Talulah, I'm still a child.

Even the soldiers of Ursus couldn't help but praise Silver Spear Pegasus, but such an elite force was actually defeated by a group of child scouts. So each of them must have at least the strength of Rosemary, right? When did Great Yan have such... no, why is it a group of children?

"Dr. Kal'tsit, are all those children like Rosemary...?"

"No, they are not human in the normal sense; they are probably the sirens I mentioned before."

Kal'tsit shook her head. She had her own guesses, and then she remembered that there were some things she hadn't had time to tell Amiya.

"According to Ghost Shark, they obtained something from Mei Xue by chance and evolved from sea creatures into humanoid species, calling themselves Sirens. Because their appearance was based on Mei Xue during their evolution, they are generally not tall."

"Ah!"

More than a hundred Siren Lolis sneezed in unison, seemingly feeling offended, but they still obediently remained in the water, heading towards Kavaleriaki along the river.

This action was entirely impulsive, so it wasn't until they entered Kazimierz that the group of Siren lolis realized they might have gotten into trouble. What if Mei Xue found out? What if they caused trouble for Mei Xue?

But turning back at this point would be too shameful and inappropriate. After beating up the border troops, wouldn't it be too arrogant to just leave like this?

Furthermore, the Sirens were quite eager to see Mei Xue, so they decided to travel by water first. They would send Amaya, the eldest sister with the most experience in human society, to take Gatanothor to find Mei Xue, while the remaining sisters would remain submerged in the water. If anything happened, they would simply move the entire city back to Da Yan.

Meanwhile, news of Silver Spear Pegasus's defeat by a mysterious group of boy scouts reached the ears of the Supervisory Council, who searched extensively but to no avail.

As for the Business Federation, it was in a strange situation. Nearly half of the directors suddenly felt unwell in the afternoon. After going to the hospital for examination, four of them were diagnosed with incurable diseases, and one even had Oripathy. The rest of them had hidden ailments, some more serious than others.

But you should know that the directors of the Business Federation usually have a full-body check-up every week. The results last time were not like this. This strange situation makes it hard not to think about Mei Xue. The little fox is the only one who could be involved in these things.

It's not impossible for someone to get sick; Sami shamans have similar abilities.

But here's the question: how did he manage to do it? Each director is surrounded by trusted bodyguards, so it's impossible for him to poison or assassinate them, let alone make them sick.

Even if Mei Xue had a teleportation-like ability, it would be impossible for her to bypass their surveillance, let alone leave any trace.

"This is really weird..."

The directors of the business association all thought the same thing, and suddenly felt a sense of dread. First, five directors died mysteriously, and now this inexplicable illness. What would happen next? Would they be killed by falling flowerpots or choking on their food one day?

Regardless of the board members' behavior, Miss Platinum is already considering withdrawing from the Unarmored Alliance. There's no other reason than Roy in front of her looks truly miserable.

"Ouch...it hurts."

Lying on the clean hospital bed, Roy looked at the bandages on his abdomen and shoulders. If it weren't for Platinum saving his life, he probably would have really died at Mandra's hands. He didn't know why that Philin chose to leave. With her strength, she would have been more than capable of taking on a Blue Gold and a Platinum. Are all the people of Great Yan monsters?

"Lady Monique said she would arrive shortly."

"She's probably here to mock me. Ha, Platinum, I owe you a life."

Regardless, if Platinum hadn't made a move at that time, Roy would have definitely died a terrible death. Mandra's stone spike nearly pierced his abdomen, and her rock shield could also protect her from Lapis Lazuli's close-range attacks, making her a troublesome opponent.

"Then please let me take two more days off."

"I'm afraid that won't work. You'll probably be even busier while I'm recovering."

"..."

Platinum thought to herself, "Then I might as well not save you. I can just go up and become a Blue Gold, with a higher salary, and I can also bully the next Platinum."

"Besides, we don't get to decide what holidays are like. To put it bluntly, we're all working for others."

"Then you should continue to rest. I'm going to carry out my mission."

She got up and went outside. Bai Jin went straight to the hospital rooftop. The air was very refreshing after the rain. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the starry sky and the bright moon. She leaned against the railing and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Platinum smokes. He was a trainee in the Knights of the Moon for two and a half months. He would try a little when he was under a lot of pressure, but he stopped after that because he joined the Unarmored Alliance and learned to live each day as if it were his last.

Many people say that the Unarmored Alliance is a sword hanging over the heads of the competitive knights, and if anyone harbors any ill intentions, this sword will not hesitate to stab them.

