Talulah, I'm still a child.

Rubbing her temples, Xi was really upset. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time and felt that she would go crazy sooner or later if she continued like this. But she didn't dare to sleep, afraid that she would meet her own mother's eyes again in her dreams.

From a very young age, Xi dared not sleep alone, because whenever she slept, she would dream of "Sui". The intense fear and anxiety made her stay alert and made Xi miss Meixue even more.

She still remembers how she used to cling to Mei Xue when she was little, always grabbing his tail or biting his ear. She could only sleep peacefully in his arms at night because, in their minds, Sui could only be quiet when she was with Mei Xue.

The past is always something to reminisce about. Xi still remembers Mei Xue's worried face back then. He was forced to raise his brothers and sisters and had to learn how to be a father from scratch, from taking care of their daily lives to providing them with necessary education. Although Mei Xue felt it was hard work, he never complained or refused.

Fortunately, the eldest and second eldest brothers grew up first, and then the eldest sister Ling also stabilized herself and took the initiative to help take care of everyone. At that time, Xi and Nian and others were still young and always called her "Mom".

"Looking back now... wasn't this just reaping what I sowed?"

Rubbing her temples, Xi felt increasingly resentful of her childhood self, especially Nian. It was Nian who said back then that Ling could call her "Mom," and their actions led Ling, who already had feelings for Mei Xue, to make a decisive move.

Actually, it wasn't just Ling; Nian and the other sisters also coveted the position of stepmother. However, Ling made her move earlier. Xi didn't dare to say whether anything had really happened between her and Mei Xue, since Ling would always pester Mei Xue during that time, and they even slept in the same room at night.

But as Xi grew up, she realized a problem: why should she be able to be a stepmother when others could? Rather than letting others benefit and having her sisters suffer by calling a stranger "Mom," she decided to take on the role herself.

Anyway, we're all family and know each other well. I don't think the older sisters would have any objections to Xi Bao sitting in this position. After all, older sisters should give way to their younger sisters.

However, Xi is now facing a problem. As a homebody who can stay at home for more than ten years at a time, she has no way of knowing Mei Xue's whereabouts since she doesn't even leave the house. Back then, everyone went their separate ways to find Mei Xue, but they searched all over the country and still couldn't find his location.

Now it all comes down to who finds Mei Xue first and who has the advantage. Of course, Ling doesn't count. Damn, this woman even dared to go in and soak with Mei Xue while she was taking a bath. This level of shamelessness isn't something you can achieve just by being thick-skinned. Even just thinking about it makes Xi blush.

Actually, she did paint a few pictures that were not suitable for minors, but those were just to relieve her loneliness and she couldn't really take them seriously.

"Sigh... If only we could find the person directly."

Xi rubbed her temples. If it weren't for the trouble, she would also like to go out and find Mei Xue. Otherwise, it would be too terrible if Mei Xue led a stranger to her and said, "Xi, come and say hello to your stepmother."

What's even more terrifying is that Mei Xue might say this to Nian or Ling while holding their hands.

"No, I have to go out!"

With a gentle touch, the entire room transformed into a painting in Xi's hand, revealing the original appearance of the simple little house. She planned to go directly to find someone; this was her first time venturing out after being a recluse for over ten years, and she hoped to gain something from the experience.

However, as soon as Xi opened the door and stepped out, she saw the Nine-Colored Deer standing at her door. The two old friends looked at each other for a while, and Xi realized something.

"Any news?"

"Yes, I found it."

"What's the attitude of the Great Yan side?"

"As long as you don't cause trouble, it's fine. It's also good that you can protect him. Da Yan respects his choice. If you need anything, just let us know."

The Nine-Colored Deer's smile brought peace to the mind. Xi had thought she had almost forgotten about this matter, after all, she had entrusted the Nine-Colored Deer to help investigate Mei Xue's whereabouts hundreds of years ago. She didn't expect to get the information she wanted to know today.

"And... what about them?"

"Ling got the news first and rushed over, while the rest are temporarily unable to get away."

"What about that year?"

“…Mei Xue is on her side.”

Upon hearing this news, Xi felt a chill run down her spine. Not only had Mei Xue and Nian made contact, but Ling had also gone that way. Something was wrong.

