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

Xuan Quan put forward his own conjecture:

"Bai Lu is neither a traditional Vidyadhara nor a pure-blooded Vidyadhara, which led to her overreacting to the Dragon Ancestor."

"is that so?"

"It's highly likely. After all, look, Bai Lu doesn't have any other symptoms. She experienced this bloodline fluctuation after facing the Dragon Ancestor statue."

Cheng Xiao had some doubts.

"So, according to you, the path to immortality doesn't acknowledge the existence of White Dew?"

Xuan Quan shook his head: "How could that be? Bai Lu's Ming characteristics are not fake, and the power within her is genuine. I think it's more like a stress reaction after her first meeting with the Dragon Ancestor."

"If you want to verify it, it's very simple. Just take Bailu to see the Dragon Ancestor statue again."

Cheng Xiao also thought this was acceptable, so he went home without stopping and took Bai Lu away.

When Bai Lu came to the Dragon Ancestor statue again, she felt nothing.

Bai Lu herself also found it strange.

"I felt extremely uncomfortable when I saw this Dragon Ancestor. My stomach was churning, and I felt like I was going to vomit something out of my mouth."

Xuan Quan, who arrived upon hearing the news, looked as if he had expected it.

"This should be the power that has adapted to the immortal destiny, so there is no longer a similar stress response. When you grow up a bit more, Bailu, you can slowly unseal your Dragon Lord power."

"Yay!"

It was a false alarm, and Bailu once again put aside her worries and went back to playing.

But Cheng Xiao still didn't completely believe this conjecture.

Although Danfeng did not disclose the technique, he still emphasized the need to observe Bailu's life state at all times.

There had been no unusual occurrences for the previous year, and I thought everything was fine.

It now seems we must be even more cautious and be prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Cheng Xiao silently used the jade omen to inform Dan Feng of this matter.

[Danfeng]: I understand. I will give you the results soon. Please keep an eye on the situation during the White Dew period.

After receiving the news, Cheng Xiao carefully put away the jade tablet and quietly watched Bai Lu's smiling face as she played.

"No matter what happens, Bailu is my daughter, and I will not let the worst happen."

......

No abnormalities were observed during Bailu's subsequent studies and life.

Three months were spent in Fanghu, and this study tour came to an end.

Standing at the port of Fanghu, Xuanquan personally saw him off.

She was really reluctant to let go. She had finally managed to trick Cheng Xiao into coming to Fanghu under this pretext, but there had been no progress in the past three months.

Demand it directly. Cheng Xiao is stronger than her; he can't force a world-shaking harmony.

He was spying on them from the side. But all the electronic devices would malfunction at crucial moments, leaving Xuan Quan helpless.

For three months, he did everything in his power, treating Cheng Xiao with utmost respect every day.

This torment and pain of being able to look but not eat is truly unbearable!

"Second Aunt! Let's go! Fanghu is so much fun, we want to come again next time!"

Upon hearing Bai Lu's voice, Xuan Quan's lips curled up slightly.

"Okay, Bailu can come whenever she wants. Second Auntie guarantees that Bailu will have a new experience every time."

Xuan Quan stroked Bai Lu's head, and Bai Lu closed her eyes, showing an expression of enjoyment.

Then, glancing at her father registering the star raft in the distance, Bai Lu whispered:

"Does Second Madam have feelings for Father? Is she trying to become his wife?"

Xuan Quan: "!!!"

"What...what are you saying, child?"

"Doesn't Second Aunt want us to call you Mother?"

"......think."

"That's right! Don't worry, Second Aunt, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and we'll help you then~"

Xuan Quan took a deep breath, his gaze towards Bai Lu becoming even more kind and doting.

"Bai Lu, you are such a good child!"

"Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment~"

"Here's a one million dollar credit card, take it and spend it! Don't be shy!"

"Thank you, Second Aunt!"

Bai Lu laughed inwardly. The Dragon Lord's adoptive mothers were all incredibly wealthy and their thoughts were easy to guess. They had earned a whole year's worth of pocket money!

Just thinking about meeting other godmothers later on, I'm sure I can make a fortune then!

Just as Bai Lu was lost in thought, Cheng Xiao reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Ouch...it hurts, Daddy! What are you doing?"

"Why do you laugh so lewdly at such a young age? What kind of wicked scheme are you plotting with your dragon brain again?"

"No way~ Father, you just like to make malicious assumptions about us~"

Xuan Quan gazed at the heartwarming scene of parents and children from afar, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I really want to have a child with Cheng Xiao soon... Danfeng, when will your research end? This general can't wait any longer."

......

Next stop, Jade Palace Immortal Boat.

News of Danfeng arrived while they were en route to the Jade Palace.

Danfeng initially determined that Bailu's unusual condition was due to unstable bloodline caused by the mixing of human, dragon, and fox blood, and that further observation was needed.

Cheng Xiao had no doubts, after all, he didn't know what kind of technology Dan Feng had used, and besides, it was still being improved.

After all, Bailu was the initial experiment, and unexpected things happened, so it's normal for there to be some abnormalities.

Danfeng's method of nurturing dragons is not yet perfected and cannot even be popularized. The fact that Bailu has been born is already a great step forward.

Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, the existence of Bailu (White Dew) implies that the propagation of the divine is possible.

Cheng Xiao looked up at Bai Lu, who was playing with a toy.

At just over a year old, Bailu possesses both clever and quirky ideas, a mature approach to learning, and the innocent charm of a child.

However, her hobby was rather unique: raising insects.

"Dad, look! The insects from yesterday have actually pupaed up! How amazing!"

Bai Lu pointed to the pupae hanging inside the biomimetic breeding box, overjoyed.

"Dad, don't you think insects are amazing? Their incomplete metamorphosis is so interesting."

Cheng Xiao chuckled: "Does our daughter want to be a biologist?"

"I want to! If I ever have the chance, I definitely want to browse through all sorts of entomology books!"

Then Bailu's expression turned disappointed:

"Father, although the pupa is amazing, and the moment it transforms from a cocoon into a butterfly shows the wonder and greatness of life, I feel it's such a pity."

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

Bai Lu squatted down and looked at the pupa in the glass box.

"Father, although butterflies are beautiful and flutter gracefully, their lifespan is short and they will disappear in just one season. Insects live for the sake of living and endure for the sake of showing off, but they are only a fleeting moment."

"Insects are pure and simple-minded; they can swarm and act on a single command—the best soldiers! I dislike things that are fleeting. As long as they continue to reproduce and divide, can they be immortal?"

Bai Lu looked up at Cheng Xiao, her beloved father, her powerful father, and she wanted to know the answer.

At this moment, Bai Lu seemed like a child who was eager for knowledge but was ignorant, but deep in her eyes lay a faint obsession.

If the father is the most powerful, then the insects that reproduce from the father's seed...aren't they even more powerful?
