Talulah, I'm still a child.

The second time she felt uneasy was when she learned that the Steam Knights had been rescued by Mei Xue at great risk and placed in the Rusthammer Camp, and that she had even been injured and disappeared for a month in the process. She realized that she, as an unqualified crown princess, had done far too little compared to this little fox and the Doctor.

"Gawain, are you there?"

Neither the singing Agor hunter nor the little golden Volper girl who loved the wind were there. Vina looked to her side, and even though she couldn't see him, she knew Gawain was right beside her, the beast lord who had always been by Queen Victoria's side.

It's clear that Gao Wen knows Mei Xue, and even knows many secrets, but he's unwilling or afraid to say them.

"You want to ask him about something again?"

Gawain's voice came from the wind, but his figure was nowhere to be seen. According to Gawain himself, he had many old friends on Rhodes Island. In order to avoid being discovered and causing trouble, it was better to hide. The main reason was that if Mei Xue found out, he might not be able to keep his hair.

"...What exactly did he do in Victoria?"

Vina felt she had the right to know about this. Gawain obviously wouldn't tell her about the secrets buried in ancient history, but knowing these things was a way of repaying Mei Xue.

“I don’t know much about these things, Vina. When you were in that bar, you saw him, and he saw me… But I’m sure of one thing: with him backing you up, you could walk right into Lentinium and sit on the throne.”

Gawain's words carried an emotion that Vina couldn't discern, as if he were reminiscing or fearing.

"Neither Kal'tsit nor the Doctor understood what Mei Xue really represented."

"Judging from your expression, is this something you can say?"

"Of course not..."

Before he finished speaking, Gawain suddenly disappeared. Vina could sense that it wasn't as faint as before, but a true disappearance, or rather, that he had run far away. She didn't know what had frightened her like that, and Mei Xue wasn't on Rhodes Island either.

Just as Vina was wondering, Lily of the Valley, who was lying on the bed, smiled slightly, looked at herself in the mirror, touched her tail and rubbed her ears.

"Is this what a normal person's body is like? It feels pretty good."

While Linglan was asleep, Su Xue'er used her body to sense the outside world. She felt incredibly refreshed. The comfortable feeling made her almost not want to return her body. There was no curse, poison, or plague flowing in her blood, and she didn't have to endure the tearing and the pain that felt like tiny insects biting her heart all the time. This was the normal human body she longed for.

If there's anything to regret, it's probably that... the lily of the valley is just too small, not big enough.

"I should teach this little girl how to take care of her health later. If she's too flat-chested, her competitiveness will decrease. Hmm, but if she's too old, Mei Xue might not like her too much."

Lying gently on the bed, Su Xue'er thought that once she caught that golden lion again, she would make a new fur coat for Mei Xue. Her little fox would definitely love it! Although she was not as strong as before, it didn't matter. She still had all the necessary skills.

Chapter 359 Mei Xue Suffers Tragic Violation

The arrival of Rhodes Island in Kavaleria was originally an unremarkable event, but because of the small disturbance that Mei Xue caused in Kazimierz, both the Supervisory Council and the Commercial Federation had to take the matter seriously. If anyone was displeased with the little ancestor from Great Yan, who knew who would be the next to die?

Lin Qingyan has made his point very clear: Mei Xue is very sensible, well-behaved, and adorable. The little fox would never cause trouble on its own initiative. So it must be you Kazimierz who tried to harm my Great Yan Auspiciousness. You've suffered the consequences yourselves, so don't have the nerve to blame me!

As far as Rhodes Island is concerned, both the Supervisory Council and the Business Federation are eager to see the little fox as soon as possible.

Today, Mei Xue naturally came with Shining and the others to greet everyone. The Supervisory Council and the Commercial Federation both sent their representatives. The Unarmored Alliance could only send a Platinum-ranked member, which was a far cry from the Grand Knight Commander. Moreover, Miss Platinum looked sullen, probably because she found it annoying.

The board sent two spokespeople, one of whom was McKee, who had once had feelings for Viviana. Looking at the little fox holding its tail and comparing it to himself, a middle-aged man, he could only wish Viviana happiness in the future. After all, it was clear that she seemed to prefer someone like Mei Xue.

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. McKee. According to the board members, that person has no ill intentions towards us. At least... we are safe."

Charner always wore a business-like smile. He knew from the beginning how to maintain the status quo. They were just mouthpieces and spokespeople for the business alliance. No matter how nicely they spoke, they were just pawns that could be discarded at will.

The only saving grace was that the person named Mei Xue didn't seem to care about the assassination attempt. Perhaps in his eyes, it was more like the Originium Bugs trying to charge at the high-speed warship. At least the atmosphere hadn't gotten too bad.

"Attention all personnel, this ship is about to arrive at the port of call. There may be slight rocking during the berthing process. Please take good care of your fragile items..."

