Talulah, I'm still a child.

"This is for Sister Aneng."

As always, Cecilia handed over four small bags, which were mostly filled with pastries. Exusia's bag naturally included her favorite apple pie. Every time the Texas squad passed by, the little angel would give her a piece as a reward for Sky's help in promoting the cake shop.

Although Felia doesn't care much about the business, it's never a bad thing if business is good. Sora is a very popular newcomer on Siren Records. After she casually mentioned on a TV show that she liked going to Cecilia's cake shop, the little angel's business has continued to be booming to this day.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Cecilia. Is something good happening today?"

Although Cecilia is a hybrid of Sarkaz and Sarkaz, she has shown a Sarkaz side. Exusiai can sense her emotions to some extent, or perhaps it's because Cecilia's joy is expressed too obviously and too intensely.

"Yeah, I met a really... really cute older brother today!"

"Big brother?"

Exusiai was a little stunned, then reached out and pinched her face. It hurt a lot. After confirming that this was not a dream, she widened her eyes.

"My God! Could it be that our Lateran's Holy Flower, the little angel who connects two races, already has someone she loves at such a young age? Tsk tsk, I can already imagine how those old men will react."

As a mixed-race individual, Cecilia was special and thus received considerable attention from the Lateran authorities. However, being young and naive, she was quickly accepted as one of their own by the Lateran cavalry elders. Anyone who dared to make Cecilia shed a single tear in Lateran would be beaten up, except for the Pope. As for why they didn't beat up the Pope? Because they couldn't defeat him.

Moreover, the current Pope Ivan XI himself said that if anyone dares to displease Cecilia, he will let that guy know whether the rainstorm from Lateran's sky is hail or etching bullets.

"Hey Cecilia, tell me about him, what kind of person is he? I can teach you a few tricks."

"Xiao Le, don't lead Cecilia astray."

A gentle voice came from beside her ear, and Exusiai instinctively stiffened. However, before she could react, a pale white hand grabbed her ear.

"Sister! I was wrong!"

Admitting her mistake wouldn't change anything. Remien twisted her arm, watching her sister scream in pain, with Mostima and Fiameta beside her.

"Sister Remian, Sister Mostima, and Sister Fiameta, are you all here for tea?"

Since these three were also from Laterano, they often visited Cecilia's family's cake shop, and naturally had a good relationship with Cecilia.

"No, we're just here to buy a gift. It's Miss Chen's birthday today, and the cake she ordered is from your company. We'll have Xiao Le deliver it together, since we were both once members of Rhodes Island."

Back when they were working at Rhodes Island, Remian and others had a pretty good relationship with Chen Huijie. Even now, they still see each other often because of work. The two meet very frequently because their meetings are mostly arranged by Exusiai. Every time Remian goes to the Guard Bureau to rescue her younger sister along with the remaining people from Penguin Logistics, she always feels embarrassed because she's become quite familiar with the Guard Bureau staff.

After all these times, her younger sister had been taken care of by Chen Huijie and hadn't caused any major trouble, and the other party hadn't made things too difficult for her, so she should at least show some appreciation.

"But I'm also very curious, what kind of person does Cecilia like?"

"Hmm... she's very cute, with nine tails, long white hair, and she's not very tall!"

For some reason, Cecilia felt this last point was very important and insisted on adding it. I wonder what Mei Xue will think after hearing it; the little fox will probably cry.

"How come I can almost picture what the other person looks like just from this description?"

Fiameta frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple. Mostima nodded in agreement, also finding the description strangely familiar.

"You too?"

Releasing her grip to let Exusiai recover, Remian looked at her two hunched sisters with a puzzled expression. Their reaction speed and awareness were both very strong, and they quickly realized that something might be wrong. Remian decisively took out her notebook and a pen from her bag, intending to draw out the idea that had come to mind and see if it matched everyone else's.

"Yes, Exusiai, we should set off."

At this crucial moment, Texas, having finished listening to the song, finally came to her senses and shouted, interrupting everyone's thoughts perfectly and making them forget what they had originally intended to do.

"Okay, I'm coming right now. I'll be going now, sis."

"Yes, bring these along too."

With the cake and the gifts Remien bought in the trunk, Exusiai checked them to make sure there were no problems, and then followed Texas to deliver the goods.

Watching her sister leave, Remien squinted her eyes in confusion, pondering what she had been planning to do.

Looking at the pen and paper in her hand, Remy knew she must be planning to do something, but she just couldn't remember what it was. It was as if the idea had never appeared before, and because it had never appeared, it was nowhere to be found in her mind.

Meanwhile, at Chen Huijie's house, Mei Xue breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the tail behind him slowed down. He regretted appearing directly in front of everyone. He should have kept a low profile and not been so conspicuous.

Not remembering doesn't mean they don't remember. Sometimes, just a little hint is enough to loosen their memories of Mei Xue. It's a natural association, just like picking up chopsticks makes them think of eating.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Chen Huijie and Talulah are fine, but Remian and the others reacted really quickly. Fortunately, Dr. and Priscilla were not present, otherwise this test server would have been shut down prematurely.

