Talulah, I'm still a child.

"One of the Grand Dukes of Victoria, he wrote to you?"

Alina has now made more contact with various countries in Terra and has gained an understanding of the situation and important figures among them, including several dukes of Victoria.

It is said that the major dukes have long been dissatisfied with Theresis's occupation of Londinium, and now they are planning to start a war directly. However, the friction with Ursus has caused some trouble, and both the Sarkaz and the Grand Dukes' forces have been partially tied down.

"Yes, he knows I am Draco and hopes to use my name to launch an attack on Lontinem, and he promises to make me the new king of Victoria."

"He makes it sound nice, but he probably just wants to find an excuse that no one can refute to seize power."

It's no secret that Talulah, the leader of the Reunion Movement, is from Drak. Logically, she does have a right to inherit the throne of Victoria. But more importantly, she is also an Infected. Alina doesn't think these people will just stand by and watch Talulah ascend the throne.

Besides, even if they were willing, Talulah wouldn't allow it; she mostly looked down on kings and generals.

"They were probably provoked by the pressure from the Iron Duke, Deeppool, huh... I heard they have two red dragons."

The Reunion Movement now has informants in neighboring countries, and many infected people have voluntarily chosen to join and are willing to provide intelligence to the Reunion Movement. There are Reunion Movement members inside Deeppool, so they naturally know these secrets.

"A distant cousin of yours?"

"I can't kiss them. They probably want me dead more than anyone else. Alina, you probably don't know, but Draco has always been divided into two factions, each believing the other to be evil. Hmm, I can tell you this story another day."

Talulah also knew a little about Victoria and Draco's past. At the very least, she could ask Black Serpent. It was a waste for that guy to stay on Rhodes Island. He should be brought back as an advisor as compensation for tormenting her for so many years.

"So, does that mean the Iron Duke will launch an attack under the pretext of upholding legitimacy?"

“It’s not just probably, it’s certain. He has probably already sworn allegiance. Whether it’s genuine or not, how could Deeppool have been able to develop in Victoria for so long without being discovered? How could it not have the Grand Duke’s support behind it?”

Talulah tossed the letter onto the table, not intending to get involved in this mess. The Reunion Movement alone was enough to keep her from worrying about anything else, and eliminating prejudice and discrimination against infected people by ordinary people was truly not easy.

"It seems Victoria is about to descend into chaos as well."

"Terra has never been peaceful; it's beset by internal and external troubles."

Talulah rubbed her temples. She had never noticed before that, apart from Laterano, Sami, and Da Yan, there seemed to be no peaceful place in the entire Terra. It was either a place of war or a place of preparation for war.

Oh, and there's Sherag, but that place is too small to be worth paying attention to. Nobody has even considered it until now. It's underdeveloped and doesn't have any mineral resources. If a large Originium mine were to appear, Columbia would probably be in a panic.

"Don't overthink it. Stay focused on your goals and seize the moment. That's what you said before, so don't make me remind you."

"Yes, yes, yes~ My dear Commissar Alina~ You should go to sleep now, it's so late."

Talulah smiled and prepared to go to sleep. She had finally finished her busy work these past few days and had developed dark circles under her eyes from staying up late. Frostnova, Alina, and the others were in the same boat.

Fortunately, the Reunion Movement has many capable people who greatly share the pressure. Talulah also began to learn from Alina and others' advice to focus only on key moments and the overall direction, and handle some official business at other times. If she had to personally oversee everything and go to the battlefield, her body would eventually give out.

"Tsk, you find me annoying? We used to share a room, but ever since Meixue came along, you've treated me like an outsider."

"Tch, you're the one talking. If Mei Xue were here, would you let me sleep in the same room as you?"

Talulah rolled her eyes in annoyance, while Alina smiled gently as always.

"Of course I'd be happy to, everyone knows he's clingy to you."

As she spoke, Alina put away the clothes she had just finished, then changed her clothes and ran to Talulah's bed to lie down, regardless of the fact that it was still freezing cold.

"Let's sleep together tonight, it's warmer here."

"Alright, alright."

