Selene saw herself being pushed back into a corner by Fu Xuan again, with a strong tendency to be 'wall-slammed'!
But as a little cat, she would never give in!
So, Selene tiptoed slightly, making herself appear a little taller, and feigned composure, saying:
"Y-y-you... didn't you say you wanted to show me something? Where is it?!"
"Something, you ask? Look here!"
As Fu Xuan spoke, she slowly raised her other hand and extended her index finger, wiggling it in front of Selene.
"This? What is this? All I see is your hand?"
Selene asked, confused.
"Silly, what This Meow wants you to see is This Meow's finger, isn't it?"
As Fu Xuan spoke, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her lips, like an older sister who had successfully tricked a child, looking at the child's aggrieved expression with a satisfied smile!
"You tricked This Meow?!"
As Selene said this, a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.
"This Meow didn't trick you, did she? Didn't This Meow show you something?"
As Fu Xuan spoke, the corners of her lips curved up a little more.
"Alright! This Meow's cat addiction has flared up, quickly turn into a cat so This Meow can get her fix!"
Fu Xuan stopped wasting words and directly stated her purpose.
Selene: ... [I thought... this guy was going to kiss me again, turns out she just wants to 'sniff' me...]
Listening to Selene's thoughts, Fu Xuan tilted her head slightly, then... slowly leaned in and sealed Selene's mouth with her own lips!
"Mmm...!"
Selene let out a soft whimper, her eyes instantly widening!
[She, she, she?! Didn't she say she wanted to 'sniff' a cat? This doesn't seem to be what was agreed upon!!!]
Selene exclaimed in her heart, her breathing becoming rapid.
"Since you want it, This Meow will certainly satisfy you, won't she?"
Listening to Selene's thoughts, Fu Xuan also answered her in her heart, though Selene couldn't hear it... A few minutes later, Selene placed her hands on Fu Xuan's abdomen and pushed, trying to push Fu Xuan away.
Fu Xuan naturally felt Selene pushing her with her hands, but the force the other party used was really too small. Fu Xuan even thought this Little one was playing hard to get... So, Fu Xuan wrapped both hands around Selene's waist, holding her a little tighter!
Selene: ... [I'm going to die... Ahhh! I can't breathe!!!]
Selene cried out in her heart, while simultaneously pushing Fu Xuan with her palms again.
It was just that her body had long since lost all strength, and her little hands' pushing felt like a gentle massage for Fu Xuan!
Finally, it was Fu Xuan who heard Selene's thoughts, and only then did she voluntarily release Selene.
Selene, released from her "confinement," slumped weakly to the ground, gasping for air... But due to her lack of strength, the sound of her breathing sounded extremely seductive!
As for Fu Xuan, after releasing Selene, she extended her little pink tongue and licked her lips, as if savoring something... "Have you rested well?"
About ten minutes later, Fu Xuan saw Selene stand up from the ground and asked.
"Huh? What else do you want to do?"
As Selene spoke, she instinctively retreated, but she forgot that she was in a corner!
"Didn't This Meow say? This Meow wants to 'sniff' a cat, aren't you going to transform yet?!"
Fu Xuan said as if it were obvious.
"Can I... refuse?"
Selene was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"If you refuse, your daily allowance will be gone, you know!"
Fu Xuan said with a smile, clearly having Selene completely under her control.
Left with no choice, Selene reluctantly transformed into her cat form and voluntarily jumped up, pouncing into Fu Xuan's arms.
"Oh my! Don't look so aggrieved. This Meow remembers, when you were just being kissed, weren't you always responding to This Meow?"
"It was only later when your breathing got messed up that you thought of pushing This Meow away. Actually, you like being kissed by This Meow, don't you?"
Fu Xuan held Selene, stroked her head, and slowly said.
Selene did not answer, but simply lay obediently on Fu Xuan's body.
But just as Fu Xuan said, if she truly didn't like it, she would have pushed Fu Xuan away and run off long ago; she was perfectly capable of doing so now!
However, Selene would certainly not admit it verbally. As for why, perhaps Selene herself wasn't sure?
As for the last sentence Fu Xuan said just now, what Fu Xuan actually wanted to say was, you actually like This Meow, don't you?
But in the end, she still couldn't say it and changed it to, you also like being kissed by This Meow, don't you?
The reason she didn't say it was because Fu Xuan was waiting for a time, and when the time came, she would confess to her, right?
At least through Selene's thoughts, Fu Xuan could confirm that this guy liked her, but she didn't seem to know how to express it?
Or rather, she didn't dare to express it?
Fu Xuan did not know the reasons behind this.
But... if you don't dare, then This Meow taking the initiative should be fine, right? She can't refuse This Meow, can she?!
However, now is not the time, let's cultivate her a bit more... Wait until she's a little more 'grown up' before harvesting!
...After the joyous cat-sniffing session ended, Fu Xuan returned to the kitchen to make dinner.
Selene, on the other hand, was sprawled on the sofa, as if her body had been hollowed out!
Seeing Selene's 'giving up' demeanor, the System couldn't stand it anymore and decided to jump out and issue a quest!
[Host, please accept the quest!]
[Aren't you giving out quests a bit too frequently lately?]
[Just tell me if you'll accept it or not!]
[Stop with the nonsense! Just tell me!]
[Special Quest: Host, please complete a mandarin duck bath with Fu Xuan. Upon quest completion, the System Mall will unlock a pill to cure Mara-Struck. There is no time limit for this quest.]
[Main Quest: In the special category section of the System Mall, purchase any three items and have others use them! Note that the users of the three items cannot be the same person! stellar jade will be reimbursed by the System.]
[Upon quest completion, the Host can 'string along' more intensely during kisses... ah, no, it's 'can breathe normally'! Quest failure will result in the Host gaining the 'Easily Pushed Down Physique'.]
Selene: ... [System, do you have a family tree?]
[Host, what do you want to do?]
[I feel like the profanity etched into my bones can finally be put to use! Isn't this just wanting to practice with your family tree first?]
System: ... But then again, although the reward for the second quest is very strange, the reward for the first quest is truly good!
At least after completing it, Selene wouldn't have to worry about Fu Xuan falling into Mara-Struck in the future!
It's just that the difficulty of this quest is not low at all! At least for the somewhat complicated relationship between the two of them currently.
[Hmm! It seems... This Meow should be more proactive? I need to prepare quickly.]
