"Ugh! Damn it! Why haven't I drawn it yet? The deck is almost empty!" Selene grumbled inwardly.
Meanwhile, our Qingque finally drew a tile, and the tense expression on her face eased a little!
But suddenly, Qingque heard footsteps outside again!
Only this time, the footsteps were very light, so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't hear them at all!
Just like the Stupid Cat opposite her, she didn't hear them!
However, after listening carefully for a while, Qingque determined that these were not Fu Xuan's footsteps, so she didn't pay them any mind.
After all, many Diviners passed through her location every day.
At this moment, Selene, who was sitting opposite her, twitched her nose.
"Hmm? This Meow seems to smell a familiar scent! It seems to be from the Grand Diviner! Could it be that the Grand Diviner is here?"
At this moment, Fu Xuan, who was about to reach the Archives entrance, paused her steps! Her heart couldn't help but become uneasy!
Could it be? This Meow has been discovered again? That shouldn't be!
Hmm? No, wait! It was that Stupid Cat who discovered This Meow through scent, not Qingque!
Having figured this out, Fu Xuan walked to the Archives entrance in a few steps, then peered inside.
What met her eyes was a cat and a person sitting on opposite sides of a table, playing cards with great enthusiasm!
Judging from the tense expressions of the cat and the person, it must have been a critical moment in the game!
Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. After putting on her shoes outside the door, she slowly walked in!
At this moment, Qingque, who was playing cards with great enthusiasm, suddenly heard that familiar "thump-thump" sound!
Qingque:! The Grand Diviner is here again!
Qingque suddenly stood up, only to find that Fu Xuan had, at some point, already arrived beside her, staring at her with an unfriendly gaze.
Qingque forced an awkward smile and looked back at Fu Xuan.
"Hehe… Grand Diviner? Want a sip?"
Perhaps feeling the awkward atmosphere, Qingque picked up the teacup on the table and offered it to Fu Xuan, saying.
"Qing! Que!"
"Ah!"
...At this moment, all the Diviners in the Divination Commission looked towards the Archives.
Because they seemed to hear the Grand Diviner's voice and someone's scream coming from the Archives!
And at this moment, inside the Archives.
Selene immediately left the "mahjong table" and hid behind a bookshelf, silently watching the drama unfold!
This is called avoiding collateral damage! Everyone should learn from this! Mainly, the angry Grand Diviner's aura is really too strong!
"Hmph! Qingque, tell me, how should I punish you this time!" Fu Xuan's tone clearly carried a hint of anger.
Qingque pondered for a moment and cautiously asked, "How about? Deduct my salary?"
"Bang!"
Fu Xuan slammed her palm heavily on the card table, making a loud noise!
This caused both Qingque and Selene in the Archives to tremble.
"Ugh! Why suddenly slam the table! You scared This Meow to death!"
Hearing this inner thought, Fu Xuan's eyes, which held a hint of coldness, glanced at Selene.
Selene quickly shrank further into the bookshelf gap, trying to avoid the Grand Diviner's gaze!
However, Selene overlooked her size; the bookshelf gap was only wide enough for her to stick her head in, and her round body was directly stuck outside.
"It's over! Damn it, This Meow is stuck again! Ahhh! I definitely need to lose weight!"
Fu Xuan, who had witnessed Selene getting stuck the entire time, combined with this inner thought from her, couldn't hold back and let out a chuckle!
Qingque:???
Selene:???
Qingque: The Grand Diviner, she... couldn't have been angered into foolishness by me, could she?! Then my sin would truly be great!
Seeing Qingque's strange gaze, Fu Xuan quickly suppressed the smile on her face.
"Ahem! Qingque! This time, This Meow will punish you! For the next half month, you will start work one hour early every day! And today's salary will be deducted!" Fu Xuan's tone became serious again.
"No, Grand Diviner! How about you deduct all my salary for this month! Just don't make me start work early!" Qingque pleaded.
For Qingque, she didn't care at all if you deducted her money, but if you made her work an extra hour, she would truly break down and cry internally!
"No! If you say another word, then I'll extend your work day by another hour!" Fu Xuan said firmly.
Seeing this, Qingque immediately closed her mouth, not daring to speak again.
Only her expression was so aggrieved that she looked like she was about to cry!
Seeing this, Fu Xuan also quickly averted her gaze, otherwise, if she softened her heart and gave in later, it wouldn't be good! This time! She must make Qingque learn her lesson!
However, as soon as Fu Xuan turned her head aside, she saw that Stupid Cat with her head stuck!
Fu Xuan: ...This Meow has tried her best to look fierce and angry, but now she really can't hold it in! How can a cat get herself stuck three times?! If you can't get through, don't you know to back up?!
At this moment, what Selene was thinking was.
"Forget it, if I'm stuck, I'm stuck. From this angle, I can't see the Grand Diviner anyway, so she probably won't notice me!"
"After she finishes scolding Qingque, she should come and rescue me, right?!"
"What a shame for my good hand! This game was a sure win! It was all ruined by this bad guy!"
Listening to Selene's inner thoughts, Fu Xuan's mouth twitched, and her hands clenched tighter!
"Um? Grand Diviner, you see that little cat has been stuck for so long, and I see you're quite worried, why not go and rescue her?" Qingque, seeing that Fu Xuan hadn't spoken and her gaze was fixed on Selene, tentatively asked.
Upon hearing this, the first to react was Selene.
"What a good person! As expected of Qingque! My little wife! She really is considerate! She still remembers This Meow at a time like this!"
Fu Xuan: Hmm? Qingque is your little wife? No, this Stupid Cat must be talking nonsense again!
Although she thought this, Fu Xuan still gave Qingque a strange glance, then haughtily snorted and walked over to Selene.
Seeing this, Qingque also breathed a sigh of relief! As long as Fu Xuan's attention wasn't on her, she was happy!
As for Fu Xuan, she wrapped her arms around Selene's belly and tried to pull her out.
It must be said that this Stupid Cat was really stuck tight! Fu Xuan tried for a while and ultimately had to choose to move the bookshelf to free Selene!
Fu Xuan: How did this fellow manage to do this? How could she get herself stuck so tightly?!
Before Fu Xuan could complain much more, Selene's inner thoughts echoed in her ears again!
What Fu Xuan didn't expect was that after Selene came out, her first thought wasn't to thank her! Instead, she thanked Qingque!
"Ugh! Thanks to my little wife Qingque! If she hadn't mentioned This Meow, I can't imagine how much longer I would have been stuck!"
Fu Xuan: My fists are hardening! Selene!!! You're going to get it tonight!
Fu Xuan scooped Selene into her arms, her grip a little stronger than usual, seemingly a bit angry.
Fu Xuan also didn't plan to stay here much longer; she was going to take Selene and leave the Archives, as she still had a lot of work to attend to!
