Talulah, I'm still a child.

Meanwhile, Lin Guang, having changed into her nightgown, headed towards the bedroom she remembered. After all the commotion, she felt utterly exhausted. She opened the door and collapsed onto the bed. Luckily, her hair and tail were covered by plastic bags and didn't get wet. She buried her head in the blankets.

"Ah... Margaret, don't think about it, forget it, forget it!"

The more he said he wanted to forget, the clearer he remembered it in his heart. When Lin Guang closed his eyes, he could still see Mei Xue standing in front of him. It was too shameful.

Her heart was pounding so fast that it would take a while for her to calm down. Lin Guang half-closed her eyes, a rare hint of shyness flashing in them.

Over at the bathroom, Liz sneaked in quietly. Seeing that no one was in the tub, she knew she was late. But there was still noise coming from the shower. She thought for a moment and slowly approached with light steps. Then she peeked inside and saw Mei Xue curiously playing with the bubbles in her hands.

The little fox was too alluring, and Liz felt her heart beating a little fast. She really wanted to rush in and have sex with Meixue right now, but the first time always had to be more romantic, which she valued. Besides, the main purpose of this trip was to take pictures of Meixue, and she still needed to take a few more pictures for Huang as promised.

Thinking of this, Liz decisively switched to camera mode and snapped a series of photos of Mei Xue before turning and leaving before the little fox could react.

"Ok?"

Sensing something was amiss, Mei Xue glanced at the doorway, found no one there, scratched her head, and continued rubbing her hair.

Having successfully obtained the photos, Liz promptly sent one to Huang, completely unaware that Shining was walking towards her.

"Liz, did you just take a shower?"

Seeing Liz come out of the bathroom, Shining was a little confused. If she had just taken a shower, it didn't seem like it. There wasn't a trace of moisture on Liz's body, and besides, hadn't she just taken a shower an hour ago?

"Ah... I, I just went inside to get some clothes."

Liz quickly turned off the screen and put away the communicator. She nervously walked around Shining toward her room. Although she usually appeared quite assertive, she was in the wrong at times like this. If Mei Xue found out about the secret filming, the little fox might look at her with disappointment.

But Liz, who was leaving in a hurry, did not notice that Shining was also carrying a towel and bath towel, in other words, Shining also needed to take a shower.

"That's strange, why does Liz seem so nervous?"

Slightly bewildered, Shanling scratched her head and decided to ignore it. She needed to go back to sleep after her shower; she was quite tired today and needed to visit the hospital Mei Xue had bought tomorrow.

"Strange, where are the Nearl people?"

She entered the bathhouse but found no one there. Shining remembered that she had just asked Nearl to leave the door open. There was no one in the bathhouse, but she could hear some noises coming from the shower room.

"Could it be the shower room?"

Touching her hair, Shining thought for a moment and decided to go straight to the shower room to wash her hair while Nearl was still there, hoping she could help her out.

With that thought in mind, Shining walked to the shower room. The little fox hadn't closed the door, so when she got to the door, she happened to see Mei Xue preparing to wash off all the foam off her body.

"A hardworking fox learns to manage the household early, and a happy fox gets married early~"

Humming a pleasant little tune, Mei Xue reached out and turned on the tap. Under Shining's watchful gaze, the warm water gently rinsed away the white foam from top to bottom, starting with her hair, then her alluring neck, then her shoulders and arms, and then...

"puff!"

Shining couldn't help herself and quickly covered her nose with her hand. To be honest, if Mei Xue had been covered in foam or had been rinsed clean from the beginning, Shining could have kept her composure, at most blushing.

But as things gradually unfold from the initial concealment to the gradual revelation of the true nature, and the fantasies in the mind gradually become reality, watching Mei Xue's skin unfold before one's eyes little by little, let alone Shining, even Kal'tsit would have to close her eyes and silently recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times.

"Oh, Sister Shining?"

After taking a shower and wrapping herself in a towel, Mei Xue finally noticed Shining's presence. But before she could say anything, Shining's face turned red, and drops of blood trickled from his hands onto the ground.

"Sister, why are you bleeding?"

This startled Mei Xue. The little fox nervously ran forward to help, but Shan Ling quickly shook her head, realizing for the first time that this was Mei Xue's true destructive power—it was terrifying.

