Talulah, I'm still a child.

Although she really liked the taste, Mei Xue wasn't greedy. Talulah had said that you should share good food and fun things. Back then, she would even give Mei Xue a bitten apple as an example. The little fox remembered everything her sister taught her, and this was bought by Chen Huijie.

"I'll only eat one, the rest are yours, and you can have this marshmallow too."

As Chen Huijie bit into the second candied hawthorn, she vaguely tasted an unusual sweetness. It wasn't the sweetness of hawthorn or rock sugar, but rather more like a sweet nectar. Although it wasn't much, it was impossible to ignore. Chen Huijie realized something and subconsciously looked at Mei Xue's lips. The little fox was curiously looking at the cotton candy in her hand. This time, she was bolder and bit into it directly, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Just as Chen Huijie was deep in thought, the communicator suddenly rang, interrupting her train of thought. It was a ringtone that only sounded for emergency orders from the Guard Bureau.

"What's matter?"

Seeing Chen Huijie take out her phone and answer it, and her expression growing increasingly grim, the little fox knew something bad must have happened. It wagged its tail, and although the communicator was quiet, some words could still be heard.

"Tsk... why did it have to be at this time?"

"Sister, I want to go home."

Before Chen Huijie could even speak, the little fox took the initiative to suggest going home. He gently wagged his tail. Although it was only half a day, Mei Xue, who wasn't greedy, was already very satisfied. She had new clothes and delicious food; what more could she ask for?

"Then I'll take it..."

“Meixue has already memorized the way and can go home by herself. Sister, go quickly.”

The little fox took out the twin swords that belonged to Chen Huijie, which it had previously put in its tail, and handed them to Chen Huijie. "I can't cause trouble for Sister Chen," this was one of the things the little fox had thought about before it came.

Chen Huijie reached out and grasped the twin swords. She looked at Mei Xue, who had a resolute expression, and saw a hint of unease in the little fox's eyes. Clearly, leaving Chen Huijie, someone he could rely on and trust, was not a good thing for him. However, she had official business to attend to and needed to get there as soon as possible.

Do you know how to hail a taxi?

"Ah."

"Then take a taxi back. If you encounter any danger, press the emergency alarm I gave you."

After saying that, Chen Huijie put her wallet in Mei Xue's hand. She was still worried that the little fox would get lost. If she didn't say something, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Talulah, and she would feel guilty.

However, when Chen Huijie tried to take the sword away, she found that Chixiao seemed impossible to lift. Well, it was completely stuck to Mei Xue's hand. What was going on? Mei Xue's hand was outstretched, and there was no glue on it.

"what happened?"

Chixiao was firmly stuck in Mei Xue's hand. The little fox realized that something was wrong. He tried to shake his hand and found that the sword seemed to have chosen him and refused to leave.

"Chixiao, come back!"

Chen Huijie gripped the hilt of Chixiao's sword tightly, but Chixiao only made a buzzing sound, as if it was disgusted by her.

"Hmm... this sword is really disobedient."

The little fox frowned. Even he knew that Sister Chen had something very important to do, yet this sword still wouldn't cooperate.

Seemingly having heard the little fox's complaint, Chixiao suddenly slipped from his hand and returned to Chen Huijie's. However, Chen Huijie could clearly feel the aggrieved emotion emanating from the Chixiao sword. Her eyelids twitched twice. This had never happened before. Chixiao was clearly just a sword, so how could it have such emotional fluctuations?

"elder sister."

The little fox's voice brought Chen Huijie back to his senses, and he gently tugged at Chen's sleeve.

"Meixue will stay home and wait for her sister to come back. Sister, please take good care of yourself and don't get hurt."

Unease, worry, and concern were the emotions most evident in the little fox's eyes. Chen Huijie's heart softened. No one had ever said these things to her before. Wei Yanwu was mostly indifferent, and Wen Yue was busy with many things. She lived alone and wanted to prove her abilities. No matter what kind of injury she suffered, she had to endure it. She never expected that after knowing her for less than half a day, this little fox would be so worried about her.

"Yes... Sister will return safely."

After saying this, Chen Huijie quickly hailed a taxi and ran towards the scene of the crime, leaving the little fox standing there. He put Chen Huijie's wallet back into his tail, then smiled at Croissant and nodded gently.

Goodbye, sister~

After saying this, the little fox waved like Chen Huijie. A car that looked a little different stopped in front of him. The driver, wearing sunglasses, rolled down the window and looked at Mei Xue. Ke Song opened his mouth in surprise, intending to say something, but then felt like he had something stuck in his throat.

"Sister, how much does it cost to ship to Penguin Logistics?"

"Penguin Logistics... 10 Dragonmen Coins".

"Ok."

Watching the little fox get into the car and drive away, Croissant's legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Her mind was filled with the image of the driver from earlier. Wasn't that Wei Yanwu's wife, Wen Yue, who was above 10,000 people in the entire Longmen? Why did she need to drive a taxi?