But Platinum also knew that this sword would be aimed at her as well. Platinum was dispensable, unlike Azure Gold, and could not be compared with Black Iron. She used to think that she was a person with some ability in Kazimierz, but it was not until she met Mei Xue that she realized what it meant to be capable.

The little fox's statement, "It was just good luck," was not a humble remark or a cover-up, but the truth, an indisputable truth.

Platinum has already checked. Those Unarmored Assassins disguised as passersby were not killed by external forces. Three died from poison they bit into due to excessive tension, one died from a heart attack, and four died from stabbing themselves after falling down.

Yes, it's that simple. It wasn't that Mei Xue did anything wrong; they were just unlucky. The directors were the same; they were just unlucky.

"Xuan Tie probably realized something was wrong, which is why he did this..."

Seeing the message "contact target" on her communicator, Bai Jin guessed that they had taken into account her acquaintance with Mei Xue and hoped that she would investigate the matter behind it all.

But even if they find out, so what? Even if she, Hinterlea, says that Mei Xue was just lucky, who would believe her?

However, she couldn't neglect her work. After hesitating for a while, Bai Jin decided to go find Mei Xue. In any case, the falling out between the Business Federation and the Unarmored Alliance had nothing to do with her, Xintleya.

In the hotel on the other side, Li sat on the bed holding a cake, while Mei Xue sat at the table doing her homework, her little fox tail wagging as she kept writing.

"Does Mei Xue have a lot of homework?"

Li brought the cake to Mei Xue's side, took a bite, and curiously watched the little fox write and draw. She didn't recognize the Great Yan script, so she couldn't understand what Mei Xue was writing.

"Not too much, mostly just copying books and writing diaries."

"I see."

Suppressing the urge to stroke its tail, Gravel's gaze turned to the umbrella that Mei Xue had placed by the wall. The Wu Zhou Alliance's actions today were too swift; the Supervisory Council hadn't had time to react at all. But no one expected that this umbrella could so easily withstand Qingjin's arrow.

"Sister Li, do you know where Sister Ghost Shark and Sister Lin Qingyan went?"

"I don't know about this older sister."

(I can't exactly say they almost killed Viviana, can I?)

Li muttered to himself, after learning that Mei Xue and Viviana already had a marriage certificate, Lin Qingyan and Ghost Shark rushed to Viviana's castle immediately. They first beat up all the guards and watchers around them without saying a word, and then started fighting with Viviana.

As the fight progressed, it's unclear what conflict arose between Ghost Shark and Lin Qingyan, but they started fighting again. In any case, the scene was chaotic, with thunderclaps and only ruins remaining.

As for the outcome? All three are currently in the hospital. Viviana is no match for either Ghost Shark or Lin Qingyan, while Lin Qingyan, who has obtained Su Xueer's memories and is also an outstanding successor of the Celestial Master's Mansion, can at least put up a fight with Ghost Shark, the Deep Sea Hunter.

However, all three of them knew that if this matter reached Mei Xue's ears, the little fox's mood would definitely not be good, and it would also affect her image.

This is why only Mei Xue and Li are together tonight. Looking at this cute little fox, Li's playful side is awakened, but what happened earlier really gave her a fright.

Although Mei Xue never laid a hand on anyone himself, unknowingly all those who harbored ill will towards him met with bad ends.

Based on Li's observation, she didn't think Mei Xue's innocence and naivety were an act. There must be another person behind it all, such as the mysterious figure who seriously injured Qing Jin today. Perhaps that person was the one behind it all.

"sneeze!"

Mandra, huddled in the cat's nest, suddenly felt a tickle in her nose. She regretted not being able to kill Roy today. If she had known someone would come to her aid, she wouldn't have played the cat-and-mouse game. But since Roy dared to lay a hand on Mei Xue, he wouldn't live much longer.

"Does Mei Xue like keeping cats?"

"I like cute animals, Originium Bugs are fine too."

On Rhodes Island, some people raise Originium Bugs. Little Fox often sees various cute little animals in the greenhouse, such as Adele, or Eyjafjalla's little sheep, or the cats kept by Bo Lv and Mousse.

"Do you like someone who isn't cute, like... someone like me?"

Li smiled and gently hugged Mei Xue's tail. If it weren't for Mei Xue's sake, the little cat Mandra would have made her lose her life.

"My older sister is cute too."

Mei Xue, completely unaware of what she was thinking, continued to finish her homework under Li's skeptical gaze.

The little fox hugged its tail and added a sentence at the end of its diary: "I miss Sister Talulah today too."

