Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“…I understand.” Huanxi sighed.

"My lord, please follow me aboard the ship. Miss Bailu is waiting for you at the Xianlong Dayu Hall."

As Danheng and Huanxi passed by him, Yan silently watched the direction in which the men with the power of light fled.

"Those guys seemed to be running away laughing."

"Yan Huan, come with us quickly." Dan Heng's voice came from behind.

"What's the rush?"

"..."

After Dan Heng and Huan Xi boarded the ship, Dan Heng said to Yan Huan in a deep voice:

"The situation ahead is still uncertain, so we must be careful."

"With me here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Immediately, horns sprouted from Yan's head, his eyes turned dark red, and he patted his black robe.

"I'm not like you. If you really want to fight me, then be prepared to go to the ICU."

"..."

The starship docked at the coast of Lin Yuan Realm.

The two disembarked.

Huanxi led them to the Xianlong Great Yu Hall.

Bai Lu has been waiting here for a long time.

As the three walked towards her, Bai Lu put her hands on her hips and complained:

"Sigh, this is too slow. I've been waiting for you here for a very, very long time."

"There's nothing I can do." Yan Huan shrugged.

“A large group of people on the road wanted to have a passionate chat with our little Danheng.”

"Hey? Brother Yan Huan is here too!"

Upon realizing that Yan Huan was also accompanying them, Bai Lu immediately smiled:

"How are you feeling now? Are you experiencing any adverse reactions?"

"Me?" Yan Huan twisted her arm and frowned, "It really is a bit uncomfortable."

"Huh? Where? Would you like me to take a look?"

"When I saw the two maids behind you, I had a feeling they were spies."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Bailu turned around, glanced at the two maids who suddenly seemed slightly flustered, and replied:

"Huh? Spies? These are all people I know very well."

“Miss Bailu, please forgive him,” Danheng said. “That’s just how he is; he calls everyone he meets a spy.”

“Oh…I see.”

Huanxi stepped forward and said:

"Miss, we encountered assassins on the road."

"assassin?!"

"!!!"

Bai Lu's eyes widened:

"Ouch, are you alright? It would be terrible if you had any sprains or bruises!"

Huanxi gently shook her head and smiled:

"Fortunately, the two of you are highly skilled and all is well. These people attempted to assassinate Lord Danheng... presumably to protect Miss's rightful Dragon Lord lineage."

"?"

Bai Lu pursed her thin lips, lowered her head, put her hands on her hips, and snorted coldly:

"Tch. I said it a long time ago, whoever wants to be the Dragon Lord can be the Dragon Lord, it's not like I had to choose this title."

"..." Dan Heng looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing these words.

Bai Lu's position as Dragon Lord was appointed by his previous incarnation, Dan Feng.

Noticing the change in Dan Heng's expression, Bai Lu stepped forward and examined him closely.

"You must be Dan Heng? The one who was kicked fifty meters away by Brother Yan Huan in Lin Yuan Realm."

"..."

"Um...it's me."

Bai Lu then looked her over and said:

"I heard about how you separated the ancient sea in the Scale Abyss Realm. You're so powerful, those assassins probably couldn't have taken you down."

“Miss, you mustn’t talk nonsense,” Huanxi reminded her.

"Emmmm... okay."

"Let me take a closer look."

Bai Lu looked at Dan Heng:

"Hmm, you've grown dragon horns on your head too. They say you're the reincarnation of Danfeng, it seems it's true?"

"Oh dear, you're different from me, why don't you have a tail?"

Upon realizing that Danheng only had horns, Bailu circled around behind him:

"Really, no. Wait, Brother Yan Huan doesn't have any either! You two only have horns, how did you manage that?"

"Oh ho? A tail?!"

Immediately, Yan Huan looked down and examined Bai Lu's tail.

On its pale purple tail, a shackle was clearly embedded.

"Huh? How come you..." Yan Huan was about to point at the shackles when Dan Heng pressed her hand down.

"..." Dan Heng shook his head slightly, stopping Yan Huan's actions.

Bai Lu continued to show a curious expression:

"If I made you the Dragon Lord, would you grow a tail?"

"I have no intention of getting involved in the matter of the Dragon Lord's inheritance," Dan Heng said in a deep voice.

"I have come here to repair the seal on the Jianmu tree; this is the duty of the Luofu Chiming."

"Oh? Then there's no use in you coming to see me. Ever since my rebirth, I've only learned some medical skills at the Alchemy Department," Bai Lu said疑惑地.

"I can't repair the seal or separate the seawater."

Dan Heng continued to state his purpose:

"I would like to take this opportunity to talk to Miss Bailu about the old days. I have heard about your situation, and although I cannot promise a solution at the moment, I will try to do something."

"Oh? Not bad, not bad."

Bai Lu was very satisfied with Dan Heng's sincere attitude:

“You’re not like other adults, you speak honestly and are somewhat trustworthy. You want me to go with you into the interior of the Scale Abyss Realm, right?”

"Exactly."

Bai Lu agreed without hesitation:

"Let's set off now!"

This decisive attitude surprised Huanxi: "Eh, Miss?"

"Huanxi, please wait here for a while. I'll be right back. Don't worry, I have these two protecting me!"

Danheng was also somewhat surprised by Bailu's trust.

He nodded and said seriously:

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Miss Bailu."

While they were chatting, Yan kept taking in his surroundings.

"..."

Several figures moved about in the distance.

A faint, lingering gaze was fixed on this spot.

"Hey, who said there's no audience?"

"Yan Huan, let's go," Dan Heng reminded her.

"I know, I know."

Leaving Huanxi and the maids behind, Danheng led the two through the Xianlong Dayu Hall, past the ruins, and continued on their way.

Finally, they arrived at Jianmu Xuangen.

The events that happened here still resonate in Danheng's memory.

Illusion, Star Core, Jianmu...

Also, there was that small porcelain bottle that Yan Huan took out of her suitcase back then.

After that, he never saw Rakshasa again.

"Wow! It's still so magnificent!" Bai Lu exclaimed in amazement as she gazed at the Jianmu Xuan Gen before her.

"Although the star core on the Jianmu tree was sealed and a large amount of its life force was absorbed by the Yan Huan brothers, it still looks so majestic."

"Hmm." Looking at the Jianmu Xuan Gen before him, Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"To form a seal and use the power of the dragon to stop the spread of the roots, this is the important task entrusted to the Dragon Lord of Luofu."
