Talulah, I'm still a child.
Page 439
Because she always wore only a short-sleeved shirt underneath, Mei Xue could clearly feel that her chest was wet. Talulah's sobs were very soft, almost inaudible. This was probably the first time Mei Xue had ever seen her cry, and it was nothing like the childish tantrums she had shown before.
Is it because of too much pressure? Is it because of happiness or sadness?
Mei Xue couldn't figure out Talulah's thoughts for a moment. He just held the person he loved most, gently patted her back, and hummed a lullaby.
"Sunshine and rain make wildflowers bloom in the wilderness, spring breeze and love make new buds sprout on the branches, and time flows quietly by."
"I saw the moon's bright light, and I saw the shooting star rushing by. I asked it..."
"Shooting star, oh shooting star, where are you going?"
"Go to the end of destiny, the place where wishes come true, and see what happiness looks like~"
The song was one she had never heard before, and the language was completely unfamiliar, but Talulah had a strange feeling. It wasn't just a sense of tranquility; her thoughts seemed to sink into a warm spring, a kind of spiritual sublimation.
This folk song is etched in Mei Xue's memory; it's a tune passed down from her mother, and the language is naturally older than any of the Terra languages.
"...I'm sorry, as an older sister, I really shouldn't let my younger brother see me in such an embarrassing state."
Talulah wiped away her tears, feeling rather embarrassed. Meixue wagged her tail and pecked her lips.
"It's okay, well, after all, I'm not just my sister's brother."
"That's true..."
Upon closer reflection, Talulah realized that Mei Xue was still her husband, and it wasn't shameful to cry in front of her lover. Talulah leaned against Mei Xue, a rare occurrence for her, as Mei Xue's embrace was the only paradise she could find.
"Are you under a lot of pressure?"
"Yes, it's very big... I miss you the most, but as the leader of the Reunion Movement, I can't put my personal interests first, otherwise I would be letting everyone down."
In this position, every decision requires careful consideration, and every day involves a great deal of thought. Talulah is also a hands-on person, so over time, the pressure accumulated. And to make matters worse, she became pregnant at this time, which made her feel even busier.
That's probably why she cried in Mei Xue's arms. As a leader, as a mother, and as a lover, she wasn't as strong as outsiders imagined; she was just trying to keep herself from collapsing.
"I know, it's tough on you, but it's okay... It'll be over soon."
Now, Mei Xue has started to coax Talulah, gently patting her head, showing an unexpectedly maternal side. Talulah isn't the type to be coy; she always cheers up quickly when she's with the little fox. She gently tugs at Mei Xue's hair and scratches her head in confusion.
"Meixue, you just said that our child will definitely be a girl... A daughter is fine, but she will show different characteristics from you. Won't that mean her personality will be terrible?"
"No, that won't happen. The characteristics will only be physical. For example, my sister and I's children will look a lot like you, not like me who is a Wolper. Their personalities won't be affected."
Having dispelled Talulah's concerns, the little fox continued to cover her with his tail. However, to be honest, he was also quite bewildered. Although he had raised quite a few people in his long life, the most typical being the three sisters who were still living off Rhodes Island, this was the first time he had actually had his own child, or rather, an avatar or something? Well, it's easier to understand if we just call it a child.
"In fact, I think this child will be very cute in the future, just like her older sister."
“I think it’s better to be like you. Hmm… how about you take care of the children in the future? I feel like I’m not good at being a mother.”
"OK."
Mei Xue nodded, having no objection. In fact, considering Talulah's rather carefree personality, he was indeed a little worried about leaving the child with Talulah.
"But sister, I just spoke with Lilia, and she said you need to rest and recover properly right now. Hmm... how about we go on a trip to Victoria together?"
"But this way..."
"Don't worry about this place, Ursus is already in chaos."
Talulah was momentarily stunned by Mei Xue's smile, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Just recently, Emperor Fyodor of Ursus was taken hostage, and the Fourth and Fifth Armies were also tied down. Now the Third and Eighth Armies have been defeated by us, and the Sixth Army has long been annihilated. Apart from the private armies of the Ursus nobles, Ursus can no longer pose much of a threat."
Just as Talulah was wondering, Frostnova generously pushed open the door and walked in, her expression complicated, unable to believe that such a thing could happen.
"Holded hostage?"
Talulah glanced at Meixue instinctively, but the little fox shook her head decisively.
“This wasn’t our plan, Doctor. That guy acted on his own. He probably realized it too. Plans can’t keep up with changes. Time is running out. We can’t give the Reunion Movement a few more years to take it slow.”