"Why, Meixue? Isn't it better to stay here? Longmen is a good place. We can find you a suitable place to live, and even..."

Talulah wanted to say that it wouldn't be a problem for her to adopt Meixue, and that she could just talk to Kashena about it, but the little fox said she had some things to do, which was quite puzzling.

This little fox, who has no relatives and whose origins are unknown, looks to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. What can he possibly do?

"No, sister, not now."

If one doesn't connect their own destiny to this world, they won't be able to detect any loopholes. However, Mei Xue's true form isn't here either. The one sitting on this sofa is merely an entity that acts like a tail clone, carrying Mei Xue's consciousness and possessing a portion of her power. It can't even maintain its existence for long and will probably disappear by tonight.

"Not now, what do you mean?"

"Well... In the future, I would be happy to live with you, sister, and I would also be happy to be with everyone, but right now it's really not possible. If it weren't for the fact that today is Sister Chen's birthday, I might have already left."

The little fox was very straightforward, or rather, he was just as he had said before: he would never lie to Talulah.

According to the original plan, Mei Xue was to go to Rhodes Island again, because the vulnerabilities discovered so far were basically related to Rhodes Island, and the points of conflict were also inextricably linked to Mei Xue.

For example, the relationship between Chen Huijie and Talulah, who are half-siblings in the old world, needs to be adjusted in the new world. Mei Xue cannot bring the dead back to life, nor can she arbitrarily find parents for Talulah or Chen Huijie. Therefore, what can be done is to deliberately blur this part. As long as Talulah, Chen Huijie, and those involved do not deliberately recall it, their consciousness will not be disconnected from the setting of the new world, and the loopholes will not be expanded.

For example, Cecilia's father, who is also Felia's husband, is a dead man who cannot be brought back to life. However, in order to link the fates of the mother and daughter, someone is needed to act as a bridge between them.

Therefore, Mei Xue needs to delve into the world to seek the best solution and strive to maintain the stability of the new world.

Once this period is over, Mei Xue won't need to interfere much anymore. The new world is like a tree; it needs care in its seedling stage, but once it grows up, it will have the strength to withstand wind and rain. At that time, the little fox can announce its retirement and go home to relax.

This period will be long for Mei Xue, but for Talulah and the others it will be just the span between today and yesterday, and it will not affect the baby in her belly.

"I can't wait, it's sure to be cute..."

The little fox muttered to himself, a joyful expression on his face, clearly thinking of something to be happy about. However, Talulah and the others just couldn't figure him out.

She wanted to persuade Mei Xue to stay. Even though they had only known each other for less than half a day, she just felt she couldn't let him leave. She instinctively longed for him to stay by her side. She was worried that she would never see him again after he left this time.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We can talk about the rest after we finish eating. However, Mei Xue, you don't have an official status, so you can't operate freely in Longmen. You'll need a guarantor."

At times like this, Lin Yuxia was more adept at being flexible and deceiving than Chen Huijie. She could tell at a glance that this little fox was probably not very smart. If she were left outside, she might be sold out while still counting money for the seller.

"OK then."

Mei Xue nodded, having no objections. As an obedient fox, he knew when to compromise. Once these matters were settled tonight, the little fox would deal with the remaining issues tomorrow. The Doctor and Precys were also points of conflict in the new world.

As remnants of a previous civilization and designated future navigators, the Doctor and Precyth do not belong to any race in Terra. In the new world setting, they were discovered by Kal'tsit and Theresa, which is also the main reason why Babel Industries' scientific research progress has advanced by leaps and bounds.

At first glance, it seems to make no mistake, right? Actually, no. The current world is far different from what Precys and the Doctor originally estimated, and the historical progress does not match their memories. Most importantly, there is Kal'tsit's identity. The Kal'tsit of the new world is really just a scholar. She is too tired. Apart from the responsibility of saving Terra and maintaining balance, her wish is just to be an ordinary doctor or teacher.

The little fox needs to personally go and solve these problems, and also visit Lily of the Valley.

Yes, that's right. We need to see Linglan. We can't hide forever. Linglan definitely remembers everything from the old world. If the little fox doesn't go to see her, it will be troublesome if she comes looking for us in the end. Although Linglan can borrow Su Xue'er's power now, she is not of the same race as Mei Xue and Su Xue'er. Using this power will be very risky.

Actually, Lily of the Valley is alright; she's gentle and considerate, unlike Rosemary which is assertive and possessive. But... Su Xue'er is different. This little fox is fearless, except for her older sister grabbing her tail. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

With the ringing of the doorbell, the matter concerning Mei Xue was temporarily put on hold. Chen Huijie went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Xing Xiong and Shi Huai Ya, who had finished working overtime. In addition to the juice, drinks, and gifts they were carrying, they also brought the materials they had agreed to use to apply for a temporary residence permit for Mei Xue.

Chen Huijie took the form to Mei Xue and was about to have the little fox fill it out when she suddenly realized that she might have overlooked a very serious and important issue: Mei Xue didn't seem to have an ID card.

