"I don't know how to use that thing..."

Jue Xi was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he wasn't surprised. He went into the bathroom.

"Didn't those people give you baths before?"

Xilin thought about the meaning of the word "bath" and, although she didn't quite understand it, she could grasp the general idea.

"Once a month, those people would spray water all over us with big hoses..."

Juexi's lips twitched, and she thought to herself that she was a beast for asking this question for no reason.

After teaching Xilin how to use the faucet, Juexi continued.

"Little Sirin, take your time washing, no rush. I'll get you some clean clothes, and you can take a bath while you're at it..."

Seeing Juexi covered in blood, Xilin understood that she really needed to be cleaned up. Although she was a little afraid that Juexi wouldn't come back, she didn't dare to ask...

Xilin nodded, and Juexi spoke loudly into the house after leaving.

"Don't worry, Celine, I'll be right back."

Xilin was still very happy to hear this and replied loudly.

"it is good!"

……

Looking at the lab coat and work clothes in front of her, Juexi frowned... Her own clothes definitely needed washing and wouldn't dry immediately, and Xilin's figure only allowed her to wear lab coats... The thought of Juexi talking to Xilin while she was wearing work clothes and lab coats made her feel strange. Suddenly, she felt how inconvenient it was to lose her powers.

The person in charge could only tell the truth.

"I'm sorry, boss, this is the only type of uniform we have. No staff member can have their own everyday clothes. They must wear work uniforms even when they are off work."

Juexi knew there was nothing she could do, after all, this was the Babylon Laboratory.

"Okay, I understand, it's not your fault. I'm going to take a shower first, and then please get these clothes I took off ready and bring them to me as soon as possible, okay?"

The person in charge nodded quickly.

"Okay, okay..."

……

Meanwhile, Celine was lying in that bathtub...

"Satisfied now? Don't forget how Bella died..."

"Ugh, how annoying! What can I do?"

After Sirin buried Bella herself, she heard a strange voice claiming to be "God".

"Don't you want revenge? I can grant you the power you've always dreamed of..."

Xilin remained silent.

He won't always be by your side, and besides, they're all the same...

"no the same!"

"no the same?"

After saying that, the guy who called himself a god fell silent, and at that moment, Sirin was lost in thought.

……

Inside the "Theatre of Domination," the viewers exchanging bewildered glances. The voice that proclaimed itself "God" was, of course, the "Will of Honkai." Meanwhile, the rest of the crew on Teyvat engaged in a heated discussion.

[Tianquan: Why is that strange voice bewitching the little girl named Xilin...?]

[Wang Sheng Tang Special Offer (Ongoing 50% off sale, buy one get one free, first come first served): Guest, do you think that if Xilin really wants revenge, she will gain great power?]

[Worldly Wanderings: From a purely rational perspective, no.]

[Wang Sheng Tang's Special Offer (Ongoing 50% off promotion, buy one get one free, first come, first served): But what if we don't consider it in a general sense?]

[A leisurely stroll through the mortal world: ...]

[Emergency Food: Mr. Zhongli has suddenly fallen silent.]

Just as everyone was discussing something, Wendy suddenly posted a comment.

[Hey: By the way, this live stream is pretty smart. The scene of Xiaoxilin taking a bath was blurred out just now~]

Hey, I got banned by the administrator for an hour.

[A Morning Light Winery Wine Wholesale: ...]

[Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius: ...]

Knowing Wendy's true identity, the two were speechless at their own deity's behavior.

Wendy naturally knew that this live stream was related to the bunny. She pitifully moved closer to the bunny.

"Oh dear~ Why is this happening~ Little bunny~ I was just trying to liven things up~ A one-hour ban is so mean~"

Meanwhile, on Juexi's side...

Jue Xi reluctantly returned to her room in her work clothes, looking at the closed bathroom door. She placed the clean lab coat by the door.

"I am back."

