Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mei Xue was stunned. He decided that he would gag himself every night before going to sleep to avoid saying anything he shouldn't. Why couldn't he control his mouth when he was asleep?

However, he also had something to say. Because he was young and didn't know any better, he was often deceived, so he had some ambiguous relationships with some people, such as... well, although he has amnesia, he can't remember them all on one hand.

"Speechless now, huh?"

"I am speechless..."

Mei Xue knew that anything he said at this moment would be a lie, so he could only close his eyes and reach out to hug Ling's waist.

"After all that talk, you've practically wrapped your tail around my leg, all you want is to do it again, isn't it..."

"There needs to be a reason."

Seeing that Mei Xue had given up resisting so understandingly, Ling decided to temporarily let go of his past romantic entanglements. After all, she knew that Mei Xue had lived for so long and couldn't possibly have lived without having a close female friend or something.

Based on her memories of him at the age of 18, she realized he was incredibly gullible as a child. A single apple could lure him into bed and where he would lie obediently. Originally, she was planning to gradually subdue him before going all in. But now... to be honest, she felt that vixen tasted better than alcohol.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

However, just as Ling was burying himself in his work, two little heads popped out from behind the tree, taking in the whole scene. He was greatly shocked and gained valuable experience for his growth.

—————————————(This is a dividing line that cannot be viewed)————————

When Ling's last bit of energy was exhausted, the moon was already high in the sky. She was so tired that she could hardly catch her breath, but Mei Xue was still very energetic. She just stared at the starry sky, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge every year on Qixi Festival. Have you ever seen the Magpie Bridge?

"I wrote this legend ten years ago."

Mei Xue stretched her waist. After working for so long, she was quite tired, mainly because maintaining a state of constant movement made her waist sore.

"Have you ever seen a Cowherd?"

"Strictly speaking, I am a male prostitute."

"Then... never mind, I don't want to be the Weaver Girl."

Ling shook his head, then gently bit Mei Xue's tail.

"why?"

"That means you can only have fun once a year, which is not enough. Even if it's a day in heaven and a year on earth, it still won't be enough."

Seeing Ling say such things in such a serious manner, Mei Xue felt so annoyed that he wanted to throw her into the river, but he couldn't bear to do it.

"No, that's not right. I feel like being the Weaver Girl is actually not so bad."

Ling's fingers twirled through her hair, and the usually bold and unrestrained woman was now alluring enough to make one's bones melt, but this trick was basically ineffective against Mei Xue.

Why is it good?

"Since the Weaver Girl is the Cowherd's wife, aren't you going to say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Xue immediately understood Ling's meaning. He was waiting for him to marry her formally. However, he did not intend to run away. Instead, he took out a ring from his tail and placed it on Ling's hand.

"what is this?"

Ling looked curiously at the little trinket in her hand. She knew it was suitable to wear on her hand, but there was no custom of wedding rings in the Great Yan Dynasty.

“A long time ago, a friend of mine said that two people who truly love each other will become husband and wife, and the rings on each other's ring fingers are proof of their love.”

"Is it really okay for me to give this to you?"

"Of course, it suits you perfectly."

Mei Xue wagged her tail happily, and then, to Ling Xinxi's delight, took out an identical ring from her tail.

"And I have as much as you need, so I don't have to worry about not having enough!"

"..."

Looking at Mei Xue, who seemed somewhat proud, Ling suddenly realized that this girl was, after all, a fox spirit, and the one who created the saying that fox spirits bring disaster to the country and its people.

In other words... who knows how many people would want to be her stepmother.

"Actually, Qixi Festival is no different for me."

Mei Xue put the ring away, then hugged her tail and looked at the sky, which, though fake, still felt familiar.

"As long as the person you like is by your side, that's enough. The feelings between you won't really change because of what anyone does on a certain holiday. Love always takes time to build up."

"No, age is not."

Ling raised his hand, then looked at Mei Xue's puzzled expression and shrugged helplessly. After all, he had some of Mei Xue's memories, so Ling happened to know a little bit.

