Talulah, I'm still a child.

As he spoke, Ning Chunlai couldn't help but look out of the tea stall. The rain was pouring down. Although the Great Yan had prepared for this disaster, the losses were still unusually large. More than a thousand earth and wood masters were lost, and there were disasters in both the north and the south.

"Brother, let's keep going. The sooner we get there, the better. Every bit of help we can give is a help!"

But what's most worrying is the fox spirit. Since the Great Yan is facing a disaster, the fox spirit is bound to be unharmed.

Few people knew that this calamity was not due to a change in the fox spirit, but rather the culmination of years of curses and resentment accumulated over the Great Yan Dynasty, which finally erupted.

Walking in the rain, Mei Xue could hear the vicious curses echoing in his ears with the wind and rain. He subconsciously touched his neck, where the golden bell was still hanging. Indeed, although he had only obtained the bell many years later, it had become a part of Mei Xue and was no longer bound by time.

"This rain is really heavy..."

Fortunately, the wind and rain didn't wet his clothes, otherwise he would have been very uncomfortable, especially his tail.

This trip down the mountain was not only to completely eliminate these hidden dangers, but also to see the changes in the Great Yan over the years. In the past hundred years, he has been busy accumulating power and transforming the anchor point, and has not had the mind to pay much attention to the human world. But the Great Yan has indeed done well, as has his believers.

All the sects of the Fox Spirits, regardless of size, devoted themselves to the disaster relief efforts, though they also suffered significant losses.

But Mei Xue waited until now to show up because he couldn't easily withstand that level of curse in his current state. Without proper preparation, it would be useless.

However, he was also gratified that although the people and officials of the Great Yan were concerned about whether he was in trouble, no one blindly prayed to the immortals for protection. In the face of great calamity, they were not blinded by faith. In this way, even if there were any changes in the next thousand years, the Great Yan would be able to deal with them.

"That's good, hmm, that's good... Phew, it's still a bit of a stretch."

Mei Xue's steps grew heavier as she opened her red oil-paper umbrella. The next moment, Ning Chunlai and the others, who were walking out of the tea stall, suddenly noticed a tremor in the ground beneath their feet. However, it didn't seem like a mudslide or an earthquake, because the tremor was rhythmic, more like the sound of a huge beast walking.

But this is too unbelievable. How could such a thing happen? What kind of enormous beast could cause the ground to shake? But after looking around, he found nothing. Ning Chunlai turned his gaze to a more distant place, and the umbrella in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

"A fox spirit..."

But then the dark clouds in the distance dispersed, and amidst the endless mountains, a huge, pure white figure emerged with a tremor. It was a white fox with a golden bell around its neck.

The word "fox spirit" popped into everyone's mind. In the Great Yan Dynasty, only the fox spirit "Mei" possessed such power and grace.

Although it looks impressive to outsiders, Mei Xue is actually terrified. Although Su Xue'er taught him, this is the first time he has ever acted like this. Moreover, the little fox is afraid of heights, and the current perspective is too terrifying for him to look down. That's why he appears confident with his head held high in everyone's eyes.

But if you look down, Mei Xue will probably let out a "whoosh" and then lie face down on the ground, clutching her head.

But he had to suppress those thoughts now; time was of the essence, and he needed to act quickly.

Mei Xue knew very well what his fate would be after this, but he didn't regret it or worry about it, since he had already made the promise.

The raging winds, thunder, and dark clouds dissipated the moment the fox spirit appeared. An invisible black aura surged from the earth and sky, then burrowed into Mei Xue's tail. This was very uncomfortable, just like an ant crawling into a person's body and biting them, but Mei Xue had to endure it.

As long as we can withstand it, many fewer people will die in this disaster of the Great Yan Dynasty. Only by surviving it can he truly be whole, and not just represent the "good" of fate.

However, as more and more curses were extracted, it was clear to everyone that Mei Xue's body was becoming weaker and her figure was sometimes illusory.

Until the last trace of the curse on the land of Great Yan was extracted and absorbed, the fox spirit completely disappeared from the sight of Ning Chunlai and the others, and there was no news of it for more than a thousand years.

Chapter 395 A Vow of Eternity

Good days always pass quickly. Talulah counted on her fingers and realized that she and Meixue had been in Kjerag for a week, which meant it was time for them to pack their things and head to Siesta to meet up with Rhodes Island.

Why can't time just slow down?

While grumbling, Talulah wrote on the fireplace. This small but cozy house had now been bought by Mei Xue and became the two of them's first home.