Rhodes Island's landship was different from any Ioleta had ever seen. It had no external cannons and was not as large as Ursus's high-speed warships. She estimated that it would only take a few Silver Spear Pegasus to destroy it. However, she had a feeling that this landship, which could travel freely between the countries of Terra, must have something special about it.

As the landing hatch opened, the first to appear were the Doctor, Amiya, and Kal'tsit, with Amiya surrounded by them, a subtle indication of their status.

"Line up!"

As Ioleta and Platinum gave the order, the Unarmored Assassins lined up behind the two spokespeople, while the knights lined up behind Ioleta, lining the way to welcome Rhodes Island's arrival. The last time such a courtesy was reserved for a high-ranking figure from Columbia.

But how could the Doctor and Kal'tsit not see it? It was Platinum, not the two spokespeople, who were commanding the Unarmored Alliance. The Doctor instantly understood the power structure of Kazimierz with the Overseer's strong aura and the subtle disdain for the Unarmored Alliance in their posture.

The Supervisory Council holds military power, and the Unarmored Alliance is subordinate to the Business Federation. The two guys standing at the front are probably just mouthpieces pushed out into the open. It seems that something interesting has happened in Kazimierz recently. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for the board of directors to only send two mouthpieces since the Grand Knight Commander has already made his appearance.

"They've come with ill intentions..."

Upon hearing the Doctor's words, Kal'tsit gave her a strange look and offered a timely reminder.

"We are the ones who came here."

Listening to their conversation, Amiya smiled awkwardly. She really hadn't expected that Kazimierz would value Rhodes Island so much, that even the famous Grand Knight Commander Ioleta had come to greet them.

The atmosphere became somewhat serious, and the little fox could only continue to wait helplessly. There were quite a few people standing behind Amiya, mostly girls who were lovesick for the little fox. If the doctor hadn't given a stern warning beforehand that they must not act recklessly, or at least not be impolite, they probably would have rushed over and lifted Mei Xue up high.

"Welcome, Miss Amiya."

As the person who best represented Kazimierz present, Ioleta walked up with a smile and shook hands with Amiya. She did not look down on Amiya because of her young age, but instead felt that Amiya had a bright future. However, she didn't know why the green film next to Amiya looked familiar.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to greet me, Ms. Ioleta."

Although still quite inexperienced, Amiya did a good job in terms of etiquette and made a good impression. Ioleta then introduced her to the two spokespeople sent by the Business Federation, but automatically skipped over Miss Platinum, since she couldn't just say that she was an Unarmored Assassin.

Mei Xue was sandwiched between Ghost Shark and Lin Qingyan. In public, Shining and Viviana remained quite reserved. However, Viviana could clearly feel the hatred in the eyes of the Rhodes Island girls, especially the red-haired Sarkaz. Although he looked ordinary, Viviana felt that he was dangerous.

The reception between the two sides did not last long. After all, Rhodes Island still had a lot of work to do. Ioleta only said that she would definitely invite them to visit when she had time. The Business Federation only said that they would cooperate after Rhodes Island settled down. They even gave Rhodes Island the initiative in arranging the meeting, making it unclear for a moment who was the host.

"Brother Meixue~"

Of course, compared to the older sisters, Cecilia was not so reserved. She took small steps and almost flew towards the little fox's arms, which startled Mei Xue so much that she stretched out all her tails to catch her and prevent her from falling and getting hurt.

"Brother, I miss you~"

Cecilia affectionately nuzzled Mei Xue's cheek and then simply clung to her, making everyone's eyelids twitch; they hadn't expected her to beat them to it.

But getting angry with Cecilia would be too petty. Everyone calmed down a bit and didn't think too much about it. However, the people from Kazimierz who hadn't left yet were a little confused by this scene. They silently memorized Cecilia's face and planned to check her identity when they got back, since she could call Mei Xue her brother and sister.

However, Specter was in a rather awkward position, especially when faced with Skadi's resentful and aggrieved gaze. To be honest, Skadi was quite pitiful. She had liked Mei for so long, but first she was kicked out of the mental network she used for communication by Amaya, and then her best friend beat her to it. Poor Skadi.

But when Skadi saw Amiya over there, her mood immediately improved. Oh well, she wasn't the worst off.

"Don't do that again. It's dangerous. Falling will hurt a lot and may leave unsightly scars."

When it comes to doting on Cecilia, even Felia, Cecilia's biological mother, probably couldn't compare to the little fox. As for Mei Xue, there are many uncles, many brothers, many friends, and countless sisters on Rhodes Island, but she only has one sister.

So whatever Cecilia needed, the little fox would give her. Even without Cecilia saying a word, Mei Xue would accurately capture her emotions and coax and play with her.

"Brother will definitely catch me!"

