Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mei Xue didn't suspect anything, since he didn't sense any danger from Bai Jin, meaning the other party wouldn't harm him. Even Mei Xue wasn't afraid, since the little fox's tail still contained Leivatin, and the Flaming Demon Sword would appear at any time to protect him.

In addition, there are many self-destruction, no, self-preservation measures, such as the scroll given by Xi and the automatic Gundam given by Nian.

Invited into the house, Miss Platinum's professional instincts as an assassin made her subconsciously observe the entire room. It must be said that the Supervisory Council had made good arrangements. It was a very comfortable place without being extravagant. The facilities inside were very complete. It is said that the envoys of the Great Yan do not like extravagance. Columbia once arranged a high-end villa for an envoy, but the other party insisted on changing it to an ordinary guest room.

According to them, it means eliminating all unhealthy practices and evil influences.

"Please have a seat, sister. I'll go pour some tea."

The little fox obediently ran to the table, and Bai Jin noticed that there was a math workbook on it, the kind that would give anyone a headache just by looking at it. However, there were two or three comic books and a handheld game console on the bed. The TV was off, so Mei Xue was probably doing her homework.

On the bedside table was a huge limited edition Shining Knight figurine, the kind that lights up, followed by a suitcase and some miscellaneous items, such as a backpack.

"Enjoy your meal, sister."

Mei Xue brought him genuine Da Hong Pao tea from Dayan. Although he couldn't directly slam the table and say that Mei Xue was under his protection, Dayan often sent people to deliver things to him, such as these teas and snacks, and sometimes toys. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dayan sent him mooncakes.

"Thank you. Where are your sisters?"

"Sister Ghost Shark went out to buy things, and Sister Lin Qingyan said she was going to visit some business association... um, the business federation."

Because of the previous experience with the Supervisory Council, Lin Qingyan did not bring Mei Xue this time, fearing that the little fox might attract some shady woman again. However, he specifically instructed the little fox to be careful and not to communicate with strange women.

It's not that I'm worried about Mei Xue's safety. As for what I'm worried about... well, you all know. There are already enough people on Rhodes Island who covet the little fox.

"I see, so you came here just for fun?"

"Yeah, what else can we do?"

Mei Xue wagged her tail, and Mandra leaped out of the shadows and landed gracefully on her tail. She then jumped onto the little fox's shoulder and stood firmly, looking down at Miss Platinum with a superior air.

The dignified Platinum Queen actually sensed a dangerous aura from a cat. She guessed that this might be a hidden hand of the Great Yan, and that it was indeed impossible for her to leave this little guy alone so easily.

"By the way, you are... called Mei Xue, right?"

"Ah."

"You can just call me Platinum."

The situation was much better than Bai Jin had expected. At least Mei Xue wasn't causing as much trouble; in fact, she was quite polite, though a bit too gullible.

"Does Platinum Sister want some cake?"

The little fox twitched his ears. He was never short of food; he had left quite a bit for Lin Guang when he was a guest at Lin Guang's house earlier.

"unnecessary."

Platinum tries to appear aloof to avoid unnecessary trouble. Children can be naughty at times, and pretending to be difficult to get along with can solve a lot of problems.

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Mei Xue cut off a piece and placed it next to her before returning to her desk to continue doing her homework, knowing that Lin Qingyan would check it when he came back that evening.

Although the little fox is very clever, this workbook was jointly produced by Kal'tsit and the Doctor, and there are many difficult questions. The key is that there are no multiple-choice questions, which is his forte. When Mei Xue is thinking, she tends to fidget, such as scratching her ears or biting her tail. Mandra can't even understand these questions. Well, what a silly cat.

However, with Mei Xue supporting her, she didn't have to go to work or take exams, and her life was incredibly leisurely. The little fox would always share whatever she ate with her.

"Meow." (Thank goodness I don't have to learn this.)

"Yeah, it's good."

Mei Xue nodded. Actually, it wasn't unreasonable for Kal'tsit and the Doctor to set such difficult questions. Miss Black Snake had taught Mei Xue so much knowledge, especially history and mathematics. The little fox's knowledge was so vast that even Huang was ashamed and willing to submit to her. Oh, no, that sounds a bit strange.

"Meow?" (Has the owner decided where to go for fun?)

