Talulah, I'm still a child.

Perhaps realizing that Mei Xue couldn't sleep, Talulah started talking about the past. Back then, Mei Xue had only been with Reunion for a short time. On the one hand, he wanted to prove that he wouldn't cause trouble for Talulah and the others, but on the other hand, he couldn't hide his dependence on her. Mei Xue, who had lost his memory, was like an immature child, although he still seemed like a child in Talulah's eyes.

Talulah even thought that she and Meixue's future child should resemble their father more; that would be very cute, and if the child was sensible, it would put their minds at ease.

"Gu..."

When her most beloved person revealed her embarrassing past, Mei Xue silently hugged her tail, turned her back to Talulah, and suddenly didn't want to talk to her anymore.

But Talulah wasn't going to stop yet. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Mei Xue's waist, gently biting his fox ear as if stirring up a chord of passion.

"And the first time you learned to cook from Alina, I didn't even know it was you who made it. After eating it, I said that Alina's cooking skills had deteriorated, and you even cried."

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but recall it. From that moment on, Talulah's heart was truly captivated by this little fox. Seeing him cry because of something she said made Talulah want to slap herself to death. She now wished she could find a time machine to go back in time and flick herself with her tail.

"Then, sister, if you're so capable, don't eat my cooking again!"

Mei Xue also has a temper. No matter how many times Talulah brings up his embarrassing past, the little fox will get angry. If he gets really angry, he might even bite. But he can't bear to bite Talulah, so he can only snort and pretend to ignore her.

"Hey, I was just reminiscing about the past, don't be angry."

Talulah hugged Mei Xue tightly and rubbed against him, behaving rather humbly. There was no way around it; she always coaxed Mei Xue and never scolded him.

"Mei Xue, I heard that touching your tail brings good luck, is that true?"

"...So what if it is?"

You could tell the little fox was still a bit angry. His dark past was probably a taboo subject for him, especially since it involved Talulah. If it were anyone else, Mei Xue would have smacked him with her tail. No one except Red would like that.

"Then give me some of your good luck."

"Is my sister unlucky?"

Mei Xue didn't think Talulah was unlucky. With his protection, unless someone like Eureka was a cursed lone star, they wouldn't be too unlucky.

"Of course it's bad, luck runs out..."

Talulah hugged Meixue tightly and rubbed against her. The little fox, who was still sulking, was not very happy and wanted to break free from her embrace. Meixue was great like this, but it was better to hold her tighter when sleeping.

"When I met you, Mei Xue, I used up all the good luck I had in my life."

The pickup lines were so corny, they couldn't be cornier, but Talulah knew that no one had ever said them to Meixue, because she felt that the little fox had not only stopped struggling, but had also snuggled closer to her, and even offered her its tail.

"...Good luck, share it with my sister."

Mei Xue was still facing away from Talulah, curled up into a white fur ball and letting her hug her. The little fox felt her heart beating fast and her face burning hot, a feeling she couldn't quite describe swirling in her heart.

The girls on Rhodes Island do like him, but they mostly express it through actions. Few would verbally express their affection for the little fox, and even if they did, none would use such cheesy pick-up lines as Talulah.

Given Talulah's position in Meixue's heart, coupled with this old-fashioned but effective rhetoric, it inflicted a true damage of 1,000% on the innocent little fox, ignoring her defenses.

Mei Xue suddenly realized that perhaps he had to go through such a disaster just to meet Talulah, but even so he didn't regret it because he truly loved this dragon girl.

If he had to endure some hardship to meet her, he would accept that fate.

Chapter 383 Integrating the Unique Traditions of Political Commissars

There's a saying within the Reunion Movement: "It's better to offend the Patriot than to provoke Alina." The Iron Fist Commissar's iron fist is physically terrifying. Many newcomers to the Reunion Movement might wonder, compared to the towering and terrifying Wendigo Patriot, Alina is clearly more amiable, even delicate. How could she be so intimidating?

However, such doubts usually disappear after fighting alongside Alina. Damn it, can someone explain how a political commissar can wear those iron gauntlets and send a heavily armored Ursus warrior flying with a single punch?

"Speaking of which, Sister Kingslayer, our Commissar Alina's Originium Arts don't seem to be the kind that relies on strength, do they?"

As the squad leader of the vanguard, Shattered Bones looked at Alina not far away and couldn't help but ask Lyudmila beside him. He joined the Reunion Movement after the Chernobog incident. His father was Sergei, the current scientist of the Reunion Movement. Speaking of which, there was an old story between him and Lyudmila, which was why he called her "sister". But that was all in the past.

"That's not true. Commissar Alina's Originium Arts are spiritual, but she doesn't use them often."

"...Then why does the political commissar always like to use his fists to beat people up?"

Watching yet another troublemaker get knocked down by Alina's punch, Broken Bone instinctively shuddered. He himself had been one of the troublemakers earlier and had also been taught a lesson by Alina's iron fist. Strangely enough, although the punch was incredibly painful, he was perfectly fine the next day.

"Perhaps it's a tradition unique to the political commissars of our Integration Movement."

