Talulah, I'm still a child.

W sighed. Of all the friends he could usually tease, Ines was the only one right now, and she was right next to Theresa. He thought that physically blasting the fish in the pond would be a good idea.

"What a boring life, but... anyone who looks forward to war must have something wrong with them, hmm?"

Just as W was figuring out how to defend herself for blowing up the fishpond later, her gaze suddenly fell on a huge white fluffy ball on the grass to her left.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is not a fluffy white ball of fur, but a little fox taking a lazy afternoon nap.

(What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm teasing him, but I'm also worried about scaring him?)

What a strange feeling. W frowned. So far, she had only ever felt this way for Theresa’s beloved little rabbit named Amiya, and that was only because of Theresa.

But this little fox in front of her... to be honest, she didn't recognize it, so why did she have this inexplicable worry?

"That's strange, but... it's always okay to play a little prank on me, isn't it?"

With that thought in mind, W pulled out a marker from her pocket! Of course, it couldn't be a grenade; she just liked causing explosions and playing harmless pranks, nothing serious. She wouldn't actually want to kill anyone; at most, she'd just draw turtles or something.

However, just as W unscrewed the pen cap to draw her signature smile on Mei Xue's left cheek, Mei Xue's tails, which had been lying on the ground sleeping and sunbathing with her, quietly stood up behind her. Anyone who tried to disturb Mei Xue's sleep would be punished, not just W, but even Talulah and the Doctor!

However, Lily of the Valley and Cecilia are exceptions. It's not that they are particularly special, but if it were these two who came, they would probably not disturb Mei Xue's sweet dreams at all. They would most likely just hug one of her tails and lie down next to her to sleep, without disturbing anything else.

However, W is a dangerous individual who needs to be strictly controlled!

So Mei Xue's tail wrapped around her legs, hanging her upside down, and the second tail took the opportunity to wrap around her hands.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Before W could react to what was happening, another tail blocked her mouth to prevent the guy from making too much noise and disturbing Mei Xue. You see, even though Mei Xue was asleep, she wasn't idle in her dreams.

And probably feeling that this alone wasn't enough to make W suffer, the fourth tail gently curled up the marker she had dropped on the ground and slowly came to her.

"Hmm? Waaah! Waaah!"

Realizing what might happen next, W struggled to break free from the tail's hold, but her feet had no foothold and her hands were tightly bound, leaving her powerless.

The whimpering sounds were a bit noisy, so Mei Xue's tail thoughtfully plugged his ears to ensure that even if Lungmen exploded later, it wouldn't disturb him.

The fourth tail was created by first drawing a chibi-style nine-tailed fox on W's left cheek, and then drawing a chibi version of Mei Xue on her right cheek. The drawing was quite exquisite and looked rather cute.

Finally, she didn't forget to draw a flower on W's forehead. Hmm, it looked pretty good. Mei Xue's tail seemed quite satisfied with what she had done, wagging it proudly.

W's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. This kind of humiliation was something she had never experienced before. She was always the one who teased others. Damn it, her fists were hard, but what could she do? She couldn't win!

They're still hanging there, what can be done?

"Ugh! Ugh?!"

Just as W was pondering how to escape, she suddenly felt her body begin to sway, or more accurately, sway passively.

"Waaaaah!" (What are you doing!?)

Although she really wanted to speak, she could only make whimpering sounds. All the sticky grenades in W's pocket were shaken out and then put away by the little fox's tail. These were all dangerous items.

W's eyes were fixed on Mei Xue, filled with anger and displeasure, and seemingly with some barely perceptible grievance. When had W ever suffered like this? Damn it, she had to get revenge!

Most importantly, W had no idea that Mei Xue's tail had its own thoughts; she only thought it was a little fox's scheme.

However, Mei Xue was just sleeping and didn't pay any attention to her. The little fox, who was in a dream, had no idea what was happening outside. She just seemed to see someone who was very... familiar but she couldn't remember who it was when she was half asleep. She heard a nice voice and felt like she was being cared for by her mother.

However, Mei Xue, who was immersed in the dream, still needed to work hard to repair the contradictions and loopholes in the new world. But after he entered the dream, the abnormal existence that suddenly appeared disappeared inexplicably. If it were the real Mei Xue, he would definitely be able to detect the other party's whereabouts. But the little fox was just an incarnation and did not have such powerful strength. The repair work alone was already very hard.

After numerous repairs and fixes, even Mei Xue herself has begun to doubt whether this new world can be launched on schedule.

Although it's estimated that the contradictions and loopholes will be fixed by the night after tomorrow, it still feels like there are too many patches. Mei Xue has begun to doubt her life as a fox.

