Talulah, I'm still a child.

Ghost Shark's words carried a hidden meaning, and her breath smelled sweet. Mei Xue nuzzled her cheek, knowing that her sister was about to do something inappropriate again, and gently tapped her head in annoyance.

"Why are you knocking on me? I really just wanted to teach you how to swim, or has our little Mei Xue thought of something else?"

"I'm not young!"

Seeing that Mei Xue was a little unhappy about being teased, Ghost Shark quickly comforted her, patting her head and pinching her fox ears.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed not small, otherwise I wouldn't have been tortured so badly."

"Don't speak recklessly!"

Amaya irritably pulled Mei Xue out of Ghost Shark's arms. She knew Ghost Shark had succeeded in getting what he wanted, and she had long disliked him. She was the one who arrived first, and if she hadn't been away from Mei Xue, Ghost Shark wouldn't have had the chance to overtake her.

"Tch, you two really don't understand romance."

"Climb, climb, climb, you flirtatious bastard."

Although they are not as hostile towards each other because of Mei Xue, the grudge between Ghost Shark and Amaya still exists, and they will fight sooner or later.

Gatanothor remained quiet throughout, but her mind was in turmoil. She was usually fierce and had many ideas, but when she actually saw Mei Xue, she couldn't bring herself to say any of them. She couldn't very well carry Mei Xue back to her bedroom.

"What's wrong, Gatan? He hasn't said much."

"It's nothing, I just don't know how... um, how to express my feelings."

Knowing only herself what was going on, Gatanjee couldn't immediately find the same calm and natural way to get along with Mei Xue as Amaya did, even as her sisters argued heatedly in their online world.

What kind of feelings are behind this?

Meixue wagged her tail and jumped out of Amaya's arms, gently taking Gatanjee's hand.

"Probably... when my owner holds my hand, it feels very hot."

Gatanjee wanted to jump into the water with Mei Xue right now, but she didn't dare to do it in front of Amaya, as she couldn't beat her older sister.

"Then I'll let go?"

"No, trending topics are fine too."

Gatanjee quickly scooped Mei Xue up in his arms and legs. The little fox smelled of lotus flowers today, a scent that was comforting and even made him a little sleepy.

Mei Xue glanced at the direction of the gate; Lin Qingyan had not yet returned.

Maria and Zofia were very welcoming to their guest, and of course, they were even more welcoming to Mei Xue. The little fox's cooking skills were truly impeccable. After learning that he had moved in, Zofia also moved in, ostensibly to "supervise" and prevent anything bad from happening.

Mei Xue didn't know what it was about, but Maria immediately understood her aunt's intention. She admitted that Mei Xue, her brother-in-law, suited her very well, but Mei Xue was still her brother-in-law after all. Her dependence on Mei Xue stemmed from her trust in Margaret. Of course, she also had some good feelings for him now. Well, they were all friends.

"Why is it thundering all of a sudden?"

Zofia was a little confused. Maria was going to face the Rusty Bronze Knight tomorrow, and she was thinking of giving the girl extra training. Now it seemed that she would have to put that on hold for the time being.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily."

Maria wiped her mouth and then planned to go find Mei Xue to ask if he wanted to go watch the game tomorrow. Of course, she wasn't going to tag along with him.

A fierce wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and heavy rain fell at night. Miss Platinum frowned as she looked at the communicator in her hand. She hadn't expected Lin Qingyan to make a move during the meeting, injuring the Grand Knight Commander and seriously injuring Qingjin Monique. Xuan Tie's sudden arrow had only caused her minor injuries.

Are all the people of the Great Yan Dynasty this ruthless?

Miss Platinum frowned. Putting aside Ghost Shark, Lin Qingyan's strength was beyond expectations, and what she didn't expect was that she would take action so decisively.

"This is troublesome."

Whether Kazimir confronts Da Yan over this matter or Da Yan holds Kazimir accountable for Mei Xue's assassination attempt, the impact will not be limited to a small area.

Moreover, judging from Lin Qingyan's attitude, she probably didn't intend to make peace at all. The fact that the board representative was struck dead by lightning was her stance. Even if this was Kazimierz, the territory of the Supervisory Council and the Business Federation, Lin Qingyan was still willing to take action.

Unless both sides try to suppress the issue, there will be big news tomorrow.

"Seriously, how did things get to this point so inexplicably?"

It's a headache, but Platinum probably has an even bigger headache for the board of directors of the Business Federation. Lin Qingyan's attitude is already very clear. The Business Federation's previous actions have completely offended her. Even Qingjin Xuantie and the Grand Knight Commander are no match for Lin Qingyan. Why should Platinum keep her around to risk her life? She should find a time to pack up and run away.

