Chapter 528

As she spoke, Mei Xue slightly adjusted her posture, turning to face Talulah directly. This was one of the rare times Mei Xue had faced Talulah's sleeping face directly.
As expected of a married couple, Talulah slept as peacefully as Meixue, with the little fox's tail thoughtfully wrapped around her body to prevent her from falling off the bed in the middle of the night.
Looking at Talulah's face, Mei Xue quietly waited for time to pass. Every second felt so long, as if tonight's history was comparable to all the lives he had ever lived. Was this what marriage felt like? Mei Xue thought, perhaps it was.
He didn't understand, but there was one thing he was certain of: he must deeply love the person in front of him.
(Sister, why do you always have to leave every now and then? Can't you stay by my side forever?)
(Mei, sweetie, I have to leave you because I have things to do, but you see, I always come back, don't I?)
The past events were vivid in his mind, but the person who said those words to Mei Xue would never come back. The little fox knew this very well, so there was always a piece missing in his heart. He simply reached out and hugged Talulah's waist.
He knew that sooner or later Talulah would leave him just like Su Xue'er, and that was undeniable. If it were before, Mei Xue would definitely feel uncomfortable, but now the little fox was just happy, because the day of separation would always come, and before that, they would always be together, just like Su Xue'er said.
However, apart from Mei Xue, many other people couldn't sleep tonight. Miss Doctor looked out the window and saw that Lungmen, which was once known as the city that never sleeps, had dimmed and lost its former glory.
This would have been impossible before; cities never get this dark at night, let alone an important economic center like Longmen.
"PRTS, what are the test results?"
"Three minutes ago, a special spacetime anomaly occurred, and all Lungmen citizens were transferred to an unknown world, but the Rhodes Island personnel showed no abnormalities, just as you predicted."
A gentle voice from PRTS came from the electronic screen next to her. The doctor nodded; this was indeed something she had expected.
As the doctor knows, although this world is much better than the original Terra world, it is still far from the new world that Mei Xue envisions. The little fox is just using this gap between the old and new worlds as a test site to adjust the new world and make it easier to carry out maintenance. Once the maintenance is completed, this small world will no longer have any reason to exist.
So now, apart from those Mei Xue wanted to stay, everyone else has been sent to a truly new world by the little fox. Without people, Dragon Gate naturally becomes dim. Perhaps the next day, when everyone opens their doors, they will go to the place Mei Xue prepared for this wedding.
"Since we're all witnessing this wedding, PRTS, you are too. Did you receive Mei Xue's invitation?"
"...At noon yesterday, the system received an unnamed email."
"That's right. Let's go together then. Even if we can't take your main computer with us, we can at least bring a camera."
The doctor didn't think PRTS needed to worry too much about not reporting the emails it received. It was a good thing that the child was growing up and had his own ideas. Besides, she, Precys, and Meixue had never regarded PRTS as a simple artificial intelligence.
"Alright, Doctor, should we tell Ms. Kal'tsit about this?"
"No need. Let everyone get a good night's sleep. They've been busy for a long time preparing for tomorrow."
Why didn't you stop them?
PRTS was a little confused. Although her logical system was close to that of a human, she had not really become a human. She still habitually used data analysis to think.
According to the data analysis, if this wedding robbery battle breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous, and it might even upset Mei Xue.
"Don't worry, PRTS. I know Mei Xue. He won't get angry about something like this. In fact, he's definitely prepared or ready to accept this group of boisterous girls."
"And you should trust us a little more. They're just unhappy that they're lagging behind Talulah. It's not that they don't acknowledge Talulah's status, nor is it simply that they oppose the marriage. It's just jealousy. Women's jealousy is still very strong."
"They were also worried that their actions would displease Mei Xue, and no one wanted to lower their favorability in the little fox's heart."
It has to be said that Miss Doctor really sees everything very clearly, including Mei Xue's plans and the thoughts of the girls on Rhodes Island.
"So, for everyone, this incident is less about a wedding robbery and more about...emmm, a rather lively wedding prank. That's what most people think, except for Skadi and Rosemary."
Why exclude operators like Rosemary and Skadi?
"The reason is simple: Skadi is rather naive, and Rosemary is quite possessive. These two won't simply treat this wedding robbery as a joke; they'll take it very seriously."
Thinking it over, Miss Doctor was certain that if the wedding were to take place tomorrow, someone would definitely subdue Skadi and Rosemary, who either believed it or had extreme personalities, before they could make their move.
So what was the purpose of this wedding prank? It's not hard to guess.
"Doctor, would you like to change your clothes?"
"Yes, how can you not wear your best clothes to someone else's wedding? I guess everyone does the same."
As she spoke, the young lady couldn't help but laugh when she thought about the scene.
