Helpless, Selene could only look at Fu Xuan with pitiful eyes, her meaning self-evident.
"Hm? Why are you looking at This Meow? Didn't you peel it yourself yesterday? Could it be that you want This Meow to help you?"
Fu Xuan chuckled lightly.
"Meow! (I need it!)"
Fu Xuan: This isn't right, is it? Shouldn't this Stupid Cat's answer be 'I don't need it'?
"Hmph! Peel it yourself! This Meow still has some things to be busy with. Anyway, you know how to peel it, don't you?"
Fu Xuan smirked, then turned and walked into the bathroom. The 'things' she mentioned were actually just washing up.
Watching Fu Xuan leave, Selene was utterly furious!
She had figured it out; Fu Xuan was deliberately bullying her!
Fu Xuan: Hmph! This Meow is doing it on purpose! You're just a Little Cat, you can't possibly 'eat' This Meow, can you?!
...Selene looked at the egg on the table and nudged it onto the floor with her paw.
With a "crack," the eggshell instantly shattered!
Seeing this, Selene held the egg steady with one small paw, while the other paw began to peel the broken shell.
But it wasn't simple. Either the eggshell wouldn't come off, or the egg white inside would be gouged out along with it!
This led to Selene peeling the eggshell while licking the egg white stuck to her paws.
And her adorable appearance was seen clearly by Fu Xuan, who stood at the bathroom door, toothbrush in hand.
"What a cute Stupid Cat... but? The way she's peeling the shell seems a bit off?"
Fu Xuan murmured softly.
The reason she said this was because the shell Selene peeled yesterday wasn't broken into tiny pieces like this, but rather in large chunks.
It looked relatively intact, and there were no signs of damage to the egg white inside.
But the shells Selene was peeling today were all broken into small pieces, and many of them had a bit of egg white stuck to them... "Hm? This difference is too great, isn't it?"
Fu Xuan complained softly, but she didn't think too deeply about it, only assuming that Selene, the Stupid Cat, had made a mistake...
Ten minutes later, Fu Xuan took Selene out the door and boarded a star-skiff bound for Aurum Alley.
In a sense, this was actually Selene's second time riding a star-skiff.
The first time was from Tranquility Garden, taking a star-skiff to the Divination Commission.
As for when Fu Xuan took her to the Alchemy Commission before, she was unconscious then, so it didn't count.
Aurum Alley wasn't far from the Divination Commission, so it didn't take much time to reach Aurum Alley by star-skiff...
"Meow! (So many people?!)"
Selene exclaimed.
"Naturally. It's a holiday now, so it's normal for many people to come here to play."
Fu Xuan stroked Selene's head, explaining.
"Come, This Meow will take you to eat something delicious."
Fu Xuan said, carrying Selene towards a snack stall, a smile also gracing her face at this moment...
"Aunt Gao, business must be very good today!"
Arriving at the snack stall, Fu Xuan greeted the stall owner.
"Oh? It's Fu Xuan! I haven't seen you in a while! There's still an empty seat over there, go sit down quickly!"
Aunt Gao smiled when she saw Fu Xuan, then pointed to the empty seat beside them.
Fu Xuan nodded, carrying Selene and sitting down in the empty seat.
They were quite lucky; this was the only remaining seat at Aunt Gao's stall, which showed how booming her business was.
From their conversation, Selene could also tell that Fu Xuan and Aunt Gao must be quite familiar with each other.
After all, Aunt Gao's way of addressing Fu Xuan didn't include the title of Grand Diviner.
"[But? Fu Xuan calls her Aunt Gao? Is her age older than Fu Xuan's?]"
Fu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly as she heard Selene's thoughts.
"Hmph! This Meow calls her 'Aunt' simply because everyone who knows her calls her that! It's not because her age is older than This Meow's!"
Soon, Aunt Gao came over and asked Fu Xuan what snacks she needed.
"This Meow will have one xinglu ambrosial ice, two hot floating goat milks, one momo roll, and one qiong shi bird skewer!"
Fu Xuan looked at the menu and ordered four snacks.
"Oh, right, This Meow also needs a bowl and plate, otherwise, this Little Cat might not be able to drink the goat milk."
Fu Xuan added.
Selene, suddenly mentioned by Fu Xuan, looked bewildered.
And Aunt Gao, seeing Selene's adorable and clueless expression, let out a "giggle!"
After watching Aunt Gao leave, Fu Xuan looked at Selene and asked, "Do you think? The things This Meow ordered are a bit too little, not enough for you to eat?"
Hearing this, Selene was startled! Good heavens! Could Fu Xuan have mind-reading abilities? How did she know what she was thinking?
"Hmph! Your little thoughts are all written on your cat face! It's not difficult for This Meow to guess!"
Fu Xuan huffed proudly.
Selene: Ah, this...
"There are still so many other snacks here, don't you want to try a few more?"
Fu Xuan retorted.
Hearing this, Selene's eyes instantly lit up!
She had thought they would only eat at this one place! From the looks of it, Fu Xuan was planning to take her to try all the food on this entire street!
Hearing Selene's thoughts, Fu Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
You're such a small cat, can you eat so much delicious food?! Don't burst your little tummy!
...A few minutes later, Aunt Gao came over with the four items Fu Xuan had ordered.
After setting down the food, Aunt Gao went back to being busy.
Fu Xuan picked up a small bowl from the tray and a bottle of hot floating goat milk.
After placing the small bowl in front of Selene, Fu Xuan opened the lid of the hot floating goat milk and poured all the milk into the small bowl.
"This is a specialty hot floating goat milk from the Xianzhou Alliance, also called Qingrou Milk."
"This type of goat milk is difficult to preserve, so it's hard to taste it in other regions!"
"When this goat milk is heated, it's very sweet without adding sugar, but it turns bitter when it cools down, so you have to drink it while it's hot!"
Fu Xuan introduced.
Upon hearing this, Selene couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, this goat milk is truly amazing! This Meow must savor it today!
"However, although this milk is naturally sweet, This Meow still likes to add a little sugar; it tastes even better that way. Do you want some?"
Fu Xuan said, taking out a jar of white sugar from somewhere and shaking it in front of Selene.
Seeing this jar of white sugar, Selene's eyes widened! Good heavens! Fu Xuan truly can't live without sugar, no matter where she goes!
"[If that's the case? What if I secretly steal the sugar she carries with her, and when she discovers the sugar is missing, will she cry and fuss in a panic?!]"
Selene thought to herself.
Fu Xuan: ??? Hmph! This Meow is not a child; how could I cry and fuss over a jar of white sugar?! You underestimate This Meow too much!
