Talulah, I'm still a child.

Chapter 58 Afterwards, one... eight cigarettes

"Ouch... *Lungmen underworld swear words* It hurts so much, it feels like my body is going to fall apart."

Around noon, Lin Yuxia opened her eyes in a daze, feeling sore all over, as if Dio had driven over her with a road roller. Every muscle was complaining about her lack of self-control the night before and was completely out of control.

Because she had just woken up, Lin Yuxia was still a little groggy and only cared about her discomfort, completely forgetting to observe her surroundings. She only felt that there was a strangely pleasant floral fragrance in the air, quite strong, as if someone had sprayed air freshener on her.

"Strange, could it be because of this bed...where is the bed?"

Lin Yuxia initially thought it was a problem with the bed, but when she reached out and touched it, she found that the bed she was lying on was much softer than the one in the inn. More importantly, she touched a leg that was a little sticky.

This discovery instantly woke Lin Yuxia up. She instinctively tried to back away, but due to back pain, weak legs, and numb feet, she almost fell to the ground. She struggled to get up and realized that the leg belonged to Shi Huaiya. This proud and straightforward young lady was also fast asleep. If Lin Yuxia hadn't been able to see her faint breathing, she would have suspected that she was dead.

But that's not the point. Lin Yuxia noticed that Swire was now meticulous and had billions on her hands. The key point was that she herself was just like that. Looking around, she found that all eight girls in the room were pretty much the same, except for Surtr, who was still wearing two pairs of stockings full of holes.

Oh, clothes aren't hard to find, they're all over there, but obviously none of them are wearable anymore. Putting aside whether they're torn or not, the stains on them made her instinctively choose to stay away from them. She started to recall what exactly happened last night. If you didn't know better, you'd think this was some kind of battlefield.

"What happened? I was definitely sleeping in my own room last night, how could this be..."

Lin Yuxia's mind was in a daze for a moment. She had guessed what was causing the soreness and discomfort all over her body, but she still didn't want to admit that she had become a woman so confusedly.

Knowing that she had seen her own torn black stockings in Swire's mouth, she suddenly remembered why they were there. It was because Lin Yuxia had personally taken off Ning Cheng's stockings to gag Swire, because she thought the cat was meowing too loudly.

As this incident came to mind, Lin Yuxia finally sorted out the chaotic scene from last night that had prompted the author to write 30,000 words of extra chapters. Then she fell into deep self-doubt: Wasn't that a dream?

"What have I done...?"

If Mei Xue had taken the initiative, then even if she were a fox spirit, Lin Yuxia wouldn't have let it go. But the key point is that she herself was the one who took the initiative. Not only did she push the door open and enter with Du Yaoye, but she also pushed Shi Huaiya aside and took her place. Honestly, Lin Yuxia now feels like dying when she thinks about it. How could she not have thought that there was no such realistic pain in her dream?

Well, that's it. Maybe I should just find a military camp in Yumen, surrender myself, and then commit suicide. I'm already not clean anymore.

"Hmm...hmm?"

Perhaps Lin Yuxia made too much noise, because Shi Huaiya, who hadn't had a hard time last night, was also woken up. She scratched her head and struggled to get up. After finding something stuffed in her mouth, she reached out and pulled it out, then angrily threw it at Lin Yuxia.

"You damn rat, aren't you disgusted?!"

"Who told you to shout so loudly! Don't you mind disturbing the neighbors?"

Lin Yuxia was already annoyed, and now she was even angrier. Besides, her two stockings weren't dirty; she had just changed them after showering before going to bed. Moreover, Swire had eaten so much vixen, yet she still had the nerve to complain about her.

"You're talking as if your voice isn't loud! Your voice is practically carried all the way to the inn across the street!"

"It's all because you pushed Mei Xue from behind!"

Lin Yuxia gets angry just thinking about this. Swire and Chen Huijie are really inhuman. They don't care if it's her first time or not. They just know how to fool Meixue into working hard. The key is that Lin Yuxia was sleepwalking last night. It's not that she was arrogant. It's just that Wei Yanwu would probably get slapped twice if he stood in front of her.

"Nonsense! I was only halfway through when you barged in, shoved me aside without a word, and you're acting like a monster!"

"Then do you want to explain what these words I'm about to say mean?"

"What are you all arguing about so early in the morning... Ouch, that hurts!"

Du Yaoye was also awakened by the two voices. She groggily opened her eyes and got up. Then she felt the same way as Lin Yuxia. Oh no, they did have the same experience, but Lin Yuxia was in a worse situation than Du Yaoye last night. At least she didn't have Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia targeting her.

"Wait a minute, what the hell is going on? Why am I here? Where are my clothes?"

Just like Lin Yuxia at the beginning, Du Yaoye was also dumbfounded. This is not fair! She just... damn it, she remembered!

"Your clothes are over there, but they're probably unwearable now."

Lin Yuxia pointed to the clothes that were carelessly thrown on the ground, and Du Yaoye's clothes were among them. They looked unwearable unless she didn't mind losing face again.

"What happened? Where is...Mei Xue?"

"Mei Xue is probably already out shopping with Cecilia. Hmm, I should have been more restrained last night."

