Talulah, I'm still a child.

Chapter 96 I've come to pick her up

Deeppool is known to many as the organization of the Tara people, but few know that it is also the surname of Rafishini and Abrahana. As her sister's stand-in, Rafishini is required to attend the banquet tonight in order to win over the nobles of Little Hill County.

However, Lavshini herself really disliked such occasions. The fawning smiles of these people and their scheming for personal gain made her feel very uncomfortable.

“You don’t need to do it yourself. Ahmoni will handle everything. He’s perfect for this kind of situation.”

The Orator, one of Deeppool's six top executives, is skilled at using his rhetoric to incite people. He has instigated many riots and even a war. Lavshini dislikes him. There are also "Accountant," "Prisoner," "Arsonist," "Poison Scholar," and "Bandit." These are all people Deeppool indiscriminately recruited during its development. Although they are very capable, none of them are good people.

In fact, if it weren't for Abrahina's influence, let alone Raphsini, the Duke of Wellington's captain of the guard would probably have hanged and beheaded these guys long ago.

Even so, these guys still respected her because of her status as Draco and Abrahina's younger sister, and for the sake of her sister's career, Raphsini couldn't say anything.

Little did she know that these eloquent individuals would never submit to anyone; they merely wanted to use Deeppool's power to cause trouble. The two Draks fully realized Raphsini's potential value; her identity alone was enough for them to build their own faction.

Tonight's dinner party was mostly attended by opportunists; there weren't many people with real influence. In the past, Ahmoni would have been somewhat displeased, but now…

"Big sister, could I have a juice?"

Mei Xue, with an obedient expression, held up an empty cup, her tail swaying gently behind her, and her pointed, fluffy fox ears twitching adorably. Watching him pretend not to recognize her, Ahmoni suddenly felt a mischievous urge to play with her.

"Of course, you're such a cute little kid. Come here and let your big sister give you a kiss."

Ahmoni gently put her arm around Mei Xue's waist, poured him a glass of juice, and then took the opportunity to hug the little fox in her arms. Just like she remembered, Mei Xue was very light. Ahmoni wondered if his tail was made entirely of fur.

"Miss Ahmoni, is this child the son of some nobleman?"

The nobles of Xiaoqiu County were completely unfamiliar with Mei Xue. However, many young ladies and women from noble families found the soft and cute Mei Xue very endearing. But with such a striking appearance as the little fox, it was impossible for them not to have seen it before, if it were the child of a local noble or another famous noble family.

“Mr. Orn, please watch your words. This man’s identity is far beyond what anyone could imagine.”

"Could it be that leader's..."

No one knows what these guys were thinking. They instantly showed an "I understand" expression. The noble ladies, who were good at making up stories, must have been thinking all sorts of weird things. They looked at Mei Xue with pity and had to give up the idea of ​​finding the little fox's family to propose marriage.

(These guys, could they be mistaking Mei Xue for Raphsini's... you know?)

Ahmoni vaguely guessed what they were thinking, and even her usually carefree smile couldn't hold back anymore. These nobles really knew how to have fun.

"Don't tickle me..."

Reaching out, she gently slapped away Ahmoni's other restless hand that was resting on her waist. Mei Xue sipped her juice, looking obedient and adorable, which melted the hearts of several noble ladies. Ahmoni couldn't help but recall that this girl had also been noticed by the Elector's youngest daughter at a banquet, thus entering Letania's high society and even meeting the Twin Queens directly.

Although it was the doctor's idea, Mei Xue seemed to be enjoying it. The little fox treated the plan like a game. Oh well, the doctor probably just fooled her.

Actually, the little fox hadn't planned to come here, but since he'd already been to Ursus, he figured it wouldn't hurt to come and see him tonight. However, he said he would hold a small grudge against Ahmoni for treating him like a child.

"It's not the first time. I've touched other places before. Or is it that it's not okay now, but we can try somewhere else?"

"Stop messing around, do you believe I'll regain my presence?"

The little fox puffed up his cheeks, somewhat displeased. The reason the nobles hadn't noticed the commotion was because he had deliberately downplayed his and Ahmoni's presence. Otherwise, if so many people saw him being mocked, he would have been too embarrassed to even pull out a Destroyer Mushroom and blow the place up.

"Okay, I'll continue later. Did you come tonight because you were worried about me?"

"Yes, something's going to happen tonight. That annoying old man is going to bring his troops and cause trouble later."

