Talulah, I'm still a child.

"No need, sister, I'll run back by myself in a bit."
Mei Xue shook her head and declined the offer. In fact, the little fox was walking so slowly simply because he wanted to take a walk. He could easily sprint all the way and get home in ten minutes to start cooking. Besides, Rosemary had just messaged her saying she was shopping, so it didn't matter if Mei Xue got home a little late.
As for what to buy, Rosemary didn't say, and she didn't plan to ask Meixue to buy it for her. But to put it simply, it was just a few sets of clothes, but they were rather special because Rosemary had seen them in those materials.
"Um... is it okay to buy these...?"
The waitress was at a loss for words, because she hadn't expected that this generous customer would... well, still be in a relatively vulnerable age group.
As a clothing store that isn't very big, it's not uncommon for customers to buy other things on the side. However, Rosemary was surprisingly small, so much so that the sales assistant didn't dare to check out her order.
"My sister asked me to buy it for her."
As Rosemary spoke, she handed over a photo of herself and Huang. As fellow members of the Flint family, they were somewhat similar, not to mention that Huang had affectionately placed her overdeveloped frontal armor on Rosemary's head.
Seeing this photo made the waiter feel a little better. At least the two people in the photo really looked like her. It's not like there weren't precedents of people asking others to buy clothes because they were too shy. After all, these clothes are a bit daring. Unless someone is seriously mentally ill, no one would want to wear them out.
"Here is the invoice, please take it."
Anyway, Rosemary gave her enough money, so Little Cat bought seven or eight pieces of clothing at once and planned to try them on one by one later, and then play with Mei Xue. She really wanted to know if different clothes would really bring different feelings.
As for the time? Well, Chen Huijie won't be able to go home tomorrow either, so Rosemary has a whole day to go. And considering that her physical strength isn't very good, she didn't try to exclude Lily of the Valley from the list either, so she'll take turns.
"Thank you."
Rosemary put away the invoice and took the photo she was handed over. The little cat glanced at Huang's chest, then at her own, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. However, she remembered that she could try papaya milk and other methods like manual kneading.
However, Rosemary isn't in a big hurry, since she still has plenty of time to develop. She also tested her growth properly when she took a bath at noon today, and it's indeed a bit bigger. Maybe it's because of last night?
With all sorts of thoughts swirling in her mind, Rosemary carried a large pile of clothes home. Meanwhile, Mei Xue, who was walking home with Lin Yuxia, suddenly shivered. The little fox had a feeling that something strange was going to happen tonight.
However, he was still chatting and laughing with Lin Yuxia as they walked towards their home. There was no way around it; this Sister Lin was more enthusiastic than he had imagined. She was always worried that Mei Xue might encounter trouble going back alone.
Meanwhile, at Penguin Logistics, the four-person group that had just been released on bail today were incredibly attentive to the Emperor.
"Come, boss, have some tea."
"Boss, this month's business report is ready."
"Hey boss, let me give you a back massage."
"Boss, let me sing you a song."
Listening to the four girls chattering away and watching them dawdle around him, the Emperor felt like his head was about to explode. He now fully understood why these girls were so annoying; the Texas squad was never one to stay still.
"Alright, alright, stop being so helpful. What's the matter? Which territory did you bomb this time?"
There aren't many things that would make Exusiai and her group show such eagerness; the most likely explanation is that they've blown up someone else's territory again.
However, Texas's head-shaking startled the Emperor for a moment, and his expression became somewhat strange.
"Which gang did you clash with?"
"Not at all."
"Tear down the Guard Bureau?"
"You guys wouldn't have secretly taken pictures of Wei Yanwu strolling through the flower market, would you?"
"How could that be! If we're going to take any pictures, it should be of Mei Xue in the bath, okay!"
Exusiai quickly shook her head. How could they possibly do such a thing? After all, Mei Xue was the most attractive one.
"That's right, boss. We're perfectly law-abiding citizens. How could we possibly do such a thing?"
Sora quickly tried to smooth things over. Although she didn't think that Exusiai and Texas were law-abiding citizens, after all, these two had a rather flexible moral bottom line when it came to Mei Xue's affairs, and had even dared to cross the red line of the law.
