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

After arriving at the Tianbo Bureau, Cheng Xiao encountered Huanxi.

To be honest, he wasn't familiar with Huanxi; they had only met a few times. It was thanks to Bai Heng acting as an intermediary that they were able to meet.

Huanxi felt the same way, but she knew how formidable Cheng Xiao was. Whether it was the previous invasion of Fengrao or the crisis of Fanghu, Bai Heng's rise to where he was today was all thanks to Cheng Xiao.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, welcome. The matters you need to handle have been prepared inside. Please sign them."

"Thank you. Where is my master?"

"Don't worry, the head of the Yaofeng Sword has been settled and is just waiting for you to take care of things."

Huanxi led Chengxiao indoors. Yaoqing's Sky Ship Office was somewhat special. At least other Sky Ship Offices had Sky Ship people as officials, but Yaoqing's were all fox people.

As he passed through the work area, Cheng Xiao clearly felt countless gazes fixed on him, and heard whispers around him.

After being reprimanded by their leader, the foxes who were gossiping quieted down a bit, but their eyes never left the foxes.

What's going on...? Something's wrong.

Cheng Xiao was puzzled, but didn't dwell on it.

Upon entering the reception room, a six-tailed fox dressed in a magnificent red and purple robe sat upright, with steaming tea on the table, presumably freshly brewed.

Upon seeing Cheng Xiao enter, she immediately raised her hand to indicate, "Mr. Cheng Xiao, please have a seat. I am deeply sorry to have troubled you with this journey."

Cheng Xiao sat down naturally, not feeling anything was wrong: "It's nothing, just cleaning up my master's mess. I have to deal with it no matter how far away it is."

The purple fox chuckled, "The Sword Master of Yaofeng does indeed have a fine disciple. Doesn't Mr. Chengxiao find it troublesome?"

"What can I do? She's my master. Fate is such a strange thing. I guess I'll just have to accept it."

Upon hearing this, the person in the next private room felt a chill run down their spine.

Yao Feng gently stroked her chest, her usual carefree demeanor vanishing, revealing for the first time the shyness of a young woman confined to her chambers.

"What is this foolish apprentice saying...?"

The sound of her heartbeat echoed clearly in her ears, and Yao Feng felt as if the air itself had turned pink, her face unconsciously flushing.

Sure enough, after returning to Luofu, he let his apprentice marry her!

Yao Feng regretted it; she should have known better than to trick her good disciple into going to Yao Qing.

"My disciple, don't let those wicked women outside deceive you. Only your master truly cares about you. These vixens have no good intentions towards you."

Inside the reception room, Cheng Xiao and Zi Huli chatted happily, as if they had known each other for many years, catching up on everyday matters.

The purple fox is the captain of the Heavenly Ship Bureau, and her name is Jiangyue.

"Ms. Jiangyue, do you know where my master's ticket is? I'll take care of it so I can get back as soon as possible."

"Please sign here."

Cheng Xiao picked it up, and just as he was about to start writing, he suddenly realized that the document was not a ticket.

"Ms. Jiangyue, have you taken the wrong one?"

"Tsk..."

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, it was my oversight. Actually, this is the real ticket."

Jiang Yue smiled broadly, quickly put away the document, and took out another one.

Did you just click your tongue?

Cheng Xiao was stunned. He had already read the contents of the previous document. It was a contract for lifelong employment with Yao Qing, which was no different from a servitude contract.

Are they no longer trying to hide these underhanded tactics?

Cheng Xiao picked up the document again; this time it was indeed a ticket, and all the regulations and reasons for the penalty seemed reasonable. Just as Cheng Xiao was about to sign it, he noticed something was wrong.

"One billion?!"

"Is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem, okay?!"

Cheng Xiao pointed at the amount in disbelief.

"What kind of traffic ticket can result in a billion-dollar fine?!"

"Is Mr. Cheng Xiao unable to pay?"

"Are you kidding me?! Is that the point? What makes you think you can demand a billion? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm going to report this to the General!"

Jiang Yue took a small sip of tea and slowly explained the reason:

"The trouble caused by Yao Fengjian is huge. He even broke the fox-man drum used in the festival, which is a very precious traditional instrument with great significance."

"The fox people value their customs, and even General Yueyu was very angry. The fine of ten billion is already a great concession."

Cheng Xiao frowned. How could he possibly come up with ten billion patrol coins? This wasn't Luofu, and such a large sum couldn't be used directly.

"Could we postpone it? After all, the amount is too large. I'll contact Luofu to pay out the 1 billion."

"I'm sorry, the Fox Clan's Moon-Hidden Ceremony is in three days, and we need these ten billion to comfort the Qingqiu Army."

Seeing that Cheng Xiao was somewhat embarrassed, Jiang Yue pulled out another document from the huge ravine.

"If Mr. Cheng Xiao finds this difficult, he can sign this contract, and then you will not need to bear any responsibility."

With the truth revealed, Cheng Xiao had a guess in his heart: perhaps this was Jiang Yue's true purpose.

[You must marry ten fox-girl maidens, from whom you can choose from the Yaoqing fox-girls. Any problems or responsibilities arising from this will be waived.]

"I refuse!"

"Why?! Isn't this better?"

Cheng Xiao suddenly stood up: "Lady Jiangyue, please stop teasing me. It seems that everything was a trap set for me. Where is my master? What is your purpose?! If you don't tell me the truth, I will write to the three generals of Zhu Ming, Luo Fu, and Yu Que."

Jiang Yue lowered her eyes slightly, and the six tails behind her swayed restlessly.

"If you marry ten fox-girl maidens, all problems will be dropped. Why does Mr. Cheng Xiao refuse?"

"Ms. Jiangyue, farewell!"

As soon as Cheng Xiao raised his leg, Jiang Yue immediately bowed down and knelt in worship.

"Sir, we were rude. Please don't be angry. Let me explain."

Cheng Xiao didn't want to pay attention, but Huanxi, who was guarding the door, also bowed down, and the proud pilot lowered his head.

Not wanting things to get too ugly, Cheng Xiao sat back down in his original seat.

"What do you want from me? Why resort to such clumsy and rude methods? It only makes me feel disgusted and repulsed."

Jiang Yue dared not argue any further and stated her purpose:

"What Yao Feng Sword Master did is true, but we asked her to lure you here, and all your fines will be waived."

Cheng Xiao smirked. It turned out that his troublesome master had left him with a handle against him.

"To our shame, we wish to win you over. If we could keep you in Yaoqing, that would be the best outcome. Therefore, we only want you to be bound to the fox-woman."

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, you may not know this, but ordinary people may not know your talents, but the six departments and six officials of our various immortal ships are basically familiar with you. You are very important to us, so Yao Qing plans to take the initiative to win you over."

Jiang Yue's words left Cheng Xiao speechless, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

"Your motives are too strange. We're all one family on Immortal Ship, why do these things?"

"It's different..."

Jiang Yue's voluptuous body swayed slightly as she softly said:

"Settling down in one place is ultimately different. If you can stay in Yaoqing permanently, then Yaoqing will be home to you, and its importance will be different."

"Aside from the reclusive Xuling Immortal Ship, all other immortal ships have begun to plan to win you over."

"However, Bai Heng is a fox spirit of our Yaoqing sect, and we don't want to hide it from you. So, sir, could you give us a chance?"

Jiang Yue's sorrowful face carried a hint of allure, as worried as a bullied widow.

The surrounding area was also filled with a touch of pink and purple hues, captivating the soul.

"Even if I were a concubine... I would still marry you~"
