March 7th: Stelle! Your Wife's Having Someone Else's Baby!

"Um..."

The craftsman who designed this lock was quite skilled.

Theoretically speaking, if Bailu were to master a certain degree of the Permanence power, she would be able to truly dream of the images of the Ancestral Dragon from the past.

Once the inheritance of the Dragon Lord's power is complete, unlocking this lock will be a piece of cake.

Conversely, if the complete power of the Dragon Lord cannot be obtained, then this lock can only be unlocked by outsiders.

The craftsman who made this lock probably meant well.

But those who demand to lock up the Bailu probably don't have good intentions.

Through the lock, Lin Shuang could sense the Power of the Permanence circulating within Bailu's body.

Its strength cannot be described as weak, but it is in an uncontrollable state.

It's fair to say that Bailu definitely learned some Cloudsong Arts, but her skill level... is probably about the same as Lin Shuang's skill level in Medicine.

Moreover, to be honest, it's unknown whether anyone in the Sushang actually tried to teach her the Cloudsong Arts.

The abilities to control lightning and draw water were all awakened through free consciousness, and then, in the blink of an eye, they were locked in place.

Therefore, because Bailu never tried to grasp or control it, its control over it was almost zero.

Although mastering the power would unlock it, this lock is designed to suppress the Permanence power, so how could Bailu possibly learn and master it?

This lock may seem to offer a solution, but it's really just for show.

After all, Bailu all her time researching medicine, and no one taught her the Cloudsong Arts, so where would she learn to unlock it?

Why are you staring at my Tail? You have one too.

Bailu's words startled Lin Shuang, drawing her attention back to the present.

Bailu just twisted her waist, trying to pull her Tail back, but she couldn't budge it even after two tugs.

She then remembered that she seemed to have heard that Lin Shuang used a Greatsword that was almost as tall as a person.

His strength must be considerable.

"Nothing, just checking out the lock on your Tail."

Lin Shuang loosened the large lock, and saw Bailu's Tail swirl back with a whoosh.

"Oh, this? My family members from the Dragon Master's household were hanging on my Tail; it was so heavy."

Do you want to untie it?

"Ah?"

Lin Shuang's words were astonishing, Bailu looked up at him with a blank expression.

Lin Shuang smiled without saying a word, calmly looking back.

Of course, she wouldn't unlock the lock for Bailu directly.

The incomplete Dragon Lord power within Bailu's body was ultimately out of control.

Untying it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Bailu.

For example, if water or electricity suddenly sprays out while treating or saving someone, that would be bad.

Besides, unlocking the lock like that would immediately put both myself and Bailu in the spotlight.

There's no need to create so much trouble for yourself.

However, Bailu could learn the Cloudsong Arts that Lin Shuang had just learned.

Once Bailu has gained some power, we can let her unlock it herself.

That's the safest way.

After all, they directly obtained the clan -Sushang Clan-Suppressing Arts of the Vidyadhara clan.

In return, Lin Shuang gave the Sushang a Little Dragon Lord who knew the Cloudsong Arts, which could be considered a repayment of a loan.

Moreover, a legitimate and upright successor to the Dragon Lord has been offered to him.

Lin Shuang also wanted to see if the real Dragon Lord's spells would be any different from her own.

After all, Lin Shuang is not a true Long, and there might be differences between her and the Sushang.

Having a control group for the experiment is also a very good research direction.

So Lin Shuang raised her finger and gently beckoned to Bailu in front of her.

A small, Transparent Little Dragon materialized in the Teacup and flew into the air.

"I'll teach you the Cloudsong Arts. Once you've learned it, you'll be able to open the lock on your Tail by yourself."

"..."

Bailu didn't respond directly, but instead looked at Lin Shuang with a very complicated expression.

Although she had no real power and was confined to her quarters, she still learned a great deal about the Dragon Lord and the Sushang.

Today, I came to see Lin Shuang's two moves, and they completely stunned Bailu.

Looking at Lin Shuang, she was filled with deep self-doubt: Who among us is truly the next Dragon Lord of the Sushang?

How come you not only have the Dragon Form, but also know Cloudsong Arts?

Could it be that we were switched at birth?

Although Bailu didn't say a word, her eyes conveyed her meaning very clearly.

So Lin Shuang smiled and pinched Bailu's little face again:

"Don't overthink it. Don't tell anyone about this. If you want to learn, just come find me here later."

"Waaah--okay--"

Bailu, whose cheek was being pinched by Lin Shuang, decided not to think too much.

She was already tired of the lock on her Tail. If she could learn magic from Lin Shuang, it would be much easier for her to sneak out in the future.

"But first, will you come with me to another place to treat and save lives?"

The more Bailu was intimidated by Lin Shuang, the more she felt she hadn't made a mistake in choosing her. Lin Shuang was so capable; being with her gave her an overwhelming sense of security.

