Talulah, I'm still a child.

The little fox wagged its tail and looked at Red. It had thought that Red liked to use band-aids like Kroos, but it turned out that Red was dressed properly. Indeed, it was rare to see someone like Kroos.

Speaking of Kroos, Mei Xue and the others had almost arrived at her shop. You could tell from the door that Kroos was very happy, with a bright smile on her face, constantly typing on the computer and making entries in the ledger.

"We've made a fortune! Hehehe, time for a big year-end sales push!"

Looking at the bright black words and amounts on the ledger, Kroos was overjoyed. Rhodes Island's finances had never been very good before, and her convenience store was also struggling. Now, with so much money coming in, Kroos's eyes were practically turning into LMD.

"Sister Kroos, you're drooling~"

"ah!!"

The sudden appearance of Mei Xue startled Kroos, causing her to fall to the ground. Kroos did not deny that she liked Mei Xue, but as someone who had been exhausted twice by Mei Xue on the night of the double full moon, she also had an almost instinctive fear of the little fox. She was afraid that she would be bewitched by the little fox again and be tormented to the point of near death, which was too unbearable.

However, since she was not very active, and after this fall, Kroos was only wearing a shirt, which completely exposed some parts that shouldn't have been exposed to Mei Xue Xiao Ke and Hong. The little fox couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Hong noticed Mei Xue's gaze, glanced at her chest and lower body, and then decided to go back and use a band-aid as well.

But actually, Mei Xue was just curious. In this kind of weather, without air conditioning, was Kroos as cold-resistant as him? Otherwise, wouldn't he be very cold wearing only these clothes? Could it be that he didn't have money to buy new clothes? Indeed, Amiya had told her that Rhodes Island used to be short of funds, so Kroos always complained about being poor.

In just a few seconds, Mei Xue conjured up a complete story in her mind: Kroos had cut back on personal expenses to keep Rhodes Island's finances in order to maintain cash flow, and she was even unwilling to buy new clothes, which led to her current habit. The little fox was almost moved to tears by the little story she had imagined.

"Don't look!"

Kroos noticed Mei Xue's gaze. Although she didn't know that the little fox's eyes held pity, heartache, and sympathy, she quickly grabbed her shirt to cover herself and got up, vowing in her heart that she would never wear such clothes for comfort again!

"Ahem... What are you doing here?"

Kroos coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, trying to pretend nothing had happened. Fortunately, Xiao Ke, Hong, and Mei Xue all had different values ​​than normal people, so they didn't ask any more questions.

The little fox just felt that Kroos was really working hard. She had just coughed, probably because she was wearing too little clothing and the weather was cold, so she caught a cold. In comparison, although she was also a member of Rhodes Island, she seemed to just eat, drink, play and have fun, and didn't really help much.

"Sister Krushir, please take good care of your health."

"What the hell?"

Faced with Mei Xue's concern, Kroos felt a little confused. She thought to herself that she was quite healthy. Although she was a technician, Kroos's blood demon constitution made her more resistant to cold than others. Moreover, mechanical repair was also a physically demanding job. If she were just an ordinary homebody, how could she have become the chief engineer and designer of Rhodes Island?

"It's nothing, I just hope that Sister Kroos can take good care of herself. She's already wearing very little, and catching a cold would be really tough."

The fact that she was dressed so scantily made Kroos's lips twitch. Damn it, it would have been better if Mei Xue hadn't said anything, because now that she did, she felt like the little fox was hinting at something. But looking at the concerned look in Mei Xue's eyes, she couldn't say that the little fox had any other bad intentions. No, Mei Xue wasn't that kind of person.

"I'm perfectly healthy, so you don't need to worry about me. You two can take whatever you want except for that stupid dog over there. Anyway, I can't take your money."

Mei Xue is, after all, the darling of Rhodes Island. Moreover, including the time in Babel Tower, Kroos has had sex with him dozens of times. It's impossible for her to accept money under such a relationship. But Xiao Ke is different. Once she lets go of this silly dog, he can eat her entire warehouse!

"Okay then, Xiao Ke, you go wait for me outside."

To prevent Kroos from losing control and stealing food, Mei Xue had no choice but to let her go out first, then wagged her tail and looked at Kroos.

"I came to pick up my swimsuit. The professor said to just look for you, sister."

Upon hearing the word "swimsuit," Hong's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she let go of his hand and went to the clothing section to see if she could find something suitable to wear.

"Well... I did prepare one for you, but how should I put it, I'll deliver it to your dorm later."

Kroos felt a little awkward about this. Although everyone was eager to devour Mei Xue during the meeting, no one could say for sure whether Mei Xue would object to their decision. After all, the swimsuits recommended by the Doctor were really... Kroos tried one on, and it was too exciting.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Lucille could feel Mei Xue staring at her from head to toe without restraint. She felt a vague unease. Although Mei Xue was always well-behaved, sensible, and cute, she was still quite experienced. What if she became interested in what had just happened when Lucille had accidentally exposed herself? After all, the little fox didn't know how to choose her place. Last time in the monitoring room, she and the Doctor were completely exhausted. If Mei Xue wanted to be here, it would be terrible.

