Shia looked at the bottle in her hand, which indeed carried a fruity fragrance, sour and sweet, and very pleasant to smell.

She squeezed a bit into her palm, finding it to be a highly viscous paste, and decided to taste it.

Before her tongue could touch the substance, a reprimand came from beside her.

“Oh no, you can’t eat that, it’s for washing your hair.”

Qin Tiantian grabbed Shia’s wrist and then rinsed away the citrus-scented shampoo with water.

“Don’t you use shampoo where you’re from?”

She asked, looking at Shia who seemed a bit dumbfounded in the bathroom.

In the middle of the night, she had been live streaming big time, preparing to broadcast until four in the morning, but then Lu Ban suddenly brought Shia over, forcing her to end her stream early, leaving her viewers in the dark.

Qin Tiantian didn’t mind having someone stay over, and since Shia was a beautiful girl, it was only natural for beautiful girls to stick around.

However, Shia’s lack of common knowledge did shock Qin Tiantian.

Like in the bathroom, she neither understood how to use the showerhead nor knew what shampoo and body wash were, much like an ancient person who had traveled to modern times.

“No, common folks might use some herbs or flower petals in the water for bathing.”

Shia answered as if it were the most natural thing.

“What about you?”

Qin Tiantian countered.

“I usually use a Cleansing Spell.”

Shia replied without hesitation.

“???”

Qin Tiantian didn’t know whether to make a fuss over the “Cleansing Spell” or over Shia’s belief that she was not an ordinary person.

“Like this.”

Shia raised her left hand.

In an instant, a breeze seemed to pass over her entire body, causing Qin Tiantian to squint unconsciously. When she opened her eyes again, she didn’t notice any change.

However, she moved her nose closer to Shia’s hair and indeed couldn’t smell the hot pot anymore.

“Is that some kind of magic trick?”

It shook Qin Tiantian for an entire year.

“It’s magic.”

Shia explained seriously.

“…I see, it’s a setting, right? A setting, like in the movies.”

Qin Tiantian felt she might have stumbled upon something incredible and decided to play it cool. As everyone knows, in most works, the comedic characters usually have satisfactory endings, so she decided to stick to her persona.

“Movies?”

Shia tilted her head, puzzled by the term she had heard repeatedly since recently.

“Hm? Or is it that your profession doesn’t call it movies, and you have some sort of professional jargon for it?”

Qin Tiantian was also at a loss.

But looking at Shia, who had used a Cleansing Spell, she still felt the need to rinse her off with water.

It was like many parents’ mindsets: even if their child was clean, they wouldn’t feel reassured until they had washed them again in the bathtub.

But Shia didn’t know how to use the items in the bathroom.

“No helping it, I’ll join you.”

Qin Tiantian turned on the heater and picked up clothes for the two of them to change into.

“Hm? This T-shirt is way too big, isn’t it? Could it be that guy’s?”

Qin Tiantian tugged at the sleeping garment that was intended for Shia to change into.

For a girl, the size of this T-shirt was excessively large. Qin Tiantian compared it to herself; it could practically serve as a dress.

Without a doubt, it was Lu Ban’s clothing.

Imagining Shia in this oversized shirt, Qin Tiantian suddenly felt a rush of excitement.

She took off her clothes and glanced at Shia again.

“What are you spacing out for, strip!”

“?”

It was now Shia’s turn to be puzzled.

“I’ve already used a Cleansing Spell; there’s no need for water…!”

Qin Tiantian didn’t give Shia time to argue and had already started lifting her clothes.

Three thousand words later, Shia, dressed in Lu Ban’s T-shirt, sat in the living room, lost in thought.

Although taking a bath was a troublesome task, consuming a lot of time and effort, the warm coziness during a hot bath, and the relaxed state afterward, were not something a Cleansing Spell could provide.

While studying magic at Gray Tower, in order to save every second for learning, Shia always resorted to Cleansing Spells to deal with personal hygiene. After becoming a Proxy, every day she was displaced and wandering, not to mention taking baths, even having a bed to lie down and rest was a luxury.

So the hot bath just now brought Shia an unprecedented comfort and relaxation.

She wore only the oversized T-shirt belonging to Lu Ban, the long hem revealing her straight and slender legs touched by the dry warm breeze from the air conditioner; even her round toes relaxed, and her damp golden hair was in the hands of Qin Tiantian, who was drying it with a hair dryer.

“How about it, bathing is really comfortable, right?”

Qin Tiantian felt she finally had something that could surprise someone else, and now she was in a state of full satisfaction.

“…Indeed.”

Shia had to admit that if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely look for an opportunity to take a hot bath.

But in Night Country, it was quite dangerous outside, and one was completely defenseless while bathing; probably only when returning to Gray Tower could she enjoy it.

Shia never imagined that in Lu Ban’s world, even a person without combat ability like Qin Tiantian could enjoy hot baths at any time.

She suddenly felt a little melancholic.

In her world, the Demonic Tide attacked every year, countless people died because of it, common folks struggled to survive, mages fought back desperately, but could only watch the Black Forest slowly engulf the world.

The differences between foreign domains were massive.

“Want some Crunchy Shark? Let’s watch a movie together.”

Qin Tiantian brought over a box of snacks and opened a streaming website.

“How about this one? I saw you didn’t take part in it, so you might not have seen it?”

She clicked on one of Lu Ban’s movies.

“‘Peaceful Days in Spring’?”

Shia didn’t quite understand, but since Qin Tiantian had suggested it, she decided to learn and started watching seriously.

Accepting the black food Qin Tiantian passed to her, she took a bite.

“This is delicious.”

Shia nodded continuously.

More than two hours later, the movie ended.

Qin Tiantian looked at Shia with interest, wanting to see her expression.

However, there were no signs of pain or sorrow on Shia’s face; she just widened her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

“…So that’s how it is.”

Shia had also been to He Dao to complete a mission, unrelated to the Chief Priestess, but had heard of the Chief Priestess’s renown. She had always thought that the Chief Priestess, like Gray Tower, was a sword protecting civilization. She had even looked for ways to combat Pollution on The Island.

But now it seemed that He Dao was merely quenching thirst with poison, using a stronger Pollution to fight against the existing Pollution.

In comparison, Night Country seemed better off.

At least there was still hope.

And now, the world she found herself in felt like heaven to Shia.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Shia daydream, Qin Tiantian thought Lu Ban’s movie had been too mind-boggling, causing Shia to freeze up.

She shook Shia’s shoulder, watching as the golden-haired girl turned her head.

Qin Tiantian handed her a piece of Crunchy Shark.

“Eat some sweets; they’ll make you feel better.”

Shia took the Crunchy Shark, popping it into her mouth.

Amidst the sweetness, there was a hint of bitterness.
