Chapter 142 I'm glad you're okay
When I stepped onto the Luofu Fairy Boat again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Especially for Dan Feng's words, it was indeed a lifetime ago.
As soon as Lu Qi got off the passenger ship, she received a message from Jing Yuan saying that Yan Qing had been sent to pick her up.
"Jing Yuan said he sent his disciple to pick us up... Well, do you know Jing Yuan's disciple? The kid's name is Yan Qing. He's incredibly talented and has been on the battlefield since he was very young."
"I know."
Returning to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Dan Feng had no time to feel melancholy before he was interrupted by Lu Qi's questions.
He looked at the girl who was so excited that she made no secret of her intentions, and saw her moving in the busy port with her golden and red dragon horns and golden vertical pupils.
Like a swimming fish, he disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
He said that he should wait there for someone to pick him up, but he showed no intention of waiting and rushed into the stalls.
"Boss, give me two skewers of Qiongshi bird—"
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!"
During the short time she was shopping, Lu Qi chatted with the stall owner who recognized her and signed an autograph for him cheerfully.
Dan Feng couldn't help but follow her, sighing as he cleaned up the mess for her.
As the Dragon Lord of this generation, hasn't anyone taught her that she shouldn't leave her own traces behind?
If the person in front of her was intentional and used her signature or token to impersonate her instructions—
"Dan Feng, you worry too much." Lu Qi wrinkled his nose, his round eyes widening. "If anyone dares to use my things to do bad things, he will have to endure my revenge first - I have a very good memory!"
"Blocking all possibilities before danger occurs can also save you the effort of revenge."
"How can you assume that he is a bad person..."
Lu Qi muttered to himself, knowing that what Dan Feng said made sense.
Alas, some people remain the same even after hundreds of years.
"But isn't the nearest port too crowded..."
After a while, Yan Qing appeared in a hurry. It was obvious that the little guy was suddenly assigned a new job and rushed over from another place.
After seeing Lu Qi, the blond boy kept apologizing and explaining why he was late.
"We encountered some troublemakers on the way, which delayed us for a while. Sister Lu Qi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"We just arrived not long ago, and I'm from Luofu, so I don't need to answer... It's just that Jing Yuan is making a fuss," Lu Qi complained, and stuffed another skewer of Qiongshi bird skewers that he had never eaten into Yan Qing's hands, "Here, this one is for you!"
"Well...Yanqing is still performing official duties."
"That's strange, Brother Yanqing, you weren't so reserved before. What happened?"
The young man who used to be polite but sharp now seemed timid. Lu Qi patted him on the shoulder and changed the subject when Yan Qing showed his hesitation.
"Speaking of which, did brother Jingyuan say anything to you?"
"The general asked me to take you to the Shen Ce Mansion."
"It's not like I don't have long legs. Wouldn't he have just told me? This guy...it's not like I don't have long legs."
Dan Feng didn't even raise his eyes.
"Mostly it's a preparation for me."
Speaking of this matter, Lu Qi felt a little guilty.
She had just sent a text message two system hours ago to tell Jing Yuan that she would bring news of Dan Feng's return.
Jing Yuan immediately asked her which Dan Feng she was.
Lu Qi told him guiltily that it was Dan Feng whom they knew.
Anyway, no matter how she did it, she did bring Dan Feng back... But when she thought about having to explain the whole story to Jing Yuan later, Lu Qi wanted to run away right away.
Couldn't she just leave Danfeng here alone?
Unfortunately, Lu Qi knew that she could not escape the consequences. As long as she stayed in the fairy boat, she had to give Jing Yuan an explanation.
She had indeed caused trouble that was difficult to resolve by her willful behavior...
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Dan Feng's resurrection might not be a good thing for the Chiming Clan of Xianzhou.
Of course, this is also true for the entire immortal boat.
I'm afraid even she herself will become the target of public criticism.
In order to avoid being watched along the way, Lu Qi and Dan Feng both used the Cloud Chanting Technique as a cover.
Yanqing watched from the side, occasionally casting a scrutinizing glance over.
"Brother Yanqing, if you have anything to say, just ask directly. There's no need to keep staring at me."
"Um... Yanqing, excuse me," the blond Cloud Rider boy asked politely, "You're not Teacher Dan Heng, are you?"
"Why do you think so?" Lu Qi asked with interest.
Yanqing remembered the former criminal of the Immortal Boat, now an unknown passenger on the Starry Sky Train, who was also the benefactor of the Luofu Immortal Boat.
He had fought with that man before, so he naturally knew his appearance and behavior.
Although the person in front of him looked the same as Teacher Dan Heng, his temperament was slightly different.
The most important thing is——
"He is taller than Teacher Danheng."
Lu Qi couldn't help but laugh in front of the two of them.
"Hahahaha..." She laughed until tears came out, and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Can you say it again? I want to record it and send it to Dan Heng."
"Sister Lu Qi!!"
Considering that Yan Qing called her sister, Lu Qi could only regretfully give up this immoral idea.
When he arrived at the Shen Ce Mansion, Lu Qi still had a relaxed smile on his face until he looked at Jing Yuan who was sitting at the desk.
The man with white hair and golden eyes was stunned for a moment when he saw the familiar face, then his eyes curved and he looked at Lu Qi with a smile.
"Sister Lu Qi, can you explain?"
"This...it's a long story..."
