Talulah, I'm still a child.

Upon hearing this familiar business, Cecilia's entire body radiated light—literally, her angelic halo and wings shone brightly with emotional excitement.

The bright light stung Du Yaoye's eyes, but the little angel didn't even notice her and jumped off the bed to open the door for Mei Xue.

"elder brother!"

The moment the door opened, the little angel bumped right into Mei Xue's arms. The little fox rubbed her head, guessing that the little angel wouldn't be so easily fooled. After all, if Mei Xue really left just because of something, how could Surtr and the others have gone out together?

But when Du Yaoye rubbed her eyes and got up, she faced Mei Xue, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment because her bath towel was hanging on the other end.

Mei Xue pondered for a moment, then pulled out her communicator from her tail. Of course, she wasn't going to take a picture; instead, she directly entered Rhodes Island's large chat group.

【Mei Xue is going to grow taller today】: What should I do if I accidentally see someone's ********?

Chapter 34 Sit down, this is Mei Xue's basic procedure.

Picking up where we left off, Mei Xue's message ignited Rhodes Island's chat group, and a bunch of lurkers suddenly came to the fore.

【The Soft and Cute Fox Fairy Fell in Love with Me】: Holy crap, so many days have passed and this is the first time this has happened? Mei Xue, are you alright? I feel like your luck with love has been affected.

The Doctor, always eager to stir up trouble, was the first to speak, surprising everyone that she hadn't been hung up by Kal'tsit on the bridge of Rhodes Island today.

[Apu Lupai]: It seems that's really true. With Mei Xue's luck, how many people will she be able to bring back this time?

[Unscrupulous businessman, give me back my hard-earned money]: I don't know, how about we open a betting pool and I'll be the dealer, let's see how much Mei Xue brings back this time. Hmm, who changed my ID?

Kroos was already thinking about how to make money again, while Huang, somewhat frightened, shook her head hurriedly while holding her communicator, refusing to give her any rosemary. The little cat had crushed her own communicator in a fit of anger earlier, and she didn't want her communicator to suffer the same fate, as Mei Xue's photos were all locked inside.

[The Shining with a great figure]: It must be the Doctor, she likes this kind of thing, it's quite fitting...

Shining looked at her changed ID and couldn't help but twitch her lips. Seriously, the Doctor always manages to leave people speechless in some ways, but this ID change is indeed very apt. Shining's figure has made Liz never want to shower with her again.

【Humanoid Computer Gugu Heart】: No, the name White Owl is not appropriate.

[Charmander]: Oh, that's a great name for me, but why not Charizard? That would be much more imposing.

【Saria, you don't understand love】: Then what am I?

[Ifrit, go do your homework]: What do you think?

【Miu Miu is the cutest in the world】: What do you think?

[Hanwudi]: ? ? ? Doctor, I need an explanation!

【Hanwudi】: I really am silly.

Looking at the "Complete Set of Mei Xue's Bath Photos" that Skadi had just received from the Doctor, Ghost Shark wanted to retract his comment. He curled the corners of his mouth and curiously looked at his ID. Then he couldn't hold back anymore. Why is it called Deep Sea Neodymium Copper?

【Honey Trap Big Sister I Like to Dance】: What kind of nonsense is this? Doctor, have you really lost your memory? How do you still remember this?

Miss Blood Demon tugged at her hair in annoyance. She had met Mei Xue and the Doctor in a castle in the Blacklacson region. It was indeed a honey trap, but she turned the tables and got beaten up by Mei Xue, which made her behave herself.

The topic seemed to be getting further and further off track, but obviously, no one was surprised that Mei Xue would encounter such a thing, after all, she was Mei Xue.

At the other end of the Jade Gate, the little fox didn't expect anyone to give her any advice. Fortunately, Linglan quickly covered Meixue's eyes with her tail and threw a bath towel to Du Yaoye, which made the latter blush and run back to his room after passing Meixue. Otherwise, if she had shouted, who knows how many people would have been attracted.

"Now that Brother Meixue is back, I should go back and rest. I shouldn't stay up too late."

Linglan glanced at Meixue, then chose to leave this time alone to Cecilia. It was good for her to enjoy this privilege of being spoiled while she was still young. She would have to worry about how to distribute Meixue when she grew up.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Mei Xue knew she couldn't hide it from everyone. After all, the little fox wasn't good at pretending, and they knew him too well.

"Brother, are you tired?"

