Kafka took off her leather jacket and long boots. For some reason, she even pulled out her phone and took several selfies while lying on the bed.
Kiana was already preparing to rest when a strange account suddenly sent her a message. She assumed it was spam.
Then she saw the selfies Kafka had sent.
"Wuu!"
Because of Silver Wolf's unusual behavior that day, along with the inexplicably provocative selfies Kafka had sent, Kiana did not sleep very deeply.
Because of that, when Fu Xuan returned that night, Kiana woke up. However, she kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
Hearing the rustling sounds of Fu Xuan taking off her clothes, Kiana imagined that with just one turn, she would be able to see a beautiful sight.
Kiana suddenly felt a little hot inside.
At that moment, the photos Kafka had sent earlier also appeared in Kiana's mind.
Kafka had a graceful, curvaceous figure. Every frown and smile made one's blood surge, while her exquisite makeup and pale-purple contact lenses made her seem like an enchantress who could steal a person's soul.
Beside Kiana, Fu Xuan was changing clothes.
If Kafka's defining word was allure,
then Fu Xuan's might be cuteness.
Her bearing and attitude were clearly those of an older woman, yet her appearance was so adorable. The clothes fastened with knots made people unable to resist wondering what kind of scene would appear if those knots were undone.
Her white one-piece stockings also carried a hint of holiness, yet Fu Xuan's delicate skin was perfectly suited to the white stockings.
It made one want to raise those little feet in white stockings high and savor them carefully.
By then, Fu Xuan had taken off the clothes she had worn during the day, lifted the covers, and climbed into bed.
Feeling the touch pressed against her back, occasionally teasing her nerves, and the arm wrapped around her waist, its fingertips brushing across her side,
Kiana felt that if she were not currently a child, she probably would have lost control already.
Fu Xuan seemed to have finally found the most comfortable way to hold her "body pillow."
Feeling the warm breath by her ear, Kiana desperately restrained herself from moving. Eventually, in a daze, she drifted into a dream.
The next day, Kiana did not go to the Divination Department.
She stayed in bed until noon. During that time, as usual, Qing Que came knocking when it was time to go to work, looking for Kiana so they could head to the Divination Department.
But Kiana was still wearing the pajamas Fu Xuan had bought her when she came to the door.
When Qing Que saw Kiana come out dressed like that, she hurriedly pushed her back into the room.
"Why do you look so listless? Are you all right? Don't tell me you're sick."
After discovering that Kiana had no fever or signs of a cold, Qing Que figured she had merely slept poorly.
Qing Que told Kiana not to go outside and said she would bring her something to eat at noon before closing the door.
It was not until the sun hung high in the sky that Qing Que brought over the food and Star Taro Bobo. Only then did Kiana get out of bed and take a bite.
The first thing she did after eating was not anything else, but taking a bath.
When she came out after bathing, she discovered that Fu Xuan had actually returned—and had even brought someone with her.
"Huh!"
"Wait, why is Kafka here too? Wait, could it be that the three of us are going to do it together?"
Perhaps because she had not slept well the previous night, combined with what had happened the day before, Kiana's mind was now completely occupied by lewd thoughts.
Fortunately, Kiana's mouth was still under control.
Otherwise, if Fu Xuan had heard that sentence, Kiana would probably have been sent to school for an education.
Here, have some Kafka.jpg
Help Me Tell Elio: Nicely Done!
Fu Xuan did not even have time to worry about Kafka, who was restrained nearby. When she saw Kiana casually walk out of the bathroom without properly dressing herself, wrapped only in a bath towel, she hurriedly pushed Kiana back inside.
Kiana was pressed back down onto a little chair. She watched as Fu Xuan helped dry her damp hair, then instructed her not to come out yet.
After Fu Xuan pushed open the bathroom door and left, she returned with a change of clothes.
Only after Kiana had changed did Fu Xuan lead her out.
"Kiana, this bad woman isn't my friend. She's a Stellaron Hunter, a wanted criminal, and a bad person—the very bad kind."
Apparently worried that Kiana would not understand, Fu Xuan acted like a parent teaching a child. She even drew circles in the air with both hands in an exaggerated gesture.
But then she remembered that Kiana was capable enough to help her process documents, and Fu Xuan suddenly felt her actions were unnecessary.
Aha: "I'm the one who handled those! I'm the one who gave Kiana cheats and helped you process them!"
"I wasn't comfortable leaving her in a cell and letting two Stellaron Hunters meet. Besides, I still need to extract information from her."
"Her abilities have been sealed for now, so I brought her home temporarily. But Durandal, you must be careful too. Don't let her sweet talk deceive you."
For some reason, when she heard Fu Xuan's words, March 7th's figure flashed through Kiana's mind.
"Don't let a bad woman deceive you."
Emm...
This was bad. Her recent life had been far too leisurely.
Being fed during the day and held by Fu Xuan to sleep at night had nearly made her forget March 7th and the others.
She had been away for so long. It was about time she went back.
