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

After Danfeng finished speaking, Kungang-kun started to space out again, or more accurately, he tilted his head back and let his thoughts wander.

"At least give me an answer!"

Danfeng was somewhat helpless. Why had this guy entered this state again?

"Oh~ So the Immortal Ship is in danger. Hmm... Let's all work together to drive away the evil creature."

"Well, that's true, but why does it feel a bit... childish?"

Danfeng covered her face, finding it troublesome to communicate with Kungang-kun from the very beginning.

"Don't you manage your clan's affairs?"

"Huh? Those trivial matters can be left to the Dragon Masters~"

"Aren't you afraid they'll sideline you?!"

"No way~ Master Long and the others are really nice people. We're all family, let's work together!"

Danfeng doubted Longsheng again, recalling how the Dragon Masters had begged him for help; they all seemed genuinely simple and honest.

[Damn it! This is so enviable! Why don't the Dragon Masters of Luofu have this kind of awareness?!]

Kungang-kun slowly stood up. She was half a head taller than Danfeng, and her large headlights exuded a sense of oppression.

"Hmm, I've been thinking about a lot of things. Is Jade Palace in danger? Let's go find the general and ask him about the situation."

"I am aware of the situation. My main purpose now is to take you out to discuss this together."

"Is that so? Yinyue-kun is really reliable~"

"Don't praise others for no reason!"

Danfeng finally couldn't hold back any longer: "You haven't eaten for the past six months, are you hungry?"

Kungang-kun looked puzzled, tapping his lips with his index finger as he pondered.

Five more minutes passed in this thought, and Danfeng even thought that Kungang-kun had fallen asleep.

"Huh?! Half a year has already passed?!"

"You're only just realizing it now!"

Kungang-kun immediately collapsed to the ground: "Ugh~ I'm so hungry, so thirsty, so uncomfortable. Yinyue-kun, please bring me some food. I want to eat~"

"Your reaction time is so slow, and why is your physical instinct also so slow?!"

Finally, Kungang-kun was successfully brought out of the stone chamber by Danfeng. The Dragon Masters embraced and wept. Their leader had finally returned!

Danfeng also learned that he hadn't noticed the hunger before because he was absorbing the power from the soil to maintain his bodily functions. When he realized that he hadn't eaten for half a year, the power faded and the hunger followed.

The dragon masters went to prepare the meal, while Kungang-kun continued to sit in a daze, and Danfeng could only stay by his side.

"By the way~ what's your name, Yinyue-jun? My name is Kunling."

"Danfeng".

"Mmm, it sounds so good~ I really like it, Danfeng~ Danfeng~ Danfeng~"

"Don't keep calling my name, it's weird, okay?"

"Hehe, Danfeng is indeed very reliable~"

"What does this have to do with whether I'm reliable or not?!"

With a large table of dishes ready, Kunling demonstrated what a big appetite looks like. Danfeng's palate had been spoiled by Chengxiao, so he only took a small bite.

"Is Danfeng having a poor appetite?"

No, I'm not hungry yet.

"That's a shame, I'll eat them all then~"

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Kunling patted his unchanged belly, his expression softening like a cat enjoying itself, abandoning all thought.

"Well, goodbye Danfeng, I'm going to the cultivation room. Don't wait half a year to call me next time, everyone will worry."

Under Danfeng's bewildered gaze, Kunling got up and walked towards the stone chamber.

"Hey! What are you talking about? Jade Palace is facing a crisis right now, why would you go back?"

Kunling suddenly realized, "Ah, right! I almost forgot, sorry~ hehe~"

Danfeng: "..."

However, seemingly having eaten her fill, Kunling also felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning against Danfeng.

"There's really nothing I can do. How could someone like this become a Dragon Lord? What's wrong with the Vidyadharas of Jade Palace? I just can't understand the nature of earth dragons."

......

Inside the Jade Palace Workshop, all the artisans and craftsmen mobilized to cooperate with Yingxing.

