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

The women returned home, each with a solemn expression.

Yao Feng held the photo album and looked at it with great satisfaction, occasionally offering his comments.

"My disciple's taste isn't very good either; they're all just ordinary, vulgar women, but they're definitely seductive."

Mirror Flow: "..."

Master, that's not the point!

Danfeng, radiating coldness, said to Ni Qing:

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Give me all the information about the woman in this document by today!"

Ni Qing bowed and took her leave.

Yingxing seemed to be deep in thought.

"Are we being too traditional? Should we try the poses and outfits mentioned above?"

Jingliu was greatly alarmed:

"How can you tolerate such shamelessness and indecent behavior, Yingxing? You're usually the most conservatively dressed."

Ying Xing said calmly:

"I can still accept it. When traveling for work, short sleeves and skirts and backless dresses are actually quite normal. It's just that the local clothing in Xianzhou is too conservative."

Bai Heng suggested:

"Not necessarily. For example, the dancers' costumes of our fox people are very alluring, with their bare shoulders partially exposed, revealing glimpses of their bodies. That's what you call seductive."

Jing Yuan retorted:

"You said it's a dancer's outfit, how can you wear it as everyday clothes?"

"Yeah, that's really embarrassing."

In the end, it was Mirror Flow who made the decision:

"Ah Xiao is not a superficial person. Instead of changing yourself based on clothing and such, it would be better to first find out why he has such things. With our appearance, these women cannot compare to us."

Bai Heng said weakly:

"Maybe it's just like that line from a folk tale: 'The wild flowers smell sweeter than the garden flowers.'"

Jingliu immediately glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll whimper."

While Yun Wu was feeling gloomy, Yao Feng was much more cheerful.

"You guys just love to get stuck on things. From my experience, the root cause is still yourselves."

Jingliu asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, Master?"

Danfeng and the others listened attentively.

Yao Feng extended his finger like a wise and sage teacher, and began to speak eloquently:

"Tell me, why would a man watch this kind of stuff? It's because he's thinking about it. It means you guys aren't being 'squeezing' him enough, otherwise why would he have these extra thoughts?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Jing Liu pursed his lips: "When I'm training in the Cloud Cavalry, I do lack initiative when I come back to eat and wash up."

Danfeng said regretfully, "You should have said so earlier! I thought Cheng Xiao had fallen for someone else. Don't worry, the dragon can use magic for a whole day! If we call on the other dragon lords, it will be five days."

Ying Xing felt guilty: "I've been away on business trips too many times lately and haven't spent enough time with Xiao. I'll definitely plan my time better in the future."

Bai Heng happily wagged its tail: "I see, then next time I'll try it on the Star Raft, a new experience~"

Jing Yuan sighed helplessly, "What should I do? Can I join too? My martial uncle doesn't even treat me like a woman who can use magic!"

Seeing Jingyuan's distress, Yaofeng said with exasperation:

"Grand-disciple, you're too conservative. Aren't you supposed to be unparalleled in wisdom and strategy? Why don't you just set a trap? Cheng Xiao is soft-hearted, so just go for it. He can't handle it unless he's gay."

"I understand now, my master is indeed very experienced."

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

Danfeng: "The older generation's way of playing is still the most practical. I also hate those roundabout methods."

A sinister laugh echoed from the living room, like a group of ghosts discussing how to devour flesh.

Bai Lu huddled in her room, eavesdropping. What were her elders up to?

Should we inform Father?

Forget it, Father's been watching that kind of stuff, he deserves a lesson.

I wonder if there are any with a lolita style...

......

Cheng Xiao carried the medicinal herbs and vegetables home, humming a little tune.

He went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and put the things away. Then he turned around and went to the living room, where he froze.

"Why are you home all day? That's rare. I should have bought more groceries. Will we run out?"

Cheng Xiao was laughing and joking when he realized that everyone's expressions were off.

Pain, struggle, guilt, complexity—it all forms a pie chart.

"Um, what happened?"

Jingliu snorted coldly and slammed the photo album onto the coffee table.

"Ah Xiao, explain what this thing is properly."

Cheng Xiao: "!!!"

"This is a huge misunderstanding! This isn't mine!"

"Oh? You mean someone gave it to you as a gift? And you still dared to accept it!"

Cheng Xiao rubbed his forehead and quickly explained:

"That's not what I meant. This belongs to Yunhua. He almost got caught peeking at it, so he asked me to hide it for him. I just put it on the bed when I got home."

Yao Feng nodded: "That reason is acceptable. After all, how could such filth be openly placed by the bedside for us to discover?"

The others looked somewhat hesitant, but Jingliu gritted his teeth and said again:

"Okay, but you have to call Yunhua to verify and confront her. If you are truly innocent, then we'll pretend today's events never happened."

Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was reasonable. If a verdict had been handed down without any discussion, it would have been disastrous.

So Cheng Xiao hurriedly contacted Yun Hua and casually turned on speakerphone.

[Yunhua]: Bro, what's up with the call?

【Cheng Xiao】: Yun Hua! Regarding that photo album, you need to prove it's yours right now. I'm just hiding it for you, and I'll return it to you tomorrow.

[Yunhua]: Photo album? What's that? Well, Chengxiao, you're a married man and you still look at this kind of stuff. I despise you!

After saying that, Yunhua hung up immediately, not giving Chengxiao any chance to refute.

"Yunhua! Yunhua! Yunhua, you tricked me!!!"

Cheng Xiao roared, but the atmosphere around him had already turned cold, and a black aura filled the living room.

Danfeng: "We almost got tricked by Cheng Xiao. We were too soft-hearted."

Jingliu: "Luckily, I'm naturally suspicious."

Bai Heng: "Fa Fa Fa~"

Yingxing: "Xiao, it's okay, I'll satisfy you."

Jing Yuan: "Uncle-Master, if you can even look at this kind of thing, does that mean I don't have to hold back anymore? Right, right! Hehehe, hehehe~"

Yao Feng: "Sigh, my disciple, you really are something. You have us all, yet you still have the energy to watch such shameless things. It seems I really have to make you give up thinking."

Cheng Xiao: "Hey! Can we reconcile?"

Finally, Cheng Xiao was dragged away, and the talisman proved ineffective once again.

Bai Lu stepped out of the room, shivering with fear.

"Father, he should be alright, right?"

Bai Lu looked at the ten scratches Cheng Xiao had left on the ground, and could see how badly her father had suffered.

"Forget it, let's just get takeout."

Danheng didn't return until evening.

"Sister, where are Father and Aunt?"

As Bai Lu ate her boxed lunch, she said earnestly:

"Little sister, I advise you not to ask too many questions. Father is being tortured. Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Dan Heng: "?"
