She was not afraid of strangers, but the tragedy that occurred 500 years ago had a great impact on her, to the point that she has become somewhat withdrawn and insecure.
"Don't worry, everyone here is easy to get along with."
Xia Zhi comforted him.
"It's just that your original identity is a bit special, so we can't tell everyone or outsiders directly. We have to come up with a fake identity and name for you."
"name!"
"Then let me take your surname, Xia, Xia Du, or Xia Lin? Xia Du doesn't sound very nice, and Xia Lin, then let's go with Xia Lin..."
"Charlene?"
"Yes, from now on your new name will be Charlene. As for the ominous name Dulin, let it be buried with this skeleton in this snowy mountain. Charlene, do you understand?"
"I remember!"
The girl nodded earnestly.
"it is good."
Xia Zhi reached out and made a light sweeping motion in mid-air.
A rift suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"Let's go."
Xia Zhi lifted his foot and stepped into the crack filled with eyeballs, his figure disappearing from sight.
Charlene turned around, took one last look at the swirling snow, and then stepped into the crevice.
The scenery before her eyes blurred for a moment, and the next moment, Charlene found herself in a quiet, withered forest.
She could feel that the air temperature was much higher than that of the snow-capped mountains.
Xia Zhi was standing next to her.
"This is Qingquan Town."
"Qingquan Town!"
"You come with me."
"Ok!"
Xia Zhi walked out of the woods, with Xia Lin following closely behind him, curiously looking around at the surroundings.
It was already late at night, and they didn't encounter any townspeople on the road.
A short while later, the two returned to Diona's house.
Through the window, you can see that the lights inside the house are off.
Mr. Dulaf should already be asleep.
"Be quiet, don't disturb the people sleeping in the house."
"Ah."
In one corner of the yard, a hovercar was parked.
Xia Zhi led Xia Lin to the car and into the Dust Song Pot.
A vibrant green landscape immediately caught Charlene's eye, brightening her mood.
This was a sight she hadn't seen in five hundred years.
When she was in the snow-capped mountains, all she could see was the seemingly unchanging white snow and wind.
A campfire was burning in the open space, and everyone was sitting around it chatting, all wearing loose pajamas.
Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Granny Ping, who had mastered the power of the external world, was the first to look in this direction. When she saw the unfamiliar girl behind Xia Zhi, she was slightly taken aback.
The other girls followed Grandma Ping and looked in this direction.
"Boss, you're back!"
"Huh, who is this little girl?"
"Cousin, where did you pick someone up from?"
The girls gathered around curiously, looking at Charlene with different expressions.
Xia Lin glanced at Xia Ci first, then at Xia Zhen, as if startled. She instinctively hid behind Xia Zhi, tugging at his clothes and whispering, "Dad..."
? ? ! !
Upon hearing this shout, the previously noisy air instantly fell silent.
Apart from Shen He and the others, the other girls looked at Xia Lin with some disbelief.
What the heck is that "Dad" thing you're calling me?!
Xia Zhi remained calm and pulled the girl who was hiding behind him to his front, saying to everyone, "Let me introduce you. She is my newly accepted apprentice, named Xia Lin."
Oh, so she's an apprentice... Wait, why does she share the same surname as the boss (Mr. Xia)?
"Hello there!"
Although the girls still had some questions, they all greeted Charlene with smiles.
Charlene responded timidly, "Hello everyone."
Xia Zhi added, "Xia Lin will be living with us from now on. She's a bit shy, so please take good care of her."
"Don't worry, boss (Mr. Xia)!"
"As for how she addresses me, it's a bit strange, but you don't need to worry about it."
"Ok!"
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Xiangling, come here for a moment."
Xiangling walked over: "Master?"
Xia Zhi instructed, "Xia Lin, this older sister is Xiang Ling, who is also your senior sister. Go find her whenever you're hungry."
Charlene remembered: "Yes, hello Senior Sister Xiangling."
Xiangling looked at her and smiled, "Hello, Junior Sister Xia Lin. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
Xia Zhi then said, "Qi Qi, come here for a moment."
Qiqi walked over: "Master."
Xia Zhi continued to instruct, "Xia Lin, this older sister is Qi Qi, who is also your second senior sister."
Xia Lin said obediently, "Hello, Senior Sister Qiqi."
Qi Qi nodded calmly to her, "Hello, Junior Sister Xia Lin."
Xia Zhi continued, "This young lady over here is Xia Ci, my cousin, and this older sister is Xia Zhen, my older cousin."
Charlene looked at them and timidly called out, "My two aunts..."
Xia Ci interrupted her: "What aunt? Just call me sister!"
Xia Zhen also said, "That's right, you can just call me sister."
Xia Lin looked up at Xia Zhi, and seeing that he had no objections, she obediently greeted, "Hello, both of you sisters."
After introducing the interpersonal relationships within his sect and his own family members with the surname Xia, Xia Zhi briefly introduced the others to Xia Lin, asking her to at least remember everyone's names.
As for other things, there's still plenty of time in the future, and we can get to know each other better over time.
Having resolved the matter, Xia Zhi headed towards the bathhouse.
Seeing him about to leave, Charlene quickly followed him, calling out, "Dad..."
Xia Zhi turned around and chuckled: "Why are you following me? I'm going to take a bath."
Charlene looked up at him and said, "I...I want to take a bath too!"
There is really nothing to do with her.
"Okay, then you go to the bar first."
"go together!"
Xia Zhi looked at Xia Lin from God's perspective. There was a pitiful look in her eyes. This girl seemed to be very insecure.
Perhaps it's because she's now wearing the golden headband and has lost all her original power.
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go together. The bathhouse is quite large anyway."
"it is good!"
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance.
The girls exchanged strange glances.
They didn't have any bad thoughts; it was just a bath, nothing as intimate as a full-body massage.
I just felt a little strange... after all, I've never taken a bath with my boss (my cousin) before!

The bathhouse in Chenge Pot was designed based on the bathhouse in the small shop during the summer.
