Talulah, I'm still a child.

While eating, Mei Xue hummed a song. After finishing her meal, she would bring two lunches to Chen Huijie and Talulah, and then find a place to take a nap. The garden on Rhodes Island was quite nice, and the air was fresh. It could only be said that Rhodes Island held a special meaning for Mei Xue, as the little fox would feel more sleepy there.

"Mei Xue, your tail feels really nice to the touch..."

Specter rarely put away her teasing attitude, because she had genuinely grown fond of Mei Xue's... tail. Her affection for the little fox wasn't based on any memories, nor was it as unforgettable as Talulah's. Specter felt more that Mei Xue was easy to get close to and subconsciously wanted to protect him.

Of course!

Mei Xue picked up the cake that Ghost Shark had given her. The little fox had eaten all the food on the plate before, leaving only this piece. Mei Xue's eating speed was so fast that it brought tears to Xiao Ke's eyes.

Mei Xue accepted Ghost Shark's praise with satisfaction. This body was a one-to-one replica of his original... Wait a minute, he sculpted this body himself, so why didn't he think to make it taller when he was sculpting it?!

Seeing Mei Xue suddenly go from being smug to looking utterly dejected, Ghost Shark subconsciously reached out and gently patted her head, sensing that the little fox was radiating a lot of negative emotions.

"Why wasn't it made a little higher? If it were a little higher... we wouldn't need to stand on a stool to cook."

Listening to Mei Xue's mutterings, Ghost Shark didn't quite understand why it was about making her taller instead of just growing taller, but she knew that this was a problem caused by her height. She took a quick look and realized that Mei Xue's height of 1.45 meters was indeed a bit short, but the key point was her tails, which made Mei Xue look even smaller.

"It's okay, little Mei Xue is even cuter."

After calming the little fox down, Ghost Shark felt he could look up some information about Mei Xue later. Unlike the last time when he simply wanted to tease Elin, this time Ghost Shark genuinely felt that this little fox... well, she was quite suitable.

New World 26. Sweet Dreams for All

"Am I...asleep? Was everything that just happened a dream?"

Swaying and groggily waking up from her daze, Chen Huijie rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed. After realizing that everything she had just experienced was just a dream, she lowered her head in disappointment.

"My child with Meixue is only three years old, and it's all a dream... No, no, Chen Huijie, how can you think like that? It should be a dream, otherwise it would be illegal."

Chen Huijie quickly pinched her groin and finally distinguished between dream and reality. She also understood why some people like to dream so much. The world of dreams is really great, but unfortunately, it's still fake.

"But this is... a ward in the Rhodes Island medical school building?"

Chen Huijie glanced at the sign hanging on the wall and scratched her head in confusion. She remembered that she had just captured Talulah and snatched Mei Xue, so why was she here?

"Let me think... I remember I was planning to hit Talulah on the head, and then Mei Xue... he..."

As the memories in her mind gradually became clearer, Chen Huijie's face turned red. She subconsciously pursed her lips, and a sweetness that did not belong to her came from her lips. It was exactly the same taste as when a ripe cherry is bitten into.

Her cheeks flushed, Chen Huijie finally remembered why she had fainted. It was probably because she hadn't processed what had happened in that moment—after all, it was her first kiss! (At least for her now.)

"Wait a minute, that shouldn't be enough to make her faint, right?"

Although her face and ears were burning hot, Chen Huijie felt that she couldn't possibly have fainted just because Mei Xue kissed her; she wasn't that thin-skinned.

"Speaking of Talulah, Talulah... ah, here she is."

Seeing that Talulah had also fainted, Chen Huijie got up and walked to her side. She didn't know what to say to this older sister. How come she never realized that this girl actually liked younger men?

However, it's clear that Talulah's dream wasn't as wonderful as Chen Huijie's; in fact, it was a complete nightmare. She was frowning and seemed to be saying something.

With a touch of curiosity, Chen Huijie leaned down to listen to her sister's sleep-talking, wanting to know what she had dreamed about that made her like this.

"No...no...Meixue...don't marry Huijie. I don't want you to be my brother-in-law. You should be her brother-in-law!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, several black grid characters appeared on Chen Huijie's forehead, and then she raised her hand.

"What the hell are you dreaming about, you *Longmen swear word*?!"

"what!"

Talulah's screams echoed through the empty corridor, so much so that Mei Xue in Rhodes Island Gardens looked towards the medical school, but the little fox just twitched her ears and continued to lie on the ground.

The lawn in Rhode Island Gardens is very soft; lying on it doesn't feel prickly at all. Rather, it's very soft, as if it were made specifically for people to lie on. The little fox really likes this feeling.

Mei Xue originally planned to stay in the ward and wait for Chen Huijie and Talulah to wake up, but there was nowhere to sleep there, and she couldn't lie on the two of them, so the little fox simply came over here.

