Talulah, I'm still a child.

Lin Qingyan's face was flushed, her heart was pounding, and she tried hard to suppress the electric charge on her body to prevent her hair from becoming frizzy again. Although she had inherited Su Xueer's extensive experience in this kind of thing, she was still a novice and felt a little pressured. She had heard that it was quite painful.

"Yes, we plan to have a daughter named Mengyun, and her surname will be the same as her older sister's."

"I see..."

Even without Mei Xue's explanation, Lin Qingyan could guess whose surname Mei Xue's daughter should take under this name in the style of the Great Yan Dynasty: Su Mengyun. That's a good name.

"Do you know how to have a baby?"

"Gulp... I don't know."

The little fox shook his head. He really didn't understand. However, he felt a tingling sensation, as if a faint electric current was flowing into his body from Lin Qingyan. But it was quite comfortable, so the little fox didn't say anything more.

“You should know that you are different from others, so if you really want to have a child, you can’t do it the way normal people do.”

Lin Qingyan gently unfastened the clasp on her collar, then pinched the zipper at the front of the dress and slowly pulled it down. The little fox then realized that she, like Kroos, followed the band-aid style. Looking at Lin Qingyan from this perspective, she was quite charming. The sleeveless dress highlighted her slender yet beautiful figure, while also perfectly showcasing her fair skin. She wasn't seductive, but she was definitely a beauty.

"Is that right?"

"Of course, if it were just a matter of sex, you and Su Xue'er would have had countless children by now."

Lin Qingyan's sharp criticism was spot on. After all, for so many years, apart from going out to beat people up and finding food for Mei Xue, Su Xue'er spent the rest of her time being affectionate with the little fox. If it were that easy to have a child, they would have had enough time to build a civilized family.

Upon hearing this, the three Talulahs under the bed had an expression of sudden realization. No wonder Mei Xue had stayed on Rhodes Island for so long and met so many women over the years, yet she still didn't have a biological child. So that's how it is! No, we have to hear what the solution is right away.

"That seems to be the case... So what should I do?"

"This isn't difficult, but it will require your cooperation. Hmm... let's talk about it later, let's get started."

(Go ahead and keep talking! Can't you just hold back for a second? We're still here!)

The three members of the Reunion Movement were now quite united in their thinking. Before they could even clench their fists, the voices above gradually grew louder. It seemed that Lin Qingyan was getting into the zone very quickly. No, she came because she couldn't resist.

"No way! Doing this in front of me? I won't allow it!"

Talulah played her last two cards, deciding to go out and throw her sister-in-law, Lin Qingyan, into the river. Normally, it would be fine if she couldn't see or know about it, but now she's doing this. Even if Black Snake can tolerate it, Talulah can't!

"Stop talking nonsense and finish this game."

Although she was also unhappy that someone was having fun with Mei Xue right above her, Frostnova was even happier to see Talulah suffer. After all, all the girls on Rhodes Island were Mei Xue's lovers, so what was there to worry about?

This is completely different from her usual serious and rigid demeanor. She is alluring and her eyes are full of affection. She is not shy like a girl in her first love, but rather like she is looking at her lover of many years. Su Xue'er's memories interfered with her consciousness, but also gave her the courage to continue. At least after tasting the familiar flavor of the fox spirit for the first time, she still misses it.

However, just as Talulah lost this round and was about to rush out, Mei Xue's door was knocked on again as expected. Lin Qingyan, who was about to kiss the fox spirit, was dumbfounded. Who would come at this time? Those three from the Reunion Movement?

"Brother Meixue, are you asleep?"

(Holy crap! It's Cecilia? Wasn't she asleep?)

Upon hearing about this business opportunity, Lin Qingyan was completely dumbfounded. Why did this little girl have to come at this time? She had only just begun!

However, Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't mind playing this kind of game with Lin Qingyan, Talulah and the others were still under the bed. If they were to play, they would have to play together. Of course, if Cecilia came, the little fox would take priority in taking care of her sleep.

"Sister, there's no need to come. There's a river outside; the only place to hide is under the bed."

The little fox has already learned to answer questions quickly, and there wasn't enough time for Lin Qingyan to get dressed. The main problem was that she needed to clean up the marks on her body. Before she could ask Mei Xue why she was so skilled, Mei Xue stuffed her under the bed, where she happened to see the trio who had just finished playing cards.