Saint Fool, people would be very surprised if they knew his identity. Who would have thought that the founding emperor of the Eagle Empire would choose to destroy the dynasty he built twice? The first time, he destroyed the Eagle Empire as Igor of Ursus, becoming "The Eagle with Broken Wings" and "Father of Ursus". Now, another thousand years have passed, and he is going to destroy the dynasty he built with his own hands again.
"The First and Second Army Groups are responsible for the border defense in the far north, and the Seventh Army Group has already secretly defected to us. Mei Xue... you're really something."
Rather than being powerful, it's more like terrifying. If it weren't for the various contingency plans laid by Little Fox and the Doctor in their early years, the Reunion Movement could not have developed so rapidly. This force propelled the Reunion Movement forward, and also contributed to the destruction of Ursus. It's rather dramatic that the Emperor of Ursus became a hostage so easily.
"This is also thanks to everyone."
"I knew you'd say that. I heard what you just said, and it's the same as what Mei Xue said. Talulah, you really aren't fit to continue working right now. Take a good vacation. That's the unanimous result of the management meeting just now. Sigh... the old man even fainted."
The old man Frostnova was referring to was, of course, Patriot. Although the old man disliked Talulah, Frostnova, and Alina, he doted on Maysnow in a way that was more like that of a grandchild.
So when he heard that he might actually have a granddaughter, he couldn't withstand the huge mental shock and hasn't woken up yet.
"Oh right, Rhodes Island doesn't know about this yet. I need to inform them and ask Kal'tsit if there are any precautions."
This was the first time such a big event had happened to Mei Xue. The little fox was in a bit of a hurry when she arrived, so she didn't inform anyone else. However, because of Froststar's previous actions, the news spread throughout the Siren Network.
Meanwhile, in Lateran, the second half of the meeting was still in progress. This time, the representatives from Mackey and Rembitox were unusually quiet. They finally realized that their status here was not much higher than that of the empty chairs over there. This meeting was not about uniting the countries, because the performance of these representatives had already proven that these participating countries had been in contact for a long time, and that there was a hand pushing everything behind the scenes.
"Given the current situation in Terra, the first thing to address is the instability in various regions, such as the current war in Ursus, the chaotic and complex situation in Victoria, and the tripartite division of Bolivar, etc."
On this point, no one questioned it. Now is a critical moment. If they are still busy with internal strife, then there is no hope. Ursus is easy to deal with. It has been basically crushed. Its destruction was destined from the very first mistake.
Bolivar's situation isn't difficult to handle either. The key issue is how to deal with Victoria's situation. This involves not only Victoria itself but also the Sarkaz's history and the grudges between them and this land. It's not something that can be easily explained. Although none of the people present were involved, the war against Kazdel back then is an indelible fact.
"The Sarkaz situation is unexpectedly difficult to handle..."
Holhaia tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, feeling helpless. The Sarkaz bloodline carried memories and emotions from the past. This was originally a means to ensure the continuation of civilization, but she didn't want them to be permanently bound by hatred.
So many years of resentment, the Sarkaz have suffered from prejudice and discrimination, and this is not something that can be resolved in a few years or a decade. This is indeed something that can only be handled by Mei Xue. I just don't know what the little fox plans to do.
"Moreover, compared to those, the issues of the moon and Oripathy need to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the impact of natural disasters on Terra will be too great."
Amaya is somewhat helpless about this, but taking back the moon shouldn't be too difficult. With Sirens having such exceptional combat power, they can't beat Su Xueer, but they can at least beat someone else.
Just as Amaya was thinking this, a message from the Siren mental network made her suddenly freeze, and then she slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"What?! Talulah is pregnant?!"
After these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence, and then all the representatives who knew about the relationship between Talulah and Mei Xue were dumbfounded.
"ha!???"
This isn't just stealing a base and running away; this is an interstellar journey!
Chapter 91 Madam, what you're doing is very dangerous.
For the people of Rhodes Island, days without playing with Mei Xue are dull and boring, the world without petting the little fox is tedious and pale, and they feel that there is no meaning to living if they can't see the little fox.
"Ugh... so boring, so incredibly boring."
Enjoying the breeze on the deck, Warfarin felt that life had lost its color. She swayed gently and then took a deep breath in resignation.
"Mei Xue! Help!"
Okay, no response. The little fox isn't all-hearing; it can't detect movements from that far away without consciously sensing them. Warfarin will have to stay on the bridge a little longer.
After spending a long time on Rhodes Island, you get used to this kind of scenery. Occasionally, someone will be hung on the bridge. The most common ones are Doctor and Warfarin, because they always manage to do something crazy. Especially Doctor, when she loses her rationality, her thought process is very different from that of ordinary people. At least, ordinary people would not think of throwing ice cream into a hot pot.
