Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mei Xue sensed something was wrong, but Ling Lan wouldn't give him much of a chance. Su Xue'er was the same; after so long without a meal, she was bound to have a good one.

"It's okay, Cecilia is asleep, we won't disturb her."

“You said the same thing last time, and as a result, she slept for several hours the next day.”

Despite her words, Mei Xue couldn't refuse Ling Lan, and Su Xue'er was also eager to try. The two foxes thus became entangled, tail to tail, and the rest... well, the reviewer is watching, so it's hard to say.

On the other side of Rhodes Island, a group of girls were gazing longingly in the direction of the Great Yan, almost turning into statues of waiting husbands. Rosemary and Little Carp were especially so. Rosemary, needless to say, was filled with resentment at the thought that Lily of the Valley might be having an "intimate interaction" with Snow White right now. Sisterly love? What sisterly love? She's a vixen!

Xiao Ke and Zi Yue's reason for spending four years with Mei Xue was quite simple: they were hungry again.

Although Ziyue's appetite wasn't as big as Xiaoke's, it was by no means small. In fact, this girl could eat quite a lot. However, she preferred to secretly move Rhodes Island's supplies to open areas like the deck to build herself a nest. Therefore, the two of them were strictly forbidden from approaching the canteen outside of mealtimes, and were also not allowed to appear near the warehouse.

"When will Mei Xue come back? Gu, Xiao Ke is starving."

Listening to Ceobe's complaints, Rosemary couldn't help but glance at her. Then her gaze lingered on Ceobe's chest, and comparing it to her own, the little cat suddenly had an urge to jump off the deck. Was this a bulge that someone her height could have? She was only 153cm tall!

Looking at her unremarkable chest, Rosemary comforted herself, thinking that Mei Xue must prefer smaller ones, and that she must have been worried about her when she used her mouth, which was why she didn't use too much force. Well, her figure is all fake; she still has a lot of potential.

"Ziyue too."

The most frustrated one has to be Ziyue. She came to Rhodes Island specifically for Meixue, but after all this time, she has only been inside Meixue's dormitory once.

Although Wu Lian didn't lean against the deck railing like the others, she still regularly passed through Mei Xue's corridor every day to knock on Ling Lan's door and ask Xiao Mo Ti to see who else was in Mei Xue's room. Currently, apart from Hong, very few people regularly stay inside.

The girls of Rhodes Island weren't the only ones feeling down; there was also Miss Afdorgha, who was currently in the Sargon Rainforest. Ever since she said goodbye to Mei Xue many years ago and gave that box to the Nine-Colored Deer, she had come to Sargon and found the underground city of the Durin people by following the lucky buff given to her by Mei Xue.

It has to be said that the Durin people are indeed a rather peculiar species in Terra, but their simple nature does make Afdokga feel very warm. However, she still hasn't forgotten what Mei Xue said and has chosen to join the Reunion Movement. As for the Durin people, Afdokga has no intention of letting them participate in the struggle, so she uses Mei Xue's connections with Emperor Sargon to turn this rainforest into a channel for communication between the Durin people and the surface world.

However, after communicating with the strange creatures of Akahura who used the thickness of their tails as a measure of beauty, Afdokja discovered a problem.

"You mean this thing has always been worshipped in your temple?"

Looking at the rusty-looking ball in her hand, and after receiving a nod from Temimi, Avdoga looked incredulously at the central square of Dulin City, where there was a statue, not large, but polished to a high shine.

Those are called Haro, and they are said to be the mentors of the Durinians. They imparted to the Durinians their earliest scientific knowledge and shaped the optimistic nature of this race.

But the problem lies in the still-broken Haro in Aphrodite's hands, with a line of words deeply engraved on its back: Find Meixue, Precyth is waiting for you.

Chapter 48 Miss Ling, in a Hurry to Get Married

"Urgent notice: All residents of the city are requested to seek refuge in the west of the city before 11:00 AM tomorrow. Please take your valuables with you. Yumen is expected to collide directly with the natural disaster. Oh, another natural disaster. Quickly tell everyone to pack their belongings."

Natural disasters are not unfamiliar to the residents of Yumen. Although the number of natural disasters within the Great Yan is not large and they are protected by the fox spirit, Yumen is located on the border of the Great Yan, where natural disasters occur frequently. Although they can avoid them most of the time, they have also had to endure them.

Few people noticed that the Yumen government did not report the severity of the natural disaster. People went home, ate their meals, slept, and packed their things to go to the west of the city to seek refuge the next morning. They had long been accustomed to this kind of life, and it was impossible to live in such a place without some awareness.