The bagpipes and horns were there too, but they didn't spot Mei Xue. According to Mei Xue's senses, Colonel Hamilton of the Little Hills garrison was already preparing to take this opportunity to wipe everyone out and then use the opportunity to cleanse the people in the city. Even though she knew that this guy was being instigated, the little fox was still very unhappy.

"If you don't like him, then leave him to me. He's not worth letting his mood affect you."

Anyway, Deeppool won't allow Hamilton to exist after conquering this city. That guy has already caused dissatisfaction among the local civilians. Perfect, we can use his death to win over the hearts of the people... Oh no, how can I think about such things while holding Mei Xue? This won't do.

When you hold Mei Xue in your arms, you should try your best to think if there is anything in the world that is more adorable or more beautiful than him. If there is, then give that thing to him. If you can't think of anything, then you are the happiest person holding the little fox.

These are the Doctor's original words. On that night when she was taken in, Ahmoni watched her gently coax Mei Xue to sleep, and the tenderness in her eyes was indescribable.

"How many people would die tonight if I weren't here?"

“...Three thousand people, that’s the most conservative estimate.”

Ahmoni could not deceive Mei Xue in this regard. There was bound to be a battle between the garrison of Deeppool and Little Hill County, and she also had to secretly eliminate those who disobeyed. Abrahana's strategy had always been like this: to try to win over all available forces.

"Then come with me after tonight."

"……it is good."

Everything is no longer needed. Intelligence work and Deeppool are no longer able to stop Mei Xue's progress. Ahmoni's original purpose was to coordinate and prevent Deeppool from escalating the war in Victoria too quickly, while also providing assistance to Rhodes Island's forces. Now that at least three Grand Dukes have begun preparations for war, her work no longer needs to continue.

"Phew, that feels so good. I don't have to be a triple agent anymore. I was always worried about my life. It's a pity that Mandela, that silly cat, is really dead."

Ahmoni felt a mixture of resentment and disappointment towards Mandela. She was a pitiful and pathetic fool cat whose experiences shaped her distorted values, making her sympathetic yet also seeming to justify her death.

“Mandela is still alive, and I’m taking care of her now.”

"That makes me a little jealous."

"Jealous girls are not pretty, that's what the professor said."

"My beloved master has also learned to say sweet words, which is a bit of a pity..."

No one else could hear their conversation, and no longer caring how the banquet would proceed, Ahmoni casually took a cake and placed it in Mei Xue's hand, without glancing back.

However, the departure of the two caught the attention of Lavshine and the Orator. They were keeping a close eye on the movements inside and, with their attention highly focused, they noticed the two who had made their presence less noticeable. The Orator walked over with some displeasure.

"Ahmoni, what do you mean by this?"

"Ah, eloquent speaker, remember to tell him when you get back... never mind, you can't go back."

Looking at the little fox in her arms, Ahmoni keenly sensed his dissatisfaction. Mei Xue had an instinctive intuition when it came to people, and those who could make him feel disgusted were generally not good people. Now that he had regained his nine tails, the little fox naturally understood why.

He saw many timelines, he saw the brilliance of Outcast after he loaded six etching bullets, that's the kind of guy he was... but the one standing here now is Mei Xue.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I quit. Just think of it as me taking maternity leave early and then being fired by Abrahana."

Ahmoni answered casually, carrying Mei Xue as she continued walking forward. The orator wanted to say something, but when he reached out, he found that his hand seemed to pass through a projection and he could not touch Ahmoni's hair. This strange situation made the orator pause in surprise.

"Wait a minute, Ahmoni, where are you going?"

Ignoring the orator, Lavshini asked a question, only glancing at her with a hint of helplessness.

"As you can see, I have defected from Deeppool starting tonight. Please tell Abrahana that it doesn't matter to me if she tells the Victorian Army about my double agent status, because I am actually a triple agent."

"So you... are actually Mei Xue's person?"

"Yes, when I learned that Deep Pool's assassination target was Mei Xue, I hoped to use this opportunity to let you leave Deep Pool and follow Mei Xue. It would be a good path. You are a good person, Raphsini. People like you should not die."

Ahmoni gently put the little fox down. Mei Xue had met Lafshini before, and he knew she was a good person. Normally, he would be happy to have a good conversation with her, but now it was better to skip it.

"Sister Raphsini, see you in the new world."

