Talulah, I'm still a child.

But he never told the doctor, because it was one of the things that couldn't be said. Of course, it was also because the little fox didn't know how to explain this to the doctor and the others.

While the doctor and others were discussing, Mei Xue had two consciousnesses in her mind: one four-tailed and one six-tailed, one in the present and one in the future.

"Six tails are indeed much more powerful. I'm so envious. No, wait, we are the same person."

The two plum blossoms looked at each other, and in perfect unison twitched their ears and wagged their tails. Some things are hard to explain, but they understood when they saw each other. They understood what it meant for the past and future to be the present, and for plum blossoms to always be in the present.

"Unfortunately, I only have four tails, and my luck is not as good as yours. You are still the same as before, so I can only let this side pass by."

Since both Mei and Xue are in the present, if this consciousness space were not affected by time, it would probably have split into a new parallel world line. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the four-tailed Mei and Xue took the initiative to open her arms and jump into the six-tailed one's arms, and affectionately rubbed her face against her own.

"It is indeed very soft, just as Theresa said."

"Indeed, the older women also like to rub their faces against each other; it feels so good."

This was the first time they had ever felt this way. Seeing another version of themselves, both Mei Xue were completely captivated. They hugged each other and rolled around on the ground, occasionally reaching out to pinch each other's fox ears, cheeks, or tails, then giggling foolishly, thinking to themselves, "As expected of myself, I'm just too adorable."

The scene of the two adorable little foxes snuggling together is exceptionally heartwarming, their smiles are exceptionally bright and happy, and the way they play together is just too cute to resist. It's hard to imagine if those fans of plum blossoms and snowflakes saw this scene and they would faint on the spot.

"Hmm~ won't it be harder to manage after the tail gets bigger?"

"Not really, Levadin is very useful, and so is Sister Talulah."

"I'm so envious. It takes me so long to dry my tail every time."

They chatted like this, one sentence at a time. The four-tailed Mei Xue gradually became ethereal, while the six-tailed He became more solid. Both little foxes felt a little regretful, as they wanted to spend more time together, as opportunities to communicate with each other were extremely rare.

"Do you know how to use your power now?"

"I'm still a little unclear."

Hearing someone explain it is one thing, but understanding it yourself is another. Unlike before, when I could figure out the method on my own after hearing Jian explain it, the way Mei Xue from the Four-Tailed Beast explained it to me was like the difference between elementary school math and advanced math.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. The power of fate is the most unpredictable, but that's also the most manipulative. Once I become completely your one and only, you'll know how to use its power."

As Mei Xue spoke, she wagged her tail again with Mei Xue, but her voice seemed to become gentler, somewhat like a woman's voice.

"Hmm...your voice?"

The six-tailed Meiyuki suddenly realized something was wrong, while the four-tailed Meiyuki smiled and nodded.

“Although we were originally all of one, we were also unique. Now there are two of us, which violates the rules. So I will undergo some changes to conform to the rules and avoid becoming you so quickly, for example... becoming a girl.”

At this point, a sly smile appeared on that cute face, which struck Mei Xue, the Six-Tails, like a thunderbolt, leaving her stunned on the spot, wondering if this was even possible.

The young fox was deeply shocked; this was a path he had never imagined. Then, his novel thought process led him to another question.

"Then why can't I become a girl?"

"Um... I thought you were thinking about whether or not to have some kind of self-coital relationship."

What is self-fertilization?

The six-tailed Meiyuki scratched his head. He hadn't fully accepted the other's memories yet and didn't know what they meant. This made the four-tailed Meiyuki, who had become a girl, blush with embarrassment. She hadn't expected that this version of herself was so innocent. It seemed that she hadn't interacted with W often, which was a good thing!

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You can't become like this. Your luck is much stronger than mine, and you've been recognized as the main body."

I was originally thinking of taking this opportunity to prove whether I was stronger as a boy or as a woman, but looking at Mutsuki's innocent and cute appearance, I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

Let's give each other one last hug~

"Good~"

She cleared away all the messy and improper knowledge in her head, leaving only what was useful to the other party. The four-tailed Meixue, now a girl, opened her arms and hugged the six-tailed little fox. Then they completely merged, becoming one.

It was only at this moment that Mei Xue truly understood the significance of the anchor point; it was not merely about fixing and protecting memories, but also about acting as a beacon.

Because he can see too much of the future and the past, without these anchor points, Mei Xue would probably get lost. But with these anchor points to guide him, he can return to his own timeline as quickly as possible. He returned a thousand years ago using this method.

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, Suzuran, who was doing her homework, suddenly looked up and frowned. Although it wasn't her original body, Su Xue'er still had a strong sense of fate.

Previously, she had sensed that Mei Xue had suddenly grasped one of the characteristics of fate: "omnipresence." She suddenly appeared in all places and all times at the same time, and now she was converging on a single point. What was her silly little brother doing now? Had he made another wish?

"No, I didn't feel the world lines being manipulated, so it shouldn't be like this. Could it be that my brother has found an anchor point and successfully found the corresponding one among countless past versions of himself?"

