Talulah, I'm still a child.

"That seems true. Wait a minute, why do I have a feeling that something is amiss?"

"It's definitely dangerous. You'd better figure out what's going on first, otherwise those Mei Xue fans might do something."

Nearl nodded. She decided to ask directly when the time came. Although most people on Rhodes Island were good, there were quite a few ruthless characters, such as Lappland.

Meanwhile, on the border between Victoria and Ursus, a small force was deliberately moving towards the border of Kazimir, hoping to stumble upon a Rusthammer camp.

"Still no, it seems they've gone very far."

The blonde Vaiva woman shook her head, indicating that they would most likely come up empty-handed again today.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qinliu. We were too hasty. Rusty hammers are not easy to find."

The blonde Rupert woman shook her head, not surprised by the result. Rusthammer despised civilization, stayed away from civilization, and regarded civilization as an enemy. It was indeed not easy to find them.

"Hey Captain, why are we looking for the Rusty Hammer?"

"Because the higher-ups suspect that the Rusthammer organization instigated this conflict between us and Ursus. Although they don't know their purpose, the Grand Duke and the Sarkaz don't want to fight Ursus. They even asked the Sarkaz prophets for help. Otherwise, no one would target the Rusthammer."

Rusthammer doesn't have such cunning; at most, they're setting traps and waiting for their prey. This whole affair is eerie. If Ursus and Victoria continue fighting, it could escalate the war, which would be disadvantageous for everyone.

"Let's set up camp first, Bagpipes. Don't let your spear pierce the roof of the wagon."

Following the instructions of the Rupert woman, the entire squad found a relatively safe place to set up camp. Bagpipe noticed that Qinliu seemed to be thinking about something and was somewhat lost in thought.

I walked over and took a look, and found that she was looking at this photo. The photo showed a very cute Wooper boy with four tails. He looked very adorable.

"what……"

"Ah, it's a bagpipe! You scared me!"

Qin Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then put the photo away. Feng Di sat down next to her without any politeness.

"The person in that photo looks familiar. Who is he to you?"

“A friend of mine I haven’t seen in a long time, I don’t know how he is now. If it weren’t for him, I probably wouldn’t have joined Victoria’s army.”

As additional personnel on this mission, Qinliu and Fengdi are only at the stage of getting to know each other. However, Fengdi is a silly girl who is very outgoing.

"Sigh, but I feel like I've seen him before. What's his name?"

"Don't even think about it. He's from the Great Yan, and his name is Mei Xue. How could you possibly know him?"

Qin Liu shook her head, but Feng Di remembered it after being reminded by her.

"Oh my! Isn't this Chenchen's younger brother or boyfriend? I remember she even included a photo when she wrote me the letter!"

Whether it was her imagination or not, when Qin Liu heard the words "boyfriend," several black lines appeared on her forehead, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she only had one thought in her mind: Where did Chen Chen come from, this wild vixen?

Chapter 335 Rhodes Island Chat Logs

Qin Liu's encounter with Mei Xue dates back several years. At that time, Qin Liu had not yet graduated. She was just a relatively outstanding honor guard intern and did not have this code name. She used her real name, Jane Willow.

She found Mei Xue at her doorstep. He was very weak and his forehead was burning hot, as if he had a fever. She didn't know what Mei Xue had gone through, but out of her conscience and morality, she took him home and took good care of him.

After waking up, Mei Xue had amnesia and remembered nothing. However, the way he called Qin Liu "sister" was irresistible. Although it was a bit shameful, Qin Liu, who had always lived alone, felt a special warmth from then on. Every day after returning from military training, she could eat the meals cooked by Mei Xue and lived a very happy life.

However, a month after she found Mei Xue, she had already prepared a ring and was thinking of expressing her feelings to the little fox, but unexpectedly, Mei Xue's memory returned first, and she left with only a letter.

"He knew I was reluctant to leave, so he didn't tell me in person. He just cooked me a meal, left a note telling me some things, and then left. Later, I wanted to find him, so I joined the combat unit, which allowed me to be exposed to more things..."

"I see. That explains why honor guards wanted to join combat units."