"Forget it, let's just keep making it..."

Mei Xue said this in her dream and continued her busy work. The little fox still didn't realize that W had been hoisted up by its tail.

Considering that Mei Xue might be confused to see someone hanging there when she wakes up, Mei Xue's tails gathered together to discuss it and finally decided to pack W up and throw her away. However, throwing her away carelessly would hurt W, which was something Mei Xue didn't want to see.

After a brief discussion, the tails casually placed W by the roadside. She understood the difference in combat power between the two sides, so she didn't linger and chose to flee the scene. Her explosives and grenades were with Mei Xue.

However, she was determined to write down this grudge today, and W was no gentleman. Forget about the idea that revenge is never too late; she insisted on settling all scores on the spot. She was going to take Ines with her!

Mei Xue, who had just had a good night's sleep, was still unaware that he, or rather his tail, had offended W. He simply turned over and continued sleeping. However, it was clear that he wasn't the only one who thought the lawn on Rhodes Island was a good place to sleep.

"Hmm...why are there other people here?"

Looking at Mei Xue lying under the shade of the tree, Skadi scratched her cheek in confusion. The spot where the little fox was lying was where Skadi usually slacked off. Because it was a corner of the school, few students or teachers would come here, so it gradually became Skadi's private resting place.

However, after Ghost Shark and Grandia bumped into each other one time, they would occasionally come here to slack off together.

"I've never met her before, but she seems so cute."

Skadi squatted down beside Mei Xue and poked the little fox's cheek. She found it surprisingly nice to the touch—soft, bouncy, and unexpectedly smooth.

"Um……"

She looked familiar, and not just in a normal way, but in a way that felt like you'd seen her before. It was the kind of familiarity you felt when you met a close childhood friend but couldn't remember their name. Skadi sat down next to Mei Xue with some curiosity.

She wondered if she had seen Mei Xue somewhere before.

(Are you stupid? This is Mei Xue! You don't even recognize Mei Xue?)

The voice in her heart said this, and a flash of realization crossed Skadi's eyes. That's right, it's Mei Xue, the little fox she likes. She... No, what's going on? Rhodes Island, Agor... No, no.

Sensing Skadi's overwhelming emotions, Isamara truly didn't know what to say to her. Mei Xue's actions weren't wrong; it was just that Skadi was too slow-witted and couldn't grasp the situation.

Mei Xue, who was patching up the new world in her dream, suddenly shivered and was surprised to find that a large number of contradictions had suddenly appeared in front of her. These were all contradictions that had been fixed yesterday, just like the ones that arose when she helped Talulah unlock her memories. There were even quite a few new ones.

This means that the little fox's work last night was completely wasted, and the recurrence of these contradictions will likely lead to some chain reactions, such as other people besides Talulah and the people who created these contradictions regaining their memories.

"I don't want to work overtime!"

The little fox has already shed tears twice today because of the workload she's about to have.

Skadi in the real world didn't think too much about it. She just felt very sleepy. Two completely different memories were intertwining and colliding in her mind, and her limited brain capacity couldn't handle them.

Skadi thought to herself, "When I'm sleepy, I should go to sleep." She lay down next to Mei Xue, reached out and hugged the little fox, and used her orca pillow as a pillow. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, giving her brain plenty of space to think.

However, as mentioned earlier, although this place is Skadi's exclusive spot for slacking off, Specter and Grandia also come here. Since they couldn't find Skadi in the lounge, they could easily guess that she was here.

But when the two of them walked over slowly and looked at Skadi and Mei Xue in her arms, they fell silent. This scene was really hard to explain.

Did Mei Xue make the first move? It doesn't seem like it, since Skadi was holding her so tightly; it's more like she made the first move.

"Captain, what do you think would happen if we took a picture of this and sent it to Ulpian, and he saw his own cabbage actively entangled with someone else's fox?"

Ghost Shark looked at the two people in front of him with a forced smile, took out his phone, took a picture, then removed Ulbian from his blacklist, sent it to him, and then added him back to the blacklist.

Goredia looked at her teammates with some confusion. It was not uncommon to see Specter like this. Was he angry because of Skadi and Meixue? But why? Just two days ago, Specter was joking at dinner that if Skadi didn't lose weight, no one would want her in the future.

Looking at it now... putting everything else aside, at least Skadi won't have to worry about finding someone, isn't that a good thing?

Ignoring Gladys's strange look, Specter stepped onto the lawn and came to Skadi and Mei. She first removed Skadi's hand, then picked up Mei separately and casually gave her a tail to keep her from causing trouble.

