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

"Xiaolang! Haven't you been taking good care of our daughter?!"

Bai Heng arrived with questions.

Cheng Xiao had nothing to say about this. Who could he reason with? Wasn't this bullying an honest person?

"The story of White Dew... is a long one."

"Are we very busy right now? Be honest!"

While Bai Heng and Cheng Xiao were arguing, Bai Lu returned to Lin Yuan Realm to find Dan Feng.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

A gentle smile appeared on Danfeng's usually aloof face.

"Little White Dew is back so early, has something happened?"

"Mom is amazing! She guessed it right away!"

Bai Lu brazenly displayed her insect-like body parts, and her grotesque exoskeleton made Dan Feng frown.

The insect's features were strikingly glaring against Chi Ming's elegant and slender body, causing Dan Feng great concern.

She never expected this outcome. The experiment using insect fluid was indeed successful, but she never anticipated such a side effect.

"Little Bailu, no matter what happens, you will always be my daughter, and your mother will always protect you!"

"Okay! I knew Mom was the best!"

Bai Lu snuggled into Dan Feng's arms and acted coquettishly, then wanted to go find Aunt Ying Xing to play.

Danfeng watched Bailu skip away, clutching a jade tablet tightly in his hand.

The above contains last night's message log:

[Ruan Mei]: Lord Danfeng, I have told you in detail what happened to your daughter Bailu. If you need help, you can contact me at any time.

[Danfeng]: I cannot trust you. If you are truly sincere, then come to Luofu for a face-to-face meeting, or tell me your method directly!

[Ruan Mei]: Please rest assured, I made a deal with Cheng Xiao a long time ago. Helping you is what I should do. Give me time, and I will give you a satisfactory answer.

This is a matter of great importance, and Danfeng cannot allow Bailu to truly become an insect.

If left unchecked, the power of reproduction will surely devour immortality, and she must... But Bai Lu has already run back to the experimental site where she was born.

This place holds great significance for her.

The original experimental facilities were preserved, and the place was further transformed into Yingxing's forge.

Danfeng and Yingxing usually work here, one continuing experiments and the other smelting and forging.

"Aunt Yingxing! We're back!"

Bai Lu came and greeted them.

Yingxing was forging iron at that moment and was momentarily distracted by Bailu's voice.

"You're back? Auntie's busy right now, but I'll take you out for something delicious later."

"No need~ I just came to say hello to my aunt, I'm going back now~"

"Okay, take care of yourself."

Yingxing, unsuspecting, continued hammering away at the iron.

Seeing that Ying Xing was no longer paying attention to her, Bai Lu tiptoed to the door of Dan Feng's laboratory.

"My mother has done so many experiments, there must still be something I need. As long as I can get it..."

Bai Lu's lips curled slightly, revealing a wicked smile that was out of character for her.

But her ambitions were shattered in an instant.

"Why can't I open it?!"

The laboratory door was locked by a peculiar restriction, remaining completely still.

Danfeng increased vigilance after Bai Heng's accidental entry into the laboratory caused a misunderstanding.

He specifically sought out Kunling to learn the art of sealing doors.

Only a being of the Dragon Lord level could push it away; even Bai Lu, a half-baked expert, couldn't.

"Damn it! I should have studied harder back in the Jade Palace!"

Bai Lu could only rage helplessly at the door; it seemed she would have to continue to endure it for a while longer.

Just as Bai Lu returned home dejectedly, an opportunity unexpectedly came knocking on her door.

Danfeng took out a stack of documents and handed them to Bailu, saying softly:

"Daughter, you should know Ms. Ruan Mei, right? I've partnered with her, and with this biological genius's help, we're sure we can remove your reproductive power."

Bai Lu was stunned.

"Alas, but the other two geniuses said that being separated from one's destiny would lead to death..."

"Don't worry! I'll talk to your father. With him there to look after you, nothing will go wrong. If it succeeds, all your troubles will disappear!"

"All right....."

Bai Lu said reluctantly.

Danfeng was very pleased that Xiaobailu was still very obedient.

However, Bai Lu was secretly laughing to death!

[Hahaha! Heaven is on my side! Mother is really delusional, why give up such a useful power? Mother is so stubborn and old-fashioned, let me prove it to you!]

......

During dinner, Bai Lu remained the obedient girl she always was.

Cheng Xiao was very happy. Bai Lu seemed to be really stable. After observing for a while, he would contact Ruan Mei.

"Come on, everyone, let's eat."

Cheng Xiao invited his family to dinner, and everyone ate heartily. It had been a long time since they had tasted Cheng Xiao's cooking, and their appetites were now greatly increased.

But everyone had their own agenda.

Jing Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling deeply regretful.

She had already devised a hunting plan with General Yueyu, but she never expected that her martial uncle would return with Bailu ahead of schedule.

Danfeng and Baiheng were preoccupied with Bailu's affairs, and were somewhat absent-minded during their meal.

Jingliu and Yingxing sat on either side of Chengxiao as if nothing had happened, focusing only on their meal.

Cheng Xiao, meanwhile, was eating the food prepared by Yao Feng.

"Try your master's cooking. This is the final product; it definitely won't kill you!"

The food in front of Cheng Xiao looked quite presentable. Could it be that Master really has the skills of a housewife in addition to practicing swordsmanship?

I took a small bite, and it was edible. Although the taste wasn't delicious, it was at the level of a typical home-cooked meal.

"I never expected Master to have made such progress. Amazing!"

Hearing Cheng Xiao's praise, Yao Feng said proudly:

"Of course! With two experimental subjects for me to try at will, I naturally gained an understanding of how to use various seasonings."

"Experimental subject?"

"Don't worry about it~ They're just two idle people."

Cheng Xiao nodded without asking any further questions.

The dining table was warm and lively, with a wonderful atmosphere.

But only one person is about to explode.

Bai Lu's eyes twitched slightly, but she still had to pretend to be happy.

But she was already very impatient!

From the start of dinner, her father didn't say a single word to her!

He even prioritized serving food to his wife next to him! Not a single bite of the food in Bailu's bowl was put there by her father!

Why? Why? Why?!

And Mother, didn't you promise to help me with my health problems? Why are you still bothering Father? Get out of here!

Very good...very good! Then we don't need to worry about anything anymore, right?

We are very strong! That way, we can be of the greatest use to Father! That's the one who can stay by Father's side forever!

My mother is very good to me. It wouldn't have been bad to share my father with her, but she shouldn't have thought of taking away my power!

Without power, I am no longer a threat! That's right, that's right! This is Mother's purpose, and we've already understood it!

Bai Lu's smile was forced and insincere; her eyes were deep red, devoid of warmth.
