The departed star swiftly returned, now looking much more serious without clutching onto the trash bin.

And so...

Bochang and the group decided to head for the Central Starskiff Haven.

Their reason was simple—to meet up with Dan Heng.

This plan had been discussed between Bochang and Welt Yang the previous night.

As outsiders,

Dan Heng couldn't simply travel elsewhere on his own via a star ferry. To leave the Central Starskiff Haven, he would need assistance from the cloud knight newcomer mentioned earlier—Sushang.

Of course...

Once Dan Heng joined them, concerns about transportation would no longer be an issue. After all, Bochang's group had received General Jing Yuan's permission to tour Xianzhou using the star ferries, ensuring no one would dare to obstruct their journey.

During the trip, they engaged in casual conversation, with March 7th even asking where Stelle had gone the previous night.

The gray-haired girl casually brushed off the question with an excuse and then asked March 7th what she had been doing last night.

From Stelle's perspective, after the pink-haired girl arrived...

she searched the room for her, but upon not finding her, proceeded to harass Bochang.

And then? Stelle drifted off to sleep, drowsily.

She wasn't awakened until the next morning by Bochang.

Strangely enough, entering the trash bin felt like coming home to Stelle. The sense of security while crouching inside was indescribable. She had already decided that Miyu's trash bin would be her second home from now on.

"W-we...we were obviously sleeping last night. What else could we have been doing?" March 7th responded under Stelle's gaze.

To be fair, March 7th technically didn't lie, but her response was as good as saying nothing.

Bailu, sitting beside Bochang, had no intention of self-destructing. Instead, she silently yawned. Compared to her usual bedtime, she had indeed slept rather late last night. So... it was unsurprising that she yawned shortly after waking up in the morning.

Yawning shortly after waking up was hardly surprising.

Stelle gave March 7th a deep, scrutinizing look; she knew the pink-haired girl was withholding information.

Feeling uneasy under this gaze, March 7th couldn't help but gently touched her delicate cheek.

Bochang interjected promptly, "March, contact Dan Heng and ask him to join us for the gathering."

"Oh... okay." March 7th immediately took out her phone.

Communications on Luofu Immortal Continent had become highly unstable due to Stellaron's interference. At times, connections were possible, while at others, they weren't - it was quite frustrating.

Stelle shifted her attention outside the window.

During the daytime, Luofu Immortal Continent looked even more stunning than at night.

As far as the eye could see, billowing white clouds filled the sky, with occasional star ferries soaring past.

Qingque rubbed her hands together excitedly, suggesting, "Since we're all just hanging around, why don't we play some cards?"

"I'm not interested, you guys can go ahead without me," Serval declined first.

Serval was the first to decline.

The blonde woman wasn't skilled at card games and didn't particularly enjoy them either. Instead of playing cards, she preferred strumming her guitar during leisure time.

While Bailu initially seemed interested, upon further thought, she decided to watch Bochang play instead.

And so...

the dragon little girl promptly sat on Bochang's lap, wrapping her tail around his waist.

Everyone had grown accustomed to Bailu's clinginess, showing no surprise or reaction.

Only March 7th appeared discontented.

Time passed leisurely as they enjoyed their card game. Eventually, Tingyun piloted the star ferry to the Central Starskiff Haven.

"Benefactors, we have arrived at our destination," the fox lady's voice suddenly announced.

Hearing this, everyone paused their game and began orderly disembarking from the star ferry.

Meanwhile, Dan Heng awaited Bochang and the group at a designated spot within the Central Starskiff Haven.

At present...

Bochang checked his phone.

Dan Heng was with his pet Pascal and familiar Sophia, having even taken a photo to share in their group chat.

Following the coordinates provided,

Bochang and the others hurried towards Dan Heng's location.

Soon, they found him beneath a large tree. Pascal stood motionless, surrounded by numerous birds—some taking flight, others landing, all chirping noisily—a peculiar sight within Central Starskiff Haven.

With just one glance, Bochang realized it was due to Sophia that these birds had gathered around them.

Of course...

The birds' assistance in gathering intelligence wasn't free, evident from the bag of food in Pascal's hand. Seeking help from animal friends always required treats as payment. This also served as a clever way to avoid suspicion; to ordinary observers, the animals congregating near Pascal would seem solely because he was feeding them, raising no further questions.

"You're here."

From a short distance away, the stoic little azure dragon noticed Bochang and his group, offering them a greeting.

March 7th raised her hand in response, saying, "Dan Heng, long time no see."

"We just met yesterday, didn't we?" Bochang remarked half-heartedly, feeling as if they had indeed experienced quite a lot since then.

However... it had truly been only one day since everyone arrived on Luofu Immortal Continent.

"One day is still a long time," March 7th glanced briefly at Bochang.

Dan Heng's gaze swept over the group, eventually settling on Bailu.

The young dragon girl, standing next to Bochang, looked at Dan Heng with curiosity. For some reason, Bailu felt that Dan Heng seemed familiar, yet she couldn't recall where they might have met before.

But that wasn't the main issue.

The key point was...

Bailu detected a faint trace of dragon aura emanating from Dan Heng, distinctly different from Bochang's scent.

Logically speaking, only individuals from Vidyadhara should possess this scent. Yet, Dan Heng clearly wasn't from there - his ears unmistakably indicated as much.

"Peculiar... truly peculiar. Why do you carry the scent of a Vidyadhara person?" Bailu furrowed her brows and leaned forward, studying Dan Heng intently, as if examining some exotic creature.

The dragon scents also varied distinctly. Bochang's aroma was unmistakably that of an unfamiliar type of dragon.

In contrast, on Dan Heng...

It was one hundred percent the scent of a Vidyadhara individual. Bailu felt certain about this, and curiously, she found the smell somewhat familiar and comforting.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Dan Heng offered an explanation, "There was a Vidyadhara person here earlier; perhaps it's their scent you're detecting."

Just as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept through.

Bailu suddenly noticed that the Vidyadhara scent in the air had become fainter, almost imperceptible, and it continued to diminish further.

"Ah, I see..." The young draconic girl didn't delve deeper into the matter.

March 7th's gaze shifted between Bailu and Dan Heng, completely puzzled by the situation.

"Could it be...that Dan Heng has some connection with Vidyadhara?" March 7th speculated internally.

Meanwhile, Welt Yang said, "Welcome back to the team, Dan Heng."

The stoic little azure dragon merely nodded without replying.

At that moment, a crisp female voice rang out from nearby.

"Mute Gourd, are these your friends?"

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice.

Upon spotting a certain blonde man, Welt Yang's pupils contracted, his expression instantly changing.

Bochang's eyes also widened slightly.
