The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"That's just an excuse, but I won't hold it against you. Bai Zhi's matter is indeed very important, but... if we're going to another world, I'd like to go too."

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes first, then his expression became serious.

"Why is Fu Qing suddenly acting so stubborn?"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan frowned; this was not the answer he wanted.

Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at Jing Yuan, then explained:

“I’m not doing this out of spite, but after careful consideration. General, I admit that your strength is superior to mine and you are skilled in strategy, but you may not be as accurate as me in calculating and predicting things. Moreover, you can’t always do this kind of thing. I also need to have similar experience.”

“You can learn how to handle things on the Immortal Ship later, but going to other worlds and protecting Bai Zhi is also very important experience. General, you can’t stay by Bai Zhi’s side forever, so that’s when you need my help.”

Jing Yuan stroked his chin. He had to admit that although he suspected Fu Xuan might be a little upset, what he said made a lot of sense. He couldn't stay by Bai Zhi's side as a full-time bodyguard forever.

After all, he hasn't stepped down from his position as general yet, and he has a lot of things to deal with on a daily basis. Although he could say that he's temporarily handed it over to Fu Xuan, the population of a single immortal ship is calculated in hundreds of billions.

Therefore, short-term agency is fine, but long-term agency will definitely lead to problems.

Angelica dahurica is important, but the well-being of hundreds of millions of people is also an important issue.

It will be almost a hundred years before he steps down from his position as general, and since he is too busy to help, Bai Zhi will need someone to assist her.

"Alright, Fu Qing, you've convinced me."

Jing Yuan finally nodded and then shifted his gaze to Yu Kong.

As a fox-person skilled in interpersonal relationships, Yu Kong smiled understandingly and said, "It's alright. You can leave the affairs of the Immortal Ship to me. I'm quite adept at handling these matters."

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Jing Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He believed in Yu Kong's abilities. If it weren't for her extremely short lifespan, she would indeed be the choice for the next general. If he and Fu Xuan went to the other world with Bai Zhi, then having Yu Kong act as their successor would be a perfect choice.

While Jing Yuan was discussing matters with Fu Xuanyu, the Dragon Masters surrounded Bai Zhi as if presenting her as a treasure.

"Bai Zhilongnu, we have finally come up with an honorific title for you."

The leading dragon master spoke very formally.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi asked, somewhat puzzled. "My title?"

What kind of trouble are these dragon masters up to now?

The thought flashed through Bai Zhi's mind quickly. It wasn't that she had a dark side; it was just that most of the impressions these guys had left on her before were like this.

"That's right, it's your honorific title. After all, you're already so powerful now, and there's a long-standing tradition on the Immortal Ship that anyone with sufficient strength and prestige can obtain an honorific title. As for yours, we've just discussed it and decided on it. Would you like to hear it?"

The dragon masters nodded, looking somewhat impatient.

"Uh...you guys tell me." Bai Zhi was a little confused.

"Your title is—Holy Lord!"

The dragon masters said in unison.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this name, Bai Zhi was instantly dumbfounded. In the next second, she even began to suspect that these dragon masters might be transmigrators from other worlds.

“That’s right, Holy Lord. Holy represents the Holy King, and Lord represents the supreme status. Your power is undoubtedly worthy of this title.”

Bai Zhi fell silent. Was this some kind of fateful choice? The 12 talismans must belong to the Holy Lord.

"Don't you think the name 'Holy Lord' is not suitable for someone my age?"

After thinking it over, Bai Zhi decided to give it a shot. After all, although the name of the Holy Lord sounded very domineering, it was not always auspicious. It always gave people the feeling that if they held this name, some old man would come to their door with a pufferfish and seal them to hell.

"Of course, we have also taken that into consideration. We will use this title when you are older. We have also thought about your current title."

The dragon masters answered confidently.

"Oh?" Bai Zhi perked up and quickly asked, "What are you thinking of?"

"Divine Capital, Dragon Girl of Divine Capital, or Dragon Lord of Divine Capital, they sound much better, don't they?"

"That sounds alright..." Bai Zhi stroked her chin. Although the name seemed strangely familiar, it was at least much better than the Holy Lord's name.

The Holy Lord is too childish and doesn't fit her current style at all.

If she grows up to be a mature, sophisticated woman, maybe she'd fit the bill a bit, but being the same height as Bai Lu right now, it's completely unacceptable.

