Bochang took out his phone and watched as messages flooded the group chat, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

To prevent the conversation from spiraling in an undesirable direction, Bochang quickly intervened, typing rapidly on the screen before anyone else could send another message.

Bochang: "March, Stelle, I've gathered all the teleportation rings now. When are you returning? I'll hand them over to you."

Upon sending this message, the Astral Express family group instantly fell silent.

Then...

March 7th: "Soon, very soon. You can hold onto them for now; let's discuss further once I'm back."

Stars: "I'll try my best to return quickly."

Bochang responded promptly to Dan Heng's previous message, inadvertently stirring up more waves before the first had settled.

March 7th: "Since when did you get so close with Bailu? Don't tell me you're trying to win her favor by giving her gifts again?"

Bochang: "March, don't make unfounded accusations. Serval can vouch for me - I haven't given anything to Bailu. She just happens to like the scent on me."

Or rather, she enjoys the magic power from the Dragon Talisman within Bochang.

This was indeed proven to be true.

The Dragon Talisman's magic significantly enhances Bailu's status effects.

Serval: Bochang didn't give her anything.

March 7th: But didn't Bochang transfer his own power to Bailu? That counts as giving something...

Regarding Bochang allowing Bailu to undergo dragon transformation:

Everyone in the Astral Express group chat, except for Himeko and Pom-Pom, already knew about it.

Bochang: It doesn't count as giving something away!

After much discussion in the group chat, these matters finally settled down.

Seeing that he had successfully diverted the conversation, Bochang let out a sigh of relief. However, he also realized that this temporary calm with March 7th and Stelle might not last; future encounters could still lead to unforeseen complications...

Especially with March 7th, who may continue stirring up unnecessary drama.

Looking at the blonde woman, Bochang sighed exasperatedly, "Serval, why did you post those photos in the group chat...?"

"We weren't doing anything secretive; what's wrong with taking a few pictures? Don't make a fuss over it." Serval casually waved her hand.

For some reason, Bochang noticed a hint of an enigmatic smile on her face.

The observing Cloud Knights had received their fair share of relationship envy, their expressions revealing admiration and jealousy.

With a golden-haired beauty to his right and Lord Bailu to his left, it was impossible for Bochang not to attract such feelings.

Perhaps due to their animated movements, Bailu stirred from her slumber. She groaned softly, rubbed her eyes, and sat up, asking, "Hmm... How long have I been asleep?"

"About half an hour."

Bochang checked the time without missing a beat.

Yawning, Bailu adjusted herself comfortably on the bench. With a slight tilt of her head, she swung her petite feet that couldn't quite reach the ground.

"Half an hour...that's about right. Let's continue our journey then. There are still many places to explore at the Seat of Divine Foresight..." With that, Bailu hopped off the bench and gently patted Bochang's thigh with her tail, signaling him to follow.

Bochang glanced at Serval and smiled. "Since Bailu is awake now, let's keep exploring. We should take more 'photos' elsewhere as keepsakes."

The blonde woman deliberately emphasized the word "photos."

Instantly, Bochang recalled their intimate poses during the earlier photo session, leading his thoughts to wander wildly.

Just as the trio prepared to resume their excursion, an unexpected figure arrived with several Cloud Knights in tow.

It was Judge Xueyi from the Ten-Lords Commission—a juggernaut puppet.

With black hair and red eyes, upon first glance, she reminded Bochang strikingly of Schwarz. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed mechanical traces on her body—indicative of Xianzhou's mechanized juggernaut puppets.

In simpler terms, she was a mechanically augmented human.

"I am Judge Xueyi of the Ten-Lords Commission. Are you Bochang, Serval, and Dragon Girl Bailu?" Xueyi's expression remained cold as she observed the trio closely.

The Six Divisions of Xianzhou comprised seven institutions in total. The Ten-Lords Commission was one such hidden entity, commanding respect from all across Xianzhou.

Bailu spread her hands and spoke first, "Judge Big Sister, what brings you here?"

"By order of General Jing Yuan, I am to escort you three with me." Xueyi's voice showed little emotion.

This startled the young dragon girl.

"With you? Where? It can't be The Shackling Prison, no way! I'm not going there!" Bailu frantically waved her hands.

As she did, a faint white glow began emanating from her body.

Bochang swiftly reached out and gently restrained Bailu's shoulder, preventing her from using the Dragon Talisman's magic to transform.

"Don't panic, let her finish speaking first."

Feeling wronged, Bailu turned back to look at Bochang and whimpered, "The Shackling Prison sounds terrifying..."

"Rest assured, I won't take you there," Xueyi shook her head. "It is the Vidyadhara Dragon Master who specifically requested to meet with Bailu. Therefore, General Jing Yuan ordered me to bring you both."

Within Xianzhou, members of the Vidyadhara sect held numerous positions across the six divisions. All these individuals unanimously recognized Bailu as their next High Elder.

This level of unity was not easily matched by ordinary people from Xianzhou or the fox race.

Unfortunately, the Vidyadhara population was significantly small compared to the fox race and Xianzhou natives.

Due to their inability to reproduce, the population of Vidyadhara people had been steadily declining since ancient times. The Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion further exacerbated this decline. In Xianzhou Luofu, among the three major clans, Vidyadhara was the least populous.

Despite their strong unity, Vidyadhara's influence within Xianzhou Luofu remained relatively weak. Even one of the six divisions of Xianzhou held greater power than Vidyadhara.

Conversely, on Fanghu Xianzhou, the majority aboard that massive ship were indeed Vidyadhara individuals.

"Additionally... I need to inquire about matters concerning the Stellaron Hunters - specifically, the culprit who attacked you. I was tasked with tracking him down, and unexpectedly, the cunning criminal fled to Central Starskiff Haven... causing such chaos... This is my oversight..."

Upon hearing Xueyi's explanation, Bailu sighed with relief and gently patted her flat chest, still shaken.

"So that's what happened... I thought for sure you were sent by the General to arrest us and take us to The Shackling Prison due to our involvement in damaging Central Starskiff Haven. Thankfully, it was just a misunderstanding..."

Curious, Serval asked, "Is The Shackling Prison truly terrifying?"

"Absolutely! It strikes fear into every Xianzhou resident; many who enter never return." Bailu placed her hands on her hips emphatically.

Even Serval seemed startled by this description.

Xueyi glanced at the trio.

"Don't waste any more time, let's move quickly."

And so...

Bochang and his friends followed Xueyi away from the scene.

Throughout their journey, the Judge elder sister posed numerous questions about the Stellaron Hunter - Blade.

Bochang and his companions answered candidly, holding nothing back.
