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

The next day at noon, Xuan Tong was invited to her home.

"I'm sorry I didn't ask about your dietary restrictions and preferences beforehand, so I just tried to make some food that you might like."

Cheng Xiao felt a little awkward. He had promised to treat his guests to a meal, and it wouldn't be good if the food didn't suit their tastes.

"It's alright, I'll eat whatever you make."

"Oh? You want shrimp too?"

A discordant sound came from inside the room, and Danfeng stood in the doorway with his arms crossed, looking playful.

Danfeng loves shrimp, while Xuantong dislikes it. Despite their many conflicts, they are friends, which is quite unexpected.

Such a tone is disrespectful to guests. Cheng Xiao gave a meaningful look and then gently tapped Danfeng's dragon head with two fingers.

"Don't target Xuan Tong, she's a guest I invited."

"Ugh... Cheng Xiao, you actually bullied me for the sake of outsiders."

The aloof Dragon Lord was tearful; Danfeng was a dragon made of water, and beneath his seemingly cold exterior lay a fragile and sensitive heart.

This scene softened Cheng Xiao's heart, and he changed from knocking to stroking.

"Alright, for my sake, Feng, don't make things difficult for Xuan Tong. You are both Dragon Lords, of equal honor, and I can't afford to offend either of you."

"That's more like it. I won't be willful anymore."

Danfeng enjoyed Chengxiao's caresses and let go of her hostility.

Only Xuan Tong silently ate her lemon; she was sour.

I'm so envious... I also want this man to comfort me forever...

The Dragon Lord is proud and aloof, which brings with it a cold loneliness.

But every Dragon Lord has a passionate heart, yearning to resonate with those who recognize their worth.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Danfeng's cold and lonely heart will thaw because of Yunwu's friendship. Now that she also has Chengxiao as a companion, her life can be described as extremely happy!

Xuan Tong knew she was being shameless; despite her noble status, she wanted to steal her friend's man.

But... isn't that the important thing?

This man is captivating, both in terms of his powerful presence and his tolerant nature. How could she possibly resist fighting back?

She, Luo Fulong, loves me, Zhu Minglong, but I, Zhu Minglong, cannot?

The lingering thoughts, both overt and covert, did not affect Cheng Xiao's hospitality.

"Ta-da! This is some charcoal barbecue and hot pot that I specially prepared. I don't know if you'll like it, but please give it a try!"

Charcoal grill? Barbecue? Hot pot? Indeed... indeed you are my other half! Every step you take touches my heart!

With a clever idea, Cheng Xiao precisely hit the mark on Xuan Tong's preferences, and her gaze towards Cheng Xiao was practically dripping with affection.

Yun Wu watched from the sidelines, and each person reacted in a different way.

Their only shared thought was: "They actually prepared these especially for Yan Tingjun; none of them have ever eaten them before!"

Jingliu and Yingxing were already lost in their own thoughts, their lips slightly upturned and their expressions dreamy, as if they were already fantasizing about how to punish the biased Chengxiao.

"Everyone, come and eat! It's best to eat it while it's hot."

There's no need for guests to use chopsticks for hot pot; he's already set out the pot and prepared the seasonings, so the guests can cook the raw food themselves.

He was holding a skewer of meat, turning it over and over on the grill to smoke it, occasionally picking up a brush to dip it in sauce.

Xuan Tong stood guard nearby, and as soon as Xiao finished grilling a bunch, she started tearing into it with big bites.

She didn't feel the heat at all; the temperature was just right to soothe her throat.

"tasty!"

After hearing just those two words, Xuan Tong stopped talking and just kept eating.

Everyone gathered around to enjoy the hot pot; the broth was delicious and the food was so flavorful that everyone's mouths were full of oil.

After Cheng Xiao finished grilling a bunch of meat skewers, Xuan Tong immediately ate them all, and Bai Heng finally couldn't help but protest:

"Hey! You fire dragon are too domineering! If you eat it all, what are we supposed to eat?"

Xuan Tong frowned slightly at such a rude address, but she understood when she saw Bai Heng, who never cared about hierarchy.

"It was so delicious, I just ate too much."

Although she was unwilling, Xuan Tong was still very sensible.

These five people have a very close relationship with Cheng Xiao, like the reverse scale of a dragon. She has come to join this family, so she must get along well with them.

"Wow! It's so spicy!"

Bai Heng took a bite of the meat skewer out of curiosity. Although it was delicious, the extremely spicy flavor was too much for the fox's tongue.

With no other option, she could only stick out her tongue and apply ice to her skin, tears welling in her eyes.

Even Danfeng couldn't stand it; his face turned crimson from the spiciness, and he quickly circulated his internal energy to soothe himself and avoid losing his composure.

Jingliu and the others wisely put down their skewers, saying they couldn't afford them.

Upon hearing the commotion, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

"You guys, I made the extra spicy version especially for Xuan Tong, you definitely can't handle it. Yours are right here."

The slightly spicy grilled skewers from Chengxiao Duan are incredibly tempting, with just a touch of spiciness enhancing their aroma.

The skewers are kept warm because of the heat-preserving device, which is when they taste their best.

Danfeng said to Chengxiao:

"It's so spicy! My tongue must be burned. Chengxiao, can you take a look?"

"Okay, stick your tongue out so I can check it."

Cheng Xiao approached Dan Feng, focusing on whether Dan Feng was injured.

Caught off guard, Danfeng suddenly grabbed Chengxiao by the back of the head and kissed him tightly.

Their lips were pressed together, their mouths...waving, clearly Danfeng's tongue was not behaving itself, frantically sucking...saliva.

The others were stunned and didn't even try to stop them.

After a long while, their lips parted. Danfeng licked his thin lips, still wanting more.

"Thank you, I don't feel the spiciness anymore. Chengxiao's treatment is very helpful!"

The atmosphere became tense, then suddenly erupted.

Bai Heng: "My tongue is burning too! Please, benefactor, help me!"

Jingliu: "Actually, I also feel a little uncomfortable."

Jingyuan: "Uncle-Master, I didn't eat anything spicy, but my chest feels a bit tight. Could you massage it for me?"

Yingxing: "I miss Cao Pi."

The scene was in complete chaos, with only Xuan Tong looking helpless.

"Tsk, they really will stop at nothing. Looks like I don't need to maintain any of my Dragon Lord airs anymore. I'll just focus on getting my share of the meat!"

......

"So, Master was detained in Yaoqing?"

Cheng Xiao stared at the letter in his hand with a stern face. It was Yao Feng's plea for help.

"That's right, the title of Yaofeng Sword Master is still quite prestigious, but if you can't pay the fine, you'll be detained," Yao Qinglai's pilot said awkwardly.

"How could that be? She took so many patrols with her when she went out. Even if she ran out of cash, she should still have money in her card."

"Um... I'm not sure how to explain it either. Please answer this video call."

Cheng Xiao picked up the jade tablet and opened it; the video suddenly lit up.

Yao Feng was sitting upright in the detention room, facing three foxes, one of whom was Huanxi, Bai Heng's eldest sister.

"My good disciple! Come quickly and save your master! Waaah, Yaoqing's foxes are bullying me! They've captured me!"

"Master, where's your money?"

"I used up all my energy and visited all the tourist attractions, but I got caught speeding. Yao Qing's pilot is still quite capable. I thought that no one could control me after leaving Luofu. I was wrong."

Cheng Xiao's face was devoid of mercy: "How exactly did you spend all the money? Don't expect me to save you until you explain it clearly."

"No! You actually don't believe your master! My disciple, how cruel you are!"

"I don't acknowledge you as my worthless master!"