"I just had a bit of a sore throat, it's nothing. Meixue, are you done washing up?"

"Hmm, I was just thinking of drying myself after my shower. Are you sure you're okay, Shining?"

Mei Xue felt that Shining's bleeding amount was a bit off no matter how she looked at it.

"It's okay, really it's nothing, cough cough..."

Shining wiped the blood from her nose. She had thought that everything would be better after Mei Xue wrapped herself in a bath towel, but now it was even worse. She had an urge to tear the bath towel off herself.

"Meixue, you should go quickly, otherwise I won't be able to hold back any longer. No, I mean it will be too late later."

This is a trial, a test of Shining's willpower. She must persevere, or it will be bad for her health (meaning she will be hunted down by Liz).

"Hmm, are you sure you don't need my help? I can wash your hair for you."

The little fox twitched its ears and glanced at Shining's hair. Actually, Shining's hair was quite long, almost reaching her waist, but there was a storage compartment on the inside of her clothes, so it wasn't usually noticeable.

"I really don't need it, I can manage on my own."

As Shining finished speaking, her eyes involuntarily glanced at the gap in Mei Xue's bath towel, and she almost bled again.

"OK then."

Mei Xue looked a little disappointed. After all, this was the first time the little fox had offered to wash someone else's hair. He mainly wanted to practice so that he could wash Talulah's hair clean in the future.

"...Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

Unable to bear seeing Mei Xue's dejected appearance, Shining used Originium Arts to stop her own nosebleed. She was truly only thinking of Mei Xue; she had absolutely no selfish motives! Yes, absolutely no personal thoughts!

But how should I put it... Mei Xue is really amazing. Why didn't I notice her back in the Tower of Babel era?

As Shining thought about it, she walked to the small stool and sat down, lowering her head to let Mei Xue help her wet her hair first.

The little fox was quite skilled at grooming. Although it was her first time washing someone else's hair, she was surprisingly adept at it. Her technique of applying shampoo and creating lather made Shining feel very comfortable. And the little fox was really just washing Shining's hair; she didn't do anything else.

The tail wagged happily, and Mei Xue gently stroked the head of the spirit. The spirit lowered its head and glanced at Mei Xue's delicate little feet from time to time. Suddenly, it understood those nobles with strange fetishes. If such a pair of jade feet were placed in front of them, it would be hard not to like them.

As the hot water washed away the foam, Shining was momentarily lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking. Her hair was so long that it would probably take some time to manage, but she felt that time passed quickly. When she came back to her senses, Mei Xue had already helped dry her hair.

"Then I'll go back to sleep first. Shining, you can take a bath by yourself."

"I……"

Seeing Mei Xue's appearance, Shining hesitated for a moment, but still looked up at him.

Does what you said today still stand?

"Ok?"

"It's about... sleeping together."

Her face flushed red, and she regretted it as soon as she said it. It was a moment of infatuation, but she couldn't pretend that what she said didn't exist.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Sister Shining."

Mei Xue wagged her tail and smiled as she agreed, then suddenly remembered something.

"But Sister Shining, you have to hurry. Good children shouldn't stay up late. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

These words seemed to have some other hidden meaning at first glance. Shining paused for a moment, then nodded. After Mei Xue left, she pondered alone for a while. Her brain, which was on the verge of crashing, finally started working again, and then she realized what she had just said to Mei Xue.

"I'm really sorry to Liz now."

Chapter 345 Liz, I'm sorry

During the long night, Maria couldn't sleep. Lying in her hospital bed, she stared out the window, or rather, in the direction of home. After learning about the complicated and difficult-to-explain emotional relationship between her sister, her best friend, and Mei Xue, Maria's mind became increasingly chaotic.

At first, she only thought she was sorry to her sister, but she didn't expect that her sister and brother-in-law were also having a secret relationship. In other words, her sister's two best friends were the real enemies.

"This is troublesome. Those two don't look like easy targets."

Maria scratched her head in distress. Both Shining and Liz were among the most outstanding and charismatic women she had ever met. Shining's maturity and intelligence, and Liz's genuine desire to protect and cherish them, were both extremely rare.