"Alright then, and also... um, do you need money, sister?"

If the Doctor had asked the question, Kroos would have nodded vigorously, but coming from Mei Xue, it only made Kroos instinctively hug her shoulders and take a small step back.

"What are you going to do? Let me make this clear first. Although I feel very comfortable, here... even if it's Mei Xue, you can't use money."

No one knew what was going on in Kroos's mind. Mei Xue glanced at her clothes, which were indeed thin, but in Kroos's eyes, it had a different meaning. Although she didn't mind having fun with Mei Xue, there were often people coming to the supermarket, and if she was exposed, she would have nowhere to hide her face.

Mei Xue didn't intend to dwell on the topic any further. The little fox took out a gold-brown bank card, a special card issued in Kazimierz, from its tail and placed it on the table.

"There's probably around twenty million in here, I..."

"I'm okay in any position!"

Before Mei Xue could finish speaking, Kroos grabbed the bank card from the table and put it in the drawer as if afraid the little fox would change her mind, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

"So, shall we stay here or go somewhere else? Should I change my clothes? I thought that swimsuit I wore the other day was pretty nice."

Seeing the infatuated smile on Kroos's face, Mei Xue felt that she must have misunderstood something, but the little fox scratched his head and couldn't figure out what was wrong with his words. He shook his head.

"Sister, just remember to bring my swimsuit to your dorm. The money in that card is for you to buy more clothes, and the rest is yours too. You must take good care of yourself."

However, blinded by money, Kroos completely misunderstood Mei Xue's meaning. Sending a swimsuit to Mei Xue's dormitory? Oh, the little fox must be hinting that she should go over tonight and buy more clothes? It seems Mei Xue wants to try out the dress-up game.

Putting everything else aside, just based on the bank card Mei Xue gave her, even if both moons were full tonight, Korohir would still dare to walk into Mei Xue's dormitory!

Chapter 364 Kroos Begs for Mercy

"Oh no, I can't figure it out at all."

Looking at the metal box in her hand, Miss Nian felt for the first time that materials science was a tricky subject. The weapon that Mei Xue had entrusted her to repair had been taken care of, and the main problem now was the silver iron box that Skadi had brought back from Drip Village.

The hardness and melting point of this thing are ridiculously high. Skadi hit it with her greatsword and it didn't react at all, but instead dulled the sword. Even at a temperature of over 4,000 degrees Celsius, it didn't react at all. It is completely non-conductive and even non-conductive to heat. You can heat one side up as much as you want, but the other side still feels ice-cold to the touch.

After exhibiting so many key features, the box's weight is barely more than a piece of paper. This is not only unbelievable, it's enough to drive scientists across the entire Terra world crazy.

"What kind of material is this?"

Years later, the box was shaken but no sound came out, making people wonder if there was anything inside.

Although she held the power of forging in the Great Yan Dynasty and could even create substances that Terra didn't have using unbelievable methods, the metal box left behind by Mei Xue was baffling just because of its material, let alone how to open it.

Logically speaking, it would have been most appropriate for Mei Xue to hand over her things to him. Even though the little fox has lost his memory, he must have left some other backup plans.

But no one dared to gamble. No one knew what was in the box that would make Mei Xue plant a Destruction Mushroom next to it. Originally, everyone thought they should at least know what was inside first, but now they couldn't even open it. It was too discouraging.

"This box seems to be completely unresponsive to the outside world. Its material composition is unknown. It is clearly made of metal, but its density is similar to that of plastic. I really wonder where Mei Xue got the material from."

As an outstanding engineer and elite operator at Rhodes Island, Mechanist was also very curious about how Mei Xue had managed to get her hands on such a thing, as it completely contradicted any of the theories he had learned.

"Who knows? Anyway, his tail has all sorts of things. Otherwise, do you think that blue fat cat from the East that loves to eat dorayaki got its inspiration from some legend?"

Nian scratched her head helplessly. Even she couldn't figure out the metal box, let alone others. There was probably no other way but to return it to Mei Xue, which was a real headache.

"Never mind, I'll go ask Kal'tsit tomorrow if we should return this thing to Mei Xue."

The research was making no progress, and continuing like this would only be a waste of time. However, the final decision still had to be made by Kal'tsit and the doctor. Nian and the Mechanist put the box in the safe and locked it. Just as they were about to go back to rest, Nian sensed something and couldn't help but open the safe again to take a look. Only after confirming that the box was still there did she leave.

As Nian walked down the corridor, he originally wanted to go to Mei Xue's dormitory to ask the little fox if she needed to add some other small functions to the weapon. However, after seeing the bright and full double moon hanging high in the sky, the scene of his sister being exhausted in the past came to mind, making Nian shake his head. Damn it, he had forgotten that tonight was the night of the double full moon. Going to Mei Xue would be courting death.

It's strange, even though everyone knows that Mei Xue becomes terrifying on the night of a double full moon, they still subconsciously don't consciously remember which day is a double full moon. For example, Kroos only realized what day it was when she stood at the door of Mei Xue's dormitory, and she was on the verge of tears.

"Why is my mouth so foul?"