[Ding! Achievement unlocked—In the Name of the Holy Lord (Divine Capital)!]

[Achievement Reward - Chicken Talisman Level 1]

Bai Zhi was stunned when she saw the achievement pop up by the system. Then she realized why she had felt so strange. Wasn't this "Divine Capital" just another translation of the Holy Lord's name?

So you can't escape it, huh?

50. Bai Zhi, forced to go to the military camp

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhi decided not to say anything more.

Let's just call it Shen Du then; it's much more comfortable than just using the name "Holy Lord" directly.

"So, Bai Zhi, how do you plan to go to the other world?" After confirming that Bai Zhi could bring people with her, Jing Yuan asked with great interest.

To be honest, as the general of the Luofu Immortal Ship, he has rarely left the Luofu Immortal Ship since he took this position hundreds of years ago.

Even if they go out, they won't stray too far from the immortal ship. Now, being able to use the excuse of helping Bai Zhi to go out and have a good tour is naturally excellent.

After all, he had always dreamed of being a seafaring knight-errant.

"Hmm... I don't know either. It seems to be random, it depends on luck. Maybe I'll be leaving in the next second, but it's also possible that I'll have to wait a while for this opportunity."

Bai Zhi herself didn't understand how the system was triggered. It seemed to be random each time, or perhaps it resonated with something before giving a prompt.

"I see..."

Jing Yuan nodded knowingly. This was not unexpected for him. After all, when Bai Zhi disappeared from the immortal ship, the surveillance video clearly showed that she was not prepared at all.

"So now, when you're about to travel to other worlds, do you have a premonition in advance?"

"Yes," Bai Zhi said without hesitation.

"That's good. If you're about to travel to another world, remember to message me and I'll come to your side with Fu Qing immediately."

Jing Yuan was very satisfied with Bai Zhi's answer. What he feared most was a sudden attack. In such a situation, sometimes even if he was by her side, he might not be able to react in time.

If one can have premonitions, then one can deal with everything calmly, and one can also spare energy to handle the affairs of the Immortal Ship.

"Then, the meeting is adjourned!"

Jing Yuan looked around and said in a deep voice.

After everyone dispersed, Jing Yuan walked up to Bai Zhi.

"General, is there anything else?" Bai Zhi looked at Jing Yuan who was walking over with some doubt. "I am still very safe on the Immortal Ship. I shouldn't be suddenly teleported away. General, you don't need to stay by my side to protect me, do you?"

Jing Yuan shook his head. "I'm not going to stay by your side to protect you. Although the Immortal Ship is not foolproof, it's not that dangerous either. As long as you are not suddenly teleported, no matter what happens, the Cloud Cavalry will provide rapid support."

“But support is always delayed, and you probably don’t want me to send someone to follow you around all the time.”

"That's true... I don't want the Cloud Cavalry following me around all the time."

Bai Zhi nodded. She knew very well that she had the dog talisman. Although she might not be able to defeat a strong enemy, at least she wouldn't die, and her personal safety could be guaranteed.

Having a bunch of Cloud Cavalry soldiers around you is impressive, but it gets annoying after a while. After all, nobody likes having a group of people around them all the time; everyone needs their own private space.

"Yes, I know that people your age value freedom, so I won't force you to send someone to follow you. But there is one thing I need you to do."

At this point, Jing Yuan became serious.

"What?" Bai Zhi asked, somewhat concerned. It was the first time she had ever heard Jing Yuan speak to her in such a slightly commanding tone.

For some reason, she had a vague sense of unease, feeling that Jingyuan might tell her something terrible.

"You need to learn some combat skills and acquire some equipment."

Jing Yuan stared intently at Bai Zhi and uttered these words.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi was taken aback. "Combat skills and equipment?"

“That’s right, Bai Zhi. You should know that there are only a million Cloud Cavalry on the Luofu Immortal Ship, right?” Jing Yuan lowered his head, looked at Bai Zhi, and asked.

"I remember, but General, what does this have to do with me?"

Bai Zhi frowned, the ominous feeling in her heart growing stronger.

Seeing Bai Zhi's expression, Jing Yuan smiled slightly.

"The Immortal Ship of Luofu now has a population of hundreds of billions, while the Cloud Cavalry only has a mere million. It's not because the people of the Immortal Ship don't want to be soldiers, but because every Cloud Cavalry soldier is one in ten thousand, no, one in a million. Each of them possesses formidable combat power, enough to sweep across a region even in a lower-level civilization."

