Hearing Selene's scream, Fu Xuan quickly got up and went to the kitchen to see what had happened to Selene.
However, Selene in the kitchen was facing away from the door, so Fu Xuan only saw Selene's back and her white hair spread out behind her.
"So? What happened?"
Fu Xuan looked at Selene's back and asked, puzzled.
But what answered her was another "pop"!
Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, because she felt that this sound seemed somewhat familiar!
"Uh? I was just eating a candy that makes a sound."
After swallowing what she was eating, Selene turned around and said to Fu Xuan.
"It's Popping Candy, right! So what were you screaming about just now?"
Fu Xuan asked.
"Uh? I just didn't expect this candy to make a sound, and it startled me, so I instinctively screamed."
Selene's small hand subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes, saying a little embarrassed.
Fu Xuan: ... "There's still a lot of candy. If you like it, eat it. The one thing This Meow doesn't lack at home is candy."
After Fu Xuan finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
"Hmm? Is there still this candy? Where is it?"
Selene's eyes immediately lit up! Because she had never eaten this kind of special candy since she came to Xianzhou, it was quite novel.
"Isn't it in the drawer below? There's a whole drawer full! You don't know where it's kept? Then where did you get the candy from?"
Fu Xuan said, her tone becoming strange.
This Stupid Cat doesn't even know where the candy is kept, so where did the one in her mouth come from?
"Uh? Hehehe..."
Selene didn't answer Fu Xuan, but laughed awkwardly, thinking to herself:
"This Meow can't tell you that I picked it up from the floor, can she?"
Fu Xuan: ... "You didn't, by any chance, pick it up from the floor, did you?"
When Fu Xuan said this, her tone seemed a little angry.
"Huh? Fu Xuan, how did you know?"
As soon as Selene said this, she realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth!
"You dare to eat something that fell on the floor?! Aren't you afraid of getting poisoned?! Have you forgotten the last time you ate chocolate and ended up lying flat?"
Fu Xuan's voice rose slightly, and her tone clearly showed that she was angry! And quite angry!
But for some reason, it always felt like a fierce yet adorable kind of anger?
Seeing Fu Xuan's displeased expression, Selene quickly moved closer to her, took Fu Xuan's small hand, and began to shake it, starting to act spoiled:
"Oh, oh! Big Sister Fu Xuan, don't be angry! Isn't this something that fell in the kitchen? It clearly looks edible, right?"
When Selene said these words, she deliberately lowered her voice, which made her already soft and sweet voice sound even more adorable!
And Fu Xuan, at that moment, also calmed down, or rather, couldn't continue to be angry.
"Sigh! I really can't do anything with you! Don't do this again next time! Otherwise, you'll be in for it!"
Fu Xuan sighed helplessly, but still put on a serious face and gave Selene a verbal lecture and threat.
"Okay, okay, okay! I know! My adorable Grand Diviner! Hurry up and go out! I'm going to cook!"
Selene said, taking a "Popping Candy" from the drawer, tearing open the wrapper, and putting it into Fu Xuan's mouth.
"Hmph! Don't call me Grand Diviner, keep calling me Big Sister!"
Fu Xuan said, crossing her arms over her chest, with a somewhat commanding tone.
"Okay, okay, okay! Big Sister Fu Xuan, after eating this candy, will you forgive your little sister this time?"
Selene's lips curved slightly. She knew that this time, she had managed to get by!
Sure enough! If Fu Xuan gets angry, never talk back to her! You have to coax her, go along with her! Otherwise...
Fu Xuan felt the sweetness in her mouth, said nothing more, and turned to leave the kitchen.
"Hmm? Wait! Wasn't this candy bought by This Meow? So she's using something This Meow bought to make This Meow calm down?"
...An hour later, Selene came out of the kitchen, carrying three plates of dishes.
For her, who possessed mastery in cooking, making food was really not difficult, it was even easy!
"Hmm! It looks good. I didn't expect you, a Little Kitten, to be such a good cook!"
Fu Xuan praised.
"Hmph hmph! So, is there any reward?"
Selene looked at Fu Xuan with a smile, asking deliberately.
She wasn't really asking for a reward, after all, it was just cooking a meal, she was purely asking on purpose!
But what Selene didn't expect was that Fu Xuan actually nodded!
"Ah?! What's the reward?!"
Selene asked excitedly.
"How about I 'reward' you by having you wash This Meow's socks?"
Fu Xuan's lips curved slightly, and she pointed to the stockings she was wearing on her leg.
"Ah...?"
Selene was stunned, seemingly not expecting that Fu Xuan would call washing socks a "reward"!
"Hmm? It seems you don't like it. This Meow will change it for you..."
"No, no, no! Sister Fu Xuan, I'm willing!!! Please, please do that to me!!!"
Fu Xuan: ... This Meow underestimated your level of perversion!
...But in the end, Selene did not get her wish. Fu Xuan only rewarded her with a piece of candy.
Looking at Selene's disappointed little expression, Fu Xuan's lips couldn't help but curve upwards! Wildly!
After dinner, Fu Xuan was responsible for washing the dishes, while Selene transformed back into her cat form and lay on the sofa, staring blankly.
Her remaining eight hours of transformation time for today were not much. If she hadn't occasionally turned back into a cat during the day, her time would have run out long ago.
Therefore, when Fu Xuan finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, she saw Selene lying listlessly on the sofa, as if she was about to fall asleep.
"Is she tired?"
Fu Xuan walked over and sat beside Selene, reaching out to stroke her fluffy head as she asked.
"Meow! (Tired, woke up too early this morning.)"
Selene meowed, then closed her eyes, preparing to nap for a bit.
"Then you go take a bath first, and then go to bed and sleep."
Fu Xuan said.
Selene: ???
"Meow? (Didn't she just wash me yesterday? Again today? Cats can't bathe every day!)"
Selene protested with a meow!
It wasn't that she was unwilling to wash, it was purely because once her fur got wet, drying it was very troublesome. It basically wouldn't dry in less than fifteen minutes!
But that wasn't even the main point. The main reason was that the hairdryer was too loud! If she had to listen to it every day, she would really get depressed!
Of course, Fu Xuan was well aware of all these things Selene feared, as she could directly hear her thoughts.
"This Meow is telling you to turn into a human and take a bath."
Fu Xuan continued to stroke Selene's fluffy head as she spoke.
Selene: ... So it's about turning into a human to take a bath?
