Talulah, I'm still a child.

Meanwhile, the Great Yan side is also making intensive arrangements for Mei Xue's return for the New Year. The little fox has been away for so many years, so the grand occasion must be given. However, there is no need to deliberately create a big scene, as it would be wasteful and would only provoke Mei Xue's resentment.

"Oh right, inform the prefect of Shangshu. That's right, the first stop is over there. After all, the Fox Fairy's former residence is in the south, so we definitely need to go home to visit first. What did you say... Oh, no need. Why hold a welcome party? My little ancestor doesn't like that."

As he spoke, the Grand Tutor wrote all of this down on a piece of paper. As one of the few people in the Great Yan Dynasty who held high positions of power, he had even more work to do.

“That’s right. There’s no need for protection. No one in the Great Yan can hurt Him. But I estimate there will be quite a commotion. You’d better organize some people to maintain order and give the people a heads-up. Tell them that the fox spirit has brought good fortune this year and is probably going to visit that place. That way, there won’t be a huge crowd.”

Everything else is easy to talk about, but the public sentiment is a big problem. The fox spirit is a belief that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Great Yan Dynasty. Every person in the Great Yan Dynasty grew up listening to the legends of the fox spirit. From studies, love, health to career, it seems that the fox spirit has almost taken over all the religious duties of the Great Yan Dynasty. The Great Yan Dynasty can only remember a few disasters over the years.

The most recent instance was decades ago, when the fox spirit officially received the name Mei Xue, but a disaster was brought about by the recklessness of a few individuals.

For the people of Dayan, they may not believe in fox spirits, but they cannot not worship or respect them. Dayan has never worried that Mei Xue will affect their power. For her, who has lived for a long time, Dayan is the most precious existence. Apart from the ancient plum tree and Su Xue'er, Dayan is the one that has accompanied Mei Xue the longest.

Therefore, over the years, the Great Yan has never thought of weakening the influence of the Fox Spirits. According to them, they were worried that if they did so, they would be ashamed to face their ancestors after death. Therefore, they have always used Mei Xue's influence to promote various cultures. The least severe discrimination against infected people in the Great Yan was created in the name of the Fox Spirits.

So it's easy to imagine that if the people of Dayan saw Mei Xue walking past their door in the morning, they wouldn't doubt that they were dreaming. Instead, they would sincerely and respectfully bow six times and then warmly invite Mei Xue to their home, bringing out the best food to entertain her.

The Lunar New Year is a time of great celebration, and we can't let our little ones stay cooped up all day, so we naturally need to give them a heads-up.

"New Year's Eve dinner? Ah, I think we should arrange it there. Hmm, the ministers and I will all be there, as well as the old celestial masters. His Majesty didn't say anything, but it's always good to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."

The fact that the Reunion Movement also wanted to celebrate the New Year was not a problem for Da Yan at all. In fact, even if Mei Xue didn't bring it up, they had already planned to do so. As a way of thanking them for saving Mei Xue and taking care of her for so long, they would naturally have to have a good meal.

"Yes, and there's also the matter of the fox fairy bride... The Eastern Kingdom can just send someone to tell them, and the same goes for Syracuse. There are only two people involved, so there's no need to keep pursuing it."

Having made all these arrangements, the Grand Tutor put down the communicator and sighed deeply, then had to start planning another matter.

The fox spirit has returned, everything is ready, and preparations for the big event can begin.

Extra Chapter: Maybe we shouldn't have this daughter.

Long, long ago, on a snow-covered plain, lived a giant red dragon, whose will was constantly tormented by a curse from the darkness.

One day, the dragon discovered that an injured little fox had wandered into her territory, followed closely by a group of hunters. Enraged, she flapped her wings and used flames to drive away the hunters, taking in the cute and pitiful little fox.

Since the arrival of the little white fox, the dragon's life has become less lonely. The little fox would try to make her happy every day and find her some fruit. With his company, the dragon felt a warmth that was hotter than fire but not scalding, and the dark curse could no longer trouble her mind.

