Talulah, I'm still a child.

Seeing Mei Xue sucking her index finger, Kal'tsit suddenly realized that she had been ambushed. This uncivilized little fox was really hateful. She wouldn't let him sleep tonight!

"Hmm...it's sweet and sour. Kal'tsit, do you like orange juice?"

Mei Xue clicked her tongue. The little fox thought she would drink some kind of alcohol, but orange juice would be better. Hmm, Kal'tsit's taste is pretty good too.

"Taught by a PhD?"

"Hehe~ I wanted to do it myself."

Mei Xue scratched her head sheepishly. The little fox had gotten carried away playing with Specter Shark and thought she should try finding Kal'tsit too. But the Doctor did give her some advice, like those few words she just said.

“You’re not the kind of person who would say those kinds of things. Other people… only the Doctor would teach you to say those kinds of things.”

Don't you like it?

To prevent Kal'tsit from killing the Doctor or hanging her on that coconut tree if she got upset, the little fox quietly climbed onto her beach chair, straddled Kal'tsit's lap, and reached out to massage her shoulders.

What would you do if I said I didn't like it?

"Then I won't say those things anymore."

"What if I say I like it?"

"Hmm...then I'll try to tell you every day from now on?"

This little fox has always been quite good at winning over girls. Su Xue'er really educated him very well back then. Both the innocent and naive Mei Xue and the Mei Xue who can be alluring from time to time are hard to resist.

"Do you say that to other women too?"

"Of course!"

Completely oblivious to the dissatisfaction in Kal'tsit's words, Mei Xue proudly stood with his hands on his hips. To him, all the sisters were pretty much the same; he liked Kal'tsit, so naturally he liked everyone else as well.

Kal'tsit was speechless at this silly fox. Even after regaining his memories, he didn't seem to have become any smarter. His emotional intelligence still needs to be developed. If he turned into a little devil... well, never mind, that would be too much.

Have you decided whose room you'd like to stay in tonight?

"...Ugh, didn't you guys book me a room?"

Mei Xue wondered if Rhodes Island was so poor that it couldn't even afford to book a room for him, but Kal'tsit just reverted to her usual indifferent expression, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Give you a private room? Then I'll have to figure out where I can find a room big enough to accommodate all the vacationers."

Kal'tsit scoffed dismissively. With Mei Xue's popularity and the presence of so many others, if she were to have a room reserved for her, the door might not even need to be closed tonight. Otherwise, who knows how many people would knock on the door? The hotel rooms aren't big enough for a dozen girls to share.

Besides, if this group of people were to get together on a dark and windy night, with a lone man and a group of women, what would they do? It goes without saying. Rather than that, it's better to let Mei Xue choose for herself.

"Hmm, who does Cecilia sleep with?"

"...She's only seven years old."

"I know."

The little fox nodded. That's why he wanted to sleep with Cecilia. After thinking it over, Mei Xue realized that only by sleeping with Cecilia could he guarantee a good night's sleep. Otherwise, no matter who he was with, he wouldn't be able to sleep early tonight, not even with Talulah.

“But Cecilia is with… let me think, she shares a room with Amiya and Rosemary.”

Upon hearing the kitten's name, Mei Xue instantly became alert. Damn it, Amiya was alright, but Rosemary was really unbearable. This kitten was not only clingy, but also a determined doer. Whether or not anyone was around, she basically did whatever she wanted.

Seeing Mei Xue shake her head, Kal'tsit had no choice but to offer another option.

"Naskadi, Specter and she share a room."

The little fox shook her head even faster. Putting Skadi aside, Specter is a true carnivore, and Deepsea Hunters have such incredible stamina. Last time, Specter kept Mei Xue up all night. Although she suffered a crushing defeat and couldn't eat for a whole day or get out of bed for two days, it's hard to say what would happen if Skadi were added to the mix.

"That won't work either. Why don't you go find Talulah and Chen Huijie? The sisters can sleep in the same room."

"That won't do either. Those two didn't let me get a good night's sleep last time."

Of course, it wasn't that he disliked or didn't like his sisters anymore; he just wanted to rest properly. In fact, he and Talulah had already arrived in Siesta five days ago, but these days Talulah always took him around during the day and made the bed shake at night, not stopping until Tail Phoenix got up. She was determined to squeeze out every last bit of time they had together.

But the little fox's sleep schedule is not good; he can't sleep during the day and can't sleep at night. He's determined to get a good night's sleep tonight and also wants to go to Victoria to pick up his kitten.

"In that case, how about the Doctor?"

"Yeah!"

"She sleeps with W."

"..."

Mei Xue's eyes immediately lost their sparkle. The little fox had no idea that Kal'tsit had tricked him. W's attitude towards the professor was appalling. If the two of them were put in the same room, it might just turn into Conan's winter movie, "The White Christmas Bomb Incident at the Siesta Hotel."

Since neither the Doctor nor W are here, it's entirely up to Kal'tsit to say whatever she wants.

"Then I'll just sleep in the sandcastle I built myself."

Mei Xue was in despair. What kind of world is this? Can things ever get better? Is it so hard for the little fox to even get some sleep? Damn it, why are only Ansel and Grey the only boys visiting Rhodes Island this time? And they're even staying in a double room. Mei Xue, being the little tail, can't possibly squeeze in.

"Don't be silly, how could I treat you like this?"

Kal'tsit pinched Mei Xue's cheeks and rubbed them into various shapes in an annoyed manner.

"Sleep with me. I have a double room all to myself, so it's okay if you have too many tails."

"That……"

"I won't disturb your sleep."

"it is good!"

The little fox nodded decisively, then happily jumped out of Kal'tsit's arms, intending to go swimming for a while.