However, since Miss Doctor is always very busy, being hung up like this has become her favorite time to slack off, since Mei Xue isn't around either, so there's no way to play stress-relieving games. But Kal'tsit won't let her be hung up for too long; she'll be dragged back to work after half an hour at most.
"Dr. Warfarin is so energetic! By the way, are all Blood Demons as eccentric as her and Kroos?"
Sipping her juice through a straw, Exusiai looked around with some curiosity. She had never had any prejudice against Warfarin or the Sarkaz group as a whole. Everyone on Rhodes Island was a colleague, and they might even form an alliance and fight together in Mei Xue's bedroom in the future.
"No, I feel that people like them would be oddballs anywhere, and it probably has nothing to do with race."
Texas remained as aloof as ever. Although it was a good thing that Lappland hadn't bothered her during this time, without Mei Xue, she inexplicably didn't want to stay on Rhodes Island anymore. Indeed, if the Doctor was the brain of Rhodes Island, then Mei Xue was the heart.
"But speaking of which, I really didn't expect... Mei Xue has become so powerful now. She used to be so small and cute that people couldn't be wary of her at all."
"Ah."
Soft, cute, and obedient, Texas wagged her tail faster as she recalled Mei Xue from that time.
Of course, this is not to say that Mei Xue is bad now, but how should I put it... it feels like Mei Xue has grown up and is not so easy to fool anymore.
Moreover, Texas could vaguely sense that the little fox had something on her mind, but she didn't dare to ask what it was. Texas felt that Mei Xue wasn't laughing as freely and easily as before, and she had to think of a way to make the little fox go back to how she used to be.
“Victoria, it’s quite chaotic over there. It’s not easy to get there. If we run into the Sarkaz, it will be very difficult. Mei Xue actually took Cecilia to such a far place. He’s spoiling his sister who has no blood relation with him too much.”
"After all, he has always been treated like a child. It's rare for him to find someone he can truly take care of. It's not surprising that he acted that way. Rather, it's more accurate to say that Mei Xue will definitely become an excellent father in the future."
As they were talking, Remian, Mostima, and Fiameta also came over. Since they were about to head to Victoria, Rhodes Island was going to carry out a personnel transfer, which would only begin when they officially entered Victoria. Right now, they were actually quite free.
"If we're talking about personality, it's alright, but as for appearance... haha."
Mostima couldn't help but laugh just thinking about that situation. Mei Xue was indeed a very good person in terms of personality, patient and meticulous. However, it was hard to say what would happen when the child grew up. Without authority, it would be bad if the child went through adolescence.
"So, you're all basically his people now. With so many of you... isn't it a problem to allocate your time like this?"
As the only person present who hadn't had that kind of relationship with Mei Xue, Fiameta had always only regarded the little fox as a good friend. At least in terms of movies and desserts, she and Mei Xue had a lot in common.
"It's hard to say about other people, but I'm not worried about this at all."
Mostima tapped her staff, her smile carrying a deeper meaning. Sometimes she could be willful, stretching a half-hour with Mei Xue into three hours, which naturally made her more adept than most people.
"And there's no rush. Everyone can live a long time now. Being too anxious will only make life less colorful later on."
After a series of examinations by the medical department, everyone now fully understands the benefits of fox spirits. The girls who already had feelings for the little fox are gradually becoming more and more unable to suppress their feelings. Fortunately, Mei Xue is not here right now.
"By the way, Night Watchman, would you like to join us? I've seen you and Mei Xue eating cake and watching movies together several times, and you're laughing happily."
"Go away, we're just friends, don't look at me like that."
Fiameta glared at Mostima with annoyance. She and Mei Xue had indeed spent time alone together several times, but those were just ordinary conversations, nothing happened at all. It was just patting the fox's tail, that's all. Yes, that's how it is!
"Sister Fia is blushing... But I'm really curious, does Liboli lay eggs?"
"You little brat, Remuel, how dare you joke with me!"
Fiamet, both embarrassed and blushing, reached out and pinched Exusiai's cheeks, but it wasn't worth getting angry over such a joke.
"It's so nice to have this kind of daily life... Hmm, if we're talking about who among us is the best mother, it's definitely Remian."
"Indeed, she has a good personality and is gentle; she would be a good mother."
Having just lost face with Exusiai, and now hearing Mostima making fun of Remium, Fiameta naturally wants to use her to regain her dignity.
"Me? I'd like to too, but I always choose the fertile period, and the first time I even lasted for several hours, but there's never been any sign of pregnancy. It's really disappointing."
Seeing Remy's regretful expression on her face, the four of them, including Exusiai and Texas, were speechless. So this was your plan from the very beginning? What a terrifying woman.
"But compared to me, Xiao Le needs to worry more. If your child has the same personality as you in the future, or even surpasses you, that would be terrible."
