But Fu Xuan held on quite tightly; at least with Selene's current strength, she had no chance of breaking free!
Just as Selene was resigned and about to give up, Fu Xuan suddenly let go.
Selene: Yay! She's finally not holding my Tail anymore!
Hearing her extremely happy inner thoughts, Fu Xuan's lips curled up slightly.
"Hmph! If This Meow (Stupid Cat) were to be ruined now, it wouldn't be fun later!"
...It was already ten o'clock at night when Selene was carried home by Fu Xuan.
For Selene, who had barely slept all day, all she wanted now was to collapse and sleep, not caring about anything!
But just as she ran to the sofa, before her eyes could even close, she heard Fu Xuan's murmur.
"Huh? Where did This Meow's slippers go? Didn't This Meow always keep them in the cabinet?"
Fu Xuan opened the shoe cabinet and found a pair of shoes missing, feeling a bit puzzled for a moment.
Hearing this, Selene instantly became nervous! She couldn't help but worry!
[Oh no! I took Grand Diviner's shoes this morning and forgot to put them back! What should I do?]
Fu Xuan: You continue, This Meow is listening.
[Ugh! If Grand Diviner finds out it was me, will she think of me as a perverted Little Kitten?!]
Fu Xuan: Aren't you just a perverted Little Kitten? But why did you take This Meow's shoes? And where did you hide This Meow's shoes?
[No way! This Meow's cat persona in Grand Diviner's heart absolutely cannot collapse! This Meow is a well-behaved Little Kitten! I have to let Grand Diviner discover her shoes herself!]
Selene thought this, jumped off the sofa, and then burrowed underneath the sofa.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan understood. So this Stupid Cat hid This Meow's cloth shoes under the sofa!
But as it turned out, Fu Xuan was mistaken. Selene went under the sofa only to take out the slippers from her system space and then place them under the sofa!
"Hmph! Trying to move This Meow's shoes somewhere else?! This Meow won't let you, this Stupid Cat, succeed!"
Fu Xuan thought this, took a few steps to the sofa, then squatted down, grasped the edge of the sofa with both hands, and lifted it up!
Selene: !!!
Her eyes widened. She never expected that Fu Xuan would directly lift the sofa!
But now was really not the time! Because at this moment, she was holding Fu Xuan's slippers in her mouth and hadn't had a chance to put them down yet!
Hmm? But why does This Meow smell a fragrance? Why is it somewhat similar to Fu Xuan Wife's scent?
...Fu Xuan supported the sofa with one hand and grabbed Selene by the scruff of her neck with the other, lifting her up!
Selene: Grand Diviner has such great strength!
"Hmph! Still not letting go? You perverted cat!"
Fu Xuan snorted and said irritably, emphasizing the word "perverted." There was no other reason; she just wanted to tease Selene.
Selene: Listen to me! This is a misunderstanding! I'm really not a perverted cat!
In the end, the Stupid Cat still didn't let go of the slippers in her mouth. Fu Xuan had to personally pry them out of the Stupid Cat's mouth!
As for why the Stupid Cat didn't let go? It was because she was held by the scruff of her neck by Fu Xuan, and the entire cat was as if under a paralyzing spell! She couldn't move at all! It was absolutely not because she couldn't bear to let go!
...Originally, Selene thought this matter was over, and she could finally sleep peacefully.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, the system's notification sound rang in her mind.
[Host, please accept a new mission!]
Selene: I want to sleep now... Can I not accept it? How about tomorrow?
[Rejection invalid! This mission needs to be completed by the Host within one hour!]
[Please, Host, in cat form, take Fu Xuan's dirty white pantyhose to wash and hang to dry! Completing the mission allows you to check Fu Xuan's favorability towards the Host on the system panel! If the mission fails, the Host will be unable to sleep tonight for various reasons!]
Selene: Alright, alright, alright! You're ruthless enough! But? Are Fu Xuan's socks dirty?
Puzzled, Selene looked up at Fu Xuan, who was still changing her shoes by the door.
And Fu Xuan was just taking off her socks at that moment. Selene happened to see that the soles of her socks were stained with dust at some point, turning the originally white socks black.
[It looks like she stepped in dirt somewhere, right? Why is Grand Diviner so careless?]
Hearing this inner thought, Fu Xuan glanced at Selene, noticing that Selene was also looking at herself... or rather, her socks!
"Sigh! This Meow is also very helpless! If it weren't for catching that Qingque fellow, why would This Meow step on the ground barefoot? Hmph! Ultimately, it's Qingque's fault!"
Fu Xuan thought this, put on a pair of slippers, and walked towards her Bedroom.
As for why she was going to the Bedroom, of course, it was to change out of her clothes and then take them, along with the pantyhose, to be washed clean!
After Fu Xuan entered the Bedroom, Selene immediately began to act! After all, if she missed such a good opportunity now, this mission might fail!
...Selene jumped off the sofa, landing on the floor with a "thump"!
She quickly ran to the door, looked at Fu Xuan's white pantyhose placed inside her short-heeled leather shoes, and tried to pick them up with her small paws.
However, the smooth paw pads on her cat paws prevented Selene from grabbing the socks.
Helpless, Selene had no choice but to extend her sharp little claws, use her claws to grab the socks, and then run towards the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Fu Xuan was in her room choosing clothes to wear for the evening, completely unaware of what a certain Stupid Cat was doing!
Selene arrived at the bathroom door, skillfully opened the bathroom door, then picked up a plastic basin with her mouth, and placed Fu Xuan's white socks into the basin.
[Ugh! It's really strange! Why did my paws have a faint fragrance just from touching Fu Xuan's socks with my paws? Did Fu Xuan spray perfume on herself?! Or... is that actually Grand Diviner's?!]
Selene sniffed her paws, wondering in her heart.
At this moment, in the Bedroom, Fu Xuan, who had just taken off her outer clothes, instantly widened her eyes!
"That Stupid Cat?! She wouldn't be doing something strange to This Meow's socks, would she?!"
Fu Xuan thought this, hurriedly put her clothes back on, and then prepared to open the Bedroom door and rush out to question Selene about what she was doing!
But soon, Fu Xuan calmed down!
She remembered that when Qingque avoided her while slacking off, she would judge her exact location by listening to her footsteps.
So? If she were to rush out now, would Selene instantly flee the scene of the crime?! In that case, wouldn't there be no evidence?!
