Helpless, Selene could only look at the papers on the table.
There weren't many left, about ten sheets... Although she didn't know how to deal with them, she'd better see what they were about first. After that, whatever happened, she could only leave it to fate!
(Exalting Sanctum caught someone cheating at cards, and among the people playing with him, there was a Cloud Knight.)
(And the person who was caught, despite cheating, played all afternoon and didn't win a single hand.)
(General, so does he constitute fraud? If so, should his punishment be increased? Because he defrauded a Cloud Knight!)
Selene's brows instantly furrowed after reading, her small face clearly showing the words 'I don't know'.
Seeing Selene in this state, Fu Xuan naturally had to tease her!
"General, do you not know how to answer? If that's the case, General, you should quickly abdicate!"
Fu Xuan said with a faint smile on her lips.
"No, Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, I'm thinking, wasn't yesterday a workday? Why did this Cloud Knight run off to play cards in the afternoon? Isn't that skipping work?!"
Selene said seriously!
Fu Xuan: ??? Why is your focus so peculiar!
"Hmm... That is indeed a problem! This Diviner hates people who skip work to slack off the most!"
Fu Xuan said in a displeased tone, while also preparing to tell Jing Yuan about this, so that Jing Yuan could deal with the Cloud Knight who skipped work.
Cloud Knight: ??? How did this get twisted to me?! Am I not the victim?
...After a moment, Fu Xuan realized that she had been led astray by Selene!
They were clearly dealing with the person who cheated! How did it get twisted to the Cloud Knight?! And this fellow even made a convincing argument!
Finally, Fu Xuan sighed helplessly and chased Selene off her seat!
"General, you'd better go watch from the side!"
Fu Xuan said grumpily.
Selene: ...I'm disliked QAQ.
Fu Xuan: You're too talented. This Diviner is afraid of being replaced by you!
...[System, if I forcibly take Fu Xuan out of the office, does that count as a successful mission?]
Seeing that persuading Fu Xuan failed, Selene started to have other ideas.
[Host, as long as you can make Fu Xuan not work overtime, any means are acceptable!]
After getting the system's answer, Selene began to have mischievous thoughts... [How about? I just pick Fu Xuan up! And carry her out of the office!]
Selene thought this in her heart.
Fu Xuan, who was nearby: ???
She looked at Selene in shock, unable to believe that this was something Selene could come up with!
"Could it be? She really wants this Diviner not to work overtime?"
Fu Xuan was thinking this in her heart when she suddenly felt an itch at her waist!
By the time Fu Xuan reacted, she had already been picked up by Selene and was being carried on her shoulder!
Fu Xuan's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and her earlobes were also covered in a faint pink! Her heart was filled with shyness!
Fu Xuan tried to struggle, but she was held tightly on Selene's shoulder, which made Fu Xuan feel a bit helpless, because this fellow's strength was really a bit too great!
"Quickly put this Diviner down!"
After struggling to no avail, Fu Xuan could only speak up and ask Selene to put her down.
"Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, you should rest!"
Selene only said this one sentence and had no intention of putting Fu Xuan down.
[I have to say, Fu Xuan Wife is really too light! She was picked up so easily!]
Fu Xuan: Heh! You try taking off your disguise?
"If you don't put this Diviner down! You'll face the consequences!"
Fu Xuan said with a firm attitude, and at the same time, she used her hands to hit Selene's back, and her legs also swung continuously in the air, trying to break free.
However, she didn't dare to hit too hard, afraid of hurting Selene, it was truly difficult!
"No, Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, just obediently go out and rest!"
Selene's lips curved slightly, mainly because Diviner Fu in this state was really too cute!
But very quickly, her smile froze! Because... "Selene! If you don't put this Diviner down! This Diviner will make you sleep on the streets tonight!"
Fu Xuan said "fiercely"! Her tone was full of threat!
Selene had already frozen in place and stopped her steps when she heard Fu Xuan call out her name.
[Congratulations Host... no, it is with regret that I inform the Host, mission failed! You will unlock the system store --- Joyful Edition.]
But now Selene was not in the mood to deal with the system.
After her identity was exposed, she honestly reverted to her original appearance and put Fu Xuan down from her shoulder.
"How did Sister Fu Xuan see through it?"
Selene asked, puzzled.
"I knew it was you from the very beginning! This Diviner was just playing along with you! I didn't expect you to be so out of line!"
Fu Xuan said, crossing her arms, a little angry.
However, the blush on her face had not faded, and she looked even cuter like this!
She looked like a little wife who had been bullied and was now sulking by herself!
"Hmm! This Meow just wanted you to get off work and rest! My intentions were good!"
Selene argued. Seeing Fu Xuan in this state, she felt that if she wasn't bullied by Fu Xuan, this matter probably wouldn't be over today!
...And as she expected, Fu Xuan didn't listen to her explanation at all. She wrapped her arms around Selene's waist and carried Selene onto her own shoulder!
Fu Xuan: Hmph! This Diviner wants you to experience it too! What it's like to be carried!
As for Selene, who was being carried, she struggled for a while at first, but facing the size difference, she ultimately failed.
And when Fu Xuan saw Selene stop struggling, she carried her towards the office desk.
She was going to carry Selene back! And then she would sit there and continue to work overtime! To annoy this little Stupid Cat to death!
But the person in question, Selene, seeing this, had some strange thoughts.
[Ah?! Why is Fu Xuan Wife carrying me towards the office desk? She wouldn't be thinking of...]
Fu Xuan: Hmm? In your heart, what does this Diviner want to do? Why aren't you saying it again?!
[She wouldn't be... wanting to pin me on the table... and give me a good beating?! Wuwuwu! Don't do that! It's too embarrassing! And I'm not that guilty, wuwuwu!!!]
Hearing Selene's thoughts, Fu Xuan's small brows furrowed again.
"Pin her on the table and give her a good beating? Hmm... Why would she think this Diviner would hit people? Is this Diviner that fierce?"
Fu Xuan thought this in her heart, feeling inexplicably unhappy.
"Hmph! Since you think of this Diviner that way! Then don't blame this Diviner for treating you like this!"
