Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

"It's alright, it's just a small meeting. Miss Yulan can certainly stay." Himeko smiled gently, naturally allowing Yulan, who wanted to return to her room, to stay.

Watching Pam take small, quick steps, chatting with Xing and the others about their exploration trip and their next destination.

But fate always likes to play tricks on people.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time, fellow passengers of the Star Train."

The projection of an umbrella suddenly appeared not far away, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Even Xi Lan, who was standing to the side, was completely drawn to the scene.

The man slightly raised his umbrella, looking at everyone present with his captivating eyes.

"I am Kafka."

Until they saw Yuuran, who was being protected by Hoshino and Himeko, as well as Sangetsu no Naka de.

Her gaze lingered subtly on the unadorned neck for a moment before she casually looked away.

"It seems I arrived at a good time; everyone is here except for a little fox that wandered in."

Kafka's tone was tender, as if she were treating everyone with the same gentleness.

Xi Lan, who had been targeted, gritted her teeth and breathed heavily, looking as if she was about to explode in anger.

How dare you appear before me as if nothing happened?!

He even appeared right in front of Xing?!?!?! By what right?!

Was it because of those unspeakable fates again?!

The hand that was clenched into a fist was now held tightly by Xing, and they did not separate again as her gaze lingered on Kafka for a moment.

Chapter Ninety-One: Former Guardian and Current Guardian

Look, look.

Her own little fox was angry with her.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Kafka's eyes, but she forcibly suppressed it. When she raised her head again, she once again returned to that mysterious look.

Isn't this a good thing?

I have feelings for her, and I resent her.

Only in this way can you firmly remember yourself.

Kafka thought to herself.

It's much better than a scene where the person is completely calm and shows no emotion towards her.

Just imagining such a scene happening to her... it's truly heartbreaking and painful.

Although things aren't much better now.

The man walked up to them with a smile, and put away his umbrella as if nothing had happened.

"I need you to change the destination."

In fact, Yulan didn't pay much attention to what Kafka said next, since she was just suppressing her anger and didn't have time to care about what the other person was saying.

Even her fox ears drooped, as if she didn't want to listen to what this person was saying, and she didn't even bother to look at her.

But Xi Lan, who was all talk and no action, secretly perked up her fox ears slightly after hearing that Ren had been taken away by the Cloud Cavalry, in order to listen to what the other party was saying.

Xing, however, kept holding onto Xi Lan's hand and didn't let go.

But his eyes never left Kaffa, and he listened attentively to Kaffa's request to change their destination.

"Don't agree to everything that person says! Xing! Don't let a bad woman lead you astray!"

March 7th looked at the baseball bat hero beside her who couldn't help but nod, seemingly completely agreeing with Kafka, and couldn't resist shaking her shoulder.

"Sister Xilan, why don't you tell her something too!"

Xi Lan, who was eavesdropping, looked a little bewildered. She turned her head slightly and saw that she had been caught red-handed. She blinked awkwardly.

"...I didn't care about these things."

Although she said that, her tail, which was eager to betray her, started wagging again.

Under the gaze of these pairs of eyes, Xi Lan finally couldn't help but smack her lips and chose to look away.

Until the terminal in her pocket rang.

Xi Lan glanced at the caller's message, and her angry expression immediately turned into a hint of happiness.

She narrowed her eyes, no longer really caring what Kafka was saying.

"You two chat, I have some things to take care of here. Xing, let go of my hand first."

The person looking at her was completely ignored by this fox lady, who even acted as if he didn't exist at all.

After keeping her distance from the train group, Xi Lan happily looked at Ms. Emerald, who had freed her from that situation.

"Why did it take so long to answer this time? Are you busy?"

Having not seen Emerald for a long time, Xi Lan's smile carried a hint of genuine happiness, and even her tail began to wag wildly.

"I was just playing a little game with those kids. It was a bit noisy over there, so I found a quiet corner to get through."

Her eyes were filled with joy, and she felt happy and content with the care she received for her jade.

Although a shrewd adult like Emerald could sense that something might have happened on Xi Lan's side, she chose not to reveal it.

She only verbally reminded Xi Lan to keep warm on that cold planet and that she could return to her side anytime if she felt unwell.

Xi Lan nodded obediently in response, appearing completely like a well-behaved child in front of Emerald.

Xi Lan naturally ignored the stinging gaze that came from her.

What is Kafka compared to jade?

They were probably just passersby.

No, even if it's a stranger, Xi Lan will still politely greet them before leaving.

"Are you having a good time on vacation? Do you need me to send you any more little things?"

Jade finally found some time to chat with Xilan, and naturally wanted to talk for a while to temporarily escape the work she had to face.

"No need. Although it's quite cold in the outer city of Belleburg, the main city is very lively, which is quite nice."

"Besides, we don't know when the next train jump will be. I'll contact you when we get there." Xi Lan chuckled a few times, answering Emerald's question quite obediently.

Judging by the time, Ms. Himeko and the others should have finished their conversation by now, right?

Xi Lan glanced out of the corner of her eye at the scene where the conversation had almost ended, and saw Xiao Sanyue looking aggrieved but still encouraging.

Add to that Mr. Walter's relaxed air of finally being able to leave.

It's likely that they agreed to Kafka's request to change the destination.

She was never a member of the Star Train; she was just a temporary passenger who could get off at any time.

As for the destination, anywhere is fine.

"Has something interesting happened over there? I can tell you're quite interested in that area."

Emerald rested her chin on her hand, looking at Xi Lan's still somewhat chubby cheeks, and she missed the time when Qing could touch her with her own hands.

Unfortunately, Shi Xin and the other ten people had too much work to do... Even if she wanted to visit Xi Lan, she couldn't find the time.

"They've probably decided on their next goal. It's quite intriguing. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of leap before."

Her eyes sparkled, and she seemed particularly curious and excited about this kind of thing.

Emerald simply chuckled a few times, her eyes filled with gentle emotion as she looked at Xi Lan, who was unusually childlike in front of her.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to let my little fox go out and explore.

But the awkward possessiveness in her heart was simply that she wanted Xi Lan to stay by her side and not be allowed to go anywhere else.

This complex feeling made Jade feel somewhat irritable.

Then I picked out a book from the library, such as "One Hundred Good Ways to Raise Children" and "How to Make Children Understand Mommy's Feelings," but in the end I compromised.

Xi Lan was given a vacation for a period of time.

Then, you should contact her every now and then to try to make your presence known.

Although that's what the book says, it's actually quite simple to do.

Because Xi Lan had completely trusted her, there was almost nothing she was hiding from her.

"Um?"

As if she had heard something, Xi Lan turned her head slightly, and all the lights in the carriage went out at the same time.

"I don't know why the little gift I gave you isn't on you..."

Kafka, who was originally standing far away, somehow appeared next to Yulan in the blink of an eye using some kind of technology.

She naturally saw who the little fox was talking to on the communication terminal in its hand.

"Thank you so much, Ms. Emerald from the company, for signing for Little Fox's package ahead of time. If I were her parent, I wouldn't have done that."

“Of course you won’t be polite, Ms. Star Core Hunter Kafka. My child needs at least a gift from a wanted criminal.”

"Moreover, I am now Xilan's guardian."

Jade wasn't stupid; of course she knew what Kafka meant by saying all this.

But now he just smiled and retorted.

"It would be best to go back to where you came from as soon as possible."

But then, with just a snap of his fingers, the communication session was abruptly shut down for some unknown reason.