"Obey the law? Do you even believe that yourself?"
The Emperor rolled his eyes dismissively. "Law-abiding, my foot! Who knows how long each of them spends in the Guard Bureau every year? They even managed to get a few game consoles into their regular prison cells; they practically treat it like their own home."
"Um... okay, we did break the rules a little, but this time it really wasn't because of those things."
Exusiai didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only look at Texas, who closed her eyes helplessly, and then opened them again after a while.
"Boss, actually we were planning to ask you about Mei Xue, such as... his background."
This question left the Emperor speechless for a moment, but he gently swirled the wine in his glass, then looked up at Texas, his tone no longer flippant.
"How did you know?"
“Last night we had a conflict with some people. They all knew about Mei Xue’s background, and even… people from the Great Yan came, wearing red robes.”
In fact, Texas and the others did not suspect anything at first because of the Emperor's strange attitude towards Mei Xue. It wasn't until last night that they realized something was wrong, because when the Emperor first saw Mei Xue, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
He then showed Mei Xue extraordinary enthusiasm. Not everyone deserves to be treated like this by the Emperor. At least Texas was seeing it for the first time. At the time, she thought it was because Mei Xue's abilities were very helpful to Penguin Logistics.
So the answer is obvious: it's not that Mei Xue's abilities are too special, but that the Emperor knows his identity and may even know him from the past.
"You...are friends?"
"No, actually that day was the first time I met him, but I had dealt with another one before that."
The emperor put down his glass of red wine; even now, he could not forget that person.
"She is the embodiment of plague and disease; her very existence is a curse. She can only maintain her self-control when she is insane. She is the source of all calamities and misfortunes."
“Even if a normal person just utters her name, they will be cursed and die within a short time.”
In fact, it wasn't just ordinary people; when the emperor said these things, he could clearly sense something was amiss, but he didn't intend to stop.
"Her name is Su Xue'er, and He is also called Er."
As the last syllable was uttered, the Emperor felt a sharp pain coursing through his body. He clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground in front of Texas and the others, finally losing all life.
Exusiai and the others were unsurprised by this, since everyone knew the Emperor was immortal. So, they tacitly closed their eyes and counted down in their minds, starting from ten, nine, eight—
"Alright, alright, open your eyes. Ouch... It's cardiac arrest and angina, caused by excessive drinking and irregular sleep patterns."
As the Emperor's voice rang out again, the four Texases opened their eyes once more. The Emperor picked up his wine glass again and waved it at them, his meaning quite clear.
"Now you understand, this is the power of those two siblings."
"Now I finally understand why Mei Xue was able to make a fortune by buying lottery tickets."
Kong was indeed terrified. Just saying the name would lead to death, and in such a logical and plausible way. Even if an autopsy were performed, it would be impossible to find any unusual conclusions. If it weren't for the Emperor's immortality, the group of them could have seriously considered creating a "Mei Xue Logistics" today.
"Hey, Exusiai, what are you thinking about?"
Croissant gently nudged Exusiai's arm. This girl had been silent ever since, even less talkative than Texas, which was unlike her.
"I'm thinking... how can I trick Meixue into marrying me? Would that bring me good luck?"
Exusiai touched his chin as he spoke. It has to be said that this was a very novel idea. After all, with just this ability to manipulate luck, Mei Xue could definitely have a great future. Although Lin Qingyan said that Mei Xue couldn't fulfill any big wishes right now, Exusiai only coveted his body, apart from the apple in his tail.
"Of course, your luck will be better than ever before. When you're short of money, you might find a wallet, meet kind people, or even have someone accidentally transfer a large sum of money to your account."
The Emperor nodded in agreement, since it was Su Xue'er who had told him this herself.
"You can always find great discounts when buying groceries, the bus you need will always arrive at the station with you, you're guaranteed to win the lottery, and you can always get the character you want when playing gacha games."
Simply by giving these examples, the Emperor's words were enough to silence the four members of Exusiai, but Texas then remembered something amiss.
"But boss, we've been with Mei Xue for so long, and he doesn't seem to have shown such strong luck."
"...That's because he only has three tails left now."
At this point, the Emperor sighed deeply. Clearly, having only three tails left was not a good omen for Mei Xue.