Wait, where did Mei Xue say he was going?

Chapter 42 Life is tough, Wen Yue sighs.

Although it wasn't her first time riding in a car, Mei Xue still felt uneasy this time because she was alone. She kept talking to Miss Black Snake in her mind, while Wen Yue in the driver's seat was also observing her.

As the mayor's wife, Wen Yue may not have much real power, but her words carry a lot of weight. At least Wei Yanwu's bank cards are in her hands, so she has no need to drive a taxi to make money. Logically speaking, no one would drive a modified race car these days.

Actually, she had been waiting on the other side of the street since Chen Huijie and the little fox bought candied hawthorns. She originally planned to have the Guard Bureau find an opportunity to distract Chen Huijie so that she could go directly to Mei Xue's door to make contact. Unexpectedly, an explosion occurred at Taikoo Place, so Chen Huijie had to leave in a hurry, leaving Mei Xue behind, which also gave Wen Yue an opportunity.

"Little friend, are you all alone?"

"Um...yes, what's wrong, sister?"

It has to be said that the way she called her "sister" was incredibly sweet and charming. Wen Yue wanted to step on the gas and speed away. For her, age was a number, a number that was taboo to be mentioned. For most women who were over 30, no one wanted to get old, and Wen Yue was no exception. In particular, Wei Yanwu's sneaky visits to the red-light district made her feel that she was really old. She bought a lot of skincare and cosmetic products (poor Wei Yanwu's wallet).

How could I not make this kid, who called me "sister" right off the bat, happy? Perfect, perfect, that's great!

"It's nothing, it's just that it's not good for a little kid like you to go out alone. You need to be careful, or it would be terrible if I were a bad guy."

Clearly, Chen Huijie was in a hurry at the time. After all, the explosion occurred in a crowded square and could be considered the biggest accident of the year. Otherwise, she would have put the little fox in the car first.

"It's okay, my sister isn't a bad person, I can tell."

Mei Xue wagged her tail triumphantly. Wen Yue didn't have that unpleasant aura, and her words and actions were normal, so although Mei Xue remained vigilant, she wasn't too worried about her safety. Besides, the little fox wasn't without the ability to self-destruct. Well, self-destruct, not four times, that's a typo.

"You really have a sweet tongue. I'm hardly an older sister. Calling me 'Auntie' makes me sound younger."

"Oh, really?"

The little fox hugged his tail somewhat embarrassedly, feeling ashamed for his mistake. He had genuinely thought Wen Yue wasn't much older than Chen Huijie based solely on appearance.

"Yes, but it's okay. Every woman wants to look younger, even if it's just what others say."

"But I think Auntie is really young, about the same age as my sister."

"Say more, Auntie loves to hear it."

Wen Yue stepped on the gas and took the little fox on another route. Although it would also get to Penguin Logistics, it would take at least half an hour. She had plenty of time to chat with Mei Xue. Judging from its current behavior, the little fox was too easy to fool. Although it was wary of the bags around it, as long as it kept a certain distance, it was still easy to have a conversation like this.

"By the way, little friend, what's your name?"

"Hmm... Mei Xue."

"Mei Xue, plum blossoms falling in the snow, it's a very nice name. I'll call you Mei Xue then, and you can call me Aunt Wen Yue, okay?"

"it is good."

Mei Xue wagged his tail. He and Wen Yue sat diagonally opposite each other. Although the spacious sports car did not maintain a safe distance, the seats between them made Mei Xue feel much safer. He did not mind chatting with this aunt. After all, his sister had said that it was impolite to ignore someone who took the initiative to talk to you, unless there was a conflict between you.

"So, Meixue, where are you from? Auntie has never seen such a cute child like you before."

"I……"

This problem stumped the little fox. It wasn't that Mei Xue didn't know she should conceal her identity, but lying would make the little fox feel guilty, especially since Wen Yue didn't seem bad to him; this aunt was a good person.

"Is it hard to say?"

"Ah."

"Then I won't ask that. Mei Xue, what were you doing at Penguin Logistics?"

Wen Yue asked casually, but she was actually trying to get information out of him. Although the black snake hiding in the tail knew Wen Yue's true identity, she had no intention of telling Mei Xue. She knew that if she revealed it, the little fox might panic and expose a flaw, which would be really bad. It was better for Mei Xue to talk to Wen Yue directly. Mei Xue had a charming temperament that she didn't have. She only needed to be on guard against the little fox making a mistake.

"Go make money."

"make money?"

This answer was somewhat beyond Wen Yue's expectations. The reason she cared about Mei Xue going to Penguin Logistics was because although Penguin Logistics was just a logistics company, it held a high position in Longmen. On the one hand, each Penguin Logistics team was quite capable, and on the other hand, their boss, the penguin named Emperor, was a real powerhouse. She had thought that Mei Xue and Emperor had a relationship, but she didn't expect that she would go there to make money.