Kroos was almost in tears. Why was it her again? If you count tonight, this is the third time she has run into Mei Xue's Double Moon. The first two times she almost died at the hands of the little fox. Is tonight the day she, Kroos, dies?

"Oh no, no, Kroos, you have to believe in yourself. Mei Xue usually goes to bed early at times like this. Just sneak in, put your things away, and leave!"

Glancing at the large box beside her, Kroos suppressed her fear and told herself that Mei Xue wasn't scary right now. Although she really wanted to turn around and leave, she had to put these things in first, right? As for the special services Mei Xue had paid 20 million for, well, she could just make him pay double later, or at most... call a helper to come along.

That's right, there's no need to be afraid at all. Anyway, Mei Xue must be sleeping right now. Hmm, Kroos will definitely be able to crawl out of Mei Xue's dormitory alive!

Having made up her mind, Kroos was about to reach out and open Mei Xue's dormitory door, but the door opened by itself before her hand could reach it. Mei Xue, wearing only a nightgown, gently wagged her tail and looked at her curiously. That gaze that could make one's bones melt only made Kroos feel a chill down her spine. This was not what was agreed upon!

"Sister Kroos, what have you been doing standing at the door for so long?"

Mei Xue gently licked the corner of his mouth. He had just sensed that someone had been standing at his door all along, but he had been busy taking a bath and drying his tail so he hadn't paid much attention. Little Ke and Red weren't there either, and the little fox felt rather lonely. And then, Kroos came to his door on her own.

"I... haha, I'm here to bring you swimsuits, here they are."

Her smile was more like a grimace. Cocoyel tried desperately to calm herself. Her mind was being constantly seduced by Mei Xue, but her body betrayed her fear, her legs trembling uncontrollably. What kind of mess had she made?

"Are there really that many?"

Looking at the box, which was almost as tall as Kroos, Mei Xue was a little surprised. He thought there would be at most one or two items. The Doctor is indeed the Doctor; he has thought of everything.

"Yes, yes, I'll head back now that the goods have been delivered..."

Before Kroos could finish speaking, Mei Xue's tail had already quietly wrapped around her thigh. The unusual sensation made Kroos unable to hold back and she knelt down before Mei Xue, hugging the little fox's leg and bursting into tears.

"Waaaaah! Mei Xue! It was my fault! Please, please let me go! I'm still young, I don't want to die!"

This put Mei Xue at a loss. The little fox twitched its fox ears, never expecting that Kroos would back down so quickly. Just now, it only thought that Kroos might be too cold and wanted to warm her up with its tail. Why did it suddenly turn into a life-or-death situation?

"Sister, get up quickly! I'm not a man-eating fox spirit, what are you afraid of?"

"Do you think I don't know if you're capable of eating people? I've been on your bed dozens of times! Last time I almost lost my life in the surveillance room!"

"But wasn't it you and the doctor who absolutely refused to stop that time?"

Mei Xue scratched her head. Although she did seem to have really tormented Kroos and the Doctor quite a bit last time, it wasn't the little fox who forced them. Mei Xue had given them the initiative.

"Stop talking...I'm leaving now!"

Kroos could clearly smell the floral scent on Mei Xue's body gradually becoming stronger. If she stayed any longer, she would really have to crawl. No, she might not even be able to leave Mei Xue's dormitory alive.

Before Mei Xue turned into that deadly little devil, Kroos decided to leave immediately and lock the door behind her!

Seeing her panic and even bump her head against the wall, Mei Xue wondered if Kroos should see a doctor for her mental state. The little fox casually stuffed the whole box of swimsuits into her tail and went back to her room.

Tonight is indeed a night of two full moons, but it's not quite what everyone imagined. Mei Xue didn't become the seductive and alluring person she used to be. The little fox just felt a bit sleepy and somewhat lonely, so he was planning to sleep with Chen Huijie or Mostima.

Of course, the two of them knew what day it was tonight, so they just made up some excuse to get away with it.

Am I that scary?

With her snow-white tail swaying slightly, Mei Xue felt incredibly bored sleeping alone. She suddenly understood what emptiness, loneliness, and coldness meant; she hadn't felt this way before.

Just as Mei Xue was wondering, his gaze fell on a silver metal box that had appeared on his bedside table at some point. It was quiet, as if it had always been there, but Mei Xue did not remember ever having such a box.

"Where did it come from?"

Mei Xue picked up the box and shook it gently. He could hear a sound, but he didn't plan to open it. It would be too impolite to open it casually if it was something someone else had left in his room.

The little fox thought for a moment, then took out its communicator, took a picture, and posted it in Rhodes Island's group chat.

【Mei Xue is going to grow taller today】: @All members, whose box is this? It's stuck with Mei Xue.

[Ah Pu Lu Pai]: Never seen this before, what's inside?

[Meixue is going to grow taller today]: I don't know. My sister said good children shouldn't touch other people's things without permission, and Meixue hasn't opened any yet.

【I can do it】: I don’t see any gaps in this box. Can this thing be opened?

[Can Texas do it?] Haha, I don't know whose box it is, but Mei Xue is mine!

Amiya, I'm sorry: You're mine!