Lin Qingyan fared much better than Lin Yuxia and Du Yaoye. Having inherited Su Xueer's memories, she was mentally prepared for what she might have encountered last night. Her physical condition was also quite good, and thankfully, nothing went wrong. She felt very satisfied, and although her body ached, she was full of energy and went to sleep at three o'clock.

"Wait a minute, when did Lily of the Valley arrive?"

Swire noticed that there was another girl named Lily of the Valley in the room. Her condition... Lin Yuxia subconsciously shuddered when she saw her. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her. Was the girl alright?

"It was right after you passed out last night, I remember we were all almost at our breaking point, wait a minute... how long did she hold on?"

"She probably held on until this morning, since Mei Xue definitely couldn't sleep last night. Here, that's for you."

Lin Qingyan stood up, took out a set of clothes from Mei Xue's wardrobe that were exactly the same as Lin Yuxia's usual clothes, and threw them over. She touched her beautiful golden hair that was stuck together by something and couldn't help but sigh. Couldn't this little fox be a little more considerate of how hard it was for her to take care of her hair?

"Are my clothes still new?"

"Mei Xue's tail has everything, so don't bother with such a small thing."

Shi Huaiya waved her hand dismissively, but she never expected Lin Qingyan to find the location where Mei Xue had left her clothes so easily.

Lin Yuxia originally planned to change her clothes directly, but when she saw that she looked like she had sunscreen all over her body, she rubbed her temples helplessly.

"I'd better take a shower first."

Du Yaoye was still in a state of mental breakdown, so Lin Qingyan planned to calm her down first. Otherwise, if she was so desperate that she banged her head against the wall and damaged it, she would have to pay a lot of money. Lin Yuxia planned to take a shower first, and at least erase the words that Shi Huaiya had written last night. She would remember this debt for now and deal with it later.

"Don't just stand there, there's nothing we can do now that things have come to this."

"How could I..."

Let alone Du Yaoye, even if Conan came and looked at the surveillance footage, it would be useless. No matter how you look at it, it's really hard to accept. The key point is that none of this was Mei Xue's initiative. It was Du Yaoye who offered herself up and took care of everything.

Admittedly, Du Yaoye liked Mei Xue quite a bit, but that was just admiration for his fox spirit identity and a simple appreciation for his cuteness. The idea of ​​becoming a fox spirit's bride was something she only said when she was young and didn't understand things, and it actually came true!

"We don't know either. Last night, the two of you just barged into the house out of nowhere and joined in without saying a word."

Lin Qingyan racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what these two girls were after. Last night, she thought that these two girls, like herself, simply liked Mei Xue and didn't want to miss this opportunity. Now it seems that's not the case. But last night, they seemed to be clear-headed. When Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya were arguing, they spoke so clearly that they even said things that children shouldn't hear.

"There must be something fishy going on, there must be... Could it be Mei Xue?"

"Impossible. Mei Xue would never take the initiative, much less use his abilities for this. He's not..."

Lin Qingyan was about to say that he wasn't Su Xue'er when he suddenly realized, "Yeah, Mei Xue would never do such a thing, but Su Xue'er could totally do it, and she even has a criminal record. That's how she fooled the Nine-Colored Deer!"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing... but as Mei Xue's older sister, I still feel I should apologize to you."

Helplessly covering her face, Lin Qingyan suddenly felt a sense of guilt. She knew what kind of person Su Xue'er was. That girl was an absolute "benefit-to-Mei-Xue" person. She would do almost anything she thought was good for Mei-Xue, regardless of whether Mei-Xue needed it or not, and she wouldn't care about other people's feelings. To her, Mei-Xue was everything, and even her jealous nature made her willing to make some concessions for Mei-Xue.

Or perhaps in Su Xue'er's mind, Lin Yuxia and Du Yaoye weren't really rivals at all. No, maybe even Talulah wasn't worthy of her. Lin Yuxia and Du Yaoye were probably just little snacks she brought to Mei Xue because she was worried that Mei Xue wouldn't have a good time.

"Swire! I, the Lungmen underworld swear word, am going to kill you! This ink can't be washed off! What kind of garbage did you write?!"

Lin Yuxia's voice came from the bathroom in the guest room. That was Surtr's main battlefield last night, so there were quite a few traces there. Lin Yuxia was both ashamed and angry, but she didn't know what to say.

"It seems Miss Lin is quite depressed as well."

"It would be strange not to feel upset if something like this happened to me. I never expected to drag you into it too."

"Not really... After all, I wandered in while sleepwalking. It's unbelievable that someone can sleepwalk and still be as awake as if they were fully conscious."

Recalling her state last night, Du Yaoye felt very uncomfortable, but she could only accept reality. Although she wasn't very bright, she never got stuck on things. If Mei Xue had taken the initiative, she could be angry or upset, but this was something she had caused while sleepwalking. She couldn't just go and bang her head against a wall, could she?

"Try to think about things in a positive light; it will make you feel better. Mei Xue won't just ignore everything."

"That's true. At least now my dad won't have to worry about me not being able to get married. I just didn't expect things to turn out this way. But at least I don't have to worry about being pressured to get married anymore."

