Talulah, I'm still a child.

"You want to see him too, don't you?"

"...Yes, I hope he can help me."

Dorothy took her experiments very seriously. Seria sighed; as a former colleague, she knew very well that Dorothy also had a rather dangerous side.

"I won't try to persuade you, but I won't help you either. This matter requires the approval of the Doctor, Amiya, Kal'tsit, and the representatives of the Great Yan, and even more so, Mei Xue's own consent."

Saria rubbed her temples slightly, not yet finishing her sentence. If Mei Xue herself was unwilling, Saria would rather throw Dorothy out of Rhodes Island than let her come within ten meters of the little fox.

"I will."

"Besides that, there are a few other things you need to be aware of, which are related to Mei Xue's experience. Let's go, let's talk about it slowly."

Saria knew about Mei Xue's experience in Ursus, so she was worried that Dorothy's experiment might cause those terrible shadows deep in Mei Xue's heart to spread, and it would be best to make things clear in advance.

Ifrit and Muirsey were also chatting, and their conversation mainly revolved around Mei Xue.

Because of her demanding work at Rhine Lab, Muirsey could only exchange a few words with the little fox each time she chatted. Several times when she had free time, Meixue was offline, so she knew very little about the current Meixue after her amnesia. The only thing she could confirm was that she was about as silly as before.

“I know Mei Xue very well. We’ve eaten together several times, and we’ve even played house and watched TV together. Tsk tsk, his tail has all sorts of things inside, and it feels really nice to touch.”

For the first time, Ifrit realized that her relationship with Mei Xue had changed from friends to very good friends. At least she was happy to pet Mei Xue's tails with her, since she wasn't at a loss.

"By the way, Miu Miu, do you also like Mei Xue?"

Seeing Saria with Dorothy on the other side, Ifrit quietly spoke to Muirses, who paused for a moment, her face turning slightly red, and did not answer the question directly.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I've seen the cushions you hide in the closet and the little diary under the bed before."

"you……"

Just as Muirsay was about to say something, she suddenly realized something, and a hint of concern appeared in her eyes. Although Ifrit was always straightforward, she would never speak like this.

"Are you the Balrog?"

"That's right, it's me. That brat Ifrit refused to do her homework and made me come out to help her, tsk..."

The Flame Demon spoke irritably, expressing strong disdain for Ifrit's behavior. If it weren't for its passive position, it would have given Ifrit a beating no matter what.

"That's something she's capable of, but how do you know what I wrote in my diary?"

"I guessed it, because Lily of the Valley and the others also wrote a lot of saccharine things in their diaries, but Rosemary is an exception; none of her writings can pass the censorship."

When Rosemary was mentioned, [Flame Demon] seemed a little strange. She didn't know how to describe it. Once, when she visited Rosemary, she accidentally glanced at it and found that the little cat's diary was full of Q-version images of Mei Xue, as well as some rather horrifying words, such as basement, collar, escape, and imprisonment.

Despite being usually indifferent, emotionally detached, and often having a hazy memory, Rosemary remembers everything about Meixue perfectly, and inevitably develops some ulterior motives.

"My God... what kind of place is Rhodes Island? Who are these people?"

Upon hearing this, Muirsay couldn't maintain his composure.

Chapter 338 Sweet Dreams

The kitchen in the Lin Guang family's house was very large, and it was clear that there must have been many people in this mansion in the past, but now it was unusually deserted. Maria stood at the kitchen door and looked at Mei Xue. The little fox's knife skills were very good, and the speed was so fast that only afterimages and the "clattering" sound were left.

Since it's not suitable to eat anything too greasy or spicy at night, Mei Xue planned to cook a bowl of noodles for Maria. As for noodles, there were some in his tail. The Great Yan side had always been worried that Mei Xue missed her hometown food but had nothing to eat, so they would send people to Rhodes Island to deliver supplies, including thin noodles, wide noodles, and ramen.

