Talulah, I'm still a child.

"No, I don't agree to this marriage!"

Talulah appeared just in time to interrupt their conversation. Regardless of what she was wearing, Talulah picked up Mei Xue and protected her like a mother hen protecting her chicks, as if afraid that the little fox would be kidnapped by Lafiella. Although she knew that was unlikely, she still thought it was better to be safe than sorry. Mei Xue seemed to have a special fondness for people who were on the same intellectual level as her.

Seeing the main character appear, Rafiela had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea. Her intuition told her that she was not qualified to compete with Talulah in her current state.

Carrying Mei Xue back to the edge of the bathtub, Talulah lay down on the sofa together. She couldn't help but yawn, still feeling a bit sleepy after just waking up. But thankfully, her little fox hadn't been kidnapped.

Now, with her memories returning, Talulah feels more and more that this world is full of dangers. She always feels that one day someone might jump out from somewhere and try to steal Meixue from her. This little fox is really flirting with people everywhere, and the key is that he is completely unaware of it!

"Mei Xue, is there really no place on this land where you don't know anyone?"

Talulah couldn't help but complain about it, feeling that if you kicked anyone in any place on this land, you could probably find someone Meixue knew.

This little fox's circle of friends is really outrageous.

"Well...maybe not."

After pondering for a long time, Mei Xue finally came up with this answer: it seemed that there really wasn't one for the little fox.

Back then, I traveled all over the world with Miss Doctor. Except for Agor, I went to Sargon and even remote areas like Sami. Mei Xue was also very popular and could make friends wherever she went.

Over time, the little fox made a lot of friends.

"Seriously, ah, there's just no way to deal with you when it comes to this."

With a tone completely like that of someone coaxing their lover, Talulah couldn't help but pinch Mei Xue's cheek before lying down with the little fox on the soft yet comfortable waterbed.

"What's your relationship with her?"

“I came here when she was little. I was trying to persuade the local self-defense forces of Bolivar, the leader of the Candela gang, to make Dosorez our ally. I also rescued her father at the time, and we spent some time together. She started calling me brother.”

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears. This time, besides seeing the people here, she mainly wanted to meet Rafiella. Her former little sister had not only become an excellent bartender just like she had said when they were young, but she had also grown taller than Mei Xue, which made the little fox feel quite uncomfortable.

The thought that in just a few years, Cecilia, who is now so cute and cuddly, will grow taller than her makes Mei Xue droop her ears.

"What's wrong? Are you upset because I disturbed your relationship with that girl?"

Talulah reached out and rubbed her little husband. She was a little jealous. Yes, she admitted that Rafiela was a very cute girl. She was beautiful, had a good figure, and was a bit of a ditz. She was indeed very likable. But Talulah was no less so, except for her personality.

"How could that be?"

Mei Xue twitched her fox ears, swished her tail, and snuggled into Talulah's arms. The little fox didn't even realize that Talulah was jealous. He just reached out and drew circles on Talulah's chest, his tone full of grievance and disappointment.

"I was just thinking, Rafiella used to be so small, half a head shorter than me, but now she's so much taller than me, and... Cecilia seems to be growing taller too."

The little fox couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the thought of this. He didn't want a world where everyone else grew taller except him!

"So, you're worried that nobody will help you grow taller?"

"Gurgle... I feel like I'm not going to grow any taller, but can't everyone grow a little slower?"

Lily of the Valley is also growing taller. Even though she has never admitted it, Mei Xue can feel that it is an indisputable fact. The little fox and she have been close together so many times, how could she not even notice this?

"It might be difficult, Meixue. I don't think you need to worry about it. Think about it, your daughter will grow taller than you in the future."

As she spoke, Talulah gently blew a breath into Mei Xue's ear. It was clearly a seductive temptation, but to the little fox, it sounded like a nightmare whisper, making Mei Xue shiver involuntarily.

Thinking of that future, Mei Xue couldn't help but bury her head in Talulah's arms.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry."

Seeing that her joke was about to scare her little husband to tears, Talulah quickly comforted him, but she couldn't help but smile. To be honest, she found teasing Mei Xue to be a very interesting thing.