"A little, but I'm a bit scared being alone, so I came to my little angel to borrow some light."

These words were directed at Cecilia. If the target were Exusiai, Remian, or Mostima, the little fox would have been thrown onto the bed right now.

However, Cecilia felt warm inside by these words, and the little angel's mood improved significantly. She nodded and hugged Meixue, nuzzling against her.

"Is your brother afraid of the dark?"

"I'm afraid, and I'm afraid of the cold, afraid of being hungry, there are just many things I'm afraid of."

"That……"

Cecilia turned to look at her still-tender wings of light, which shone brightly because of her mood. Such things were rare; few people in the Sarkaz could control their racial characteristics.

“From then on, Cecilia will stay with her brother at night so that he will never be afraid of the dark again.”

"Thank you so much~ I'll keep telling Cecilia bedtime stories so our little angel from Rhodes Island can have sweet dreams."

Mei Xue was naturally happy, and her physical discomfort was also greatly relieved. The little fox gently picked up Cecilia and placed her by the bed. He originally intended to cover her with a blanket, tell her a story, and then leave, but after thinking about it, he kicked off his shoes and climbed into bed with her.

Cecilia instinctively shrank into Mei Xue's arms, rubbing against his tail. Perhaps finding the blanket too cumbersome, Cecilia simply used Mei Xue's tail to cover herself.

"Brother, what's today's story?"

"A story, a story... um, let me tell you the story of my past relationship with an older woman?"

"My brother always has a lot of sisters."

The little angel subconsciously made a comment: as far as Cecilia knew, there were a lot of people on Rhodes Island who claimed to be Mei Xue's older sister. The little fox seemed to call everyone who looked older than her "older sister."

"It's different. This time I'm talking about my older sister. You haven't met her yet, but you will definitely meet her in the future."

Perhaps it was because of some memory that had returned today, but Mei Xue was particularly eager to talk to someone about Su Xue'er. Of course, the little fox knew that mentioning these things could lead to some bad consequences, so he took out his umbrella, opened it, and isolated himself in a space where no one would disturb him.

"My brother's older sister?"

"Yes, her name is Su Xue'er, but we must keep it a secret from others and not mention her name. Treat this as our secret."

The reason he said this was because Mei Xue didn't want Cecilia to bring bad luck when she mentioned her name. He absolutely didn't want anything to happen to the little angel. Looking at Cecilia like this, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he were looking in a mirror, of course, in a spiritual sense.

The little fox and the little angel have many similarities, which is why Mei Xue decided to tell her the story. He believed that Cecilia would have a different perspective.

"Shh~ Cecilia, remember this~"

The little angel made a shushing gesture with a serious expression, which made Mei Xue pinch her cheek. He suddenly understood how Talulah felt when she first picked him up. No, wait a minute, would he become like Talulah?

No, no, I can't think about these things. The little fox doesn't want to end up in jail.

"My sister is a very good person. She protects me, takes care of me, and educates me. She is more than just my sister..."

Looking back now, even though many of her memories haven't returned, Mei Xue can still feel Su Xue'er's love for her. She's not just a sister, but also Mei Xue's teacher, and even a mother. For a long time, she played all the roles Mei Xue needed in her life. She was sometimes gentle, sometimes willful, and her personality was never fixed. Her mood was as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky.

She represents the highest position in Mei Xue's heart regarding her feelings for others.

Even now, only Talulah has actually gotten close to this place while Mei Xue is still confused and weak.

"Throughout those long years, the siblings relied on each other and were each other's only support. In the endless time, no one but each other could stay with them forever."

As Nine-Colored Deer spoke, she picked up her tea and took another sip. Across from her, Surtr rested her chin on her hand. Chen Huijie and Ling were extremely interested in the stories she was telling, especially Ling. She really hadn't expected Nine-Colored Deer to have known Mei Xue so long ago. This guy was really hiding it too well.

"What about them?"

"They all came later, and of course, so did I."

As she spoke, the Nine-Colored Deer couldn't help but recall her first encounter with Mei Xue. She was probably the first among that group to find Mei Xue, because Su Xue'er had just gone out that day. However, by the time she saw Mei Xue, the little fox already had seven tails.

"So it goes without saying how high that woman's status is in Mei Xue's heart, right?"

"No one can match him."

"How does Talulah compare to her?"