As time went by, the bond between the dragon and the little fox grew stronger, but it was at this time that many ill-intentioned villains set their sights on the little fox who belonged to the dragon.

A white rabbit from the ice cave? A deer from the birch forest? And the dragon's sister, her greatest enemy...

"And so, after the dragon defeated her sister and reclaimed her little fox, they lived happily ever after."

Talulah gently closed the storybook, quite satisfied with the story. She looked at her seven-year-old daughter to see her reaction, and received a disdainful look from her daughter.

"Mom, is it really okay for you to gossip about Aunt Cecilia like this? Even though I'm only seven years old, I'm much more sensible than Aunt Cecilia was back then."

Su Mengyun, also known as Nia Nia Arterias, has a father named Mei Xue, who is a person with considerable influence and status in the Great Yan Dynasty. He is generally referred to as the Fox Fairy.

My mother was a former leader of the Reunion Movement, but now she is an ordinary office worker.

Born into such a family, Su Mengyun's life was naturally anything but ordinary. From a young age, she interacted with a whole host of people who frequently appeared in the news. Well, they were either her uncles or aunts, or some of her father's good friends—well, female friends, anyway, that's how Mei Xue explained it.

"Tch, I didn't say anything wrong. You should have looked at what the book is called. Your mother is the rightful wife."

"But Aunt Lily of the Valley is the female lead."

“I hold the most importance in your father’s heart.”

"But Aunt Linglan is the female lead."

"Can you stop using this to pick a fight, you little brat?"

"...Dad is sleeping at Aunt Shining's place tonight."

This sentence was just as damaging to Talulah as Mei Xue's "Sister, let's get married," only with the opposite effect.

But there was nothing she could do about it. There were just too many women entangled with Mei Xue, so many that even if Talulah wanted to kill them all, she couldn't. Not to mention that there were many of them that she couldn't defeat. She could only accept Mei Xue's relationship with them.

"By the way, isn't Daddy getting married to Aunt Rosemary next month?"

Talulah felt a pang of heartache again. Now that so many years have passed, everyone knows that Rosemary is an extremely greedy cat. In the past, people could restrain her by using her age or the excuse that she wasn't married, but now that she's married, this guy will stick to Rosemary for at least 23 hours a day.

"Okay, okay, Mom, you have to accept reality. Think about it, you're the one who's getting a few more sisters, and I've got an aunt too. In a while, we'll have a few more younger brothers and sisters. It's just that Dad is good at making money, otherwise, we'd have a problem feeding our family."

Talulah almost burst into tears at her daughter's comforting words. The more she thought about it, the more she felt guilty. If only she hadn't let Mei Xue leave back then and had kept him in the Reunion Movement, at most Alina and Frostnova would have been competing with her for him. Now, all she could do was go out on Rhodes Island with Mei Xue's girlfriends, fiancées, lovers, wives, and oh, his children.

"By the way, Mom, what did Aunt Bagpipe mean when she told Dad the other day that there are no oxen that die from plowing? I remember Aunt Pallas whispering to Dad that plowing is a very tiring job?"

Talulah refused to answer the question; she felt as if a speeding tractor had run over her face, leaving deep tire marks.

"Also, Mom, aren't we changing our bed a bit too often? Changing it once a month is frequent enough, but we changed it again yesterday. Maybe we shouldn't buy anything from Aunt Kroos anymore. I saw her selling those little notebooks with Dad's picture on them the other day, but she wouldn't sell them to me."

(If she dares to sell to you, I'll make your dad knock on her door on the night of the double full moon.)

Talulah knew perfectly well what was in those so-called little notebooks. They were probably written by Xi again. One out of ten of those notebooks was about her and Meixue's pure love, while the other nine were all about how she cheated on her other sisters who married Meixue.

However, Talulah suddenly remembered something. She had been away on business the day before yesterday and yesterday. How could her bed at home have been damaged by the vibration? Moreover, Kroos had guaranteed that the bed could withstand four people moving around on it without any problems. How could it have broken so easily?