Horn nodded thoughtfully, taking Qin Liu's statement as an acceptance. Windpipe hadn't expected that Chen Huijie's beloved younger brother would be involved with his teammate. Judging from Qin Liu's expression, she still liked Mei Xue very much and hadn't let go of her after all these years.

"Wait a minute, Captain, when did you get here?"

Fengdi and Qinliu suddenly realized that there was someone else beside them.

"Just now when you were talking about finding someone, but that white Volpo with four tails... that description sounds so familiar. Are there any other characteristics?"

I feel like I've heard a similar description of the bugle somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now.

"She's under 1.5 meters tall, has blue eyes, and is very cute."

Qinliu added some features, and the horn nodded, seemingly grasping a bit of inspiration.

"anything else?"

"If I really have to say something... would being exceptionally lucky count?"

"How good is it?"

"It's about the point where you can find wallets every day, even right outside your door."

Recalling the pile of wallets and lottery tickets that appeared in the house during that period, Qin Liu felt that this was probably the most obvious thing about Mei Xue. Sometimes, when Mei Xue went out to buy groceries and couldn't find a wallet, if she dropped one on the ground, Mei Xue would pick it up in less than three minutes.

"I remember now! It really is him!"

Horn clapped his hands, and immediately recalled a mission issued from above half a year ago, which ordered his commando team to search for a white Wolper boy with four tails throughout Victoria. He was short and had blue hair. There was no photo for reference, but the mission notes emphasized one point: the target was extremely lucky and could not be understood by common sense.

"Hey, Captain, you know Chenchen's brother too?"

"It wasn't me, it was the Sarkaz."

Shaking his head in denial of the bagpipes's claim, Horn looked at Qinliu, whose anxiety revealed her impatience. After all, being targeted by the Sarkaz in Victoria was no good thing.

"The Sarkaz are looking for him, and the Grand Dukes have also received the news. Although they don't know the reason behind it, they realize that this person may be of great importance to the Sarkaz."

"But Mei Xue isn't in Victoria right now. Wait, why didn't I know about this?"

Bagpipe nodded, and she asked why the entire commando team had been out patrolling all over the place during that period, but the captain hadn't told them the reason.

"To prevent the information from leaking out, not many people knew about it. Later, no one was found, and the task was abandoned."

"After all, this person is currently with Chen Chen on Rhodes Island."

Bagpipe knew more about Mei Xue's whereabouts than Qin Liu and Haojiao. When Chen Huijie left Lungmen, she wrote her a letter. As a former classmate and best friend, she was worried that Bagpipe wouldn't be able to find her when she came to Lungmen. She not only explained that she would probably act as a Rhodes Island operator in the future, but also used 70% of the letter to describe how cute Mei Xue was. She also included a selfie of a little fox with the letter.

"At the time, I thought Chenchen was showing off her younger brother, but then she added a sentence afterward."

"What was supplemented?"

Qin Liu clenched her hands, and Feng Di was completely unaware that something was wrong with her expression; he simply thought for a moment.

"Chenchen said that I should remember to attend her and Meixue's wedding in the future, and I guess I can be the godmother of her child."

At that time, the naive Chen Huijie had no idea what a dangerous place Rhodes Island was. She was still thinking that she could have some time alone with Mei Xue in the future. So when she wrote to Fengdi, she was a little carried away. She had not only thought about which relatives and friends to invite when she got married, but she had also thought about where her unborn child would work after graduating from university.

"Ah!"

Chen Huijie, who was on Rhodes Island, sneezed, then wiped her nose and picked up her cup. Rhodes Island, which was traveling at high speed, required its operators to secure all fragile items to prevent any mishaps. According to the Doctor, if it weren't for considering everyone's feelings, the Rhodes Island ship could have accelerated even further. Having more energy is just how extravagant it is.

Bored, Chen Huijie picked up her communicator to send a message to Mei Xue, but then thought better of it. The little fox usually only checked messages at night and then replied to everyone in turn with goodnight. She might as well check what new messages had been added to Rhodes Island's group chat.

[Hot-blooded Silly Cat]: What's going on? I went to Mei Xue's room just now and found a camera at the door?

【Apuru Party】: Didn't it already exist?

[Can Texas do it?]: It wasn't there yesterday, it must have been installed last night, hahaha.