"Brother-in-law, how come you can do everything?"

Maria felt that even if she wanted to have a lavish meal right now, Mei Xue could probably pull out the ingredients from her tail and cook it for her on the spot.

"Hmm... because my sister likes to eat it, so I learned how to make it."

At this point, Mei Xue's tail wagged proudly. From the first time he tried cooking until now, he has been trying different dishes every day. Especially during his time in Longmen, after he was able to buy recipes, the little fox basically changed the dishes for Chen Huijie every day, almost fattening Chen Huijie up.

Talulah, Frostnova, and others also enjoy the food Mei Xue makes, so the "sister" the little fox refers to is not simply a person, but a group of people.

Upon hearing this, Maria realized that the sister Mei Xue was referring to was Margaret Lin Guang, and she felt a pang of envy that her sister had someone who doted on her like this.

"Cold?"

Seeing that Maria's complexion wasn't very good, Mei Xue noticed that she was only wearing a nightgown. The little fox took off its coat and put it on Maria, while a fluffy fox tail snuggled into Maria's arms.

"I... thank you, brother-in-law. What about you?"

It's definitely much warmer now, but without the coat, the little fox is left with only a thin, short-sleeved shirt, the kind of summer wear that's particularly cool, with her collarbone and shoulders exposed.

However, the tail in her arms was indeed very comfortable, and Maria was reluctant to let go.

"I'm fine, it's not cold anyway."

The little fox scooped the noodles out of the pot and put them in a bowl. He added broth, salt, and soy sauce, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and finally, he couldn't forget to add chili peppers. And just like that, a steaming bowl of noodles was ready.

Come and eat!

"Ah."

Sitting at the dining table, Maria held Mei Xue's tail with one hand and used chopsticks in the other to try to pick up the noodles. She wasn't very skilled with chopsticks, so eating noodles was indeed a bit difficult for her.

After failing on her third attempt, Maria looked up at Mei Xue with a sigh. The little fox was also looking at her, smiling, her beautiful teeth as white and smooth as jade.

"Brother-in-law, could you please use a fork instead?"

"Hmm... the noodles will break if you do that."

The little fox shook its head. Eating noodles with a fork? In the Great Yan Dynasty, that would be like asking someone which is better, savory or sweet tofu pudding.

Just as Maria was drooping her ears, intending to slowly get used to it, Mei Xue also felt that it was indeed quite difficult for her, so she simply took her chopsticks.

"I'll feed you."

As she spoke, Mei Xue ignored Maria's expression and picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, bringing it to her mouth.

After hesitating for a moment, Maria still bit into the noodles and slurped them up in small bites.

"Is it delicious?"

"Ah."

Maria bowed her head and responded, feeling her face burning hotter than the soup, but the noodles were indeed delicious. After all, the Great Yan would only ever give Mei Xue the best things.

And so it went, with Mei Xue feeding Maria, who became increasingly restless as she ate, until she even finished the soup.

"After you've eaten, rinse your mouth first, then rest for a bit before going to sleep."

"I see."

Maria nodded, watching Mei Xue clear away the dishes. She felt that this little fox had the air of a husband, and was really good at taking care of people.

"Brother-in-law, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Hmm... I can't sleep yet, so I need to use your kitchen for a while longer. Go to sleep, your face is all red from the cold."

Mei Xue gave Maria a happy smile before going into the kitchen to continue her work. Maria touched her face, which was so hot it could be used for teppanyaki, and quickly wrapped her clothes tighter before running back.

An hour later, on the riverbank outside Kavaleriaki, Gatanjah and Amaya were being accused by a group of Siren sisters.

"Big sister and little sister, you've really gone too far! How can you only think about your own pleasure?!"

"I also want to go ashore and cuddle with my owner!"

"Pah! You don't just want to rub against me, you're lusting after your master's body!"

"Nonsense, which one of us isn't greedy? Even if we don't get married, expanding our clan would be a good thing."

