Chapter 5
The old man was very happy.
"Jingliu, why don't you take a shower first, you are all sweaty"
Columbia said as she looked at Jingliu who was sweaty.
Jingliu heard what Columbia said and smelled the breath on his body. There was no sweat odor, but there was a faint fragrance, which made people feel very relieved.
"Well, then I'll trouble you, Columbia"
Although there was no sweat odor, the sticky feeling on my body was still very uncomfortable.
...
"Remember it?"
"Well"
"Then I'll leave first, put the clothes here. There's nothing to do today, Jingliu, you can take your time to wash, don't worry" After saying that, Columbia put down the clothes and closed the door and left. Jingliu was left alone in the bathroom.
Jingliu looked at himself in the mirror and swallowed. With white hair and red eyes, and aloof and cold temperament, he looked very good no matter from which direction.
And now, he had to cleanse this body of filth, and he was very excited just thinking about it.
"You beat me so badly in the dream, it's not too much for me to take some interest," Jingliu encouraged himself, swallowed his saliva, and began to undress.
...
"Hmm~ So comfortable," Jingliu soaked in the hot water, enjoying the hot water caressing every inch of his skin.
Jingliu hugged his feet with his hands and looked at the reflection in the water, revealing a cold face.
It has been several days since I became Jingliu and came to the continent of Teyvat, except for the few days in the snowfield. It has also been a day since I came to live in the Kingdom of Winter. I met Columbia, and I felt that everything was so unreal...
I became Jingliu, so where did the original "Jingliu" go? The experience of Xingcha Sea was definitely not a dream. Moreover, from the way I looked after entering the soul-transforming state, the demonic body seemed to be affecting me as well...
"Alas, I don't know anything now, I can only take it one step at a time"
...
Jingliu put on the clothes prepared by Columbia and went to the bathroom with a red face.
"How is it, do the clothes still fit?"
When Columbia saw Jingliu coming out, her eyes lit up and she trotted over to look at Jingliu.
Wrapped in a light pink dress, with a white gauze dress on the outside, revealing a graceful neck, the folds of the skirt flowed like the light of snow and moonlight, making her gait more graceful and soft.
"Huh~ Columbia, don't... don't look at me like that" Columbia looked at her a little too strongly, and she felt uncomfortable looking at herself.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, Jingliu, you are so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at you a few more times" Columbia apologized quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just not used to this"
Jingliu didn't care about these, but felt weird being looked at like this by a big beauty.
"Well, let's blow dry our hair first."
Jingliu asked Columbia while blowing his hair: "What should we do later?"
"You can do whatever you want, there is no special arrangement."
"Jingliu, do you want to play anything?" Columbia asked.
"No, let's listen to your arrangement, Columbia." Jingliu stopped what he was doing and thought about it. In his previous life, the original god only went to the Fontaine area, and had not yet gone to the winter. Jingliu would not understand these things in his previous life. He learned whatever he played, and was just a pure salted fish.
"Hmm~" Columbia lowered her head and thought.
Jingliu looked at Columbia's face who was thinking in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the laughter, Columbia looked at Jingliu and asked: "What's wrong?"
Then said: "Let's go to the Fireplace House later."
Fireplace House? If I remember correctly, it is a welfare home, right? Jingliu thought.
"The Hearth House is an orphanage managed by Alecino, which adopts orphans from various countries in Teyvat."
"Well, Alecino is the fourth "servant" of the Eleven Executive Officers of the Fatui," Columbia explained.
"I see, let's go to the Hearth House later."
"Well, then I'll inform Alecino first. After all, she thinks those children are very important. If we go there rashly, it may cause unpleasantness."
...
Columbia's home is not far from the Hearth House. After all, they are all around the Winter City, so they arrived quickly.
The Hearth House is built on ice and snow, located in the north of the Winter City. It is called an orphanage, but in Jingliu's opinion, it is more like a private manor, and there are many Fatui stationed here, as if it is a piece of pure land in the boundless cold river.
"Ms. ""Girl"" The Fatui at the door of the Hearth House saw Columbia, immediately opened the door, lowered his head, and then respected
said respectfully.
"Yes" Columbia responded, and then walked towards the interior of the Hearth House.
Not long after walking, a man and a woman walked towards Columbia and Jingliu.
"Ms. "Girl", and Mr. Jingliu" The two greeted respectfully first, and then introduced themselves: "My name is Linni-Shenetsevich, just call me Linni. This is my sister, Linnet-Shenetsevna, just call her Linnet"
"We are sent by "Father", please follow us, "Father" wants to see you" I said, and Linni and Linnet led Columbia and Jingliu away.
"Linni and Linnet are still in the Hearth House, haven't they gone to Fontaine yet? It seems that there is still a long time before the main storyline." Jingliu looked at the two and thought.
...
Dean's Office
"Father, we are coming in," Linnie knocked on the door and said, then pushed it open. Everyone walked in.
What came into view was a simple office room, where a girl was sitting on the desk. Seeing everyone coming, she put down her pen, stood up and walked over.
Jingliu also saw the appearance of this "servant".
A long black and white hair with white as the main color, and a red cross pattern in the black eyes.
"Linnie, Linnet, your mission is completed, go do what you want to do"
"Yes, "Father"" Linnie and Linnet said in unison, and then left.
"Although you should know my name, I still introduce myself"
"Alechino, the fourth seat of the Eleventh Executive Officer of the Fatui, "Servant", welcomes you here" Alechino said kindly, and then made an elegant gesture.