"Wait a minute, Nia, was anyone else at home besides your dad yesterday?"

“Hmm… Aunt Skadi came to see Dad, but I was in class at the time.”

Talulah had a string of "mmp"s running through her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say them. It was a bed she'd just bought! She hadn't even tried it on yet! And it belonged to her husband!

"You sleep by yourself, I have something to do and I'm going out for a bit."

Trying not to appear too angry, Talulah gave her daughter a gentle enough smile, then picked up her greatsword and left.

If I don't turn Skadi into dried salted fish today, she'll be gone for three months, no, three weeks... that's still too long. Three days without touching her... that won't do either. Three hours without touching Mei Xue! Yes! Three minutes!

Watching Talulah leave with a murderous aura, Su Mengyun was somewhat confused. Although she knew more than Cecilia, who was also seven years old at the time, she was still a child, and there were always some things that she didn't understand now.

However, there was one thing she was sure of: having too many aunts wasn't a good thing for her mother, but it was a great thing for her.

Because the amount of lucky money she receives every year during Chinese New Year is especially large! Not to mention Talulah's side, the lucky money given by those few particularly wealthy aunts alone is enough to cover Su Mengyun's snack expenses for a whole year, such as Swire, Margaret, Kal'tsit, and Zofia. However, the most generous one is Aunt Jessica, who has never been seen lacking money.

Su Mengyun is unaware that she will face similar troubles to Talulah in the future. In any case, as Mei Xue's eldest daughter, she believes that her father will always love her.

"Chirp~"

A warm breath came from her forehead, a familiar scent wafting into her nose. Su Mengyun immediately realized who it was, and happily opened her arms to hug Mei Xue's neck and snuggle against him.

"Dad~ Hehehe~ Why are you back? Didn't you say you were staying at Aunt Shining's tonight?"

"Your spirit is already asleep. I heard your mother came back, so I came to check on her. Where is she?"

Mei Xue looked around but didn't see the figure who had put the ring on her finger. The little fox's tail swayed, tempting Su Mengyun to reach out and scratch it. Most of Mei Xue's children resembled their mother, so not many inherited his fluffy, soft tails. For Su Mengyun and her other siblings, these were the best toys.

"Mom went to see Aunt Skadi."

"……OK then."

Mei Xue knew what was going on without being told. She scratched her head helplessly. She should have just taken a new bed from her tail and replaced it. She didn't expect Skadi to come looking for her. They were already married, so she couldn't refuse.

But she definitely can't go to Talulah and Skadi now, otherwise being caught in the middle will put Mei Xue in an awkward situation. It's hard to say which side to help. Both sides are her flesh and blood, and both are his wives.

Besides, Su Mengyun is holding him tightly now, clearly not wanting him to leave.

"Dad, tell me about your past, like your time in Da Yan. I just heard from Aunt Ling that you seem to have a lot of status in Da Yan. How many houses does our family own there?"

"Well... speaking of real estate, your Aunt Du has quite a lot. Dozens of restaurants in Shangshu belong to her. Your Aunt Chen also has quite a few. Your Aunt Lin has a house, which was given to me by Da Yan. As for me... I just have a hill."

After all, the entire Qingqiu Mountain belongs to Mei Xue, so no one will say anything if he wants to build as many houses on it as he wants.

"Dad, you were a bandit?"

"Um... if you count Aunt Blood Demon and Aunt Raphsini too."

Mei Xue thought about it. Miss Blood Demon had indeed been a cadre in Rusthammer, and Reed had also been a leader in Deeppool. They should be considered bandits, so Mei Xue had also been a bandit, which made sense! Moreover, he himself was the faith of Rusthammer, so he could be considered the god of bandits?

"I really couldn't tell."

Su Mengyun shook her head. Mei Xue looked harmless, but she was actually a mountain king. However, thinking about the group of aunties under Mei Xue's command who were very capable, it didn't seem so strange.

However, none of this mattered to Su Mengyun at the moment. She threw herself wholeheartedly into Mei Xue's embrace, affectionately nuzzling his waist, and smiling with pure bliss.