Seeing Kiana standing there in a daze, Fu Xuan assumed that she had not understood the situation.
She pinched Little Kiana's smooth, tender cheek, then repeated what she had just said.
When Kiana nodded, Fu Xuan finally released her with satisfaction.
Kiana had thought Fu Xuan would begin interrogating Kafka or use divination to obtain the answers.
But Fu Xuan's next action was actually to walk over to the dressing table.
She took out a pile of things and placed them on the table in front of Kafka.
Kiana leaned over and took a look. There was makeup remover, tweezers and a suction stick for removing contact lenses, tissues, and several tools whose names she did not know.
If makeup kits existed, then what Fu Xuan had taken out this time was a makeup-removal kit.
Watching Fu Xuan's next actions, Kiana suddenly understood why, during the Xianzhou storyline,
Kafka had seemed somehow different when she appeared again after being captured.
It turned out that Fu Xuan had removed Kafka's makeup.
Kafka was calm at first. But when she saw Fu Xuan pour several entire bottles of makeup remover together, Kafka finally panicked.
"Wait, you..."
"Quiet!"
Fu Xuan shouted with great authority. For some unknown reason,
Kafka seemed to lose the ability to resist, just like those whom she controlled with her Spirit Whisper.
With an expression as if she were about to die, she was pressed down onto the sofa by Fu Xuan.
After half an hour of torment, Kafka finally escaped Fu Xuan's clutches.
Kafka also finally returned to her original appearance.
Although everyone knew that people wore a little light makeup when they went out, still...
Kafka looked like an entirely different person after removing her makeup.
Before, she had been a mature beauty with an alluring, glamorous air. Her enchanting, unfocused contact lenses tugged at the heartstrings, while her bright lipstick made people want to press Kafka into a corner and carefully savor its taste.
But now, Kafka looked purer and far more youthful.
She also gave off a more comfortable feeling.
After Fu Xuan put everything away, she suddenly turned around and said to Kiana,
"You mustn't imitate this bad woman. In the future, you can wear a little light makeup. Light makeup can conceal flaws and enhance your charm..."
But after sizing up Kiana, Fu Xuan suddenly paused.
She felt that this perfect face, seemingly sculpted personally by a god, did not have anywhere that needed concealing.
"Forget it. Pretend I said nothing. But... have you grown taller?"
"I think so."
"Mm. You're at the age when your body is growing. Don't eat junk food anymore. I'll hold on to the snacks those people gave you for now."
Watching the two of them converse like mother and daughter, Kafka, who knew the truth, lay on the sofa and could not help laughing.
"Pfft!"
"What are you laughing at? I happen to have something else to ask you. Tell me the truth, and you can avoid imprisonment. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you'll hand me over to the IPC for a bounty?"
"Hmph!"
Fu Xuan snorted coldly, assuming that Kafka was merely trying to get the last word.
Kiana had been enjoying the show when she suddenly heard some news that left her devastated.
"There's still some time before the formation is complete. To keep watch over this woman this afternoon, I won't be going to the Divination Department."
"Since I happen to have time, and I saw you handling documents earlier, you probably don't need to attend school to learn basic knowledge anymore. In that case, study divination with me, along with etiquette, music, and other arts, so you can cultivate your character."
Kiana turned around and tried to run.
But Fu Xuan seemed to have predicted her next move. By coincidence, she extended one small foot clad only in a white stocking and placed it in Kiana's path.
However, she had not expected Kiana not to notice it at all. Kiana tripped over the foot as it stretched out.
Because she had fallen so suddenly, Kiana's mind had not caught up, but her body acted first.
The only thing nearby suitable for grabbing was Fu Xuan—or rather, the knot on Fu Xuan's back.
Fu Xuan only felt her back tighten, then suddenly felt a wave of relief.
Afterward, waves of comfort and coolness swept over her.
Seeing Kafka lying on the sofa make a "tsk-tsk" sound and look at her with a teasing gaze,
Fu Xuan followed her line of sight and looked down at her own body.
"Yaaah!!!"
Fu Xuan had no time to check whether Kiana was injured.
She also had no time to care about Kafka's attitude.
She hurriedly covered her chest with one hand as her clothes gradually slipped off because the knot had been damaged.
With her other hand, she opened the wardrobe and took out another outfit of the same style.
Then she opened the door to another room and rushed inside.
Kiana looked at the knot in her hand, then could not help glancing at Kafka.
Kafka seemed to be confirming that Fu Xuan would not notice what was happening here. Only then did she reveal that signature gentle smile and whisper to Kiana:
"That's right. This was also in Elio's script!"
"Help me pass a message to Elio."
Kafka did not know what Kiana wanted to say to Elio. But she did not hurry her either, gazing gently at Kiana with eyes free of contact lenses.
"Tell Elio for me: nicely done!"
Kafka's smile froze on her face.
Silver Wolf had recently reported that the little one in front of them was too honest, and everyone had assumed Kiana had reformed.
But judging by the facts, that was clearly not the case.
When it came to saying shameless things, Kiana really had not changed at all.
