Talulah, I'm still a child.

As she spoke, Talulah returned to her room, took out the suitcase she hadn't used in a long time, and began stuffing a bunch of things into it, from toothbrushes and toothpaste to clothes. Talulah realized that although she had quite a few clothes, they all seemed a bit too conservative, and she needed some different styles for their time together.

Whether it's cold or not is secondary; after all, she's a red dragon, and Talulah's resistance to freezing is extremely strong.

"Tsk... I should have learned how to dress from Black Snake. That guy's taste in this area is really something else. Looks like I'll have to buy some clothes on the way."

Scratching her head in exasperation, Talulah continued packing her bags, but the next moment she felt a pair of soft little hands cover her eyes. It was very warm, and then she felt someone pressing down on her. However, she could clearly feel that this person was very light.

Guess who I am~

The melodious voice carried an undisguised playfulness and joy, and Talulah wrapped her tail around him without thinking.

Will I get a reward if I guess right?

"Hmm...of course there is~"

The little fox wagged its tail, looking at the dragon tail around its waist, knowing it couldn't hide it from its older sister.

"What can Mei Xue give me?"

Talulah took Mei Xue off her back and hugged him in her arms, poking his cheek. Since gaining the ability to teleport, the little fox could freely travel between the Reunion Movement and any other place, but he couldn't take anyone with him.

"Hmm...it seems like there's nothing I can give."

Mei Xue sucked on his finger. He had originally planned to cook, but he was so overjoyed that he couldn't help himself and came to tell Talulah the good news. He didn't bring any gifts.

"What do you mean you have nothing to give? I heard you're rolling in money now."

“But I belong to my sister. Everything I have belongs to her, so of course I have nothing to give her.”

The little fox wagged its tail and gave a smile that nearly made Talulah's heart and lungs stop. She glanced at the time, made a snap decision, and decided, "I'm not eating dinner tonight! I'm eating this fox spirit!"

"Then I won't be polite!!"

Chapter 341 The Unspeakable Things in the Ward

"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but Lily of the Valley has been acting strangely these days."

At the Rhodes Island junior operator tea party, Ifrit ate cake while talking, her tone somewhat bewildered.

"Really? I feel that Sister Linglan is still as gentle and considerate as before."

Popka took small sips of her hot cocoa and then bit into a piece of marshmallow. To her, lily of the valley was just lily of the valley, nothing strange about it.

"No, she has indeed become somewhat different. Sometimes I see Linglan talking to herself, and sometimes she seems particularly mature."

Wu Lian observed more closely. These days, she often saw Linglan alone, and she didn't even attend today's tea party. This was very strange, since Linglan wasn't as busy as Amiya.

"And it has become much stronger. Before, it would burn its tail and skirt."

After this reminder, Rosemary reacted. Previously, Lily of the Valley couldn't control her Originium Arts very well, but in yesterday's training, she actually performed so well that even a magic master like Logos praised her for her exceptional talent.

"I heard that Sister Linglan has been doing something these days, hmm, it seems to be some kind of bride training?"

Cecilia held a glass of juice and answered thoughtfully. That day, she had seen Suzuran browsing through books in the library, and they were all books that she couldn't understand, such as "What a Qualified Wife Should Be," "If You Can Completely Control Your Beloved," and "One Hundred Ways to Deal with Cat Thieves," all written by a person named Katsura Kotonoha.

For Cecilia, who is about to turn eight, all of that is too far away, and Felia does not intend to teach her daughter too much at this stage.

"The bride's cultivation is alright, but I have to admit she and Mei Xue are a really good match."

Although Ivelit had always hoped that Meixue and Saria would end up together, she had to admit that Suzuran was a strong match. Not only were they a good match in appearance, but they were also a very compatible pair in terms of personality and mentality.

"I'm not bad either."

Rosemary was somewhat depressed, especially when she thought about Mei Xue going on vacation with another woman, which made her even more unhappy.

You are far inferior to me.

Wu Lian replied irritably, and then received strange looks from Ifrit and Rosemary, the meaning of which was obvious: When did you, as a spectator, get involved in the competition?

"Cecilia, are you settling in well on Rhodes Island?"

After much thought, Wu Lian decided to use Cecilia to change the subject, and the little angel nodded cutely.

"Everyone on Rhodes Island is a very nice person. It's not boring at all to stay here, and I also have Brother Mei Xue to keep me company."

Of course, the most important thing is that her mother's illness is no longer a concern. Cecilia is especially grateful for Mei Xue's help, especially after learning that without Mei Xue, her mother might have left her forever.

"I really envy you. On the entire Rhodes Island, Mei Xue dotes on you and the Doctor the most."

Ifrit's envy was just talk. Leaving aside the Doctor, Cecilia was truly spoiled rotten by Meixue. Whenever Cecilia went to see Meixue, the little fox would always make time to accompany her, giving her different gifts every day. Cecilia didn't even need to ask; the little fox would always hug her tail when they met.

I remember that Lily of the Valley and Rosemary got jealous about this several times, and the kitten even bit Meixue's neck twice in a fit of pique.

"After all, Cecilia is the youngest."

At only seven years old, Cecilia is the youngest child on Rhodes Island. Not to mention Meixue, even Kal'tsit is exceptionally kind to her. Of course, this may be partly because Cecilia calls her "older sister" and praises her for being beautiful.

"That's wonderful! I want to be a child too."

"But I want to grow up, I wish I could grow up faster."

