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

Wandering in Changletian, Danheng yawned and looked around at the things around him.

It's somewhat novel, but not much.

Walking on the street and watching people come and go can indeed help regulate one's mood, and Danheng felt much better.

But it's only temporary.

As Danheng walked, he suddenly saw a place with a long queue.

This piqued Danheng's curiosity, and he decided to take a look at the list.

Even at the end of the line, one could see the four characters "悬壶济世" (meaning "to heal the sick and save the world") on a plaque. Danheng decided to take a look, just to give it a try.

"Hmm... Go back and get some more sleep."

"Hey, hey, who told you to eat so many sweets? Now that you're here looking for me, what can I do?"

"Here's a prescription for you. Just take it for two or three days, twice a day."

"..."

The vibrant voice grew clearer, and Danheng knew which shop he was in.

After seeing off the second-to-last patient, Bai Lu lowered her head, tidying up the medicine while shouting loudly.

"Next person!"

Danheng woke up upon hearing Bailu's shout and sat down next to a chair.

"Doctor, I haven't been sleeping well lately, what should I do?"

"Hmm... If that's all, try sleeping in a quieter place, or change your sleeping position, and eat less spicy or stimulating food before bed."

Bai Lu was busy with her diagnosis when she looked up and realized that it was an acquaintance.

"Ah, it's you!"

A look of delight appeared on Bai Lu's face, but the smile was immediately replaced by seriousness.

If a doctor sees a patient, he will try to help her, let alone if it's someone he knows.

"Big sister, why are your dark circles so bad?"

The first thing Bai Lu noticed was Dan Heng's two large dark circles under his eyes, which puzzled her.

My older sister seemed like a perfectly nice person just a few days ago. How did she change like this in just a few days?

Next, Bai Lu saw Dan Heng, who was constantly yawning, and her pale face.

The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, which looked like the result of overwork and restlessness.

Bai Lu glanced at Dan Heng, who still looked exhausted, and then peeked out to observe the group behind her.

"Big sister, why don't you go in and rest for a bit? I'll treat you properly after I've finished examining the rest."

Danheng nodded and walked into Bailu's clinic.

A delicate fragrance wafted from the clinic, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

The room was a bit stuffy. Danheng looked around and found the window, then casually pushed it open.

Click——

Not noticing the movement of the hand, Danheng looked at the window with some confusion.

At each of the four corners of the window, golden panels held it firmly in place.

Although the sunlight could shine through the window, Danheng felt no warmth standing inside.

The dense shadows cast by the sunlight clearly brought a greater chill.

It is not outwardly apparent, but it penetrates to the bone.

Danheng found a comfortable spot and was about to rest when a familiar voice came from outside.

"General? What brings you here again?"

"Well, there's one more person here."

"Oh, it's you, big sister. If you're not in a hurry, please come in and have a seat. But remember to keep your voice down."

As I pushed open the door, sunlight briefly streamed in, but was immediately blocked by two figures.

When Jing Yuan and Jing Liu entered the room, they were both taken aback to see Dan Heng slumped in his seat, looking weak and listless.

Danheng blinked his tired eyes and greeted him.

"It's you guys, long time no see."

Looking at Dan Heng's extremely poor expression, Jing Yuan didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Danfeng, what happened to you?"

Jingliu also cast a concerned glance, but Danheng only moved his lips without saying anything.

Dan Heng waved his hand and went back to his seat to slump down.

Jingliu pulled Jingyuan into the next room, glanced at Danheng who had his eyes closed, and nodded.

In the blink of an eye, a little fox skillfully jumped out from between Dan Heng's eyebrows and landed on Jing Liu's shoulder.

He quietly sat down in the spot furthest from Danheng, and Jingliu plucked the fox off his shoulder.

"Tell me what's going on."

Bai Heng, who had transformed into a little fox, also hung his head and said somewhat dejectedly.

"It's a long story."

"Let's keep it brief."

"..."

Bai Heng organized his thoughts and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"You all still remember what happened back then, right?"

Jingliu and Jingyuan paused for a moment, then nodded quietly.

"It has nothing to do with that."

"?"

"Okay, just kidding, but there's actually a bit of that in it."

A frost-covered hair drifted down in front of him, and Bai Heng tenderly pressed the poor hair under his paw.

Feeling the temperature drop, Bai Heng shivered.

"In short, it's because Sister Danheng can't reconnect with her previous memories right now. It's like something is blocking her, preventing the memories from returning."

"But the problem is that Sister Danheng's soul subconsciously embraces these memories, which leads to a conflict between the two sides."

"Countless emotions pile up, but there is no corresponding memory to store them."

"If this isn't resolved, it will eventually exceed that threshold, and eventually..."

Bai Heng did not explain the last three words, but as a member of the Immortal Boat, no one would be unfamiliar with those three words.

"The demonic body..."

Jing Liu opened his trembling lips and bitterly uttered the unsolvable nightmare that haunted the fate of the Immortal Ship people.

Jing Yuan's expression wasn't good either. As someone who had witnessed countless people parting ways with their former relatives and friends because of the Demonic Yin Body, even on the "Danheng" line, he could feel the pain brought by the Demonic Yin Body the most.

"But isn't Sister Danfeng the Dragon Lord? And just a few days ago she looked like a newborn baby, so why is she like this today..."

Bai Heng shook his head, looking quite troubled.

“I don’t know why, but I can only help alleviate the burden a little by capturing those memories and emotions related to ‘me,’ but it’s just a drop in the ocean.”

"What's going on now?"

"This is bad. Sister Danheng hasn't slept for several days. Although she's still some distance from the Demonic Yin Body, I'm afraid her body will collapse before the Demonic Yin Body even arrives."

"..."

"Isn't Dan Feng the Dragon Lord? Then what about reincarnation..."

Jingliu realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence and shut up.

"It's a blessing that Sister Danfeng still remembers us after that incident."

Jing Yuan gave the same bitter smile.

"It's already a great stroke of luck to be able to see Sister Danfeng again."

"In each reincarnation of the Dragon Lord, although the face is the same, is it still the same as the previous life?"

"Besides, Sister Danfeng's current condition..."

The three people present were all enveloped in a heavy atmosphere, their expressions very solemn.
