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

Master Yaofeng has been gone for three days.

Her courtyard in Louvre is indeed quite large.

In addition to the reception area, there is a master bedroom and four guest rooms.

It was divided into a front yard and a back yard.

Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu have cleaned the house inside and out over the past three days, and now it's ready to welcome the new year!

General Teng Xiao sent people to deliver a lot of furniture and daily necessities, which saved us the trouble of purchasing them ourselves.

Cheng Xiao picked up a rag and wiped the plaque at the entrance clean. It read "Tingluo".

These are the names of the houses in the Immortal Boat; each courtyard has a corresponding name.

This also means that the courtyard is now inhabited again.

Jingliu practiced his sword in the backyard.

Yao Feng's departure did not leave her bewildered, because her swordsmanship no longer needed her master's instruction.

What Jingliu needs to do now is to create his own path and wield his own sword!

Her sword spirit is "Slash," which was once broken and then repaired.

This made the Mirror Style sword even sharper, and from then on, it moved forward without hesitation.

But Jingliu was no longer arrogant. She knew that her power was just a drop in the ocean, and there were countless strong people in the world!

She couldn't handle the powerful generals of those prosperous people, the colossal warships that blotted out the sky, and so on, all on her own.

Although the Cloud Cavalry also responded through sheer numbers and technology, Jingliu understood in his heart:

There are quite a few beings in this universe who can break through all laws with a single force!

She will not rely on Cloud Cavalry and ingenuity; she will be an army by herself, and with just one sword, she will make thousands of evil enemies tremble with fear!

Cheng Xiao did not think Jing Liu was being too hasty.

Or perhaps it was precisely because of their previous defeat due to their eagerness for quick success that the fighting spirit of the Mirror Stream was aroused!

Killing the enemy is no longer for the pleasure of revenge, but to stop killing with killing!

Cheng Xiao would also spar with Jing Liu, and without using his full strength, Jing Liu couldn't even break through Cheng Xiao's defenses!

This is also why Jingliu recognized himself, because the people closest to him were already stronger than himself.

If you can't even catch up with the person you want to protect, what's the point of talking about protecting them?

Cheng Xiao's swordsmanship was very ordinary, lacking the essence of the Mirror Style.

But every move he makes is fast, ruthless, and accurate!

Jingliu felt as if he had been seen through, and no matter how he swung his sword, Chengxiao would block it.

Both of them used wooden swords, which led to the abandonment of the Mirror Style.

She always puts all her strength into her sword strikes, from the previous wide and sweeping attacks to increasingly cunning ones!

Although Cheng Xiao easily blocked it, anyone else would have been hacked to pieces by Jing Liu long ago.

With Jingliu's talent, Chengxiao used Tongtong to train her, and after the training, Jingliu also began to understand the use and exertion of each muscle.

Even now, every sword strike from the Mirror Style can instantly engage all the muscles in the body, causing them to exert force simultaneously!

Even if Cheng Xiao uses the [Snake] to open the Transparent Realm, it is still difficult to predict the trajectory of the sword flowing from the Mirror Stream in advance.

Cheng Xiao walked to the backyard and invited Jing Liu to have lunch.

Jingliu sheathed his wooden sword and exhaled a breath of stale air.

After wiping away the sweat and putting the sword away, a heavy groan could be heard coming from the weapon rack.

This wooden sword is very heavy!

It was made of ironwood, and its blade was not sharp, yet it weighed as much as a thousand pounds.

Using this ironwood heavy sword to unleash a slash is Mirror Style's current goal.

The slash represents sharpness, and it shows that even with a blunt weapon, the Mirror Style can still be a sword.

This isn't for swinging and smashing; that's not a slashing motion.

It's used to cut through gold and iron!

Jingliu wiped his face with a towel, then went to the sink to wash his hands and face.

After wiping it clean, Jingliu slowly walked to the main hall, next to which was the kitchen.

The courtyard isn't actually very big; it's a bit crowded for six people.

The main room is spacious enough for Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu to live in.

So all four guest rooms are empty.

At this moment, two dishes and a soup were laid out on the table.

