In a short while, the water was boiling.
Selene had originally thought that Fu Xuan would pour the water into a bowl or cup, then add the medicinal tea concocted by Bailu.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xuan put the medicinal tea into the pot, covered it, and continued to simmer it.
At the same time, Selene received another task from the system.
This made Selene unable to help but complain, the frequency of the system issuing tasks today was a bit too frequent!
"Please, Host, accept the new task! Taste the medicinal tea personally brewed by Fu Xuan. Completing the task will increase the time you can spend in human form by half an hour. There is no penalty for failing the task."
Hmm? It's just tasting the medicinal tea? That's actually not bad, right? I just have to sneak a sip when Fu Xuan isn't around!
However, the good thing was that there was no penalty even if she failed, so she didn't have too many worries.
Fu Xuan: "Hmm? This Stupid Cat wants to drink my medicinal tea? But can a cat really drink this stuff? And she said she wants to sneak a drink when I'm not around!"
"Forget it, if she really wants to drink it, I can't stop her. I might as well let her try a sip. It shouldn't cause any problems, and even if there are problems, I can save her..."
About ten minutes later, Fu Xuan walked into the kitchen with the cat bowl she had bought for Selene after work, then poured a little of the medicinal tea from the pot into the cat bowl.
"Do you want to try it? If not, I'll pour it out for you."
Fu Xuan looked at Selene and asked.
Hearing this, Selene was instantly excited!
Good heavens! She was just wondering how to complete the task, but the Grand Diviner knew her so well!
"Meow, meow, meow!"
Selene kept meowing, wanting to express that she wanted to drink it. She even kept nodding, afraid that Fu Xuan wouldn't understand her meaning.
Seeing Selene's appearance, Fu Xuan couldn't help but smile. This Stupid Cat was indeed quite cute.
Perhaps Fu Xuan herself didn't realize that since she picked up Selene, she had smiled more today than she had in an entire month!
...After confirming that Selene wanted to drink, Fu Xuan opened the sugar jar, then scooped up a spoonful of white sugar and added it to the cat bowl.
Originally, Selene was quite happy to see Fu Xuan add a spoonful of white sugar, because she also liked sweets.
But... Selene watched as Fu Xuan added one spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls... continuously adding sugar, and instantly became flustered!
This was practically a lethal dose! Although she liked sweet things, this was too much!
However, Fu Xuan didn't think she added too much. After stirring the sugar and medicinal tea evenly, she placed it in front of Selene.
"Alright, try it. How is it?"
Fu Xuan said, casually stroking Selene's little head.
Selene glanced at Fu Xuan, then at the medicinal tea in her cat bowl. Helpless, she could only stick out her pink little tongue and begin to taste the medicinal tea personally made by Fu Xuan!
The medicinal tea had a faint herbal fragrance upon entering her mouth, and it wasn't unpleasant to drink. It had a refreshing feeling, followed by an intense sweetness!
This level of sweetness, for Selene, was so sweet that it was cloying. In short, Selene didn't like it and even found it difficult to swallow.
But, looking at Fu Xuan's expectant eyes, Selene couldn't bear to spit it out and forced herself to swallow it!
Fortunately, Fu Xuan hadn't given her too much medicinal tea. With a little endurance, Selene drank all of it!
"How is it? Is the medicinal tea I brewed to your taste?"
Fu Xuan asked.
Selene nodded reluctantly, but her thoughts were heard clearly by Fu Xuan.
"It's good, it's just too sweet, cloyingly sweet! If the sweetness were a little lighter, it would be perfect."
"So that's how it is. It seems her tolerance for sweetness is quite a bit weaker than mine."
Fu Xuan thought to herself, deciding to use less sugar for Selene next time... At seven in the evening, the sky over Xianzhou gradually darkened, covered with countless stars, looking incredibly beautiful.
At such a time, if one could lie on the grass, quietly watch the stars, and experience nature, it would be an incredibly exciting thing...
In Fu Xuan's home, Fu Xuan sat on the sofa reading a book, with a cup of medicinal tea on the coffee table beside her.
As for Selene, she was sleeping on Fu Xuan's lap.
After all, now that she was a cat, her living habits were very similar to those of a real cat, spending most of her day sleeping.
However, she didn't sleep for too long before Selene woke up from her dream.
Just after waking up, her mind wasn't very clear. She only felt that she was stepping on something soft and comfortable!
But very quickly, Selene realized that she was currently stepping on the Grand Diviner's lap!
Selene was instantly bewildered. She remembered that she had been sleeping on the sofa just now? When did she end up on the Grand Diviner's lap?
And Fu Xuan, who was reading, listened to Selene's thoughts, her face devoid of any expression.
She certainly wouldn't tell this Stupid Cat that she had picked her up and placed her on her lap after she fell asleep!
As for the reason, she simply found the other party's fur soft and comfortable to have on her body!
But very quickly, Fu Xuan regretted it, because... Selene's thoughts started to become improper again.
"Hehehe! The Grand Diviner's legs... so smooth and soft! Sleeping on them is too comfortable! I really want to knead them with my paws. The Grand Diviner shouldn't get angry, right?"
Selene thought this to herself, and very boldly used her paw pads to knead Fu Xuan's smooth, jade-like legs. This made Fu Xuan's pretty face flush, and then she kicked Selene off!
"Hmph! This Stupid Cat! She actually dared to knead!"
"Huh? Why did the Grand Diviner suddenly get upset? It was just a light knead with my paws! But it doesn't matter! I kneaded them anyway! No loss!"
Fu Xuan: "...I really want to hold this fellow in my arms and knead her hard!"
At this moment, Selene naturally saw the change in Fu Xuan's expression.
As a cat who understood how to read expressions, she could tell at a glance! The Grand Diviner was unhappy!
So at a time like this! She should just run away! Or hide and avoid the storm!
And so... Fu Xuan watched as Selene quickly darted under the sofa, and then she heard Selene's thoughts again, saying she was stuck...
"Why is there a cat who gets stuck in the same place twice? Is this Stupid Cat's brain filled with nothing but dirty thoughts?!"
Fu Xuan thought this to herself, but this time, she didn't immediately rescue Selene.
Because she was going to cook, and during this time, she definitely wouldn't be able to keep an eye on Selene. Who knew what other mischief she would get into? It was better to leave her stuck!