"Don't rush. The most dangerous phase is over. The Scythe of Annihilation has already shown signs of illness, and the Cloud Knights has evacuated and sealed off most areas of Starskiff Haven. If we just go out like this, where will we find the patient?"

Lin Shuang didn't really want to go out today; she'd rather practice her Cloud Cloudsong Arts a little longer.

Bailu, who was stopped by Lin Shuang, pouted and seemed to be struggling with her decision.

She had vaguely sensed this on her way here.

She hadn't thought about it much in her anger, but now that Lin Shuang had pointed it out, Bailu finally realized the problem.

Seeing Bailu hesitate, Lin Shuang said decisively:

"If you go looking for patients now, you can only find them at the Alchemy Commission's outpost. That's a wasted trip. Why don't you learn some magic from me?"

"Mmm..."

Bailu crossed her arms over her chest, her Tail swaying behind her, and frowned as she pondered for a long while.

Finally, I decided to listen to Lin Shuang, mainly because Bailu really hates going back.

There are so many rules and regulations, and she's also under house arrest.

It would be better to learn from Lin Shuang first.

Anyway, Bailu was still quite curious about this Dragon Lord's magic.

Although she was more curious about where Lin Shuang had learned all this.

Volume 1: Chapter 245 March 7th: Star! Your wife has another man's child!

Lin Shuang was surprised to find that Bailu was learning the Cloudsong Arts more smoothly than she had expected.

Lin Shuang was able to quickly get the hang of it thanks to the help of the Light Cone.

But after Lin Shuang's explanation, Bailu practiced it only a few times and it seemed like she was born with the skill.

They quickly became skilled at it.

Those Dragon Master hesitated and wasted Bailu's time, which was truly a waste of Bailu's talent.

And through observation of the Bailu.

Lin Shuang, upon discovering her identity as a member of the Sushang, received no special enhancement to the Cloudsong Arts.

In terms of adaptability, Lin Shuang, when displaying the Dragon Form, doesn't seem much weaker than Bailu, the rightful Dragon Lord Successor.

It seems that Cloudsong Arts are aligned; it is indeed the power of the path of The Permanence.

The Long race does not receive any additional bonuses simply because they are descendants of the Permanence.

At least on Bailu's side, I didn't notice anything different.

As evening approached, Bailu's stomach suddenly growled.

She held up the round, bird-shaped Water Orb in her hand and scratched her head sheepishly at Lin Shuang.

"Oh dear... I was in such a rush during the day, I only had some Pastries to tide me over. Do you have any food at home?"

Lin Shuang also withdrew her magic, causing the water to return to its normal flow.

She practiced for most of the day and was a little tired.

There must be some food stored in this house; Inner Acheron or she usually cooks some themselves.

But here's the problem--

"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner during the day? Why are you asking me now?"

"Oh right! Aha... I almost forgot, shall we set off? Let's go... let's go..."

Bailu was momentarily speechless. Normally, Starskiff Haven, being a major transportation hub, would never lack food.

But today is a special case; most of Starskiff Haven is closed, so it's unlikely that any restaurants will be open at this time.

Aurum Alley is a good place to visit, as it has many long-established shops, but it is less crowded and quite old in many ways.

If we're close, we could go explore different restaurants together.

However, Bailu felt that her relationship with Lin Shuang wasn't close enough for her to invite her to dinner at a small, old-fashioned restaurant; it would be somewhat impolite.

After much deliberation, Bailu decided to go and take a look at Changle Heaven.

"Let's go to Changle Heaven! There are many Cloud Knights there, and it's not like Starskiff Haven, a major Port, so there's definitely no blockade there!"

Bailu clapped her hands, put the water balloon back, and looked at Lin Shuang with great interest.

It seems she's already thought of something delicious and wants to eat it.

The port of the Xianzhou is now closed, and no one is allowed to leave except for some Xianzhou Starskiff scheduled to return.

The Starskiff Haven area is under the most strict martial law, while the Changle Heaven area is in a better condition.

Lin Shuang wasn't picky at all. When someone else was treating her to dinner, why should she be picky? She was just glad she had something to eat.

However, she originally thought that Bailu would take her to Aurum Alley.

I never expected that Changle Heaven would be such a safe option.

"I have no objection, but I'm wondering if there have been any major changes to the Cavern Entrance leading to Changle Heaven."

Lin Shuang thought about it carefully and realized that the Astral Express Crew in the game went directly to Changle Heaven.

That area must indeed be the least affected by the disaster.

"Let's go! Let's go! Let me think about what to eat later on the way."

Seeing that Lin Shuang agreed, Bailu immediately jumped off the sofa, grabbed Lin Shuang's hand, and tried to walk out.

"Wait a minute, don't rush."

Lin Shuang withdrew her magic and controlled her the Permanence power, removing the Dragon Form from her body and transforming back into the form of an ordinary girl.

Bailu was amazed.
