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

"Let me explain."

Huanxi spoke up from the side, her tone suppressing a laugh:

"This isn't the first time Yao Feng Sword Master has been caught speeding; he's been caught ten times in total, which is why his money was confiscated."

Luofu's Tianbo Division has no jurisdiction over Yaofeng, but Yaoqing's Tianbo Division will not be so lenient.

The people delivering money and sales targets have arrived.

"My disciple..."

Cheng Xiao sighed softly, "Alright, alright, I'll bail you out after I've taken care of things at home."

"That's wonderful! As expected, my disciple wouldn't stand idly by and watch someone die!"

Huanxi then said, "Mr. Chengxiao, could you take Bai Heng back to Yaoqing? Her family misses her very much, and she's very famous right now. We, her colleagues, would like to celebrate with her."

"No problem, I'll talk to her about it."

After the call ended, Cheng Xiao helplessly put away the jade tablet and said to the pilot:

"Thank you for your hard work. Here's the delivery fee; please keep it."

"You're too kind, Mr. Cheng Xiao."

After the handover was completed, Cheng Xiao returned home, rubbing his temples, and recounted Yao Feng's predicament.

Meanwhile, inside the Yaoqingtian Shipyard.

Yao Feng sat casually in the seat of honor, his eyes brimming with undisguised smugness.

"How about that? I just casually mentioned it, and my apprentice immediately came to help me."

Huanxi's tense mood relaxed, and she said lightly, "The Sword Master Yaofeng is indeed very skilled. He managed to lure Mr. Chengxiao here with just a few words."

"If you fox people want to find him, just say so. Why do you have to make me the middleman?"

Yao Feng made a sarcastic remark, then said to the leading fox:

"Transaction complete, your ten tickets are void."

"Can."

The leading purple fox is the captain of the Sky Ship Company and the second-in-command of the Yaoqing Fox people.

The top leader is the current General, Tsukiyuki.

Surprisingly, the purple fox had six large tails, while the red fox-person beside it had four tails.

The fox-people bloodline and the Bu Li bloodline share the same origin, both originating from Qingqiu. Only the fox-people of Yaoqing gain stronger power due to the moon of fetal movement.

After Yao Feng left, Purple Fox sat in the main seat and continued working, but her mind was in turmoil and she did not seem at peace.

......

"Master is truly... if only I had known this would happen, I should have struck her with one more sword back then!"

Jingliu coldly commented that he was always looking for trouble and would only cause problems when he went out.

"Our grandmaster is in trouble, so we, his juniors, have no choice but to help him."

Jing Yuan helplessly shrugged; his grandmaster was such a grown man, yet he was still so playful.

"Oh, Mom and Dad are back. I'll go back and see them then."

Bai Heng pondered for a moment; this was a good opportunity for her to spend time alone with Cheng Xiao!

Only Yingxing and Danfeng surprisingly did not express any objection.

"The round trip from Luofu to Yaoqing, including the time spent handling matters, will take about a month. I will return as soon as possible."

This was a real long trip, a month-long separation. I haven't experienced such a long separation in a long time.

Danfeng's eyes widened; a month was far too long.

"I'll apply for a jump; it's best to get these other things done quickly."

"That's too wasteful and unnecessary. Besides, Bai Heng has a lot of activities going on, so normal navigation is fine."

Cheng Xiao's arrangement was very reasonable, and Dan Feng had no choice but to tamper with the broken jade that was given to him.

Listeners and locators need to be added!

The other women also took action, at least to be able to know what Cheng Xiao was doing at any time while at home.

Before leaving, even Xuan Tong came to see them off.

"Just think of it as a business trip, there's no need to go to such lengths."

It took Cheng Xiao a long time to calm the women down.

Only Bai Heng boarded the star raft with great joy, ready to set off! To bring his live-in son-in-law home!

The two acted like a couple on their honeymoon, with Bai Heng driving the Star Chariot and Xiao sitting in the passenger seat chatting with him.

Bai Heng was extremely excited, chattering incessantly, and also recounting many stories about the scenery of Yaoqing and the anecdotes of the fox people.

"We fox-people possess animalistic characteristics, making our five senses far more acute than those of ordinary people—natural-born aviators!"

"Every fox who pursues the hunt wants to be a pilot, but some are physically weak and can only use their eloquence and intellect to become merchants, or retire from the front lines to go into business."

"The fox people were slaves and expendable resources under Bu Li and his gang of thieves. I didn't experience the period when all fox people were enslaved, but I did see fox people being captured and tortured. That miserable state made me realize that the fox people and Bu Li should be considered mortal enemies!"

When the topic turned to the captured fox-people, even the usually cheerful Bai Heng's expression turned cold.

Cheng Xiao comforted him:

"Aggression that brings abundance will not succeed; peace will come sooner or later."

"Oh dear, I don't even know if this fox will get to see it!"

Bai Heng recounted the legend of the fox spirits once more.

[Sky-piercing stars, please pause for me; boundless starry sky, please lower your gaze to me.]

[The campaign to conquer and hunt is arduous and long; we must break free from shackles and rebuild our homeland.]

[It has nothing to do with faith, only with survival; the journey begins at your feet, and is not limited to a single deity.]

The Immortal Boat Alliance is on the path of the Hunt. In a narrow sense, the Hunt refers to the worship of the Star God, while in a broader sense it is the pursuit of liberation, the upholding of justice, the resistance against abundance, the rebuilding of their homeland, and the fight for dignity.

This is why the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, despite having different beliefs such as [Immortality], [Abundance], and [Wisdom], can still coexist with [Hunting].

Although [Lan] is the main deity of the Immortal Ship, it is not an absolute religious belief. The "hunting" that the Immortal Ship refers to is a path, not a belief.

As long as one walks the path of "hunting," exercising justice, adhering to pragmatism, and resisting oppression, then it doesn't matter what god one specifically believes in.

The story time always flies by, and Cheng Xiao looked up and saw the huge Yaoqing Immortal Ship.

The legendary fox den—if Yunhua were to come here, she'd probably faint from happiness.

Entering the Jade Gate and docking at the port, the process was smooth and without any obstacles.

"My benefactor, you should go to the Tianbo Bureau to find Yaofeng Sword Master first. If you encounter any trouble, please contact me~"

"What? Aren't you coming with me?"

Bai Heng awkwardly tugged at the hem of his clothes: "My family is urging me to go back, I'm not ready yet..."

"What preparations?"

"I'll take you home to meet my parents..."

"It's okay, we'll talk about it once you've adjusted."

"Okay~"

Bai Heng pointed in the direction of the Tianbo Bureau, and was about to leave when he stopped:

"Forgot about the fox! My benefactor, be careful of other female foxes in Yaoqing! They definitely have ill intentions if they approach you, absolutely!"

Cheng Xiao was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, alright, I understand. I won't pay any attention to the other foxes."

Bai Heng was still not at ease, so he pounced on Cheng Xiao's chest and rubbed against him, even licking Cheng Xiao's Adam's apple with his tongue.

"This should last for about two days, so I'm relieved."

"What is it?"

"Hehe, it's a secret~"

Without delving deeper, Cheng Xiao watched Bai Heng skip away and waved goodbye in a perfunctory gesture.
