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

"Cheng Xiao, this is a nourishing soup that I had my servant Long brew. Drink it; it's good for your health."

What kind of nourishing soup should I drink?

Cheng Xiao looked at Ji Ting with a puzzled expression, stunned by her amazing actions.

"Why don't you drink it yourself? You're always on the front lines fighting; you're the one who needs to replenish your body the most."

Ji Ting blushed.

"Since I started eating your nutritional meals and receiving your healing treatments, I've had virtually no health problems. I'm healthy, strong, and feel more relaxed than ever before."

"This nourishing soup is a token of my appreciation."

Cheng Xiao glanced at the soup bowl suspiciously. Good heavens, three deer penises lay quietly inside. It was obvious what kind of tonic soup this was.

"Ahem, thank you, but I can't accept your kindness, and I don't drink this kind of stuff."

"Why?! This is good stuff! The dragon masters in the clan said that drinking it will..."

Faced with Cheng Xiao's scrutinizing gaze, Ji Ting still didn't dare to say a word.

"Hmm...you really aren't staying in Yaoqing?"

"Luofu is my home, and you are very welcome to visit Luofu."

Ji Ting wanted to pretend he didn't understand the polite refusal, but the fact was that Cheng Xiao was really leaving.

"If I fight alongside you in the future, will you still take care of me like this?"

"Of course, um... that is, provided Danfeng doesn't mind."

"Okay! With that promise, I can endure the days without you!"

Cheng Xiao said helplessly, "Don't be so stubborn. You can let the dragon servant continue to take care of your daily life."

"No! You are irreplaceable!"

".....All right."

Knowing that Cheng Xiao was leaving, Ji Ting spent all his time hovering around Cheng Xiao.

Of course, most of the time she was filled with delicious food and massages.

According to her, she wanted to try everything that Danfeng had experienced.

Of course, one cannot devote oneself entirely to a carefree life; it is also important to maintain a proper balance, allowing one to take care of a close friend who is dependent on others for support.

It wasn't until Bai Heng came to find Cheng Xiao that the time had come.

"Chengxiao~ I've finished taking care of things at home! Let's go back to Luofu tomorrow~"

As soon as Bai Heng arrived, he rushed into Cheng Xiao's arms. Ji Ting, who was standing to the side, thought that Cheng Xiao would politely push him away, but to his surprise, Cheng Xiao embraced Bai Heng with great tolerance and gently stroked the fox's head.

"Alright, alright, let's go back tomorrow."

In an instant, Ji Ting witnessed the separation of the plasmosphere with envy.

"You must be Bai Heng, the pilot of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, our hero of Yaoqing."

Upon hearing the question, Bai Heng poked his head out from Cheng Xiao's chest.

"Oh! It's Tianfeng-kun~ Hello~"

Ji Ting wanted to say that he wasn't good at all; he was almost driven crazy with envy and jealousy.

However, she still had to force a smile on her face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. After all, we're both from Yaoqing, but we've never had the chance to get to know each other."

Bai Heng didn't think much of it, assuming that Tianfeng Jun also wanted to be friends with her, and happily walked over and took her hand.

"You should have said so earlier! I grew up listening to stories about the Dragon Lord! Tianfeng-jun was my idol back then~"

Ji Ting was overwhelmed by Bai Heng's enthusiasm, and Cheng Xiao was happy to see it.

"You two can chat and become friends. I'll go to the Imperial Shipyard to get the travel permits."

"Okay~"

However, Ji Ting was very dissatisfied. What did she mean? She was already extremely envious of Bai Heng and considered her an enemy. How could she let them be friends?

Just talking to Bai Heng is unbearable!

Bai Heng: "Cheng Xiao is my benefactor~ His massage techniques are really comfortable~"

Ji Ting: "Mmm~"

Bai Heng: "Especially when he touches you and gazes at you tenderly, I feel like I'm about to faint from happiness~"

Ji Ting: "Oh, oh, oh! That's right! Cheng Xiao's eyes are incredibly captivating! You're quite the expert, aren't you!"

I won't go into the details of their mysterious and friendly gossip, but anyway, after Cheng Xiao returned, the two had become so close that they were practically sisters.

"It seems you two get along well."

......

The next day, many people came to see him off.

Bai Heng's family, Ji Ting, and the people from Tianbo Company.

Jiang Yue's face was somber, her eyes filled with resentment.

Yesterday, when Cheng Xiao went to the Tianbo Company to process his documents, Jiang Yue tried everything she could but failed to win his heart in the slightest. For the first time, the beautiful fox spirit felt a sense of defeat.

But looking at the innocent white fox clinging to Cheng Xiao, Jiang Yue knew it wasn't a matter of charm, but rather the boundaries of being human.

"Heh, you think I'd give up? I, the second-in-command of Yaoqing, am determined to win over any man I pursue for the first time!"

Ji Ting held a cloth bag in his hand, inside which were five pieces of clothing sewn by Cheng Xiao as a keepsake.

She originally wanted to reciprocate with several large boxes of gold and silver jewelry, but unfortunately, she refused them all.

"Father, Mother, and Sister, don't worry about me. Just contact me with the jade tablet if you need anything. Your daughter is going back to Luofu~"

Old Man Bai Heng spat on the spot: "Who would want a rascal like you? Just be thankful you don't cause trouble for our good son-in-law when you go to Luofu!"

Bai Heng's mother: "That's right, that's right. Good son-in-law, come back to Yaoqing often. You're always welcome here."

Meanwhile, Bai Heng's cousin, Bai Shu, stared intently at Cheng Xiao from beginning to end.

"Ah~ I'm so envious... Brother-in-law, take good care of yourself~"

Bai Heng pouted in dissatisfaction at his family's double standards.

"What the hell! I was worried about them, and now this is just too heartbreaking, Fox!"

Cheng Xiao smiled and ruffled the fox's head. Yao Qing's trip had been very fruitful, and could be considered a success.

However, the lingering effects of the ride are still present.

It's a complete mess.

When Jiang Yue returned to the Tianbo Company, she discovered that her deputy had not been to work for a long time.

Her deputy was a four-tailed Crimson Sun Fox, whose fiery red fur was exceptionally vibrant. As her superior, she had to keep an eye on her.

When they arrived at the deputy's house with gifts, they found her fox to be unusually listless, as if she had lost all motivation to live.

"Chiyan! What's wrong? Why are you so distracted?"

"Lady Jiangyue...I...I've been heartbroken...I can't find my lover...I've lost all motivation in life."

"what?"

After questioning and investigating, Jiangyue discovered that at least several hundred foxes were exhibiting this depressed state.

After his subordinates went door-to-door to inquire, the truth finally came to light.

It turned out to be a male fox. His appearance instantly captivated the surrounding foxes, who fell in love at first sight and vowed to marry him.

Jiang Yue didn't believe it. What kind of fox could have such charm? She wanted to know who was pretending to be a ghost and bewitching the people!

As soon as the surveillance images came out, Jiang Yue shouted on the spot:

"Riding the Xiao?!"

The culprit behind all this has already returned to Luofu with his foolish fox.

However, as soon as they disembarked from the star raft, a certain Luofu Dragon Lord was already waiting there.

"Ah Xiao~ Xiao Lang~ You've been having a lot of fun these days!"

Danfeng's smile was forced and insincere; his eyes held a dark depth that was impossible to look directly into.

Then Kagami and Kagemoto arrived.

"Uncle-Master is finally back. If he hadn't come back, I really would have applied to visit Yaoqing."

"Ah Xiao, you know, a month's time, and the corresponding compensation..."

Cheng Xiao swallowed hard. "Horse" talisman, help me!
