"Hey, this world doesn't have Durandal anyway. Surely Durandal won't show up that day too, right?"

When Qing Que saw the little Kiana in front of her speak in a childish voice and say, "Hello, big sisters," a surge of girlish affection suddenly welled up in her chest.

It even temporarily suppressed Qing Que's desire to slack off and play cards.

Fu Xuan's heart stirred slightly as well, but with Qing Que present, she had to maintain the dignity of the Supreme Diviner, so she did not show it as openly as Qing Que had.

But when she saw Qing Que pull Kiana into her arms and rub her face vigorously against hers,

Fu Xuan suddenly felt a little envious.

"Qing Que, stop rubbing against her."

Out of respect for the Supreme Diviner behind her, Qing Que was reluctant, but she still set Kiana down.

"Little Durandal, where do you live? It's so late already. Your family must be worried. We'll take you home, okay?"

Although she knew Qing Que only wanted to keep slacking off instead of returning to work with her,

Fu Xuan could not bring herself to object.

After all, it would be terrible to let such an adorable little girl wander outside at this hour, especially with trouble constantly brewing on the Luofu lately.

So Fu Xuan simply turned a blind eye to Qing Que's behavior.

Meanwhile, Qing Que thought: Yes! This little girl really is my lucky star. She stopped the Supreme Diviner from lecturing me. By the time I take her home, it'll be time to get off work anyway.

"Home?"

The text was corrupted and could not be translated.

"Little girl, where are your father and mother?"

"Father? Mother?"

Whether it was Qing Que or Fu Xuan, both fell silent.

Even Fu Xuan, who had always presented a stern exterior, was now looking at Little Kiana with a loving gaze.

In their minds, they had already constructed a tragic family story.

"Little girl, do you have anywhere to go right now?"

Kiana thought about the inn Jing Yuan had arranged. She felt it would be dangerous to return there, so she ruled that place out.

Then she thought of the temporary residence Kafka had taken her to. That did not seem suitable either.

Especially since Kiana was worried about how far Silver Wolf's game had progressed. What if it had already reached the final lesson, or even further? Wouldn't going there now be like walking straight into a trap?

So Kiana shook her head.

But precisely because of that, Fu Xuan and Qing Que imagined that, due to the recent chaos, the girl's parents had both died, leaving her to wander the streets alone.

Whenever things reached this point, one could not help sighing.

Fortunately, Kiana could not read minds. Otherwise, if HoT had come here, she would probably have shouted:

"Are you people sick?!"

"Little Durandal, do you want to come to my house?"

"Come to my house instead. Don't teach this child badly."

Kiana and Qing Que both turned their heads in unison and looked at Fu Xuan.

They had not expected the impartial Supreme Diviner to say something like that.

"What is it, Qing Que? Do you have some objection to me?"

"No. The Supreme Diviner is beautiful and kind-hearted. This humble one is merely too awestruck by your greatness."

"Hmph!"

Faced with Qing Que's flattery, Fu Xuan merely snorted.

Did Qing Que really think Fu Xuan did not know what she was thinking?

Even without divination, Fu Xuan had already guessed that Qing Que was probably thinking: I can't believe Fu Xuan is this kind-hearted. I thought she was going to dump the girl on the Cloud-to-Guard.

And so, Fu Xuan ignored the astonished Qing Que, walked straight over to Kiana, and took the little girl's hand. She first returned to the Divination Department, then brought Kiana back to her own home after work.

Kiana sat on Fu Xuan's soft bed, when a question suddenly began circling in her mind.

"Could it be that I have some kind of 'always attracting mothers' constitution?"

At first, when I had just arrived, I turned into a little cat, and then Asta became my guardian in name.

After arriving on the train, there was Himeko, my train-mom.

When I came to Belobog, although it was just for fun, Cocolia and Kafka had more or less taken advantage of me too.

And now I've arrived at the Xianzhou Luofu...

She looked at Fu Xuan, who was searching for pajamas from when she was young, intending to let Kiana wear them for now and buy her new pajamas tomorrow.

"This is bad. Other people are looking for wives. Why have I found so many mothers?"

Chapter 70: Fu Xuan in the Bathroom—White Stockings, Cute, Want!

"Come and try these. They're my old pajamas. Let's see if they fit you."

"By the way, these are clothes I bought before but never wore. Since you didn't bring a change of clothes, wear these tomorrow."

Looking at the pile of clothes and accessories Fu Xuan had brought out, as well as the heap of white stockings of various lengths,

Kiana could not help wondering whether Fu Xuan especially liked white stockings.

And whether Fu Xuan had started treating her like a doll.

After crawling out of the sea of white stockings, Kiana discovered that Fu Xuan had somehow begun undressing.

Once the collar at the back of Fu Xuan's clothes, which had held them in place, was removed, the cords instantly loosened and fell to the floor.

As the cords came undone, Fu Xuan's clothes slid down her slender waist, revealing a back as white as jade before Kiana's eyes.

At present, Fu Xuan was wearing nothing but underwear, while the pantyhose remained on her legs.

Even though Kiana had seen bodies like this before—she had even seen Little March's front countless times—

looking at Fu Xuan's body in those white stockings gave her an inexplicably suggestive feeling.

