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

The thing Yueyu least wanted to see still happened.

Feixiao activated her Buli bloodline under the crimson moon.

Her turquoise eyes were tinged with crimson, but she had not yet lost her mind.

"Sister Yukong, Sister Caiyi, go quickly, don't worry about me..."

"Feixiao! How could we possibly abandon you!"

Yu Kong hurriedly carried Fei Xiao on his back, while Cai Yi stopped Fei Xiao's bleeding and shouted for a doctor.

"How could this be? Why is the blood still flowing? Why is my body tearing apart?"

Caiyi was extremely flustered; she had never seen anything like this before.

Yu Kong's fur was soaked with Fei Xiao's blood, and all she knew was to get Fei Xiao to the infirmary as quickly as possible.

In a moment of panic, Yue Yu appeared in a flash.

"Leave it to me. You all quickly hide inside the tents, and remember not to look directly at the sky."

Then Yue Yu carried Fei Xiao to the medical office.

"Have the surgery as soon as possible, I'm going to find Cheng Xiao!"

Seeing Fei Xiao's injuries, Jiao Qiu quickly called for help to treat him.

"Feixiao, you idiot! You know perfectly well that going overboard in battle will only activate your bloodline, why won't you listen!"

Feixiao said weakly:

"Unfortunately, I was confident this time, but then there was that crimson moon in the sky..."

Jiaoqiu hung up the blood pack and began the transfusion, while Ningli wrapped bandages around Feixiao's limbs and waist.

"Stop talking, take your medicine first."

"Pepper Hill, I want to fight, to vanquish these vile creatures, and to cleanse the filth..."

Jiaoqiu rebuked:

"Fight! Fight! Why are you pushing yourself so hard? With this mixed-race Moon Madness, if you keep overworking yourself, you might not even live to 50!"

Ningli, as Feixiao's close friend, is well aware of Feixiao's obsession.

"Feixiao... at least get through the current pain, otherwise, let alone fighting, you won't be able to move your body even an inch."

Jiaoqiu was very dissatisfied:

"Ningli, you can't indulge Feixiao. If he just lived an ordinary life, he could live two or three hundred years like a normal fox-person. Why does he insist on fighting? Chasing after shooting stars?"

"I don't want to be some big shot. I just want to open a hot pot restaurant or a eatery, and make some small contributions as a doctor. That's my life in Jiaoqiu—peaceful and fulfilling. I really don't understand you guys!"

Ningli took Jiaoqiu's hand and spoke softly:

"Please don't be angry. Feixiao chose power because of her unavoidable short lifespan. Rather than living a muddled life, she chose to use her life to chase the shooting star that guides her."

Jiaoqiu looked at her friend in front of her, and after a long silence, she sighed:

"I really can't do anything with you guys, so I'll just play along. I'm just a nobody, but even if I risk my life, I can still turn the tide."

"As for the treatment for Lunar Madness..."

"I have."

A voice interrupted their conversation.

Yueyu returned with Chengxiao.

Under the power of the talisman, Fei Xiao's terrible injuries were immediately healed.

Jiaoqiu and Ningli were overjoyed, and Jiaoqiu even quickly reverted to his squinty-eyed state.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, thank you. It's true that when the sky falls, there are always adults to hold it up."

Cheng Xiao chuckled, then looked at Fei Xiao seriously.

"Feixiao, I can cure your illness, but I'll give you two choices."

"I'm all ears."

"First, I will balance the hybrid power within you, so you will be free from the Moon Madness and can even control it, but the power brought by the Moon Madness will be reduced by more than half."

Jiaoqiu immediately said, "This is good. It preserves some of our strength and helps us stabilize our bodies."

Feixiao said calmly:

"don't want."

Jiaoqiu was greatly shocked. Why was Feixiao always going against him?

Ningli smiled and patted Jiaoqiu on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged!"

"The second option is to temporarily balance your power, and then when you are strong enough, obtain the Red Heart, which represents the highest status of the Bu Li people. With the power of the Red Heart, you will no longer be troubled by the Moon Madness."

"However, the risk is great. A loyal heart can bewitch a fox's mind, and if your will is not strong, you may even be possessed by it."

Jiaoqiu stopped waving her folding fan, Yueyu looked at her apprentice, and Ningli casually checked the medical equipment.

Ultimately, Feixiao chose the second option.

Yue Yu nudged Fei Xiao's arm with her elbow:

"Good disciple, you have ambition!"

Jiaoqiu sighed in exasperation, while Ningli clenched her fist in encouragement.

Feixiao looked directly at Chengxiao, and the shooting star guided her once again.

The crimson moon in the sky was shot down by the crossbow bolts of the Works Bureau after a quarter of an hour of arrogance!

Jing Tian and Fu Xuan discovered its weakness through divination.

The fairy boat's attack resumed, and the fox people, who were seething with anger, needed to vent.

Jiaoqiu secretly sought out Chengxiao, hoping to have a private conversation with him.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, you are a shooting star in Fei Xiao's eyes. She listens to what you say. Thank you for giving her the ability to live a normal life."

Cheng Xiao chuckled: "It's nothing, I'm giving her a chance to fight her fate."

Jiaoqiu remained silent for a moment, then shared her thoughts:

"Sir, I admire you very much. Your attitude towards life is simple and gentle. I grew up reading the stories of Yun Wu, and your shadow always shines on me."

"So I can't understand why a peaceful and stable life isn't good? I've always grown up steadily, that's my rule for survival."

"But now I understand that peace and stability are won by those on the front lines and maintained by strength. Mr. Cheng Xiao has the power, which is why he was able to help the Immortal Ship achieve peace."

Cheng Xiao nodded, saying that offering guidance to the young fox-person was not a bad idea.

"So what do you think of Feixiao's behavior?"

Jiaoqiu shook his head:

"Impulsive, reckless, foolish, and too obsessed. To be honest, I still can't understand that kind of behavior that risks one's life and doesn't cherish oneself at all."

Then Jiaoqiu lowered her head and spoke softly:

"But I... I envy that you would risk everything for a belief, and that this struggle will bring you long-term peace in the future."

"Even if I'm just a nobody, even if I can only stand behind the powerful, I want to give them a chance to win, even if it means risking my life!"

Cheng Xiao patted Jiao Qiu on the shoulder.

"How come you look so old at such a young age? Youthful spirit and passion should be your main theme."

"You've actually been putting it into practice all along, haven't you? Otherwise, why would you give up the hot pot restaurant and come to the Cloud Cavalry Army to be a physician and strategist?"

"You really just want to make a small contribution? No, your youthful ambition tells you that you also want to leave your mark on the Immortal Ship."

Jiaoqiu said excitedly:

"I understand! I will study hard and assist the general and the others!"

"This child is teachable!"

After some persuasion from Cheng Xiao, Jiao Qiu finally realized the truth, and her persona was saved.

"Oh, sir, I have another request."

"Go ahead and say it."

"Sir, your skill is renowned throughout the Immortal Journey, and so is your culinary artistry. May I ask if you could teach me how to make hot pot broth?"

"We're at war, and you're already thinking about your hotpot!"

"Foxes live for food above all else!"