"...Want to play cards?"

As soon as Talulah finished speaking, Mei Xue pushed a box of mahjong tiles under the bed, clearly worried that the four of them wouldn't be able to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

"He's really considerate, he's just too considerate to everyone."

Alina helplessly covered her head, looking at Lin Qingyan who was so embarrassed by the situation that she wished she could disappear into the ground. Her skirt zipper was still open, and her band-aid had long been removed. Compared to Alina, she seemed much more shameless, and she hadn't even licked the fox spirit off her face.

(Luckily, this bed is big enough, and there's plenty of space underneath.)

Mei Xue and the other four couldn't help but think this way. Fortunately, the little fox only had one shirt as pajamas, so they could just put it on. They went to the door to open it for Cecilia.

The little angel's pajamas were a white dress with pretty bows on the shoulder straps. It was a gift from Mei Xue, which is why Cecilia liked it so much. Of course, the fox doll in her hand was the same.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?"

When facing Cecilia, Mei Xue's gentleness was so great that even Talulah was envious and jealous. The little fox gently stroked her head, her tone very soft, which made Cecilia squint her eyes and snuggle up to her. All her unease and worries disappeared the moment she saw Mei Xue.

"Um... when I woke up I found that Sister Lin Qingyan was gone, so I didn't dare to sleep."

Cecilia looked embarrassed, fiddling with her fingers; if she could, she certainly wouldn't want to disturb Mei Xue's rest.

“My older sisters have all gone out, and Talulah isn’t here either. I went to look for the other two sisters, but they weren’t there either… so I can only come to my brother.”

(Well... after all, they're all hiding under my bed, it would be strange if you could actually find them.)

Mei Xue helplessly hugged her angel sister and gave her a tail to hold. Given Cecilia's dependence on him, she would rather go find Alina and Frostnova, whom she had only known for a short time, than bother him. The little angel was very thoughtful.

"You can come find me directly next time."

"Um……"

Cecilia nodded shyly, then glanced around to make sure no one was watching before gently reaching out to hook her arm around Mei Xue's neck and kissing him on the cheek.

"Thank you, brother~"

blushing—this was the first time Cecilia had imitated the older girls. She had asked her mother, who said that a kiss was fine, and even encouraged Cecilia to take the initiative while she had the upper hand. However, the little angel's sense of shame limited her to this extent.

Moreover, the little angel didn't know about those kinds of feelings; she simply liked and relied on Mei Xue, so she thought that doing this would make him happy.

The four people under the bed were completely dumbfounded. Was this some kind of indiscriminate attack on everyone, regardless of age or gender? Couldn't they be reasonable? She was only eight years old!

"You're welcome. Hmm, if you can't sleep, you can sleep with me from now on."

After all, it's a foreign land, and Cecilia is so young, it's normal for her to be scared. Even the little fox was afraid of the dark and went to Patriot when she was with Reunion, so this is nothing.

"Mmm~ Brother, let's sleep together!"

Cecilia nodded, then hugged Mei Xue and rubbed against his waist. Then, feeling something, she looked up in confusion and pointed to a certain spot on Mei Xue's body.

"Brother, what is this?"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered that he was the one who had provoked her earlier. With Mei Xue's straightforward personality, she was probably going to... Oh my god, she'd gotten herself into big trouble!

"Hmm...we'll talk about that when you're older. Let's go to sleep for now. And you can't find your sisters, right? How about your big brother shows you a magic trick?"

Unexpectedly, the little fox was neither shy nor embarrassed, nor did he tell the truth. He simply avoided the topic and decided that he needed to have a "good talk" with Sister Lin Qingyan.

"Okay, okay~"

Cecilia was happy to watch the magic show, while Mei Xue subtly pulled her clothes down a little further, using her ability to cool herself down.

"Next, your brother will cover your eyes, and you count to three—the sisters will come out!"

"it is good!"

"Let's begin."

Mei Xue gently covered Cecilia's eyes, and Xiao Tian counted in his childish yet melodious voice.

"One~"

Lin Qingyan and Talulah quickly tidied their clothes, with Lin Qingyan also wiping his face to make sure everything was clean.

"Two~"

The four people hurriedly crawled out from under the bed. Cecilia heard some sounds and a muffled thud, like someone hitting a wooden board.

