Talulah, I'm still a child.

After all, she's already so old, and it's not a good idea for her to stay at home and live off her parents any longer. Although Mei Xue doesn't mind supporting her indefinitely, it's impossible. In fact, Mei Xue is very anxious about Xi's lack of growth. He's so busy that he's counting down the months.

"Well, this is really boring... I guess I'll just have to find a way to make a living."

Of course, Nian knew that Ling wanted to spend some time alone with Mei Xue, but she couldn't do anything about it. Mei Xue was currently closest to Ling, and with this eldest sister watching over her, the younger sisters had no chance at all. Not only Nian, but her second and third sisters also had those kinds of feelings for Mei Xue, and all of this was because this eldest sister, Ling, had started it.

"I'm back~"

Mei Xue's voice suddenly came from the doorway. Nian, who had been looking depressed with a "this world is so dark" expression, instantly perked up and was about to pounce when Ling's tail wrapped around his calf and threw him away.

Mei Xue was already used to this kind of family comedy. She wagged her tail helplessly, picked up the groceries, and went straight into the kitchen, but then she realized that something was not quite right.

"Where is Xi?"

Under normal circumstances, Xi should have called out "Dad" and obediently rushed over to hug her tail by now, but she didn't even make a sound.

When Xi heard Mei Xue calling her, she instinctively wanted to run home, but she suppressed the impulse. She was going to run away from home, so how could she be so indecisive!

"This person is probably in their own room..."

"?"

"Oh, Dad, don't look at me like that. I just... accidentally ate all her snacks, so she was probably a little angry. After she came out and talked to your sister about something, she went back to her room."

She lacked confidence, even to the point of being timid. No matter how confident or indifferent she was when facing others, she was always a child when facing Mei Xue. On the night she grew up half a year ago, the first person she went to was Mei Xue. They talked a lot. She didn't acknowledge Mei Xue as her stepmother, but she always respected her. She called Mei Xue "father" willingly.

The little fox thought for a moment, then pulled out an ordinary-looking ruler from its tail.

"!!!"

Out of physiological instinct, fear made him take several steps back after the New Year and subconsciously cover his buttocks.

"Dad...no, Father, I was wrong! Don't hit me! Ouch!"

Hearing the wails coming from the room, Xi squatted behind the house, secretly pleased. She knew that Mei Xue would not favor anyone in this matter. Rather, it was more accurate to say that her youngest daughter was more favored. After Nian grew up, Mei Xue had obviously developed some distance from her and was not like before.

Seeing his good sister, who was working part-time as a half-daughter, being pushed on the thigh by Mei Xue and spanked, Ling just took a sip of wine and tried to lower his presence so as not to be spanked tonight too.

After giving Nian a dozen or so hard blows, Mei Xue put Nian down and put the ruler away. Then she went to find her youngest daughter, Xi. Xi was still young and easily got angry and got stuck on certain things.

"Xi, where is my... my daughter?"

As soon as Mei Xue pushed open the door, he found the room almost as empty as when it was first built. There was no sign of Xi, but there was a letter on the floor, so he picked it up, opened it, and read it, and then…

"Order! You're sleeping alone tonight. No, I'm going to spend the rest of the year sleeping outside!"

"ah?!!?!"

(Is Dad going to spend the night outside?)

Xi subconsciously understood it this way, so she wouldn't need to sneak into the room tonight; she could just wait outside for Mei Xue to come out!

And so, Xi Bao really did wait outside like a fool all night.

But in reality, Mei Xue was just angry and not worried about her daughter's safety at all. After all, Xi had always been under his protection and nothing could happen to her. She was just unhappy about Ling's inaction and Nian's teasing of his sister.

Because he had upset Mei Xue, Ling would have to sleep in a room by herself for a long time. The little fox was quite happy to have some peace and quiet. Actually, he knew very well that Xi was probably hiding behind the house. This was the tenth time that girl had run away from home, and each time she would hide behind the house waiting for Mei Xue to find her and bring her back.

However, Mei Xue is waiting for her to go back by herself tomorrow. If she were to be carried back directly, she would definitely feel embarrassed, since this child can be stubborn at times.

Back in her room, Mei Xue locked all the doors and windows, completely thwarting Nian and Ling's plans to sneak over. She then lay down peacefully and had a good night's sleep.

Then the next day...

"Father! You're lying to me!"

Clutching the blanket that belonged to Nian that had inexplicably appeared on her last night, Xi looked sullen, while Mei Xue, who was making breakfast, looked completely bewildered.

How did I lie to you?

“You and Mom had a fight yesterday and agreed to spend the night outside. I even prepared a sack and rope! But we waited outside all night and didn’t see anyone!”

Xi puffed up her chubby cheeks, looking very unhappy.

"I've even planned to knock my father unconscious and elope with him!"

After listening to his daughter's words, Mei Xue turned around and thought about it with mixed feelings. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his parenting approach, but why did his daughters all have this mentality, trying to kidnap him?