As for the location to escape to, it has been chosen: Da Yan. Now that Kazimierz has fallen out with Da Yan, the Wuzhou Alliance can't reach there.

Meanwhile, on Kazimierz Street, Eureka was almost in tears. How could she be so unlucky? She had thought that coming here to report on the Knights' Tournament was a good choice, and if she did well, she could get promoted. But then she inexplicably encountered a fight between fans of the Candle Knight and the Nightmare Knight, which damaged her equipment.

"Sigh, now I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my job, let alone get a promotion."

This is Eureka's third job, and she knew she wouldn't stay here for long; the nickname "accident queen" wasn't given lightly.

"Oh, sister, I see your face is dark, your head is covered with clouds, and you look worried. You must be having a run of bad luck!"

A strangely dressed Great Flame man approached, and after looking at it for a while, took out a wooden carving from his pocket.

"Join our Fox Fairy Cult!"

Chapter 332 Let's Go Home

"It's raining so hard outside."

Maria was grooming her tail. The weather in Kazimierz had been so abnormal lately, with heavy snow one minute and heavy rain the next, which made her feel uneasy and gave her a bad feeling.

"The weather this year is really unusual."

Zofia nodded, then glanced at Gatanothor and Amaya, who looked utterly dejected. She wondered where these two had come from. They seemed to be friends with Mei Xue, but their relationship was more than just friendship. Amaya didn't think that ordinary friends would knock on the bathroom door and ask to come in and shower together.

"Wait, where's Mei Xueren?"

Thinking about this, Zofia realized that the little fox had been missing for a while. Logically, Mei Xue should be watching TV with everyone at this time.

"She seemed very sleepy, and then she fell asleep."

Gatanothor and Amaya weren't surprised at all. They had planned to sleep together with Mei Xue earlier, but the little fox wouldn't allow it, which was why they were disappointed. Besides, even if they couldn't sleep together, it would be nice to have the little fox help scrub their backs while they took a bath.

Meanwhile, in Mei Xue's bedroom, amidst the thunder and rain outside, Mei Xue curled up in bed, hugging her tail, sleeping soundly and peacefully, lost in her own dreams.

"Mei, wait for me to come back."

"it is good."

There was no need to ask what her sister was doing or where she was going. She could just sit and wait for her to come back. Young Mei Xue sat under the plum tree, holding the red umbrella her sister had given her and looking into the distance.

This is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. Every time my sister goes out and comes back, she always has injuries on her body. She will laugh and say that they are just minor problems, saying that she has beaten up so-and-so, such as Sui, or Nine-Colored Deer.

Anyway, it seems that almost everyone Mei Xue could name had been beaten up by her older sister Su Xue'er, for periods ranging from three to five days to more than ten years. Although Mei Xue didn't know what could possibly make her sister spend more than ten years doing something, it all passed in the blink of an eye, so there was nothing to care about.

But for some reason, this time, watching Su Xue'er's departing figure, Mei Xue felt an indescribable panic. Before he could even call out, Su Xue'er had already disappeared.

"Never mind, let's just wait here for my sister to come back."

It must just be an illusion. With her sister's abilities, nothing could have happened to her. Mei Xue thought to himself, hugging his tail as he continued to sleep. Most of the time, he would wake up to see Su Xue'er after a good night's sleep.

But when she first opened her eyes, it was spring fifteen years later. She didn't see her sister's tail in front of her, nor did she smell the fragrance of orchids on her body, nor did she hear her voice. So she fell asleep a second time, and when she woke up, it was autumn eighteen years later. Her sister hadn't returned. When she fell asleep a third time, twenty years had passed. When she woke up, snowflakes were falling everywhere, and plum blossoms were blooming overhead. She still hadn't waited. The fourth time, the fifth time...

She slept longer and longer, until sixty years had passed in a dream, and Su Xue'er still hadn't returned. Somewhat disappointed, she closed her eyes and decided to continue sleeping, thinking that she would see her sister when she woke up next time.

No, I can't sleep. I should go find my sister.

Startled awake, Mei Xue looked out the window at the relentless rain. There was no one beside him. He should listen to his sister and wait for her to come back, but Mei Xue was also afraid that he would never see her again. It felt like he had been waiting for a very long time.

Ignoring the wind and rain, Mei Xue pushed open the window, opened her umbrella, and jumped out of the bedroom. She landed gently on the ground like a plum blossom falling from a tree branch, without even splashing a drop of water.

A voice inside him told him that he couldn't wait; he had to go and find his sister.