"Come on, I'll help you bathe. Let's get to bed early tonight."

Fu Xuan removed her last piece of underwear, placed it in the storage box, and walked over to Kiana.

She pulled Kiana to her feet in one motion.

Dazed, Kiana was led to the bathroom by Fu Xuan, who was wearing nothing but a pair of white stockings.

Only after entering the bathroom and placing Kiana on a little stool did Fu Xuan brace herself against the wall, rise onto her toes, remove the stockings from her legs, and toss them onto the floor.

"Don't move around. I'm going to wash your hair."

Only then did Kiana realize that the Supreme Diviner of the Xianzhou Luofu was actually such a childish girl in private.

Looking at the enormous bathing pool, Kiana felt that even an ordinary hot-spring inn would be no better.

Besides flower petals, several adorable little ducks were swimming across the surface of the pool.

"Quack, quack."

Kiana rested her chin on the edge of the pool and watched Fu Xuan continue washing herself.

Bored, Kiana picked up one of the little ducks beside her and squeezed it in her hand.

And because she was bored, Kiana's gaze wandered as she examined everything in the bathroom.

Then, "unintentionally," she looked through the mirror and saw two tender little peaks emerging like the tips of newly sprouted shoots, as if waiting for Kiana to pluck them.

Following the image reflected in the mirror, Kiana's gaze involuntarily moved downward.

A question that had troubled Kiana for a long time appeared in her mind once more.

"Normally, most human body hair is black or brown. Because of bloodlines, it may sometimes be golden, and a lack of melanin can also result in white hair."

"But in anime worlds, everyone's hair comes in all sorts of colors. What about the hair in other places?"

This question had troubled Kiana for a long time, but she had only bathed with Asta, March 7th, and Stelle.

Including herself, and possibly Herta in doll form, that made five people at most.

But this question still continued to trouble Kiana.

Could it be that she would finally be able to solve it today?

A delicate jade-like neck and alluring collarbones.

Small, tender buns just waiting to bloom.

Her slender jade fingers were wiping her chest, while a delicate little waist also appeared before Kiana's eyes.

If she continued, she would soon have her answer!

Unfortunately, the lower part of the mirror had been splashed with water. As the bathroom gradually heated up, a layer of mist appeared across its surface.

It blocked Kiana's path to knowledge.

"Little one, what are you looking at?"

Fu Xuan had noticed Kiana's blatant gaze long ago, but since they were both female and the other was only a child, Fu Xuan had not paid it any mind.

She had merely assumed that Kiana was curious because Fu Xuan was a stranger, and that after becoming separated from her family and being taken in, the girl simply did not want Fu Xuan to leave her sight.

But that gaze was becoming far too intense.

Finally, after Fu Xuan had finished washing herself and was about to enter the pool to soak, she could no longer endure it and spoke up.

"Nothing. I just think Big Sister Fu Xuan is so beautiful. I'm really envious."

Fu Xuan reached out to test the water temperature, then raised one foot and placed it on the edge of the pool, lightly touching the surface with her toes.

After confirming that the temperature was just right, she slowly lowered both legs into the water, her body gradually sinking in as well.

Looking at the little Kiana beside her, Fu Xuan often encountered people flattering her because of her position as Supreme Diviner.

Yet at that moment, her heart still felt warm and sweet.

She rubbed Kiana's head and said with a gentle smile that outsiders had never seen:

"Good girl, you're very pretty too. When you grow up, you'll definitely become a stunning beauty, talented in every way. Even that member of Penacony's Family will be overshadowed by your radiance."

The corner of Kiana's mouth twitched.

Praising someone is fine, but why do people from both Shenzhou and the Xianzhou especially like comparing children to someone else whenever they praise them?

At this point, it was still necessary to mention that fortunately, Kiana could not read minds.

Otherwise, she would probably expose her identity and flee Fu Xuan's clutches right then and there.

In an ordinary family, saying someone would be talented in every way might just be casual praise.

But Fu Xuan was different. She had already arranged Kiana's future plans: school, various arts, and even her own divination techniques, all of which Fu Xuan intended to teach her without holding anything back.

She was still young, and Qing Que was still young as well.

If nothing unexpected happened, then this little Durandal beside her—if she possessed outstanding talent—would certainly have a place in the future Divination Department. Becoming the next Supreme Diviner was even what Fu Xuan hoped for her.

Qing Que: Yes! One more successor for the Supreme Diviner. Maybe I won't get caught slacking off anymore!

Fortunately, Fu Xuan was not much of a talker. She simply soaked in the pool and enjoyed this moment of peace.

Perhaps it was because her body had become smaller.

Without realizing it, Kiana actually fell asleep with her head resting against the edge of the pool.

"Oh, you little thing."

Hearing the faint snores beside her, Fu Xuan sighed and ended her relaxing time early.

She carried Little Kiana out of the pool in her arms, dried herself and the girl, then changed Kiana into pajamas and placed her on the bed.

Fu Xuan, meanwhile, worked late into the night, still needing to deal with the mountain of affairs that had piled up at home, including those Jing Yuan had handed to her.

Only after everyone on the streets had returned home to rest, and every household had turned off its lights and fallen into dreamland, did Fu Xuan finally stretch.
