As for why Fu Xuan didn't leave Selene here, the reason was naturally that she was afraid this person and this cat would get together to play cards again!
To prevent such a thing from happening, Fu Xuan naturally had to take Selene with her!
However, at this moment, Selene began to struggle in Fu Xuan's arms, meowing incessantly!
Others naturally didn't understand Selene's meaning, but Fu Xuan was very clear, having heard Selene's thoughts!
"Ahhh! Put me down! Let me win this round before I go! I've been playing all afternoon! It's rare to get such a good hand!"
Qingque, who was nearby, saw Selene's gaze fixed on the card table and roughly guessed Selene's meaning.
So, Qingque cautiously said, "That Grand Diviner, this Little Kitten probably wants to finish this game with me. What do you think..."
Qingque didn't finish her sentence, but Fu Xuan naturally understood her meaning.
Fu Xuan didn't speak immediately, but instead pondered whether she should agree.
But when Fu Xuan saw the expectant eyes of Selene and Qingque, she finally sighed.
"Fine, This Meow will indulge you this once!"
After Fu Xuan finished speaking, she placed Selene, who was in her arms, on the ground.
Selene, on the other hand, leaped onto the card table impatiently.
A look of joy also appeared on Qingque's face, and then she sat on the other side of the card table.
As for Fu Xuan, she stood behind Selene, looking at Selene's excellent hand!
...On the card table, Selene extended her cat paw and drew a card from the discard pile.
Selene turned over the card and found that she had drawn a "one wan" written in Xianzhou script.
This made Selene fall into thought, because the winning tile she needed now was a fish, which is a "one sou" in Mahjong.
But in the discard pile, there were already two fish, plus the fish in her hand, so at most, there was only one fish left in the tile pile!
This was not even considering if that fish was in Qingque's hand; if it was, Selene's hand would be ruined!
But now that she had drawn a "one wan," she had a new choice, which was to discard the fish and change to "one wan" as her winning tile! After all, only one "one wan" had appeared on the table so far.
And Selene was pondering whether to make the change.
Fu Xuan, standing behind her, saw Selene deep in thought, not playing her hand for a long time, so she spoke to remind her, "Change the tile. The chances are better if you change it!"
Hearing this, Selene turned to look at Fu Xuan, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if to say, "Does Diviner Fu also play cards?!"
"Hmm? Why are you looking at This Meow!"
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Meow! (Do I really have to change it? But This Meow doesn't want to!)"
Selene meowed at Fu Xuan, while mentally expressing her reluctance to change.
"Hmph! Trust This Meow! Change this tile! You're sure to win against Qingque!"
Fu Xuan snorted haughtily.
"Meow! (This Meow will trust you this once)"
Selene meowed and discarded the fish in her hand, replacing it with the "one wan."
Seeing this, Qingque reached out and drew a card from the tile pile, but it was clearly not what she wanted, so she discarded it directly.
Seeing this, Selene extended her cat paw and drew another card, and then she froze!
Because the new tile she drew was actually the only remaining fish!
If she hadn't discarded that fish just now, she would have already won!
Thinking of this, Selene instantly turned to look at Fu Xuan, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Ah, this! This Meow didn't expect..."
Fu Xuan's eyes darted away, and she spoke hesitantly, clearly feeling a little guilty.
Seeing Selene's disappointed look, Fu Xuan could only reach out and stroke her Little Kitten's head as a form of comfort.
"You trust This Meow! There are still two of this tile left! You will definitely draw it!"
Seeing that Selene was still sullen, Fu Xuan began to paint a rosy picture for her.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Little Kitten, who had originally been lowering her head, instantly looked up again and continued to reach her cat paw into the tile pile to draw a card!
...Ultimately, the result of this game was that there was no winner.
Selene and Qingque neither won nor lost, because both had a ready hand but neither won!
When Selene finished drawing the last tile and still hadn't drawn that "one wan"! Her eyes instantly widened! They were filled with disbelief!
You said there were still two left?! How come all the tiles are drawn, and This Meow hasn't seen a single one?!
Seeing Selene's expression, Qingque, sitting opposite her, took out two tiles from her own hand.
"Are you... looking for these two tiles?"
Qingque asked, holding two "one wan" tiles in her hand.
Selene: ... Fu Xuan: ... Selene instantly turned to look at Fu Xuan, meowing at her incessantly (in short, grumbling and cursing).
"Ahem! Don't be angry! This Meow will buy you something delicious tonight, okay?!"
Fu Xuan's tone was like coaxing a child, but she had no choice but to do so, after all, this matter was indeed her fault. If she hadn't suggested changing the tile, Selene might have won long ago.
And upon hearing about delicious food, Selene's anger instantly dissipated, after all, what else could compare to delicious food?!
"Forget it! Anyway, there's delicious food, so This Meow won't fuss with Diviner Fu this time, but from this, it can be seen that Diviner Fu's card skills are indeed not very good!"
Fu Xuan: ???
Our tsundere Diviner Fu, upon hearing this thought, was very unconvinced!
"Hmph! This Meow's card skills aren't good?! Watch This Meow make you two, one person and one cat, cry today!"
Fu Xuan thought this to herself, and in the shocked eyes of the person and the cat, she sat on the other side of the card table.
"Diviner Fu? What are you doing?"
Qingque asked.
"Ahem! This Meow feels that this qiongyu cards is quite interesting, so This Meow also wants to play a round! But This Meow will only play one round!"
Fu Xuan emphasized.
"Oh, oh! Good, good! Then let's go! Diviner Fu!"
Qingque said, delighted.
Selene, however, found it strange. How could Fu Xuan, who always worked hard, suddenly play cards during work hours?
Fu Xuan: To prove This Meow's worth in front of you, you silly cat! Hmph!
...Two hours later, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the clouds in the sky were replaced by twinkling stars.
Inside the Archives, there were occasional sounds of mahjong tiles clattering, as well as the loud shouts of a certain Grand Diviner calling out tile names, plus her unwilling but stubborn words after losing!
"Hmph! Again, again! This Meow will definitely win the next round!"
Fu Xuan slapped the table, her slightly puffed-up cheeks looking very cute.
Selene looked at Fu Xuan and couldn't help but inwardly chuckle!
Ever since Fu Xuan joined the card game, her win rate had soared!
Mainly, every time, Fu Xuan practically fed the "food" into her mouth; it was hard not to win!
"Diviner Fu is truly a good person! Every round she gives me the tiles I need to win! She's practically a great philanthropist! No! She's a great sage!"
Hearing this thought, Fu Xuan's lips curled up slightly. It seemed she was very pleased with Selene's praise for her!
