But for some reason, Selene just couldn't remember what exactly that matter was!
"Hmm... brown sugar?! That incident was somewhat related to brown sugar... but why can't I remember it?"
Selene thought to herself, patting her little head with a paw.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan quickly reached out to stop her!
She was already so stupid; what if she got even stupider from all that patting?!
It was at this moment that Selene remembered that important matter!
"This Meow finally remembered! It was the medicinal powder Qingque gave me this afternoon!"
Her inner thought left Fu Xuan stunned!
"What medicinal powder? And Qingque gave it to her? Could it be that Selene is sick? But that shouldn't be the case, right?"
While Fu Xuan was deep in thought, Selene had already jumped out of her embrace!
When Selene jumped from the bed to the floor, there was a "bong" sound! This sound was a testament to Selene's weight!
Seeing the little cat rush off, Fu Xuan naturally felt curious but had no intention of following her.
Fu Xuan felt that she didn't need to constantly watch Selene; she had to give the Stupid Cat some private space, didn't she?
As for Selene, after leaving the Bedroom, she headed straight for the kitchen... Inside the kitchen.
Selene took out the medicinal powder Qingque had given her—or, more accurately, medicinal tea—from her system space and placed it on the kitchen counter.
Selene recalled that Qingque had said to just steep this stuff in water.
Thinking of this, Selene looked at the hot water kettle nearby.
She touched it with a paw; the kettle was empty, with no water inside.
"Hmm... this is troublesome now!"
Fu Xuan: "Hmm? Troublesome what? If you need Ben Zuo's help, Ben Zuo can assist you, but you need to come to Ben Zuo actively."
Of course, Selene would naturally not go to Fu Xuan; it was just a small matter of boiling water.
Selene slowly stood up, hugged the hot water kettle with her two front paws, and moved towards the sink.
However, since she was currently a cat, everything was not easy to do.
After placing the hot water kettle in the sink, Selene turned on the faucet.
But when the hot water kettle was full, Selene realized she seemed unable to lift it... In desperation, Selene had no choice but to transform into her human form, as there were truly too many things she couldn't do in her cat form!
However, since Fu Xuan was still at home, to avoid exposing her identity, Selene had to resort to some less than "honorable" methods!
That is, locking the kitchen door! This way, she wouldn't have to fear Fu Xuan suddenly appearing behind her and discovering that she wasn't actually a cat, but a cat-girl!
And the sound of the door locking was naturally heard by Fu Xuan.
This made Fu Xuan frown slightly, feeling a bit confused.
"This Little one, why did she lock the door? Is she doing something unspeakable?"
Fu Xuan murmured softly, sat up, dressed, and got out of bed, preparing to go to the kitchen to see.
Although she had just said she would give the Stupid Cat her private space, Fu Xuan still felt it was safer to go and check!
...Fu Xuan walked barefoot to the outside of the kitchen, standing by the door and listening to the sounds inside.
However, besides the sound of boiling water coming from the kitchen, Fu Xuan heard no other sounds.
It was at this moment that Fu Xuan felt a bloating pain in her abdomen, accompanied by a sore back and waist.
"Ugh... Ben Zuo forgot, today is Ben Zuo's period. Thankfully, Qingque gave Ben Zuo a pack of large band-aids this morning, otherwise, today would have been terrible."
When Fu Xuan thought of Qingque, a faint smile appeared on her face.
At the same time, she heard a murmur from inside the kitchen.
The sound was very soft, almost covered by the sound of boiling water, but Fu Xuan still heard it!
"Ugh? This hot water kettle is too slow, isn't it?"
Selene murmured softly from inside the kitchen.
When Fu Xuan heard this murmur, her pupils instantly widened, her small mouth slightly agape, as she stared at the closed kitchen door.
Because the voice sounded exactly like the inner thoughts she often heard!
A soft, sweet voice that sounded very easy to bully (not).
But Fu Xuan wasn't surprised for too long, and her surprise just now was merely because Selene could actually speak Xianzhou language!
However, there weren't few animals that could speak Xianzhou language, and Selene had always acted very intelligent, so it wasn't too strange!
The only thing she couldn't understand now was why Selene only meowed in front of her. Could it be that she was afraid Ben Zuo would find out she could speak human language and send her for research?
But Fu Xuan never expected that Selene could actually transform into human form!
However, if Selene hadn't locked the door, her identity would probably have been exposed!
Selene: "Good thing I'm clever!"
...A few minutes later, the water boiled, and Selene picked up a large bowl, pouring the hot water into it.
And at this time, Fu Xuan quietly returned to her Bedroom.
After pouring the hot water into the bowl, Selene tore open the outer packaging of the medicinal tea.
The medicinal tea looked like a red powder overall, but upon closer inspection, one could find some black powder mixed within.
Selene leaned in to smell it and could distinctly detect the scent of brown sugar and ginger!
As for other smells, Selene couldn't distinguish them, as they were all herbal scents, and she wasn't skilled in medicine, so she naturally couldn't differentiate.
Pouring all the medicinal powder into the bowl, Selene picked up a spoon and stirred it.
Soon, the originally clear water instantly turned dark red! Emitting an aroma of traditional Chinese medicine!
Smelling this scent, Selene couldn't help but gulp, "Hmm... it reminds me of the fear of being dominated by traditional Chinese medicine when I was a child!"
But very quickly, Selene was relieved!
What was she afraid of?! This stuff was for Fu Xuan to drink!
Fu Xuan: "Thank you, I won't drink it!"
Selene unlocked the kitchen door, then placed the bowl on top of her head and transformed into her cat form.
This was the only way she could think of to carry this bowl of medicinal tea out!
Fortunately, she had performed on the street with Guinaifen before, so balancing a bowl on her head? It was second nature!
But when Selene walked to the Bedroom door and saw the tightly closed Bedroom door, she fell into contemplation... In the end, Selene could only meow outside the door to get Fu Xuan to open it!
Fu Xuan listened to Selene meowing outside the door and found it somewhat amusing.
"Hehe? Now you remember Ben Zuo? You want Ben Zuo to open the door for you? You just locked the kitchen door! Hmph!"
Although Fu Xuan was considering teasing Selene, she ultimately decided against it and went to open the door for Selene.
And then she saw...