Now that they're all her people, Mei Xue can't run away even if she wants to. Well, as long as they're not in bed, then this little fox will only have the chance to be bullied by her.

"You're so cute! I'm sure the luckiest thing that ever happened to me was finding you."

It felt so good, so very good. Just thinking about how her best friends were stuck at home chewing on handkerchiefs while she could freely hug and tease Mei Xue made Talulah feel incredibly happy.

But this means that... there are only three days left until the final wedding day.

To be honest, even during the Reunion Movement, Talulah had been wondering what it would be like if she really married Mei Xue.

But when that day actually came, she became worried: could she really be a good wife and a good mother?

New World 43. Wedding Preparations

"More than a decade ago, Terra's landscape was balanced yet chaotic."

Leaning gently against Talulah's chest, Meixue used her tail to shield herself from the glaring sunlight. The little fox wasn't telling Talulah the history of the new world, but rather the past of the old world. After all, if she didn't explain clearly how she met the quill pen, or rather, Rafiella, Talulah probably wouldn't let her off the hook.

"Bolivar was arguably the most restless place in Terra at the time. The struggle between the local Bolívar army, the Singas dynasty supported by Letania, and the puppet regime supported by Colombia never stopped. However, although the Bolívar army was a resistance force organized by the oppressed themselves, it was in great difficulty without support and had many internal contradictions, making it the weakest in terms of power."

"Then, about eight years ago, the Singas dynasty and the United Government secretly plotted to eliminate the Bolivarian rebels while they were still weak, because they found that the Bolivarian rebels were growing too fast, just like the Reunification Movement."

Similar reasons, similar beginnings, almost different endings, but Talulah had Patriot and Frostnova as powerful combatants by her side, as well as Alina, a political commissar with extremely high talent. In comparison, Bolivar's resistance army did seem too weak.

However, they are natives of Bolívar, a self-rescue force that rebelled against oppression. Such a force, once it finds the right path, can easily spread like wildfire, and Talulah is well aware of this.

"So, you and Miss Doctor got involved?"

"Sister, you should know by now that neither the Doctor nor I are from this world. Or rather, I just happened to become the starting point of this world."

The little fox took Talulah's hand and placed it on its head, rubbing it against it.

“The Doctor is different from me. She has her own memories of the past. After she realized that this was a world she used to know, she realized that she should do something, because she could do it and it was necessary to do it.”

"And then you became her power?"

"Yes, because that was my original duty; I was her assistant."

The little fox replied with something that Talulah didn't quite understand, but didn't need to understand. She simply hugged her lover, gently stroking his shoulders, and playing with his hair and ears.

"The Bolivarian resistance was an unexpected turn of events for us, but rescuing them was in line with our plan, so we didn't have to start a force from scratch."

“We orchestrated false intelligence that the resistance had suffered heavy losses, but in reality, we had Candela secretly help and support the resistance’s development.”

"The Singas dynasty and the coalition government have long been neglected by Letania and Colombia behind them, and are naturally no match for the rebels. In the end, the intervention of the Terran United Council is needed."

With the situation clear, in order to avoid losing their prestige in parliament, the two allies, Colombia and Letania, dutifully dealt with the troubles they had left behind. In response to the protests of the Singas dynasty and the coalition government, they had only one attitude: Why did the rebellious son betray his father?

The histories of the New World and the Old World share many similarities, and these similarities are what Mei Xue uses to connect the two worlds. For example, if he wants a peaceful and stable New World, the Old World must be in a similarly stable state. This is why the little fox helped the Reunion Movement defeat Ursus and caused the United Council to take action against Bolivar.

On the day the Terran Union announced its intention to mediate the chaotic situation in Bolívar, the sorcerers of Letania and the chariots of Colombia marched together to Bolívar.

"Thus, this became one of the connecting points between the old and new worlds."

"...Was it the doctor's idea?"

Mei Xue wouldn't do that, and the little fox wouldn't think about these things. Talulah knew very well that this was something Mei Xue didn't like to do, but if it was a plan proposed by the Doctor, Mei Xue would execute it unconditionally. He wouldn't ask why, nor would he have any doubts about his actions.

