Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Ah."

Mei Xue curled up in a ball, clutching his tail, wishing he could bury himself somewhere. His face was as red as an apple, making Miss Blood Demon want to tease him more and more, and even had a desire to take a bite.

"I...I'm going back to sleep now!"

Perhaps those memories were truly unbearable to recall, for Mei Xue blushed and ran away. Miss Blood Demon couldn't help but marvel; such a Mei Xue was truly a rare sight. But could it really only be some unbearable memories? Judging from Mei Xue's demeanor, she didn't seem to be lying.

In fact, the little fox was not lying. The memories he had just regained were truly unbearable for him, otherwise he wouldn't have blushed so much that he ran away.

However, Mei Xue certainly couldn't just throw her dark history into a box to forget it completely. The most important function of these boxes was to serve as anchor points, helping her to determine the time when each of her choices led to a major branch in the timeline.

But this time is different. Mei Xue only sensed one timeline where she existed, and he had already taken control of that timeline. Yet, there were still two boxes like these. Could the anchor points inside really only contain her memories?

Mei Xue tried hard to shake off the memory of how she was a child and was so afraid of heights that she refused to come down from a tree, which ultimately led to Su Xue'er cutting down the tree. It wasn't easy for Mei Xue to find useful information from this vast sea of ​​data.

To his surprise, the memories preserved at this anchor point were about his time deep in the snowfield, the part that was vague to him.

After meeting Alina and Talulah and asking Afdokga to deliver the anchor box to the Nine-Colored Deer, Mei Xue also met Patriot and others. However, because of his special abilities, Patriot and Frostnova did not remember who gave him the supplies.

Back in her dorm, Mei Xue locked the door, closed the windows, blocked the vents, and then dragged Hong, the only one hiding in her room, out from under the bed and threw her on it.

"go to bed!"

Ignoring Red's bewildered expression, the little fox kicked off its shoes and pounced on her, then hugged its tail and nestled gently in Red's arms before falling asleep.

The reason the little fox did this was because he knew that even if he blocked the doors and windows, Red Riding Hood would still find a way to get in. Moreover, Little Red Riding Hood was no longer satisfied with simply attacking Plum Blossom's tail. Sometimes when the little fox woke up early, he would feel a little sticky on his body. Hmm, it was drool.

So it's better to just let Hong sleep with us, to avoid her causing any more trouble.

"Red, goodnight, Meixue."

Being so close to the little fox filled Hong with a long-lost, indescribable joy. She was not good with words, but looking at Mei Xue in her arms, she wanted to do something for him but was worried that she would disturb his sleep.

Red isn't very emotional, but she has a special fondness for the Rupo, her kind, especially their tails. Provence has been harassed by her countless times, and because of her identity as a werewolf hunter, the Rupo are terrified of her. To put it simply, even Lappland would instinctively shiver and break out in a cold sweat.

So Mei Xue is very special to Little Red Riding Hood. This little fox is not afraid of her, and his tail can also arouse Red's strong possessiveness. Many people on Rhodes Island like Mei Xue, but Red is a special one.

Anyway, for her, Mei Xue's tail was nice to touch, and the little fox's lips tasted great, that was enough. As for the other things the little fox and Kal'tsit had done, Hong wanted to try them out, but Mei Xue's tails wouldn't agree. Every time she tried to help the little fox remove those fabric garments, her tails would shake her off.

From this, we can infer that Mei Xue's tail probably really did receive higher education.

However, Mei Xue didn't care about that. The little fox quickly fell into a sweet dream. Meanwhile, in the Ursus Empire, a middle-aged man in an ancient monk's robe sighed helplessly as he watched the ice crystals that had never melted in a thousand years crumble into pieces in front of him.

Because he knew that when this ice crystal shattered, it would mean that the life of the Ursus Empire was truly on its last legs, and the Reunion Movement would be unable to stop it.

"Has the matter concerning Grand Prince Baikal been resolved?"