More than ninety mouths chattered incessantly, mostly clamoring to find Mei Xue. The shared feelings between Gatanothor and Amaya did not calm them down; instead, it fueled the siren lolis's longing for Mei Xue even more.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Honestly, I should have just sent the two of us."

Amaya sighed helplessly. Even though she was the eldest sister, she couldn't suppress the restless hearts of these guys. In the end, her status as the eldest sister was just for show. The Sirens only had Mei Xue as their master, and they wouldn't listen to anyone else except Mei Xue.

"What do we do now?"

"Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, we won't be staying in this country for long. We'll just do some investigation and leave."

Gatanothor nodded, then opened a bag of potato chips and ate them. The sirens didn't need to sleep; their daily rest was just imitating Mei Xue's schedule. If the little fox didn't log into the mental network, they would basically find things to do on their own.

Ultimately, the Sirens are causing such a ruckus largely because they're too bored; there isn't even a single game console in this godforsaken place.

"You live here?"

Just as everyone was chattering away, Mei Xue suddenly appeared and gently patted Amaya's shoulder, startling her so much that she plunged headfirst into the water.

The Siren lolis, who were originally discussing what position they would use for their first time, were all stunned. After realizing what was happening, they decisively jumped into the water. Gatanothor quickly ate the potato chips along with the packaging, hurriedly wiped his mouth clean, and then looked at the school swimsuit he was wearing. He scratched his face a little embarrassedly.

After a while, more than ninety heads emerged from the river, blowing bubbles together.

"Um... Master, what brings you here?"

A siren asked, her heart filled with excitement, yet she subconsciously kept her distance. Although emotionally she wished she could be right there with Mei Xue, venturing into the bushes and engaging in a military exercise, she instinctively still regarded herself as the little fox's companion.

As a dependent, one must naturally understand what one should and should not do, and must not cause trouble for the master, and all actions should be based on the master's interests.

"I missed you all, so I came to see you."

Mei Xue held up an oil-paper umbrella and took out bowls of noodles from the tail and placed them on the ground.

"I made some midnight snacks and thought since everyone was still awake, I brought them over. I hope you can... Why are you crying?"

Before Mei Xue could finish speaking, the Siren Lolis were all on the verge of tears. If they weren't worried about wasting the noodles Mei Xue had prepared for them, they would have all pounced on her right now.

These noodles weren't copied by Mei Xue using his tail; he really cooked them for quite a while before finishing. Thinking it was a token of his affection, he decided not to cheat with his tail.

"It's nothing, I just choked a little."

"Can't you come up with a better reason? We're aquatic animals, and you can choke on water. Are you going to drown someday?"

"Then why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry, I was just soaking in the river."

Although it was just a bowl of noodles, it was still very touching for these sirens who had never experienced the warmth of family affection, especially since it was specially made for them by Mei Xue.

Are they alright?

Mei Xue looked at Amaya, who shook her head, indicating that it wasn't a big problem. After all, the average age of the sirens was less than a year, and their mental age was also not high. For them, Mei Xue's behavior was quite hurtful.

"That's good. I have other things to do. Let's have a proper chat later."

It was already so late, and Mei Xue needed to go back to sleep. The little fox twirled the umbrella, and in Amaya and the others' perception, it was as if a pencil drawing had been erased by an eraser. Its figure faded and disappeared in an instant, and then reappeared in the city at the same time. There was no time difference between its disappearance and appearance.

"Now there will be more than two hundred restless ones."

Amaya sensed the protests from the remaining sisters in the mental network, shook her head with a helpless wry smile, and gestured for her sisters to come over and have a late-night snack together.

Mei Xue didn't know what his actions meant to these Sirens. In his eyes, it was just a very simple thing. He just felt that these silly girls had gone so far for him, so at least they shouldn't be left without even a bowl of hot noodles. If he had the chance in the future, he would try to cook a meal for them. Perhaps things would be much more lively after he returned to Da Yan this year.