"From the moment she met you, she was thinking about how to get you into bed."

"..."

Mei Xue said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

"how about you?"

"Feel what's under you."

Ling's words made Mei Xue reach out and touch the ground beneath her, but all she found was soft grass. Wait a minute... grass?

The moment Mei Xue understood, he realized that it would be best if he didn't spend time alone with Ling in the future, but no matter what, this kind of life would probably continue for a long time.

Chapter 126 Kal'tsit's Secret Scheme

It was late at night, and many people, whether at the Rhodes Island office in Lungmen or on the main Rhodes Island ship that was heading here, were having trouble sleeping because of the recent events.

"I knew he wouldn't come back so easily."

Inside the conference room of Rhodes Island's main ship, Kroos's words reflected the sentiments of most people. At this moment, the conference room was filled with Rhodes Island's elite core members, who would never betray them, and more than half of them had a past relationship with Mei Xue.

"According to the report, Mei Xue really doesn't remember us anymore..."

"It's good that he can remember the name, but can someone explain how he and Suzuran became online friends? Back then, Rhodes Island was almost a week's journey from Lungmen."

"What's so strange about that? Our lovely little fox can't be described by ordinary standards."

"Indeed, I still remember the scene where he conjured a black mushroom bomb and blew the Blood Demon Lord into the sky. That thing was even edible."

Seeing that the topic was gradually going astray, ACE couldn't help but glance at Amiya, who was sitting in the head seat. She had been quiet since the beginning, so perhaps Theresa was the one controlling her body at the moment?

In any case, when they successfully evacuated Kazdel, the sudden half-resurrection of Theresa really startled everyone. The once despondent Babel regained its fighting spirit and was reorganized into the current Rhodes Island. Theresa also stayed behind the scenes, only occasionally coming out to have tea and chat with everyone.

"Let's have some quiet time."

ACE gently tapped the table. As a veteran elite operator, his words were always more pleasing to listen to. The previously chattering crowd quieted down. In fact, this was a characteristic of Rhodes Island; meetings often turned into a noisy marketplace.

"The main problem now is Mei Xue himself. If he is unwilling, then no one can take him away. I think no one wants to become the next Theresis or the Blood Demon Lord."

Being targeted by Mei Xue is a somewhat frightening thing. If the little fox likes you, then congratulations, your luck is on the rise. If the little fox hates you, well... I heard that Therese's neurasthenia has flared up again. The Blood Demon Lord chokes on everything except water. All of Babel's former enemies are now living in fear.

"About this..."

Amiya's sudden speech silenced everyone. It was mainly because her gentle voice and manner of speaking made it clear that it was Theresa. Actually, it didn't matter who it was, since they were all company bosses anyway.

“I think Kal'tsit will definitely bring him back.”

"...But this time she doesn't seem to have brought the sack that contained Mei Xue more than forty times."

"Um... it will probably be a more peaceful approach."

Theresa didn't know how to answer either, since everyone generally thought of Kal'tsit and Meixue's relationship as: a cold, aloof cat and her disobedient pet fox.

"But what about the Great Yan? After all, they are Mei Xue's family. We can't ignore their feelings. To be honest, I think it would be good if they didn't cause any trouble this time."

Kroos spread her hands. Although Rhodes Island is a somewhat well-known company, it is not particularly outstanding among Terra's enterprises. This is partly because Rhodes Island has only been developing for a short time, and partly because it is necessary to conceal itself to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

But no matter what, a company is just a company. It's no match for a behemoth like the Great Yan. If they were to fight head-on, Lungmen alone could wipe out Rhodes Island. None of Wei Yanwu's Black Cloaked Men are pushovers.

"If this is a problem for Kal'tsit to consider, we just need to wait."

Amiya smiled, or rather Theresa smiled as she answered, and the astute Kroos understood her meaning. No wonder, after receiving Mei Xue's message, she didn't act herself but sent Shining instead.

