Collapse Iron: I am the Pleasure Commander, starting with the Demolition Company

"Xiyao Xiyao."

Outside the opulent bathing palace, Xing pulled Xi Yao aside and whispered in her ear:

Why didn't you let me stay?

Xing didn't quite understand why Xi Yao had pulled her away back then.

It's really embarrassing to leave before you've finished filling the cup!

Xi Yao rolled her eyes speechlessly, put her hands on her hips, and asked in return:

"What are you staying for?"

"Of course, it's to help fight that monster!"

"With the Heavenly Fire Greatsword in hand, dealing with it will be a piece of cake for me!"

……

Xi Yao was already starting to regret giving the Heavenly Fire Greatsword to Xing.

Sure enough, when physical strength reaches a certain level, even the smartest person becomes brainless.

Xing has started to dislike using his brain.

Just close your eyes and you're done.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Generally, people who use their brains are those who are at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Some strategies must be employed to bridge the gap and achieve the goal of defeating the strong with the weak.

But if your strength far surpasses that of your opponent, then what's the point of using your brain? Wouldn't I have possessed such great power for nothing?

My super intelligence tells me it's time to use my super power!

Under normal circumstances, this is not a problem.

Unfortunately, Xing encountered a strange mechanism on her first attempt at showing off.

To prevent Xing from getting too arrogant, Xi Yao flicked Xing's forehead with her finger, then glared at her fiercely and scolded her:

"yes!"

"That's right!"

"You can kill it instantly with just one use of Heavenly Fire."

"But each use is a huge drain on your energy. How long do you think you can keep it up?"

"Even if you can hold out, how long can your clothes last?"

"You don't actually think that using ice water to cool down will work indefinitely, do you?"

"Every time you use Heavenly Fire, your body temperature will rise a few degrees due to the backlash."

"If it accumulates to a certain level, the ice water will vaporize the moment it's poured on you, rendering it completely useless."

"Do you want to reset your character to factory settings in front of Wan Di and Bai E?"

Xing rubbed her throbbing forehead, pouting slightly as if she felt a little wronged.

After Xi Yao's explanation, she naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

He was a little shy about resetting himself in front of Xi Yao, but Xi Yao was a girl and his own sister, so it wasn't too bad.

But what if you were to be completely unprepared against Wan Di and Bai E and have your character reset to factory settings...

That's absolutely terrifying.

Xi Yao did this for her own good.

But she was still a little annoyed that she hadn't managed to fill the cup properly and had been interrupted halfway through. She muttered to herself with her head down:

"You didn't have to flick my head, did you?"

"What if I play it poorly and end up with something like 'March Star' (a character from a Chinese folktale)?"

"Alright, stop being so cute."

"I didn't even use any force."

At this point, Xi Yao paused, her eyes flickering as if she had seen something, and then suddenly changed the subject.

"And I have to criticize you."

"Who said March 7th is stupid?"

"March 7th is so clever, isn't he?"

Xing, who had been looking down, was suddenly stunned.

What's going on?

Why did Xi Yao suddenly praise March 7th?

She doesn't usually say things like that!

Isn't it her usual way of saying that March 7th isn't very smart, and that she likes to use that to lie to her?

Something is wrong!

Something is definitely not right!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Something must have happened that I haven't noticed.

Xing, who was pondering what had happened, suddenly noticed that Xi Yao had a wicked smile on her face, as if she had succeeded in her scheme.

Sister Xing, you're doomed!

Xing's head exploded with a bang, and a terrifying thought popped into his head.

Is it...

She slowly turned her head.

She saw March 7th standing not far away, hands on hips, face dark, staring at her with hostile eyes.

Xing froze, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

No?

March 7th just happened to arrive!

Spicy!

He got caught red-handed talking about someone behind their back!

She turned around and gave Chao Xiyao a wink.

(Help!)

(Help!)

Xi Yao spread her hands innocently.

(Sorry, I can't help you with that either.)

Xing's eyes widened instantly, filled with rage.

(You ungrateful bastard!)

There was nothing she could do; since Xi Yao refused to help her, she had to save herself.

She tried her best to calm her flustered heart and gave March 7th a slightly awkward smile.

"Haha, March, what brings you here?"

"Hey, the weather's really nice today! The moon's so big and round!"

puff~

Poor Xing, she's even talking incoherently now.

Xi Yao glanced at the large, round Dawn Machine on Kefal's back.

Yeah, it doesn't have any hair.

Except that it's not the moon.

After exchanging greetings, Xing turned around, feigning composure, as if nothing had happened.

However, her slow, receding steps betrayed her true feelings.

"Wang! Big! Core!"

March 7th pronounced Xing's name slowly and deliberately.

Feeling the murderous gaze of March 7 behind him, Xing immediately sensed something was wrong.

Buhou!

March 7th is going to be a disaster!

Run!

Without the slightest hesitation,

Xing dashed forward with all her might.

On March 7th, they immediately gave chase.

"Don't run!"

"If you don't explain to me clearly what 'March Star' means today, I won't let you off the hook!"

then,

Outside the incredibly beautiful bathing palace, this scene unfolded.

Stars ran ahead, howling like ghosts, while March 7th chased after them, his anger reaching the heavens and the earth.

She fled.

She chased after him.

She has no way to escape!

The chase continued for a while.

The stars finally managed to create some distance between them.

Just as I was about to catch my breath,

Xi Yao smiled slightly and quietly stretched out her leg as Xing Lu passed by.

"Damn it! You old bastard!"

Although Xing realized that this interference had come out of nowhere, it was too late to dodge.

After being tripped up by Xi Yao, Xing immediately lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Huh?

Why are there so many little stars in the sky?

Oh, so you were dizzy from the fall.

wrong!

I have to run!

If we don't run now, March 7th will catch up with us!

Xing, who had just overcome her dizziness and stood up, suddenly felt a fair hand placed on her shoulder.

Xing's body froze instantly.

Spicy!

Got caught!

Xing slowly turned around, revealing a very forced smile.

"Um... is it possible to reconcile?"

What do you think?

March 7th sneered, staring intently at her.

Xing swallowed hard in despair.

Finished!

……

After a period of playful banter, the anger over the seventh day of the third lunar month finally dissipated.

The price is...

Xing laughed until tears streamed down her face.

My stomach hurts from laughing.

She wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, rubbed her stomach, glanced resentfully at March 7th, and muttered:

"March, you went way too far!"

On March 7th, he crossed his arms and turned his head away.

"Hmph! It's so someone can talk bad about me behind my back!"

at this time,

not far away,

Bai'e, Xia Die, and Ti Bao walked over together.

"Alright, they're here."

"Let's go, we need to go to the meeting."

Xi Yao helped Xing, whose legs were weak, and led San Yueqi into the bath palace.
