Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Five years have passed since the war on Akar.

Five years is a short time for immortal beings, and even a fleeting moment for interstellar travel.

Even the mission of Sword Master Yao Feng to protect the Luofu shipping route has lasted for ten years.

However, it was precisely because Yao Feng accepted this mission that Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu were able to receive her rescue.

Five years is a long time, and for Cheng Xiao, who was already of age, he aged considerably in just five years.

As a result, he spoke in an even more mature and old-fashioned manner.

He was already seventeen years old at this time, and had grown into a handsome young man.

However, he is a bit long-winded and nagging, which gives his master Yaofeng a headache.

His catchphrase is: "There's one more thing."

It always seems like there are endless things to explain.

Jingliu is already fifteen years old and has grown into a graceful young woman.

The girl grew up quickly, and Jingliu was actually a little taller than Chengxiao!

However, if Cheng Xiao grows up for another two years, he should be able to surpass Jing Liu.

After all, Cheng Xiao developed late; his adult height was 1.83 meters, it's just that his body's time has reversed.

Over the course of five years, Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu's relationship grew even closer.

两人几乎形影不离。

Jingliu's already aloof nature became even colder after experiencing a crushing defeat.

She rarely went out, and her mind was focused on only two things: practicing swordsmanship and riding the Xiaoyue sword.

This stubbornness and willingness to abandon all diplomacy not only gave Yao Feng a headache, but even Cheng Xiao felt it wasn't a good thing.

At Cheng Xiao's request, Jing Liu would soften his expression slightly in crowded places.

Actually, Jing Liu just has a cool and aloof demeanor. If you really need to talk to her, she can have a normal conversation with you.

However, Jingliu never takes the initiative to establish connections.

Even her jade tablet only had two contacts: Yaofeng and Chengxiao.

Jingliu and Yaofeng, this master and disciple pair, are completely different personalities.

One is aloof and elegant, the other is cheerful and generous.

Therefore, Yao Feng can lead the army; her inspiring words and grand ambitions are as powerful as her actual strength.

However, during these five years, Cheng Xiao also discovered Yao Feng's shortcomings.

His master was a mischievous master.

They are mischievous and playful.

His initial aloofness was just an act. The master who was cold-blooded and ruthless to the enemy on the battlefield was actually a helpless nobody in private.

The room was a mess, with clothes strewn about and furniture scattered everywhere.

Even the sanitation probably hasn't been done in a long time.

Cheng Xiao even fell down the first time he entered his master's room.

It turned out that the smooth black stockings lying on the ground caused him to slip and fall.

Fortunately, almost no one would dare to offend Yao Feng by entering her boudoir.

Otherwise, the image of Luofu's contemporary sword master would be completely shattered.

In contrast, mirror flow is much simpler.

There were no fancy clothes or jewelry, just everyday home clothes.

There are enough clothes to wear, and even the military uniforms used for training only have two sets to change into.

Under Chengxiao's guidance, Jingliu would tidy up his bed and belongings every day.

However, there aren't many items, so it's very simple.

The only thing that displeased Yao Feng was that Jing Liu and Cheng Xiao, who were already so old, were still sleeping in the same room.

There was nothing Cheng Xiao could do about it. Although they slept in separate beds, Jing Liu insisted on living with Cheng Xiao.

Faced with her master's messy and dirty living habits, Cheng Xiao could only become her cleaner and nanny, regularly tidying up her room.

This can only be described as a habit that was cultivated together with Jackie Chan.

My dad's antique shop is usually prone to accumulating dust, as are the various books piled up there.

So taking care of these things became a daily routine for Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan.

However, this also led to Yao Feng becoming even more unrestrained, even acting coquettishly towards Cheng Xiao despite being a 500-year-old woman.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore! I can't live without my beloved student taking care of me!"

"Get dressed before you speak, you old woman!"

Of course, Cheng Xiao received a reward of seven days of personal instruction from Yao Feng for this phrase, "old woman."

Several times, Cheng Xiao felt like he had almost died.

That wretched woman! She held nothing back! What kind of teacher are you?!

Even Jingliu couldn't stand it anymore.

What a shameless, lowly cook!

This is Jingliu's current assessment of Yaofeng.

My previous respect for Yao Feng's strength has completely vanished.

Aside from acknowledging Yaofeng's strength and philosophy, Jingliu disliked everything else.

Yao Feng's troubles are actually quite simple.

My two disciples are too mature. Besides teaching them to increase their strength, I also have to be taken care of by them!

Yao Feng, you should know your shame!

However, after experiencing Cheng Xiao's virtuousness, Yao Feng's evaluation was: "So smooth!"

"Waaaaah... Cheng Xiao, you'll definitely be a good man in the future!"

"Stop acting crazy! If you're lonely, go find a man and get married!"

"That won't do. Luo Fu can't be without my combat power, unless Jing Liu can inherit my position someday."

"Cheng Xiao! My good disciple! You can't fall in love so early! You should at least take care of your master for another five hundred years before getting married!"

"Get lost!"

From afar, Jingliu only heard words like "getting married," "puppy love," and "marrying a wife," and was startled.

"Could it be that Cheng Xiao is in a relationship?! And even planning to marry someone else?!"

Jingliu slowed down his sword swings, lost in his reverie.

[Hahaha! Kagami-ryu! This is my lover, please take good care of her from now on!]

At the wedding:

[Kyoryu, I'm getting married. When are you going to find a boyfriend? How about I let you name the baby after it's born?]

A little girl threw herself into Jingliu's arms:

[Aunt Jingliu! Mom and Dad went on their honeymoon and asked me to stay with you for a few days.]

"No way!!!"

Jingliu flung his sword aside and charged directly at Chengxiao:

"No dating! Dating is strictly prohibited!!!"

After another chaotic scene, the misunderstanding was finally cleared up.

......

For the past five years, Jingliu and Chengxiao have lived on the warship and have never even been to Luofu.

The only situation in which a warship can leave its ships is during wartime.

Five years may seem short, but a great deal of large and small wars of aggression were fought.

With Cheng Xiao, the powerful "horse" talisman father, and Jing Liu, whose swordsmanship talent is superb, every battle is much easier than before.

Since the battle with Ryuhaku, Kagami-ryu has never lost.

Every day is a form of exercise.

The soft armor on their bodies actually has the function of adjusting gravity.

Jingliu experiences ten times the gravity every moment.

During training, the physical abilities of the Immortal Boat people can be increased by fifty times or even more! Under Jing Liu's guidance, the physical fitness of the Immortal Boat people continues to break through.

If her body's regenerative abilities are completely exhausted, Jingliu will ask Chengxiao to help her recover.

Cheng Xiao didn't want Jing Liu to exploit him so harshly, and even his master Yao Feng felt it was too eager for quick success.

However, Jingliu only said one sentence to Chengxiao:

"Losing to that bastard means I've already died once. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been dead long ago."

"But I can't guarantee you won't be by my side in any future war. If I lose then, I'll never see you again..."

"Therefore, in every life-or-death battle from now on, I don't want to lose again!"

Cheng Xiao shut his mouth to stop him. This ascetic path of suffering was Jing Liu's choice after regaining his sword heart.

Cheng Xiao didn't stop her; he simply went to the chef and learned many ways to make ice cream.

Then he would cook different dishes for Jingliu so that she could feel a touch of sweetness on this path.