Since they were best friends anyway, Talulah didn't have much to say. She snapped her fingers to turn off the lights, then changed into her nightgown and crawled into bed. The bed, which was a bit cold at first, quickly warmed up. Draco's ability was incredibly comfortable to use in this situation.

They didn't say anything more, as they were both exhausted. After saying goodnight to each other, they closed their eyes.

Late at night, the bright moonlight shone on the snow, making it sparkle. Talulah and Alina slept soundly, unaware of the white figure in the room. Looking at the two lying on the bed, Mei Xue knew she was late.

After finishing her diary entry that night, Mei Xue missed Talulah again. In fact, the first thing Mei Xue thought of after mastering the ability to teleport was to find Talulah. However, Gravel and Specter were always by her side these days, and the little fox couldn't get away. It wasn't until she fell asleep just now and Gravel left her room that she had some free time.

"My sister's sleeping posture is still so bad."

The little fox wagged his tail and gently covered Talulah and Alina with their blankets. He didn't want to wake them; he could tell they were both very tired.

Although it was night, Mei Xue could still see the situation inside the house clearly. The little fox hugged its tail and, recalling the year it spent living in the Reunion Movement, couldn't help but show a happy smile, but unfortunately no one saw it.

Even though she was already the leader of the Reunion Movement, Talulah's residence was still a small room, with everything piled up there, just like everyone else's. Mei Xue helped her tidy up the documents and other things on the table, and then took out the souvenirs she had bought in Kazimierz from her tail and placed them on the table.

Having done all that, Mei Xue, the little fox, waited for her teleportation cooldown to finish while lying by the bed looking at Talulah's face.

If it were anyone else, even just stepping into this room would alert Talulah, but Mei Xue is different. The little fox is always the person Talulah dotes on and loves the most. She instinctively regards Mei Xue as the person she trusts the most, so even if the little fox reaches out and pokes her face, Talulah will not believe it.

Of course, being a good boy, Mei Xue wouldn't do such a thing. He just gently wagged his tail, smiled, and lightly touched Talulah and Alina's lips respectively before disappearing from the room.

However, since she had come all this way, how could it be just for something like this? Mei Xue even went to find Shuang Xing, but she was asleep, so the little fox kissed her and left her a gift as well.

Mei Xue secretly left a copy for everyone in the Reunion Movement who she knew. Of course, replenishing supplies was also essential. Mei Xue quietly went to the medical department's supply warehouse and kept taking out various medicines and medical supplies from her tail. From the most commonly used gauze and disinfectant to Rhodes Island's latest Oripathy inhibitor, it was practically everything she could need.

As for the granary? That's the first place to be filled. Eating is the most important thing in the world, right? Mei Xue hummed a song as she put things away.

"It's her! It's her, it's him! Mei Xue's sister! Talulah!"

"You sang very well."

"Of course, hey, thanks for the compliment...?!!"

The little fox suddenly realized it had been discovered, and hurriedly put down what it was holding. Just as it was about to run away, someone grabbed its waist and lifted it up.

"Tsk tsk, sneaking into our Reunion Movement's warehouse in the middle of the night, are you a spy from Ursus?"

"I didn't do it! I didn't!"

Mei Xue's reaction was quite intense. In his panic, he even forgot that he could teleport. However, after being held in the other person's arms, he realized that it was an acquaintance.

"Sister Aya!"

"No, it's your sister Lilia!"

Looking at the little fox she hadn't seen for many years in her arms, Lilia couldn't suppress her longing and kissed Meixue on the lips, then clicked her tongue.

"You have three different lipstick scents? You're quite the lucky one."

"Aren't you Aya-neechan?"

“I am her mother.”

"Then should I call you Aunt Lilia?"

Lilia pinched him a little, annoyed by Mei Xue's nickname, but before she could say anything, Mei Xue had already disappeared. The little fox was always very fast at running away.

Lilia shook her head helplessly as she glanced at the supplies that filled the entire warehouse.

"What a nemesis."

Chapter 318 Mei Xue really can't control the weather

"She's sleeping so soundly~"

Early in the morning, Talulah got up and stretched. Just as she was about to change her clothes, she noticed that her room was arranged differently than yesterday. The messy table was now neatly organized, and her disheveled clothes had been replaced with new ones.

