Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Last time you lied to Dad and said you couldn't sleep alone, but didn't you actually know that he's hard to wake up once he's asleep?"

"And what about you? You said you were afraid of being bothered by Sui, but frankly, aren't you just thinking the same thing as me?"

Seeing his two younger sisters still arguing, Ling picked up his wine gourd, took a sip, and rested his chin on his hand on the table, listening to them expose each other's dirty secrets.

Actually, the time had already arrived when I was preparing dinner, but I had been hiding it very well, intending to see why Xi came to Longmen. I never expected to hear so many things that I had never known before.

Although she had known for a long time that her sisters had some ill intentions towards Mei Xue, she didn't expect them to have gone so far as to verbally attack her. However, it hadn't reached the final stage yet, which was alright, otherwise she would have had to turn against her own family today.

Of course, even if Nian and Xi only had a brief encounter, Ling didn't intend to let it go. Judging from this, it's hard to say whether the other sisters might have taken advantage of him while he was away.

"Do you believe I'll tell your sister all this?"

"I don't believe it. At worst, we'll die together."

Nian snorted coldly and met Xi's eyes. There seemed to be an electric spark between them. Just then, a hand wrapped with ribbons gently patted Nian's shoulder and handed her the wine gourd wrapped with dragons.

"Come on, Xiao Nian, stop arguing and have a sip of wine to soothe your throat."

"Ah, thank you, Sister Ling, I..."

Nian subconsciously thanked Ling and was about to take a sip of wine to continue arguing with Xi when she noticed that her eyes were filled with horror and fear. Nian immediately realized who was standing next to her.

"My God!"

"Yes, that's your mother."

Ling nodded at Nian with a kind smile on his face. Xi subconsciously took a few steps back to retreat, but was caught by Ling's tail.

"Xi Bao, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Shouldn't the family catch up together? Oh, by the way, where's your dad?"

"Sister Ling... I... I suddenly remembered that I haven't fed Ah Yao at home yet, so I won't bother you any longer."

"How come I didn't know your little pets needed to eat?"

Reaching out and grabbing Xi by the back of her neck, Ling's smile was full of tenderness, but this smile only made Xi and the others feel a chill down their spines, wishing they could find a time machine to crawl into.

"Sister Ling, when...did you arrive?"

"Actually, I haven't been here for very long."

Ling felt a little more relaxed, thinking that he probably hadn't heard everything they were arguing about, but even hearing just the last bit was enough to make them suffer.

Seeing that Nian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Ling's smile became even gentler and kinder.

"I've been here ever since you planned to put laxatives in that clear soup pot. Xi even planned to prepare some ice cream to throw into your pot."

"..."

Xi and Nian's eyes immediately lost their sparkle. They were doomed. Even if Mei Xue herself were here, she couldn't stop Ling from beating them. The psychological trauma of being hit on the palms with a ruler and on the buttocks with a bamboo pole when they were children resurfaced.

"Sister Ling, may I make a request before you take action?"

"Don't worry, I won't slap you in the face."

After Ling finished speaking, he raised his fist, and then a brutal one-sided beating ensued. Xi originally wanted to escape while Nian was being beaten, but Ling's tail wrapped around her waist and pulled her back. Anyway, tonight was destined to be a bloody and sleepless night.

As for Mei Xue, the little fox suddenly felt a little sorry for her, but didn't know why. She shook her head and continued feeding Chen Huijie dinner.

"Sister, come here, ah~"

"what……"

Chen Huijie opened her mouth and let Mei Xue put the spoon into her mouth. Then she ate the porridge and gently licked the spoon with the tip of her tongue.

"Meixue, you eat too."

Okay~ I'll eat too~

Mei Xue could eat a bowl of light lean meat porridge, but since it was dinner made for Chen Huijie, he only scooped up a little bit to eat and then continued to feed Chen Huijie.

"This is wonderful... I wish I could stay in bed and have you feed me forever."

This kind of life is really great. Mei Xue takes care of every aspect of the family, and Chen Huijie feels that she, as the older sister, is becoming a useless person.

"I feel like if this continues, I'll turn into a lazy bum who eats, sleeps, and does nothing."

