"Don't worry, I am fine. If you are hungry, go out and buy some food. I'll sleep a little longer," Fu Xuan said softly.
Although Fu Xuan said she was fine, Selene could tell from her voice that she was very weak.
But from Fu Xuan's demeanor, she wasn't going to tell her the reason!
Helplessly, so as not to disturb Fu Xuan's rest, Selene left the Bedroom and went into the living room.
And Fu Xuan in the Bedroom, seeing Selene leave, frowned again, reaching up to her forehead, enduring the pain that spread throughout her body!
Under this pain, Fu Xuan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her frown deepened.
For Fu Xuan, this was a pain she endured every so often; she had already grown accustomed to it... In the living room, Selene was communicating with the system, asking if the system knew what was wrong with Fu Xuan.
"Long-life species, Third Eye, rejection."
The system only gave Selene three keywords, but that was enough for Selene to understand the reason.
"So it's because of the Third Eye? What can be done to make Fu Xuan feel better?"
And Selene's inner thought was naturally heard by Fu Xuan.
This made Fu Xuan, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly open them, her eyes filled with unconcealed surprise!
"How could it know that I am suffering because of the Third Eye?" Fu Xuan mumbled aloud; she remembered she hadn't told Selene about this, had she?
...In the bathroom.
Selene stealthily transformed into her human form, picked up a basin, and filled it with some hot water.
Then she took Fu Xuan's usual towel from a nearby shelf and tossed it into the basin.
"Hmm... Even the Grand Diviner's towel has a fragrant scent. Girls are truly amazing creatures!"
Fu Xuan: Hmph, you say that as if you aren't a girl yourself. But why is she taking my towel?! Could it be just to smell the scent on the towel?! Pervert!
Selene's series of inner thoughts distracted Fu Xuan a bit, making Fu Xuan temporarily forget the pain in her body.
However, this was only temporary, as the rejection reaction produced by a long-life species' body was not so easily resolved... Selene picked up the towel with her hand, then wrung out the water.
"Phew! So hot!"
After doing all this, Selene transformed back into her cat form, then held the towel in her mouth and entered the Bedroom.
Fu Xuan heard the door open and was about to turn to look, but the pain in her body left her with little strength.
Helplessly, she could only give up on that idea.
Selene, walking with cat-like steps, slowly approached the bed, then gently jumped onto it.
However, her two front paws were wet, which resulted in two damp marks on the bedsheet after she jumped onto the bed.
"Do you want to sleep with me again?" Fu Xuan asked with her eyes closed.
"Meow! (Wrong! Idiot!)" Selene meowed, stood on Fu Xuan's pillow, and then aimed her chin at Fu Xuan's forehead.
Fu Xuan felt the movement and opened her eyes in confusion to check, but what she saw was a towel falling onto her forehead!
The towel was still steaming, and when it touched her forehead, she could feel a warmth.
"Although I don't know if a hot compress can alleviate the pain, it's worth a try."
Listening to Selene's inner thoughts, Fu Xuan's doubts were dispelled.
She sighed helplessly in her heart, saying to herself, "Little Stupid Cat, how could the pain caused by this kind of bodily rejection be so easily relieved? Even the pain-relieving herbal medicine given to me by the Dragon Girl had no effect..."
Although Fu Xuan thought this in her heart, the smile at the corner of her mouth revealed her true feelings.
"Meow? (How do you feel, Grand Diviner?)" Selene asked expectantly.
"Hmm, I feel much better."
Of course, this statement was a lie to Selene, merely to reassure her.
But what Fu Xuan didn't expect was that because of this one sentence, this little Stupid Cat continuously applied hot towels to her forehead for three hours!
How did that saying go? My forehead was almost rubbed raw!
...It wasn't until around three in the afternoon that Fu Xuan's body's rejection of the Third Eye finally stopped.
However, after all that tossing and turning, Fu Xuan had sweated a lot, and she didn't know if it was from the pain or from being compress with hot towels by a certain fellow.
And that fellow was currently resting her small head on her lap, with a few glistening drops of drool escaping from the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her leg.
This made Fu Xuan's mouth twitch; why was this fellow drooling so much lately?
Moving Selene's small head from her lap, Fu Xuan then stood up, preparing to take a shower, as she had sweated so much, her body would surely have a strange smell.
"Meow? (Huh?! Where did my pillow go?!)" Selene mumbled softly.
Fu Xuan: Hmph! Your pillow ran away!
"I've sweated a bit and need to take a shower. You continue to sleep. I'll take you to eat after I'm done."
Fu Xuan told Selene, then prepared to leave the Bedroom.
But before leaving, she heard the other party's inner thoughts again.
"Huh? But Fu Xuan Wife's sweat is all fragrant! Maybe she shouldn't shower! Let's just go out to eat!"
Fu Xuan: ...Should I say she's a perverted cat, or that she just wants to eat quickly?
...Upon arriving at the bathroom, Fu Xuan took off the clothes she was wearing and placed them aside.
Then she turned on the shower, ready to start rinsing.
But before washing, Fu Xuan still sniffed her own body.
"Hmm? Fortunately, there's no strange smell, but it's not fragrant either? So that fellow was just trying to eat quickly and deliberately lied to me?"
Fu Xuan mumbled softly, then let out a cold snort.
"Hmph! How dare you deceive me! Just wait and see how I'll punish you later!"
In the Bedroom, Selene had no idea what was about to happen. Listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she drifted back into a dream.
And when she woke up, she was being held in Fu Xuan's arms with one hand, while Fu Xuan's other hand was playing with the jade amulet.
Selene took a deep breath, smelling the fragrance on Fu Xuan's body, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"Oh, the Grand Diviner is even more fragrant after her shower! Hehehe! Fragrant and soft Grand Diviner..."
Selene was just about to start acting crazy when Fu Xuan tapped her head.
"Magic Cloak!"
Selene: ??? Huh? What is that?
"Since you're awake, I'll give you a bath and then take you to eat," Fu Xuan said calmly.
Selene: Huh? Do I have to take a bath too?! But aren't cats not supposed to bathe often? Fu Xuan should know that...
