Talulah, I'm still a child.

"He has no gender, so you don't need to worry about that. Well, little brother, you really should learn how to use your power so that you can appear anywhere at will, just like me."

As she spoke, Su Xue'er demonstrated it to the little fox, changing her form and appearing in different places without any aura or being noticed. In the blink of an eye, Su Xue'er had an apple in her hand, and Mei Xue opened her mouth without any politeness, waiting for her sister to feed her.

"You know, if I'm not around one day, you'll probably starve to death. Here you go."

Su Xue'er tossed the apple to Mei Xue and rubbed his head. Mei Xue truly lived up to his reputation as the perfect vessel crafted by the Wheel of Fate. Putting aside his affinity with luck, the feel of the apple alone was enviable. Even a pure body seemed quite ordinary to him.

Will my sister abandon me?

Mei Xue hugged Su Xue'er tightly around the waist, afraid that her sister would suddenly disappear as she had said.

"Of course not, how could I bear to part with you? Don't forget I still need you to survive."

With Mei Xue around, the curse and misfortune within Su Xue'er were all suppressed. She couldn't have asked for such a good life, so how could she abandon Mei Xue? Besides, her "younger brother training plan" had only just begun.

The siblings sat down together, and Su Xue'er continued to explain to Mei Xue how to use her abilities. As she had said before, fate is everywhere, so she and Mei Xue can appear anywhere. However, the little fox is not yet proficient, so he cannot be allowed to run too far away, otherwise there may be danger.

"Then, sister, am I only able to bring good luck to others, while you can only bring bad luck?"

"Not really. You can also steal someone else's good luck, so that bad luck outweighs good luck, and the other person will be unlucky. But it's not as powerful as cursing someone like I do."

Everyone experiences both good and bad luck, and the magnitude and proportion of luck depend on a person's karma. The fortune of an emperor cannot be compared to that of an ordinary person, because an emperor's every word and action affects a considerable range. However, nothing is absolute, and there will be different situations.

Mei Xue listened intently, half-asleep, and eventually fell asleep. Su Xue'er smiled and snapped her fingers, and countless pale blue butterflies flew out from her tail, turning into a blanket that covered Mei Xue.

Looking at her younger brother's adorable sleeping face, Su Xue'er couldn't resist bending down and kissing him. Then she felt that Mei Xue had taken away a part of her bad luck.

"It seems He did leave a backup plan. Ha, but I wasn't planning on making a move against Mei anyway."

She rubbed against Mei Xue and didn't seem to mind, continuing to sleep with the little fox against the plum tree.

The dream ended there, and Mei Xue finally opened her eyes groggily. She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that she had only slept for an hour or two, but she felt very energetic.

"The dream I just had was about my sister and me in the past. I wonder if I'll dream about other people."

The little fox hugged his tail and pondered. This was not what he expected. Wasn't it said that memories would be erased after making a wish? Why could he still remember the past? It seemed he would have to ask Kal'tsit and the others.

Oh right, and there's also the fact that I can see the Great Yan from this far away, and I must never use my tail to fish!

However, what intrigued Mei Xue the most was the place where she and Su Xue'er lived, which seemed somewhat different from what she remembered.

“I remember my sister and I lived in the mountains, with a big river flowing between us. Why is it a stream and grassland again this time?”

"That's because over millions of years, mountains have risen from the plains and rivers have flowed from clear streams, so it's naturally not the same as what you remember."

Lin Qingyan brought in lunch. Knowing that Mei Xue didn't like meat, she brought some common dishes from the Great Yan Dynasty. It was also thanks to the hotel kitchen that she was willing to use it. Su Xue'er's cooking skills weren't particularly exquisite, but they were Mei Xue's favorite.

"Come on, let's have lunch first."

"Sister Lin Qingyan!"

Although Mei Xue had inexplicably rejected Lin Qingyan before, she wasn't a willful person. The little fox naturally knew how good she was to him, and he accepted her as his older sister. Moreover, the part of her that belonged to Su Xueer was particularly strong.

But the little fox suddenly remembered what Su Xue'er had taught her in her dream. Its tail swayed gently, and in the next moment it disappeared from the bed and appeared in front of Lin Qingyan. Although it was the first time it had been used, it was surprisingly skilled. However, Lin Qingyan did not seem very surprised.

"Looks like I don't need to teach you this."

"You can do that too, sister?"

“I don’t know how, but I have a lot of your older sister’s memories. I know a lot, but I just haven’t had the chance to teach you.”

Lin Qingyan, after all, is not from a family with extraordinary advantages like Mei Xue and Su Xue'er. He has only inherited a lot of Su Xue'er's memories and knows how to use his luck.

"Does my sister know why I can hear other people praying?"

"That's because you are a lucky charm of the Great Yan, in charge of the entire Great Yan's fortune, and have the most prosperous incense offerings in the Great Yan. You will know when you return to the Great Yan in the future."