Recalling the political commissars of the Reunion Movement, the Kingkiller couldn't help but twitch his lips. Nowadays, people don't dare to let the political commissars accompany them in battle. These guys always charge at the forefront. Although they seem to have divine assistance and have never been injured, they are still frightening to look at. The political commissars are the treasures of the Reunion Movement. They are all capable, if not top talents.

For example, Chalk, you're a warlock, right? And you're from Lytania, so casting spells with music must be your forte. But do you want to explain why you're so skilled at swinging your cello at people?

And Lilia, a doctor, not only did she roll up her sleeves and start beating people, but where did she learn the Great Yan Internal Martial Arts from?

"By the way, Broken Bone, I heard your sister is also planning to join the political commissar's department. Good luck to her."

Lyudmila patted Broken Bones' shoulder gently, her words carrying a hint of schadenfreude. The political commissars were notoriously difficult to deal with, but every political commissar in the Reunion Movement was a figure of authority. Take Alina, for example; her gentleness and kindness were well-known throughout the Reunion Movement, and virtually no one dared to speak harshly to her, mainly because they were afraid to.

"..."

Suigu didn't speak; he had only foreseen his tragic future. With a political commissar as his sister, his future days were likely to be difficult.

However, he quickly recovered from his grief and suddenly remembered that the king killer should not have been here in the first place.

"Shouldn't you be going back to Syracuse?"

The Kingslayer, or Lyudmila, is a wolf from Syracuse. Like Cretaceous and others, she was a spy planted long ago. When the Reunion Movement emerged, she came here as instructed and became a member of the Reunion Movement. If it weren't for so many people like her joining, the Reunion Movement wouldn't have grown so quickly.

Judging by the timeline, Lyudmila should have returned to Syracuse and reported to the second Sicilian woman. Although she was part of the Reunification Movement, she was still responsible for liaising with Syracuse.

"The wind and snow have gotten a bit heavier, so it's not a good time to leave. I heard there's been some unusual activity in Syracuse, so Mrs. Sicily asked me to stay here for the time being."

"But I remember you were originally from Ursus?"

"Originally, as you know, the incident involving our fathers caused a lot of bloodshed, and I was sent to Syracuse to save my life."

"%……Feel sorry."

Shattered Bones felt he should apologize because the Kingkiller's father and his father had been colleagues. They were both researchers in the Ursus Empire, and even Commissar Lilia was one of them. However, in a certain conspiracy, Shattered Bones' father betrayed his colleagues to protect his family, resulting in the deaths of many people, including the Kingkiller's father and Lilia's ex-husband.

“There’s no need to apologize. Your father’s actions are only natural. Besides, he wasn’t exactly living a carefree life either. Since he’s willing to live for the sake of the Reunion Movement, I should know that the bigger picture is more important.”

Hatred? Indeed, at the beginning she did hate Misha and Broken Bones' father, and even wanted to kill her enemies with her own hands. But the two who saved her said that hatred only breeds hatred. Although the big fox was stupid, he was right. Falling into the abyss of revenge would only ruin one's future.

[Hate? You want to kill him? Then why don't you kill the entire Ursus army, and that Grand Duke too? Because you can't. You don't even know who your enemy really is!]

[Teach you? I won't teach you. You can't learn my skills. Listen to Lyudmila, live well. I've found you a good mentor. He will teach you skills, but what the Doctor told you is also what I want to tell you. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you will still be the way I like you.]

"That queen killer sister, have you seen that person? It's that one..."

"I've met him. He must have been different back then than he is now."

The person Shattered Bones was referring to Mei Xue. In fact, the existence of the little fox was no secret to the Reunion Movement. Many of the people here joined Reunion because of Mei Xue. Not to mention people like White Cretace and Lilia, even Shattered Bones was brought to Rusthammer by Mei Xue after being expelled. It was all for today, more or less.

“I was young when I first met him, but I was very impressed. You should remember him too.”

"I only have some recollection, but I don't remember it very clearly. At that time, I had a high fever when I had an Oripathy attack."

Although Broken Bone knew that Mei Xue had saved him, he had no recollection of it. When he woke up, he was in Rust Hammer's camp, where he had been taken care of since then, and even learned all his skills there.

Looking back now, it seems that Mei Xue had been working hard for the Reunion Movement for a long time. He had been trying to save as many people as possible for a long time. Ursus's contempt for the Reunion Movement was largely due to his lack of understanding of where the people in the Reunion Movement came from and what forces were secretly supporting them. Otherwise, even those brainless nobles would know that now was not the time to fight each other for interests.

"Then let me tell you about those past events, since I'm free anyway."

As one of the people in the conversation, Lilia was just drinking tea to relax her mind and body. She was thinking about when her daughter would finally win over Mei Xue. She was very anxious. According to Mudrock, quite a few people on Rhodes Island had already succeeded, but her daughter Louisa had only managed to hold hands with Mei Xue at most. Didn't this girl like Mei Xue when she was little?

Sigh, maybe I should write a letter to urge her and teach her some more methods. Anyway, dealing with Mei Xue is just a few tricks, so I can just force her.