[Little Red Riding Hood]: Red, yesterday I went to Mei Xue's room and saw Kal'tsit and White Owl dressed up.

[I'm sending you to jail right now]: Do you want to explain to me why you went to Mei Xue's room first?

The once lively group chat suddenly went quiet. After a while, [Hot-blooded Silly Cat] sent a "...", and others followed suit with a "...", followed by dozens of +1s.

Until a certain restless white wolf caused a stir.

[Can Texas do it?]: Of course, go and embrace that reassuring atmosphere.

【I can do it】: I knew it! I was wondering why you didn't go back to your dorm last night. Turns out you went to Meixue's place to...

Although those two words were censored, everyone who's been there knows what they mean. Mei Xue's dorm has never used any air fresheners, but Little Fox always has those scents on him, so much so that his dorm is covered in them, which makes it smell very pleasant.

Mei Xue was away during this time, and everyone was quietly taking care of things on their own. I didn't expect Lappland to be so picky about where to go.

[Apu Lupai]: Why did Kal'tsit install surveillance cameras?

【Humanoid Computer White Owl】: Dr. Kal'tsit said that this is to prevent operators from entering operator Mei Xue's dormitory without permission. As of now, a total of twelve operators have been found to have entered and exited the dormitory: Blaze, Rosemary, Lily of the Valley, Lappland, Red, Saria, Witch, Warfarin, Vina, Angelina, Yu, and Kroos.

"Wow, there are so many. Wait a minute, as of now..."

Chen Huijie suddenly realized that something was wrong. What were these guys doing inside?

[I'll send you to jail right now]: The surveillance cameras were installed last night, and so far twelve people have been in there. How did you manage to schedule the time so that no one would run into each other?

【Light of Rhodes Island】: Um, Sister Wulian, Sister Rosemary, and I just went to Brother Meixue's room to help clean up the dust and pick up some comic books.

[The wind is really strong on the bridge]: Me too.

[Hot-blooded Silly Cat]: Me too.

【Rhine Diamond King of Fighters】: Wait a minute, what do you mean by "without permission"? Do I need to apply to go to Mei Xue's room in the future?

Saria's words made everyone realize that something seemed a little off. Damn, they'd installed surveillance cameras. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome to sneak food in the future?

Oh, Hong doesn't seem to care. She's always been unconventional, so the cameras won't be able to capture her.

【Humanoid Computer White Owl】: According to Dr. Kal'tsit, during Mei Xue's absence from Rhodes Island, entry into Mei Xue's dormitory requires approval from either her, the Doctor, or Amiya.

【Ah Pu Lu Pai】: So that means we won't need it anymore after Mei Xue comes back?

【Humanoid Computer White Owl】: If Operator Mei Xue is located on Rhodes Island, she can only enter Mei Xue's dormitory with the joint approval of Kal'tsit, the Doctor, and Amiya.

[The wind is really strong on the bridge]: I protest! This is authoritarianism! This is tyranny! I have served Rhodes Island! I saved Amiya's life! You can't treat me like this!

[Time Thief Messenger]: I never expected them to go this far. Did they form an alliance behind the scenes?

【I can do it】: Probably, wait a minute, why did my ID change?

[Apu Lupai]: It must have been the Doctor who did it. I can't think of anyone else who would dare to change Kal'tsit's nickname!

【Terra's Oldest Woman】: What are you talking about?

The entire group fell silent in an instant. After asking her question, Kal'tsit noticed a slight change in her ID. She almost crushed the communicator in her hand. Meanwhile, the Doctor had decisively transferred the group to Mei Xue and then found a place to hide.

"Hahahaha, Kal'tsit, you've finally met your match! Hahahaha!"

Warfarin laughed until her stomach hurt, rolling around on her bed. Only a doctor would have the guts to do something like that.

Kroos, who was idly scrolling through messages at the supermarket counter, reacted in the same way, with laughter rising and falling. For a time, Rhodes Island was filled with a joyful atmosphere, until Mei Xue came out.

【小梅雪的*真大】: Huh? What's with this asterisk?

Mei Xue was suddenly made the group owner without even realizing what had happened when she discovered that her nickname had changed again.
