Talulah, I'm still a child.

In fact, he inherited the memories of the year, and still remembered a question that He once asked Mei Xue.

Why did I choose to stand on one side this time? My duty is clearly to be a bystander. As Mei's younger brother and Su Xue'er's friend, it would be natural for me to lend a helping hand.

But from the perspective of fate, everything is fate, whether good or bad.

What was Mei Xue's answer at that time? It seems that she doesn't remember it at the age of 20, but she vaguely remembers that her reaction at the time was definitely not good.

"Hey, stop standing there daydreaming, hurry up and write your wishes on the lanterns, it's time to release them."

Amaya called out and continued writing down her wishes on the paper. Although there were many lanterns to release, there were only a little over a hundred people, so she didn't have to write on every single one. Well, some of the more free people liked to write on more lanterns.

Although it is the New Year, the customs vary from place to place in the Great Yan region. Shangshu is located by the river, so there has always been a custom of releasing river lanterns and flower lanterns to pray for blessings and make wishes, especially during the New Year and other important festivals.

Taking this opportunity, Du Yaoye peeked at what her father had written for the New Year. After seeing the sentence "I hope the fox spirit will bless Yaoye to find a good partner and get married soon," she couldn't hold back anymore. To be fair, Du Yaoye's conditions were excellent, not to mention in Shang Shu, even in the whole of Da Yan.

As Zheng Qingyue's adopted daughter, Du Yaoye not only managed Xingyu Inn and its dozens of branches, but also Xingyu Escort Agency. Her family was wealthy, and because she had connections with officials in her early years of wandering the martial arts world, although she didn't have much official status, Du Yaoye had visited the Liang and Ning mansions quite often.

So why is she single? The answer is quite simple. She has a rather fiery personality. Although Zheng Qingyue didn't intend to raise her into a refined young lady, he also didn't expect to raise her into such an arrogant young lady. Moreover, Du Yaoye is quite good at martial arts. Given her personality, it's indeed not easy for her to find a partner.

"Dad, I really don't want to get married so early."

"How old are you? I'm more anxious than you are. It would be good if you got married soon and gave me a grandson. Anyway, I'll take care of things, so you can focus on the escort agency business."

"What about the inn's business?"

"That's meant for my grandson or granddaughter. I'm afraid you'll squander it if I give it to you."

He's not her biological father, but he's even better than her biological father. Du Yaoye was speechless. She became even more determined to postpone her marriage. She still had to make the escort agency great. However, Mei Xue said that the escort agency's approach was too old-fashioned and could be transformed into a logistics company to be more modern.

Therefore, Du Yaoye's wish was naturally to expand Xingyu Escort Agency, no, it should be Xingyu Logistics. She felt that Mei Xue was right there, so her wish would definitely come true.

As for the wishes of the Siren Lolis, they are truly varied.

[I hope my master can wear a school swimsuit and...]

[I want to be with Mei Xue, who's wearing a cheongsam...]

[Hoping to be with Mei Xue in her wedding dress next year...]

"Can't you guys be a little more serious when you write your wishes?! Think about how the readers and authors feel! With so many censored words, who knows what you're trying to do!"

If it weren't for the fact that they were all sisters, Amaya would have wanted to tie them all up and throw them onto the moon, or tie them to a rocket engine and let them test the temperature of the exhaust flame.

Don't you have any more harmonious and beautiful wishes?

The group of Siren girls pondered for a moment, then all looked at Gatanothor. As the youngest sister besides Cecilia, she always managed to express everyone's deepest desires in the simplest and most unadorned language.

"Yes, after Mei Xue... we can do it again, wearing different clothes... or we can have more sisters. I don't mind... *gulp*!"

Anyway, Gatanothor didn't release any lanterns that night, but she did provide everyone with a shooting star for making wishes. The shockwave from Amaya's punch caused a sonic boom in the air.

"Is...is everything alright?"

Du Yaoye's expression twitched slightly. She saw that Gatanothor had flown more than several hundred meters high. Who were these guys? Could a human possibly have such power?

"Don't worry, it's just been shot into outer space, it won't die."

Amaya shook her hand, realizing she had almost lost control of her power and caused an impact on the surrounding environment. Now Gatanothor would probably have to wait for Mei Xue to come and bring him back.

Chapter 26 Mei Xue's Matchmaking Work

"These are... the wishing slips from earlier?"

In Mei Xue's room, Ling Lan, who came to deliver late-night snacks, curiously picked out one of the notes from the pile on the table. It was signed by Lin Qingyan and read, "I hope that I will no longer have the trouble of my hair getting frizzy due to excessive electrical charge in the future." After all, although he had mastered the art of thunder magic, the power was too strong and there were times when he couldn't control it. Every time he fell asleep, his mind would be in a relaxed state, and the electric current would run out uncontrollably.