Not only that, there was also a brand new small desk lamp and a pendant on the table.

"Someone came last night, how could I not have noticed?"

Talulah scratched her head. She was always vigilant and never truly relaxed even when she was asleep, otherwise she would have died countless times by now. But last night, she didn't react at all.

"Hmm, Mei Xue came by?"

Alina looked around and immediately understood what was going on.

"How did you know it was Mei Xue? No, he's here!?"

"Isn't it easy to guess?"

Seeing Talulah's eagerness to rush out and find the little fox, Alina slowly changed her clothes. Pointing to the small basket where she had kept her clothes, which was now empty, Mei Xue had left a note: "The clothes are beautiful, thank you, Alina-jie (/≧▽≦)/

Furthermore, the level of trust that allowed Talulah to instinctively not suspect him was something Alina felt she lacked compared to Talulah; after much thought, she realized there was only one such person left in all of Terra.

"Then I'll go find him right now!"

"You probably won't find her. I don't think Mei Xue is here either."

Alina shook her head, picked up the snack the little fox had left on the table, took a small bite, and murmured, "Mmm, it tastes good."

"...Okay, it seems that's really the case."

Talulah realized that if Mei Xue were really here, she should have seen her when she woke up this morning. The little fox would definitely be waiting by her bedside for her to wake up. But why wouldn't he wake her up last night? She hadn't seen Mei Xue for a long time and missed him terribly.

But how did the little fox manage to appear here so quietly? Could it be some new ability?

Alina and Talulah suddenly realized that they weren't very surprised that Mei Xue had suddenly appeared in the Reunion Movement. Rather, they didn't feel anything, except that they regretted not being able to get close to the little fox.

After all, Mei Xue's ability to put things in her tail has been recognized as a space-type Originium Arts, so it's not incomprehensible that it could appear in other places.

You'll sleep alone tonight.

As if she had thought of something, Talulah smiled and said this to Alina. How could the latter not understand what this guy was planning? But there was nothing she could do. If Mei Xue really had this kind of ability similar to teleportation, then who would he go to first?

Before Alina and Talulah could say anything, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Chief! Chief, something terrible has happened... No, it seems like a good thing, oh dear, Chief! Something strange has occurred!"

Having changed her clothes, Talulah opened the door and looked at Gummy standing there. This child was one of Chernobog's students. Talulah's expression was very gentle, giving people an indescribable warmth.

"Here's the thing, we checked our supplies this morning and found that the supplies that were originally only enough for three cities to last until spring have increased several times over. They can last for another year without any problem, but everyone thinks this is very strange, so I came to you."

"Yes, I understand. Tell everyone not to panic. This was my arrangement. Also, notify the heads of each department to hold a general meeting."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing that it was Talulah who arranged it, Gummy was incredibly excited. Before, everyone was discussing how to conserve resources. After all, the Reunion Movement is now large and powerful, but still unstable. They had already decided to prioritize supplying resources to civilians. Now, there's no need to worry about that anymore. The leader is truly amazing.

"It seems Mei Xue was quite tired last night too."

"He's become much more capable; before, he would get sleepy after filling up three warehouses at most."

"But I still feel sorry for her."

Having enough supplies to get through the difficult period ahead is certainly a good thing, but Talulah also knows that it's fine for Mei Xue to take out a little food and toys on a regular basis, but if she takes out too much, it will inevitably take a toll on her spirit.

Talulah was thinking this, while Meixue on the other side was also yawning. This was not because the little fox had overslept last night, but actually just because she was sleepy due to poor sleep schedule.

Even without anyone else saying it, Mei Xue knew that he was probably a very powerful little fox now. He had filled all of Reunion's warehouses to the brim last night, but he didn't feel tired at all.

I got back late and couldn't fall asleep. Luckily, no one found out that I had left without permission, otherwise Sister Lin Qingyan would definitely be angry.

"What's wrong? Do you want to lean on my shoulder for a bit?"

Seeing that Mei Xue looked like she hadn't woken up yet, Li wondered if the little fox was just sleepy because she was young, or if the little rascal had done something again last night. Nowadays, everyone in the Business Federation was on edge, and anyone who couldn't see that those strange events were related to this little fox was truly blind.