"Well, tonight we'll go see if there are any special snacks around here and buy some to take back for everyone."

This was somewhat frightening. Bai Jin watched as Mei Xue chatted with a cat, and she even wondered if the little boy had some kind of mental illness.

She quietly walked up and glanced at Mei Xue's workbook. Well, she couldn't even understand a single formula.

"How old are you?"

"Hmm...maybe 14, maybe 17, or maybe even a hundred million more."

Mei Xue thought for a moment. Although he didn't have many memories of the past, he knew that he was much older than the Great Yan. However, this shouldn't stop the little fox from being a child. Su Xue'er said that this was the best thing for him.

Only by remaining a child at heart, with curiosity and hope for everything, and kindness towards others, can one traverse the vast expanse of time.

The Doctor once told Mei Xue that Kal'tsit was so indifferent to others because she had lived too long, knew too much, and seen too much. She gradually became disappointed with some things and chose to give up, but she still had to persist in doing some things.

Imagine if it were Mei Xue, who lived even longer than her... Never mind, the little fox didn't think about those things. He was used to emptying his mind and didn't have any complicated calculations. He just wanted to live a good life with his sister and friends.

His older sisters liked his innocent and naive nature, so Mei Xue was exactly the kind of person they liked. He was happy with that, and being just a younger brother was quite nice.

However, Bai Jin was unaware of Mei Xue's thoughts. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think the little fox looked 17 years old. Saying he was 14 would be a stretch; he seemed to be at most 12.

"It doesn't look like it."

"That's what all the older sisters say."

Mei Xue wagged his tail. He knew he was short. He remembered that in his dream, he was at least a teenager. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was at least tall! A full 1.54 meters!

If it weren't for the fact that making a wish would cause memory loss, and that she didn't know how to make a wish, Mei Xue would definitely want to grow taller. The little fox's obsession is quite deep.

"By the way, Meixue, have you decided where to go for fun this time?"

Bai Jin was hoping that Mei Xue wouldn't wander around, especially near Plot Zero, where there were too many infected people. She wanted to slack off as long as nothing went wrong, since it wasn't easy to get paid these days.

"No."

The little fox hugged its tail and patted it. They were all unfamiliar with Kazimierz and didn't know what to do, so Ghost Shark decided to go out and see what fun things there were in the city.

"Don't you suspect I'm a bad person?"

This is what Bai Jin doesn't understand the most. Mei Xue's vigilance isn't exactly low, but it's practically nonexistent. This little fox can be fooled by anyone. Her sense of security needs to be improved.

Is my sister a bad person?

"Um... of course not for you."

It's not always easy to distinguish between good and bad people, but Bai Jin doesn't consider herself a good person. Everyone in the Wuzhou Alliance has blood on their hands. Although most of the people she killed weren't good, there were innocent victims too. If this mission wasn't to protect Mei Xue but to eliminate him, Bai Jin probably couldn't think of any mission that could be simpler.

(Deeppool and Therese are saying, "You're really amazing!")

"Then there's no problem."

The little fox smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. For the first time, Platinum felt that being a child wasn't so bad; knowing too little meant having fewer worries.

But if she had intended to get rid of Mei Xue, whether she could even get to the little fox was another matter entirely; she was lucky to even make it to the hospital alive.

"I really don't know what to say."

Mei Xue's naiveté displeased Bai Jin. She realized that this mission target would likely cause her a lot of trouble, but what could she do? She had to make do, since this little fox was someone she was protecting, and the Business Federation had provided quite a bit of money.

For the rest of the time, Platinum didn't say anything, but just observed Mei Xue. The little fox wasn't too reserved, but kept a good distance from Platinum. After finishing her homework, she played with the cat, ate something, played a game, and then took out the wallet she had found that day from her tail and put it on the table.

I found three wallets when I went to the prison committee, then I found two more at Rinko's house, and then four more when I returned to the hotel, but I was able to find the owners of only the first two wallets.

"Isn't this my wallet?"

Platinum noticed her belongings immediately. The little fox looked at her with some confusion, thought for a moment, and then tossed her the lady's wallet. After opening the remaining wallets, she found no identification documents.

I wouldn't believe that these wallets were stolen by Mei Xue, but it's impossible that they were all bought. Wait, could they all have been found?