"Um……"

Jue Xi was a little confused. Why did Xiao Xilin seem unhappy? But then he immediately realized that her best friend Bella wasn't there today, so it was normal for her to be down.

"I've left the clean clothes by the bathroom door. Sirin, please change into the clean clothes after you shower; it will make you more comfortable."

"Could you bring this in for me?"

"what?!"

Jue Xi was shocked, and Kiana, who was watching the live broadcast from the Domination Theater, was equally shocked.

……

"Chizha Yuehai Yuyu Cat: Mu Juexi... if you dare do that! You're dead!"

[Lord Kuji: Oh dear~ It seems our little guy's real girlfriend is going to be angry. We don't usually see Miss Kiana calling him by his full name~]

[Wang Sheng Tang Special Offer (Ongoing 50% off promotion, buy one get one free, first come first served): No worries, I'm all set. With our friendship, I'll make sure you leave in style.]

……

Although Jue Xi was puzzled, he still picked up clean clothes and opened the door...

The hand holding the clothes reached into the bathroom. (Juexi: How could I possibly go in!)

Xilin was puzzled by Juexi's actions, but her clothes were already dry, so she took the clothes Juexi offered. Juexi immediately withdrew her hand and closed the door.

Xilin said she didn't understand, but found it kind of fun.

……

"Chizha Yuehaiyuyu Cat: Hmph ╯^╰"

[Wang Sheng Tang's Special Offer (50% off sale ongoing, buy one get one free, first come first served): What a pity, I didn't realize Mr. Jue Xi had such a strong will to survive.]

[Lord Kuji: This little guy's shy look is so funny! I never knew he had this side to him, hahaha~]

……

Xilin, who had just come out of the bathroom, was stunned when she saw Juexi in her work clothes. Juexi knew what was going on and quickly explained.

"There are no extra clothes here. I sent the clothes I was wearing to be washed. Don't worry... I would never do anything to you."

Celine nodded.

"Um……"

Jue Xi patted the bed towards Xi Lin, gesturing for her to come and sit down. Xi Lin obediently sat down next to Jue Xi.

"Little Xilin, let me tell you, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Don't ask me to bring you clothes next time."

Xilin didn't quite understand. She usually "showers" herself every month. The staff just use a hose to rinse her, and since everyone showers together, they can definitely see each other.

Xilin listened to Juexi babbling on and on, and found it rather amusing that he was explaining things. She also understood some of it.

"Okay, I won't do it again next time."

Jue Xi thought that Xi Lin really understood what she was saying, and thought to herself, "I'm really amazing."

"Cirin, it's getting late. You should get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow. I won't wear this outfit tomorrow."

Xilin was actually very scared. She didn't want Juexi to leave, but he had just said something about men and women not being allowed to touch each other. Maybe he still looked down on her a little? But he had already been very good to her.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Jue Xi got up and left, smiling as she spoke to Xi Lin at the door before she went out.

"Go to bed early, Xiao Xilin, so you can grow tall."

"understood."

After saying this, Juexi left. He went to his room and pondered how he could make the ending of this story better...

Lying in her room, Celine was filled with mixed emotions. Everything that had happened today felt so surreal, like a dream. She had fantasized countless times about the day she and her companions would be rescued and leave this place. This day seemed to have finally arrived, but could they really be saved? Would things really get better?

Lost in thought, Celine drifted off to sleep, filled with dreams of a bright future...

……

No way.

~Bonus Chapter~ Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. Wishing all readers and bosses a Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! May you live forever!!

Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...

Kiana rubbed her eyes and said somewhat unhappily.

"Hmm... Captain~ your phone is ringing... why didn't you silence it~"

Kiana reached out to her side; the captain wasn't there. He must have gotten up and was cooking. Kiana picked up her phone from the table and saw it was hers.

"walnut?"

Kiana was a little confused as to why Kurumi would call her so early in the morning, but she quickly answered the phone anyway.

"Hey Kiana~ Today is the Lantern Festival in Liyue, do you want to come and celebrate with us? It's so lively."