"Hiss... He died of his own heart disease, which didn't cause us much trouble. Those rotten parasites divided up his estate immediately, but they didn't dare to touch the Third Army."

Heavy breathing could be heard from the ventilator of the Inner Guard. They were supposed to be dealing with the matter of the Grand Prince Baikal, but they did not expect that he would die first. There were no signs of foul play at the scene, and the doctor's test results were the same.

But both the guards and the middle-aged man knew very well that the other party had died at this critical juncture, and in such an unexplainable way that no one could say for sure. It was hard to say that there wasn't the shadow of a certain nine-tailed white fox behind this, after all, this wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

"Of course they dare not move, because the Third Army is currently in a standoff with the Second Army of the Reunification Movement. If things change at this critical juncture, then those nobles will have no choice but to take action, but they are unwilling to let their soldiers die."

The middle-aged man slowly stood up, but his appearance gradually changed. His hair and beard turned white, his back was not straight, and his face was kind, like a kind and benevolent old man.

"But now, it's time to see our Emperor. Alas... this new emperor is capable, but Ursus is terminally ill."

Saint Fool, an old man even older than Ursus, has witnessed the fall of another empire. Ursus could have seized the opportunity, but she failed to grasp the glimmer of hope given to her by the Doctor. She lost the gamble, and Saint Fool could only abide by the agreement. Besides, Mei Xue had already decided the fate of this land, no, it should be said, the fate of Terra.

A kind and gentle old man walked slowly ahead, while behind him stood the most fearsome blades of Ursus. Nearly forty guards were divided into two teams, their grim expressions forming a stark contrast to the holy fool in front.

Their target was the Ursus Palace in Saint-Germain.

Tonight, the vanguard of the Second Army of the Reunion Movement, led by Snitz Nearl, clashed with the Third Army. At the same time, the main force led by Patriot split the battlefield in two directions, while the reserve army led by Hrag took the opportunity to launch a long-range raid and destroy the enemy's supply depot.

Tonight, someone is destined to be affected.

Chapter 79 Why Did His Majesty Rebel?

The snow, so pristine white in the south, was now biting cold. The gloomy sky opened its dark maw, menacingly as if it wanted to devour everything in the world.

In this far north, even the lightest snowflakes have become a terrifying force capable of taking lives.

But with a "ding-a-ling," the crisp sound of the bell echoed across the snowfield, even drowning out the howling, fierce wind. The sound wasn't loud, but it reached every corner.

Then came a splash of red. Strangely, even though it was already late at night, the snowfield was not shrouded in darkness. Instead, it resembled a moonlit night. No one could explain where the light came from, which made the red splash particularly striking.

"Hmm~ Plum blossoms and snowflakes are falling~ I'm piling up snowmen high~"

Her slender yet alluring feet sank into the thick snow, leaving a deep crater. Mei Xue's feet were red from the cold; her shoes and stockings had long been forgotten. She had simply found it amusing to play like this and decided to do it anyway.

The feeling of going from being a high-ranking master of destiny to an ordinary person is not pleasant, especially in this kind of environment. Mei Xue felt that every cell in her body was resisting her and trying to escape. The tearing sensation made her sing off-key. Compared to this, even slow slicing was relatively humane.

It's better now, though, because it's so cold that it's numbingly cold, and Mei Xue can barely hold onto the red umbrella in her hand, so the pain is naturally less.

"Snowman and I are running in the snow... Hmm?"

Someone blocked the wind, and Mei Xue looked up at the tall guards in front of her, dressed in strange equipment and wearing breathing masks. A cute smile appeared on the little fox's face.

"No need, I can walk by myself."

"Hiss... Huff... Your body..."

The guard could tell that Mei Xue was not in good condition. In the past, this level of wind and snow would never have made her like this. Moreover, he could clearly feel that Mei Xue was becoming disconnected from the world.