What does "Da Yan" mean?

"It doesn't mean anything. Da Yan would never harm him. It's just... I want to repay what I owe him."

Nine-Colored Deer sighed. Sure enough, Xi and Ling had asked the same question. But it was understandable. After all, Mei Xue's abilities were too greedy, making it hard not to think that Da Yan might have some thoughts about him. However, Da Yan was not heartless and ruthless, and it was impossible for them to do anything to their own auspicious creature.

It's more accurate to say that the Great Yan Dynasty was most afraid of Mei Xue getting into trouble. If it weren't for the little fox's own feelings, they would have arranged for someone to bring him back long ago.

"There's one more thing: he no longer has any memories of the past."

As a friend, Nine-Colored Deer felt it would be better to give Xi a heads-up.

"So...you have a chance."

Chapter 122 The Little Fox Bravely Fights the Big White Wolf

"Sister, ah~"

As the little fox fed Lappland the spoon for the last time, lunch was almost over. But Lappland felt a little unsatisfied, mainly because this kind of feeding allowed her and Meixue to be in a fairly close distance.

The pleasant floral scent emanating from the little fox reached her nose directly, allowing Lappland to fully relax. She even began to wonder if the little fox was hiding some secret.

Watching Mei Xue get out of bed and pack her things, Lappland's gaze fell on the glass of water she had poured. In front of the little fox, she took out a white pill and put it into the glass of water.

"Drink it."

"Sister, aren't you going to drink?"

Mei Xue didn't care what Lappland put in the water. The little fox didn't think the other party would harm her because Lappland looked at her in a way that resembled Talulah's, only more undisguised and direct.

"This is for you; consider it part of a gift."

Lappland rested his chin on his hand and looked at Mei Xue, feeling no remorse for deceiving the little fox. On the contrary, he found it quite amusing. After all, Mei Xue was unexpectedly cute and innocent, and he didn't even notice when Lappland drugged him in front of him. Perhaps it was because Lappland would do such a thing in front of him that he felt it wasn't dangerous.

Regardless, Mei Xue did not doubt Lappland. Instead, she innocently picked up the cup and drank all the water in it, then couldn't help but twitch her fox ears.

"It tastes great, especially the orange flavor!"

Watching Mei Xue wag her tail happily, Lappland simply waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

However, after a few minutes, when Mei Xue finished packing her things, Lappland didn't notice anything wrong with him. He still looked normal, and even seemed more energetic than before.

This behavior made Lappland turn her gaze to the incense. She finally realized that something was wrong. Although she was currently in an unstable state and had become sensitive from absorbing the incense for too long, and her brain was hot and bothered, Mei Xue had been here for more than ten minutes and was perfectly fine.

(This little fox's body is a bit strange.)

Normally, there are two possibilities: either Mei Xue is forcing herself to stay awake, or she has found a way to eliminate the effects of the medication on her, or the medication is genuinely ineffective for her.

Considering the little fox's cunning and intelligence, the answer could only be the second one. Now Lappland's interest in him has grown even stronger. She really wants to study the little fox's origins carefully, but she doesn't necessarily need to find out everything. She'll just keep it as Mei Xue's secret.

Although the medication was ineffective on Mei Xue, Lappland was already finding it hard to endure. Before Mei Xue arrived, she had already spent more than ten hours in this incense-filled room. A normal person would react within ten minutes, and at most, would begin to lose themselves within three hours.

From this perspective, Lapland does indeed possess unimaginable self-control, but ultimately there are limits.

"Meixue, are you going to get busy?"

"Hmm... no, I also have a day off today, so I don't have anything to do. There are just two friends at home."

"That's good. Come and sit with me for a while longer."

Lappland patted the side of her bed. The little fox thought she was lonely because she had been alone for a long time. Mei Xue could understand this feeling. The little fox wagged its tail and sat down on the side of Lappland's bed.

Perhaps deeply moved, he gently placed his hand on Lappland's head and stroked it before she could speak, causing Lappland, who was about to reach out, to freeze in place.

"Sister, be good~ Meixue is here~"

Following the comforting words Talulah and Alina had given her in her memory, Mei Xue did the same to Lappland, and this sudden turn of events was completely unexpected.