"Ah, those are what I collected later. Besides everyone's, I also collected some from upstream. I originally wanted to see if I could help fulfill some wishes, but... well, these are all a bit difficult to handle."

With a helpless and troubled expression, Mei Xue flicked her tail and then helped cover Cecilia with the blanket. The little angel had a lot of fun today, but she was also very tired. Once she relaxed, she inevitably fell into drowsiness and was eventually carried back by Mei Xue.

"These wishes are indeed not easy to fulfill."

Linglan's smile was forced. The lanterns released by the people of Shangshu were fine, but the wishes made by these sirens were... well, let's just say they weren't very good.

[I hope that together with Mei Xue, we can triple the size of the entire population, using human methods.]

[I want to marry Mei Xue and then expand our population!]

[I want to first rape Mei Xue, then rape her again, and finally rape her, then lock them both in a dark room and never let them out again.]

I want to be Mei Xue's dog, to put a collar around my neck and hand over the chain to him for safekeeping. That way, I can protect Mei Xue and my home, and he can take me with him when he goes out. That would be wonderful...

(Who exactly are these people?)

Not to mention Lily of the Valley, even Su Xue'er was taken aback by the Sirens' enthusiasm. Don't these guys have any sense of shame?

(Oh wait, Mei Xue and I used to play something much more fancy than this.)

Su Xue'er pondered for a moment. She couldn't even remember how long she had lived with Mei Xue. After living for so long, just like what the doctor said, feelings, though they might gradually become more mellow with time, would eventually change.

So back then, Su Xue'er and Mei Xue had tried all sorts of tricks, but the little fox was always very obedient, and he couldn't do anything about it after a couple of attempts.

"Amaya and the others' wishes are not easy to fulfill. On the other hand, most of the people of Shangshu pray for success in their careers, smooth relationships, and academic progress in the coming year, just like before."

"This belongs to Sister Du Yaoye. So she wanted to start a logistics company."

"Sister Du Yaoye wants to take over the Xingyu Escort Agency business, but she needs to keep up with the times, so I suggested she start a logistics company."

"Then she will definitely succeed."

After all, it was Mei Xue's suggestion. Linglan could foresee that Du Yaoye would carry forward Xingyu Logistics in the future, thanks to the fox spirit's blessing.

"Wait a minute, does that mean we have to stop doing business at the inn?"

"Manager Zheng said he would leave the inn to his granddaughter, so... his wish is that I can find a good match for Sister Du Yaoye."

At this point, the little fox scratched its head in a bit of distress, then gently covered Cecilia with its tail, making her sleep more peacefully.

"Gulp... While my legend does indeed include the ability to bless marriages, I can't just randomly play matchmaker, can I? How about I introduce you to a few from Rhodes Island?"

"Does Brother Meixue have someone in mind?"

Linglan sat beside Meixue on the edge of his bed, leaning gently against him. Their golden and white tails intertwined the moment they touched, a habit that had become a part of their relationship.

"That's not hard to find. Rhodes Island has plenty of talented people, so this shouldn't be a problem."

The operators on Rhodes Island come from all over the world. While not all of them are exceptionally talented, there are quite a few handsome men and beautiful women, and naturally, many of them are worthy of Du Yaoye.

Although she doesn't seem to appear often in the male circles of Rhodes Island, the little fox remembers every single operator clearly, counting them on her fingers.

“Look, for example, the older brothers in Group A4, Brother Ansel is very good. He is good-looking, gentle, hardworking and considerate, and his family background is not bad either.”

"What about Sister Melansa? I heard she's planning to confess her feelings."

"I see. Well, let me think about it. Well... never mind, it's better for him to stay single."

The little fox pondered for a moment. He had originally intended to say "Extreme Realm," but even someone as obedient as Mei Xue knew just how extraordinary Extreme Realm was.

Then, under Linglan's watchful gaze, Meixue pondered for quite a while. After eliminating the few male operators in her mind, the little fox suddenly realized that she had no one to choose from. ACE and Scout were too old and had no intention of doing so.

"Lily of the Valley, I suddenly realized that the gender balance on Rhodes Island is a bit ridiculously off."

(You only just realized this now?)

Seeing Mei Xue's "I see" expression, Ling Lan's smile seemed to carry a hint of helplessness.

"After all, Mei Xue, the people you and the Doctor brought back to Rhodes Island were all women. As for why, I'm also very curious."