Leaving behind these words, the lovely Mei Xue led Ahmoni away. Besides picking Ahmoni up, he also came today to slightly manipulate Deeppool's fate. Lafshini and Deeppool are deeply connected, making her the best candidate to intervene.

"A new world...what does that mean?"

Lavshini scratched her head in confusion, but she needed to report Ahmoni's situation to her sister immediately. The Orator, who was surprised by her own strange behavior, finally came to her senses.

"Lady Raphsini, I..."

"Let's go back first."

As if she hadn't heard the orator's voice, Lavshini chose to leave on her own. The orator finally realized something: Lavshini hadn't ignored him; rather, she simply couldn't hear or see him, or perhaps... she had forgotten her subordinate existence.

Is this a good idea?

Ahmoni, being a member of Mei Xue's household, naturally knew what had happened to the Orator.

Did Laphishini forget him? Of course not. It's just that in Terra's destiny, the Orator was completely removed. His personal fate and the fate of everyone and everything in this world became parallel lines, no longer intersecting or interfering with each other.

When his destiny comes to an end, he will die just like his counterparts in other worlds, tomorrow.

Mei Xue rarely does this, and Ahmoni knows he doesn't like it either, but he's really unhappy. The more he sees, the more annoyed he becomes. The orator has clearly crossed the little fox's line.

"There's nothing good or bad about it, I'm just very unhappy... Ahmoni, do you think I did something wrong?"

"Who can distinguish right from wrong in the arrangements of fate?"

Ahmoni gently stroked Mei Xue's head, then walked forward with him. Hamilton's garrison should be here soon, and they needed to do something.

However, when the two walked out onto the street, they realized something was wrong. There were many weapons and equipment scattered on the street, but the garrison of Little Hill County was nowhere to be seen. Judging from the traces, it seemed to be a rout, but the weapons did not show any signs of having been used in a short period of time.

"Let's go, do you need to pack your luggage?"

"...No need, they're all useless anyway."

Mei Xue seemed to know something, so Ahmoni didn't ask any further questions. It was something she couldn't understand. As for the clothes and identification documents left inside the deep pool, they weren't important anymore.

Following Mei Xue's side, Victoria was too small to serve as a stage for her Ahmoni.

"Are we heading to Londinium next?"

"Well, there's one more thing to do before that."

Mei Xue nodded and led Ahmoni by the hand to the door of Qin Liu's house. But when he pushed the door open, what Ahmoni saw during the day was not the living room behind the door, but a cozy little house with a fireplace burning.

An elderly blonde woman was sitting in a recliner, knitting something like a scarf or sweater. She quickly realized that there were two new visitors in the room.

"Please come in."

The firelight from the fireplace illuminated the entire room as Mei Xue and Ahmoni entered, the little fox's tail swaying gently.

"I've come to pick her up."

Chapter 97 The Sirens' Advanced Technology

(The extra chapter about Qinliu has been posted in the full subscription group)

"Is that so... It seems they can't hold back any longer either."

After placing the intelligence on the table, the Grand Tutor picked up his tea and took a sip. The current stance of the Great Yan must be neutral. The first rule of the Terra United Conference is not to interfere in conflicts between non-member states. The matter of Victoria depends on Mei Xue's attitude.

However, with the signing of the contract yesterday, all countries have begun to take action. As many people guessed, Colombia, Iberia and Da Yan had already secretly joined forces, and the meeting today is just bringing this fact into the open.

So long before the conference began, when that secret letter was sent to various countries, everyone had already agreed to take action after the second day of the conference. Now, the troops of Iberia and Colombia have gone to Bolívar to correct the mistakes they made in the past. Bolívar's current tripartite division of power is also due to their problems back then.

The Reunion Movement is the least of our concern. Having witnessed the strength of a hundred Sirens, the Grand Tutor can't imagine how Ursus could possibly resist them. What he's most concerned about right now is Mei Xue's attitude.

When the Doctor brought Mei Xue back, he had a private conversation with the Grand Tutor. According to the Doctor, the future of Terra largely depends on what the little fox thinks. Just as the Sirens had noticed, the relationship between Terra's Originium and Mei Xue is extremely close. So many things happened in that ancient era before the Great Yan appeared, or even before the previous civilization was destroyed.

Even those ancient behemoths probably never imagined that Mei Xue and Su Xue'er were never the same kind of beings, only similar in appearance.

I know Mei Xue better than anyone else in the world.
