Talulah, I'm still a child.

Seeing that Mei Xue's steps were lighter than usual, Lin Qingyan guessed that he was probably affected by the Tongtian Mirror. After entering the dream, he regained some of his memories, which affected his behavior. He actually came looking for her in a half-dream state.

"it is good."

Mei Xue hummed in agreement, then wagged her tail lightly. The rain suddenly stopped, but she still held up her umbrella to protect herself from the cold wind.

"Sister, I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep if you're tired, I'm right here beside you."

Lin Qingyan gently supported Mei Xue, feeling him suddenly fall into her arms. She couldn't help but feel a little heartache. One of them never forgot to look for his sister even in his dreams, and the other never forgot to protect his brother even in death. In the hearts of these two siblings, they would always reserve the most important place for each other.

Lin Qingyan folded up the umbrella and carried it on his back. He slowly walked back with Mei Xue in his arms. The originally biting cold wind suddenly stopped, as if afraid that Mei Xue would get cold, and all of it avoided Lin Qingyan.

That night, Mei Xue had a wonderful dream. He dreamt that he had finally found his sister, who hadn't returned home for thousands of years. He smiled slightly, feeling very happy.

"If Su Xue'er were still here, she would be very gratified."

After all, my younger brother, who has always waited for me to come home, has finally learned to come looking for me on his own initiative. This is something to be happy about, but I might also be a little angry because I'm worried that he might leave on his own and get into danger outside.

Concern can cloud judgment, and Su Xue'er always protected Mei Xue behind her back, even though Mei Xue was actually stronger than her. She felt that this was what an older sister should do.

The only person who could stay with her until the end was her younger brother, who wasn't related by blood. Su Xue'er's biggest fear was that he would leave her, and her love for Mei Xue was almost pathological.

But no one can deny her feelings. She cared about Mei Xue's safety more than anyone else, and even on her deathbed, she left behind many contingency plans to protect him.

"Um... Sister."

"I'm here, sweetie, let's go home."

Chapter 333 Plum Blossom That Never Grows Tall

"They didn't do anything at all. It seems Kazimierz is more sensible than I thought."

Lin Qingyan slept soundly without any dreams and rested very well. Her minor injuries from yesterday had mostly healed and no longer affected her mobility. However, she still didn't really want to get out of bed because Mei Xue in her arms was just too wonderful. The little fox actually took the initiative to hug her, and she was curled up in a ball, warm and smelling wonderful.

With Mei Xue by his side, Lin Qingyan felt he could sleep in that bed forever. Unfortunately, the little fox clearly didn't think so. Mei Xue slowly opened her eyes, groggily hugged Lin Qingyan and kissed her on the lips, then went out for a stroll in her thin pajamas, clearly still in a groggy morning state.

Now that Mei Xue was awake, Lin Qingyan had no reason to lie down any longer. She took out a mirror and looked at herself. The scars on her face had disappeared. This was one of the good things about inheriting Su Xue'er's part; otherwise, it would be difficult for her to discuss marriage with Mei Xue in the future.

"Master's bed, master's bed, hehehe..."

Gatanothor ran into Mei Xue's room with a silly grin. Although Mei Xue had stopped their plan to bathe together last night, and Amaya had ruined their nighttime raid plan, Gatanothor figured he could at least roll around on Mei Xue's sheets in the morning. That way, they could have some fruit together.

Then Gatanothor Loli saw Lin Qingyan on Mei Xue's bed and got furious.

"You shameless bastard!!!"

(How do you feel qualified to say that?)

Looking at Gatanothor, Lin Qingyan shook her head repeatedly. She could tell at a glance that Gatanothor's evolution was not complete, but just like the information given by the Great Yan side, its combat power was incredibly strong.

Outside, Maria had just gotten up. She had a match in the afternoon, so she needed to spend some time adjusting her equipment. With light armor and a sword and shield, defeating the Rust Bronze Knight wouldn't be a problem for her now.

Maria's main wish was for Mei Xue to watch her match as well. The little fox had been a huge help to her; otherwise, it would be another matter whether Zofia's training would have enabled her to defeat the Plastic Knight.

Just then, Maria saw Mei Xue walking towards her with light, unsteady steps, making one worry that he might fall to the ground at any moment.

"Hey, brother-in-law!"

"Hmm, why has Nearl gotten so small?"

