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

Cheng Xiao comforted Jing Liu for a while before Jing Liu temporarily let him go.

"Ta-da! Look what I bought for you!"

Cheng Xiao took out a sky-blue hairband, which matched Jing Liu's outfit perfectly.

Jingliu didn't express his opinion, but instead asked directly:

"So, you left me for so long just to buy this?"

"Um... I didn't lose you. I just saw some things at the gift shop and thought I'd bring you a gift."

Jingliu didn't speak, he just turned his head away.

Cheng Xiao thought Jing Liu was angry, but Jing Liu spoke up instead:

"Help me tie my hair up with this hair tie."

Cheng Xiao did as instructed, which meant that Jing Liu had no life force.

After removing the black headband from Jingliu's head, her snow-white long hair spread out, as conspicuous as a layer of white ink spread on an asphalt road.

Cheng Xiao gently combed through her cool hair with her fingers, then slowly tied it into a bunch with a hair tie.

This scenario has happened countless times in the past five years.

Cheng Xiaotijing tied a half-up high ponytail.

Take a section of hair from the top of your head, tie it into a high ponytail, and then tie a bow to make your hair look fluffy.

"It's done!"

Jingliu's face was flushed; doing this in the street still made her feel extremely ashamed.

I was just a bit impulsive at the time, and now I'm so embarrassed to think about it!

Then Jingliu touched the back of his head:

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time."

Seeing Jingliu's mood brighten, Chengxiao also felt better.

This time, however, Jingliu took Chengxiao's hand; she would not let him leave again.

Changletian not only offers a wide variety of goods, but also many eye-catching entertainment activities.

When Cheng Xiao passed by the bookstore, he stopped for a while and borrowed a few books.

He needs to learn more about the world.

Jingliu sat obediently to the side and read along, even though she didn't like reading.

Or, to put it another way, if she were alone, she would only choose to practice swordsmanship.

Because swords can be used for both defense and killing, but books cannot.

Or perhaps it's because Mirror Stream isn't a genius in terms of knowledge and therefore incapable of creating powerful weapons.

Her sword is the most powerful weapon!

However, Jingliu knew that Chengxiao liked reading, which, according to him, was a habit his father had instilled in him.

Books are the ladder of human progress, and my father's library is a treasure trove.

Jingliu didn't care who his father was; he was probably Chengxiao's elder.

However, Cangcheng has already been destroyed, and that old man must have passed away like his family.

Now Cheng Xiao and she are like family to each other, so she reads books with Cheng Xiao.

This was not only to prepare for the sword master's written test, but also to make Jingliu's speech and behavior more refined by reading ancient books and poems.

If she hadn't read the book, Jingliu might really have just been a violent woman wielding a sword.

She didn't want to end up like her master.

She not only had to learn swordsmanship, but also consulted with the female cloud riders on needlework and learned poetry.

Only by learning these things can she fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.

Even though she's only fifteen years old.

"Aren't you bored? How about we go check out other places?"

Cheng Xiao suggested.

Jingliu shook his head:

"It's alright, it's quite nice to browse through the books here with you."

After all, Chengxiao won't run around while reading.

"Haha! Thank you for accommodating me, it's nothing! I've almost finished reading this book, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

Cheng Xiao left the desk, returned the borrowed books, and waved to Jing Liu.

"Look over there! It looks like they're having some kind of competition! Let's go check it out!"

Cheng Xiao pulled Jing Liu and squeezed into the crowd.

For Jingliu, she usually wouldn't come to a place like this.

Upon inquiry, Cheng Xiao learned that a store opening event was being held there.

"Dear guests! Don't miss out! Our shop is holding a hammer-striking contest! Whoever can strike an iron block into the gong will receive a great prize!"

However, the event also offers gifts at other tiers.

Many people stepped forward to participate, most of them rough and unskilled men.

However, the highest achievement was only first prize, which went to a Yunqi soldier who almost won the grand prize.

Cheng Xiao immediately saw through the trickery by looking at the [Snake] talisman.

There is an obstacle between the gong and the iron block, which cannot be reached no matter how hard you strike it.

Although I find the store's underhanded tactics somewhat distasteful, in addition to the grand prize, the owner has indeed gone all out to provide other rewards.

Many people received prizes and flocked to the store.

The shop itself sells jewelry, and the owner certainly seems to be very wealthy.

Seeing that the audience's enthusiasm had waned, the waiter directly unveiled the grand prize.

"Dear viewers! What motivates you?! Come and see the exciting prize draw!"

The so-called grand prize is a necklace and a bracelet.

The necklace is a string of pearls, with a jade-like color, and is extremely luxurious.

The bracelet is made of elegant, deep green jade, clearly the finest jade.

"This necklace is called 'Ice Silk White Jade'! It's made from snow silkworm silk threads and scale jade material, making it a rare and precious treasure!"

"This bracelet is called 'Qian.' It appears to be made of jade, but it is actually crafted from jade tailored to the wearer. It is said to slow down the aging process and can even change color according to the wearer's characteristics!"

Although slowing down aging is the most useless thing for the people of the Immortal Ship, there has never been a shortage of short-lived species from outside the civilization on the Immortal Ship.

Therefore, jewelry with such special effects naturally became very popular.

Cheng Xiao frowned slightly. Items with similar characteristics are strictly controlled in the Immortal Ship. How could a jewelry store have such connections?

It seems that either it was luck, or there was an even bigger backer behind him.

Cheng Xiao said to Jing Liu:

"Look at the bottom of that golden gong, there's something blocking it."

Jingliu nodded:

"I sensed something was wrong long ago. The Cloud Riders' power was already sufficient, but it stalled at the end. There was an unusual sound during that. It seems to be what you were talking about."

"How is it? Do you like this jewelry? Do you want me to help you get it?"

Jingliu chuckled softly:

"External possessions are mostly burdens."

"However, these two treasures are indeed quite good. There's no need to trouble you; I'll handle them myself."

"Then I'll wait and see."

When everyone saw Jing Liu step forward, a murmur of discussion arose:

"Wow! Is this a girl? What's she doing here?"

"What a mess! What's wrong with other girls trying it out? You're a grown man, but you don't even have the guts to go for it! Afraid of losing face?"

"Don't take someone's side just because that girl is pretty, okay?"

"That's called having values ​​that follow your physical appearance!"

The sales staff were somewhat embarrassed:

"Um... miss, this activity is quite challenging. Perhaps you should back down now, so you don't get hurt!"

Jingliu shook his head:

"It's alright, just try it and you'll see."

The staff member glanced at the boss beside him, who nodded slightly.

So Jingliu got the hammer.

However, Jingliu didn't slam down directly; instead, he pushed off with both legs and leaped into the air!

Then, with speed as fast as a flash of light, he swung the hammer out!

"Illuminating all rivers!!!"

Jingliu actually used his sword techniques on the iron hammer, and the force of the blow sent the iron block and the golden gong flying together!

The onlookers were all amazed, and even the staff and the boss were dumbfounded.