Kal'tsit was lounging on a beach chair, wondering what time she would be able to sleep tonight, when Warfarin came over with a glass of tomato juice, looking at Mei Xue with some curiosity.

"What did you two talk about? Mei Xue seemed so happy."

"It's nothing. Oh, by the way, why don't you go to the hotel and get yourself a private room later?"

She casually took a bank card out of her backpack and tossed it to Warfarin. Kal'tsit had just been fooling Mei Xue. She was originally in the same room as Warfarin, but now... Heh, who is Warfarin? She doesn't know her at all.

"Huh? Wait a minute... *Sarkaz Blood Demon's ancient curse* Old woman, you value women over friends!"

Warfarin suddenly realized what Mei Xue and Kal'tsit had been talking about. Damn it, this girl is shameless! She just throws away so many years of friendship like that. She made such nice promises when she brought Warfarin to Rhodes Island.

"Think what you want."

Kal'tsit wasn't angry; she just silently made a mental note of Warfarin's name. What old woman? According to Mei Xue and the Doctor, Kal'tsit was only seventeen years and a few hundred thousand months old.

"Damn it, you just wait!"

Warfarin's mind raced; she had already devised a plan, but she would have to do it discreetly later.

Meanwhile, Mei Xue stepped into the icy water and tried to put her tail in the water. Although she had learned to swim in the pool on Rhodes Island, she was still a little uneasy about swimming in such a big place. What if she couldn't stop and hit someone?

However, the little fox gradually adapted to the temperature, soaking itself completely in the water and adjusting the angle of its tail.

"Hmm, what is Brother Meixue up to?"

Lily of the Valley, who was trying to build a sand sculpture of Mei Xue, noticed Mei Xue's strange behavior. Although the little fox was a bit short, the shallow water was not enough to drown him. And was this lying position the frog swimming style?

(No, it's probably turbocharged)

Su Xue'er corrected Linglan's misunderstanding in time. Just as Linglan was about to ask what a turbocharger was, she saw Mei Xue's tail suddenly spray out a powerful stream of water like Wendy's engineering water cannon. The little fox herself was also thrown out by the powerful reaction force. Well, this could no longer be considered swimming.

"My goodness, there's even this trick..."

Amaya's face showed a surprised expression. This move was truly unexpected, but only Mei Xue could do it. Compressing and increasing the speed of the water jets sprayed from her tail to gain forward momentum was indeed a good idea.

However, this would present a problem. Amaya calculated the speed of the water jets emitted by Mei Xue's tail per second, given his current speed, and found that if this continued... the height of Lake Siesta would likely rise even further.

Chapter 401 Warfarin's Cunning Scheme

"Strange, why does it feel like the water level has risen?"

Several tourists from Siesta looked at the blue expanse before them with some confusion. They wondered if it was their imagination, but the water level had indeed shifted slightly from its previous position. The sandcastles they had just built were partially submerged and collapsed.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Who knows? Anyway, we're tired of piling sand. Let's go play on that carousel over there."

As several tourists left, an elegant black two-tailed cat appeared on the beach. It couldn't be anyone but Christina. She leisurely walked to the door of a bubble tea shop, pushed the door open with her paw, and went inside.

At this time of day, the milk tea shop doesn't have much business. The biggest customers are the people from Rhodes Island, but with Mei Xue around, there's no need to waste money.

Christina gracefully jumped into Phantom's arms, then leaped onto the table. She glanced at the three people sitting at the table, found her small plate, and lowered her head to lick the hot milk.

"This cat hasn't changed at all. She's still the same as before, just like a noble lady."

Hei couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She had never met Xiaoge, but she had met Kuiying. Back then, in order to figure out his identity, Meixue had specifically asked Hei to find the way.

"So cute..."

Xiaoge wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was too afraid. She had heard of this cat; it was very powerful and intelligent.

"So, this is our first official meeting, isn't it?"

"We're still short six people."

Phantom nodded. As one of the most mysterious operators on Rhodes Island, almost no one knew where he came from. However, his arrival on Rhodes Island was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. In fact, he was the first to find Rhodes Island and had been waiting for Mei Xue to return, but he did not become too close to the little fox.

"There are two Great Yan, one each in Victoria, Dongguo, and Iberia, but I don't know which one is the last one."

Compared to Xiaoge, who hadn't said much from beginning to end, the aloof Hei was quite talkative. Although everyone had gathered together because of Meixue and had similar personalities, this made the meeting somewhat awkward.

How are you doing?

"I'm doing well here. Everything is stable in Siesta. The young lady and the master are both happy to help Rhodes Island and Reunion."

"Dosoles is the same; Bolivar's local coalition appears weak on the surface, but has been secretly developing its power."

Hearing their answers, Puppet Shadow relaxed a little. He glanced at the transparent shop window, where a rapidly flowing line of water proved that Mei Xue was having a great time.

"If you want to see him, you can join Rhodes Island directly."

Gently lifting Christina onto his shoulder, Phantom turned and left. He was still not good at getting along with people, let alone two people so similar to himself. It was like looking in a mirror. Even if he tried not to think about it, some bad memories would inevitably surface.

Meanwhile, on the beach, Meixue, having had a great swim or swim, returned to the sand. She shook her tail several times to barely dry herself off, and was about to go find Talulah or Surtr to help her dry off when Warfarin blocked her way.

"Wait a minute, Mei Xue, I need to talk to you!"

"???"

Although she didn't know what Warfarin wanted to see her about, the little fox obediently stopped and waited for her to speak.

Looking around, although many people were watching, Kal'tsit seemed to be completely immersed in sunbathing and hadn't noticed the commotion. Warfarin breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Mei Xue's shoulder.