Chen Huijie smiled helplessly, and Mei Xue also smiled, then took Chen Huijie's hand and gently rubbed it on her head.

"It's okay. Even if my sister really becomes a parasite, I will still take care of her for the rest of my life."

The little fox twitched its tail and smiled, the gentleness and determination in its eyes telling Chen Huijie that it was serious and not just saying those words to please her.

"..."

Mei Xue's words made Chen Huijie blush. If it weren't for the fact that she was still feeling unwell in her lower body and needed to rest, she would have definitely grabbed Mei Xue, pinned her to the bed, and done something that everyone knows.

There was no way around it; the little fox always managed to touch her heart without her even realizing it.

To prevent herself from doing something harmful if things continued like this, Chen Huijie quickly finished her meal and then pulled the blanket over herself.

"I'm full~"

"Okay, sister, go to sleep early~ You should be fine tomorrow."

"Then...can I have a kiss?"

"Okay~"

Mei Xue's ears swayed slightly back and forth, as if nodding in agreement. Mei Xue also simply put her arms around Chen Huijie's neck, kissed her forehead, and then picked up her bowl and chopsticks and left Chen Huijie's bedroom.

Watching the little fox close the door, Chen Huijie buried her head in the pillow, a happy smile on her lips. That's why she liked... no, why she fell in love with Mei Xue, and why she wanted to go to Rhodes Island with him. She didn't want to leave Mei Xue anymore, and she couldn't imagine such a life.

After leaving Chen Huijie's room, Mei Xue did not go directly to the kitchen to prepare to wash the dishes. Instead, she temporarily placed the dishes on the coffee table in the living room, turned around, walked to the toilet in the bathroom, and couldn't help but vomit.

Although the lean meat porridge was light enough, it was still unbearable for him. Mei Xue almost vomited the moment she ate it, but she forced herself to swallow it so that Chen Huijie would be happy.

This wasn't Chen Huijie's fault. She had always thought that Mei Xue didn't eat meat simply because she disliked meat, but she never expected that lean meat porridge would cause such a big reaction.

"Cough cough!"

She spat out the two apples she had eaten on the way back. Mei Xue took out a bottle of mouthwash from her tail, held it in her mouth, moved it around a little, and then spat it out. She repeated this until the whole bottle of mouthwash was used up.

"Hoo, ha..."

After wiping his mouth clean and throwing the empty bottle into the trash can, Mei Xue walked to the sink, picked up the brush, wiped his face, and looked up at himself in the mirror. For a moment, he noticed that the tail on his back had turned into five tails, but it seemed to be just his imagination.

"Wash the dishes, take a shower, and then go to bed."

The little fox cupped the corners of its mouth with both hands to make a smile, took a deep breath, and then turned around to continue its work.

However, Mei Xue in the mirror transformed into another reflection that resembled him in the illusion. It could only be Su Xue'er. She reached out and placed her hand on the mirror, her eyes filled with heartache and guilt. But Mei Xue couldn't hear what she was saying. She shook her head and disappeared into the mirror.

(If Lappland wants to stay, she can keep the Texas sisters company at Penguin Logistics. I'm not worried that the sisters will become busier after I leave.)

As Mei Xue, having regained her composure, washed the dishes, her mind still preoccupied with finding a good job for Lappland. However, she would still need to ask her sisters for help with her identity issue.

(And Swire, um... I have to leave her a gift, and Hoshiguma too.)

With his mind filled with thoughts of other people, Mei Xue couldn't help but laugh. Although he hadn't been in Longmen for long, he had met so many good people. Just like what Sister Alina said, not everyone is born thinking of hurting others.

People's character is influenced by their environment. If everyone could have enough to eat and wear, then no one would think of hurting others, right? Even if there were arguments and conflicts, it would be a much better world than it is now.

With this in mind, Mei Xue put away the bowls and chopsticks, then picked up the Chi Xiao sword she had used to chop vegetables, took out a clean silk cloth from its tail, and wiped off the oil stains, scallions, ginger, and garlic from her body. The little fox nodded as she listened to the Chi Xiao sword's chime.

"I should be thanking you. You have to protect my sister for me from now on..."

