Talulah, I'm still a child.

This made Linglan move closer to Meixue, reaching out to gently hold his clothes for a sense of security.

"Hmm, I can't find anywhere to go for fun."

The little fox twitched its ears. Yesterday, it had taken Lily of the Valley to many places, but it couldn't very well take Rosemary to visit all those places now. However, it was a rare holiday, and it wouldn't be good to stay cooped up at home all the time. Mei Xue felt that would be too boring.

Of course, the main problem is that Rosemary is always thinking about "playing games" with him. It's fine once or twice, but every time it gets very dirty and he has to take a bath because Rosemary's movements are quite vigorous.

Moreover, the kitten is exceptionally clingy and strong. Even if Mei Xue locks the door while taking a shower, the kitten can easily open it and come in to find food. It basically doesn't care whether Mei Xue wants it or not; as long as it can eat its fill, it's fine. However, as a way of repaying Mei Xue, the kitten will let Mei Xue take a couple of gentle bites, and Mei Xue can choose where to bite.

So, not only could Suzuran not stand it anymore, but Meixue also subconsciously knew that things couldn't go on like this.

Therefore, Mei Xue chose to take the two of them out to play together. Sure enough, Rosemary was much quieter. Although she was still clingy, she was generally obedient and sensible. After all, Rosemary actually knew better than Mei Xue what she should and shouldn't do. She had only experienced these things for the first time last night, just like drinking lemon water in the middle of summer, the more she drank, the more she couldn't stop.

"bookstore?"

Rosemary pointed to a rather old bookstore not far away. There weren't many customers inside. Although the little fox didn't know why they chose that place, he was happy to go with Rosemary if she wanted to. Anyway, he was always happy as long as he was with his friends.

As a large city, Longmen has countless bookstores of all sizes. This one is much smaller than the bookstore Mei Xue once visited, but perhaps because it has been open for a long time, it has many old books.

Mei Xue was most interested in the comics and storybooks, while Rosemary let go of his hand and went to another place, and Ling Lan also started to find some books to read on her own.

"Hmm... The story I had to tell my sister, the cute fox fairy fell in love with me, and the genius doctor is too hard to pursue. What strange book titles."

Looking at the books on the bookshelf, the little fox shook his head, seemingly uninterested. However, when his gaze swept over a few books, he was somewhat surprised, because the authors of those books were named "Dr. & Mei Xue". The little fox swayed his tail and reached out to take down all three books.

On the other side, Rosemary certainly didn't suggest coming to this bookstore on a whim. Kitty just wanted to try her luck because Huang had told her before not to come to such unprofessional little places, saying that there were secrets here that only adults knew.

Looking at the number 18 circled in red and crossed out on the curtain in front of her, Rosemary realized that this was the place Huang had mentioned, but she was very obedient and sensible, and she would not go in.

So Rosemary beckoned, and a book and several videotapes flew out of it and floated in front of her.

Rosemary didn't put them away; instead, she let them leave through the ventilation duct. The kitten noted down their prices, planning to pay for them in its own way later. Then, it casually picked up a book that might be about pet care and went to find Mei Xue.

For the three of them, buying books didn't require much picking and choosing. Linglan even chose a fairy tale she hadn't read before. Out of a sense of responsibility as the team leader for this trip, Meixue paid for both of them, while Rosemary secretly slipped the money to the cashier.

"Sister Rosemary, are you planning to get a cat?"

Lily of the Valley looked at Rosemary with curiosity. The latter was stunned for a moment, then noticed that Lily of the Valley's gaze was focused on her hand, or more precisely, on the book.

Rosemary glanced at it and realized that the book she had haphazardly given to others was a "Cat Care Encyclopedia Guide," but since Rosemary didn't need it, she simply handed it to Meixue.

"Well……"

The little fox wagged its tail, looking somewhat helpless. It had only ever grown flowers and plants, but had no plans to keep a pet.

"The main problem is that we can't find any kittens to keep."

Seeing that Mei Xue seemed troubled, Rosemary gently poked his arm and then pointed to herself.

Then, the kitten swayed its tail, twitched its ears, beckoned to Mei Xue twice, and let out a soft "meow," like a cool and aloof Victorian bobcat.

This scene left passersby speechless, and several even bumped into streetlights or utility poles. After all, the cuteness of rosemary is quite irresistible.

However, Lily of the Valley was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Mei Xue didn't find it strange at all. She even covered her mouth and chuckled, then put everything in her hand into her tail.

