"Little Angelica, you don't want some guys to gossip about us, saying that we in Luofu have two useless Dragon Lords, do you?"
"Ahem, I'm not insulting you, but there are indeed quite a few people spreading such rumors online or in private."
Jingyuan took out his phone, opened a forum, and handed it to Baizhi.
Is that Bai Zhi (白芷) someone who has connections with Bai Lu (白露)?
Breaking News! It's rumored that Bai Zhi became a Dragon Lord by absorbing the dragon vein of the Immortal Ship.
"Heh, if someone like this can become a Dragon Lord, then I can too!"
Who would have thought that a position like Dragon Lord would one day be sold?
"White Dew was already useless, but then another useless thing came along."
Insider information suggests that Bai Zhi's ascension to the Dragon Lord position was orchestrated by a certain female executive!
Looking at these headlines, Bai Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth. Do these guys have nothing better to do than gossip all day?
"This time, we have to give them a little shock..."
"That's more like it, young man. You should be bold and give these trolls a good slap in the face. I'll help you publicize your achievements. If anyone still dares to criticize you, I'll go offline and confront them in person."
Jing Yuan patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction. "Young man, you still have to use reverse psychology."
Fu Xuan turned his head away speechlessly. This old guy just knows how to manipulate children; he's shameless.
“Fu Qing, you are also of utmost importance this time. I am responsible for confronting the Envoy, and you are the person besides me who is most skilled at leading the affairs of the Immortal Ship. Without your cooperation, this time it will probably be much more troublesome.”
Jing Yuan said to Fu Xuan with a smile.
"Hmph, you old codger do have a good eye. Apart from my strength, which is inferior to yours, in every other aspect, I am better than you."
Fu Xuan's tone became noticeably more relaxed.
"Yes, yes, Fu Qing is the most capable. I will definitely recommend you for the position of general in the future."
Jing Yuan's lips curled up slightly, clearly indicating that he was in a very pleasant mood.
"Then, please do me a favor, Little Angelica."
"General, you're so powerful, do you really need my help?" Bai Zhi, realizing she'd been tricked, crossed her arms and said rather unhappily.
"Haha, the so-called general is one who makes the best use of talent. Little Angelica's strength is indispensable to me."
Jing Yuan looked very sincere.
"General, if you were to become a scumbag, I think you would be 100% successful."
Bai Zhi's tone softened, "General, please speak. I will do everything I can to help you."
"Then thank you very much, Xiao Baizhi." Jing Yuan reached out and affectionately ruffled Baizhi's hair.
"It's not a big deal, really. Didn't you demonstrate last time that you can turn a person into an animal? So, I hope you can use that ability to turn me into a cat again."
"Ok??"
Bai Zhi looked at Jing Yuan with a strange expression, "General, you haven't become addicted to being a cat, have you?"
"Although this cat is living a very comfortable life, I think it's better to be a human."
"Jingyuan is a cat?!"
Fu Xuan looked back and forth between Bai Zhi and Jing Yuan as if he had discovered something interesting.
Jing Yuan waved his hand, "How could I? In such an emergency, how could I make such a serious request just to experience the leisurely life of a cat again?"
Bai Zhi: "It's hard to say."
"Cough cough cough." Jing Yuan coughed twice helplessly. "Actually, I just wanted to turn into a cat and do some scouting."
"Think about it, as a general of Luofu, I am too conspicuous in some places. If I transform into a cat, then there will be many more things I can do."
"With so many cats on the celestial ship, no one will notice that one of them is actually a general of Luofu."
Bai Zhi stroked her chin. "That's true, but the general needs to be careful."
"Is there anything I should be careful about?" Jing Yuan asked.
"It's nothing, just be careful not to get caught and castrated."
"Haha, that's true, Jingyuan. Be careful not to get caught and castrated at your age. Although it can grow back, it would be bad if you were traumatized."
Upon hearing these words, Fu Xuan burst out laughing, while Jing Yuan's face darkened.
The key point is that there is actually a very slight possibility.
As a general, he couldn't possibly order someone to issue a quarantine certificate for a cat; that would be absurd.
Cats that haven't been quarantined might actually be spotted by the authorities and taken to a veterinary clinic for vaccinations and neutering.
"General, are you not afraid?"
Bai Zhi looked at Jing Yuan's somewhat dark face and teased him.
"This general is not afraid. Moreover, I have experienced it before. After being turned into a cat, although there is a feeling of being bound and the strength is slightly reduced, 99% of the strength can still be exerted, and the cat form can be broken free at any time."
"If, with this level of strength, I am still captured and castrated by the Earthly Balance Division, then I will accept it."
"Alright, since the general isn't afraid, then I'll cast this spell for you. Just like last time, the general, please don't resist, or the spell will fail."
"Okay, I won't resist."
Jing Yuan said in a deep voice, while simultaneously withdrawing his power.
Fu Xuan also stared curiously at Bai Zhi and Jing Yuan. She had never seen Bai Zhi with such an ability before.
Seeing Jing Yuan retract his power, Bai Zhi also reached out and touched him to ensure that her power was transmitted to the maximum extent.
In an instant, the image of the monkey talisman flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes, while Jing Yuan transformed into a white cat with red decorations, looking somewhat lazy, in a puff of smoke.
"So...so cute!!"
Upon seeing Jing Yuan transformed into a cat, Fu Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard.
It's not about looks, but mainly because Jingyuan, the cat he transformed into, has a very special temperament that most cats don't have.
256 Surprised? Unexpected?
"Fu Qing, petting the cat is prohibited!"
Jing Yuan glanced at Fu Xuan, whose expression was somewhat strange, and immediately spoke.
"Tch, who wants to pet a cat? I just find it a bit novel. General, be careful nothing goes wrong when you go out to scout."
