Talulah, I'm still a child.

Chapter 104 The Jealous Little Angel Cecilia

"What did you say? Ursus is gone?"

Looking at the intelligence officer in front of her, Theresis keenly realized that something was wrong. Since the great anomaly that occurred at the beginning of this year, the entire Terra seemed to be being pushed along in a hurry. Originally, it was expected that they would not be able to fight against the Grand Dukes until next year at the latest, but now it seems that the situation is more complicated than she thought.

"Now no one can sit still."

Although the Blood Demon Lord was arrogant, he was not stupid. Everyone could see that the situation had become urgent. Although the various nobles had stationed troops on the outskirts, they had restrained each other and had not made any major moves. Everyone, including the Sarkaz, had been lying low, conserving their strength and secretly increasing their own trump cards.

"Leaving aside the rest, Wellington will take action."

“He has two Draks under his command, and he is also one of Victoria’s most prestigious veterans. He is very powerful, and this incident will motivate him to advance on us. My army is ready.”

Wellington's Iron Guard, Victoria's most powerful Iron Duke, who once defeated the Corsican Emperor in the Gallic Wars, will be the Sarkaz's most formidable enemy.

But the Sarkaz, forged in centuries of war, are second to none. The Blood Demons will stain the earth with the blood of their enemies, and the Carrion Eaters will feed on the deaths on the battlefield. The most warlike and skilled race, the Sarkaz seem to be about to face another turning point in their destiny.

Despite telling herself countless times, Therese would still occasionally envy the Great Yan, a nation that had been blessed by Mei Xue thousands of years ago. No matter how many twists and turns or storms the future might bring, and no matter how many times the dynasty rose and fell, it would surely reach a brighter future.

As for the Sarkaz, their homeland is gone, their people are displaced and suffer discrimination. They have been angry for too long, and now that anger is about to ignite, and they will ask this land why the Sarkaz cannot live!

"Should we inform Her Highness Theresa?"

With bandages still wrapped around his head, Manfred's injuries required rest. Mei Xue's tail strike was perfectly timed; it wouldn't kill him, nor would it seriously injure him, but it would still take considerable effort.

"No need, I'll talk to her about it later."

Therese put down the intelligence she was holding. Although Ursus's defeat was expected, no one expected it to be so quick. Moreover, in the end, besides the external pressure from the Reunion Movement, there were other reasons that brought Ursus down.

At least Theresis didn't believe that the mighty Ursus Empire Council could be so easily slaughtered, with three army groups defeated in just two hours. There must be another hand behind this... No, there can only be one hand, Mei Xue, it can only be him!

Almost all the major events happening on this land nowadays can be linked to this little fox. He is the master of destiny, and the turning points in history also represent major changes in fate. It is impossible for him to be unrelated to Mei Xue.

But why... why did this little fox allow all that to happen a few years ago, and why is it doing these things now? Does it want to throw this land into chaos?

Unable to fathom or understand, Therese suddenly realized that Mei Xue was probably also playing chess with someone. How many years had he spent planning and waiting, and was he now planning to reap the rewards all at once?

However, no matter what Therese thought, even Theresa couldn't figure out Mei Xue's thoughts, so it was even more impossible for him. However, Cecilia could sense that Mei Xue's brother wasn't in a good mood right now.

"It's just cloudy..."

Walking down the deserted street, Mei Xue flicked his tail, feeling rather uncomfortable. He hadn't brought Talulah with him this time because he was worried that she might get angry if she saw something on the street, which would be bad for her health. Although the city was relatively peaceful at the moment, the Sarkaz were not exactly kind to the residents.

"Don't you like it, brother?"

"Some things can get really annoying if you watch too much of them. It's okay if it's raining, but thunder and rain are the best time to sleep."

"Then we'll sleep together."

Taking a nap with Mei Xue is a very pleasant thing, and Cecilia likes it very much. Although many people don't realize it, Mei Xue is actually quite sleepy. When she was on Rhodes Island, she could find a corridor and lie down with her tail in her arms. It was the same when she was at Qinliu's house. Apart from cooking or chatting with everyone, she spent the rest of her time sleeping.