[I've decided, your name will be... Tongtianjing (Sky-Reaching Mirror). It sounds like a really old-fashioned name, but from now on, you'll protect my sister for me~]

Mei Xue nearly dropped the Crimson Sky Sword, but thankfully she reacted quickly, patted her head to temporarily clear her mind of her complicated thoughts, and gently kissed the hilt of the Crimson Sky Sword.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Please help my sister in the future too."

Mei Xue sheathed Chi Xiao and hung it back on the wall. Then she went into the bathroom to take a bath and relax. Meanwhile, Ling Lan and Rosemary, who had come to look for her during the day but couldn't find her, were feeling anxious, especially after learning that she and the little fox had just missed each other that morning.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and Huang won't let me go out... What should I do?"

"I don't know either. My brother hasn't replied to my messages. He's probably asleep."

Lily of the Valley and Rosemary are in a predicament. They had planned to discuss their plans for the island with Mei Xue, but it seems that's not an option for now.

Fortunately, Suzuran and Meixue are online friends, otherwise it would have been terrible. You know, there's a real demon king waiting for him on Rhodes Island, or rather, two of them would be more appropriate? Because Amiya and Theresa are tied together.

Chapter 150 Turbid Heart Skadi Takes a Detour to Steal the House

In Victoria's Royal Hospital, Therese, who had just been hit by a cannonball, wouldn't have needed to stay in the hospital for long. Then, she was unlucky enough to be hit by a collapsing building. Logically, the cannonball should have caused the most damage, but who knew that the building would hit her on the head?

"My horn..."

Looking at her broken left horn in the mirror, Therese couldn't say she was depressed; she just wished it were all a dream. The horn had a huge impact on the Sarkaz, and it was linked to their status and even their strength.

Unlike other races, the Sarkaz have a large number of nerves in their horns, which are highly sensitive and can even be used to assist in the use of Originium Arts and other spells. Now that a small part of it has been inexplicably severed, Theresis is filled with hatred.

"Ugh, what bad luck."

Seeing the helpless Therese, General Manfred couldn't help but feel that his superior was really unlucky. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't hard to understand; this was usually the fate of those cursed by Mei Xue.

When the Blood Demon Lord heard that Theresis was being targeted by Mei Xue again, he lost his appetite and is now depressed at home.

"Your Highness, perhaps..."

"what?"

"...I mean, how about we just use glue to stick it on?"

As Manfred spoke, he took out a bottle of "Super Strong Never-Falling Adhesive" from his pocket. Looking at the words "For Shoe Repair Hooks" on it, Therese fell into deep worry. Then, looking at herself in the mirror, she nodded helplessly.

There was no other way. If people knew that his Theresis horn was broken off like that, he would definitely become a laughing stock among the Sarkaz, which would be too detrimental to his image. He didn't want to become a laughing stock.

In the end, Therese chose to compromise with reality and glued his horn back on. To help the glue dry faster, Manfred thoughtfully turned on the overhead fan for him.

Then, to their bewilderment, the overhead fan whirred and spun faster and faster until… just as everyone who has ever sat in a classroom with a fan imagined, it fell down… and so, another tragedy ensued.

When the electric fan slammed into Theresis's horn, only one thought remained in his mind: Damn it, Garson, when are you going to bring him back to me?!

However, Garsen could no longer answer his question; he could no longer.

Garson died suddenly. He was about to make his regular contact with Theresis after finishing his meal when he was suddenly blown out by a grenade from W. When he tried to cause trouble for W, he was met by M3 and Margaret, who were waiting for him, and they beat him up.

Shining is a good person. To prevent the Sarkaz mercenaries from witnessing their captain's miserable state, she gently slept them one by one with her staff. The innocent and kind-hearted Liz felt sorry for Garson's terrible condition, so while Nearl and M3 were beating him up, she also took care of treating Garson's injuries and giving him a chance to breathe. As for the injury on Garson's head? That was caused by Liz's staff hitting itself, and it had nothing to do with her.

In the end, it was Hedley's kind heart that prevented him from seeing the captain, whom Theresis had sent to monitor him, suffer such a fate, and he ended Garson's suffering with a single blow.

"Oh, poor Garsen... W, what are you doing?"

"I'll find a stereo and play a funeral song for him."