"So it seems like he's reached the rebellious phase after all..."

Mei Xue took out the ruler from her tail, and her expression became extremely cold.

"In that case, we can beat them up."

And so, on that day, it was the roar of the fierce dragon that awakened the Reiwa era.

Chapter 381 Mei Xue Misunderstood Something Terrible

On the third day of their trip, Mei Xue and Talulah wanted to buy some souvenirs for everyone, not just the girls from Rhodes Island, but also everyone from the Reunion Movement.

The little fox is very rich, or rather, he has no concept of money at all, because his tail is more unreasonable than a money printing machine. Even if you're printing money, you still need raw materials, right? Mei Xue just needs to make sure that the serial numbers aren't the same. Even if Lungmen currency isn't as widely circulated in Kjerag, red gold should still be real.

Turikam, a small city, is the territory of the Shivaesh family and the biggest beneficiary of the Sherag open policy. Although it is far from being truly modern, Talulah could sense that the head of the Shivaesh family must have great ambitions, whether in urban planning and construction or in foreign trade.

"You have excellent taste, sir. This is an amulet blessed by our Snow God, Yeragand. The evergreen tree used in it was taken from the summit of Jungfrau, the second highest mountain in our Shelag. It is said to be formed from Yeragand's tears. Wearing this amulet will surely ward off evil and bring good luck to your family as well."

Listening to the shopkeeper's tireless sales pitch to Mei Xue, Talulah suddenly wanted to laugh. Putting aside the question of what divine protection could possibly come from for a fifty-pound amulet, even if it did, it was just too ridiculous for the shopkeeper to talk about such things in front of Mei Xue.

Who is Mei Xue? She is an auspicious creature officially recognized by the Great Yan Dynasty, possessing immense fortune. She can determine the weather with a single word and change the fate of others with a single thought. She is a divine beast who can pick up money while walking. This amulet is worthless to her; the amulet that the little fox made herself is far more useful.

Even if it wasn't a talisman made by Mei Xue herself, buying one from any fox spirit temple in Da Yan would be more effective than this thing, and the key is that it's cheaper, only five yuan each.

Setting the price of this amulet at fifty pounds is a rip-off for tourists; things in tourist areas are always ridiculously expensive.

"But Sister Encia said that no one has ever climbed the Jungfrau before. Boss, you can't lie to a child."

For once, the little fox was quite clever. Before coming, he asked Encia a lot about Sherag, such as which mountain had the best scenery and which places were good for taking pictures.

But the shop owner was clearly surprised to hear that familiar name from this customer. His hands trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the item.

"This guest...you know Miss Encia?"

“I recognize her. She’s the one who told me I could buy things here.”

The little fox wagged its tail very diligently and even took out the family crest given to it by Enshia. However, the shopkeeper was on the verge of tears. If he had known that this customer was related to the second young lady of the Shivaesh family, he would never have dared to deceive her like this. To put it bluntly, this amulet had only been blessed by the Manjusaka family, and the material was just wood cut from a random mountain.

"Well then... since you're the Second Miss's friend, I won't take your money. Consider this amulet a gift for you."

"Oh, I can't possibly accept that. I was planning to buy more, so please pack one for me... um, five hundred, no, how about a thousand!"

Mei Xue pondered for a moment and gave a rough number, because there were quite a few people on Rhodes Island, including his sisters, his little followers, and patients. Of course, he couldn't forget the more than three hundred Siren lolis. He hadn't had time to tell them about the little fox's travel plans yet, so he would go find them when he entered his dreams tonight.

"...Sir, are you...doing wholesale?"

The boss was also stunned by Mei Xue's generosity. Goodness, everyone else comes here to shop, but you're here to stock up, right? I just said it was free, and you've already given me a big surprise.

"No, I'm giving them away. A thousand should be enough."

Actually, one is enough. As long as Mei Xue puts it in the tail once, he can take out the same item an unlimited number of times. But then it wouldn't feel like a souvenir.

"But the quantity you requested is too much, and I really can't provide it here. How about this, you come back in a couple of days, and I'll go and get the goods today."

"That's fine."

The little fox nodded, then hopped over to Talulah's side, took her arm, and walked outside. As they walked, you could hear the little fox muttering something like, "This sales technique is far inferior to Croissant's," but it was speaking in the Great Yan language, which only Talulah could understand.

In Sherag, a place where the electrification rate is lower than the literacy rate, naturally no one recognized Mei Xue, the auspicious omens of the Great Yan, nor did anyone know Talulah, the Dela whom the entire Ursus nobility hated with a passion.

But putting aside Talulah's innate leadership qualities, Mei Xue alone is attractive enough. No one but the little fox would dare to dress like that in this weather. The little fox is quite cute, and for the Sherag people, it's probably the first time they've seen someone with six tails like him. Along the way, they could feel quite a few curious glances.

In the past, Mei Xue would have quickened her pace to leave at times like this, but now that Talulah was with her, she wasn't so scared. The little fox obediently held onto her hand to prevent her sister from losing her.