After doing all that, Specter hugged Mei Xue in his arms and waved to Greta.

"Captain, remember to turn off the light for me, I'm going to sleep now."

As he spoke, Ghost Shark closed his eyes, leaving Gladys looking up at the bright sun in the sky. Turn off the lights? Has the little mermaid girl's second personality popped up again?

Just as Greta was at a loss for words, Chen Huijie and Talulah finished their lunch left by Mei Xue, and now they needed to solve a problem.

Where is Mei Xue?

Talulah looked at her dear sister, who nodded to indicate that it was no problem, and then raised the Crimson Blade in her hand, the red blade pointing in one direction.

Now Talulah finally understood why Chen Huijie had managed to catch her even after she and Mei Xue had been running for so long. It turned out that the Crimson Sky could also be used as a navigation device.

"Although I hate to admit it, Chixiao really likes Meixue."

Chen Huijie looked distressed, like a victim.

New World 28. Plastic Sisterhood

"Judging from the files, this Superintendent Chen is diligent and upright. Although it is said that the strong are easily broken, it would be more worrying if the one who takes over the Dragon Gate is a cowardly and sycophantic person."

Looking at the files he had retrieved and combining them with his investigation of Chen Huijie today, Taihe was fairly satisfied. The people who came to examine him were different every year, so this was the first time he had ever known who Chen Huijie was.

"Then this part of the trial can be considered passed. Lord Wei treats her as his own daughter and has taught her the Crimson Sky Sword Technique without reservation. She is worthy of being entrusted with this task."

As Lin Qingyan spoke, he looked down at the compass in his hand. The compass was pointing in the direction of Rhodes Island, and the two of them were not in any other place, but at the entrance of Rhodes Island.

On the other hand, it's not easy for Nian to get her older and younger sisters out on weekdays. After all, her younger sister is a reclusive artist and housewife, and her older sister is an alcoholic poet. The former doesn't want to go out, and the latter is always hungover.

However, this was a special case. After hearing Zuo Le's words, Nian practically threw him out and then rushed to the second-floor corridor, reaching out to tap the ink painting.

"Xi, come out quickly!"

"Ha, what's up?"

A ripple appeared on the ink painting, from which a pair of dark green horns emerged, followed by Xi's entire head. However, she only poked her head out, looking at her older sister with an impatient expression.

"Stop holed up in your drawing, something big is happening!"

"Tsk, what big thing is it? Is Lungmen about to explode?"

"Father has been found!"

Upon hearing this, Xi's expression was no better than when she heard the news the previous year; in fact, she was even more shocked. Her eyes widened, her pupils contracted slightly, and the pen in her hand fell to the ground. She wondered if she had misheard.

Of course, it couldn't be that Nian was making fun of himself. Other things might be joked about, but there was no possibility of that in this matter, because Xi knew that their father was the bottom line for all of them, and that was the only line that could never be crossed.

"where?"

"The people from Si Sui Tai have also arrived. They're in this city. Take the things with you, and we'll go find them."

"Okay... wait, aren't you going to invite your older sister and older brother?"

"you're so dumb."

Nian reached out and tapped Xi on the head, then couldn't help but glance at Ling's bedroom. He leaned over to listen and, finding no other sounds coming from inside, breathed a sigh of relief. He then walked back and lowered his voice.

"Have you forgotten? Your sister had inappropriate thoughts about Dad back then and even succeeded in winning him over. If we tell her, she'll really become our stepmother this time. If we tell Big Brother, he'll definitely tell her too. What will happen then?"

Because what Nian said made a lot of sense, Xi subconsciously didn't choose to refute it. After all, putting aside everything else, the brothers and sisters in their family were all quite interested in Mei Xue, especially the sisters, who were all more cunning than the other. The eldest sister was even more scheming. As the winner of that year, she even lied to her two younger sisters to call her "Mom." How despicable! So this time, there was no way she would bring Mei Xue along!

Sisterhood? What sisterhood? Back then, when she tricked the two of them into calling her "Mom," she didn't care about any sisterly affection. Thinking about it now makes me angry.

"Then let's go!"

Xi nodded. At a time like this, who cares about sisterly affection? Once she gets Mei Xue, she'll do whatever it takes to take her place. As for whether it's Nian or her? It's definitely not Ling!

With that in mind, the two sisters packed their things and set off. However, neither of them noticed that after they left, the vase at the end of the corridor suddenly came to life, turning into a small blue dragon that burrowed into Ling's bedroom. Ling was not asleep at all.