New World 52. Is this a wedding kidnapping or a war?
"Are you ready?"
Early in the morning, the girls of Rhodes Island checked their weapons and equipment, preparing to attend a wedding, although their formation looked more like they were going to war than to a wedding.
"Ready!"
When Rosemary said this, the surrounding air pressure instantly froze, causing Saria, who was standing next to her, to stand a little further away with Ifrit. The little cat's mental state was somewhat off, making it hard not to suspect that after catching Meixue, she might choose to lock the little fox in a dark room in the basement or something, imprisoning Meixue and doing this and that to her.
Of course, given Mei Xue's current abilities, it's highly unlikely that Rosemary will be able to physically bully the little fox as easily as before.
The Doctor stood at the very front, with Priscilla and Theresa on her left and Kal'tsit and Amiya on her right, and she was holding a large megaphone in her hand.
Perhaps feeling the need to lighten the mood, Ms. Doctor raised her megaphone.
Our goal is!
"Rob the bride! Rob Mei Xue! Marry Mei Xue!"
As lively and fun-loving people, Blaze and Exusiai shouted without hesitation. However, girls with a more aloof or shy personality, like Surtr and Angelina, were too embarrassed to shout it out, even though they were also eager to join the fight.
No, perhaps it's more accurate to call it a farce, a farce that simply made Mei Xue's wedding more interesting and unforgettable. Therefore, although they brought weapons, the Rhodes Island girls didn't wear their usual outer gear; instead, they...
"Good heavens! You're all wearing wedding dresses too!?"
Exusiai, who thought she was thick-skinned enough, looked at her best friends around her and finally realized that they weren't there to prank a bride or attend a wedding. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were all getting married. Except for Lappland, who was dressed in a priest-like suit, the rest of the boys were dressed in white. Wait, Ansel, why are you wearing a wedding dress? Are you coming too?
"That's very simple. Look at the invitation in your hand."
Surtr pointed to the wedding invitation in Exusiai's hand. She wasn't wearing a wedding dress today, but this white gown was almost as good as one. It was supposedly designed by an unknown designer, which made Miss Saga next door, who wore the same dress all year round, extremely envious.
"Invitation letter..."
Exusiai picked up the invitation in her hand and glanced at it. She hadn't looked at it too carefully before because Mei Xue's invitation didn't specify the wedding location.
"...emmmm, Sister Aneng, it's perfectly normal to come to my wedding, wear your best clothes, and look your best, isn't it?"
"Yes, we wear the best clothes, don't we?"
Upon hearing Mostima's words, Exusiai's mind quickly processed what she was thinking. Wow, she could actually interpret it that way? Impressive.
"And, Xiao Le, didn't you notice?"
Remien smiled warmly, perhaps thinking of something too happy, and couldn't help but cover her mouth to avoid laughing too arrogantly.
"What did you find?"
"Mei Xue only said he was getting married, but did he say who he was going to marry?"
"..."
In an instant, the atmosphere that the Doctor had just stirred up froze. Apart from the Doctor and Surtr, who had noticed this as well as Remien, Rosemary and Witch instinctively looked at Lily of the Valley standing in the middle, who was shyly touching her face.
"Actually... I feel this is Mei Xue's problem. He probably doesn't know how to write a wedding invitation, and then... he used the wrong template when copying it."
Upon hearing this explanation, the girls from Rhodes Island immediately showed expressions of "I see" and "I knew it." This sounded like something Mei Xue would do. After all, she was a little fox, and it was surprisingly acceptable for her to occasionally make a foolish mistake.
However, it must be said that Mei Xue's small mistake gave everyone a chance. If Talulah had checked the wedding invitations, she wouldn't have let this loophole remain. But she thought Mei Xue had written the wedding location in the invitation, so she didn't think to open it at all. Moreover, although the invitations that Little Fox wrote for everyone were all based on the same template, there were some differences. For example, Alina's invitation was written with Talulah as the inviter.
Well, since Mei Xue didn't clearly state who the female lead was at this wedding, there's no need to say anything more; everyone understands.
However, Exusiai looked around and noticed that there seemed to be some people who weren't wearing formal attire, such as Chen Huijie. Even though it was her day off, she was still wearing the uniform she wore when she worked at the Guard Bureau. Hoshiguma and Swire next to her were in the same situation.
"Hey Chen sir, Talulah is your sister, after all. Why didn't you change into a dress for her wedding instead of wearing your uniform?"
"Because this is my responsibility as Senior Superintendent Jane, head of the Special Operations Unit of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. Any crime will eventually be brought to justice!"
As she said this, Exusiai felt as if a light suddenly appeared behind Chen Huijie, even more dazzling than her halo. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and then instantly understood Chen Huijie's plan. Good heavens, was she planning to sacrifice her own family for the greater good?!