"As for Bai Zhi, I also know about your situation at the Black Tower Space Station and the Frozen Planet. Your talent in combat must be quite high, but you are obviously just fighting on instinct and know nothing about the use of weapons and tactics."

"This is a huge waste of your talent, so I think you need to go to the Cloud Cavalry barracks and train properly."

"At the same time, you will also be issued some advanced weapons, such as intelligent levitation unit weapons, ray bows, and energy shields, but these weapons require rigorous training to unleash their full potential."

Bai Zhi remained silent for a long while before asking in a weak voice, "General, may I refuse?"

Bai Zhi knew that what Jing Yuan said was correct, but she was very clear about the training intensity of the Yunqi Army. There were quite a few people in the Yunqi Army who came to Bai Lu for medical treatment, most of whom were suffering from the effects of the extremely intense training.

They'd either have broken legs, broken spines, or all sorts of strange injuries. If they were short-lived species, those injuries would be enough to kill them ten times over.

This gives us an idea of ​​the sheer brutality of the training.

If I go by myself, someone will die, right?

Her dream was to be a graceful sorceress, not a warrior wielding weapons and hacking people down.

“No, that won’t do.” Jing Yuan said with his fox-like smile, “Although your status is indeed very high in a strict sense, I’m doing this for your own good. If we go to another world, I can’t always be by your side, so you must have some combat skills.”

"No!!"

Bai Zhi let out a wail, but it was too late, because Jing Yuan immediately waved his hand, and two Yunqi soldiers came up and grabbed Bai Zhi, heading towards the barracks.

Watching Bai Zhi being carried away, and Bai Lu running after her, Fu Xuan asked Jing Yuan curiously, "General, is this really alright? Aren't you afraid Bai Zhi will hate you?"

Jing Yuan waved his hand, "I spent quite a while in Bai Zhi's ward, so I know her very well. She's very mature and not childish. She should know very well whether we're treating her well or not."

"The training in the Cloud Cavalry barracks is tough, but it also provides tremendous opportunities for growth."

51. The stubborn Yanqing

"Is this... the Cloud Cavalry's barracks?"

Bai Zhi looked at the scene before her with some shock, feeling that a poem could describe it: "A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the desert, the setting sun hangs round over the long river."

The vast desert, the sun high in the sky, and the ancient-looking, massive buildings standing in the desert, where countless Cloud Cavalry soldiers are training in numerous training grounds.

Clearly, the theme of this cave is to highlight a fierce and heroic spirit, which perfectly matches the temperament of the Cloud Cavalry.

"It's truly breathtaking; this is my first time here too."

Bai Lu, who had run over with her, also remarked with a sigh.

"But it's too dry here. I prefer a more humid place."

"Bai Zhilongnu, this is the Yunqi Army's barracks. We will contact the relevant personnel immediately to pick you up."

The two Yunqi soldiers who brought Bai Zhi here smiled kindly and spoke to her in a very gentle tone.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, speechless. It wasn't that she was powerless to resist; with the power of the Dragon Talisman, even the elite Cloud Cavalry of the Divine Strategy Bureau would have a hard time with her. But she wasn't crazy enough to launch an attack on the Cloud Cavalry.

Moreover, Jingyuan is absolutely right. When facing battle, I have always relied on instinct rather than a methodical approach.

It might be useful against brainless guys like the Antimatter Legion, but against elite Cloud Cavalry, they'll likely use all sorts of tactics to avoid damage and launch a swift attack.

To put it bluntly, her current abilities are only suitable for fighting brainless opponents and those of lower skill level than her.

"Oh, what are you all doing here? And is this Lady Bailu, the Dragon Girl with Medicine? Are you here to provide medical treatment for the soldiers?"

Suddenly, a lively voice reached everyone's ears.

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Bai Zhi looked in the direction of the sound.

With her vibrant face, twin ponytails fluttering as she runs, and chivalrous attire, who else could it be but our beloved Li Dazhentou, Li Sushang?

"Hello, we are guards from the Shence Prefecture. We are here to allow Bai Zhilongnu to receive training from the Cloud Cavalry. Did you receive a notice to come and greet us?"

The Shence Palace guards standing behind Bai Zhi immediately blocked Li Sushang's path and asked sternly.
