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

Vast blue clouds stretch out, and starry rafts fly in unison.

Wearing sunglasses, Cheng Xiao disembarked at the port and stepped onto the land of Yaoqing once again.

"Yao Qing is as solemn as ever."

After all, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship is either at war or on its way to war.

As a celestial vessel where everyone is a soldier, Yaoqing's various architectural styles are relatively simple.

Upon opening the Jade Sign Link to Ji Ting, a Vidyadhara maidservant soon arrived in a hurry.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, welcome to Yaoqing. Lord Ji Ting sent me to welcome you and give you a warm welcome."

Thank you for your trouble.

"You're too kind, it's my pleasure."

Cheng Xiao only brought a backpack containing two sets of clothes to change into.

His reputation on Xianzhou is currently quite exaggerated, so it's best for him to keep a low profile.

The maid led them to the inn, which was next to the headquarters of the Tianbo Bureau.

"The last time I came to Yaoqing was to handle some private matters at Tianbo Company, but now I've become a guest."

"Hehe~ Mr. Cheng Xiao, you can rest here. Your presence in Yaoqing is an honor to this humble abode."

"You flatter me. I'll get ready first, no need to trouble you."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. Please make yourself at home, Mr. Cheng Xiao."

The maid bowed slightly and left the room without making a sound.

Once the maid's footsteps faded into the distance, Cheng Xiao took out a specially made hooded bodysuit and covered himself completely, with the image based on Dr. Fangzhou.

The reason for doing this was Bai Heng's request.

"Xiaolang~ This trip to Yaoqing is going to be a bit troublesome~ I forgot to tell you."

"Be careful, your transformation into a fox-person last time might have caused some minor repercussions. Make sure the important fox-people don't find out!"

Although it may seem like making a mountain out of a molehill, Cheng Xiao is a cautious person, and his greatest strength is that he listens to advice.

He picked up the perfume, sprayed some on, and then sniffed it around.

"Hmm, that should solve the problem. Even if the fox-people have a keen sense of smell, they won't be able to detect me."

Once everything was ready, Cheng Xiao pushed open the door and went out to visit Ji Ting.

Then I regretted it as soon as I stepped out the door.

"Wow! This is so hot!"

Under the blazing sun, the self-made celestial body of the fairy ship hung high in the sky, releasing heat.

Cheng Xiao took out a tissue to wipe away his sweat and turned on the temperature regulation system inside his clothes.

"Phew~ That feels much better."

He casually tossed the tissue into the nearby trash can and left, humming a little tune.

During his leisurely stroll, Cheng Xiao noticed that the person in charge at the entrance of Tianbo Company was slumped at his workstation, looking dejected and completely lacking in energy.

"Wow, are the staff at Yaoqing really slacking off so blatantly?"

Cheng Xiao shook his head and muttered a harsh critique of the arrogance of those with secure jobs.

However, just as Cheng Xiao left, the four-tailed red sun fox at the entrance of the Tianbo Bureau made a move.

She was none other than Chi Yan, the deputy to Si Liu Jiang Yue.

Chi Yan fell in love at first sight with that incredibly beautiful male fox.

Since she couldn't see him again, Chi Yan was so distraught that she lost her appetite and had no energy left for work.

Jiang Yue had no choice but to temporarily assign Chi Yan to work at the front desk.

Despite this, Chi Yan had no interest in going to work and did not check anyone entering the Tianbo Company, allowing them to enter simply by registering their information.

"A fox's life... has lost its meaning..."

"My destiny... my beloved fox... my husband... where are you? I only ask to see you one more time, just one more time..."

After reviewing the surveillance footage, Jiang Yue discovered that the suspicious person was Lord Cheng Xiao.

However, since Lady Chengxiao is a celestial being, and she personally witnessed that the person she admired was a fox spirit, she ultimately ruled out the possibility of Chengxiao.

Only a few people knew the inside story; Ji Ting knew that Cheng Xiao could transform into a dragon and a fox.

"Ah... another day is coming to an end... so be it, let this loveless fox die silently and alone..."

Chi Yan tilted her head back, her empty eyes gazing at the sky. She no longer yearned to fly; her lifeless eyes were like a crashed starship, unable to take off again.

Suddenly! A barely perceptible fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

Its bright red nose twitched, and its tail and ears instantly stiffened!

His eyes, which had been empty just moments before, now shone with a fierce light that was frighteningly bright!

"It's him! It's his scent!"

Chi Yan transformed into a famous detective, seemingly determined to etch this trace of aura into her mind.

His body seemed to come alive again as he leaped into the air! The pilot's agile physique was on full display.

Finally, Chi Yan followed the scent to... a trash can next to the Tianbo Company's affiliated inn?

"This is it!"

Chi Yan gently picked out a wad of tissues from the trash can and held it in her palm as if it were a precious treasure.

Then, he buried his face in the crumpled paper, his nose flaring up as he greedily inhaled the lingering scent on the tissue.

"This is the tissue he used to wipe his sweat! And it hasn't been long; the smell is still strong! He must be nearby!"

Only after smelling the scent of the fox in its human form can one become captivated by its aroma.

Like poppies, it makes foxes addicted.

Chi Yan looked around with delight, trying to find even the slightest clue or trace.

Unfortunately, it seems that her beloved did not leave behind any other treasures.

But that was enough; she wasn't greedy.

The comfort brought by the handkerchief had temporarily relieved the pain of longing in her heart, and Chi Yan was full of energy and spirit at this moment.

"My husband must live here! It's so close yet so far! Let's just wait and see, the fox is the best at catching rabbits!"

Her crimson eyes were blood-red, with pink hearts pulsating within them, and a hint of sharpness that was barely perceptible.

The tongue licks the lips, the mouth is dry and parched.

Hehe~ Hehehe~

......

Cheng Xiao was naturally unaware of all of this.

He went directly to the territory of the Chiming clan and used the jade pendant given to him by Jiting to identify himself.

"Cheng Xiao! Come in quickly!"

Ji Ting acted swiftly and decisively, joyfully pulling Cheng Xiao indoors.

"You're so kind~ You came right away as soon as I invited you, did you really want to see me that much?"

"?"

Cheng Xiao was a little confused; this kind of witty talk was completely out of Ji Ting's style.

"Who taught you to talk like that?"

"Hehe~ Yueyu."

"It's that fox general again. I really need to find some time to meet her."

"Since I've been so honest, can I get a reward?"

"Did Tsukiyuki also say that?"

"Yes, this is the second plan."

"Hiss~ I really have to control you."

Cheng Xiao pinched Ji Ting's cheeks and pulled them left and right.

"You never learn anything good, instead you try to seduce people like a fox, huh?"

"No... ouch...it hurts...it's because I'm not good at these things..."

Sigh, where did the outspoken, emotionless, and stoic Tianfeng Jun go?

How come now only a dull and lifeless dragon lord remains?

"Speak, what brings you to Yaoqing?"

"Didn't Danfeng tell you? It's about the fox people."
