Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The House

Fu Xuan's expression couldn't help but turn a bit serious, but she quickly let it go.

She could even hear what this Little one was thinking. If she could accept something so unbelievable, then not being able to deduce her fate didn't seem so bad, did it?

Meanwhile, Selene, who was being tormented by the hairdryer, saw Fu Xuan's constantly changing expression and thought she was being too noisy, making Fu Xuan unhappy! She quickly closed her mouth and quietly let her fur be dried.

Fu Xuan, on the other hand, found it strange. This Little one suddenly became quiet. Could she have been scared silly?

But Fu Xuan quickly dismissed this thought, because... [Hehe! The Grand Diviner will be taking a bath later, so will I have a chance to peek?!]

Fu Xuan: ...You can try...

After drying Selene's fur, Fu Xuan directly tossed her into the Living Room.

Then she walked into her own room and started rummaging through the wardrobe for clothes.

Selene, meanwhile, stealthily walked to the door of Fu Xuan's Bedroom, peeking inside with her small head.

Compared to the Xianzhou-style decor of the Living Room, the decoration of Fu Xuan's Bedroom was quite different!

The walls were alternating light purple and light pink, and the ceiling was covered with many clouds. Hmm? No, that's not right! Why were those clouds moving?!

But what she didn't expect was, did the Grand Diviner actually like such a pink and tender decor? How cute!

Naturally, everything Selene was thinking was heard by Fu Xuan.

Originally, when Fu Xuan heard Selene's shock at the moving clouds on the ceiling, she felt a little secretly pleased.

"Hmph! Stupid Cat! There are many more magical things in my room!"

However, when she heard Selene say, in a surprised tone, that her room was pink and tender and praised her for being cute, she couldn't help but blush, as if her secret, hidden in her heart, had been discovered and spoken aloud!

...Fu Xuan chose her clothes, walked out of the Bedroom, and closed the Bedroom door.

Fu Xuan glanced at Selene by her feet, ignored her, and turned to enter the bathroom to prepare for a bath.

Selene's attention, however, was on the clothes Fu Xuan was holding.

It was a long dress, designed somewhat like a 'one-piece dress.' From its style, it was Xianzhou-ian, somewhat similar to the clothing from the Tang Dynasty on Blue Star.

The overall color of the dress was white, it looked very loose, and it was embroidered with some floral decorations. However, Selene couldn't recognize what kind of flowers they were, probably unique to Xianzhou.

Hmm... The Grand Diviner will definitely have a unique beauty when she wears this dress!

...While Selene was thinking, Fu Xuan had already closed the bathroom door and began to undress for her bath.

Outside, Selene could hear the rustling sounds of clothes being taken off.

[Host, please accept a new mission! During Fu Xuan's bath, mess up the room as much as possible! Upon completing the mission, the Host can view the system panel. If the mission fails, the Host will be forcibly transformed into human form for half an hour in front of Fu Xuan.]

Seeing this new mission, Selene was taken aback. Mess up the room as much as possible? So how messy counted as completing the mission?

And Fu Xuan kindly took her in, and she was going to mess up her room as soon as she arrived? Isn't that really too much?!

As if knowing Selene's concerns, the system's voice sounded again.

[Host, don't worry, Fu Xuan will not be angry. Besides, most cats mess up homes, and Fu Xuan can completely accept it.]

Ah, this... Helpless, since the system had said this much, and she also didn't want Fu Xuan to find out so soon that she wasn't a normal pet cat, she could only... [Once again, I'm sorry! My dear Grand Diviner! You must forgive This Meow!]

At this moment, Fu Xuan, who had just completely undressed, inexplicably heard Selene's apology.

Fu Xuan: ??? What is this Stupid Cat up to now?

Realizing something was about to happen, Fu Xuan quickly put her clothes back on, then opened the door and walked out.

Coincidentally... Selene was just about to act, even biting onto a sofa cushion, ready to pull it onto the floor.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Selene's heart jumped, and she instinctively turned her head to look!

For a moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward... "What are you? Doing?"

Fu Xuan looked at Selene and asked.

Selene: ...I can't exactly tell you I'm messing up the house, can I?

Fu Xuan: Alright, alright, so you're messing up the house while I'm bathing!

Selene quickly let go, dropping the sofa cushion she had in her mouth, then meowed very obediently at Fu Xuan, as if she was acting spoiled.

However, Fu Xuan wasn't falling for it, after all, she could hear what Selene was thinking!

Fu Xuan took a few steps forward, directly picked up Selene by the scruff of her neck, and said with a hint of threat in her tone: "Listen, if you dare to cause trouble in my house, I will not let you off lightly!"

After speaking, Fu Xuan turned and walked back into the bathroom, ready to enjoy a good bath!

At the same time, she thought to herself, after this threat, this Little one surely wouldn't dare to mess up the house again, right?

However... Selene's subsequent thoughts left her somewhat speechless.

[Hehe! I knew my Fu Xuan would look good in this white dress! She's simply like a fairy descended from the heavens!!! So beautiful!]

Fu Xuan: ...So? Did she really listen to what I just said?

..."Whoosh!"

The sound of water came from the bathroom, and Selene knew her chance had come!

She bit the sofa cushion again without hesitation, then dragged it onto the floor, and didn't even spare the sofa covers, pulling them all off!

But at this moment, she still hadn't heard the system prompt that the mission was complete. In desperation, Selene had to pull down the pillows from the sofa as well, but the system still didn't respond... It wasn't until Selene had messed up almost everything in the Living Room that she heard the system prompt that the mission was complete.

Selene: You call this 'as much as possible'? How is this any different from demolishing the house?!

[Actually, after the Host removed the sofa covers, the mission was already complete.]

Selene: ??? Then why didn't you say so earlier?!

[Well, I saw you were having so much fun messing things up, so I didn't have the heart to interrupt.]

Selene: I ****!!!!

However, no matter how much she cursed the system, it no longer responded to her. (It is assumed that Fu Xuan cannot hear conversations with the system.)

After cursing for a while longer, Selene felt her anger subside quite a bit.

But when she looked at the Living Room, that Living Room, messier than a dog's kennel, sent shivers down her spine!

This?! The Grand Diviner would surely devour her alive, wouldn't she?!