Although she only stayed for seven days, Talulah felt that this was the life she wanted during those seven days—simple yet sweet, with idyllic scenery. Having Meixue around made life much more convenient; otherwise, such scenery alone would easily become tiresome, and there would be many inconveniences in daily life.

But as long as Meixue is there, every day is filled with happiness. The little fox will make all sorts of delicious food for the person she likes, to make them happy, and she will even whimper softly.

"Sister, are you all packed?"

Mei Xue poked his head out from the kitchen. Of course, he wasn't packing luggage, because all of Talulah's things were in Mei Xue's tail, including some private clothes, which were also entrusted to him for safekeeping.

Today is the last day after all. Although I don't plan to visit the holy mountain, I can still take a look around a bit more before leaving.

"Hmm, that's about it. By the way, do you really not need to hire someone to help keep an eye on things?"

The two were going to leave after all, and this departure might be for a long time, perhaps several years or even more than ten years. Although there wasn't anything particularly special in this house, Talulah didn't want to come back to find a bunch of Originium Bugs huddled in her house.

"No need, I'll take some precautions later."

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears, showing no concern. The little fox had plenty of ideas; the ideal was to turn the entire room into his anchor point. In fact, he had been doing just that while sleeping with Talulah yesterday.

Once the entire house is transformed into one's own anchor point, no one except Mei Xue can enter, and no dust will accumulate. Everything inside is fixed, at least theoretically.

"Okay, where should we go shopping?"

"Actually, anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with my sister."

Talulah was truly momentarily stunned by the little fox's smile and words. The restoration of her memories had made the little fox much more mature, or rather, much more proactive. The little fox used to be passive, but now she could utter such blush-inducing sweet nothings without batting an eye, completely unconcealing her feelings, and her unconscious flirting skills had become even stronger.

Talulah couldn't help but glance at the bell hanging around his neck. She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but after things got a bit lively last night, Talulah realized that it might be the most alluring part of Mei Xue's body.

Because... the bell rings when the little fox moves, especially when it's held down, which is great!

Last night, Talulah insisted on taking the initiative because of this, but in the end, she was exhausted by Mei Xue and fainted, sleeping soundly until this morning.

But for the little fox, it was the first time he realized that his bells were just objects to be played with by his sisters. It seemed he could buy a few to give to everyone later; Rosemary would probably like them.

"Let's go then, we can just wander around."

Talulah took Mei Xue's hand, and the two walked out of the room together. The little fox's tail swayed gently, and the house behind them completely transformed into one of his anchor points. After this visit, the two went straight to the station and didn't need to come back.

Sherag is indeed a great place to travel. The problem of being backward is not a big deal for the two of them. The little fox is like a wireless base station, so generating electricity is not a problem either. The magnetic mushroom that Mei Xue took out of her tail is probably highly educated and knows what magnetism generates electricity, and the voltage is not low.

"I'm very curious, Meixue, what's the deal with those plants of yours?"

Talulah has been curious ever since. Mei Xue's plants all have eyes and mouths, yet they can survive by basking in the sun. She couldn't figure out which category they belonged to.

Moreover, these plants defy Talulah's common sense. They can spit out peas, explode, and generate electricity and light—they're practically weapons! Especially that Doom-shroom. Back when Meixue had three tails, this thing could blast everything within a radius of tens of meters to the ground. Now that Meixue has six tails, according to the little fox herself, if a Doom-shroom explodes here now, then if Yeragand doesn't appear, Sherag will probably be gone.

It's all thanks to the Rhodes Island group of Mei Xue fans who never let him carry out any missions, otherwise, who knows who would be suffering right now.

"They, well... seem to be things I created in the past based on the doctor's advice."

Because she had regained some of her memories, Mei Xue still had a vague recollection of this matter.

"Made from scratch... you can actually do something like that?"

"It's not possible now, and I don't know how either. I probably only managed to do it when I had seven or eight tails."

He inadvertently revealed that he and the Doctor had known each other for thousands of years or even longer. The little fox held Talulah's hand and continued walking forward. He and Talulah had indeed overthought things before. Regardless of the past or the future, Mei Xue is the real leader now. Although activating the anchor point and restoring memories will affect the little fox's personality, it will not cause him to become a completely different person.

The two walked through the streets of Sherag, Mei Xue's leather boots and Talulah's high heels clicking and clattering on the hard cobblestones.

The locals weren't exactly familiar with Mei Xue and Talulah, but they had seen them several times. This was Shiva's territory, and it wasn't a secret that they had visited the Shiva's family. Everyone treated them as honored guests, and everyone who saw them would smile and show their respect.

As they passed the shop they had just visited, Talulah glanced at Mei Xue's tail and gently pinched his waist.

