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

Within Lin Yuan territory, Dan Heng looked at Ying Xing with a serious expression.

"Aunt Yingxing, what exactly is going on? Why are you helping to protect the Star Core Hunters?"

Yingxing held the teacup and took a small sip.

"To my shame, I often travel for work and haven't been able to explain many things. Actually, I went to be a Star Core Hunter."

Dan Heng: "?"

"Aunt Yingxing, I don't understand."

"It's okay, it's not too late to accept it now."

Dan Heng slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"Do the elders in the family know about this?! This is a wanted criminal! Aunt Yingxing, how could you become a wanted criminal? You are a hero of the Immortal Boat!"

"Danheng, there are five people, two of whom are 'slackers,' and I am one of them."

"Compared to Bai Heng's adventures outside, I spend all my time in the forge crafting strange objects, and it seems like I have nothing to do."

"But the Star Core Hunter invited me, for a reason I couldn't refuse: a script for the future. With it, I can help the Immortal Ship avoid many disasters. In fact, Jing Yuan already knew about the Illusionary Incident through the script, which is why he was able to get through it so easily."

"Is that so?! How could this be..."

Ying Xing sighed softly:

"Dan Heng, Star Core Hunters are wanted criminals in the company's eyes, but are we really bad guys? No, I made some new friends there. Don't worry, Star Core Hunters have never been enemies of the Star Train."

Dan Heng smiled wryly. What else was there to say? Her aunt had gone off to become a Star Core Hunter. How could she possibly treat her aunt as an enemy?

"It's good that you're sensible. By the way, I really feel you've lost weight. Well, we'll be meeting a lot more in the future, so I'll make sure you eat well on the train. There are five people on the train, and three of them are thin. You're one of them."

"Aunt Yingxing, you're not going to chase me onto the train to feed me, are you?"

"If you don't eat properly, it's very likely..."

"I've been eating on time!"

"How could that be? You've already lost weight since yesterday. It's obvious you weren't eating on time or in the right amount. Next time, you have to eat exactly what I cook."

"No way! Dragons are only beautiful when they're long and slender! I don't want to become a fat dragon!"

"Listen to me! You're not even listening to your aunt anymore?!"

......

The Star Train was docked at its exclusive port under the arrangement of the Sky Ship Company.

Himeko was entertaining the guests.

Cheng Xiao boarded the train again, and it seemed to look almost exactly the same as it had a thousand years ago.

"Chengxiao! It's Chengxiaopa!"

Pam walked over enthusiastically; she had even hugged Pam when she boarded the car in the old Sci-Fi.

Upon seeing Pam again, Cheng Xiao was filled with emotion.

"A thousand years have passed, and I remain as beautiful as ever, as does Pam."

Himeko chuckled lightly:

"I don't know much about the train conductor himself, except that Pam was already on the train when I first came into contact with it."

"Pam is Pam! No one can replace me, the train conductor!"

To celebrate the reunion of her friends, Pam dressed up as a chef and planned to cook a delicious meal for Cheng Xiao, while also letting Cheng Xiao taste her special drinks.

Himeko said with a hint of sourness:

"Oh my, the train conductor has never been this nice to us before."

Pam was in a panic:

"What?! We're all Pam's friends. If Himeko wants to eat this in the future, Pam will make it for her!"

Then, Shinichi took a seat in the party carriage of the train, and Himeko sat opposite him.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, I never expected Dan Heng to be your daughter. It's truly a wonderful coincidence."

"Haha, that's true. Danheng will need your help on the train from now on."

"Sir, you jest. With Danheng's skills and experience, the train is the one she takes care of."

Himeko then recounted how Danheng had defeated the giant beast on the space station, and she invited him to join the train.

"Indeed, Dan Heng's strength is not enough to completely traverse the starry river, but it is sufficient for him to stand alone."

The two chatted happily, and Ji Zi put in 200% effort to make a cup of coffee to entertain Cheng Xiao.

This coffee is my masterpiece to date; it's guaranteed to be delicious! I can't let the guests laugh at me.

Peak performance! If the other members of the train crew saw this, they would probably breathe on it and run away on the spot.

This unassuming cup of coffee is a true god-slaying weapon!

Cheng Xiao naturally knew the power of Himeko Coffee.

But what exactly was this strange thing? As a time traveler, I was naturally very curious.

So Cheng Xiao picked up the teacup, gently blew on it, and then pressed his lips to the rim, the liquid just moistening his lips.

"Ugh...!"

An indescribable, bizarre texture assaulted my senses, like viscous chunks of filthy flesh mixed with tentacle slime from the swamp.

His body's instincts compelled him to spit it out, but that would definitely spray Himeko's face with it.

This not only hurt Himeko's feelings, but also damaged her own image.

No, that's incredibly rude. He's a demigod; how could he be stumped by a mere cup of coffee?

Drink! I must drink! [Horse] A talisman to help me!

With unprecedented courage and perseverance, Cheng Xiao forced himself to drink the coffee in one gulp!

The slippery, viscous liquid moved through the esophagus like a pair of skillful, wrinkled hands.

After a period of delicate manipulation, it finally slid into the stomach.

Cheng Xiao's body emitted a white light, which would then go out, then light up again! And go out again... This repeated more than ten times.

Himeko was a little curious. Cheng Xiao was the first person to drink it, but why did he fall silent after drinking it?

About ten minutes later, Cheng Xiao raised his hand, gave a thumbs-up, and forced a smile, saying:

"not bad."

Himeko covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes on the spot.

"Great! Finally, someone can drink my coffee! It turns out that besides my father, there are still people who find it delicious!"

Cheng Xiao encouraged him:

"Ah, it's alright. It's just coffee; other people won't appreciate it. As for the skill, take your time. You'll definitely be able to brew coffee that everyone loves."

"Mr. Chengxiao! As expected, you are a knowledgeable person. Thank you for your encouragement. I will never let you down. Don't worry, countless ideas are already popping into my head. I'll brew a few cups for you to try!"

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, why did you suddenly slap yourself?! Don't hurt yourself like that!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I need to slap my mouth a few times, I don't feel right if I don't."

After being bombarded by Himeko, the white light emanating from Chengxiao's body was comparable to that of the Plasma Spark Tower.

Himeko looked completely satisfied. She had tried all the coffees she couldn't have before, and someone even tasted them for her. She was so happy.

When Pam came over with the dishes, she exclaimed in alarm:

"Cheng Xiao, what happened? Are you alright?!"

Cheng Xiao's soul finally escaped the torment of the warp under Pam's words and regained control of his body.

"Nothing happened here...." (Zoro's voice)

And within Cheng Xiao's body.

The other eleven talismans removed their top hats and looked with respect at the [Horse] talisman sitting idly on the arena.

The pale horse lowered its head, a smile playing on its lips.

It burned out...
