Apart from "Moonrise" and "Wind Shadow," the Sky Sun Shuttle is also equipped with thirty single-occupancy rooms and sixty cabins for double or multiple occupancy. There are also four Cultivation Rooms, with the walls embedded with a large number of Star Falling Stones. Inside the skyship, there are also Blue Snow Candles, carpets made from Pinetree Snowy Bearskin, antique furniture, and a fancy dining room for Chi Xi’s use, all strikingly contrasted with the harshness outside. Even Miss Shalman from a noble family couldn’t find a single fault. "It’s a pity, the Sea Suppressing Gravity Ring owned by Lady Qing Yan has gone missing, otherwise using that ring, another Gravity Cultivation Room could be modified," Yue Jinghua lamented after inspecting the four Cultivation Rooms. After the tour of the Sky Sun Shuttle, Yue Jinghua proposed to also install two new Xuan Crystal Cannons onto the skyship. In Yue Jinghua’s view, the Sky Sun Shuttle is not only the first skyship she owns but will also serve as her warship when facing unforeseen incidents in the future. Previously, Qing Pu also said that a true warship, if not equipped with offensive weapons, doesn’t deserve to be called a warship. During the journey on the Fire Reversal, Ni Qianjun also expressed the same sentiment. Two Xuan Crystal Cannons from the Helian Family can multiply the ship’s combat strength several times over. After some discussion, the group installed the Xuan Crystal Cannons on the left and right sides of the Fire Reversal. Qian Luo also suggested that Yue Jinghua should rename the Sky Sun Shuttle. Although the current form of the Sky Sun Shuttle is quite different from its previous appearance, it’s still better to change the name, considering the notoriety of the names Sky Sun Shuttle and Earth Yin Escape, to avoid unnecessary trouble. After consideration, Yue Jinghua decided, "Titan, the new name for the Sky Sun Shuttle shall be Titan, the air-borne titan, invincible in any direction." Once everything was ready, Yue Jinghua instructed Qian Luo to do a final check before departure, then went to Jin Nuo’s residence to finalize the departure early the next morning. The next day, the Imperial Soldiers including Jin Nuo were all set, with about a hundred of them taking the Cloud Sailing back to Wo Hua Imperial City, while the remaining hundreds of soldiers returned the way they came. Jin Nuo thought Yue Jinghua had rented the Sky Sail, as the likelihood of custom-making a new skyship in mere half a month was extremely low. Ordinary people couldn’t possibly own equipment like a Sky Sail. As Jin Nuo waited, the Black Sky Winged Dragon flying in the sky let out a roar. A suspicious black shadow approached from the horizon. Upon closer inspection, they saw an unidentified wooden object flying towards them. When it neared the Black Sky Winged Dragon, Yue Jinghua came from behind with a group of her family members: "Brother Jin Nuo, we are ready to depart." "Is that your air... ship?" Jin Nuo didn’t know how to describe the skyship hovering in the sky. It’s neither a ship nor a sail, and he was very skeptical whether this so-called airship could endure the arduous journey and safely reach Wohua Imperial City. Brother Jin Nuo pulled Yue Jinghua aside and lowered his voice: "Little Brother Yue, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance. This flight is no simple affair, and with your air... ship, I’m afraid the journey may be unsafe." Jin Nuo was reluctant to mention it in front of outsiders, but last time at the Sky Dragon Palace, the indiscreet Luo Yun let slip about the Dragon Rider Team being ambushed during a mission. Since Yue Jinghua was already aware of the Dragon Rider Team’s situation, there was no need for him to keep it concealed anymore. "Are you saying that there could be attacks during the flight?" Yue Jinghua’s eyes gleamed with an unusual light. Jin Nuo, however, misunderstood her expression, thinking she was afraid. "You don’t know, the reason we chose the longer land route instead of Cloud Sailing, aside from the limited capacity, was also due to the appearance of sky bandits around Smoke Water Lake and the Balkan Plateau in the southern part of the Empire," Jin Nuo took out an air route map. Due to airspace control and the prevention of potential attacks by large Sky Beasts, the Empire does not prohibit the use of airships and aerial Dark Beasts, but there are explicit regulations for defined air travel routes. Most of these routes pass close to outskirts, wilderness, and forests—places far from bustle. Deviation from these routes entitles the County Guard Army in each region the right to engage in direct attacks. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 The Empire’s air travel routes are naturally more sophisticated than civilian ones, mostly avoiding aerial Dark Beast habitats. However, these carefully selected routes, which have been used for hundreds of years, have recently encountered problems. A mysterious group of sky bandits has emerged on these routes; they not only ambush passing merchant ships, but in recent months, they have even attacked Imperial airships escorted by Imperial Dragon Rider Guards twice. Sky bandits, compared to land bandits and sea pirates, are a kind of robber spoken of in the same breath, and their financial and cultivation resources are generally more difficult to deal with than the latter two. "According to the brothers who participated in those escorts, the attacking sky bandits possess an airship named ’Shadow’, and the number of the sky bandits is currently unknown. What we can be sure of is that they have combat-ready aerial Dark Beasts and a Dark Heavenly Master in command," Jin Nuo was worried precisely about this matter. The two Dragon Knights who were on guard duty, although rookies, were still attacked under their guard, one in front and one behind. If it weren’t for the timely presence of the Dragon Knight Mercenary Corps, the Empire might have lost two of its precious Imperial Dragon Knights. That’s why, upon seeing Yue Jinghua’s skyship, Jin Nuo was so deeply concerned. Right now, almost half of his men are wounded, and coupled with Yue Jinghua traveling alone, if they’re unlucky enough to encounter sky bandits, even if he could use the Black Sky Winged Dragon to fend off the enemy’s Dark Heavenly Master, he would not be too confident in being able to protect them if the bandits took the chance to ambush Yue Jinghua’s "wooden ship". While an encounter may not be certain, if it does occur, this "wooden ship" might have trouble just dealing with the enemy. "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Jin Nuo," Yue Jinghua was genuinely grateful. Jin Nuo’s kind warning would allow her to be on guard earlier. "But rest assured, although this little guy isn’t much to look at, it’s a private collection from the Duke Mansion left in the territory years ago. I’ve had it refurbished a bit; it shouldn’t have any major problems handling this long journey." While responding in such a manner, Yue Jinghua was secretly delighted. If there really were sky bandits, then that would be even better. Let’s not even mention that she was just looking for an opportunity to test the Xuan Crystal Cannon, rumored to be the strongest on the continent, made by the Helian Family. If the sky bandits don’t come, then so be it. But if they dare to show up, she would obliterate their ancestral tombs. Yue Jinghua wondered what the reaction of the sky bandits would be upon encountering someone even more bandit-like than themselves, and she smirked ominously. With an order, she commanded everyone to board the "Titan".