Looking at Amiya in the chief position, Kroos realized for the first time that this was what palace intrigue was all about. Amiya didn't even have to do anything; she just had to wait here for Kal'tsit to bring Meixue back. As for how to bring her back, that was Kal'tsit's business.

However, Warfarin, who was standing next to her, looked completely bewildered. When she joined Rhodes Island, Mei Xue was no longer there, so she didn't know the little fox and naturally couldn't understand the hidden meaning in her words.

"Let's move on to the next topic, regarding the Doctor's return. We have reached an agreement with the Reunion Movement, and they will cooperate with us to bring the Doctor out. However, considering the necessary security... this mission will only allow elite operators to lead the team."

Regardless of the meeting at Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit was indeed troubled, just as Amiya and Theresa had thought, because she found that fooling Mei Xue was a long and arduous task, after all, this little fox had become cunning.

To be fair, taking Mei Xue away now is a very risky thing. Last time, Kal'tsit was able to take him away only because Da Yan mistakenly thought that Mei Xue was still asleep. They did not know Mei Xue's exact location until later when they realized that something was wrong.

However, now that the Great Yan has found him, and even intends to bring him back, Kal'tsit has to think deeply about what they are thinking. Her spies and former friends in the Great Yan have not yet sent any messages, which means that they are also unaware of this matter.

Putting aside the Great Yan, Mei Xue is now impervious to both soft and hard tactics. She can't win an argument with her, nor can she resort to violence, which is very frustrating. Kal'tsit is so frustrated that she wishes she could put a sack over him and carry him away.

"No... perhaps there are other ways."

Kal'tsit stroked her chin. She had considered secretly helping W and Ines kidnap Mei Xue and then intercepting her on the way. That way, she could shift the blame to Theresis. However, the risk was a bit high. After all, the old friends of Babel knew that W was a cunning and ruthless guy.

However, the flash of inspiration just now gave Kal'tsit another idea, because she remembered that Rhodes Island learned that Mei Xue was in Lungmen from Talulah, and the little fox's relationship with the Reunion Movement seemed to be very unusual.

"I remember the Reunion Movement is from the Ursus Tundra... Wait a minute, based on this analysis, Mei Xue was picked up by Reunion?"

Kal'tsit felt she had grasped the crux of the problem. The Reunion Movement seemed to be just an excuse to fool the little fox. As for the Great Yan... to be honest, Kal'tsit felt that they probably wanted to protect Mei Xue more than make a wish.

Since Mei Xue has been safe since last night, without suffering any harm or having much contact with anyone, it seems that Da Yan also knows that he must not resort to force.

Or perhaps the Great Yan itself cares more about Mei Xue's attitude, after all, regardless of seniority, achievements, or even abilities, Mei Xue is an extremely special existence to the Great Yan.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, as long as Mei Xue is willing to follow Kal'tsit, then no one can directly stop her. Hmm... the Reunion Movement is a good excuse. They not only have a very close cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island, but are also like-minded partners.

With these considerations in mind, Rhodes Island could develop a talent development plan for the Reunion Movement, providing them with more outstanding individuals. Adding a little fox to the list would be a good option.

Mei Xue, who was at home, suddenly sneezed. She accidentally sneezed too hard, and a whole bag of fresh milk spilled all over her. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

However, when he went into the bathroom to take a shower, he glanced at himself in the mirror and realized that he was now covered in white, just like Lily of the Valley and Rosemary.

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

"Ah..."

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection between the siblings, but Talulah, far away in the integration, also sneezed, scratched her head, and knocked the green leaves off her head.

Walking through the streets of Chernobog, the peaceful surroundings made Talulah even begin to doubt whether this world was just a dream. But the Originium crystals within her told her that it was all real, only that behind this magnificent city lay too much darkness that people could not see, and there was too much injustice outside this city.

Some sit atop a hundred-meter-high building, sipping red wine and overlooking the masses, indulging in a life of extravagance and debauchery; others lie curled up in the endless wilderness, awaiting death, their bodies left to rot in the desolate landscape.

"This may be reasonable, but it should never be."