"Lily of the Valley, this outfit of yours..."
Although they are all formal dresses and wedding gowns, each one has its own unique characteristics because of their different hometowns.
However unique it may be, it is still recognizable as a wedding dress, but Lily of the Valley's outfit looks more like a shrine maiden's attire.
"There's no way around it, all my clothes need to be custom-made. My mother said she would sew a white kimono for me by hand before my wedding, but there's not enough time now, so I can only wear this one."
Lily answered Ifrit's question with a smile, but her traditional Eastern attire was quite suitable and looked very comfortable. On the other hand, Even in a wedding dress, Ifrit couldn't hide her enthusiasm and straightforwardness.
"Hey, Ziyue, will Xiaoke really be able to eat his fill at the wedding?"
Reaching out and tugging at her best friend's clothes, Xiao Ke's eyes were filled with longing for a full stomach. Apart from Dr. and Precys, she was the least interested in this wedding farce. But when she heard that she could eat as much as she wanted, Xiao Ke actually managed to resist breaking into Rhodes Island's food warehouse last night.
"Don't worry, there's plenty, but remember to help me snatch Dad away!"
"it is good!"
Listening to Ziyue and Xiaoke's undisguised conspiracy, everyone couldn't help but laugh. They looked at each other knowingly, clearly knowing how the wedding would end, but so what?
Mei Xue was happy to let off some steam and liven up the wedding, as long as everything was kept within reasonable limits. The little fox loved excitement.
To say that Mei Xue didn't notice their actions would be a lie. Nothing in this world can escape Mei Xue's eyes. Whenever Mei Xue is mentioned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and no matter how far apart they are, Mei Xue can always sense it. Even if Mei Xue's name is not mentioned, as long as the matter is related to Mei Xue, the little fox can sense it.
However, Mei Xue did not express any dissatisfaction, so it can be considered as tacit agreement.
When Exusiai, Chen Huijie, and the others woke up this morning, they discovered that there was no one else in this world besides them. Whether it was Lungmen or any other city, all the uninvited people had been sent on the train to the new world by Mei Xue. They were just waiting for the wedding to end so that the new world and the old world could complete their final connection and everything would have a wonderful ending.
"Speaking of which, why didn't we see Cecilia and Felia? They couldn't have been left out, could they?"
Felia is alright, since everyone on Rhodes Island doesn't know about her current relationship with Meixue. But everyone knows Cecilia very well. That cute little angel would never refuse Meixue's invitation to the wedding. In fact, Cecilia might be the first person to receive a wedding invitation.
"In that case, Cecilia was probably taken to the wedding venue when she woke up. If I'm not mistaken, she should be a flower girl, while Aunt Felia will be helping Miss Talulah with her preparations."
"...How did you know?"
Although Suzuran used words like "maybe" and "probably" when she spoke, everyone felt that it was indeed what she said, which seemed a bit off.
“A part of Sister Su Xue’er is still inside my body. Apart from Sister Doctor and Sister Precys, there should be no one in this world who understands Brother Mei Xue better than Sister Su Xue’er.”
Now that Su Xue'er is completely dead, the part of her in Linglan's body is nothing more than a fragment. Saying Su Xue'er's name directly will not cause her to die suddenly like the Great Emperor did before. Besides, even if Linglan herself is Su Xue'er's host, she wouldn't be afraid to say it directly in the past.
Now, Little Lily of the Valley felt Rosemary casting a jealous glance at her again. The little cat was holding her notebook, which was originally prepared so that she could remember certain things more clearly. However, in the new world, Mei Xue helped her heal her past wounds, and the little cat now carried the notebook simply out of habit. But the notebook also had another use: holding grudges.
So Lily of the Valley watched as Rosemary wrote her down in her little notebook. The little cat used this method to vent her inner dissatisfaction, and she always wrote it in front of people, because Amiya said that writing and discussing other people's faults behind their backs was a bad thing.
"Alright, alright, ten more minutes. Everyone, do a final check to make sure you have everything."
The departure time was approaching. Miss Doctor knew that Mei Xue would definitely find a way to get everyone there, so there was no need to deliberately guess where the little fox would choose for the wedding. Besides, even if she had to guess, she had already guessed it.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, everyone checked their staffs, swords, bows and crossbows, shields, guns, ammunition, explosives, and rocket launchers. Okay, is this really not a war?
"Since no one has forgotten anything at home, let's go! Our destination: Shelag!"
When they heard that the target location was Shelag, everyone was stunned. Then, the next moment, they all had an expression that said, "It's actually here, but it seems like there's nothing to complain about." They all took out their communicators and quickly sent messages.