"Um... Mei Xue, do you have identification?"

"No."

The little fox thought for a moment and finally answered like this. It wasn't that he didn't remember whether he had it or not. In fact, the identity document that Chen Huijie had issued to him in the old world was currently stored in the little fox's tail. However, he had just checked and found that someone else was already using his identity number. In other words, the old identity document was now completely useless and would be regarded as a fake document if taken out.

"In that case, you'll have to come with me tomorrow to get an identity document. Do you remember your birthday, age, and home address?"

"This... her birthday is September 12th, her address is on Qingqiu Mountain in the Great Yan Dynasty, and her age is... um..."

When it comes to age, it's an even more difficult question for the little fox than "choose between cake and cookies first," because he's lived for so long that even if he could come up with a string of numbers in his head, counting them would be a struggle. So the little fox simply stopped reading them and just recited the numbers one by one.

"8203872900268393 years, two months and three days, that should be it, starting from when I can remember things."

As it turns out, being too straightforward and honest isn't always a good thing. At least for everyone else, the string of numbers Mei Xue reported seemed more like a joke.

However, looking at the little fox's serious expression, their intuition told them: he wasn't lying, or he felt he wasn't lying.

New World 8. How come someone is playing mahjong with Mei Xue?

“Um… Louisa, um, is Dr. Kal'tsit here? I have something I'd like to ask her for a favor. Is she in surgery? Okay then.”

"Ah, it's nothing serious. It's just that a friend of mine has run into some problems. I don't know why, but he's experiencing some abnormalities in his memory or mental state. He actually claims to be hundreds of millions of years old."

Because the string of numbers Mei Xue reported was so terrifying, Chen Huijie really didn't dare to believe it. She didn't even remember how many numbers the little fox said.

After Mei Xue said those words, the entire living room fell into a deathly silence, which was broken by Mei Xue herself a few minutes later. After that, they all huddled in the bedroom on the other side to discuss it again, and finally agreed that Mei Xue might have some mental problems, or that her memory might be faulty.

The most likely cause of this situation is the death of the sister whose name the little fox mentioned earlier. The loss of her only relative may have dealt a severe blow to the little fox's spirit, leading to errors in her memory. The key point is that Mei Xue herself has not yet realized it.

So now Chen Huijie is choosing to use her connections on Rhodes Island to see if she can get Kal'tsit to take a look at what's going on and whether there's any hope. If there's no way to save her, she'll be even less able to let go of this little fox.

"Hey, Alina, it's me... Yes, I remember your Originium Arts are psychic, right? Well, my boyfriend... oh wait, I mean I have a male friend here."

Talulah nearly slapped herself. She almost blurted out her true feelings. If Alina knew that she had those kinds of thoughts about Mei Xue, who looked so much younger, she would definitely punch her to death on the spot.

"It's strange that you have male friends I don't even know. Is there something wrong?"

While answering the phone, Alina was also rapidly processing the mountain of official documents in front of her. Her tone was very gentle, but Talulah remembered the scene when this guy punched an illegal building into ruins, and she didn't even get a scratch.

"It's like this, he seems to have suffered some kind of psychological trauma, so he's experiencing some cognitive impairment now. I hope you can help take a look. Do you have time?"

"Of course I do. I have a day off tomorrow, and I'll be free all week. I'll come find you then."

Alina didn't find the matter troublesome at all; Talulah rarely asked her for such a favor, and besides, she was always happy to lend a helping hand.

"That's great! I'll treat you to cake then."

"Okay, I'll get back to work now. There are still some documents to work on today, so I'll talk to you later."

Because she was busy processing documents, Alina decisively hung up the phone. Talulah was not dissatisfied at all, nor did she think that Alina was impatient. She knew her old friend very well; Alina had an extremely good personality.

However, at least this way, someone can help solve the little fox's problem. Whether it's Rhodes Island or Alina, they both hope it will work. Chen Huijie and Talulah both hope so.

In fact, Chen Huijie and the others should have realized it when Mei Xue mentioned that she lived in Qingqiu of Dayan, because there are also legends of fox spirits in the new world. However, the little fox created a cognitive barrier for himself, and coupled with his shocking statement about his age, everyone subconsciously ignored the importance of the address.

Mei Xue was the only one who was kept in the dark, completely unaware of what her sisters were doing back home. The little fox didn't care, because besides being busy patching up the new world, he was also busy playing mahjong with Swire and the others.

Upon meeting Mei Xue, Swire and Hoshiguma felt a sense of familiarity, just like Chen Huijie and the others. They also subconsciously developed a strong liking for Mei Xue, but due to the situation, they couldn't say anything. In the end, at Lin Yuxia's suggestion, they ended up playing mahjong.

Mahjong is extremely popular in Da Yan. Basically, at least seven out of ten people know how to play it, especially in Longmen, where you can see all kinds of stalls playing mahjong and chess everywhere.

Of course, there wouldn't be any betting involved in this mahjong game, otherwise Chen Huijie would definitely start cursing on the spot. At most, the loser would have to clean up and wash the dishes later.

And Mei Xue's luck at mahjong...