If you flip back further, you'll find that every single one of his diaries ends with this sentence.

Chapter 317 Plum Blossom's Midnight Raid

“Talulah…yes, she’s a red dragon too, but she’s even more hateful than Aslan!”

At the Deep Pool headquarters, Abrahina tossed Talulah's information onto the table, seemingly uninterested in this member of her race. On the contrary, her younger sister Raphsini seemed curious, considering she had always thought that only she and her sister remained in the Drak.

“Chief, but we must be careful. She is, after all, Drak. If that Grand Duke wants to use this to cause trouble prematurely, we'll be in trouble…”

As one of the most outstanding members of Deeppool's think tank, Ahmoni's advice was indeed in line with her personality; Abrahana should not underestimate the enemy simply because she looked down on them.

"Everyone knows that the leader of the Reunion Movement is Drak, and I think some people are probably already planning to contact her."

“What you say makes sense, but currently some of our forces are tied up by Ursus, which makes it somewhat inconvenient for us to move around.”

Abrahana also found it strange that Victoria and Ursus suddenly started fighting. One side said the other side attacked first, while the other side said it was Victoria who attacked first. There were different versions of events, but no one had time to verify them. Ursus didn't need to verify them either; all they wanted was war.

"Then leave this matter to me, Chief."

Ahmoni volunteered, her face bearing her usual cunning, fox-like smile. She was exceptionally capable and loyal, yet also harbored her own hidden agendas. In Abrahana's eyes, she was the easiest person to control, but also the most dangerous.

But she didn't know that Ahmoni was thinking about something else entirely. Of course, she knew the truth behind the war between Ursus and Victoria. Rusthammer had disguised itself as the Victorian and Ursus armies, launching attacks on both sides and then quickly retreating. This was the apparent cause of the war.

Victoria and Ursus, however, did not suspect Rusthammer, because this organization belonged to the Wildlands. How could they know that Rusthammer would listen to Mei Xue and the Doctor's arrangements? Heh, when Ahmoni learned that Mandra and Raphsini were going to intercept Mei Xue, she wanted to see them one last time. She never expected that Raphsini would come back alive.

Ahmonie knew all this, but she wouldn't say anything. After all, it wasn't time for the Deeppool to be destroyed yet. In the Doctor's plan, the Deeppool still had other responsibilities to bear.

As for Ursus on the other side, Talulah is indeed a leader worth serving, but she will definitely not return to Victoria, so no matter what the Grand Duke does, it will be useless.

"The snowstorm came earlier than usual this year, but it wasn't as intense."

Herag picked up his teacup and took a sip. The Patriot sitting opposite him was still hesitating, but after thinking for a moment, he picked up four cards and threw them on the table.

"Yes, three with one."

"The snow will cover the ground this year, and everyone will have a good harvest next spring."

A handsome blond Kuranta man stepped out of the KKK6, bigger than Patriot's JJJ7. He looked younger than Herag and the others, but was nearing middle age, and his aura was in no way inferior to anyone else's.

If Marna and Margaret were here, they would surely recognize him: Snitz Nearl, the former head of the Nearl family in Kazimierz, Marna's elder brother, and the biological father of Margaret and Maria. He was a legend in Kazimierz and once the most renowned Nearl.

"Ursus is currently entangled with Victoria, and we have enough time to stabilize the situation."

The Reunion Movement's operations are progressing smoothly. Ursus is now unable to fully suppress them, and they can achieve basic self-sufficiency. The first batch of drugs from the factory has been officially put into use, and even those infected who originally had no hope for life are no longer pessimistic.

In addition, those captured cities need to be put into operation immediately after they are stabilized. The Eighth Army is a tough nut to crack. The Reunification Movement itself has also suffered some losses. Fortunately, Victoria has drawn the attention of Ursus, otherwise a large-scale relocation would have been necessary at this time.

"Yes, let the soldiers participate in farming and help repair houses. Strengthening ties with the people is never a bad thing."

"That's to be expected, it's a royal flush, I only have one card left."

The group chatted while playing cards, while Talulah looked at the letter in her hand and couldn't help but smile. Alina, who was making new clothes for Meixue, was puzzled as to why Talulah was suddenly so happy.

"What's wrong? Did Mei Xue send this letter?"

"If that were the case, I'd be so happy I couldn't sleep."

Talulah shook her head. She always read Mei Xue's letters in private, otherwise what if the little fox accidentally wrote something embarrassing?

"Then why are you laughing so happily?"

"Because this letter came from Victoria, or more precisely, from the Duke of Normandy."
