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

After leaving Zhu Ming, Cheng Xiao quickly arrived at the Jade Palace.

Kunling (Kungang-kun) has a very gentle personality, so he should be the easiest to deal with.

However, Cheng Xiao still miscalculated.

Under normal circumstances, Kunling is in a sluggish state of mental blankness due to the massive amount of knowledge in his brain.

However, Yao Guang did not think so.

That's right, Yao Guang is already a general in the Jade Palace, and he has long since established himself, even doing better than his predecessor, Fu Guang.

She made full use of her divination skills to predict good fortune, transforming the Jade Palace into an economically prosperous entity, with all kinds of business sectors flourishing under her divination.

In addition to predicting business trends, Yao Guang also uses the rich knowledge in Kun Ling's mind to supplement various fields, allowing Yu Que to always gain an advantage in business.

Compared to Fuguang's free-range approach, Yaoguang makes the most of everything, with Kunling basically having to activate its brain switch once a week.

Today is the day Kunling liberates his mind.

The usually naive Kunling now displayed the aloofness that only a Dragon Lord possesses.

Her eyes held an extreme calmness and wisdom.

"The new direction for investment in the silver village has shifted to silver refining, pursuing excellence and quality."

"The newly launched Diting Coin must also be constantly monitored in circulation to prevent inflation."

"besides...."

Kunling kept spouting various plans, which the maid beside her quickly transcribed.

After a while, Kunling's voice stopped.

The maidservant, having waited in vain for the Dragon Lord's voice, curiously raised her head.

"Lord Dragon Lord, what's next? You've only said half of it."

However, the maid noticed something was wrong; the usually calm and intelligent Dragon Lord had reverted to his dazed and confused state.

What happened?!

The answer appeared the next second: Cheng Xiao had arrived there without anyone noticing.

The maid recognized Cheng Xiao and covered her mouth in surprise.

Waaah! Mr. Cheng Xiao has made a surprise appearance on the Jade Palace Immortal Ship. What auspicious omen will he bring to the Jade Palace?

The maid could already imagine tomorrow's headlines, so she quickly contacted Yao Guang.

Kunling stared blankly at Cheng Xiao, then chuckled:

"Oh, it's Cheng Xiao~ Hehe, you're here~ It's been so long since I've seen you~"

Kunling spread out his palms and tried to count the strands one by one, but he couldn't possibly count how much time had passed.

Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kunling was still the same as always.

Make a promise to spend a day with her, that should be enough.

Cheng Xiao took out the desserts he had prepared in advance and fed them to Kun Ling, since she had been using her brain too much and needed a lot of sugar.

Kunling obediently ate the food bite by bite, her face beaming with happiness.

This blonde, big-breasted, silly beauty is the most gluttonous.

As the two were interacting amicably, a teasing voice rang out:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, how come you didn't even send a message? I should have prepared a welcoming ceremony."

Then, the tall and graceful Yao Guang walked in, her steps as light as a sparrow, a smile in her eyes.

"I've seen the progress of Jade Palace's development; Yao Guang, you've done a great job!"

"Thank you for the compliment. With your recognition, I feel I've done a worthwhile job as a general."

"Should I now call you 'Boss Yao'?"

"I don't deserve such a title. I've simply been more fortunate in terms of wealth, which has made people more prosperous, and that's why I have this title."

Cheng Xiao joked:

"I don't think so. You are too modest. The people of Yuque all regard you as the God of Wealth, and they respect and admire you. In addition, you resolve crises and bring good omens through divination, so you are also regarded as the God of Fortune. In terms of development, Jingyuan is not as good as you."

Cheng Xiao was right about this. Yao Guang is now a bona fide capitalist, a nouveau riche, and a wealthy man!

She wouldn't let any business opportunity slip by.

"Mr. Chengxiao, have you come to the Jade Palace with some important business?"

"No, I just came here to pay a visit, keep Kunling company, and see an old friend. I will visit Jingtian Taibu and General Fuguang later."

"Oh? Then why did Mr. Chengxiao come to see Kungang-kun first? And judging from the desserts you're carrying, you must have come prepared."

Cheng Xiao explained the details somewhat embarrassedly, and Yao Guang's expression turned serious.

"This is a very important matter."

Then an abacus appeared in Yao Guang's hand, and she used her slender fingertips to manipulate the chips and calculate the data.

Cheng Xiao was puzzled.

"Since the Third Abundant War, you have not visited the Jade Palace. Considering the time and emotional loss suffered by Kungang-kun, you should spend at least ten years and three months with her as compensation."

"ten years?!"

"No, that's not enough."

A calm voice rang out; it was Kunling in Cheng Xiao's arms.

At this moment, Kunling had regained its intelligent state and said calmly:

"If you add up all the compensation—including emotional distress, companionship, food, massage, and rest—it would take 30 years for Xiao De to accompany me."

Yao Guang: "Thirty? Really?"

"right!"

"Okay! Thirty it is!"

Cheng Xiao: "Didn't anyone ask for my opinion?!"

"Is Mr. Cheng Xiao unwilling?"

"Now that I'm on the Star Train, how could I possibly stay in the Jade Palace for thirty years?"

"It's alright. We'll treat the Dragon Lord's annual fee as 1 billion, and Mr. Cheng Xiao, you'll contribute 30 billion for patrols, and this matter will be considered settled."

"Three hundred billion?! I might as well sell myself!"

Cheng Xiao was just joking, but Yao Guang kindly took out a voice recorder.

"Good! Mr. Cheng Xiao is indeed straightforward!"

Yao Guang said no more, bowed slightly to Cheng Xiao, and then quickly left.

Is that all? It sounds like a lot of noise but little action.

Cheng Xiao couldn't figure it out, and was too lazy to think about it anymore. Could Yao Guang possibly come up with some new and interesting tricks?

The current focus is on calming Kunling down.

Looking at the calm and wise Kunling in front of him, Cheng Xiao knew that this matter was not so easy to fool.

"Kunling, what are your thoughts about me?"

Cheng Xiao wanted to struggle a little longer.

Kunling: "We'll be together forever, and then we'll lay lots and lots of eggs."

Okay, Cheng Xiao gave up the struggle.

"I promise you. I will always be with you. No matter what state Kunling is in, she will always be the same person to me. From now on, you can rely on me without any worries."

The usually composed Kunling blushed deeply at this direct question, her face turning as red as blood, and even her head seemed to be steaming as if water were boiling.

Kunling gave up thinking again.

......

Yao Guang entered a craft shop and waved his hand dismissively:

"Bring out all those products; we can prepare for their release and sale."

A craftsman asked curiously:

"Boss Yao, you really succeeded?"

"Heh, with me in charge, is there anything I can't do?"

"Boss Yao is awesome! I never thought he could even win over Lord Cheng Xiao!"

Yao Guang accepted the flattery with satisfaction. Cheng Xiao's influence was now second only to Di Gong Siming, so anything even remotely related to him could naturally involve countless interests.

"Cheng Xiao, you're too old, take your time. I'll take this round first~"

Yao Guang hummed a little tune happily, preparing to have his fortune told.

But when the fortune slip appeared, Yao Guang's brows immediately furrowed.