Mei Xue then imitated Rosemary, but she was as obedient as a cat that always obeyed its owner. With a gentle and affectionate "meow," Ling Lan could clearly see that the people passing by stopped in their tracks for a moment, and then most of them, regardless of gender, subconsciously covered their noses.

As for her? Compared to Mei Xue, who was both soft and seductive last night, this one is still within an acceptable range. Of course, Lily of the Valley and Rosemary wouldn't be like that... Well, just look at Rosemary's eyes and you should know she's hungry again. Why does Rosemary seem to have such poor self-control?

(It couldn't possibly be because Rosemary Sister drank more of the hot milk powder than me last night, could it?)

Afterwards this morning, Rosemary and Lily of the Valley reviewed all the possibilities and concluded that their strange behavior was most likely due to the hot milk from last night, and that Kal'tsit had probably tampered with it. Rosemary had drunk most of the cup, but that shouldn't have caused this, right?

However, seeing that Rosemary was already clinging tightly to Meixue's waist, Linglan knew that it wouldn't be so easy to coax her this time. Helplessly, she looked around and finally pointed to a rather deserted park not far away. It was clear that not many people went there because the roads were overgrown with weeds and the bushes on both sides had not been maintained for a long time.

"This doesn't feel right..."

The little fox frowned, but after glancing at the rosemary beside it, it nodded helplessly, hoping that no one would disturb it.

As the thought crossed her mind, the little fox's tail twitched involuntarily. Lin Yuxia, who had been following behind them, suddenly received an urgent call from Wei Yanwu and had to temporarily abandon her protection duties. The Black Cloaks were still searching for W's accomplices in the slums and it would probably take an hour for them to arrive to provide protection.

(I really hope nothing happened in the past hour)

Lin Yuxia turned and left. She had now become the little fox's invisible bodyguard. After all, Mei Xue's importance was self-evident. She had heard that Ursus and Victoria had also made moves recently.

————————————————————————

"So you want to bring him back to Great Yan just for something so trivial?"

Nian put down her teacup and looked at Lin Qingyan with disbelief. She really didn't expect that Da Yan brought Mei Xue back to control the eleven brothers and sisters.

"...According to the Grand Tutor, when students like to cause trouble, the most effective tactic is for teachers to contact their parents."

Lin Qingyan successfully shut Nian up with these words. After all, what she said was true. As long as Mei Xue was there, even her second brother, who had become somewhat crazy, wouldn't dare to cause trouble and would definitely obey. Don't ask, the answer is the power of the parents.

But Nian thought there was no need for this. It was probably the idea of ​​one of her good older sisters, or perhaps Da Yan had other plans behind the scenes.

However, if the only hope is that Mei Xue helps suppress these "Sui" agents, then it is not an entirely far-fetched explanation, because Nian is well aware of the Great Yan's fear of them. Each of them, brothers and sisters, holds corresponding authority, symbolizing a part of civilization, such as Nian's own casting, Xi's painting, Ling's poetry and songs, as well as rites, music, laws, and the like.

These powers are stronger than most people imagine. In the year, she could even use forging techniques and materials never before seen in Terra to create things far ahead of their time, and she was only the ninth among her siblings.

"Could it be that my second brother is up to some trouble again?"

Suddenly, Nian thought of something and asked Lin Qingyan, while also getting a hint from her face: You guessed right!

"He played chess with the Grand Tutor, and the game ended in a draw."

"That kid is definitely cheating."

Nian interrupted without hesitation. It wasn't that she looked down on the Grand Tutor, but rather that she knew how skilled her chess-obsessed second brother was at playing chess, or rather, how quickly he learned. Without cheating, there was no way he could beat him; even a draw would be difficult.

"It's not really cheating, is it?"

"How did he manage to tie it?"

When asked this question back then, Lin Qingyan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"The Grand Tutor was a devout follower of the Fox Spirit. Before playing chess, he prayed fervently and then asked me to use the Heavenly Mirror to cast a curse on that person. He then took the jade pendant that Mei Xue had left in the Great Yan Dynasty and made all the necessary preparations before going."

Nian's lips twitched twice. So there was such a method. Then her second brother's loss was not unjust. With these buffs combined, the Grand Tutor could not lose as long as he was not playing chess with his eyes closed, because various unexpected events would inevitably occur during this process, causing the outcome to tilt in his favor.

So, what's the final outcome for my second brother right now?

"It's hard to say, but he keeps searching for anything related to Mei Xue, and now he can't catch her."

(Anyway, it wasn't to summon my mom.)