It was raining at night, and it was very cold. The city's neon lights looked even more mesmerizing and colorful under the reflection of the rain. Lin Qingyan walked down the street wearing a hood, and the rain would occasionally patter on his face, making him feel a little cold.

He couldn't help himself and got into a fight with someone. He inherited Su Xue'er's memories and pride, and also her fiery temper. When he learned that Mei Xue had been assassinated, Lin Qingyan almost stormed into the Business Federation building and demolished it.

Anyone from Rhodes Island would be furious about this, let alone Lin Qingyan, who inherited Su Xue'er's mantle.

"Sigh, this is really troublesome... I need to let the Great Yan side know."

This incident has caused quite a stir. She accidentally killed a director of a business association and even beat up their Grand Knight Commander. Originally, Qingjin was not a problem at all, but unexpectedly, Xuan Tie appeared, causing her to bleed and have bruises on her face.

As for sending a greeting, it wasn't out of concern for Da Yan's wrath, but simply to let them prepare to take action against Kazimir. Da Yan has always had only one principle regarding everything related to Mei Xue: unwavering protection! Protect the best Mei Xue in the world! Anyone who dares to touch my little ancestor, I'll wipe out their entire family!

If the Great Yan knew that Kazimir dared to harbor murderous intent towards Mei Xue and even take action because of Viviana's incident, the most hot-tempered generals would not tolerate it, not to mention the group of Sirens who regarded Mei Xue as their faith.

However, if things continue at this pace, Kazimierz will most likely follow Ursus's old path. Right now, ninety percent of Terra's fortune is in Mei Xue's hands, so offending him is like going against all of Terra.

"Phew...tsk, I need to take a shower and get some rest when I get back."

With Amaya and Specter around, even if the entire Grand Knight Territory were to be mobilized, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Mei Xue. The safety of the Nearl family would also be guaranteed. After this matter is over, they can take Mei Xue with them and wait for Rhodes Island or news from Great Yan before making any further decisions.

The rain was quite heavy. To avoid having her injuries discovered, Lin Qingyan took a quiet path in the park and tried to avoid crowded streets. Luckily, she was wearing the robe of the Inspectorate, otherwise the rain would have been even more uncomfortable. She didn't have Mei Xue's body, which was free from dust and illness.

As soon as he heard a "ding-a-ling" sound, Lin Qingyan instinctively stopped and looked up.

A slightly large red oil-paper umbrella shielded him from all the wind and rain, and a street lamp illuminated the person under the umbrella. Mei Xue's tail swayed slightly, and the golden bell on her neck reflected a bit of golden light. For a moment, Lin Qingyan thought she was wearing a white robe.

Mei Xue walked over with a concerned look on her face, wading through the water. She could tell that Lin Qingyan was not in good condition; the blood on her face had congealed and could not be washed away by the rain.

The umbrella was tilted halfway to shield the beauty from the wind and rain. Mei Xue tiptoed and gently stroked Lin Qingyan's face, her eyes filled with uncontrollable heartache and resentment.

"Got into a fight again?"

These words stunned Lin Qingyan for a moment. After thinking for a while, her expression gradually softened, and she nodded in acknowledgment.

"I can't let them hurt my beloved younger brother."

"But I don't want anything to happen to my sister either."

The rain soaked Mei Xue's tail, which had just dried, and Mei Xue's deep blue eyes turned into a dazzling gold. It was as if he wasn't talking to Lin Qingyan, but rather looking at Su Xue'er from back then.

Back then, Su Xue'er was the same way. She would go out and come back covered in injuries, which made him worry about her constantly. He was afraid that something had happened to her, but he didn't dare to go looking for her, for fear that Su Xue'er wouldn't be able to find him when she came back.

"Why did you come looking for me?"

Mei Xue's condition was different from usual; she didn't seem to be awake. But Lin Qingyan felt that he had also changed, as if he had been possessed by Su Xue'er.

"I'm afraid you won't come back."

Mei Xue used to just wait because he listened to his sister the most. Su Xue'er would tell him to wait, so he would wait. But when he could no longer wait, he learned to take the initiative to look for her for the first time, but he could no longer find her.

"How could I not come back? Didn't I say that there is no separation between us, only death?"

Lin Qingyan took the umbrella from Mei Xue, then gently tilted it back, leaning against Mei Xue and letting the rain fall on her. There was no reason why; it was just a habit. She did what Su Xue'er had done back then.

Aren't you going to sleep?

"I can't sleep without my sister."

"Then I'll sleep with you and tell you stories."

(This could be considered a different form of sleepwalking, right?)