Feeling the small hand gently stroking her head, Lappland didn't know whether she should burst out laughing. She was being treated like a child, especially by this little fox.

But when she came to her senses, her head had unconsciously rubbed against Mei Xue's hand, and she even deliberately let him touch her pointed ears. A weak current traveled through her nerves to her brain, causing Lappland's tail to stand up straight.

"...You, phew, never mind."

Lappland reached out and hugged Mei Xue, letting the little fox's head rest on her soft chest. In terms of figure, she felt that she was somewhat better than Texas, at least that was the case before, but now it was hard to say.

However, Lappland's "it's fine" only meant not minding Mei Xue's head patting, because the little fox wanted to pat more than just that spot; she really liked Mei Xue now.

"Did I do something wrong, sister?"

"No, but do you know how long ago it was the last time I was patted on the head?"

After saying all this, Lappland didn't give Mei Xue time to guess. She simply lowered her head and gently bit Mei Xue's ear, telling him the answer.

"When I was about eight years old, my family touched my head, so...why don't you want to become my family too?"

"Um... Sister Lappland, aren't siblings family?"

Mei Xue wagged her tail. She would choose Chen Huijie, who seemed very polite and approachable, when dealing with women who looked older than her. The older sister was the best choice, which applied to most women. Moreover, siblings were also part of the family relationship. If Lappland allowed Mei Xue to become her family, then Mei Xue would agree.

"Of course, but we're not really siblings, we're not related by blood, so there's only one way for us to become family..."

When Lappland said this, Mei Xue clearly sensed a strange light flashing in her eyes, but her words successfully caught Mei Xue's attention.

In fact, Mei Xue could understand without Talulah and Chen Huijie saying anything. He was truly homeless, and if he hadn't met Kal'tsit, he probably wouldn't have known that he had an older sister.

So even though she considered herself a part of the whole, a part of Chen Huijie's family, Mei Xue still had a hurdle she couldn't get over. The little fox wanted to know how to truly become a member of her sisters' family.

"Do you remember the game we played last time?"

"Ok!"

"That's actually the method I mentioned, so don't do it to outsiders, understand?"

Lappland pinched Mei Xue's tail, feeling the little fox's soft fur, and wondered if he should just let him hold him and sleep with him.

"Don't worry, I know!"

Mei Xue nodded. Texas had told him all this before, so the little fox never did that to outsiders. Those who could play these games with him were all very close friends... Hmm, if it wasn't an outsider's call, then it must be someone from his family!

It can only be said that the little fox's perspective on problems is indeed quite novel, but Lappland can't care about that at the moment. She can feel her rationality waning. Fortunately, she is usually a wild and unrestrained person, so Mei Xue doesn't feel that anything is wrong.

"Now I'll teach you the rest."

Lappland gently placed her hand on Mei Xue's shoulder and stroked his face. Although she only had theoretical experience, she was definitely a crushing opponent compared to Mei Xue.

Of course, the actual situation will depend on real combat.

————————————This is a dividing line that everyone understands; you don't need to read it if you're reviewing it——————

While the little fox and the big white wolf were fighting, Miss Black Snake was completely numb. It was true.

Actually, she was also following Mei Xue that night, but she had to come back because of the simple reason that Mei Xue was the Black Snake.

Choosing Kashina's body as her activity body was the best choice for Black Snake to ensure her own stability. At the same time, since they were both Black Snakes, there was no need to worry about any hidden dangers after taking over the body. Moreover, because Kashina was completely unprepared, Black Snake was able to successfully seize control.

But this has also led to some problems, namely that she has not yet shaken off her identity as the Black Serpent, in other words... she still has to do things for Ursus.

"You want me to contact Talulah?"

"Yes."

Looking at the informant in front of her, Kashina picked up her coffee and took a sip, her mind churning with rage. This was the fourteenth time she had mentally cursed the radical aristocracy from top to bottom.

After all, it was this sudden standby order that forced her to rush home that day, and then come up with a whole plan to deal with Ursus's attempt to forcibly take Mei Xue away.

Now, these idiots with brains smaller than walnuts are actually telling her to go find Talulah, all for Kosch's plan.

"Tell me your reason."