Speaking words that Linglan didn't understand at all, Su Xue'er looked at the heavy snow outside and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This snow was caused by Mei Xue herself, unlike before when it could directly steal Terra's luck. However, this snow was an incarnation of Mei Xue, an omnipresent symbol. This snow would fall everywhere, turning into water and vapor. This was the most basic way of using power, which Su Xue'er had taught her many years ago.

It seems her foolish younger brother has remembered some things, but hopefully it's not the things he shouldn't be thinking about now, since their good father isn't quite dead yet.

"Unfortunately, it was still a bit of a draw."

Looking down at her own chest, or rather, at Linglan's chest, Su Xue'er shook her head helplessly and then handed over control of her body to Linglan.

Lily of the Valley was incredibly shy after regaining control of her body, and she wondered if she should try some folk remedies.

Chapter 394 That Year the Fox Spirit Entered the Human World

"Mei Xue is so wonderful," Talulah thought to herself, gently poking the little fox's cheek.

If she weren't so unlucky as to have trouble even drinking water or tripping on flat ground, Talulah might have really thought she had used up all her good luck to meet such a perfect person, and, well, she had firmly captured his heart, and of course, he had captured her heart in return.

I really love Mei Xue. I want to wake up every morning and see the cute little fox sleeping next to me. I want to feel that tenderness of wanting to hug him but being afraid of disturbing his sleep. I want to gently place my hand in his long silver hair and entwine his smooth hair, which everyone envies, with my own hair and tie it into a knot so that we will never be separated again.

Feeling Mei Xue's breathing, watching her flat, smooth belly rise and fall, I gently ran my hand over it, lightly pressing it against her lower abdomen. Feeling her warm body temperature and delicate, yellowish skin, and smelling her unique fragrance, even the laziest person would be filled with energy.

She kneaded his soft, bouncy little face, then wrapped his small body entirely in her arms, letting him puff up his cheeks like a hamster without letting go. She saw that he was a little angry but helpless, and had no choice but to give in to her.

She wouldn't let go until he took the initiative to kiss her. Seeing his blushing face, yet his reluctance to give in, fueled her enthusiasm. Every day she thought about finishing work quickly so she could go home and tease him. Alina always agreed.

"That's great..."

Talulah chuckled to herself, reaching out to gently poke Mei Xue's delicate face. She wasn't worried about Mei Xue at all; her intuition told her everything would be alright, and all she needed to do was trust Mei Xue.

Just as she was thinking about what a happy life would be like after marriage, Talulah suddenly felt a warm and damp sensation on her fingers, as if something soft was gently wrapped around them.

Slightly puzzled, Talulah lowered her head and met Mei Xue's bright eyes. She finally realized that he had taken her finger into his mouth. The little fox gently bit Talulah's index finger with his fine, white teeth, a sly glint in his eyes, as if he were tasting some delicious candy, occasionally making some slurping sounds.

Talulah's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to explode. She found Mei Xue's provocative nature terrifying, and she almost considered fighting her to the death.

However, more than satisfying her own desires, Talulah was more concerned about Mei Xue's current state.

"Your memories have returned?"

"Yes, it has recovered somewhat, and it is indeed quite useful for the present, but... well, it's not good to tell my sister."

Indeed, Talulah could clearly sense the changes in Mei Xue. At least in terms of temperament, she had become more unpredictable, and she also seemed to have become more proactive. However, the Mei Xue she knew and liked was still the same person inside her, and that was enough.

"Is it a secret that cannot be revealed?"

"No, it's just that my sister will definitely be unhappy if I tell her."

The little fox stuck out his tongue. His recovered memories were mostly from the foster care agreement and others. He'd matured a bit; at least he knew it was best not to tell Talulah about these things, otherwise she'd definitely get jealous.

For Talulah, the future holds great promise, but for Mei Xue, who has already raised more than ten children, bringing up those things would surely make Talulah suppress his frustration and demand he vent his anger.

"Alright then, phew, it's good that you're alright."

If Meixue doesn't say, then Talulah won't ask. After all, Meixue is the only person she cares about the most, and even if the little fox doesn't say what it is, she can guess a little.

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer and adjust myself. Can I borrow my sister's arms for a bit?"

As she spoke, Mei Xue patted the empty bed next to her, and Talulah pinched his cheek and kissed him with a smile.

"We're inseparable, so don't be so formal. I'll get annoyed if you use the word 'borrow'."

She climbed onto the bed in a few quick movements, lifted the cup, and crawled inside. Talulah pinched Mei Xue's cheek, hugged his waist tightly, and rubbed against him.

And so, the two fell asleep again. Mei Xue really needed to sort out the extra memories in her head. Most of the memories she got from this anchor point were records of her life in Da Yan, and they were far too short compared to the little fox's age. They only included the period when she raised Nian and others, the few years she traveled on her own after going down the mountain, and some of her experiences after arriving in Da Yan with the Doctor.