"Dad, I'll be taller than you soon!"

A devastating blow! Mei Xue shook her nine tails. "What happened to the promise that more tails would make you taller? Liars, you're all big liars!"

So many years have passed, and even Cecilia, who used to follow him around and sweetly call him Brother Meixue, has learned to lift Meixue up high every time they meet. Not to mention Rosemary, that cat. Only Lily of the Valley and his own sense of responsibility as a wife will give Meixue some face.

Seeing Mei Xue suddenly become dejected, Su Mengyun found it somewhat amusing. Mei Xue's adorable side always made people want to tease him, and even his daughters were no exception. Mei Xue thought this must be because she had been influenced by Talulah and the others in her daily life.

"Alright, alright, no matter how tall I get, I'm still your daughter."

She gently nuzzled Mei Xue's cheek, feeling a sense of satisfaction. She remembered that Kal'tsit had suspected that Talulah and the Doctor had switched babies. Su Mengyun's personality was neither as gentle and lovely as Mei Xue, nor as righteous and awe-inspiring as Talulah.

On the contrary, this girl's shrewd and quirky personality is just like that of the Doctor.

Talulah even considered asking if Meixue and the Doctor had an affair, and then she realized it was true, but the child was Meixue's; the Doctor's daughter was incredibly shrewd.

"By the way, Dad, Mom said I'll probably stay at a certain age someday. Will I be short like you?"

Looking at Su Mengyun, Mei Xue felt a pang of regret for the first time. Should she have advised Talulah to abort the child back then? Is it too late to travel back in time?

"I'd better go see your Aunt Surtr instead."

The next moment, before Su Mengyun could speak again, her hand had already fallen into the air, and Mei Xue disappeared in an instant, appearing in Surtr's arms, almost crying and saying that she wanted to grow taller.

"Wasn't this joke a bit too much...?"

Scratching his head, Su Mengyun was only seven years old after all. No matter how much she understood, she wasn't very mature. It was normal for her to be lively and active. To Talulah, she felt that this child was not like herself, but to Wei Yanwu, this child was exactly the same as Talulah when she was a child. Both of them were restless.

Back when Talulah was little, she would chase after Chen Huijie with a broom and beat him up if he insulted her. Moreover, her academic performance was rather poor; she spent a long time memorizing the multiplication tables.

In comparison, Su Mengyun, who can pass math, is considered well-behaved and exceptionally intelligent. This must be because Mei Xue has superior genes!

It wasn't time to sleep yet, so Su Mengyun thought for a moment and then took out her communicator and sent a message in the group chat.

Just like Talulah and others have their own group chat, Mei Xue's daughters also have a group chat. The group owner is Su Mengyun herself, who is the eldest sister. The group name is also very interesting: "Dad is not growing taller today."

Choosing this group name can effectively prevent Mei Xue from discovering the group chat, because the little fox is very distressed about his height, and his luck will subconsciously help him block out these bad messages.

Unfortunately, because her other siblings are still quite young, there are only three people in this group, including Su Mengyun, and she is the oldest one.

【Dad is so cute】: @My mom hasn't hit me for three days @Dad's tail is so nice, I want to touch it: Are you guys asleep?

[My mom hasn't hit me for three days]: I was just getting ready to sleep when my dad suddenly appeared in the bedroom. My mom threw me out and told me to go back to my room to sleep by myself. How awful! Why can't she leave me and sleep with my dad?

The Sarkaz girl with long red hair, carrying a pillow, glanced at the locked bedroom door and stomped angrily toward her room.

【Dad's tail is so nice, I want to touch it】; That's why you, little sister, are more likely to get spanked by Aunt Surtr, unlike me, I always sneak into bed while Dad is asleep.

The group consists of three people: Su Mengyun, Surtr's daughter Gloria, and Dr. Su's daughter Su Qingyao. Gloria is indeed just as arrogant as Surtr in terms of temperament, but she doesn't have Leivatin and can't beat her own mother.