"Yeah, I'm listening."
Lu Qi scratched his cheek guiltily and asked him in a low voice.
"If I tell the truth, will you help me solve the problem?"
"...Are you worried that I'll hand him over to the Juuou Division, or will you continue to keep him locked up in the Prison?"
Not really.
Even though Dan Feng had a criminal record, he had already served his sentence in his previous life. Although Dan Heng was under strict supervision after his reincarnation, it was mainly because Master Long had done something inexplicable to him during his reincarnation.
Many forces watched over him and prevented anyone from approaching him, so he left the Immortal Boat after he became an adult.
Speaking of which, it was Jing Yuan who facilitated Dan Heng's departure from the Luofu Immortal Boat...
Jing Yuan looked at Dan Feng steadily.
The person in his memory should have faded, but now he stood vividly before him. Even if he believed his eyes, at certain moments, Jing Yuan felt like he was still in a dream.
Even when Lu Qi woke up from the chaos, he could still have a clear conversation with him.
Is it a sweet dream? Or a nightmare?
He couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt a little happy.
After all, this was his old friend.
The old friend had not lost his mind, and his upright figure was still as strong as a pine or cypress. When Lu Qi was around, his eyes never left her direction.
Just like now.
The handsome former Lord Long Zun took a step forward, almost blocking Lu Qi behind him. He stood at the bottom of the steps, his chin slightly raised.
The frosty blue dragon horns meandered upwards, and the green pupils still carried an indescribable majesty.
"I'll explain it for her."
"Explanations are all you can say, but could you two stop looking like you're about to fight... If you want to fight, go to the dance studio—ugh, go to the practice stage."
Forget about fighting, Jing Yuan has no intention of using his old arms and legs to deal with Dan Feng.
Simply put, he couldn't win.
If he can’t win, can’t he just play the victim?
Jing Yuan sighed, his tone self-deprecating and a bit aggrieved.
"Sister Lu Qi, you finally forgot about the new love when you had the old one. How can I deal with two Dragon Lords? I'm afraid I overestimate Jing Yuan."
"...Don't be so sarcastic when you speak, your apprentice is watching!"
"Ah... General and the two teachers, you can just pretend I don't exist. I won't say anything!"
After the nonsense interrupted, the atmosphere between the few people was no longer tense.
Yanqing wanted to continue listening, and when he pricked up his ears, Jingyuan ruthlessly sent his disciples away.
The blond boy continued to perform his official duties with full of doubts.
Lu Qi hesitated to speak.
"Actually, I've wanted to say this a long time ago, Brother Jingyuan, you're employing child labor..."
"Although Yanqing is the youngest Cloud Cavalryman, he still went to school."
"Isn't this even worse?!"
Lu Qi complained a few times, and finally spoke in a low voice under Jing Yuan's calm gaze.
"Jing Yuan... do you know Liuguang Yiting's techniques?"
Jingyuan nodded.
"Dan Feng... had a deal with the messenger from the Liuguang Memory Court before," she said simply. "The messenger used special technology to preserve his memories... After entering Pinoconi, the memory made Dan Feng a meme."
"So, Dan Feng is now..."
"He is a genuine member of the Chiming clan."
"...You used the Dragon Transformation Technique on him?"
"Not really..." Lu Qi looked away, "I just simply made a statue for 'Meme' Dan Feng."
Jing Yuan thought for a moment, and finally asked the question that Lu Qi least wanted to answer.
"So, what did you use to create his body?"
"..." Lu Qi didn't say anything, and Dan Feng, who was pouring tea for her, raised his frowning brows.
"If she doesn't want to say it, then I'll answer it."
The honorable Lord Longzun put down his cup smoothly and spoke calmly.
"It's her flesh and blood."
The cup in Jingyuan's hand fell heavily on the coffee table, and the splashing tea wet his clothes.
He should have thought of it.
Lu Qi's body was blessed with abundance, and even Shu Hu coveted her flesh and blood. In the years since her death, the army of abundance has relentlessly attacked the Luofu Immortal Boat, attempting to seize her body.
The people from Dandingsi once took her blood to study the secret of her power.
Some people in the alliance wanted to destroy her body, while others wanted to bring her back to life. Jing Yuan endured the pressure and tried her best not to disturb her peace.
Even today, she still doesn't care about herself and is willing to set an example by herself to save her old friend who should have become a dead soul.
Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and held half of Lu Qi's cheek with his big palm.
The warm flesh was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but found that his fingertips were still trembling uncontrollably.
She acted so willfully and recklessly that she brought back such shocking news just by going out for a trip.
...What if one day only a corpse comes back?
Jingyuan didn't know if he could endure the second separation.
A closer look revealed that Lu Qi's golden dragon horns had undergone obvious changes, and the red part, like a hideous scar, showed that she was different from before.
Lu Qi was startled by his pale face and subconsciously rubbed Jing Yuan's palm.
"I'm sorry..." she said softly, "I'm too willful."
Jingyuan has a lot to say.
He wanted to say that if one day he fell into such a situation, he should never do such a thing to change his fate for him.
He would rather return to dust than see his old friend pay an unknown price just to resurrect a dead person.
but.
but--
"…I'm glad you're okay."
Jing Yuan said.

Anyway, I will resume updating for the time being. I will slowly make up for the interruptions I missed during my illness... [Poor]
