When Fu Xuan opened the Bedroom door, she saw Selene standing pitifully outside, with a large bowl balanced on her head!
However, when Fu Xuan saw the dark red, strange-smelling, unknown liquid in the bowl, she fell silent.
Fu Xuan reached out and took the bowl, then looked at Selene and asked, "So? You went to the kitchen just now, and even locked the door, all to make a bowl of this?"
Selene nodded her cat head and responded as if it were obvious, "Meow! (That's right! What did you think?)"
Fu Xuan: ...
"Meow! (Drink it quickly! You'll feel better if you drink it!)"
Selene continued to meow.
Fu Xuan hesitated after hearing her, then finally leaned her nose closer to smell the unknown liquid in the bowl, then closed her eyes and took a big gulp!
But after one sip, Fu Xuan immediately understood what was in the bowl!
Wasn't this the medicinal tea that the Dragon Girl had specifically given her before, which could alleviate various discomforts girls experience during their menstrual cycle?
But... Fu Xuan clearly remembered that when she made and drank this medicinal tea herself before, the water was light red? Why was this dark red?
"You didn't, by any chance, put the entire packet of medicine powder in, did you?!"
Fu Xuan asked Selene, but though it was a question, her tone was very certain!
Hearing this, Selene froze, then became a little guilty.
"Meow... (Ye... yes!)"
Fu Xuan: 6.
"Do you know, one packet is enough for three days?"
Fu Xuan said with some helplessness.
Selene: ... [No wonder I thought there was so much medicine powder!]
Fu Xuan: So stupid, how did she manage to get so fat when she was a stray before? It's quite surprising... Afterwards, Fu Xuan boiled some more water, diluted the bowl of dark red medicinal tea, and then added a large amount of sugar powder.
After drinking the entire bowl, Fu Xuan felt her whole body warm up even more, and the bloating pain in her abdomen was significantly relieved.
However, it was only relief; to say it completely disappeared was still not quite achievable.
Fu Xuan hugged Selene and lay back down on the bed, ready to sleep with this Stupid Cat.
It must be said, although Selene was a bit stupid, her fur was indeed very warm; holding her felt like a furnace! The best choice for winter!
If Selene knew this thought, she would definitely be very speechless, right?
...At the same time, Selene, held in Fu Xuan's arms, received a newly issued mission from the system.
[Host, please accept the mission: In cat form, gently knead Fu Xuan's belly with your paws to help her alleviate discomfort! Relieve fatigue! This mission requires continuous kneading until Fu Xuan falls asleep to be completed!]
[Upon mission completion, the Host's fixed daily transformation duration will increase from six hours to eight hours. If the mission fails, you will be severely punished by Fu Xuan! Punishment content unknown.]
Selene: ... [Severely punished by Fu Xuan? How will I be punished?! It won't be a severe punishment with white silk jade feet, will it?!]
Selene's mind raced, which could also be described as starting to go crazy.
Fu Xuan: ??? Why would This Meow punish you for no reason? Moreover? For a perverted kitten like you, isn't this punishment actually a reward?!
As Fu Xuan was thinking, she suddenly felt a soft sensation on her abdomen, as if something was gently kneading her belly.
Fu Xuan lifted the blanket to look, and it was this very action that startled Selene, who was diligently kneading Fu Xuan's belly!
Selene suddenly lifted her cat head and looked at Fu Xuan with her terrified little eyes, her round eyes wide open! But within the covers, she looked even cuter!
"What are you doing?"
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Meow! (Mind your own business!)"
The Stupid Cat meowed haughtily, then, under Fu Xuan's gaze, continued to lift her small paws and press on Fu Xuan's abdomen.
Fu Xuan watched for a moment and recognized what Selene was doing.
Isn't this the cat "kneading" she had seen in videos before? She never thought that one day, Selene would "knead" her!
(Special note, dear reviewer, cat kneading is a normal phenomenon and does not involve any inappropriate guidance!!!)
However, Fu Xuan remembered that when she watched that video, the person filming it said that cats knead because they miss their mothers, so they treat the closest person as their mother.
"Could it be?! Selene is treating me as her mother now?! Is that why she's kneading me?!"
Fu Xuan thought this to herself, and then inexplicably felt an added sense of responsibility on her shoulders.
Selene: ??? Meow! I treat you as my wife, and you want to be my mother?!
...But it must be said, having her belly kneaded by this Stupid Cat was quite comfortable!
Especially during the kneading, the Stupid Cat kept emitting a comforting purr!
Feeling the comfort from her abdomen and Selene's purring, Fu Xuan suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness.
But perhaps because she usually went to bed too late, and it was too early now, although Fu Xuan felt sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep after closing her eyes.
This greatly frustrated Selene, who kept communicating with the system in her mind.
[System, isn't Fu Xuan asleep yet?! Has the mission not been completed yet?!]
[Host, don't worry, just keep kneading and she'll fall asleep, won't she?]
Selene: ...It's been over ten minutes, This Meow's paws are so sore... About another ten minutes passed, and Selene once again posed a soul-searching question to the system, but the system's answer was still that she hadn't fallen asleep.
However, the system gave Selene an irrefutable reason.
[You call her 'wife' all the time, and now that she's uncomfortable, you're unwilling to knead her a little longer?!]
Selene: What you said makes so much sense, my guilt is overflowing!
...Half an hour later, Fu Xuan felt the small paws kneading her abdomen gradually stop, and not only that, but the purring also ceased.
"Hmm? Is she tired?"
Fu Xuan wondered, burying her small head into the blanket and looking at Selene within the covers.
"So she fell asleep first?"
Fu Xuan murmured, a faint smile on her lips.
She reached out and tapped Selene's small head twice, then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Selene: You were faking it?!
...The next morning, it was still dark, but the chirping of birds could already be heard outside the window.
Selene woke up from her sleep, and a small mountain appeared on Fu Xuan's previously flat bed.
That small mountain slowly began to move, shifting all the way to the edge of the bed...