Seeing the relieved look on Du Yaoye's face, Lin Qingyan thought for a moment and decided not to discourage her. Because, putting everything else aside, she knew best what the parents of Da Yan were like. They would tell you not to rush to buy a car and to get your driver's license first, but once you had your license, they would start urging you to buy a car so that your license wouldn't get stagnant. They would tell you to find a partner first and not rush to get married and have children, but once you actually found one, they would immediately start urging you to get married and have children.

So although Du Yaoye escaped her family's pressure to get married, she'll probably be bothered by the pressure to have children for quite some time.

"Try meditating and regulating your breathing for a bit. Those... fox spirits from last night are good for your body. Try to absorb some of them."

Having inherited some of Su Xue'er's memories, Lin Qingyan was quite clear about this. Du Yaoye was stunned, not expecting it could be done this way. He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

As time went by, around noon, almost all the girls except Suzuran woke up. Chen Huijie and Hoshiguma were fine, Lin Yuxia and Swire had now formed a grudge. Surtr was still somewhat aloof and arrogant, but she had a mature air about her that made people want to take a second look. Last night, besides Suzuran and Hoshiguma, she stayed up the longest, which was admirable.

Do you want to eat more?

After showering and brushing her teeth, Chen Huijie felt refreshed and her body seemed to have become much lighter. However, everyone just shook their heads. Their stomachs were almost full of water, yet they were still eating. Especially Surtr and Hoshiguma, who ate the most last night and almost threw up when they woke up. Perhaps it was because of their particularly good figures, and the protrusion in a certain place made Rosemary grin anxiously.

"Okay, then let's talk about it."

Since no one is planning to eat and everyone is exhausted, it's best to wait until we've recovered our strength to clean the room. Du Yaoye and Lin Yuxia, as well as Lin Qingyan and Surtur, all need some time to recover, so we can use this time to talk about serious matters.

“Lin Qingyan and Surtur know this, but you two probably don’t know that Mei Xue’s luck with men is a bit too strong, so… only a small part of it is here.”

When this was mentioned, Chen Huijie herself looked somewhat helpless. There was nothing she could do; she couldn't prevent it. Even she herself was a thief in Talulah's eyes. Everyone was stealing food, so it was better to be open and honest now.

"So, there are some things I need to tell Meixue when she comes back later."

"Achoo!"

The little fox, far away in Longmen, sneezed adorably, then continued eating apple pie with the little angel.

Chapter 59 Mei Xue, who was tied up

To be honest, Mei Xue was a relatively unfamiliar person to the Great Emperor. Su Xue'er and her brother had settled in the Great Yan Dynasty ten thousand years ago, and Mei Xue rarely went out. All his impressions of this little fox came from Su Xue'er's oral accounts.

In Su Xueer's description, Mei Xue is a near-perfect person except for his brain. He is cute, sensible, well-behaved, and wise beyond his years, so he sometimes gives people the feeling of being intelligent.

But the most important point is the difference in ability between the siblings.

Su Xue'er is a monster, a complete monster, a walking calamity. Wherever she goes, disaster is destined to happen. Back when the Great Emperor was still on the Arctic ice, her appearance almost caused the entire iceberg to melt and the sea to swallow the whole land.

However, according to Su Xue'er herself, she only accounts for one-tenth, while Mei Xue alone accounts for the remaining nine-tenths. But it is unknown how much Mei Xue with eight tails is different from her peak.

"After Mei Xue got more tails, she looked... how should I put it, more pleasing to the eye."

Exusiai stroked her chin and pondered for a long time before finally coming to this conclusion. But this was the simplest and most straightforward explanation: looking pleasing to the eye and calming to the mind was everyone's first impression of Mei Xue.

"That's the feeling."

Kong nodded. If you really had to describe it, you could compare everyone in life to a beverage. Some people are like cola, and some are like lemonade. So, because of different tastes, there are differences between people who don't like each other and who do.

But unlike others, Mei Xue is like sweet spring water. Everyone may have drinks they like and dislike, but no one dislikes water, doesn't depend on water, or isn't familiar with water. Even if they don't like it too much, they certainly don't dislike it.

"Rather than saying that I find it pleasing to the eye, it's more accurate to say that no one in this world doesn't want good luck to come their way. So what is there to dislike? It's more accurate to say that I'm happy about it."

The Emperor swirled his wine glass and succinctly revealed the essence of the matter: although he had now completed his transformation and was no longer simply a person of "good" fate, Mei Xue was still an auspicious deity, representing fate's favor and love towards humanity.

No one wants to have more good luck in their life, so no one would dislike Mei Xue.

The Emperor knew this because he had seen Su Xue'er in stark contrast to Mei Xue, who had already completed her transformation. Su Xue'er was the embodiment of utter misfortune, making people feel distant at first glance and instinctively unwilling to get close. Some even felt frightened by her.

Given such a disparity, coupled with years of torment, how could Su Xue'er not have any complaints? Therefore, her decision not to devour Mei Xue was an unexpected one for everyone.

"That's right, everyone prays for good luck, so... what are you doing, Croissant Sister?"