"The intensity of this natural disaster is three times stronger than the strongest one that Yumen has experienced before. Even with the Screen Guards fully deployed, there are still some risks involved."

As Zuo Xuanliao spoke, he noticed that the Grand Tutor's gaze involuntarily turned to Mei Xue. He stood on the roof of the city tower, gazing into the distance. The nine tails swayed slightly in the wind, like reeds in a lotus pond. The moonlight made Mei Xue appear even more flawless.

Under the moonlight, Zuo Xuanliao saw Mei Xue's profile and her left eye, which was as golden as glass. Despite being dressed in many layers, Zuo Xuanliao suddenly felt a chill in his heart. There was a deep loneliness in her eyes, and an even deeper indifference.

Looking at Mei Xue like that, one couldn't help but feel something indescribable. Zuo Xuanliao had been guarding the border for decades, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid her eyes, even if it was just a glimpse of her.

"Don't worry, Yumen can still hold on; it's just a natural disaster of this magnitude."

Mei Xue heard Zuo Xuanliao's words. At this distance, it was the same as if he were right next to him. But the little fox wasn't worried about the upcoming natural disaster. He just couldn't accept Linglan's or Su Xue'er's idea of ​​a "three-day, three-night battle." After exhausting Linglan's strength, he came here to find peace and quiet.

The little fox was surprised to find his ex-wife here. Judging from the smell of alcohol around him, it was no wonder she couldn't be found today; she must have drunk quite a bit. He wondered if she had paid for the drinks.

Mei Xue squatted down and poked Ling's cheek. She twitched her fox ears. This wasn't the first time the little fox had done this. Since becoming her wife, Ling often took advantage of her favor to go down the mountain to buy wine. Several times he got drunk and forgot to pay for the wine, so Mei Xue had to pay him back afterwards.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

When one is drunk and confused, one's dreams become clear. Ling inherited the poetry of the Great Yan Dynasty and also possesses the ability to dream. In her dreams, she can go to many places. It is inappropriate to judge whether Ling is sober simply by whether she is drunk or not.

So when Mei Xue poked her face, Ling opened her eyes slightly at the first moment. After seeing that it was Mei Xue, she simply wrapped her tail around him and lay down on his lap.

"Did you remember to pay for the drinks this time?"

"I remember... um, there's one more place I haven't paid for. Their spicy liquor was so good that I got tipsy and didn't pay, so I came straight here."

Rubbing her head, Ling honestly confessed the matter. After all, this wasn't the first time, and Mei Xue and she had already developed a tacit understanding.

"Then I'll go pay the money first."

"No rush, let me rest for a bit first. It's been so long since I've done this..."

The smell of alcohol on my body was masked by Mei Xue's fragrance, making me feel much more relaxed, like someone who had just woken up from a nap and wanted to stretch out.

"It's been many years, but we can do this more often in the future."

"That's wonderful... Hmm, the moonlight is lovely tonight."

Mei Xue gently protected Ling with her tail, letting her lean against her. Ling looked up at the sky; the two moons were still bright, and the starry sky was vast and beautiful. If she weren't so drunk, Ling would definitely have recited a poem.

"It's pretty good, but don't touch its tail."

"it is good."

Ling Guaiguai retracted its tail and then looked at Mei Xue without thinking about anything. Mei Xue, who was thinking, had a unique charm that made people fall in love. Perhaps it was because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the more Ling looked at her, the more satisfied he felt. However, he then shook his head.

"I suddenly feel that it was better when it had three tails."

"I think so too."

With her memories restored and her strength increased, it means there are some things she can't avoid and some things she has to do. Although this version of Mei Xue is the most familiar to her, Ling still prefers the innocent and silly Mei Xue from before. Oh well, it's not like she wouldn't like Mei Xue if she changed into something else.

"Nine tails, now even the Great Yan Dynasty will probably have some complaints about you."

"That's normal. Unchecked power is dangerous, especially when that power is entirely in my hands."

"Fortunately, it happened to you."

With Mei Xue on his body, this power wouldn't get out of control, which was a good thing for everyone. Ling shook the wine gourd and found it was empty, so he had no choice but to put it away.

"I have some here, here you go."

Mei Xue took out a jar of plum blossom wine given to her by the Nine-Colored Deer from its tail and stuffed it into Ling's arms. Ignoring Ling's somewhat surprised look, she took out an apple and started eating it.