"Ow~"

Unable to resist yawning, Mei Xue twitched her fox ears. Within the boundaries of Rhodes Island, the little fox was always sleepy. Back in the old world, Mei Xue was the type who could fall asleep as soon as she lay down with her tail in her arms. The dining hall tables, the corridors, and Mei Xue's favorite greenhouse garden... Speaking of the garden, Mei Xue missed Vina a little.

The current Vina is no longer an operator of Rhodes Island, but Queen Alexandrina of Victoria. Of course, the power of the Victorian monarchy is not what it used to be. The newly formed council has replaced the noble council and limited the power of the monarchy. Vina's role as queen is more of a symbol. Although she is not without real power, Mei Xue feels that she still prefers the sofa in the Grass Gang back then to that cold and hard throne.

The Grass Gang's wish was to help Vina ascend the throne. However, after entering Londinium, they had different views. They realized that war was not as simple as gang fighting. Those they cherished could die meaninglessly at any time during the war. In war, not everyone could achieve fame and success like the protagonists in novels or biographies, or sacrifice themselves heroically.

Many people die suddenly. A war can often produce a dozen or more heroes who will be remembered for generations, but it can also leave behind hundreds of thousands of nameless skeletons.

So Mei Xue made some changes on her own initiative, allowing the Glass Gang to continue existing in its original form. The girls are living well now, and occasionally, Vina will visit them in private. They drink, sing, and play games together, which is always good.

Yes, it's always good. Otherwise, Mei Xue's actions would be meaningless. He listened quietly to everyone's wishes, spent countless years arranging all of this, and pondered for a long time before letting Theresa, Precys, and Cecilia enter into the perspective of fate to choose the best future in their hearts.

As a member of an ancient civilization, as the Demon Lord of the Sarkaz race who is compassionate yet has suffered discrimination and prejudice, and as a girl whose bloodline is somewhat special, but who is otherwise unremarkable.

Three people, the most special and the most ordinary, their wishes intertwined, becoming the canvas for the new world that Mei Xue constructs.

"I'm so sleepy..."

Actually, she wasn't sleepy; she just felt it was time to sleep, so she felt sleepy. All of Mei Xue's actions stemmed from her own will. Mei Xue was already used to this side of herself, so she simply closed her eyes.

A gentle breeze blew, the shadows of the trees swayed, and Mei Xue's tails obediently covered his body; they would not allow anyone to disturb Mei Xue's peaceful dream.

The repair work continues, and the loopholes disappear in the blink of an eye. Without many people noticing, their lives are changing in large or small ways.

In fact, it's not just Mei Xue who is shrouded in a cognitive barrier; the entire new world is shrouded in an even larger cognitive barrier, which of course serves the same purpose as Mei Xue: to rationalize the irrational.

In human cognition, lighter gases rise and heavier objects fall. However, due to cognitive barriers, even if a ripe apple flies into the sky and clouds fall to the ground, people will think, "Ah, that's how it should be. What's wrong with that? No, that's how it should be."

However, Mei Xue's selfishness led him to seal everyone's memories but not their feelings, which caused some problems. For example, now, his peaceful dreams make people feel that they have a chance to take advantage of him.

"He actually fell asleep in a place like this. His vigilance is too poor. But... we shouldn't be so harsh on him."

Sitting on a tree not far from Mei Xue, Lappland twitched her ears. She was extremely curious. As someone who followed her heart, her heart fluttered because of Mei Xue, and she wanted to get to know this little fox better.

However, a suitable opportunity had not been found until now, but now it seems possible?

Who is that?

Just as Lappland was having this thought, she saw another white figure walking towards her not far away. He looked somewhat similar to Mei Xue, but his temperament was gentler. Lappland even subconsciously felt that he might be Mei Xue's mother, but she quickly dismissed the possibility.

Firstly, because the other person wasn't Wolper, and secondly, because it was a boy, which would have been easily recognized by other students at Rhode Island Medical School if they were there.

Ansel, the most outstanding student in the medical department, who made Miss Aya stay up all night studying, was judged to be the most beautiful girl in Rhodes Island when she enrolled two years ago because her gender was unclear. Even now, countless male students and teachers still regret it.

"Although I won't catch a cold, it's still a bit too casual to just sleep here like this."

As Ansel spoke, he walked to Mei Xue's side. Mei Xue's tails were instinctively wary of him, but they quickly relaxed. The auras were similar, yet fundamentally different. Ansel took off his clothes, folded them neatly, and gently lifted Mei Xue's head to place it underneath him as a cushion.

With these tails around, he wasn't worried about Mei Xue catching a cold, but he was worried that the little fox wouldn't sleep comfortably when it woke up.

"Little brother... Ha, I didn't expect you to actually get involved with me. But one meeting is fine, let's meet again after you've really finished all this."

Compared to the brothers, if a passerby who didn't know them walked by at this moment, they would probably subconsciously mistake them for mother and daughter, simply because Ansel has such a temperament, like an all-encompassing mother, and Mei Xue is so lively that even when she is asleep, she still gives people a lively and lovely feeling.