Mei Xue, still feeling dazed, couldn't wake up without washing her face. The little fox merely glanced at her, mistaking her for Margaret. In reality, Mei Xue hadn't even realized where she was yet.

"Ah, I haven't changed."

Maria scratched her head. She looked a lot like Margaret when she was young, but she lacked the maturity and determination of Margaret and was more lively and active.

"It's clearly there."

Mei Xue swayed her tail and walked up to Maria. She stood on tiptoe and compared her height to Maria's. She was indeed shorter than Margaret Nearl in her memory.

The two were pressed together, and Maria couldn't help but smell the floral fragrance on Mei Xue's body. The little fox's body was so weak that Maria worried he might just collapse on her. Maria couldn't help but recall those romantic scenes from before, and she quickly shook her head.

"Sister Lin Guang, Mei Xue has gone to wash up first."

"what……"

Maria finally realized that Mei Xue had mistaken her for Margaret. Wait, did this little fox ever get so confused in the morning? She could mistake a person for someone else, how could she know her way around?

"Wait a minute, sister... cough cough, Mei Xue."

Since Mei Xue had mistaken someone else for someone else, Maria felt this was a good opportunity. She had always been curious about how her sister and Mei Xue had gotten along and what their relationship was like.

"What's wrong, Sister Lin Guang?"

"It's nothing, I just ran into you this morning and thought it would be nice to say hello."

As a girl who had never been in love, Maria didn't have many thoughts about love. She used to think that her brother-in-law would be an excellent knight, but Mei Xue was also quite nice.

"Say hello, well, I should say hello."

Mei Xue opened her eyes slightly. Rosemary had indeed said that if they met in the future and no one else was around, they should greet each other. The little fox yawned, gently placed her hand on Maria's shoulder, tried to stand on tiptoe, and then kissed Maria before Maria could react.

It was a deep kiss, sudden and unexpected. Maria's consciousness told her she should push Mei Xue away at this moment, but her body said: Why is it sweet? How strange, let's taste it again.

With her hands nowhere to go, Maria felt both happy and painful. Mei Xue tasted wonderful, but it was really hard to breathe. Her legs were so weak that she could only put her hands on Mei Xue's waist and hug her. But the little fox couldn't stand up either, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

"Phew~ I've finished saying hello~ Mei Xue is going to wash up now."

Wiping the water from the corner of her mouth, Mei Xue wagged her tail and continued slowly toward the bathroom of the Lin Guang family, leaving Maria looking dazed, almost in tears.

"So, this is how my brother-in-law and sister greet each other?"

A blush crept across Maria's face as she leaned against the wall to stand up, her legs still feeling a little weak. Although she knew that Mei Xue tasted sweet, she knew that her initiative and Mei Xue's initiative were two different things. To be fair, the taste was indeed good, but now she felt even more guilty towards her sister. Sigh, she hoped that her brother-in-law wouldn't remember this later and wouldn't tell her sister.

However, the shame in her heart couldn't be erased. Maria secretly blamed herself, thinking that she shouldn't have stopped Mei Xue earlier. She shouldn't have broken up her sister's love. But her brother-in-law was really great. No, that's not it.

Maria suppressed the sudden voice in her mind and pretended not to hear it. She subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, and then her lips turned even redder after she realized what was happening.

"But I only tasted a little last time, I didn't expect it to be so soft... Wait, Maria, what are you thinking?"

"What software?"

Zofia suddenly jumped out from behind, startling Maria so much that she almost crashed into the wall. Her legs were still weak when she let go, and she fell to the ground again.

"Auntie, it's scary to jump out like that!"

"I didn't jump out. I've been watching you for a while now. Why were you lying on the ground just now?"

"Ah... I, I accidentally fell."

Thinking that it was good that she hadn't seen it, Maria got up and dusted herself off. Mei Xue's kiss had been too much for a young girl like her; she really couldn't resist. But if Zofia found out, she would probably beat her to death.

"Really?"

"Really, really, I'm going to adjust my equipment."

Fearing that her secret would be exposed, Maria quickly left; she was on her way to adjust her equipment anyway.

Zofia looked at her back suspiciously. Maria's face was so red that it was as if she had a fever. How could it be that she had just fallen? It was obvious that she was hiding something from her.