There are no memories of that meeting after it was received, presumably because Mei Xue herself had separated them from the past. But it's great that she can recover these memories now.

Of course, what makes Mei Xue happiest is being close to her other self. That feeling is definitely better than hugging Lily of the Valley or Rosemary or any of her older sisters. It's wonderful.

According to their original plan, they were supposed to go to the holy mountain of Shelag on this last day, but since they had already seen the gods of Shelag, there was no need to go again. It would be nice to spend this last day together like this.

"It's snowing again..."

Watching the pure white snowflakes cover the mountains and fields, the Nine-Colored Deer gently covered the little wild foxes huddled together beside her with her own clothes, while she herself was unfazed by the scorching heat and bitter cold.

The scene before her eyes stirred up memories of the past. She remembered that when Mei Xue left that year, it was snowing just as heavily. Less than half a year later, the north suffered a severe drought, with locusts threatening to travel thousands of miles; the south was flooded, with rivers nearly bursting their banks. The Great Yan Dynasty had encountered the most severe natural disaster in its history.

Only a few people know that this is the root of the disaster that the true dragon bought when it hunted. Those dead or banished giant beasts curse the entire Great Yan with their resentment and hatred.

In his dream, Mei Xue saw the land in turmoil, a scene that must have been his memory, as this time it was truly told from a first-person perspective.

But it's also different, because the past and the future both converge on one point, and he is essentially living through this period of history.

That year, the fox spirit descended to the mortal realm with an umbrella, bringing peace to the Great Yan Dynasty for another thousand years.

"The weather has been really strange lately; it's only a few months and it's been raining non-stop."

At the tea stalls along the official road, merchants and travelers who were hurrying along all stopped; the rain was too heavy.

Two young men wearing raincoats sat at a table, drinking hot tea to warm themselves. Looking at the torrential rain outside, they couldn't help but worry that at this rate, they might not be able to reach their destination today.

"I heard that apart from a heavy snowfall during the New Year, the North has been experiencing scorching heat for months. This year, I'm afraid... there will be a severe drought."

One of the men from Elafia spoke, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

"Brother Ning, you can't say things like that!"

The other person accompanying him shook his head. These words really shouldn't have been said here, otherwise others might think it was disrespectful to the fox spirit.

Since the True Dragon Hunt, the Great Yan has not encountered any major disasters for many years. Although there are still some floods and droughts, the scope is not large, and under the coordination of the Great Yan, they are not a problem.

As people of the Great Yan, they would naturally attribute all of this to the protection of the fox spirit. However, not to mention the huge drought that the north might encounter, the south has been experiencing continuous heavy rain for nearly half a month. If it weren't for the great help of the civil engineering masters, the major rivers of the Great Yan would probably have already breached their banks, and countless people would have died.

"Brother, rest assured, I would never dare to disrespect the fox spirit. People in the world revere the fox spirit because they have been influenced by it since childhood, but my Ning family is different."

Ning Chunlai shook his head. It was raining heavily, and there weren't many people at the tea stall. Apart from a few vendors, there was only a group of martial arts practitioners who looked like they were from the martial arts world. They were busy discussing something and didn't care what was going on here.

"Brother Zuo, you also come from a prestigious family, so you must have heard of it. A hundred years ago, a fox spirit entered the world to observe the warmth and coldness of human life and once helped an old man who sold charcoal, turning charcoal into gold."

The person who shared Ning Chunlai's path was named Zuo Zhongmin. He came from a military family and could be considered a member of a prominent clan.

"Of course I know, pitifully, my clothes are thin, I worry that the charcoal is cheap and I wish for cold weather, yet I fear that the wind and snow will freeze the bag to pieces... This famous poem is still a mirror for officials of the Great Yan Dynasty to constantly remind themselves."

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the term "broken bag" generally refers to those who are so poor that they cannot even mend their torn bags, or to vagrants. The story of the charcoal seller was written into this famous poem, which was sung throughout the Great Yan Dynasty and even shocked the imperial court. The emperor was furious and ordered all officials, regardless of rank, to memorize this poem.

Therefore, in the following hundred years, if the Great Yan found similar situations in other places, the local officials would inevitably have to go to the capital to make a trip and explain the matter clearly.

"Yes, that old man selling charcoal was my great-grandfather. Thanks to the protection of the fox spirit, my grandfather's health was restored to normal. From then on, he studied hard and passed the imperial examination at the age of thirty, becoming a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination). After that, the Ning family became a family of scholars, which is why we younger generations are where we are today."

Therefore, if we were to say that the Ning family's current wealth and status are entirely due to the help of the fox spirit, others' respect for the fox spirit may come from various legends, the proselytizing and assistance of the fox spirit sect, but Ning Chunlai has genuinely benefited from the fox spirit's grace, and it is impossible for him not to respect it.

"Therefore, everyone in the Ning family said that my grandfather was able to become the top scholar in the imperial examination because he was blessed by a fox spirit. From then on, his career was on a meteoric rise. But my grandfather's own efforts should not be underestimated. He did not give up even at the age of thirty."