"Don't worry, I won't get into trouble so easily before Fu Qing can take over as general. Xiao Baizhi, the train crew will be here soon. Tell them about it and ask for their help."
"Of course, I'll also entrust you with Mr. Danheng's invitation."
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. "General, you really know how to order people around. But since things have come to this, I guess I have no choice but to accept it."
"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved. I'll be going now~"
After saying that, Jing Yuan, who had transformed into a cat, skillfully leaped away from the Shence Mansion.
"The general really trusts me to entrust this kind of thing, isn't he afraid I'll mess it up?"
Bai Zhi sighed helplessly.
“That old guy has a lot on his mind. Although you don’t have much diplomatic experience, the time you’ve spent with the people from the Star Train is the best experience you can have.”
"Once you have a personal relationship, everything is easy to talk about. On the contrary, it is the official diplomacy that is the most difficult to do."
Fu Xuan glanced at Bai Zhi and said, as if offering a hint.
"The Grand Diviner knows this?" Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. After all, Fu Xuan usually seemed a bit aloof and not particularly skilled at communicating with people.
She had heard Qingque complain about the fortune teller's emotional intelligence more than once.
Fu Xuan raised his head. "As the Grand Diviner, my divination skills are unmatched in the Immortal Ship Luofu. How could I not know what those people think of me?"
"I have never bothered with any underhanded tactics. My way is to defeat everything with strength, honestly and fairly. Human relationships and social niceties are just choices for the weak."
"Even though it is a choice made by the weak, it is still necessary to understand the tricks involved in order to avoid being scammed."
"It should be about time, Little Angelica, get ready to welcome the Starry Sky Train members."
The moment Fu Xuan finished speaking, a guard came in to report: "Report... uh... Vice General, the Starry Sky Train members have arrived as invited, what do you think?"
Bai Zhi glanced at Fu Xuan, who was somewhat smug because the prophecy had come true, and said to the guards, "Please invite the people from the Starry Sky Train in."
"Yes!" The guard accepted the order and left.
A few minutes later, Bai Zhi heard the sound of March 7th coming from outside the door.
"Hey, don't you think the general on that immortal ship is really amazing? How about we take a picture with him sometime?"
"Little March, be careful about the impact. The General is a person of extremely high status on the Immortal Ship, and the Immortal Ship is also one of the most powerful forces in the universe. We can't let him act recklessly like Belberg."
That's Lao Yang's voice. As expected, he's experienced and reliable. Choosing him to participate in the Immortal Boat storyline in the original plot was a very correct choice.
“Okay, Uncle Yang, I understand,” said March 7th.
Then came the sound of the gates of the Shence Mansion being pushed open.
"General, it's a pleasure to meet you..."
He had only said half of what he was going to say when Old Yang, who was about to offer his hands in a gesture of respect, stopped him in his tracks.
Because the person there was not the General Jingyuan he had expected, but an acquaintance.
"Angelica dahurica?!" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.
"Uncle Yang, Sister March 7th, and Xing, welcome to the Immortal Ship. As a general of Luofu, I welcome your arrival."
Bai Zhi said with a smile.
"Wait, why you? And the general from Luofu too..."
March 7th shook her head, feeling somewhat incredulous that Bai Zhi would actually be sitting inside the Shence Mansion, welcoming them as a representative of the Immortal Boat Luofu. Wasn't something a little off?
Isn't Xiao Baizhi the future Dragon Lord?
"Sister March 7th, when we were simulating the universe, I told you that I am now the vice general of the Immortal Ship. Since I am the vice general, I naturally have my own responsibilities."
"I have been entrusted by our beloved General Jingyuan to exercise diplomatic powers this time."
"Surprised? Unexpected, right?"
Bai Zhi put her hands on her hips and smiled rather smugly.
"It's got that Dragon King novel vibe, except Xiao Baizhi doesn't have that crooked smile," Xing commented from the side.
"I thought that the title of deputy general was fake..." March 7th whispered.
"Hey, identity doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm also a member of the train crew."
“That’s right, no matter what Xiao Baizhi’s identity is, she’s a member of our train crew.” March 7th laughed, looking quite handsome.
"Uncle Yang, how have you been doing in Xianzhou lately? Have you seen that Rakshasa man?"
Bai Zhi shifted her gaze to Old Yang and asked.
Walter adjusted his glasses. "I've already met him, Mr. Rakshasa... I hope you'll be careful, Little Angelica. Although I might be being a bit presumptuous, in my experience, people with that kind of face usually..."
Walter was very tactful, mainly because, given his personality, it was indeed quite difficult for him to make such unfounded accusations against others.
Walter would never have acted this way if the Rakshasa had a different face.
However, for the safety of the immortal ship, he felt he had to give a reminder.
“They’re usually not good people, right?” Bai Zhi asked.
Walter nodded. "Yes, there are many suspicious things about him. First, there's the coffin he was carrying, and then there's his behavior and attire. He doesn't seem like a merchant at all; he seems like someone with ulterior motives."
"We have our own thoughts on what Mr. Rakshasa said, but it is indeed as Uncle Yang said, Mr. Rakshasa should have a little secret, but it has not been exposed yet, so we can't arrest him or do anything."
Walter nodded slightly. "Since the Immortal Ship already knows about these circumstances, I won't say any more."
"Uncle Yang, Sister March 7th, and Xing, now that you've come to the Immortal Ship, I naturally want to extend my hospitality. You must have many places you haven't been to yet, and you haven't experienced much of the Immortal Ship's cuisine. How about I show you around?"
“Great! I can’t wait to try the food on the Immortal Ship. I’ll bring some back for Pam, Himeko, and Danheng. They’ll be so happy.”
Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately became excited.
"Alright, let's set off then, Master Diviner. The rest is up to you."
