The reason Fu Xuan had Selene work with Little Liu Guang was also very simple: she merely wanted Little Liu Guang to look after Selene more.
Furthermore, Selene and Little Liu Guang already knew each other, so Fu Xuan was quite at ease sending Selene to work in the Archives!
After sending the message, Fu Xuan put down her jade amulet and then walked into the Bedroom to wake Selene up.
"Little lazy cat, time to get up, the sun is already shining on your butt!"
Fu Xuan's tone was incredibly gentle, a complete contrast to her usual self!
Selene rolled over, seemingly intending to continue sleeping, with no intention of getting up.
"If you don't get up soon, you know the consequences, don't you?"
Seeing that the "Gentle Wake-Up Method" was ineffective, Fu Xuan had no choice but to resort to "threats."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Selene, who had been stubbornly staying in bed, instantly opened her eyes and looked at Fu Xuan with a somewhat resentful gaze.
Then, Selene glanced out the window and saw that the sky was only just beginning to show the first hint of dawn!
Selene immediately realized that she had been tricked by Fu Xuan! It was probably seven o'clock at most! No later than that!
"Meow meow meow!!! (The sun has only just peeked out! Why are you waking This Meow up so early! If This Meow doesn't get a big meal today, this won't be over!)"
Selene meowed incessantly, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Fu Xuan smiled mysteriously, reached out and fumbled a few times on the wall, and then... a sun appeared on the ceiling of Fu Xuan's Bedroom. Although it was just a projection, it was indeed no different from what Fu Xuan had just said about the "sun shining on your butt!"
Selene: ...You win.
Fu Xuan: Arguing with This Meow? Little Liu Guang, you're still too young!
...After breakfast, Selene followed Fu Xuan to the Divination Commission.
"Oh, right, This Meow forgot to tell you yesterday. You are now a regular Diviner at the Divination Commission."
Walking inside the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan suddenly looked at Selene and said.
Selene: ???
"Ah? Is it that sudden? But why?"
Selene asked, puzzled, because she hadn't told Fu Xuan that she wanted to join the Divination Commission.
Of course, she herself wasn't averse to it.
"Because your identity is quite complex. Working at the Divination Commission also serves as a way to protect you. Of course, if you are unwilling, This Meow can release you anytime."
Fu Xuan said with a serious tone.
"Hehe? Will I get a salary! My Grand Diviner!"
Selene's face broke into a smile as she leaned close to Fu Xuan's ear and whispered.
"Naturally! This Meow wouldn't be so stingy as to withhold one person's salary, would she?"
Fu Xuan said, annoyed.
"How much is it?"
Selene asked, rubbing her hands together like a fly.
"A regular Diviner's salary is six thousand stellar jade, and the Archives Assistant Administrator gets two thousand stellar jade, so that's eight thousand in total. Plus, working at the Divination Commission comes with various benefits."
Fu Xuan said in a calm tone.
"That's it?!"
Selene said this, deliberately showing a disappointed expression.
"What? You're still not satisfied? If you want more, then work hard! This Meow will naturally give you a promotion and a raise!"
"Hmph! You can completely trust what This Meow says! This Meow would never draw up empty promises like Jing Yuan does every day!"
When Fu Xuan said this, her voice was noticeably louder, clearly expressing her strong displeasure with Jing Yuan!
"Um... This Meow meant, are there no other benefits? Like, being able to kiss the Grand Diviner every month?"
Selene said with a mischievous smile.
"Heh! If you want it, This Meow can give it to you right now!"
Fu Xuan looked at Selene, her expression becoming a little strange.
"No, no, no! What This Meow wants is for the Grand Diviner to lie down obediently, without resisting, and let This Meow kiss her however This Meow wants!"
Selene began spouting nonsense with a straight face; after all, Fu Xuan wouldn't get angry, right?
"Hmph! That's naturally impossible! If your own abilities are insufficient, then find a way to improve them yourself! Want This Meow not to resist? Dream on!"
Fu Xuan crossed her arms over her chest, looked down at Selene, and said, annoyed.
"Tch! If you don't want to, you don't want to! Why are you lecturing me now!"
Selene murmured in a low voice.
"Hmm? Are you mumbling bad things about This Meow? If you have an opinion about This Meow, you can say it directly!"
"How could I?! I would never..."
Selene was about to explain, but before she could finish, her lips were already sealed by a certain Grand Diviner... It was the familiar morning, and a certain Little Sparrow woke up from bed precisely on time.
She subconsciously opened her jade amulet to check the time, and then she noticed that Fu Xuan had actually @ her in the group chat!
Little Liu Guang instantly panicked! For so many years, Little Liu Guang had always adhered to one philosophy! That was to marginalize herself! That way, she could slack off with peace of mind!
And she had always done this very well! She was almost at the point where the Divination Commission would optimize her out of existence!
Indeed, Little Liu Guang was "promoted" almost every year! Unfortunately, it was a demotion.
This also meant that Little Liu Guang was basically unnoticed within the Divination Commission, a complete nobody.
But then! Today, the Grand Diviner actually @ her in the group! Little Liu Guang was all too familiar with this!
Whenever Fu Xuan was in a bad mood and happened to catch her slacking off, Fu Xuan would @ her in the group! She would say that Little Liu Guang had slacked off today and would have to stay for overtime that evening! And she would make all Diviners supervise!
It could be said that whenever Fu Xuan @ her in the group, nothing good ever happened!
Little Liu Guang took a deep breath, opened her jade amulet, and entered the group chat.
She probably guessed what Fu Xuan had @ her for; she probably got caught slacking off yesterday, right? And now Fu Xuan was in a bad mood and came to punish her... But when Little Liu Guang saw the message, she froze.
It turned out that a new Diviner had arrived at the Divination Commission!
"Phew! You scared me to death! I thought the Diviner was going to make me work overtime again! Thank goodness, thank goodness! It's just a new Diviner!"
Little Liu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, patting her private airstrip with her small hands, showing how nervous she had been just now.
But soon, Little Liu Guang discovered the problem again!
"How did this new Diviner get assigned to me by the Diviner?! Does this count as a disguised promotion? After all, I have an extra subordinate!"
"No, no, no! I still need to continue marginalizing myself! Otherwise, if I get promoted again someday, I'll be busy!"
Little Liu Guang thought this to herself, beginning to plan how to make her position continue to drop, so that she could conveniently slack off!
However, speaking of slacking off, Little Liu Guang then thought that she might need to pass on her philosophy of slacking off to the new Diviner. Otherwise, what if the other person saw her slacking off and reported her?!
To avoid such a thing from happening! She could only bring the other person along to slack off with her! Commonly known as dragging them down with her!