Chen Huijie pondered that Talulah now held a significant place in Mei Xue's heart. Putting aside everything else, even if Talulah asked Mei Xue to organize the wedding now, the little fox would probably just go and get the marriage certificate with her.

"That dragon girl, she's almost there. After all, Mei Xue was quite easy to fool when she had amnesia."

"...Wait a minute, you know Talulah?"

Surtr suddenly realized that this was a blind spot. It seemed that the Nine-Colored Deer had never seen Talulah before, and even on Rhodes Island, few people knew about that dragon girl.

"Of course we know. Didn't Mei Xue go to the Ursus Snowfield a few years ago for her sake? What, you didn't know?"

Nine-Colored Deer's rhetorical question stunned everyone. Damn it, how could they possibly know about this? But Mei Xue actually entered the snowfield for Talulah's sake? That doesn't make sense. Did they know each other back then?

"So it seems Mei Xue didn't say anything. But don't you guys find it strange that Talulah was the one who picked up Mei Xue, and why the Reunion Movement developed so smoothly after that?"

"what do you mean……"

"Meeting Talulah and supporting the Reunion Movement were originally part of the plans that Mei Xue and the Doctor had agreed upon back then. I thought you already knew about it."

Seeing Chen Huijie's expression that seemed to say, "Do I have something wrong with my ears?", Nine-Colored Deer shrugged helplessly.

"Over the years, Mei Xue and the Doctor have traveled to so many places, not just for tourism. They've been to Letania, Columbia, Da Yan, and even Sargon and Minos. The Reunion Movement has gained so much support, and it's not just about mutual interests."

"How did Mei Xue manage to get so much help for Talulah?"

Chen Huijie's fatal question plunged the atmosphere into awkwardness for a moment. Many things flashed through the Nine-Colored Deer's eyes, such as what the universe is, what Terra is, snow leopards are born of mothers, and the earth is square.

"You'll have to ask those people, like the twin queens of Letania, the second Sicilian of Syracuse, the heroine of Minos, a queen chieftain of Sargon, and the countess of Victoria."

"Why are they all women?"

"So, do you think anyone would fall for Miss Doctor's seduction scheme?"

Surtr's addition immediately brought to mind the Doctor's slovenly appearance and eccentric personality. After thinking about it, they shook their heads, realizing it was indeed unlikely.

"With Mei Xue's abilities and the Doctor's scheming, it wouldn't be difficult to push forward a reunion movement. Ursus is doomed."

"No, if it's so simple to just promote a reunion movement, then why didn't Mei Xue and the Doctor manage to defend the Tower of Babel back then?"

This is a crucial question. Although Chen Huijie is not a core operator of Rhodes Island, she is essentially tied to Rhodes Island because of Mei Xue. Therefore, she knows that Rhodes Island's predecessor was the Babel Tower, the power of the Sarkaz Demon King Theresa, and even knows that Theresa is inside Amiya's body.

"This involves a bit of confidentiality, um, wait a moment."

The Nine-Colored Deer took out a piece of seven-colored branch from its sleeve and casually flicked it twice in the air. Surtr and Rei both keenly sensed that something was different about their surroundings.

"Although we can't directly change the surrounding environment like Mei Xue did, it's still possible to move a part of Qingqiu over, so we won't have to worry about being overheard during our conversation."

Without offering any further explanation as to who would overhear, the Nine-Colored Deer put away the branch and spoke after a moment.

"I once asked Mei Xue about this. It wasn't that he couldn't protect it, but that he couldn't protect it. In all the best possible outcomes he saw, the Tower of Babel would cease to exist, and Theresa would have to die."

"Only when the Tower of Babel is destroyed and Theresa is dead will this internal strife among the Sarkaz stop; otherwise, only destruction awaits Terra."

"Indeed, if one can see the future and grasp the past, one can manipulate the fate of the world at will and modify everything that exists now. But this is like throwing a stone into a calm lake. The ripples caused by a small stone are not large, and the impact of the small stone can be clearly seen. But if it is a large stone, then the ripples it brings will undoubtedly make the entire lake surface chaotic and the water murky. In such a case, if you want to see the future, you will have to pay a certain price."

Halfway through her speech, the Nine-Colored Deer suddenly remembered something. Su Xue'er was the one who wanted to see through the muddy waters. She did see it, but she also drowned in that lake.

"Theresia and the Tower of Babel are like that big rock."

It's not that it can't be changed, but that of all the choices, this is the one that shouldn't have been made.
