't very hot today, but the sun was too bright and dazzling. However, a cloud had been floating above their heads since earlier, following Mei Xue wherever she went, as if afraid that the little fox would be exposed to the sun.

With such luck, why be afraid of getting a free ride?

"Hey, are you the same people from today?"

Sure enough, the main character arrived in less than half a minute, and it was the same girl he had met once before. The little fox couldn't help but wag his tail. He said that he felt like he had seen this sister before because she was very similar to Lin Guang. However, Lin Guang was very cool, while this sister was more lively.

"May I ask if there's anything I can help you with?"

Zofia looked at the three of them with some doubt. She had just seen them enter the Supervisory Council, and considering the races of Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark, it was easy to deduce that they were all from out of town, perhaps even envoys from some country.

Do you know Sister Lin Guang?

The little fox took out the letter from its tail and said something that shocked both of them. Maria finally realized what Mei Xue had said and covered her mouth.

"When did I get a younger brother?!"

"When did I gain another nephew?"

Zofia was also somewhat surprised. What? So the Snitz couple mysteriously disappeared in Kazimierz to find a place to have their third child? But how could they have had a Volper?

"You're Lin Guang's family? That's wonderful! This is a letter for you!"

Mei Xue handed the letter to Maria. He had initially thought the task would be quite difficult, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy.

"It was written by Margaret. You know her?"

Zofia glanced at the signature on the letter, and the familiar name stirred up many memories for her. It had been so long since she had received any news from this niece since they parted ways a few years ago, and she never expected to receive it by chance today.

"Yes, Sister Linguang and the others will arrive later."

Well-behaved, cute, and very polite—that was Maria and Zofia's first impression of Mei Xue. The little fox was the kind of person you'd like at first sight. Besides, he was also delivering letters to Margaret, so judging from their conversation, they must have a good relationship.

"Please come in and have a seat. We just bought some groceries. If you don't mind, we can have a meal together."

Guests from afar are always welcome, and Mei Xue even knows Margaret, so Zofia and Maria can't neglect them. However, it's a bit awkward. The Lin Guang family has long lost its former glory and has fallen on hard times. A lot of their furniture has been sold to supplement their income. Zofia, as their aunt, is quite wealthy, but she is not a member of the Lin Guang family; she only has a title in the family.

Mei Xue and the others' every move was naturally under the watchful eyes of others, and the Supervisory Council and the Business Federation would not allow them to run around freely.

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, Doctor and Kroos were still lying in their hospital beds, looking at Blaze next to them, who was also having trouble walking, and sighed helplessly at each other.

"It would be better not to release Mei Xue on nights of double full moon in the future."

"I agree."

"You guys fucking screwed me over!"

Huang really wanted to let Miss Doctor and Kroos experience how thrilling it was to freefall hundreds of meters. Those two had almost killed her. It was really exhilarating at that moment, but it was also really deadly. She felt like she was dealing with a pile driver!

"You only lasted half an hour, but we were put through eight whole hours! Eight hours!"

Kroos was almost in tears. She had almost forgotten how energetic that little fox was. After she and the Doctor were charmed, they couldn't control themselves at all. At first, everyone was quite comfortable, but things changed later. Kroos was a Blood Demon, not a Succubus, and the Doctor's physical condition was also quite average.

So even when the two of them took turns going to the back, they were still complaining and refusing to give up. Even though they were being tortured and begging for mercy, their bodies still honestly chose to continue.

"You have no idea, I threw up. People who didn't know would have thought I was pregnant."