"Why did you finally let me drink it this time?"

"Just tell me if you're going to drink it or not. If you're not, I'll put it away."

"Drink it, it's a waste not to drink it."

He got up, removed the seal, and drank it straight away. This peach blossom wine is definitely one of the best wines in the Great Yan Dynasty. It is not spicy when it goes down, but has an endless aftertaste that makes one feel refreshed.

She took a big gulp, which brought a flush of intoxication to her face, but she remained quite sober. Her tail was curled around the wine jar, and she rested her chin on her hand, leaning against her thigh, glancing at Mei Xue.

"Can't you tell me?"

"...You can't tell anyone."

This ex-wife wasn't just a figurehead; she could tell at a glance that Mei Xue had something on her mind. Otherwise, the little fox would never have given her alcohol, and might even have pinched her face.

Moreover, Mei Xue gave her a bad feeling now. She was too ethereal, even more elusive than those dreams. Especially her eyes, which were unfathomable. She felt that her gaze was too cold and did not match Mei Xue's smile at all.

"So, he's planning something again, isn't he?"

After taking another sip of wine, Ling, though unsure of Mei Xue's intentions, knew that if even the nine-tailed fox couldn't speak, it couldn't be anything simple.

“I don’t understand what you can see or know right now, but… I support you.”

"What if I wanted to destroy the world?"

"Um……"

This made Ling fall silent for a moment. She hesitated for a while, and finally smiled with a sense of relief.

"Then just remember to leave me the wine."

"The first thing I'll do then is pour all this wine out! Not a single drop will be left for you!"

Despite saying that, Mei Xue's smile was exceptionally happy, and her eyes softened. Having someone to encourage her was something to be overjoyed about.

"Fine, then let's get a divorce!"

"It's as if we've ever been officially married."

"Shall we get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning?"

"If a natural disaster strikes tomorrow morning, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed."

Hearing this, Ling scratched her head helplessly, thinking to herself that this natural disaster really came at the worst possible time. If it were any other time, she would have fooled Mei Xue countless times. This little fox is not so easy to fool now.

"Shall we go now?"

"Everyone else is off work by now, but you slept until 11 o'clock."

Mei Xue rolled her eyes at him, letting him figure it out himself, then lay back down, seemingly counting stars.

But in reality, the little fox was just getting familiar with his own power. He wanted to observe different world lines, but he discovered something rather strange: it seemed that there was no trace of him in other world lines, and the people in those worlds were also somewhat different from the people he knew.

"That's a little strange."

The little fox's tail swayed gently, and the different world lines were arranged in order, like branches of a tree. Near parallel world lines were always highly similar, but with subtle differences. As the distance between world lines increased, these differences accumulated and eventually led to the two world lines taking completely different paths.

So normally, there should be traces of him in world lines similar to Mei Xue's, but now there is no trace of him at all, and Mei Xue and Su Xue'er don't even exist in the surrounding world lines.

No, it seems there's a timeline where Mei Xue's traces exist, but it's too far removed from the timeline Mei Xue is currently in, essentially a completely different development path, which is rather absurd.

(You can take some time to check out what that world line is all about.)

Thinking this, the little fox hugged its tail and drifted off to sleep, deciding to spend the night on the roof of the city gate tower.

Meanwhile, in Ursus, Talulah was delighted to see the silver ring on her finger. It was made by Mei Xue herself, with a silver fox holding a fiery red gem, which looked as if flames were burning within it in the firelight. It was very beautiful.

This was Mei Xue's response to Talulah's marriage proposal. In his heart, the flame was Talulah's color, and Talulah was particularly pleased with this sentiment.

“I said, why don’t we take her to the medical department to get checked out? She’s been grinning like that for hours.”

Frostnova was somewhat annoyed. Although she and Alina also had rings given to them by Mei Xue, they were clearly not as meaningful as the one on Talulah's hand. However, the dragon girl had been showing off in front of them every now and then these past few days, deliberately displaying that ring, which made Frostnova so angry that she wanted to chop off Talulah's claw.

"I think it's alright. After all, I don't know which innocent girl fainted when she received the ring and even pinned Mei Xue down."

Alina gently stroked her face with one hand, seemingly lost in thought, but her gaze kept drifting towards Frostnova.

"I...I happened to be anemic at that time!"

Yes, yes, yes~

Facing the blushing Frostnova, Alina was still somewhat considerate of her, otherwise the girl would have been too shy to show her any face.

Meanwhile, Patriot carefully handed the ring in his hand to Mudrock.
