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

"How long will you be gone?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too long."

"If you don't return in three days, I will go to Zhu Ming to look for you."

Jing Liu wore a cold expression. He had finally confirmed his relationship with the person he loved, and he had a family and a career. This should have been an incredibly happy moment.

But just one day later, my partner has to go on a business trip. Who can stand that?

"General Teng Xiao is really meddling in other people's business. Can't Luo Fu find anyone? I think he's doing this on purpose!"

Yao Feng, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "How about we, master and disciple, take our swords and go find him to demand an explanation?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Cheng Xiao quickly smoothed things over: "Don't get excited. The star core isn't important. What's important is the genius Screw Gum. The opportunity to get to know him is rare."

Jing Yuan nodded: "A member of the Genius Club would indeed be of immense value to Xianzhou if it could gain their favor."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Jingliu grabbed Jingyuan's ear.

"Why not just let someone else do that? Why send your uncle?"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Master is right! Master is right!"

Jingyuan is now even taller than Jingliu, but he can only be scolded by Jingliu.

After reprimanding Jingyuan, Jingliu revealed a somewhat aggrieved and hurt expression:

"Ah Xiao...you must come back soon. Remember, the women outside are not innocent. They are all after your motives. Don't be fooled."

Cheng Xiao was somewhat amused and exasperated. Ever since the Bai Heng incident, Jing Liu had been rigorously investigating his interpersonal relationships, and he hadn't expected them to be this meticulous.

"Don't worry, I'm going there for an academic discussion. At most, I'll meet one Screwgum, but I'm not interested in anyone else."

After informing his family, Cheng Xiao headed towards Lin Yuan Realm. The moment he stepped into the cave, Ni Qing appeared beside him.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, what brings you here today?"

"Ah, I have something to discuss with Danfeng. Please take me to her."

"OK."

Then Cheng Xiao arrived at the quiet room where Dan Feng usually cultivated, where Dan Feng, who had just finished his cultivation, was already waiting.

"What brings you here today? Why have you come to see me on your own initiative?"

Cheng Xiao briefly outlined the arrangements for their subsequent movements, and Dan Feng smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good! You knew to inform me first. If you had gone to Zhu Ming without saying a word, I would have made you regret it!"

"Of course, I was wrong last time, so I definitely won't repeat the same mistake. Okay, I'll be going now. I'll bring you some local specialties from Zhu Ming later!"

However, just as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, the heavy door to the quiet room was closed, and a clear locking sound was heard.

"Um... what's this?"

"Cheng Xiao, I've been thinking about this for a long time these past few days, and I've finally figured it out. But I never expected you to come to me like this. Heh, you really like provoking me, don't you~"

"Danfeng! What are you doing?!"

"This is a quiet room; no matter how loud the noise, no one outside will notice. What do you think I'm going to do?"

"No! I can't! Jingliu and I haven't gone all the way yet. I won't lose my virginity!"

A hint of regret flashed in Danfeng's eyes, but he quickly regained his playful expression.

She deftly tossed her long, ink-black hair and slowly began to speak:

"If this trip is only for three days, that's fine. But if it takes ten days or half a month, I can't stand it. So just in case, you have to leave something behind so I can relieve my loneliness."

"You'll spend the rest of today quietly with me in this quiet room."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

......

The next morning, at the exit of the Lin Yuan Realm cave.

"Chengxiao~ Come back soon~ Don't keep me waiting."

Danfeng revealed a bright smile she had never shown before, waving goodbye to Chengxiao. The dragon seemed much more energetic than usual.

Cheng Xiao responded weakly, recalling last night's experience as a nightmare, a mixture of pain and pleasure.

I won't go into details, but I'll just give one example.

Cheng Xiao was forced to send a jade oath with Jing Liu and the others, explaining that they would stay at the Shence Mansion tonight so that they could leave directly with General Huai Yan the next day.

Then Danfeng started a skit with him.

To compensate for his previous loneliness, Cheng Xiao promised to fulfill Dan Feng's reasonable requests.

So Danfeng threw himself into Chengxiao's arms and took a deep breath with Chiming's unique super lung capacity, taking a breath that was so large that he almost swallowed all of Chengxiao's breath.

"Cheng Xiao, from now on you are a stay-at-home husband without a job. Your Jing Liu wife is successful in her career and works hard outside. She often works overtime because of her work in the Yunqi Army."

"I am Kagami's direct superior. I was invited to your home by Kagami today, but Kagami has to go back to work overtime due to official business."

"Well, my dear husband, you wouldn't want your wife to miss out on a promotion, would you? You wouldn't want to see Jingliu being ostracized in the military, would you?"

Cheng Xiao said helplessly, "Danfeng, if Jingliu finds out you're using her as a side dish, you'll be chopped into minced meat."

"I don't care! If I can't have meat, can't I at least smell it?"

After reminiscing, Cheng Xiao rubbed his temples. He hadn't slept well at all last night, while Dan Feng seemed quite energetic.

However, the sheep, horse, and dog instantly recovered their carefree spirit and physical fatigue, showing no signs of having stayed up all night.

After arriving at Star Harbor and meeting with General Huaiyan, they boarded the Star Raft and officially set off.

Teng Xiao patted Cheng Xiao on the shoulder: "Kid! Do your best in Zhu Ming, don't embarrass Luo Fu! Also, keep an eye on the Star Core and stuff."

"I've already said, the star core isn't important..."

Huaiyan stroked his large beard and chuckled:

"I think Cheng Xiao's attitude is very good. The star core has indeed caused a lot of trouble, but it is not a big threat to us. As long as we don't let anyone with ulterior motives interfere with the plague, the star core can be used as an energy source like the Suihuang."

(Suihuang: The leader of Suiyang. After the war against Suiyang, the people of the Immortal Ship sealed him away and sentenced him to provide power for the Immortal Ship "Zhuming" for the rest of his life. He is the cause of Zhuming's plague. He is older than Lan, who was on a hunting expedition, and personally witnessed his ascension to godhood.)

Teng Xiao: "Come on, I know what this kid is capable of. He's always putting on airs and then scheming against people. I really don't know where he learned that. He has no dignity whatsoever."

"A real man should fight a fair and square duel!"

Cheng Xiao sighed, feeling utterly ashamed of his own general. No wonder he was suddenly defeated; it seemed he was worn down to death.

The Star Chariot was extremely fast. Cheng Xiao felt like he had arrived in Zhu Ming in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, which must have been achieved by using a jump.

As soon as Yu Huaiyan stepped off the star raft, he saw a familiar figure – it was Luo Sigumu.

Unlike his later greyish-brown suit and cyan robe, this time Screwgoom was wearing a top hat, his mechanical structure was gold, and he was dressed in a black suit.

"Welcome back, friends from Luofu, and General Huaiyan."

With a magnetic and steady voice that conveys gentleness and friendliness, this is the mechanical gentleman, Screw Gum.
