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

Three geniuses and a demigod have new jobs.

Looking for bugs.

Clearly, Aunt Screw is a good driver, much better than the women who were speeding.

When the airship approached the dense swarm of insects, the swarm began to stir.

Hei Ta gestured to Cheng Xiao, then he put his hands on Bai Lu's waist and lifted her high up.

"Swarm! Your king has returned!"

White Dew also cooperated:

"I am the queen of the insects!"

A dramatic scene unfolded: the seemingly irrational insects appeared to actually understand.

The previously restless swarm of insects suddenly quieted down, seemingly bowing their heads or waiting for instructions.

Bai Lu was a little unsure of herself; would these ferocious insects really listen to her?

So Bailu stretched out her hand and pointed to the right.

The next moment, all the insects looked in the direction Bai Lu was pointing, even though there was nothing there.

"Really! They really listen to us! So cool, so amazing!"

Bai Lu smugly put her hands on her hips: "Hmph~ Now it's our turn to have a say in this family, isn't it~"

The response to Bailu was Chengxiao's two-finger Zen.

"Oh! Father!"

"Control the family business? You're still five hundred years away!"

The discovery that the White Dew solar term can control insect populations has become a hot topic.

Ruan Mei knew she couldn't do anything to Bai Lu, so she compromised and asked Bai Lu to control the real insects so she could conduct experiments on them.

The reward was desserts made by Ruan Mei herself, which she guaranteed were harmless.

The Black Tower was also very excited, as this was a plague of insects that had plagued the world for countless years!

Now, however, it is treated like a plaything in Bailu's hands. Even though Heita is not keen on biology, he has to take an interest in it now.

Screw Aunt could only admire; as a machine king, he wasn't overly curious.

But Aunt Screw was still wary. These insects didn't just target organic life; they ate everything and used everything as nourishment.

Whether inorganic life can be reduced in threat depends on how Bailu handles the situation.

However, Bai Lu was the happiest, as she was getting lazier and lazier.

"Bai Lu, time to eat."

Cheng Xiao called out from the kitchen.

"Okay~"

With a gentle wave of her hand, Bai Lu sent a plate-sized insect flying to the kitchen, carrying Bai Lu's nutritious meal over on its back.

All we need to do after White Dew is wait.

The insects are not only diverse in species, but also vary in size.

The largest can be compared to a planet, while the smallest is only the size of a fingernail.

But the amazing thing about swarms is that size does not determine strength.

Among all the insects, the strongest one was actually the smallest one.

So Bailu assembled a team of insect bodyguards specifically to protect her safety.

The True Stinging Insect has perfected both its fighting and splitting abilities and is completely obedient to White Dew.

They are the best subordinates, and a few of them are also intelligent and can assist Bailu in her work.

Although Chengxiao couldn't understand the communication between insects, Bailu could.

Cheng Xiao suddenly thought of the Shadow Legion, and Bai Lu at this moment was just like Xiao Yu at that time.

There's no way around it, the sense of déjà vu is just too strong.

At the same time, a bad feeling grew stronger.

White Dew seems normal now, but that's because of the influence of Cheng Xiao.

To solve the fundamental problem, we must separate the force of destiny.

But even the three geniuses thought it was a pipe dream.

Black Tower: "Don't be ridiculous. Strip away your destiny? Do you want to kill Bailu?"

Aunt Screw: "It's a pity that Lady Bailu did not become a Destiny Walker voluntarily. She did so because of her own bloodline. To strip her of her power would be to deny her life."

Ruan Mei: "I can help!"

Cheng Xiao: "Forget about you, I'll think of another way."

Ignoring Ruan Mei's incompetent rage, Cheng Xiao had already noticed Bai Lu's strange behavior.

She's so pretentious.

Bai Lu used to like to act well-behaved in front of him, but Cheng Xiao knew that she was indeed very well-behaved, just playful.

But things are different now. Bai Lu is pretending; she seems to have really changed.

For example, she became more clingy.

"Father!"

A clear voice rang out, and when Cheng Xiao came to his senses, Bai Lu had already thrown herself into his arms.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing~ I just wanted to hug Daddy~"

Cheng Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

Bai Lu is not a child who lacks love; she grew up in the sweet embrace of love from birth.

But Bai Lu is now afraid that Cheng Xiao will disappear at any moment. Not only does she stick to him every day, but she also secretly arranges for insects to follow him.

Although these subtle actions couldn't be hidden from Cheng Xiao, Bai Lu's behavior was already very strange.

"Daughter, let's go back to Luofu."

"Huh? Going back already? Yaoqing hasn't finished her studies yet, has she?"

"After something like this happened, your studies are no longer important. Taking care of your own problems is the most important thing."

"Hehehe~ I'm Dad's most important person~ I'm so happy~"

Bai Lu was coaxed into becoming an embryo, so naturally she listened to Cheng Xiao in everything.

"Let's go back then. It's been a long time since we've seen Mother and Aunts."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Lu was stunned for a moment.

[If we return to Luofu, then Father can no longer just look after himself.]

[My mother and aunts will steal my father's time... I can't go back!]

No, no, those are your loving mother and aunt; you should reunite with them.

But... Father won't belong to us alone anymore....

Bai Lu's mind suddenly became very confused, and a voice kept tempting her in her heart.

But Bailu still has the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong. Father has a wife. Father takes care of us and loves us, but Father is not ours!

The last shred of reason convinced Bai Lu that she should not show any resistance.

But the forced smile looked extremely strained.

After saying goodbye, Cheng Xiao and his daughter left.

Ruan Mei didn't speak, but simply saved Bai Lu's data and then contacted someone using a beacon—Dan Feng.

......

The insect swarm cannot be ignored.

Bai Lu commanded the insect swarm to follow Luo Fu's route, maintaining a distance of about five light-years at all times.

Then I happily went home.

"Mother! We're back!"

Bai Heng was somewhat surprised. Why was Bai Lu back so early?

"Oh, it's your little mistress~"

"Huh? You little brat, you're unhappy to see me? You don't like me?"

"Hehe~ No, it's just that there are some things I need to talk to my aunt about."

"What's going on...? Huh! What is this?!"

Bai Heng only noticed the exoskeleton growing on Bai Lu's body after getting close to her.

Although the insect's characteristics were greatly reduced with Cheng Xiao's help, it still could not be eradicated.

Bai Heng was terrified.

"Bai Lu! Did you eat something weird? Don't scare me! Come with me to the Alchemy Bureau right now!"

"It's alright, Father is already helping me recover. I'll explain to Mother later."

Bai Heng suddenly realized, "That's right, I should have gone to find Xiao Lang. How did you all end up like this just by going out!"
