And with the appearance of the Dragon Form.

Not only did she feel the Power of the Permanence, but Lin Shuang also felt that even the Cloudsong Arts had become easier to control, and its power had increased significantly out of nowhere.

It's quite amazing; it truly lives up to its reputation as a spell exclusive to the Sushang.

Among the spells within the Light Cone, the one that seals the Jianmu is the most complex.

Lin Shuang found it a bit difficult to understand, but felt that with some effort she could master it; it was just that this place wasn't convenient for practice.

It can only be practiced in one's mind.

At the same time--

Not far from Lin Shuang's house.

A furtive blue dog, wagging its Tail, crept towards Lin Shuang's room, glancing left and right.

"Those stubborn old fogies... The Xianzhou is in trouble, and they're still blocking me from leaving! Humph! As Physician, this is the time to heal and save lives!"

Muttering to herself, Bailu looked left and right, her face showing deep thought:

"This place... if I remember correctly, it's Miss Lin's residence. Let me look for it..."

Bailu slipped away from the Alchemy Commission, intending to follow the same course of action as usual.

But the streets were full of Cloud Knights, Bailu really didn't have the confidence to avoid them.

After thinking it over, she remembered Lin Shuang, whom she had met once before and who had helped her once.

The other party has military power, status, and, most importantly, is willing to help me escape.

Bailu suddenly remembered that she had promised to treat the other person to a delicious meal.

There hasn't been a chance to fulfill this promise during this period of time.

Perfect!

This time, I've come to seek refuge with you, and I'm also fulfilling the promise I made last time.

After thinking carefully for a while, Bailu finally dug out the route to Lin Shuang's house from her Remembrance.

Then, with its short legs and wagging its Tail, it excitedly rushed towards Lin Shuang's residence.

Volume 1: Chapter 243 Bailu: I was thinking, the medicine I prescribed doesn't grow Tail either.

Lin Shuang never expected that someone would come looking for her at this time.

When the windowpane was being knocked on, Lin Shuang greeted them warmly.

She turned her head and saw a woman peeking out from behind the curtains by the window, which really startled her.

She got up, went over, pulled back the curtains, and looked outside, only to be met with Bailu's wide, round eyes.

Bailu also immediately noticed the pair of Dragon Horns on Lin Shuang's forehead.

Bailu was also stunned.

What's going on?

What's going on? I haven't seen Lin Shuang for a few days, how come she's become a Sushang?

Lin Shuang opened the window, ignoring the Dragon Form on her body, and looked down at Bailu.

She certainly didn't want the Sushang to notice her, but she never intended to make a big effort to hide it.

Just be careful when you go out normally, as for other times...

For example, right now, while Lin Shuang is practicing the Cloudsong Arts at home, she doesn't want to put away the Dragon Form and interrupt her comprehension of the Permanence and spells.

As for being seen by Bailu, so be it, it's not a big problem.

Even if Bailu Lu and Dragon Master were never on the same side, let alone the fact that they were actually exposed...

In any case, Lin Shuang had her own reasons for being confident.

So Lin Shuang maintained her Dragon Lady maiden demeanor and asked Bailu:

"Why are you knocking on my window instead of knocking on the door?"

"Hehehe... Sorry, sorry."

Bailu clasped her hands together and smiled foolishly at Lin Shuang, apologizing:

"Your front door faces the main road, and there's no one on the road today, so it's too conspicuous. The back alley is more secluded."

"Okay, so what are you doing here at this hour? Such a big thing happened on Xianzhou today, why aren't you staying home?"

"Hey~ Um, can I go in first?"

Bailu didn't care about the horn on Lin Shuang's head at this moment. She looked around, observing whether there were any suspicious people.

Then, clinging to the windowsill, he blinked at Lin Shuang, putting on a pitiful look.

Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh, so she simply reached out from the window and grabbed Bailu under her armpits.

Then, to her surprise, he gently lifted her up, cradled Bailu under her arms, and carried her small body into the house.

"Damn it—don't treat me like a child!"

Held Bailu angrily raised her hands and complained to Lin Shuang.

However, this only made it less convincing.

Lin Shuang chuckled as she put her down, without answering her question. She simply closed the window again and drew the curtains.

Bai Lu, who had been put down, Bailu out her cheeks and saw the pure white dragon Dragon Tail behind Lin Shuang.

They were even more surprised.

That's strange... Could it be that the medicine I prescribed caused the problem?

Because she had prescribed medicine for Lin Shuang recently, Bailu smacked her lips, feeling a little guilty.

No way.

Bailu mentally reviewed the prescription again; it seemed to be just a common recuperation formula.

If this could really grow Tail, countless members of the Sushang would come to her for medicine.

Lin Shuang turned around and saw Bailu Lu staring at her Tail, pondering something.