After saying that, Ansel gently stroked Mei Xue's head, subconsciously pinched his fox ears, and then smiled, disappearing without a trace, like the wind blowing away the clouds.

He did not interfere with the new world created by Mei Xue; he simply stayed there for a day, experienced this new identity, and offered his blessings to the world that Mei Xue desired.

At the same time that Ansel disappeared, in the Rhodes Island lounge, the original Ansel woke up in a daze.

Mei Xue was unaware of what had happened, nor was Lappland. Even after witnessing it all, when she came to her senses, she still didn't know what had just occurred. Apart from the clothes Mei Xue was using as a pillow, everything Ansel had left behind vanished without a trace, like the morning mist in the mountains, as the sun rose.

"What's going on...?"

Instinct told Lappland that something must have just happened, but she had no memory of it. She seemed to just stare blankly at Mei Xue for a few minutes.

She jumped up and slowly approached Mei Xue. Since she was also Mei Xue's familiar, the tails did not drive her away directly.

Walking to Mei Xue's side, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Lappland subconsciously chose to be quiet, even worrying whether her footsteps were too loud and might disturb the little fox's sleep.

(Wait, why am I thinking about these things?)

Lappland frowned in confusion, pondering the unusual thing that was happening to her; frankly, it was very strange.

If a complete stranger could stir her heart, it could be explained as love at first sight. But now, Lappland keenly realized that her concern and affection for Mei Xue came about in a completely inexplicable way.

No one falls in love with a complete stranger for no reason. Lappland instinctively put her hand on the sword, then, on second thought, she let go.

Her wolfish instincts made her want to get rid of the little fox that was disturbing her mind, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Another voice in her heart kept stopping her. Lappland glanced at Mei Xue's tails, which seemed to be lying casually on the grass. Her intuition told her that if she had pulled her sword out even a little bit, she would not have had a good ending.

However, she didn't stop because of this fear; she just felt that it would be better to kill herself than to have Mei Xue pull out her weapon.

"I know him... no, perhaps I should say I already knew him, so he must know me too?"

Although her nickname is "The White Wolf of Saluzzo," it doesn't mean that Lappland is not smart. In fact, she is very clever and quickly figured out that these oddities came from her own memories.

But since that's the case, directly asking Mei Xue might not get her an answer, so she needs to do something herself.

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

While Mei Xue was sleeping peacefully over there, Zuo Le, looking at the undisguised name of "Nianjia Hot Pot Restaurant" on Longmen Commercial Street, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Lunchtime had passed, and the restaurant was temporarily closed. Only a pot of hot pot remained in front of Zuo Le, still boiling. Judging from the red oil and chili peppers floating on the surface, if Zuo Le dared to touch it, he would probably be facing a terrible ordeal the next morning.

"Eat up, why aren't you eating?"

As she spoke, she picked up some hot pot ingredients and put them in her bowl, taking several bites. She didn't care whether Zuo Le ate them or not; she was just going to eat them herself.

"I've already eaten. No, I didn't come here to eat!"

Zuo Le quickly shook his head, then looked around. It seemed that there was really no one else in the store except him and Nian. It was a bit strange that a hot pot restaurant that mainly served red food would use a white fox as its mascot, but Zuo Le didn't find it strange.

"What about Yuu and Rei?"

"My younger sister is holed up in the painting and refuses to come out, and my older sister... is probably drunk and still asleep. Just say what you want to say. Sigh, it's pitiful that I have to earn money and support two other people."

Seeing Nian's unreliable behavior, Zuo Le thought for a moment and decided that telling Nian alone wouldn't be a bad idea.

"The Great Yan has a clue about the fox spirit, which means... your father has been found."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Le immediately regretted it, because after hearing what Nian said, he spat out his food along with the hot pot soup.

New World Chapter 27: W's Cruel Training

"Ugh, another boring day."

Bored, W twirled the pin on her grenade. She felt she really didn't belong in the peaceful and tranquil Rhodes Island. It wasn't that her personality was particularly boisterous, but if it weren't for the fact that it was peacetime and she had to consider Theresa and the little rabbit's feelings, the Doctor's office would be a scene of spectacular fireworks right now.

W is a restless person by nature. She dislikes war, but she has to admit that she has no other skills besides destruction. However, the doctor discovered her talent for explosives and her destructive skills and arranged for her to join the demolition team, which can be considered as W finding a suitable job in this world.

But it's not like someone needs to destroy the house every day. When there's no work to do, W will go out for a walk like this to avoid getting sick from being cooped up. She's not like Kal'tsit. Rather, W has never liked Kal'tsit. It's really strange that the two of them haven't fought yet. Ah, maybe it's because W knows she can't beat her. After all, Kal'tsit's little pet could really tear her apart with its bare hands.

Rhodes Island is, after all, her second home, so W wouldn't just randomly plant bombs there. The main reason is that Theresa is at school right now, and if she bombs something, she'll get a lecture, which W feels would be troublesome. The main reason is that she really admires Theresa.