Cecilia gently poked at the cake with her fork and smiled slightly at Ifrit. Her smile was exactly the same as Mei Xue's, making it impossible for anyone to feel any negative emotions. When she smiled, she and Mei Xue really looked like a brother and sister.

"why?"

"Because Mom said that when I grow up, I can be with Brother Meixue forever, um... I guess we'll get married, but I'm not really sure."

These words were far too bold. Rosemary, Witch, and Ifrit all looked at her with admiration. Countless people on Rhodes Island had the same thoughts, but no one had the guts to say them, let alone be as frank as Cecilia.

Sincerity is indeed the ultimate weapon against everything.

"Does Mei Xue know about your plan?"

"I know, I told Brother Meixue that I wanted to be with him forever, but he said that childhood is very precious and should be cherished."

At this point, Cecilia couldn't help but smile sweetly, her eyebrows forming crescent moons, radiating happiness. This caused Rosemary and Witch to subconsciously look away, as they felt that the halo above Cecilia's head was shining brightly.

"He also said he would wait for me to grow up."

"I'm so envious."

Ifrit scratched her head. She missed how she used to whine to Himer when she was little, but she didn't think growing up was a bad thing. At least she wasn't causing Himer as much trouble now.

"Aren't you worried that Mei Xue will be taken away by someone else?"

Rosemary's tail swayed slightly, and her heart was beating a little fast when she asked this question.

"Don't worry, Brother Meixue won't abandon me."

After Cecilia finished speaking, she took another sip of juice and suddenly missed Mei Xue. She missed his big, fluffy, warm tails and the way he told her stories. It was a pity that the little fox was not on Rhodes Island now.

Cecilia wasn't the only one who missed Meixue; Suzuran also missed Meixue, though her feelings were somewhat different from Cecilia's.

[Tsk tsk, what kind of mental state were the authors of these books in to write this stuff?]

As Linglan closed the book, Su Xueer couldn't help but comment, especially on the title, "How to Make the Person You Like Never Leave You." The cover and title looked normal, but the content was simply outrageous. Compared to this, Rosemary's collar imprisonment was a relatively mild method.

"I heard that this author named Katsura Kotonoha once reduced the divorce rate in the East by half in a year."

What about the marriage rate?

"Only one-tenth of what it was two years ago."

Linglan scratched her head sheepishly, then a burst of blue flames appeared in her hand, burning the entire book to ashes. If Meixue saw this book, who knows what the little fox would think of her? A bride shouldn't be reading this during her cultivation.

Ever since she learned that she was a shoo-in for the position of Fox Fairy Bride in the Great Yan Kingdom, Linglan began to try to meet the expectations of a wife. In the Eastern Kingdom, there has always been a saying about bride training.

There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Mei Xue is very capable in every way.

"Well!"

Now that they were of one mind, Linglan naturally knew what Su Xue'er meant. Her fair face flushed with an alluring blush. As someone who had been through it all, she knew very well how capable Mei Xue was.

Moreover, according to Su Xueer, a large part of the reason she didn't show her memories to Linglan was because she was worried that Linglan would faint from excessive shame.

Okay, okay, go wash up and get ready for bed now. I'll continue teaching you tonight.

For Su Xue'er, Originium Arts was no more difficult than elementary school math. With her guidance, Suzuran's progress was incredibly rapid.

To become stronger and constantly hone her skills, Linglan strives to catch up with Meixue. She takes out her communicator and sends a goodnight message to the little fox before taking a towel and walking into the bathroom.

"Hmm, lily of the valley?"

Mei Xue put down the spoon in her hand, took out the communicator, glanced at it, replied "Sweet dreams" and continued to feed Maria. Maria's hands were in casts, so she needed help to eat.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances (referring to being entangled by Talulah for almost two hours), the meal was eaten quite late. When Mei Xue returned to Lin Guang's house, she had to ask Lin Qingyan and Specter to help her take care of herself, as Talulah had made her tail and hair a mess.

"Brother-in-law, who is Linglan?"

Maria asked, opening her mouth to bite Mei Xue's spoon. She felt that such a comfortable life was corrupting her.

"A very close friend of mine!"

"Girls?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing Mei Xue's affirmative answer, Maria suddenly lost her appetite.

"How does she compare to my sister... no, to me?"

"Hmm, much younger than you. Lily of the Valley is even shorter than me."

Mei Xue gestured with her hand, and Maria felt a huge weight lifted from her heart upon hearing this. So she was just a little girl. That made things alright.

"Speaking of which, brother-in-law, do you and my sister have any plans to get married?"

"No, Sister Linguang didn't mention it."

The little fox continued feeding them. It would take Talulah a long time to get to Kazimierz, and he wouldn't leave Kavaleria until then. Once he arrived at Rhodes Island, he could play with everyone again.

"That's good... cough cough, no, I mean, are you planning to stay here from now on?"

"No, Nearl is planning to stay, but I'm going to Rhodes Island to go somewhere else. There are still many things to do, at least I need to get my old memories back."

This is quite different from what Maria initially thought. She assumed that Nearl would only stay for a while after returning and then leave with Rhodes Island, or stay with Mei Xue as well. It turns out they are separated? In that case, the emotional connection between the two might be more complicated than she imagined.

No, does that mean she has a chance?!

"Then I can... no, brother-in-law, you have a blacksmith workshop on Rhodes Island, right?"

"Yes, Little K likes to lie down and sleep in Sister Vulcan's workshop. Sister Nian only goes there occasionally. Although I don't know much about it, Kal'tsit said that everyone here is a very skilled blacksmith."

"Then do you think I can come with you?"