I guess he's questioning the meaning of life?

What are you looking at?

"Lin Shuang, are you perhaps Long has been separated from his family?"

The Permanence descendants are not limited to the Sushang; Bailu's guess was clearly a bit bolder.

They assumed Lin Shuang was a descendant of some other Long.

"Of course not. Instead, you should tell me what you're trying to do by running away this time."

Bailu wasn't really trying to find out whether Lin Shuang was Long; she was just simply curious.

She reached out and touched the scales on Lin Shuang's Tail, answering the question as she did so:

"The Xianzhou had an accident, so I thought I'd come out and help, but those old fogies wouldn't let me leave, so I came out on my own."

"..."

Lin Shuang pursed her lips; of course, Dragon Master didn't want Bailu to go out.

In any case, now that Jianmu has shown signs of disturbance, the Sushang, who sealed Jianmu, should be prepared to open the seal for General Xianzhou at any time to deal with Jianmu.

Regardless of whether Bailu can break the seal or not, she is a candidate for the position of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord.

At this point, I definitely need to be available whenever needed.

But Lin Shuang thought about it again,

Based on the limited descriptions of the Dragon Master in the game, these guys are used to being arrogant and were already very dissatisfied with the two generations of Dragon Lord.

In addition, Bailu never grew up, never dreamed of the Permanence, and even her Cloudsong Arts was a mess.

This situation already made some Dragon Master disloyal, and they didn't think much of Bailu.

So he didn't intend to explain anything to Bailu at all, and simply issued a condescending order to confine her to her quarters.

The maidservant in charge of Bailu had no idea about these inner workings; in any case, she had given such orders many times before.

Naturally, there was no way to explain things to Bailu in any meaningful way.

This naturally displeased Bailu.

Normally it's fine, if I can't go out, I can just treat other people's illnesses at the Alchemy Commission.

But now, many Xianzhou native are suffering from Scythe of Annihilation on the way, and the entire Xianzhou is evacuating people. Many patients simply don't have time to reach the Alchemy Commission.

While other Pharmacist are busy saving lives, she, as the Dragon Daughter of the Pharmacy, is a Sushang and also a part of the Xianzhou.

Are those old-fashioned fools, the Dragon Master, planning a rebellion?

What are you up to by stopping her from rescuing the Xianzhou native at this time?

So Bailu thought for a moment and, knowing the way well, slipped out.

This time, the Cloud Knights was short-handed and naturally couldn't find anyone to help capture Bailu.

This made Bailu's escape incredibly smooth, and she encountered no obstacles all the way to Lin Shuang's house.

That's Lin Shuang's guess.

After asking around, I found that Bailu basically thought the same thing.

However, Bailu didn't think that the Dragon Master was going to rebel; she just thought the Dragon Master was despicable and pedantic.

I didn't have a good impression of them at all.

Lin Shuang poured Bailu a cup of tea, then led her to sit down and rest for a while, also asking what the Dragon Lady planned to do next.

"Then why did you come here? The Starskiff Haven Central Hub must have suffered the most damage."

"Hehe, I just remembered that I promised to treat you to something delicious last time."

Bailu tilted her head back and gulped down two mouthfuls of water, then let out a sigh of relief and continued:

"I'm worried that after this happens, many businesses on the Xianzhou will be affected. If we don't eat here today, we don't know when we'll have another chance."

After finishing her tea, Bailu looked longingly at Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang reached out and pinched Bailu's tender cheek:

"I bet your invitation is just a pretense; you really want to hire a bodyguard. The place where the incident happened is teeming with Cloud Knights; you wouldn't dare go alone, would you?"

"Oh... just a side trip, by the way."

Seeing that her little scheme had been exposed, Bailu scratched her head sheepishly, while her Tail wriggled and patted the sofa behind her.

He looked embarrassed.

As Lin Shuang smiled, her attention was drawn to the lock on Bailu's Tail.

Volume 1: Chapter 244 Lin Shuang: Bailu, let me see!

The reason given in the game for the lock on Bailu's Tail is to prevent Bailu from losing control of the Dragon Lord's power.

The lock was specially made by Artisan from within the clan.

Of course, whether there was any intention to deliberately control Bailu in order to gain control over the new Dragon Lord is hard to say.

Lin Shuang reached out and grasped the large clasp.

Having gained much knowledge about the Dragon Lord, Lin Shuang discovered that she could understand the structure of the lock.

It's somewhat like a weaker version of the method of sealing the Jianmu.

They also used the Power of the Permanence to seal it.

However, Bailu happens to possess an uncontrollable Dragon Lord power within her.

Unable to control herself, Bailu's overflowing power flowed smoothly into the lock through the Dragon Tail, and then, with the help of this power...

The power of the lock was activated, and it restricted the Dragon Lord's power within Bailu's body.