The little fox twitched its ears, seemingly sensing a chill, but didn't pay much attention. Instead, worried that Cecilia might be cold, it covered her with another tail.

"Then it will be difficult to find someone. Hmm, no, it's not that it's impossible to find a suitable one, it's just that we don't know if they have someone they like."

Mei Xue suddenly remembered that she had a group of children who hadn't married for over a thousand years. According to the information she had, apart from Ling, who had forced her into marriage through improper means, the rest were all still single.

Given their status, being with Du Yaoye is more than enough; it's just that the Great Yan side might have some minor objections.

"I think we should ask Sister Du Yaoye for her opinion on this matter. It's not appropriate to just make arrangements for her arbitrarily."

Linglan reached out and gently stroked Meixue's head. Sometimes she really wanted to ask Meixue how she maintained such excellent hair and skin.

"And...Brother Meixue, do you want to check who her marriage line is connected to now?"

"Ah, let me take a look."

Mei Xue gently patted her head, her eyes instantly shifting from azure to dazzling gold. Before her eyes appeared countless intersecting lines of various colors. Through the barriers of time and space, Mei Xue saw the red thread that belonged to Du Yaoye. She was a very devoted girl, so she always had only one red thread, and besides herself, the other end of that red thread was tied to…

"How did it end up here? Wait a minute, do you expect me to go up there myself?"

Several big question marks appeared on the little fox's head. He thought to himself that since he came here, his relationship with Du Yaoye was just a normal friendship. They hadn't done anything wrong.

"You are the master of your destiny. All the fate lines that have no destination will subconsciously drift towards you. Although I already knew that this would probably be the outcome, how should I put it... Brother Meixue is indeed a womanizer."

To be honest, this should be the first time that someone other than Su Xue'er and the Doctor has publicly criticized Mei Xue for being a womanizer.

But the little fox also had something to say about it, though she blushed and spoke very softly when she did.

"Gulp... Can you call being a vixen a flirt?"

"Other people who are unfaithful only have affairs with one or two people, but how many people have you messed with, Brother Meixue?"

As she spoke, Linglan's aura unconsciously overshadowed Meixue's. Although she was always gentle, she also had a strong and assertive side. In the past, she had always tried to leave a good impression on Meixue, but now that she had secured her position as the fox fairy bride, this was the first time she had shown this side to Meixue.

"Waaah... But I only have one red thread, it's just that it's a little long, so there are a few more people tied to it."

This wasn't just something Mei Xue made up. Linglan inherited Su Xue'er's power and could see a little bit of it. Mei Xue herself really only had one red thread, but perhaps because her lifespan was too long, this red thread was ridiculously long. Linglan could only see it disappear into the distant sky, and she didn't know how many people were still connected to the little fox.

On the other hand, many people's fates were tied to Mei Xue.

"I'm not blaming you, brother, it's just... please consider our feelings a little more."

Seeing Mei Xue's weak and submissive appearance, Ling Lan's already not very strong heart immediately softened. Even though she knew that Mei Xue had regained a lot of her memories, it was precisely this weak and submissive Mei Xue that she was familiar with, and that Su Xue'er was also familiar with.

"You know too many people, so you'll have less time to spend with me, and also less time with Sister Rosemary and Sister Witch Love. If possible... what girl wouldn't want to have her beloved all to herself? But I know you can't belong to anyone else."

For the first time in a long time, Linglan and Su Xue'er's memories resonated once again. In the countless days and nights that the siblings spent together, they had hugged each other like this countless times. Mei Xue listened to Su Xue'er complaining that he had run off again, and then she would act cute and apologize to her sister, being incredibly well-behaved.

In an instant, Linglan transformed into Su Xue'er. When they were pressed together, Mei Xue felt the change most directly and buried himself in "Linglan's" embrace.

“But Meixue, we don’t have time, so I don’t mind. No matter how many people you meet or how many connections you make, remember this: I don’t mind you spending more time on others, but… know when to stop.”

"My sister is right."

Mei Xue nodded obediently. Even though the scent he smelled was not the familiar fragrance but the milky aroma of lily of the valley, he still instinctively craved this feeling. Regardless of memories, in the tens of thousands of years they had spent together, this feeling of longing, reliance and attachment had been deeply ingrained in his bones.

“You always say I’m right to scold you, but every time you promise me not to run around, the next moment you’re off to play with someone else.”

Su Xue'er gently pinched Mei Xue's cheek, taking the opportunity to check Mei Xue's body, but soon realized that this was impossible. Mei Xue was now whole. The seed that Su Xue'er left in the jade pendant sprouted under his unconscious cultivation, and after being watered twice, it completely made up for the missing parts.