However, it's not easy to get a good night's sleep with the little fox. First, you can only choose to be away from the room during the day. If it's nighttime and you're in the dormitory, then you probably won't get any sleep. Second, you have to be able to find Mei Xue accurately in a corner of Rhodes Island and make sure you arrive early enough, otherwise the little fox's tail will be completely occupied.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"I'll take you to meet an old friend."

"My brother's girlfriend?"

"No, wait, who taught you to say that?"

Mei Xue's tail swayed in confusion. He didn't remember mentioning these things to the little angel, or rather, Mei Xue herself had never cared about them.

“It was Sister Ifrit who taught me.”

“...That Ifrit.”

The little fox's tail wagged rapidly in displeasure. It seemed he needed to reconsider his relationship with Ifrit, and not let the little angel be led astray.

"Um, she's not my girlfriend."

"Is that a lover?"

"Neither!"

Mei Xue's tail and fox ears were practically standing on end. The little angel quickly covered her mouth, then smiled and nodded to show that she understood. She was eight years old now, no longer the naive little girl who knew nothing.

"I definitely won't tell Sister Talulah, don't worry, brother."

"...Gurgle."

The little fox let out a wronged sound, and began to increasingly doubt whether he should tell his friends not to teach those strange things to the little angel when he got back. He felt that if things continued like this, his sister Cecilia would become the next Doctor. Oh no, no, that would be too terrible.

"Cecilia!"

Mei Xue suddenly stopped, put her hand on the little angel's shoulder, her expression was extremely serious, and she leaned closer.

"Wh...what's wrong, brother?"

The little angel was a little shy, especially at this distance. Mei Xue's beautiful eyes were like sapphires, and Cecilia felt a little breathless, even though her heart was beating very fast.

"Never become like the PhD!"

"Ah...yes, I'll listen to my brother."

Although she didn't know why Mei Xue said that, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. When Mei Xue took her hand again and started walking, she realized that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. This was the first time she had ever felt this way.

What's causing this feeling? I'll ask the older women later.

Thinking this, Cecilia's thoughts wandered completely, while the little fox continued to lead her forward, not noticing that Cecilia was daydreaming. The street was too deserted and lifeless, and Cecilia would probably feel bad if she kept paying attention to it.

After walking for a while, or perhaps only a few minutes, Cecilia came to her senses and found herself standing in front of the Duke of Cumberland's mansion. Several years had passed, and the mansion's gates seemed even older. Mei Xue, as if she were at home, pushed open the door and walked in with an air of nonchalance.

The garden in front of you is clearly under maintenance, but the Duke's mansion is still short-handed, as there are still many weeds growing in the garden, and there are far fewer people than before.

With a crisp "snap!" sound, Mei Xue and Cecilia looked towards the entrance of the Duke's mansion at the same time. Alde, who had short hair, looked at Mei Xue in surprise and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Long time no see, Allardy, you look fatter."

"..."

In an instant, the touching atmosphere of the long-awaited reunion was completely ruined by the little fox's words. Alde suddenly felt that her emotions were like talking to a fox, and she could only say that she was too naive.

"?"

The little angel looked at Mei Xue with some confusion. Just now, the little fox had said something about not becoming a doctor in the future, but now Cecilia felt that Mei Xue was more like a doctor, especially after that sentence just now.

"You rascal, after all these years, you have to make me unhappy?"

“But if I don’t say it like that, you’ll start crying, won’t you, Alde?”

Mei Xue's tail swayed gently, and only then did Alede notice the tears in the corners of her eyes. The pressure that had accumulated over the years had instantly dissipated after the reunion with her old friend, and her lonely and fearful heart had found a place to rest. She actually cried without even realizing it.

"You're ruining the mood."

"This is what the doctor taught me."