Some things can't be explained just by talking. Anyway, with Mei Xue's luck, she'll find out in time. Lin Qingyan obediently fed the little fox.

"By the way, sister, after we arrive in Da Yan, can I go back to my old place to visit?"

"Of course you can. There's no need to report this to me. The place you used to live in has been turned into a top-level animal protection area by the Great Yan. It's regularly maintained, so don't worry about it changing."

"Special Grade Animal Protection Area..."

Mei Xue's little face showed confusion and bewilderment. This statement sounded strange, but he was indeed an endangered species. His only older sister was not around, and he was all alone.

"If people say it's the former residence of a fox spirit, then our mountain will probably be trampled flat."

The little fox is quite popular in Da Yan, so much so that most people in Da Yan are particularly fond of the white fox. Even the most ordinary mountain hunters will sincerely feed the white fox when they see it, hoping for peace. Lin Qingyan estimated that if the little fox were to appear openly in Da Yan, it would definitely cause quite a stir. Therefore, Da Yan has not been in a hurry to send him back yet.

"It seems so."

Mei Xue thought about it for a moment but decided not to investigate further. Eating was the most important thing in the world, so the little fox resolutely buried its head in its food, wagging its tail happily.

But on Rhodes Island, many people didn't have such a good appetite. With Mei Xue not around, everyone felt that food wasn't very appealing. Normally, the little fox only needed to find a place to sit down, and whether it was eating cake or munching on an apple, it was all very appetizing. It would be even better if the little fox could feed them.

Moreover, wherever there is plum blossoms and snow, there is a martial arts world. Every time the little fox appears, it causes quite a bloodbath, which is basically a cafeteria war. It's quite fun.

With Mei Xue gone, the cafeteria felt less lively. Surtr and the others would leave as soon as they finished eating, and Skadi wondered every day if Mei Xue was disgusted by her weight gain. But the little cakes were really delicious.

Mostima was somewhat helpless, but life had to go on. Aside from those who were lusting after Mei Xue, Cecilia missed him the most on the entire Rhodes Island. These past few days, apart from attending classes, she had been learning to cook with her mother and the cafeteria ladies, saying that she would definitely cook something delicious for Mei Xue if she had the chance.

However, she is still too young, so flipping the wok is a bit difficult for her, and she can only make small cakes and the like.

"Without Mei Xue, I don't even want to eat here anymore."

Ifrit poked at her lunch with her spoon out of boredom. She still liked Mei Xue quite a bit. Firstly, because she was able to survive thanks to him, and secondly, because the little fox was nice-speaking and good-looking, and always gave everyone food. For a child, such a friend was very worth missing.

“Yeah, but my brother seems a bit bored in Kazimierz. He says there’s no one to play with.”

"I'd like to play with him!"

Rosemary made her stance clear, but was immediately shoved back into her seat by Huang Maomao's big hand. She wasn't stupid anymore; how could she possibly hide Rosemary's thoughts from her? Especially after learning from Mei Xue that the little cat was closer to her than she was to him, Huang even began to wonder if there was something wrong with her parenting approach.

"Rhodes Island is still some time away from reaching Kazimierz. Let's be patient a little longer. It's better than Skadi, who has to go on a long mission."

Upon hearing Huang mention this, Skadi fell into a melancholy and gloomy state again. In the past, this was a good opportunity for Isamara to seize control of the body, but now she was also saddened. After all, if things continued like this, she and this silly orca might become complete strangers.

But Isamara couldn't do anything about it. Specter was being protected by Mei Xue, and she couldn't let the little fox's affection for her decrease. Besides, the Sirens' mental network was thicker than a city wall; they couldn't break through it.

"But Lily of the Valley seems quite happy, as does Witch Love."

Rosemary glanced at her two best friends. Lily of the Valley, needless to say, was radiating a warm and radiant sunshine. Her smile never stopped, even though she had been absent-minded yesterday afternoon. Mei Xue must have talked to her about something.

As for Wu Lian? Although she still wore a cold expression, the fact that she was willing to sit down and eat with everyone indicated that she was in a good mood. Rosemary could vaguely sense that her mental state was leaning towards happiness.

What exactly did those two talk about with Mei Xue last night? No, I'll have to ask Mei Xue later. It doesn't matter if the little fox is willing to tell me or not; with his limited intelligence, only Xiao Ke can fool him.

"Speaking of which, Mei Xue is going back to Da Yan for the New Year this year. I wonder what the New Year is like there."

Ifrit's topic successfully piqued everyone's curiosity, but they weren't curious about what fun and delicious things there were to do during the New Year in Dayan. Instead, they all unanimously wanted to go to Dayan with Mei Xue for the New Year.

After all, this matter is of great significance. Everyone knows that Da Yan is Mei Xue's hometown. Going back to Da Yan with Mei Xue for the New Year gives them a huge advantage over others, if nothing else.

