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

Returning to the Fanghu Immortal Boat, Cheng Xiao's feelings were still somewhat complicated.

After all, it was here that Bai Lu activated the reproductive power within her body.

Moreover, the general of Fanghu Immortal Boat, Lord Xuanquan of Huyuan, launched the most ardent offensive against Cheng Xiao.

The mighty ice dragon is as fierce as fire.

Cheng Xiao spent the least amount of time with her, but he was the most afraid of her.

Because this dragon had been eyeing him from the very beginning!

As expected, Xuan Quan was not kept in the dark about Cheng Xiao's arrival.

It's likely that the Dragon Lord's internal network had already made prior arrangements.

"Welcome back to Fanghu. It has been decades since the Third Abundant War."

"Nonsense! I've been in constant contact with you all along!"

"Keeping in touch and meeting in person are two different things, Cheng Xiao, you can't confuse the two."

After the formal greeting, Xuan Quan invited Cheng Xiao to talk in the reception room.

Of course, as always, I brewed tea for Cheng Xiao that had been laced with medicine.

"You know that drugs don't work on me, so don't try it next time. Don't let this powder ruin the taste of this fine tea."

"That won't do. We have to try. What if it works someday? Fanghu's Dan Ding Division is currently fully dedicated to making sleeping potions. Just one sip of this tea can knock out an ancient beast for half a day."

"Really? I'll try it."

Under Xuan Quan's expectant gaze, Cheng Xiao drank the tea in one gulp.

"Why does this medicine smell like strawberries?"

"To add flavor to the tea, so it doesn't taste bad and affect the flavor."

Five minutes passed, and Cheng Xiao was completely unharmed, looking calm and composed.

Xuan Quan was somewhat disappointed, and poured Cheng Xiao another full cup:

"It seems we can't succeed this time. You're something else. We'll just have to wait for next time."

"By the way, what brings you to Fanghu? And you came alone?"

Cheng Xiao took a sip of tea and said calmly:

I came for you.

"I see, you came for me. Then I'll..."

Xuan Quan froze instantly as he poured the tea, completely unaware that the tea had already overflowed from the cup.

It took about a minute for Xuanquan's brain to restart.

"You've come for me? Do you have something to ask of me?"

"No, I'm here to confirm your feelings for me. If you do, I'll give you my promise; if not, we'll just be friends."

Xuan Quan was the last of the five Dragon Lords to meet Cheng Xiao, and also the one with the least contact time.

Cheng Xiao still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that maybe Xuan Quan was just joking, or perhaps she didn't actually have that much affection for him.

Xuanquan's dragon tail swayed excitedly, and she couldn't help but hum softly.

"Cheng Xiao, are you joking at this moment? Do I need to ask about my feelings? Don't try to escape. In this life and the next, you are the husband I, Xuan Quan, have personally chosen!"

Cheng Xiao swallowed hard. Despite being an extremely cold woman, she exuded an incredibly intense aura.

"I understand, but I still want to know why you have these feelings."

Xuan Quan took a deep breath, the icy frost rising and falling with each breath.

"If we were to meet for the first time, your dragon-human appearance goes without saying, doesn't it? Consider the impact your fox-human form had on Yao Qing; by the same token, how can we, the Vidyadharas, possibly control the instincts deep within our genes?"

"This instinctive desire makes me crave you in an unimaginable way!"

Xuan Quan clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hold Cheng Xiao tightly in his palm.

"But as you said, it was instinct, my desire to alleviate the cycle of reincarnation that has lasted for thousands of years, and there was really not much affection involved."

"But your existence is already imprinted in my heart. This instinct has subtly influenced my thoughts, making my feelings for you grow stronger! What truly made me certain of my feelings was the Third Abundance War that threatened Fanghu!"

"Although the victory in the war was due to the concerted efforts of everyone, in my eyes, Fang Hu has found someone to rely on, and I, as a general, have found someone to depend on, and that is you."

"Since that's the case, why should I resist the itch that keeps nagging at me? Accept it! Acknowledge it! Mix that instinct and emotion together, and let it become the desire to devour you!"

Xuan Quan stood up forcefully, revealing the domineering aura of the Dragon Lord.

"Now, what about your promise?!"

Cheng Xiao calmly sipped his tea, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

"My promise is... I will take responsibility for your feelings."

Xuan Quan licked his dry lips and straddled Cheng Xiao's lap.

"So, in other words, I don't need to endure this anymore, right? I don't need to use those methods anymore; you'll accept me, won't you!"

"right."

Xuan Quan's body trembled violently.

The feeling of having one's feelings responded to so directly is simply blissful!

"It's getting late, Elbow, let's go inside and rest."

"It's broad daylight, you fat woman, stop thinking about those things all day long!"

Cheng Xiao rewarded Xuan Quan with a two-finger Zen move and comforted him, saying:

"I agree to accept you, but that doesn't mean I'll grant your wish right now. At least... we need to be a bit more formal. The journey on the Star Train isn't over yet, so let me indulge myself for a while."

"Of course, I'm a reasonable person, but how about we collect a deposit first?"

"Whatever... Ugh!!!"

......

After leaving Fanghu, Cheng Xiao's mouth was still a little dry, and he felt as if his entire oral cavity had been frozen.

Xuan Quan truly lived up to his reputation as the most noble Dragon Lord; he was more domineering than he had imagined, but also more rational.

Having successfully navigated Xuan Quan's ordeal, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

But the final level is where the real fun begins!

Yaoqing, this magical place, is where Cheng Xiao suffered throughout his life.

Ji Ting should be easy to deal with, but once he enters Yao Qing, he'll be targeted by those foxes, and they might have to pull some tricks on him.

Let's finish this quickly!

Riding the swift wind, they traversed the vast distances of the universe and arrived at the familiar Azure Immortal Ship.

Quietly arriving at the territory of the Chiming tribe, Ji Ting, dressed in military attire, was found meditating and practicing.

Cheng Xiao was very satisfied. Ji Ting, as the Heavenly Wind Lord, was indeed a military general. He had always maintained his cultivation and fought on the front lines. Even now that they had entered a peaceful era, he had not relaxed.

Cheng Xiao hid in the shadows, observing Ji Ting's cultivation, intending to give her a surprise.

Before he could make a move, Ji Ting awoke from his meditation and slowly stood up.

"The training is over, it's time to rest."

Ji Ting then walked into a secret room, and Cheng Xiao did not follow.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Xiao used his X-ray vision to see through the wall and get a clear view of the situation inside the secret room.

The entire secret room was filled with things related to riding a horse.

Cheng Xiao's daily photos covered all four walls, and there were countless figurines and dolls in Cheng Xiao's likeness displayed everywhere!

Ji Ting lay on the bed, pretending to sleep, holding a few of Cheng Xiao's old clothes.

"..."

As expected of a military general, he really has some nerve.

He's supposed to be a cool and cute guy, so why does he act so pervertedly?