Chapter 125 The Grand Plan of Lily of the Valley and Rosemary
As time went by, Mei Xue and Lin Yuxia also came downstairs. The little fox looked at his own window and couldn't help but feel grateful that he had Rosemary and Lily of the Valley with him these past few days.
Because of W and Ines's appearance, the Guard Bureau and even Lungmen need to reassess the safety of the slums. After all, Mei Xue also took that path, and this place is the biggest loophole in the entire city. Therefore, Chen Huijie had to work overtime overnight.
The little fox decided to bring some food to her sister later. Also, Miss Black Snake sent a message in the afternoon saying that she had to leave Longmen for a while to go on a long trip.
In other words, the little fox will have to live with Lily of the Valley for several days now, and that also includes Rosemary, if the latter doesn't leave.
However, Mei Xue didn't find it troublesome. The little fox was actually very afraid of being alone. Before, Miss Black Snake would keep him company in her tail, but now Miss Black Snake had her own body and her own things to do, so Mei Xue was alone again.
Although she usually acts normally, Mei Xue never lets her guard down when she is alone outside. The little fox can pull a black mushroom out of her tail at any time and blow up the surrounding area.
"I'll stop here, Sister Lin. I'm home now."
Mei Xue seemed a little reserved. Although they had talked all the way, the little fox and Lin Yuxia were not very familiar with each other. At least Mei Xue had no intention of inviting the other to her home.
Of course, if he really did that, Lin Yuxia would be nervous, but she has certainly had her eyes opened along the way.
As she and Mei Xue walked along, every pedestrian they encountered would intentionally or unintentionally avoid them, and every red light at every intersection would turn green just as they reached the side. Mei Xue simply bought a drink and won a free one for her, and as a result, the little fox successfully made the shopkeeper remember her by using this trick.
Moreover, Lin Yuxia witnessed someone who accidentally stepped on Mei Xue's foot being hit on the head by a flowerpot, then crashing into a telephone pole, and finally being knocked to the ground by an empty stroller while still in a daze.
"Okay, take care of yourself. It's always a bit dangerous to be out alone."
After much deliberation, Lin Yuxia still didn't say anything about "children not running around outside." Putting aside Mei Xue's age and seniority, which made her call her "Grandmother," the little fox's incredible luck alone should make people wonder if anyone could really harm him.
"Mmm~ Thank you, Sister Lin~"
Watching Lin Yuxia leave, Mei Xue glanced at the setting sun. It had been sunny and the air was too dry lately. The little fox wagged its tail helplessly. It had sweated a lot today and would have to take a good bath when it got back.
"I wish it would rain."
As these words fell, Mei Xue turned and went upstairs. However, an unusual wind rose in the sky, causing Surtr, who was far away in the wilderness, to look up. Now she could clearly sense the location of the point of disturbance in the fortune.
Mei Xue had no idea what his words would bring about, nor did he care. He simply went home obediently, took out his key to open the door, and greeted Lily of the Valley and Rosemary.
The house was peaceful as always, but Mei Xue noticed that Rosemary and Lily of the Valley were dressed differently than at noon. This change made the little fox wag his tail curiously, because he felt that the clothes were strange.
Rosemary was wearing a long white shirt, but it was so thin that Mei Xue could vaguely see through it that she was only wearing the top. Her feet, which were originally exposed, were now covered with black stockings, making her look even thinner, but with a striking presence.
Linglan's outfit was more elaborate, a girls' school uniform, but the skirt was very high, and Linglan was still wearing her white tights. She looked much more sunny and cute. Meixue felt that she looked even better when she smiled than before.
Welcome back.
"Welcome back, Brother Meixue!"
Indifference and passion, quietness and liveliness, rosemary and lily of the valley are like two opposing sides, but they both look at Mei Xue with the same emotion in their eyes, the same emotion they had after they got carried away last night.
"New clothes?"
"Um... for you."
Rosemary's subsequent answer left Mei Xue somewhat confused. What did she mean by "for him"? Weren't these clothes being worn by the two of them right now?
However, the little fox didn't think too much about it. He simply turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for his two good friends who were temporarily living together. The little fox had bought quite a lot of groceries.