He muttered to himself, at least he could rule out that possibility, because they couldn't gather enough people right now, and this wasn't some ritual where collecting twelve fragments could summon a dragon. To grant a wish, they had to find…

"grass!"

Nian slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock. She had clearly thought of something. Just as Lin Qingyan was about to ask her what she had thought of, Miss Nian was so surprised that she read what she was thinking aloud.

"He wouldn't want to be my stepmother, would he?!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell into an awkward silence. Wei Yanwu and the Rat King, who had only been listening from the sidelines, were so shocked by Nian's earth-shattering words that they dropped their teacups.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought:

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

---------------------------

On the other side, Mei Xue, having fed Rosemary and also made sure Lily of the Valley was full, sat helplessly on the lawn, stuffing the clothes the three of them had been wearing into her tail. Due to some uncontrollable factors, they now had to change their attire.

Fortunately, the rosemary and lily of the valley were careful not to get their tails or hairs dirty.

Thinking of this, the little fox glanced at the two girls sitting next to her. They were muttering something with their eyes closed. The little fox knew that they were apologizing to Amiya in their hearts, because Rosemary had apologized almost five times today.

However, Mei Xue didn't know that Ling Lan had been apologizing to Amiya, while Rosemary had listed a long list of names without repeating any.

(But Amiya, he's really great.)

After silently apologizing in her heart, Rosemary added one last sentence: because the little fox was indeed wonderful. Even though she had only known him for a day, Mei Xue was still as tolerant and doting as Amiya had said. His scent was also wonderful, to the point that Rosemary began to suspect that Amiya had done something similar before.

After all, Amiya slept with Mei Xue when they were little, so Rosemary thinks Amiya will most likely launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

Just as Rosemary was about to drag Mei Xue into the grove, the little fox's communicator rang. Mei Xue saw that it was the Emperor calling and put it to her ear after answering.

"Hey... um, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, the little fox looked apologetically at Rosemary and Lily of the Valley.

"Sorry, the boss just called and asked me to go to the Guard Bureau to bail out Sister Neng and the others. You guys go home first, I'll give you the keys."

"It's alright, brother, you go ahead and do your work. We'll find our way back."

Rosemary nodded in agreement with Lily of the Valley, since she could indeed find it. However, Mei Xue still gave them money to take a taxi directly home, and then turned into a white shadow and disappeared from Rosemary's sensing range.

(By the way, he has an older sister...)

Rosemary suddenly realized that the little fox wasn't living alone; Chen Huijie and the others would be back today, which meant she wouldn't be able to do many things.

But rosemary has its own methods, like Mei Xue's diary, which can hold several days' worth of entries.

Chapter 120 The Little Fox's Little Temper

Bail out the Texas team members—that's Little Fox's mission for today. As Chen Huijie's younger brother, he's a minor celebrity; the officers from the Guard Bureau all know him, and a few even tried to bribe him with candy to pat him on the head.

"Little Meixue, can your big brother pat your head?"

"Go away, Meixue, come here. I'll give you candy and give you a hug, okay? I promise I won't kiss you or touch your tail!"

The guards were all very enthusiastic, making Mei Xue a little embarrassed. The little fox also didn't want to accept the snacks they offered, so she just wagged her tail, hoping that they would make way for her as soon as possible. But her cute appearance made her even more lovable.

Fortunately, Swire returned from patrol at that critical moment. Upon seeing this scene, he clicked his tongue, frowned, and then sternly reprimanded her.

"What are you doing? Do you know that the minimum sentence is five years imprisonment and the maximum is death?"

Although she always had her own loudspeaker, Swire's voice was really loud. The police officers surrounding Mei Xue scattered like birds and beasts, and even the little fox was so frightened that its fur stood on end. However, after realizing that it was Swire, it happily pounced on her.

"Sister Swire!"

"Yes, she's your good older sister."

Enjoying the little fox's affectionate pounce, Swire had a great time. Holding Mei Xue was indeed relaxing, and she could smell a wonderful floral fragrance. Swire understood what it meant to be intoxicated by the soft and fragrant embrace. She even wanted to take a nap with the little fox right now.

"Mei Xue, did you come here specifically to see me today?"

Swire reached out and rubbed the little fox's head, hoping he would give her an answer she wanted to hear, but Mei Xue shook her head honestly.

"No."

"You really can't say anything that makes me happy."

Swire sighed, but the fact that Mei Xue was willing to pounce on her proved that her toy strategy was effective. The little fox was just too dependent on Chen Huijie. It was alright, she could continue to win over Mei Xue.