"You bought so many souvenirs, but the entire population of Rhodes Island probably doesn't even add up to a thousand, right?"

"Of course not, but I have hundreds of friends in Da Yan. Well, it wouldn't be wrong to call them subordinates."

The little fox flicked his tail. His relationship with the sirens was rather special. He didn't have the power to force or command them, but the sirens were completely obedient to him. Basically, if Mei Xue said that the sun rises in the west, then going east would be wrong for her, and the sirens would try to find a way to make the sun rise in the west.

"Several hundred... all women?"

"Yes, I should have introduced them to my sister last time. They're all a very interesting group of people."

Mei Xue couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned the sirens. He still remembered how he had moved those girls to tears with just a bowl of noodles. He almost thought they were having a hard time in Da Yan. Luckily, he found out later that he was so important to them.

"Hehe, that's great."

Talulah couldn't laugh. Damn it, suddenly there were hundreds more people wanting to compete with her for Meixue, and she suddenly felt terrible.

Perhaps sensing Talulah's bad mood, Mei Xue smiled and took her hand to continue walking forward, deciding it was best not to mention other women in front of her, as a dragon girl's jealousy was still quite terrifying.

The two continued to stroll around, eventually leaving the town and arriving at the lake where they had previously gone boating. Talulah sat down again with Meixue in her arms, just like when they were discussing their daughter's name. Talulah thought that they could build a wooden house here in the future, but Meixue thought about it for a moment and then shook her head.

"It would definitely be more convenient to live in Dayan in the future. The climate there is pleasant and the scenery is wonderful. I have two mountains to the south. I haven't been back to Tushan for a long time. Hmm, as for Qingqiu..."

Several figures flashed through Mei Xue's mind. He didn't know if these troublesome kids had taken good care of the family after he left. He only knew that Ling later moved to Shangshu, Xi went to Gouwu, Nian was running around all over the world, the eldest went to the frontier, and the second... well, he should give them a beating when they met.

"What happened over there?"

"It would be more suitable. The houses are already built, and there's a plum grove and a peach grove behind them."

Interrupted from her thoughts, Mei Xue smiled and nuzzled Talulah's hand. He probably wouldn't be idle this time back in Da Yan; he would have to see old friends. Fortunately, after his memories returned, he remembered where he had escaped into the deep mountains from, and Talulah was also nearby.

This just means I can't take Talulah on the trip as we agreed, which is a real shame.

"By the way, sister, what was your wish again?"

"Didn't I tell you? I just want to be with you, and then go..."

"I'm referring to the Reunion Movement before that."

Mei Xue remembered Talulah's words very clearly, but she was a little vague about the Reunion Movement.

"Hmm, this..."

After looking around, Talulah didn't rush to answer the question, but hesitated for a while.

"If possible, I want to establish a new order in Ursus that allows the infected and the uninfected to live in peace. I don't expect to achieve equality for everyone in a decade or so, but I want to give everyone a chance, even if it takes a long time."

Talulah spoke in an exceptionally gentle tone, and Mei Xue twitched her fox ears, listening carefully as she finished speaking.

"I want to eliminate discrimination and prejudice against people who are infected, eliminate their feelings of inferiority and hatred, and also those who are not infected but are oppressed, so that they can all sit together, chat and drink tea."

“Meixue, do you know that most of those infected people come from poor backgrounds and work in extremely harsh environments, such as mines and factories? That’s the real reason they got infected. Many of the unfortunate cases of the infected are man-made.”

Most of the Reunion members are infected, so Talulah knows very well what caused the large number of infected people and what led to the continued existence of prejudice and discrimination.

"So, what my sister wants is a world without infected people?"

Just assume that's how it is.

Talulah didn't intend to explain so many profound principles to Mei Xue right now; that was her job. Mei Xue's blessing of luck to the Reunion Movement was already a great help.

"And then there's what I told you about our life together, you should remember, right?"

"Of course, Mei Xue will never forget her sister and every word she said."

The snow-white fox tail swayed proudly as Mei Xue tightly embraced Talulah's waist. He knew that what Talulah was about to do was important and difficult, but he was proud of his sister.

"I will never forget that you are waiting for me to come back, or shall we make a pinky promise?"

Although this might be considered setting a flag, Talulah is not afraid. What flag? She has Mei Xue protecting her.

The last pinky promise was the first one Mei Xue and Talulah made to each other. This time it's different. He's already wearing the ring Talulah gave him, and this promise carries a special meaning.

"it is good!"

Mei Xue nodded happily, eagerly reaching out her hand, slightly raising her little finger, and giving Talulah a look that could steal her soul.