There aren't many things that can make Maria blush with embarrassment; it's probably Mei Xue again! Zofia guessed correctly this time; she must have missed something!

But what's done is done, and there's no way to go find Mei Xue now. After washing up in the bathroom, the little fox finally realized what she had just done, and then... then she just went about her business. Anyway, Maria had already kissed her before, so there was nothing strange about it.

Mei Xue's values ​​had long been distorted by those people from Rhodes Island, and her sense of shame was quite different from others.

"Gurgle, gurgle, ptooey!"

She spat out the mouthwash, wiped her face, then took out a comb to groom her tail fur. After looking around and seeing no one else, Mei Xue shook her fox ears, took out a measuring tape from her tail, stepped on one end with her toes, and stretched it out to compare... Well, today is another day she hasn't grown taller.

Her ears and tail drooped because of her disappointment. She had thought on a whim that she should have grown taller after so much time had passed, but there was no change at all. Damn it, Mei Xue clearly remembered that Sister Nian and the others said that when she had six tails, she was a medium-sized fox with a height of 1.55 meters.

When Zofia gently pushed open the door, she saw Mei Xue holding a measuring tape, looking dejected and utterly hopeless.

Because she had just woken up, Mei Xue was dressed in a way that made people want to drool. A long shirt covered everything, but her smooth, delicate feet and half of her thighs were exposed. They were wet and looked strangely tempting to lick. Zofia subconsciously swallowed and then wanted to slap herself. What the hell was she thinking? This was her niece's man!

"Meixue, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, Zofia, I haven't grown any taller."

The little fox looked so pitiful, it was worrying that she might burst into tears at any moment. Zofia felt a pang of heartache for no reason, but she never expected it was because of this.

"It's just height; he'll grow taller eventually."

"But I'm hundreds of thousands of years old, and I'm still not over 1.5 meters tall."

Mei Xue's words left Zofia speechless. Judging by her appearance and personality alone, no one would think Mei Xue was hundreds of thousands of years old. Come to think of it, hadn't she grown taller in all that time? Suddenly, Zofia felt that Mei Xue was quite cute... no, cough cough, more like pitiful.

The age of several hundred thousand years is just an estimate. In reality, Mei Xue doesn't know how old she is. The little fox is quite resentful about her height. It's not that anyone is urging her to grow taller, but it feels strange that she can only be held by someone every time.

"Then eat properly. Go change your clothes first; it's too cold dressed like this."

"Oh."

Now that she had finished washing up, it was indeed time to change her clothes. Mei Xue went behind the curtain, took out her clothes, and changed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zofia finally managed to make her nose bleed. The pitiful Mei Xue from before was a killer move for an aunt like her, the kind that makes her want to protect her. She even forgot that she had originally planned to ask Mei Xue if anything had happened between her and Maria.

"Meixue, I'm going to eat first, hurry up and come too."

After wiping the blood from her nose, Zofia felt it was dangerous to stay any longer and decisively chose to leave.

In a hotel room on the other side, Eureka, who had joined the Fox Fairy Cult in a daze, couldn't help but be wary of the people in front of her. If it weren't for her terrible luck, she would never have joined such a strange-looking organization.

"Let's welcome our new member, but before that, please welcome the fox spirit!"

As he spoke, the leader of the Dayan people took out the fox wood carving from last night from his pocket and solemnly placed it on the table. The people around him also stood up respectfully. In front of the wood carving was a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Hey, quickly offer a toast to the fox spirit."

A girl next to her gently nudged Eureka and handed her the cup she was holding.

"Isn't this Nutritional Express?"

"It's alright, the fox spirit won't mind. As long as it's something to drink, even plain water is fine."

The Fox Spirit Cult doesn't seem to have many rules, and it has many different sects. Some sects would respectfully offer fine wine, but if the conditions are less ideal, cola or plain water would also be acceptable.

"Ah, isn't this blasphemy?"

"How can this be considered blasphemy? We are just expressing our respect for the fox spirit. If we have to offer delicacies and fine wine to invite it, wouldn't that be the same as the mafia extorting protection money?"

That made such a good point that Eureka didn't know how to refute it, so she simply placed the cup of energy drink in front of the wooden carving.

"Alright, from today onwards you are a prospective believer. You can pray to the fox spirit and see if you can get a response?"

"Wait a minute, is it really that simple?"
