"Oh, this? I'm already late, and if I'm even later, won't that be too much?"
Selene's tone held a hint of surprise.
"Ahem… it's almost lunchtime. If you're a little later, it's actually no big deal."
Qingque said.
Selene: …Time came to noon.
Selene furtively arrived at Diviner Fu Xuan's office door.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock, she heard Diviner Fu Xuan's voice.
"Come in, I know it's you!"
Selene: …After she opened the office door, she walked in somewhat cautiously, occasionally glancing at Diviner Fu Xuan's pretty face, wanting to see if she was angry.
"Let's go! I just finished my work. I'll take you to lunch."
Diviner Fu Xuan said, standing up and walking over to Selene, skillfully extending her hand.
Selene: …After last night's experience, Selene also knew what Diviner Fu Xuan meant by extending her hand.
Selene slowly raised her hand, a little embarrassed, and placed her small hand in Diviner Fu Xuan's palm.
Feeling the touch from her palm, Diviner Fu Xuan grasped it, then led Selene out of the office.
On the way, Diviner Fu Xuan looked at Selene's slightly flushed face and couldn't help but find her a little cute.
"This fellow, she's clearly so perverse on the inside, yet she even gets shy holding hands, honestly! But, this is quite cute!"
…In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
Selene took her nap in Diviner Fu Xuan's office.
Hmm? To be more precise, she napped on Diviner Fu Xuan's lap!
The soft, smooth touch, and the fragrant scent emanating from Diviner Fu Xuan, made Selene sleep very soundly!
However, good times are always short-lived, and it was time for that damned work again!
Selene reluctantly stood up from Diviner Fu Xuan's lap, leaving Diviner Fu Xuan's office as if resigned to her fate.
Diviner Fu Xuan: Why does this fellow act like it's a farewell for life and death?
At the main entrance of the Divination Commission.
Qingque had already arrived before Selene, leaning against the iron gate.
Seeing this, Selene couldn't help but be surprised, not expecting Qingque to arrive so early!
"You're late, April Seven!"
Looking at Selene slowly approaching, Qingque chuckled.
Selene: ??? So it wasn't that Qingque arrived early, but that she was just late?!
…"Ahem! Want to play cards, April Seven?"
Qingque asked, but as she asked, she had already skillfully retrieved a card table from her storage space.
"You've already taken it out, how can I refuse you?"
Selene said, already standing beside the card table, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think to herself: Oh dear! If other Diviners saw someone playing cards at the main entrance, I wonder what their reaction would be?
Grand Diviner Fu Xuan, who was currently working hard: ???
"No? These two fellows went to guard the gate, and they can still play cards?!"
Grand Diviner Fu Xuan, hearing Selene's thoughts, couldn't help but murmur aloud.
"Ah? Grand Diviner, who's playing cards?"
Bai Ling, next to Grand Diviner Fu Xuan, asked in confusion.
"Nothing, it's just that I Divined something!"
Grand Diviner Fu Xuan finished speaking and began to deal with her work again… "Here, a lounge chair for you!"
Qingque took out two lounge chairs from her storage space and handed one to Selene.
"Ah?! You actually carry lounge chairs with you?!"
Selene exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh dear! Better safe than sorry! See, aren't they useful now?!"
Qingque said casually.
Selene: What she said makes so much sense!
…"One fish!"
"Pong! Three-wan!"
"Hey! Just in time! I'm going out!"
Qingque said, taking the three-wan that Selene had just played.
Selene: …"No? You're going out again?!"
Selene said, frowning slightly.
"Oh dear! Look!"
Qingque said, showing her tiles to Selene.
Seeing this, Selene was about to lean in to look, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of yellow.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Selene murmured, moving sideways a bit, and then she finally saw what the yellow thing was!
"Mara…! Mara-Struck!"
After seeing it clearly, Selene's eyes instantly widened, and she pointed to a spot not far behind Qingque, saying.
"Ah? What?"
Qingque instantly stood up and looked behind her.
Coincidentally, that Mara-Struck Soldier also turned its head and saw the two of them!
In an instant, the Mara-Struck Soldier, which had been standing and walking, suddenly bent its legs, arched its body slightly, adopting a combat stance, and charged towards the two of them!
Qingque reacted quickly, picking up a qiongyu cards from the table and throwing it at the Mara-Struck Soldier!
This qiongyu cards accurately hit the opponent, but unfortunately, it was just an ordinary diyuan jade, with minimal lethality against the Mara-Struck Soldier!
"April Seven, hurry up and hide!"
After Qingque gave an instruction, a small card table appeared out of thin air in her hand. On the card table were three di yuan jade tiles, and the patterns on these three di yuan jade tiles were all identical fish.
"Give me a fish!"
Qingque said, patting her small card table. A diyuan jade tile instantly appeared in the center of the table, but unfortunately, its pattern was a circle!
Seeing that the Mara-Struck Soldier was almost upon her, Qingque didn't care if she had a winning hand or not. She immediately picked up a diyuan jade tile and threw it at the Mara-Struck Soldier again!
This time, the di yuan jade tiles were no longer ordinary. When it hit the Mara-Struck Soldier, a crack instantly appeared on the opponent's armor!
At the same time, Selene discovered that Mara-Struck Soldiers had also appeared behind her, and there were two of them!
But Selene not only didn't feel scared, but instead felt a little excited!
"Hehehe! I can finally try out the power of my Path of Elation!"
Selene thought this to herself, and began to mobilize the power of the Path of Elation within her body.
However, what made Selene more worried was that her strength was random, and she was afraid that she might be unlucky enough to randomly get a mortal-level strength!
At the same time, Selene could clearly feel that her Path power within her body had been consumed a little!
But? She didn't feel her body filled with power! Could it be that she really randomly got a mortal-level strength?!
Just as Selene was about to ask the system what was going on, a white toilet suddenly fell from the sky! It smashed onto one of the Mara-Struck Soldiers with a "bong"!
The Mara-Struck Soldier's entire armor showed cracks, looking as if it was about to shatter at any moment!
And that Mara-Struck Soldier also lay on the ground, its fate unknown!
[Host, this use of Path power was very successful! The ability randomly obtained by the host this time is: to bestow life upon inanimate objects and summon them to fight!]
[The inanimate object randomly given life this time is: a toilet! It will completely obey the host's commands!]
Selene: …I… Fourth update delivered! Please generate power with love! Wuwuwuwu!!!
