Star Iron: The Past and Present Life of the Gender-Swapped Dragon Lord

"Guests, please come this way."

Tingyun led the way, taking the group to explore the Star Chariot Sea.

"Lord Yu Kong specifically emphasized that we should take a few of you to meet her first, so when we come out later, I will do my best to be a good host and show you around this immortal ship."

"Look, that tallest building over there is the headquarters of the Sky Ship Bureau, the 'Sichen Palace.' Lord Yukong is waiting inside."

Tingyun smiled and explained to everyone, acting as a dutiful tour guide.

Listening to Tingyun speak eloquently, March 7th couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"As expected of... uh, what kind of ferryman, he has such a commanding presence when he speaks."

"Please excuse my presumption. I'm in charge of ferrying merchants to and from the area. I have to say these flowery phrases every now and then."

"That's still amazing. If we were to try, it would probably take us hundreds of years to train to that level..."

"Not at all. If you, my guest, had a lifespan of several hundred years like Xianzhou, you would definitely have mastered a set of skills no matter what."

While chatting with Tingyun, the group arrived at the entrance of the so-called Sichen Palace.

The magnificent gate, painted a bright red, looks very high-end and grand.

After climbing two sets of stairs and passing the Yunqi (a type of military cavalry) standing guard, the group arrived at the gate.

"Miss Tingyun."

After greeting the two Cloud Riders on guard, Tingyun brought her face close to a small blue bead next to her.

After a series of ticking sounds, Tingyun took out a card from his pocket and swiped it in front of the blue bead.

Finally, a command that no one else could understand was given, and then the door opened.

Dan Heng felt somewhat ashamed looking at the door opening process.

Is it to prevent people from arriving at work right on time?

This whole routine takes at least three minutes.

"Miss Tingyun, please open the door..."

"Uh, well, actually I forgot to clock in at work today, so I'm just making up for it."

Tingyun gave an awkward smile, looking embarrassed.

However, despite appearing harmless on the outside, what they are thinking is:

"Once we take over the Immortal Ship, the first thing we'll destroy is this damned check-in system of yours."

Danheng, who heard the voice of his heart: ...

I have no opinion.

The gate opened, revealing a large, spacious area where several busy fox-people were moving back and forth.

He was either holding files or on the phone, or he had something written down in his hand.

What a bittersweet scene!

The gate opened, but everyone was busy with their own things, so the group went straight to the figure with long, blue hair standing on the high platform.

"Sir, I have delivered the guests."

Tingyun bowed to the blue-haired fox-woman who was busy communicating with others online with her back to them. The woman turned around upon hearing the voice.

Hidden beneath her long, cyan hair were a pair of purple eyes that held a hint of vicissitude, but the corners of her mouth always held a smile that was hard to tell whether it was joy or sorrow.

The white, tight-fitting outfit clung to her curvaceous body, with several jade pendants hanging perfectly in the empty spaces, and a mysterious red rope threaded through her waist, its whereabouts unknown.

With a flick of her snow-white thighs and a sway of her dark blue tail, a fragrant breeze wafted over. Yu Kong turned around and sized up the people standing there.

"Hello, guests of the 'Starry Sky Train,' I am Yu Kong, the captain of the 'Luofu' Immortal Ship. Welcome to our ship."

A calm and indifferent tone rang out, and Yu Kong was the first to greet them.

"Hello, Master, I am Walter, this is Qiong, March 7th, Danheng, and Jing..."

Since the other party had been so polite in introducing them, Walter also wanted to introduce his teammates, but when he got to Jingliu, Danheng stopped him with a look.

Although he had some doubts, Walter remembered that the Mirror Stream had a title called Sword Master, as mentioned by the Star Core Hunter, so he didn't say anything more.

Moreover, Danheng interrupting him must mean there's something he can't say, so Walter won't force him.

Jing Liu stood silently behind the group, not directly exposed to Yu Kong's view. Only a small piece of blue clothing occasionally fluttered out in mid-air.

Yu Kong didn't pay attention to it; instead, his attention was drawn to the pair of fox ears on Dan Heng's head.

"I've heard of the 'Star Train' before, but I've never had the chance to see it."

"We hope you have a great time in Luofu. We will arrange your accommodations."

Yu Kong has a very distinctive way of speaking; you can tell he's a former leader just by listening to him.

Walter listened to Yu Kong's words and pondered for a while before finally nodding.

They had only come to see Yu Kong once, and then there was nothing else to do, so the group ended their brief meeting.

The group turned and left, but Yu Kong's gaze remained fixed on them.

Their gazes swept across the area, and Dan Heng was spotted first.

Upon discovering Danheng, a fox-person with only ears and no tail, Yu Kong was initially taken aback.

Hmm... This characteristic seems so familiar.

Then, with a sharp gaze, he captured that moment when the white-haired girl made Yu Kong's pupils dilate.

Is that her? What is she doing here...?

Not sure, check again.

But it seemed that the other party had already sensed her gaze. Except for that one moment, the girl walking in front was completely blocked and not exposed at all.

Yu Kong watched as the group walked out the door before turning his gaze away.

Long, slender fingers swiped across the communication system, and soon tapped on an avatar.

"General..."

"..."

"Mr. Walter, what are you thinking about?"

Along the way, Qiong noticed Walter's thoughtful expression and couldn't help but ask him a question.

Walter snapped out of his daze and hesitated for a moment.

"It's nothing, it's just that... the Sky-Driving Commander was a bit too enthusiastic towards us. There are so many people coming and going on the Immortal Ships, and there must be quite a few famous figures among them. But we haven't done anything yet, and we've received such a level of hospitality..."

"It gives one the feeling that there is something inexplicable about it."

Qiong thought it made sense after hearing it, but March 7th didn't think so.

"Oh, why think so much? Now that we're here and they've given us the money, we should enjoy it to the fullest."

March 7th's thinking remains simple, but sometimes such direct thinking is indeed necessary.

"Little March is right, I was overthinking it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go and meet up with Miss Tingyun first."

Upon arriving outside the Sichen Palace, one could see Tingyun watching the star rafts flying around in the sky.

"Oh? Guests, you're here so quickly. I thought I'd have to wait a long time."

"The Tianbo Company has already booked superior rooms at the Yichen Inn for you all, and you are ready to check in."

Tingyun took out five round jade pieces with chips and handed them to the group, then sighed softly.

"Guests, please take your time to explore Luofu. I have work to do, so please excuse me."