"Coo-choo!"

While climbing the mountain, Mei Xue suddenly felt an itch in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze, as if a lot of people had been talking about her behind her back.

"Have a cold?"

Seeing that Mei Xue was dressed lightly, Talulah gently hugged him. The warmth that belonged to Draco came over, making Mei Xue feel much more comfortable. Of course, he couldn't catch a cold. According to Lin Qingyan, Mei Xue was now in his prime, unlike when he first met Talulah, when he was weak.

"Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back."

"Wow, you're really popular..."

Talulah's words carried a hint of jealousy. It was true that Mei Xue, who was liked by so many people, was wonderful, which proved that Talulah had excellent taste. However, the little fox had attracted too many women. It took Talulah a long time to accept this, but when she saw the list that Mudrock had handed over, she was still furious. In fact, she even accidentally burned down her own roof.

Although she didn't show it when they were on Rhodes Island, it would be self-deception to say that she wasn't jealous at all.

"Of course, I still have quite a few believers in the Great Yan."

Mei Xue didn't catch the hidden meaning in her sister's words. She proudly put her hands on her hips. She was very confident in her popularity. There were many fox spirit sects in the Great Yan Dynasty, and believers were everywhere. Even a child who hadn't gone to school yet could tell stories about fox spirits. It was because the court knew the influence of fox spirits in the Great Yan Dynasty that it paid special attention to Mei Xue's return to her hometown.

"So when you return to the Great Yan, won't you be surrounded by people wherever you go?"

Given the popularity of fox spirits in the Great Yan Dynasty, Mei Xue's public appearance anywhere would likely cause quite a stir, making it difficult for her to freely enter and exit any place.

"I have a plan~ Sister, you just wait and see."

Mei Xue had already considered this point. In the past, he would have been worried about this issue, but Talulah noticed something was wrong when the little fox picked up the red oil-paper umbrella.

She was certain that her five senses were not mistaken, and her eyes had indeed detected Mei Xue right in front of her. However, apart from that, she seemed to have no other means of finding Mei Xue. She could not hear Mei Xue's breathing, and Drak's thermal sense could not detect Mei Xue's temperature. If she could not still detect her visually, she would have suspected that Mei Xue had teleported to another place.

"How...how did you do that?"

Talu stretched out her hand, but it passed right through Mei Xue's body, like the wind brushing past her fingertips.

"It's something akin to instinct. If I wanted to, I could walk right past someone without attracting any attention. People know about fate, but few realize that fate is everywhere."

The little fox was very proud; for him, making Talulah show such a surprised expression was something to be proud of.

"Just like breathing, people know that air exists around them, but few people pay attention to it all the time."

"So, like fate, it can appear anywhere because it is omnipresent, and it goes unnoticed because it is taken for granted?"

Talulah was quick-witted and immediately understood what Mei Xue meant. If that was the case, then Mei Xue's abilities were not as simple as he described; they were related to fate, which didn't sound like something that could be explained in a few words.

"And another thing, for example, if I told you now that you weren't actually wearing this dress this morning, would you believe me?"

The little fox gently hugged Talulah's hand. The latter was slightly taken aback, and then realized that something was wrong with her. She rarely wore skirts in the community, only changing into them when sleeping. Although she often wore them during her trip with Mei Xue, wearing a skirt would be inconvenient today because they were going to climb mountains. But it seemed like... did she wear a skirt this morning?

The discrepancy between her memories and her own behavioral logic led Talulah to begin to doubt whether the Black Serpent was still in her body. However, she soon had a guess. Looking at Mei Xue, who was covering his mouth and chuckling in her arms, she pinched his cheek in annoyance.

What did you do?

"I just thought my sister looked prettier in a dress, so I changed her into one."

Mei Xue deliberately stuck out her tongue and acted cute, and then Talulah took the opportunity to bite her and give her a kiss. She was indeed surprised, but not unexpected. No one has been able to fully explore the secrets of Mei Xue to this day, and the little fox's abilities are even more of a mystery. But no matter what, he is the person she likes, and Talulah trusts him completely.

In reality, Mei Xue didn't do anything. He just slightly modified the history from this morning when he met Talulah, changing her clothes to a skirt. But when she climbed up, she was indeed wearing more casual clothes.

It's fortunate that there aren't many tourists here, nor many hunters hunting or chopping wood. The population of Shelag is very small, and most of them make a living by hunting. However, they believe that every snowstorm is Yelagand cleansing Shelag of its impurities, so they generally don't go up the mountain after a snowstorm, fearing that they might encounter the legendary snow ghost.

Talulah and Meixue didn't have such concerns. The two walked up the mountain path, and apart from Talulah being a little unaccustomed to the lack of oxygen caused by climbing, there were no other problems.

"If we slide down from here, it should be quick to get to the bottom of the mountain, right?"

The two had climbed high enough. Sherag had no shortage of such high mountains. Looking down from the mountain path, one could see a vast expanse of white from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. It was a pity that Sherag had not developed a skiing program.