The little fox pushed the doctor forward without hesitation, and those words were indeed taught to him by the doctor, so it wasn't a false accusation.

"So that's how it is. The Sarkaz put on such a show yesterday for you."

"Stop talking, please stop talking."

Mentioning this matter inevitably reminded Mei Xue of the embarrassing past that Theresa had pointed out to him yesterday, and his face turned red again. Even if he now truly had the power to manipulate the stars at will, it didn't mean that his skin would become any thicker.

"You came here to retrieve that thing?"

"Yes, I need it."

The main purpose of coming to Lentinium this time is to completely complete myself. The anchor point placed with Alde is definitely going to be taken away. However, it can't just be for that. Reconnecting with the old friends is also very important to Mei Xue.

Alde was not a member of Mei Xue's family, so her lifespan was still limited. Four years was a short time for Mei Xue, but it was the result of countless days and nights of torment.

On one hand, she had to secretly protect and support Lontinim's self-rescue army; on the other hand, she had to face the pressure from Duke Kester; and at the same time, she had to deal with the Sarkaz. One wrong move and she would be destroyed like a vase falling from a great height. She was having a really tough time.

Of course, like Ahmoni, Meixue's arrival meant true liberation; Alder's mission was over, but hers had only just begun.

"Is she coming back?"

"Yes, and them too. I've already met Sister Vina. You'll definitely get along well."

"So, can I interpret this as fate giving Victoria a little bit of preferential treatment?"

Knowing a little about Mei Xue's identity, Aldey, relieved of all pressure, smiled from the bottom of her heart for the first time in a long time.

"How could that be? Fate doesn't favor anyone. Even the Great Yan Dynasty, they grasped the future they wanted with their own hands."

The one protecting the Great Yan is the Fox Spirit. What does that have to do with Mei Xue? The nine-tailed Mei Xue is completely incomparable to the six-tailed one. Mei Xue needs to be careful at all times to avoid disrupting the original destiny line, which would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the work later.

"So what's the story with this little girl?"

Alde looked at Cecilia. This little angel was adorable just by her looks, and judging from Mei Xue's expression, it wasn't hard to guess how much she doted on her.

“This is my sister, um, she’s different.”

Cecilia is special, on par with the Doctor, and Mei Xue would love to spoil her rotten.

"Alright, alright, I know. Come in. It just so happens that Clovisia is here today too. That child misses you so much; she's grown taller than you now."

"...Gulp! Don't mention height!"

Height is probably an obstacle that Mei Xue can never get around in her life. She has always comforted herself by saying that she is only a month old, but these past few days people have been bringing it up, which makes the little fox very depressed.

However, speaking of Clovisia, Mei Xue was indeed very curious about what the little girl she had only known for a week looked like now.

"Brother, who is Clovisia?"

"Hmm... she's my sister, I guess. She wasn't much taller than Cecilia back then."

Mei Xue considers anyone shorter than herself as her younger brother or sister, including Klossvia. She was quite surprised to see the little fox behind Klossvia at Alde's house, and then the little girl pestered her for a long time.

"Brother's sister..."

Cecilia spoke slowly, a sudden unease rising within her, as if her favorite cake was being offered to a stranger who also disliked her.

Mei Xue has many "sisters," a fact the little angel knows. At least Lily of the Valley and Amiya like to call Mei Xue "brother," and Rosemary even calls Mei Xue "dad" at times, though the little angel isn't quite sure when. In any case, Cecilia isn't jealous of these people.

Cecilia knew very well that no matter how many times Suzuran, Amiya, and the others called her "Brother Meixue," it wouldn't affect her status. But this girl named Klovishia made the little angel feel threatened even before they met, and even a little jealous.

If Rosemary were here, she would immediately recognize that Rosemary is just as jealous as she is.

Cecilia, remember this well: you must secure your place in Meixue's heart now, or you'll regret it later.

Her mother's teachings still echoed in her ears. The little angel clenched her fists silently. Yes, she had to protect her beloved Mei Xue brother! And keep out any outside sisters!