"I want to go for the New Year too."

“I did talk to Brother Meixue, and he said he’d see if it was too much trouble over there, and if not, he’d take me there.”

It can only be said that Linglan is indeed Linglan, her speed of action is really fast. In fact, she had this plan when she learned that Meixue was going to Da Yan for the New Year.

It's estimated that Rhodes Island will soon be embroiled in another storm over the theme of "Who will go home with Mei Xue for the New Year?"

Chapter 298 The Power of Plum Blossom

"How dare you sign up for the Knights' Tournament with your skills like that?"

"No, not only is your sword strike slow, but your sword techniques are also rigid. Someone like you would probably get beaten to death in a competition."

Zofia's reprimand was harsh, but not wrong. Knightly duels are bloody, and even if few people die, it doesn't mean the outcome will be good. Maria is the youngest daughter of the Nearl family, and countless people want to step on her to make a name for themselves.

"Aunt, I'm not that bad, am I?"

"You can't even withstand one of my sword strikes, do you really think you're so great?"

These words left Maria speechless, but it was the truth. She had never been interested in knights or anything like that since she was a child, but she loved mechanics and forging. So she hadn't learned the swordsmanship, spearmanship, military formations, or charge techniques of the Nearl family. Despite her talent, it was impossible for her to make it directly to the finals by cramming for now. It would be best if she could make it to the top 32 out of 64.

But her older sister, Margaret Nearl, was different. She was a true genius, worthy of the title of the Nearl family's Golden Pegasus. Even among the Conqueror Knights, she was the most outstanding. From a young age, she was highly regarded, and even the uncles and aunts of the Silver Spear Pegasus said that Nearl could become the leader of the Pegasus.

"Swing your sword a thousand times today, and if you get tired, you're only allowed to rest for half a minute."

"Oh……"

There was no other way; she had to finish the path she had chosen, even if she had to crawl. Maria had no choice but to start the tedious sword-wielding routine, while her mind wandered, mostly about her sister Margaret Nearl.

My sister is coming back, and my brother-in-law will be there too. The house is going to be lively from now on. I just don't know when they will get married. I heard from Aunt Zofia that Mei Xue is a guest from Da Yan. Her identity is said to be mysterious but definitely not ordinary.

Maria didn't care about any of that. Although the Nearl family had declined in Kazimierz, it was still a large family. With her sister's return, things would definitely get better in the future. Mei Xue would definitely not suffer if she stayed here.

"It would be even better if you could give me a cute little niece, hehehe..."

To be honest, although she is still quite young, Maria really wants to hold her sister's child, be an aunt or something, and playing with the child would be a lot of fun.

"Sister Maria, what are you laughing at?"

Mei Xue suddenly made a sound, startling Maria so much that she dropped her sword. Turning around, she saw Mei Xue and Lin Qingyan standing behind her. She hadn't even noticed when the two of them had arrived.

"Nothing, just thinking about some happy things, hehe."

Maria laughed it off, knowing it would be very embarrassing if someone had heard what she just said.

When did you arrive?

"Just now, when I came here, I found that your front door was not closed. I saw you practicing sword in the yard and came in. Wasn't that a bit rude?"

With Mei Xue's luck, let alone swaggering into Lin Guang's house, he could walk back to his hotel with his eyes closed.

"How could that be? You're my brother-in-law, so this is your home too. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Maria patted her sturdy breastplate, her smile as bright as sunshine. But after hearing everything, Lin Qingyan felt a jolt of electricity run through her hair. Now that her lightning magic was fully mastered, she was no longer unable to control her current as before, but when her emotions fluctuated too much, she inevitably lost control.

Lin Qingyan reached out and subtly pinched Mei Xue's waist, his meaning clear: When did you get involved with Margaret again?

Mei Xue didn't understand the implication. The little fox just looked at her with some grievance, not quite understanding why her sister pinched her.

"By the way, brother-in-law, will you be going to watch the match in a few days?"

The official competition of the Knights' Arena is still some time away; it's currently just the qualifiers. Winning the first match was easy for Maria, but things might not be so simple afterward. She has already achieved her goal of generating buzz, and the Business Federation will no longer tolerate her.

Mei Xue glanced at Lin Qingyan, and only after seeing her nod to indicate that there was no problem did she look at Maria.

I'll probably go.

Actually, Mei Xue wasn't interested in knightly competitions, especially after Lin Guang talked to her so much. The little fox disliked such competitions even more. However, it was still okay to take her sisters to cheer for Maria. Hmm, she would pull out a dozen speakers from her tail and not be afraid of losing momentum.

This ambiguous answer didn't make Maria uncomfortable; on the contrary, she was quite pleased. Of course, she didn't like that arena either, where the audience was mostly in a frenzy, treating the battles between knights as entertainment. Some people gambled away their fortunes, while others who wanted to obtain a title simply disappeared.
