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

"No! Let me go! You can't do this!"

Cheng Xiao was dragged into the house. His struggles were futile. [Ox] Why are you just watching?!

Yingxing smiled knowingly as he watched the group playfully bickering. They had such a good relationship; this was true happiness.

"Yingxing, why are you just watching? Help me! They're going to eat people!"

"Xiaozhen is joking; this is just everyone's enthusiasm."

Finally, Cheng Xiao emerged from the private room in tattered clothes, covered in hickeys, but thankfully she had preserved her virginity.

Because Yingxing won the title of "Hundred Metals", General Huaiyan specially held a celebration banquet. From this moment on, Yingxing became the head of Zhu Ming craftsmen and also gained the right to use all materials.

After exchanging toasts, Yingxing and Jingliu and the others expressed their gratitude.

"I am truly touched that you all came to Zhu Ming to support me. I have no special skills, except for this forging method."

"Compared to me, you are heroes who have killed countless enemies, warriors who have exorcised evil spirits, whose achievements are unparalleled and whose reputations are renowned."

"I wish to invoke the grace of the Emperor's Bow in the name of the Hundred Metals Craft to forge weapons for you as my gift."

The other four didn't stand on ceremony; instead, they were full of anticipation for Xing's gift.

Yingxing loved wine, or rather, none of the craftsmen in the workshop were not fond of wine.

Although he obtained the [Hundred Metals], Yingxing felt a sense of loneliness in addition to his initial joy.

The five men drank and chatted happily, while Cheng Xiao was pulled by Huai Yan to talk to Yan Tingjun.

"Young Cheng Xiao, I will soon send Ying Xing to Luofu. You must take good care of her then. If she suffers any injustice in Luofu, I will personally pay her a visit."

"Of course, of course. May I ask how long Yingxing will be staying?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, she may need to stay with you permanently. As for Zhu Ming's hometown, she can come back once a year during holidays."

"Huh?! Why is that?"

Huaiyan sighed: "Although Yingxing has become Baiye, as a short-lived species, he is not able to take charge of the Engineering Department, so the previous senior will still serve as the chief."

"Now all the craftsmen are inspired, but Yingxing is unable to make any further progress. Rather than wasting his days here, I would like to take you to see the outside world."

"And remember, her feelings for you are complicated; you must be careful of the divide between the long-lived and short-lived!"

Finally, Huaiyan warned, "Yingxing's safety is entrusted to you. My excellent and kind disciple has arrived in Luofu. You must take good care of him. A hundred years of life is fleeting. I don't want to hear any bad news."

Cheng Xiao chuckled, "Don't worry, I guarantee Ying Xing and the others will become famous throughout the Immortal Ship, becoming heroes revered by everyone!"

......

On the other side, Yingxing began to tell her story, whether it was the destruction of her home planet by the Buli people or her ordinary life on the Immortal Ship.

"I've diligently studied craftsmanship not to compete with others, but simply to prove my abilities and help the Immortal Ship hunt down more monstrous creatures!"

"So, let me be your strongest support!"

Yingxing demonstrated his will, and only with such talent and awareness could Yingxing successfully gain the recognition of Jingliu and others.

From this day forward, the five-person gang is fully established. We have agreed to fight side by side on the battlefield, solely to eliminate the evil and win peace.

That evening, Cheng Xiao briefly recounted what General Huaiyan had said, and everyone felt indignant about Yingxing's awkward situation.

Bai Heng said angrily, "Why is that? Shouldn't the leader be the one with the most ability? Why bother with things like longevity or short life?"

Jingliu wholeheartedly agreed, gently wiping his sword: "Among the Cloud Cavalry, if anyone dares to disobey, let them come and take my sword. Repeat this process, and no one will dare disobey!"

"It's a pity this is Zhu Ming. If it were Luofu, I would definitely change these rules!"

Danfeng snorted coldly. Wasn't this rule just stifling the geniuses of short-lived species? Time flies, but in the end, it's all for naught.

"There are indeed considerations on the part of the Immortal Ship itself. The reputation of the Hundred Forges has lasted for a hundred years, but most short-lived species cannot live to see that day. How about changing the competition to once every fifty years?"

Jing Yuan was quite rational and even offered a solution.

Of course, no matter how dissatisfied he was, the rules were not easily changed. Yingxing was somewhat disappointed, but also felt happy and expectant.

"It's alright. I've already accepted this result. At least I've proven my talent, and now I can roam freely with you all and enjoy life to the fullest without wasting time in the Construction Bureau."

Bai Heng said helplessly, "You're incredibly arrogant when it comes to smelting, but you're overly humble when it comes to fame and fortune. It's just that you have too good a temper, which allows people to take advantage of you."

After saying this, Bai Heng glanced at Cheng Xiao intentionally or unintentionally. He was also a good-tempered person. Fortunately, Jing Liu and Dan Feng were extremely good at protecting the home, so no ordinary women could get close to Cheng Xiao at will.

But precisely because of this, many women, finding Cheng Xiao easy to get along with, lost their sense of propriety. Bai Heng was well aware of these women's shopping sprees.

Because she herself also benefits from this, she has to be wary of others; one fox spirit is enough.

After the grand refining ceremony officially concluded, and having made a promise to meet again in Luofu with Yingxing, the group set off to return home.