The enormous furnace of creation was operating at maximum power, and the scorching temperature caused the surrounding air to spew out heat.

"Open the lid! Pour water to cool it down!"

"The temperature isn't rising enough, keep increasing the heat!"

"Where's the quartz? Bring it all over and throw it into the furnace!"

A huge mold was being formed, and a large amount of molten iron was being smelted inside the furnace. Yingxing's work was extremely crucial.

She was to forge a colossal artifact, a binding garment, intended to restrain the living planet, Ketu.

Upon hearing that Cangcheng, the hometown of Chengxiao and Jingliu, had been destroyed by the [Devouring Rahu], Yingxing began researching this weapon. This time, the [Kidu Mirage] could do nothing!

......

Jingyuan has always been in charge of devising strategies. She has a strong sense of the big picture and is ruthless in her struggles. Fuguang greatly admires her and believes that such an intelligent and talented person should work in the Jade Palace. He even thinks that it would not be an exaggeration to appoint her as a general.

After all, the five elites of the cloud are renowned, and their excellence is self-evident.

However, Jing Yuan refused her invitation, and Fu Guang could only sigh that Teng Xiao was lucky.

[Ha! Why have all these talented people gone to Luofu? What a waste! Teng Xiao has no talent for recognizing people; he's only letting gems tarnish!]

Jingyuan could only chuckle at Fuguang's attempt to poach his uncle. "Unless you can bring your martial uncle to the Jade Palace," he thought, "don't even think about it."

While discussing military strategy, Jingyuan encountered an interesting little girl.

"Jing Yuanxiaowei, I've calculated your marriage destiny!"

"Oh? Interesting. I didn't provide your birth date or time, nor did I show you my palm. How did you calculate all this?"

"Face reading! It's face reading!"

"Then tell me."

Like Jingyuan, the little girl with white hair has bird feather features that blend almost seamlessly with her clothing.

"That won't do. I didn't do this for free; you have to pay to find out what happens next!"

"How many patrol arrows do you need?"

"Hehe, I spent a lot of effort calculating how powerful Jing Yuanxiaowei is. I'll just charge you five thousand patrol troops!"

Good heavens, they've managed to scam Jing Yuan! This is truly an eye-opener for her.

"This price is a bit expensive. You need to give me your conclusion first, otherwise how can I trust you?"

"Alright then, your destined partner is a young man, much younger than you, but very gentle and accommodating. You already have feelings for him. Now pay five thousand coins, and I can tell you how to win him over!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's face immediately turned cold: "You're saying my destined partner is younger than me? And I still harbor feelings for him?"

So, does that mean she and her martial uncle are destined to be apart? What a joke!

"I'm sorry, young lady, but I prefer men older than myself."

Jing Yuan roughly rubbed the little girl's feathers as a small punishment.

"Impossible! My calculations are absolutely accurate! Even my master says I have extraordinary talent!"

Jing Yuan chuckled: "Then it seems you haven't quite mastered it yet."

The little girl grew anxious: "You wicked Jing Yuanxiao, you just wait! I'll definitely find out your marriage destiny!"

Who is your master?

"My master is Jingtian!"

"So you're a disciple of the Grand Diviner Jingtian. I wish you all the best and hope you become an excellent diviner soon."

Jing Yuan left without looking back, leaving behind only a little girl named Yao Guang.

"Hmm, I thought I could earn some extra money, how could I have miscalculated?"

Looking at the information he had divined, Yao Guang knew that Jing Yuan's destined partner was a man in his twenties who was currently on the Jade Palace Immortal Ship and was someone close to Jing Yuan!

Although the information is limited, the less information there is, the more accurate the divination result will be.

"Could it be that my skills are lacking? I must ask my master!"

(Kunling: A blonde, big-breasted, naturally naive, and incredibly slow-witted dragon lord.)

(The [dog] talisman keeps people forever young, meaning that Cheng Xiao's physical age is actually always in his twenties, but his mental age is hundreds of years old.)