Talulah even suspects that if the Doctor had given Mei Xue a mission to kill her instead of helping Integration, the little fox would have done the same.

"Ah."

"The relationship between you two... is so good that it's almost enviable."

Talulah couldn't help but sigh. She was a little jealous. No one could shake the trust between the Doctor and Mei Xue, but at least this time, the little fox was being held in her arms.

"But it's alright, you're mine now."

"Hmm, but does Sister really want to invite everyone over?"

"Of course, Nai! It would be such a waste not to share something like this, which only happens once, with your best girlfriends!"

Smug, even a little arrogant, she wanted to invite the people she cared about to her wedding as everything was coming to an end, and then... give those losers a good thrashing.

To be honest, Talulah is getting a little cocky now, after all, she's almost at the finish line.

"But I have a feeling... something unexpected might happen?"

"Oh, don't worry, they can't just crash the wedding, can they? By the way, Meixue, you still won't tell me where the wedding will be held?"

"Since it's a surprise, I definitely can't tell you. But you can guess where it will be, sister."

The little fox twitched its ears. Although it wasn't the first time it had ever gotten married, this was the first time it had been so formal. Mei Xue twitched its ears, still trying its best to mend the contradictions in the new world.

After working overtime for a while, Little Fox's workload is not too high now, and she should be able to finish it completely by tomorrow morning.

Although an unfixable loophole remains, it won't affect the progress of the new world. Besides, the loophole only affects everyone on Rhodes Island, who are all on the same side. Mei Xue believes they won't tell anyone, not even Xiao Ke.

"I guess... emmm, never mind, there are too many possibilities."

In countless days and nights, Talulah had imagined the circumstances under which she and Meixue would marry: a solemn church, a vast grassland, or a snow-covered plain.

“However, since we’re already planning to hold a wedding ceremony, wouldn’t it be better if we got our marriage certificate first? It can be done here in Bolivar.”

Thanks to the existence of the Terran United Council, data is now shared between countries in some areas, such as marriage registration. A marriage certificate can be obtained by filling out a few slightly complicated forms, and it is valid throughout Terra.

"elder sister."

"Ok?"

"Look at my height, do I look like someone who can get a marriage certificate?"

"..."

For a moment, Talulah felt a sense of sadness. She finally understood why Meixue was often troubled and depressed because of her height. It was indeed something that was hard to talk about.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Mei Xue's age cannot be understood using common sense. Sometimes when he takes a nap, he doesn't know how many stars will go from burning to going out during that time. Although Mei Xue's actual age is much longer than people can imagine, compared to his endless future, it seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Moreover, Talulah estimated that Mei Xue really wouldn't grow any taller. Regardless of his actual age, just by standing there, Mei Xue gave people the feeling that "this is a very cute and well-behaved child." No one would believe that his age was even older than this land.

"What should we do then... No, it's okay, let's just not get the marriage certificate then."

Anyway, no one says you can't get married without a marriage certificate. You can just hold a wedding ceremony and then find a way to get the marriage certificate later. For Talulah, this matter is not in a hurry.

However, the fact that they don't have a marriage certificate cannot be known to others. Otherwise, even if the wedding ceremony is over and they find a place to live, Talulah is certain that someone will kidnap Meixue while she is not at home. This little fox is really easy to fool.

"But Meixue... do you think I can really be a good mother?"

Talulah gently stroked her lower abdomen. She still felt a mix of emotions about this child. She always felt a little nervous. She had talked and seen so much in her daily life, but when it came to actually becoming a mother, it was impossible for her not to feel a little apprehensive.

"Sister's words are definitely not a problem. Hmm, by the way, where are we going next?"

"Since you said you wanted to see what the world is like, then let's do as you wish. I'm fine with anything."

"Actually, it's not that necessary."

Mei Xue lay on the waterbed, stretching out her tail to relax her body.

"Aside from Terra, I'm actually still observing other worlds. The beginning of the new world is wonderful, but how it goes from here depends on everyone. I just... wanted to see some old friends while I was at it."

"In that case, how about we go to Victoria?"

"Victoria?"