"Three~"

The little angel's eyes regained their sight, and she was surprised to find that in addition to her favorite brother, her four older sisters were all in the room. Her eyes lit up and she hugged Mei Xue's waist and rubbed against her. She only knew that Mei Xue's tail could conjure up all sorts of delicious, fun, and beautiful things, but she never expected it could also conjure up living people.

"Brother Meixue is so amazing!"

Cecilia's praise made Mei Xue a little embarrassed. He felt that this girl was just as easy to fool as he had been back then, and she really believed whatever others said.

Talulah and the others forced smiles, thinking to themselves that the room was really lively tonight. It was all thanks to the owner for preparing such a big bed, otherwise they really wouldn't know where to hide. Could it be that this was also due to Mei Xue's luck?

"The older sisters also couldn't sleep alone and were scared, so they came to find their brother?"

The little angel peeked out. She was clever enough to guess that her sisters were hiding under the bed, but at her age, she couldn't think in the direction of adults. She just assumed that they were doing this to put on a show for her.

Moreover, Cecilia noticed that her sisters were all dressed very beautifully, and even Lin Qingyan, after taking off her coat, looked stunning in just her black dress.

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of the dark." — Alina

"Me too, I'm cold, so I came to hug Mei Xue's tail." — Talulah

“My room is cold too.” — Froststar

"I was frightened by the fireworks, so I was afraid to come looking for Meixue." — Jingzhe

They all spoke up at the same time, giving reasons they themselves didn't believe. They looked at each other with disdain in their eyes. A deer that could knock over a truck with one punch would be afraid of the dark? Draco who could control fire and the Ice Princess who could integrate would be afraid of the cold? Even the dignified successor of the Thunder Magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion would be afraid of firecrackers? They were just trying to fool Cecilia. The key was that the expressions on their faces were quite serious.

If Mei Xue hadn't overheard their conversation earlier, she might have actually believed those excuses just like Cecilia.

But right now, getting some sleep is the priority, and it seems like no one is planning to leave. Mei Xue hugged Cecilia helplessly, feeling that if the little angel hadn't arrived in time, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight.

Chapter 7 The Girls' Sleepless Nights

Originally, this large bed was big enough for Mei Xue to lie on, and even allowed the little fox to put its tail in a comfortable position. But now, the bed, which was only big enough for five people, was crammed with six, making it feel extremely crowded, though it was also quite warm.

"This is discrimination...this is oppression against me! I'm going to complain to the political commissar's office!"

As the one with the lowest body temperature, Frostnova was unfortunately squeezed into a spot near the window, where she and Talulah were placed together to balance out the temperature.

Lin Qingyan and Alina are probably the better sleeping postures, so they are near the door. Mei Xue and Cecilia naturally sleep in the middle, and it's fortunate that they are small in size, otherwise it would be hard to say.

However, Mei Xue was a little uncomfortable lying on her side. If she covered herself with a blanket, her tail would be completely covered. Fortunately, the little fox's umbrella could affect the surrounding environment and raise the temperature a little so she didn't need to cover herself with a blanket. Her tail swayed freely and then covered Cecilia.

After what just happened, it's a bit difficult to fall asleep now. Cecilia's aura has become the brightest presence in the room, but fortunately, she's of mixed race, so her brightness is still within everyone's acceptable range compared to Exusiai, who requires an eye patch.

Unable to fall asleep either way, a bedtime chat ensued.

Faced with Frostnova's accusations, Alina, the political commissar of the Reunion Movement, smiled without saying a word. If she were to get too close, it would be bad for Mei Xue and Cecilia to feel cold.

"Stop arguing, nyah nyah nyah... You actually thought about sneaking away, and you still have the nerve to say that."

“Cecilia is still here, don’t say things like this that will corrupt the children.”

Alina reached out and gently tapped Talulah on the head, almost knocking her unconscious.

"Ouch! That hurts! Alina, are you trying to kill me and then take Meixue all to yourself?"

"If I could, I wouldn't mind doing that."

These words made Talulah and Frostnova instinctively shudder; if they weren't by the window, they probably would have fallen off the bed.

Of course, that's what she said, but Alina wouldn't actually do such a thing. Although she liked Mei Xue very much, Talulah and Frostnova were both her good sisters. Even though they still liked to sneak off together, they were still considered to be on the same side.
