Thinking of this, Fu Xuan couldn't help but slow her pace, not even putting on her shoes. She walked barefoot on the floor, slowly heading towards the door.
Fu Xuan gently opened the door, then slowly walked out, peeking her head towards the shoe cabinet.
However, there was no sign of the Stupid Cat at the shoe cabinet by the door; only the socks Fu Xuan had placed inside her small leather shoes were gone.
"Hmm! That Stupid Cat? Is she really that fond of my socks? Didn't she suspect yesterday that I had smelly feet?"
As Fu Xuan was thinking, she suddenly heard the sound of running water coming from the direction of the bathroom, followed by the sound of water being splashed by something!
Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly; she sensed that something was amiss... Fu Xuan, still barefoot, quietly walked to the bathroom door and peered inside.
Inside the bathroom, a chubby little figure was sitting on the floor. In front of her was a plastic basin filled with hot water and Fu Xuan's missing white pantyhose.
The little figure was using her two fleshy paws to stomp on the socks in the basin, her Tail wagging slowly behind her, indicating that she was in a good mood!
Fu Xuan: So? She took my socks? Does she want to wash them for me?
It seems I misunderstood her! Huh? Wait a minute! How did she open the cap of the laundry detergent?!
Seeing the opened laundry detergent next to Selene, Fu Xuan was startled and quickly went in to pick Selene up!
Selene: Oh! This familiar feeling again! Relax! At times like these, dizziness is normal!
But at this moment, Fu Xuan couldn't care less. She quickly washed the white foam from Selene's paws!
Although she was a first-time cat owner with no experience, she knew without thinking that if Selene accidentally ingested the laundry detergent, she might end up dead tonight!
...After washing Selene's paws clean and drying them, Fu Xuan threw her out of the bathroom.
Selene: ...[It is with regret that the Host is informed: Mission failed!]
"Wait! You can't blame me! Fu Xuan interfered! What could I do?! I clearly washed them clean! All that was left was to hang them to dry! I protest!"
The system was silent for a while, seemingly agreeing that Selene had a point.
[Well then... How about I still give you the reward? But the punishment has already been issued, and it cannot be retracted.]
Selene: Let me tell you, thank you, because of you, I'm not going to sleep tonight!
At the same time, Fu Xuan in the bathroom was rubbing her socks with her fair, delicate hands, mumbling to herself... "That Stupid Cat, she can't really think that just by patting a few times with her paws, they'll get clean, can she?! What an idiot! Hmph!"
Although Diviner Fu kept complaining, the faint smile on her lips betrayed her true feelings!
...A few minutes later, Selene saw Fu Xuan emerge with the clean socks.
Fu Xuan merely glanced at Selene, then turned and went to the balcony.
After that, Fu Xuan changed her clothes and prepared to rest.
However, before going to sleep, Fu Xuan suddenly remembered something!
That was, she now had an additional identity: "cat litter scooper"!
"Hmm... I just set up the cat litter yesterday, so I should definitely scoop it today. I saw people online saying that scooping cat litter is like digging for treasure, especially interesting! I wonder if it's true!"
Fu Xuan murmured, holding the small scoop she bought yesterday, and walked to the cat litter box.
This scene was naturally observed by Selene, but she knew that Fu Xuan would only be wasting her effort, because she hadn't used the litter box at all!
As a clever cat, Selene would open the bathroom door herself, take care of business, and flush! Preventing her cat litter scooper from ever experiencing the joy of "treasure hunting" again!
...Fu Xuan dug with the small scoop for a while, but didn't find any "treasure"!
For a moment, she was stunned, looking at Selene with confusion, wondering if this Little one was sick?
But soon, this thought was negated by Selene's inner voice! From her inner voice, Fu Xuan learned that Selene would go to the bathroom herself to relieve herself, and even flush!
This left Fu Xuan shocked! She didn't expect this Stupid Cat to actually use the bathroom to take care of business?!
Doesn't that mean... the forty pounds of cat litter she bought yesterday were a waste? She even carried it back herself!
Thinking of this, Fu Xuan couldn't help but get a little angry! She raised her hand and gave Selene a tap on the head!
Selene: ??? Why are you hitting me again?
Fu Xuan: Hmph!
...After petting the cat for a while, Fu Xuan returned to her Bedroom, locked the door, and prepared to sleep.
Upon hearing the sound of the door locking, Selene also snorted disdainfully.
"You wouldn't think? That This Meow would still want to sleep in your room tonight, would you?! Hmph hmph, This Meow has no such intention! And locking the door! Pfft!"
[Host, please accept the mission! As a clever cat, even a locked door can be opened by you! In cat form, please open the Bedroom door and sleep in Fu Xuan's bed! Mission complete: gain one hour of human form duration. Mission failed: Host will have her Tail petted by Qing Que for a whole day tomorrow!]
Selene: I'm going to... "Meow~ (Sob sob, Grand Diviner, open the door quickly! QWQ)"
Fu Xuan: Hmph! Didn't you just say in your heart that you wouldn't sleep in my room? How did you change your mind so quickly?
"Meow~ (Please let This Meow in! My dear Grand Diviner!)"
Fu Xuan: Hmph! I can't hear you, I can't hear you! I'm sleeping!
Fu Xuan thought this, pulled the covers over her head, and prepared to sleep.
Selene, who had been meowing outside for a while without a response, also felt a dryness in her throat.
But she was certain that Fu Xuan wasn't asleep at all; she was deliberately refusing to open the door for her!
"Hmph! Grand Diviner! You're forcing This Meow's hand!"
Selene thought to herself, then extended her small paw... Meanwhile, inside the Bedroom, Fu Xuan was still wondering if this Little one was going to use some special method to open the door.
But the result was that she heard a "scratching" sound! Like something sharp was scratching on the door!
The sound wasn't loud, but when heard, it was like a cat's claws scratching, sending shivers down one's spine!
The moment Fu Xuan heard this sound, she frowned. This Little one! She was actually scratching the door with her paws! How annoying!
"If you scratch the door again! Don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
Fu Xuan threatened...