"Why is there only money? How are we going to pay them back?"

Mei Xue put the wallet away with a headache, while Bai Jin leaned over with some confusion.

"You found all of these?"

"Ah."

"today?"

"Yes."

"What kind of luck do you have?"

Bai Jin glanced at them; the wallets were full of cash, nothing else. It was practically a gift of money to Mei Xue.

"I'm used to it."

The little fox took a bite of the cake. Finding money was nothing to be surprised about; it was all unearned for the little fox. If Kal'tsit and the Doctor were here, they would definitely make him hand it over.

Moreover, even if these wallets were sent to the lost and found, no one would come to claim them. If you really want to say something, they are all ways in which fate expresses its care for Mei Xue. Finding money is a very straightforward expression of that.

"Oh, by the way, sister, could you take me out for a bit?"

"……All right."

There was nothing he could do; after all, Mei Xue was someone he was protecting. As long as the request wasn't too outrageous, Bai Jin had no way to refuse.

The little fox twitched its ears, happily walked to the edge of the platinum, and, to the platinum's astonishment, stuffed its bow and arrow into its tail. Then, it happily opened the door and rushed...rushed into Viviana's arms.

"Mei Xue, did you miss me?"

Viviana hugged Mei Xue and rubbed him, then unceremoniously kissed him on the cheek. Before she could even be happy, she saw Bai Jin sitting on Mei Xue's bed with a "holy crap, I think I've seen something incredible" expression.

"I didn't see anything!"

Platinum quickly covered her eyes. Good heavens, she never expected that the gentle and beautiful Viviana, known as the Marigold of Casimir, would have such a side. Oh my god, will she be silenced?

Looking at Miss Platinum's cold and beautiful face and slightly revealing attire, Viviana raised an eyebrow slightly, reached out and gently pinched Mei Xue's cheek, then lowered her head and bit the little fox's ear.

"If you're craving something sweet, just give me a call. What's so great about this kind of stranger?"

Platinum is certain that Viviana meant "this kind of flat-chested woman." Is this still the same gentle, polite, and kind Candle Knight? No, why does she seem to have a rather unusual relationship with this little fox?

And if Platinum understands correctly, if Viviana's words had reached elsewhere, her knighthood would definitely be over!

What exactly is the relationship between this little fox and the Candle Knight?

Chapter 292 Getting a Marriage Certificate (High and Low)

Victoria, the ancient nation that once dominated Terra, now faces numerous problems. With the death of its last king amidst public outrage, undercurrents are constantly surging beneath the seemingly peaceful twenty years. The Sarkaz have seized control of the central capital, Lontinim, and the Grand Dukes each harbor their own ambitions, all vying for the throne and the right to rule the world.

In such an environment, it is indeed not easy for Victoria to maintain a semblance of peace, but it will only last for more than twenty years. What is bound to happen will happen, and there is no escaping or avoiding it. Sooner or later, the Sarkaz and the Grand Dukes will have a war, and neighboring countries will probably take advantage of the situation. Ursus's sudden attack is also quite distressing.

Everyone initially thought that a stalemate would be fine for a while, but unexpectedly, a fight actually broke out, and it was Victoria who took the initiative to provoke them. This was quite unexpected, at least Theresis and the several dukes guarding the border of Victoria did not really want to fight with Ursus. They just wanted to use this opportunity to cover their tracks and continue to secretly accumulate strength.

After all, the Grand Duke and the Sarkaz only see themselves as their true enemy. No matter how powerful Ursus was in the past, it is impossible for them to take over the entire border of Victoria now. Their original goal was not expansion. Now they are just using the pretext of war to divert attention on the one hand, and start various internal settlement operations on the other.

"But how did a fight break out?"

Frostnova couldn't understand whether Victoria had gone crazy or Ursus had lost its mind. Starting a war at this time was definitely not a good idea. The Reunion Movement had just captured two cities and the pressure on the Great Yan had just eased. Ursus's target should be the Reunion Movement at this time, so why were they fighting with Victoria?

However, this is also a good thing. Victoria has tied down Ursus' elite troops, which has reduced the casualties on the Reunion side. The two cities that have been captured in succession have also been stabilized. Fortunately, the large-scale propaganda work done beforehand was good, and the residents of the city did not become too resistant to the Reunion movement.