Talulah would never lose her beloved fox, but she was arrogant and smug. Anyone could see how protective she was of Mei Xue, practically holding up a sign to tell all of humanity that this was her little brother, the cutest little fox in the world, her current boyfriend, and her future husband.

As they walked and looked around, Mei Xue was still thinking about what to buy for everyone. Little Fox felt that Sherag was really backward, as there were no health products for sale here. He was even thinking of buying some for Patriot and Herag, the two old men.

"Don't overthink it. They haven't finished the health supplements you sold them last time. Besides, they're in good health now and don't need them."

Seeing what Mei Xue was thinking, Talulah pinched his cheek. In fact, the health products that the little fox bought back were not fake. It was just that they were really unnecessary for Patriot and Hellagur, especially Patriot. Every time the old man received something that the little fox sent back to him, he would be moved to tears and almost cried several times.

However, the letter that Mei Xue sent back was not something that Alina and Frostnova were happy about. The little fox's happy life on Rhodes Island was a bitter pill for the two girls to swallow. Miss Mudrock, on the other hand, said that she was in a stable mood. She and Mei Xue had a good relationship, but not to the point of being jealous. She just had a great love for Nendoroids.

"What else should I give to make Grandpa Patriot happy?"

"Well..."

Talulah thought about it for a moment. Actually, Patriot was quite easy to understand. The old man didn't have many hobbies and always enjoyed a leisurely life. When he had nothing to do, he would go to Hrag to play chess and drink tea, and talk about his children's future marriages. Although Mei Xue was not his biological daughter, the old man had long regarded Mei Xue as his junior.

When Talulah arrived, she heard that the old man was planning to matchmake Grandpa Herag's adopted daughter with Mei Xue, so that they could solve the problem of Nain being unwanted by everyone.

However, the old man originally planned to find Mei Xue a partner from Ni Yan and Zao Lu, but the little fox treated everyone as her older sister, so her relationship with Ni Yan and the others was just that of good friends.

Thinking of this, Talulah couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, joking with Mei Xue.

"I think if you can win over your Mudrock Sister and Early Dew Sister, Patriot will be very happy."

"Take it down?"

"It's about making them willing to play those kinds of games with you."

The little fox understood now, but unlike Talulah's joking attitude, he took it seriously. Perhaps it was because the little fox had been unusually lively lately that Talulah forgot that her little brother was originally a silly fox who wasn't very good at using his brain.

Moreover, for Mei Xue, what Talulah, as her older sister, said was absolute truth. Even if Talulah pointed to the sun and told Mei Xue that it rose in the west, Mei Xue would not necessarily think that she couldn't distinguish between east, west, south, and north, but she would most likely think that the sun had simply gone astray.

So... someone's going to be in trouble. Well, it's not exactly bad luck, anyway, Talulah regretted it later, but that's another story.

Besides buying souvenirs, the siblings also planned to visit other places today. They heard that the holy mountain of Shelag is a very nice place, but the locals value it too much. Although outsiders can also visit the holy mountain, they cannot break the rules and must step over it one step at a time. The area at the foot of the holy mountain is the territory of the Perroch family, so it can only be said that their attitude towards outsiders is rather cold.

Moreover, it was already past noon, and Mei Xue and Talulah hadn't eaten yet. If they really walked step by step to the Holy Mountain, it would probably be dark by then. So after thinking about it for a while, they decided not to go to the Holy Mountain, at least not now.

To put it bluntly, the two of them were just looking for something new. Talulah and Meixue didn't really care about any sacred mountain or anything like that. The Great Yan had already designated the little fox's residence as public property, and Meixue herself didn't have any objections.

"Well?"

Mei Xue's ears twitched slightly, and she turned her gaze to a spot not far away. There stood a person in the place where the little fox's gaze fell. Talulah noticed the person as well, or rather, she couldn't help but notice him.

She was a tall Caprini woman with long golden hair and larger, curved horns than many of her kind. She was beautiful, but anyone who saw her would be attracted by her unique aura the moment they saw her.

Her looks didn't matter anymore; she was a warrior, a warrior of unparalleled strength. Talulah's intuition told her that this was definitely a worthy opponent. Although she wouldn't dare say she was invincible, since she was called a tyrant, her strength was naturally formidable. She never expected that someone in Sherag could make her feel threatened.

"Mei Xue, do you know her?"

"I know him, I've seen his photo, and he looks somewhat familiar."

When Mei Xue says the word "somewhat familiar," it usually means that she has met him before; otherwise, Mei Xue, who suffers from amnesia, would not have any recollection of him.

While in Kazimierz, the little fox was bored, so he wandered around with Miss Gravel and Miss Platinum. Of course, he had seen the champion exhibition wall of the Kazimierz Knights Tournament. On the exhibition wall of the champions of all generations, there were three photos of this Black Knight. In other words, she had won the tournament three times.