"Well, I'm living at my sister's house now, but I don't have any money... My sister used to say that you should earn your own money and spend it yourself, and that a hardworking fox should be able to manage the household early."

Mei Xue wagged her tail. The money provided by the integration was not enough for the little fox to live here for three years. However, Chen Huijie's money was also earned by himself. The little fox did not want to be a burden. He came to Lungmen this time hoping to help Talulah more in the future. If he had to rely on others for his livelihood, he would rather stay by Talulah's side.

As for the sentence mentioned above, neither Talulah nor Alina had actually said it. It was something that suddenly flashed through Mei Xue's mind and she blurted it out. However, it did make Wen Yue laugh out loud. She looked at Mei Xue through the rearview mirror. The little fox's eyes were very firm, and there was no sign of him lying. Of course, Wen Yue would not draw any conclusions based on this. She simply continued to chat with the little fox, trying to get some information out of him.

However, Mei Xue was always able to answer well because he had experienced most of the questions Wen Yue asked. For example, he said that he used to live in a village. When Wen Yue mentioned things about the countryside, the little fox could always talk a lot about his uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, and a kind and gentle old grandfather.

When talking about the past, Mei Xue's eyes always shone with nostalgia, but she quickly became a little sad because it would be several more years before she could see him again. Seeing that the child was not lying, Wen Yue temporarily believed him.

"By the way, Auntie, why are you driving a taxi?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. It's all because my husband is useless. We're already poor, and he spends all his time going out to the red-light district. He doesn't do anything productive. What can I do but drive a taxi to make money?"

Although she didn't know what "Flower Street" meant, the little fox could tell from Wen Yue's angry expression that it wasn't a good thing. Miss Black Snake thought it was better not to explain these things to the child. Fortunately, Penguin Logistics arrived quickly, and the little fox thoughtfully took out twenty Lungmen coins from its tail and handed them over.

"Why are there ten extra dollars?"

"Because there's another person in Mei Xue's tail."

The little fox pointed to its tail in a serious manner, but Wen Yue took it as a little kindness from the child. In fact, it was true. Mei Xue felt that Wen Yue was a little pitiful. Giving her ten more yuan shouldn't be a problem, as long as it wasn't Chen Jie's money.

"Haha, let's chat again sometime. I wish you success in finding a job."

Goodbye, Auntie!

Watching Wen Yue leave, the little fox wagged its tail and glanced at the entrance of Penguin Logistics in front of it. There was a recruitment notice for new employees posted on the window. What a coincidence! After glancing at the time, the little fox knew it had to hurry inside and go home as soon as possible so that Sister Chen wouldn't worry.

On the other side, Wen Yue glanced at Mei Xue through the rearview mirror. When the little fox took the money, it took it out of its tail. If it were an ordinary person, they might have thought it was Originium Arts. But Wen Yue knew very well that the Great Yan had already explained Mei Xue's abilities in detail, and there were also related legends in her hometown of the Eastern Kingdom.

"The beast of the south... no wonder, but why does it only have three tails left?"

Wen Yue frowned. She didn't believe that the tail had been cut off. If Mei Xue hadn't chosen to sever it himself, it would have regenerated even if it had been cut off. But having three tails meant that his power was much weaker than before, and the wishes he could fulfill were quite limited. If there was anything that Da Yan still valued, it might be his ability to gather fortune. But the number of tails represented the amount of power. How much of a role could Mei Xue play now?

Chapter 43 The Little Fox's Job Application

Penguin Logistics, as an underground logistics organization, is different from other logistics companies in that it can transport all kinds of goods, including lions, and will arrive on time and safely. As an underground logistics company, it has all the legal business licenses and even runs chain stores. Almost all of its employees are armed.

“I’m saying, we should be a legitimate logistics company, right?”

Looking at the damaged Rhine Lab goods on the table, Texas felt the urge to smoke again, even though she had just vowed to quit completely last month. She couldn't help it; the pressure was too much.

"Yes, all the procedures are done through the proper channels. People place orders and we deliver the goods. It's that simple... It should be very simple."

Across from Texas, Kong took a bite of her apple pie. As an idol, she wasn't short of money. She wouldn't be bothered if she lost her salary this month. Texas also had a lot of savings. The job at Penguin Logistics was very dangerous, but the salary wasn't low either. The Emperor was just as generous with his pay as he was with his deductions.

However, speaking of the Emperor, he suffered the biggest loss this time. After all, the monthly salary of Texas and others is not even one percent of the price of this high-precision instrument. The Emperor had to pay the lion's share. That's why he was so disheartened today that he posted a job advertisement at the door, with pretty high salaries and benefits.

"Adding more people to the team... feels a bit strange. Seriously, does anyone want to join us these days?"

Kong was somewhat puzzled. It wasn't that she was overthinking things. Although Penguin Logistics was a legitimate company, it was common knowledge how dangerous their work was, as a logistics company that was involved in 60% of the cases in Longmen. They wouldn't come here unless there were special circumstances.