"Don't worry, we won't be leaving this world anytime soon."

Mei Xue continued walking forward, and the guards parted into two lines to make way for him, giving him a solemn salute. Regardless of what the bet between the other party and Sheng Yu was, his act of entering the snowfield alone was worthy of the guards' respect. These older guards knew what he was going to do.

That splash of red was so striking against the sky and earth. As Mei Xue walked, she suddenly understood why there was such visibility in the snowfield where the night sky was covered by dark clouds. It was because the snowflakes themselves emitted a faint light, which was not strong, but because they were connected, it looked like moonlight was falling.

Or to put it bluntly, this is not snow at all, but some kind of method left behind by his sister Su Xue'er, using her own power to condense this kind of snow, which will fall on the entire land of Terra one day in the future.

And this, this far northern land, is one of the last places Su Xue'er visited.

However, Mei Xue came here today not for this. He walked deeper into the area, stepping over countless corpses buried under the ice and snow. Most of them were Ursus warriors or Sami priests, and even older ones were from the Eagle Empire. More than a thousand years have passed, and the remains of those ancient warriors are still frozen under this land. They have paid too high a price to keep these twisted monsters away from humans.

And what about Mei Xue? He had always been an observer, everything was predetermined, and fate never favored anyone.

Otherwise, if he wanted to, he wouldn't have had to worry about so much when he was at the Eight-Tails stage, and could have simply swept away the will behind the starry sky, allowing the lost civilization to have better room for development.

"We've arrived..."

At the far north lay a deep darkness, and something seemed to be stirring within the earth beneath their feet. Mei Xue's tail swayed gently; his presence was now far too obvious to be noticed.

The ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled, and giant hands covered in eyes emerged from the snow. Monsters appeared in the darkness, but Mei Xue's attention was focused on something else.

For example, he's thinking right now, do these eyes blink? Doesn't it hurt when they came out of the ground after being buried there?

As for danger? How could it be? Even if he only has one tail left, these guys can't threaten him.

"destiny."

As the ancient words escaped Mei Xue's lips, a star shone brightly in the real starry sky, obscured by dark clouds and a false canopy. A string of numbers appeared in Mei Xue's mind: 10961223

The little fox seemed to realize something, and with a smile, he twirled the red umbrella in his hand. Whether it was the raging wind and snow or the terrifying monsters rushing towards him, everything froze at that moment.

Was it because Mei Xue stopped time and space? No, it was simply because he stood at the node called "moment" where time was infinitely subdivided. Time and space were no longer continuous, and the world line was severed. He reached out and gently grasped the severed end of the world line, and then used his own power to weave it.

Looking back and forward, the past, present, and future are all within sight. Tracing back to before the first budding civilization in this universe, we see the last life in this world annihilated in a catastrophe of collapse. Of course, we also see a certain scoundrel doctor.

"I see, Doctor... I never imagined we've known each other for so long."

The moment his wish came true, Mei Xue suddenly understood everything. He had thought that the Doctor had known him since the time of the Eight-Tailed Fox, but he didn't expect it to be even longer. The little fox's smile carried a hint of helplessness.

It seems that forgetting everything is indeed not a good thing.

"I see."

With a sigh, Mei Xue's body transformed into countless silver specks of light and vanished into the air. The hideous monsters with grotesque appearances also disappeared into the wind, as if they had never existed.

That night, however, a star that no one could see shone exceptionally bright.

——————————————————————————————————————

Cecilia didn't sleep well, perhaps because Mei Xue wasn't by her side, but she always slept soundly next to her mother.

I had a nightmare tonight. I dreamt that I was walking alone in a vast expanse of snow, unable to speak or make a sound. I just felt uncomfortable and cold, but I didn't even know where I was.

"Um...Brother Meixue...Mom..."

Listening to her daughter's sleep-talking in her arms, Felia gently stroked her head, letting Cecilia rest against her chest to sleep more peacefully.