It had been quite a while since they'd seen each other, and Cecilia showed no sign of letting go, making everyone anxious, especially Rosemary. Little Cat now wished she could grab Mei Xue and drag her back to her dorm, but of course, with so many people watching, she couldn't be too forceful.

"You wouldn't be jealous of a little girl like that, would you?"

Seeing Rosemary's resentful expression and clenched fists, Huang gently tapped her head with a hint of helplessness. Although it was a good thing that Rosemary could have strong emotions, this little cat's feelings for Mei Xue were too extreme.

"But I'm still a little girl."

Rosemary covered her head with some dissatisfaction and looked at Huang, or rather Huang's chest, this part was a pain in her heart and the hearts of Suzuran and others.

"You still know you're a young girl, huh?"

Huang didn't know what to say. She had also read Rosemary's notebook, and after reading it, she stood there stunned for several hours before she recovered. This little cat was too scary.

As soon as the representatives from Kazimierz left, Mei Xue was surrounded by the girls from Rhodes Island. Cecilia was picked up by Surtr and handed to Felia. Without her presence, everyone became a little more unrestrained.

"Meixue, I miss you so much!"

"Are you doing well here? Have you been bullied?"

"Is it just my imagination? I feel like I've grown a little taller."

"Mei Xue, waaaaah... I was here first, how could you let the shark eat me?"

Surrounded by people, Mei Xue had difficulty speaking for a moment and didn't know whose question to answer first. The little fox only had one mouth, and there were at least twenty people surrounding him.

Everyone says that too many people can lead to chaos, and Mei Xue learned that lesson the hard way today. Before the little fox could even react, it suddenly felt a hand slip inside its clothes and slide down, eventually touching the base of Mei Xue's tail.

"Gumi!"

The little fox suddenly blushed, grabbed its tail, and jumped up, but before it could jump very high, it was pressed back down by some inexplicable force. After doing this, Rosemary grabbed Meixue's tail and rubbed it without any politeness. So the rest of the people simply stopped acting and surrounded Meixue one by one.

"Wait, don't touch the tail! Don't bite the ears, woof!"

"Don't pull on Mei Xue's newly changed clothes!"

"Sister, stop! Don't untie Meixue's belt!"

"Eek! Ugh!"

Seeing Mei Xuelu's tail outside suddenly straighten and then go limp, Lin Qingyan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and lightning gathered in his hand. Kal'tsit's face darkened.

"M3!"

A ferocious beast flashed past Kal'tsit's shadow. The appearance of M3 caused everyone to scatter in a hurry. Lin Qingyan's lightning also slid down their feet, almost making Huang lose his temper.

Mei Xue, who had been surrounded, collapsed to the ground, her face flushed, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes. Her clothes were disheveled; her newly changed black stockings were torn, revealing a lot of alluring skin. Her tail and hair were messy, and there were traces of lipstick on her face and neck. She looked exactly like she had just been...

In the past, people might have frowned and thought those guys were being inconsiderate when they saw Mei Xue like this. But now, seeing Mei Xue like this, all the women except Cecilia have only one thought in their minds: Why are her pants still on?

The little fox's pitiful appearance, with its tail caught, made it unable to stand up for a moment, and it was easy to evoke people's protective instincts. However, for the group of fans who had been thinking about him for a long time, it might have a different effect.

"Meixue, let me help you up!"

Rosemary rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward when Huang grabbed her by the collar and hoisted her up.

"Do you think we Rhodes Island operators would believe your nonsense? You tore Mei Xue's stockings."

Although I don't know who started it, Rosemary must have been the one who made the most noise; the hole in Mei Xue's stockings was left by her.

Skadi silently put away Mei Xue's belt, and was about to step forward to help Mei Xue up when Chen Huijie beat her to it.

"Waaah... Sister."

Mei Xue, who was experiencing such inhumane treatment for the first time, buried her head in Chen Huijie's arms and almost cried. The little fox herself was not injured, but she felt that her already little self-esteem had been further diminished. She hugged Chen Huijie with a wronged expression and was unwilling to let go.

Viviana was completely dumbfounded. Although Nearl had told her about the Rhodes Island group of people obsessed with plum blossoms, she never expected that these guys would actually do something like this.

"Alright, alright, Meixue, don't cry, sweetie. Let me give you a kiss."

Chen Huijie gave the little fox a kiss on the cheek, rubbed Mei Xue's head, and then glanced triumphantly at the girls behind her. Only Surtr and Mostima had managed to hold back from going forward, while Skadi and Blaze were really itching to do so.

"Sister, my stockings are ruined..."

"It's okay, you can wear mine later."

"But my belt is gone too."

"It's okay, you'll have to take it off later... oops, I mean, you can put it back on later."

In a moment of slip of the tongue, Chen Huijie blurted out her true feelings. A little embarrassed, she avoided the disdainful looks of the crowd and helped Mei Xue wipe off the lipstick stains. However, her fur and tail would need to be groomed again later.