Maria is no match for them now. She can only hope that she still holds a certain place in Mei Xue's heart, and that her sister will work harder.

"Sigh, I was thinking of sleeping with my sister again, but...oh no!"

Maria suddenly remembered something. Because there were no servants in the mansion, it was time-consuming to manage the huge mansion. As a result, many guest rooms were left unattended. She had found it troublesome and thought that since Mei Xue was her brother-in-law, she simply arranged for the little fox to stay in her sister Margaret's room in the mansion.

My sister is back now, and my brother-in-law hasn't moved out. Damn, this is going to be a big mess!

In fact, before Maria could even react, this major event had already occurred. Lin Guang was sleeping soundly in bed when she vaguely heard a creaking sound of a door opening and something climbing onto the bed. However, she was still half asleep and didn't pay much attention. She subconsciously reached out to touch it to see what it was.

She also wanted to compliment Maria on how clean the house was, noting that it was still so tidy even though she hadn't been back for years, and that the bedding had a light and pleasant floral scent, just like Mei Xue's, and that the feel of this was similar too...

Wait a minute, Mei Xue?

Realizing something was wrong, Margaret quickly reached out and touched the soft object. That familiar feel, and that thigh... ouch...

"Well?"

Before Margaret could speak, the little fox, realizing there seemed to be someone else in her bed, reached out and placed her hand on Nearl's stomach, moving it upwards.

"Ahhh!"

In the dead of night, in complete darkness, Nearl managed to illuminate the entire room as if it were daytime using Originium Arts. Mei Xue, who had been inexplicably hit with a flashbang, covered her eyes with her tail, looking quite distressed. The little fox truly hadn't expected to be caught in this predicament for no reason.

"Waaah..."

The whimpering sounds coming from his mouth made Lin Guang feel uneasy. Mei Xue couldn't help but rub her eyes, and tears fell in large drops. It wasn't that he was being childish, but that he was really in a lot of pain.

"Mei Xue, what are you doing in my room?"

Lin Guang reached out and picked up the little fox. She knew that the light she had just used was a bit too bright, and she hoped it hadn't hurt Mei Xue's eyes.

"But this is my room."

The little fox rubbed her eyes, finally managing to open them but still seeing things blurry. She pointed to the desk over there, and Lin Guang then noticed that the desk was covered with the little fox's things, such as her diary and some small toys. But this was also her bedroom; she wouldn't be so foolish as to get lost in her own home.

But there's no use saying anything now. Margaret still checked Mei Xue's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the little fox was only momentarily blinded. If the little fox had any aftereffects, not only would her conscience bother her, but the Mei Xue fanatics on Rhodes Island would probably come and kill her tomorrow.

"Ouch, my eyes hurt, Sister Linguang."

"Meixue, it's my fault. Just close your eyes and bear with it for a bit, it'll be fine in a little while."

She gently hugged the little fox and rubbed it in her arms. Now Lin Guang was truly speechless with resentment, since she was the one who reached out and touched Mei Xue first.

The discomfort in her eyes prevented Mei Xue from focusing on anything else. The little fox's tail swayed restlessly. Mandra, lying in the cat bed, was also very uncomfortable. She had been sleeping when a flashbang was thrown at her out of nowhere, and the kitten almost got its fur standing on end.

"Sister, will I be unable to see in the future?"

"How could that be? My Originium Arts was just a light bulb, it's fine, it's fine."

Despite saying that, Lin Guang still felt quite guilty. She should have turned on the light and checked. If she had known this was Mei Xue's room, she definitely wouldn't have come in.

"really?"

"Of course it's true. If you really go blind, I promise I'll take care of you from now on, okay?"

While comforting Mei Xue and rubbing his head, Lin Guang suddenly realized that the little fox's outfit was somewhat tempting and irresistible. The little fox was only wearing a long shirt and that was it. Really, Lin Guang only noticed this when he was sitting in his lap. Wasn't he cold?

But no matter what, Nearl resisted the urge to let go. Anyway, just now... well, never mind, I can't think about it, I can't let Liz down.

After waiting a while, as Lin Guang gradually lowered the brightness to a suitable level, Mei Xue finally recovered. Although she was still a little sore and her vision was blurry, the little fox was at least not scared into thinking she was going blind.