Perhaps feeling the familiar embrace and warmth of her mother, Cecilia calmed down a little. However, Felia felt that her daughter was already unable to contain her restless heart even before she had grown up. In the nightmare she had just had, eight out of ten times she was calling Mei Xue's name, and only the rest were her mother's names. Occasionally, her mother would mention her father.

It seems that even if she didn't want to, her precious daughter had already been firmly trapped by Mei Xue without her even realizing it. No, maybe it was Cecilia who had trapped Mei Xue.

After all, everyone could see how much the little fox doted on Cecilia, to the point that even Talulah would get jealous, because sometimes she wouldn't be allowed to go to bed if she upset the little fox.

"Ah!"

Talulah, who was cleaning up the battlefield, couldn't help but sneeze. After nearly four hours of fierce fighting, the Ursus Third Army, like the Eighth Army before it, was defeated. After all, this battle came too suddenly.

The death of Grand Prince Baikal could not have been without its ups and downs. His estate was quickly divided up, as he was, after all, one of the core members of the Ursus radicals. This incident caused turmoil within the radicals. The conservatives and the new nobles were naturally happy to see the radicals' strength weakened, so they did not offer any assistance to the Third Army.

Meanwhile, the radicals, preoccupied with dividing up Grand Duke Baikal's spoils, neglected the situation of the Third Army. Within four hours, the Third Army's rear supply lines were cut off. With the training of Patriots and Hrag, the Reunion Movement's combat strength was by no means weak, and the gap in equipment had long been closed, even being somewhat more advanced than the Ursus army.

This is mainly because Mei Xue comes back every now and then to bring them some good things, such as the latest products developed in Colombia.

"It feels like Mei Xue always comes back to visit her parents' home, bringing a huge amount of stuff that fills the warehouse."

These were the Kingslayer's exact words, and then she was stared at intently by Talulah, Alina, Frostnova, and even Mudrock and Arturo for a long time. Their resentful and dissatisfied gazes made her break out in a cold sweat for a long time.

While the description is indeed vivid, it's inaccurate. What does "returning to one's maternal home" mean? A maternal home is where the little fox is to be married off! Mei Xue's maternal home is in the Great Yan region! This is clearly her husband's home, so the little fox will be coming here in the future!

Wait, isn't Mei Xue a boy?

"We really owe a lot to those allies this time, Talulah. Where did you find them?"

The Kingslayer frowned in confusion. She had thought Alina was invincible, but she hadn't expected that someone was even more valiant than her. Those little girls, who were no more than 1.4 meters tall, were really ruthless. They charged faster than Snitz at the start of the battle and crashed directly into the Third Army's formation, fighting with a completely reckless style.

Thanks to them for breaking up the elite units like the heavily armored sorcerers and veteran vanguards of the Third Army, the Reunion Movement suffered so few losses this time. In fact, those girls are still chasing the enemy.

"They were basically all kept by Mei Xue... like servants or something."

Talulah thought for a moment but decided not to say "Mei Xue's aquatic products" aloud, as that would be too out of place. Tonight's victory was worth celebrating, but what was unexpected was that the Third Army's combat effectiveness was worse than expected, perhaps due to insufficient supplies and the sudden attack.

The Sirens certainly deserve credit as well. They dealt with the Third Army's scouts and heavy weapons in the shortest possible time. With only ten people, Talulah had no doubt that they really had the strength to wipe out the entire Third Army. The Sirens, like Mei Xue, were a level of dimensional reduction attack against any species in this world.

Having abandoned the path of evolution and reproduction of the Sea Siren to completely overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers, the Sirens are all top-tier combat units. If they can't beat Su Xue'er, they can't beat Ursus either.

Moreover, Talulah and the Reunion Movement are both very important to Mei Xue. Helping them would at least earn her some praise from the little fox, if not a reward, like a kiss.

With this in mind, the girls chased after the Third Army for quite a distance.