Pork bone soup, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and green pepper stuffed with shrimp paste.

It was truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate!

These are all skills that Cheng Xiao learned from the army cooks over the years.

Combined with the dishes I remembered, the taste was absolutely superb!

Two sets of bowls and chopsticks were already set out, so Jingliu picked up the porcelain bowl and went to the kitchen to get his food.

Upon entering the kitchen, the first thing you see is Cheng Xiao wearing an apron.

Moreover, coupled with his well-proportioned muscles and faint smile, he exudes the aura of a married man.

Jingliu felt dizzy, and his face was probably burning hot!

She blushed and lowered her head to get her food, so as not to let Cheng Xiao notice anything amiss.

"Oh? Are you all packed up?"

Cheng Xiao saw Jing Liu come in and went over to ask him a question.

"Okay, let's go out for dinner."

Jingliu didn't dare to say anything more; he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Cheng Xiao reached out and brushed away the white hairs by her ear:

"Your hair is all dusty. Let's take a shower after lunch! We'll go check out the manufacturing company this afternoon."

"....good."

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiao was a little puzzled, but didn't think much of it and handed the small bowl in his hand to Jing Liu:

"This is freshly made hawthorn ice cream~ Eat it after dinner, so you don't upset your stomach."

Cheng Xiao deliberately waved the ice cream in front of Jing Liu's eyes for a moment, then put it in the refrigerator.

Jingliu felt something was about to flow out of her nose.

This overflowing happiness, this simple life, this warmth that belongs to Chengxiao!

My nose almost bled; young people really do have a short temper!

......

After dinner, the two walked hand in hand on the street.

The Immortal Boat has a large population, with about 30% being short-lived aliens.

The sheer volume of people caused by interstellar trade alone makes Changletian perpetually bustling.

Jingliu looked at Chengxiao:

"What else did Master say before he left?"

"Haha, it's a gift she left for us, and some follow-up arrangements."

"Gift?"

"Yes, two swords."

"This is a nice gift. It seems that Master still has some connections in Luofu."

"Master is the Sword Master, how come he has no connections?"

"Given her personality, which only knows how to use a sword to kill people, I can't guarantee anything."

Cheng Xiao felt somewhat helpless. Mingming Jingliu also liked to use a sword to kill people, right?

There are no wasted students when it comes to teaching.

The two arrived at the Engineering Bureau by starship, where there were far fewer tourists.

Most of them were dressed uniformly, so they were probably craftsmen or students from the Bureau of Works.

Cheng Xiao arrived at the main gate and took out the token that Yao Feng had left for him.

After checking them over, the gatekeeper opened the door and let the two in.

The Engineering Department is the main administrative center of the Immortal Ship, where many technological research and development projects are conducted.

Therefore, ordinary people cannot enter or leave at will.

Cheng Xiao caught a passing student and asked him a question;

"Hello! May I ask where Master Mozi is currently working?"

"You're asking about Master Mozi? May I ask who you are?"

"We've come to collect the swords we entrusted to him to forge."

"I see! To be able to commission Master Mozi to make it, how enviable! He's over at the Creation Furnace right now!"

Thank you very much.

Cheng Xiao inquired about the location of the Creation Furnace and then strolled leisurely across the stone bridge with Jing Liu.

Jingliu was curious about the production line of the manufacturing machine, and the golden gatekeepers placed in the warehouse looked very powerful.

The routes within the workshop were complicated, and Cheng Xiao ended up getting lost.

However, there are many small tricks along the way, such as the daytime dragonfish and the dragon cloud toad.

Cheng Xiao tried to talk to them, and they were indeed intelligent!

"Click-clack... Creation Furnace... Up, down, down, left, right, left..."

The arowana's voice was very halting, as if it had some kind of malfunction.

The golden toad standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer.

"Gentlemen, just go straight to the crossroads and turn right. The furnace is very large; you can see it directly."

Cheng Xiao expressed his gratitude, and Jing Liu looked at Ji Qiao curiously for several moments before leaving.

As we left, we could still hear the golden toad muttering:

"Haven't used it in so long, old buddy, don't actually have a short circuit..."
