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

"There are five names for a person, and three abstract ones. I... am not one of them."

Xing: "Wait a minute, Aunt Ren, Eriol is a cat, not a human. There should be four humans."

Ying Xing: "..."

"Don't call me 'Auntie' when you're on a mission."

"Okay, Aunt Ren, I understand."

Yingxing sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

After joining the Star Core Hunters, Kafka introduced her to the other members of the Star Core Hunters.

The leader of the organization is Eriol the Black Cat, Kafka is his second-in-command, Hoshi joins next, followed by Ryuki.

Finally, Yingxing was the last one.

I thought this organization would be a mysterious place, but it turned out to be just as lively and abstract as the Five Heroes of the Clouds.

Especially Xing, that gray-haired girl, is very noisy and looks a lot like Bai Heng.

Her face clearly exudes a cool, intellectual, and mature vibe, yet she has a mouth instead.

According to Eriol, the star was brought back by Kaffa, who also taught her basic common sense and combat skills.

Yingxing always felt that Elio was hiding something, but it didn't matter, as long as it had nothing to do with the Immortal Boat, she didn't care.

However, his time as a Star Core Hunter stirred Ying Xing's once calm heart once more.

She couldn't help but think of the scene when the Five Heroes of the Clouds fought together against the evil creatures.

Those were truly carefree days, filled with joy and laughter, drinking and laughing together – a truly delightful time.

Yingxing watched as Xing clung to Kafka for a hug, only to be dragged away by Liuying with a gloomy face, and felt a surge of new energy fill her heart.

She shook her head. Forget it, she was no longer the young and passionate girl she once was. Passion and excitement were no longer suitable for her.

It's okay to go along with their silly antics occasionally.

Just as she was pondering, Xing broke free from Liu Ying's control and nudged Ying Xing's waist.

"Aunt Ren, tell me more about what happened on the Immortal Ship. I'm really curious."

Xing gestured wildly as she spoke:

"And your Cloud Five Warriors team, they're absolutely awesome! Even their names are so elegant. This is the Immortal Ship! I definitely want to find a best friend from the Immortal Ship in the future!"

Ying Xing closed his eyes and chuckled softly:

"Hmph~ The events on the immortal ship are probably too many to recount in detail."

Xing likes anything interesting.

Everyone has their own story, and Xing is very curious.

Kafka is a woman who could be her mother, Hotaru is her best friend, and Yaiba is an elder who shares everyday family matters.

Moreover, Aunt Ren is an excellent cook; I heard she learned it from her husband, and Hoshi really enjoyed the meal.

"Aunt Ren, you said your husband's cooking is better than yours. Will I ever have the chance to eat his cooking?"

"It will happen."

"Aunt Ren, how old are you this year?"

Firefly's forehead bulged with veins as it dragged Star away again.

"Don't ask women such offensive questions!"

"How old are you, Firefly?"

Firefly: "..."

Yingxing glanced at Liuying. She already knew that Liuying was the last survivor of Grammer. According to Grammer's history, Liuying's age was measured in millennia.

Xing has really stepped on a landmine this time.

(A burst of powerful music begins)

Sam: "I will... ignite the sea of ​​stars!"

Xing: "Hmph hmph hmph hmph!!!"

......

Yingxing thought her days would pass by in this fulfilling way, but unexpectedly Jingyuan found her.

An arrest warrant was placed in front of Ying Xing, who had already washed up and removed her makeup.

Jing Yuan pointed to the picture on the wanted poster.

[Blade, the sharpest weapon in the hands of the Star Core Hunter, bounty 30 billion credits]

"Yingxing, shouldn't you explain who this Ren is? Why does his back look so much like yours?"

"I have no idea."

Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Don't know? Look at these clothes, they're clearly from the Immortal Boat. Even with dyed black hair and a long, flowing hairstyle, do you think I wouldn't recognize them?"

Ying Xing remained silent, and Jing Yuan directly delivered the conclusion:

"Yingxing, you are Ren!"

"I am not her."

Faced with Jing Yuan's questioning, Ying Xing could no longer keep up the pretense.

"At least... when I was on the Immortal Ship, I was Yingxing."

Jingyuan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yingxing, does General Huaiyan know about this?"

"I don't know."

Does anyone in the family know about this?

"...I don't know anything about it."

"You didn't tell anyone?"

"Little White Dew knows."

Jing Yuan took a deep breath.

"Forget it, you must have your reasons for doing this, but it's very dangerous to be out in the world and being wanted by the police. You'd better let your uncle know."

Ying Xing recalled what Elio had said: Xiao was a rare existence whose script could not be predicted.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to be more honest with Xiao.

As he pondered this, Yingxing realized something was amiss.

"Jingyuan, how do you know I am Ren? I almost never show my face when I appear, and almost no one associates me with Ren."

Jing Yuan snorted coldly:

"I've already said it, there's nothing on Mount Luofu that this general doesn't know!"

Ying Xing: "...You're pretty good."

That evening, Yingxing was taking a bath. She combed her white hair and gently rubbed it, the foam flowing over her hair.

Cheng Xiao sat to the side, wrapped in a bath towel, looking completely bewildered.

After dinner, Yingxing said he wanted to be honest with him. Turns out, this is what honesty means?

Then Ying Xing lifted her arm like a lotus emerging from water.

She tilted her head and looked at Cheng Xiao.

"Xiao? Won't you come down and soak with me?"

Cheng Xiao and Ying Xing, in a daze, ended up in the bathhouse, their skin touching and pressed close together.

The two enjoyed the comfort of the bath for a while, with Yingxing leaning on Chengxiao's shoulder.

"Xiao, there's something I want to tell you."

"Why do you have to say things in this kind of situation?"

"That's more honest."

"...That's certainly quite honest."

Ying Xing then explained that he had joined the Star Core Hunters.

Cheng Xiao suddenly realized why Ying Xing had been missing these days; he had gone out to work.

It was both unexpected and yet reasonable.

After refusing the invitation the first time, Cheng Xiao felt that they wouldn't give up. Now it seems that they had already secretly reached a cooperation agreement behind his back.

Cheng Xiao pinched his forehead.

"I know about this, but you know the reputation of the Star Core Hunters. No matter what your reasons for joining, you can't let others recognize your identity."

"I know that if the world knew that General Huaiyan's beloved disciple, one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and one of the heroes of the Immortal Ship had joined the Star Core Hunters, the negative public opinion it would bring would be too severe."

Cheng Xiao grasped a claw with one hand, and a [Snake] talisman materialized.

"Take this with you, it will help you conceal your presence and make your presence less noticeable, so that others will not be able to detect any clues between Ren and Yingxing."

"Xiao, thank you."

"Why must things be like this between us?"

"What I am grateful for is your trust."

Cheng Xiao chuckled. Could he really say that he knew the Star Core Hunter wasn't a bad person?

That would be far too absurd.

Yingxing then began to confess the people he knew among the Star Core Hunters.

When the topic of stars came up, Cheng Xiao seemed a little surprised.

So she was a female pioneer!
