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

At the end of the new week, Danfeng once again took advantage of the holiday to visit Chengxiao's house.

But things didn't go as planned; no one was home in the entire courtyard.

"Honestly! Where did that guy go? Didn't he know I was coming to find him? He didn't even wait for me!"

Danfeng complained sullenly, then skillfully scaled the wall and jumped into the yard.

"Hehe, I'll give him a surprise when he gets back!"

Danfeng excitedly entered the house, only to find that the chirping chicks were gone from the chicken coop.

"Um?"

Danfeng sensed something was wrong. There was some dust in the room, not thick, but it meant it hadn't been cleaned for a while.

If Cheng Xiao were here, the family would never be like this.

The uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger, so Danfeng quickly went to find Niqing.

"Where's Yu Zhao? Quickly use Yu Zhao to contact Cheng Xiao!"

Ni Qing, who always obeyed orders, shook her head:

"My Lady Dragon Girl, you don't need to look anymore, Mr. Cheng Xiao is no longer here."

"What...what does this mean?! Explain yourself!"

Ni Qing first took out a letter and handed it to Dan Feng.

"This was left to you by Mr. Cheng Xiao. In fact, he left this Monday."

"The situation at the front is critical, and Mr. Cheng Xiao, as a military doctor, must go to war with the army."

"As for when he will return... he didn't say for sure."

After hearing this, Danfeng stared blankly, seemingly unable to believe it.

After a moment, she said angrily:

"What are all those physicians in the Pill Refining Division doing?! Why was Cheng Xiao sent to the front lines?! Don't they know how dangerous the front lines are?!"

"If anything happens to him... I... I can't! I have to go too!"

Ni Qing quickly pulled Dan Feng back from his irrational state.

"My Lady Dragon Girl! Please don't be impulsive! You are a young fish, and the front lines are where the real dangers lie! Mr. Cheng Xiao possesses extraordinary martial arts skills and is merely a military medic; he won't need to directly confront the enemy, so he'll be fine!"

"Let go! I can't accept this! I want to find General Teng Xiao! I want to bring Cheng Xiao back!"

"General Teng Xiao has already rushed to the front lines. This time, the Fengrao army has launched a large-scale invasion, making the military situation extremely urgent!"

No matter how much Danfeng struggled, Niqing refused to let go.

She seemed to have anticipated Danfeng's performance and could only offer words of comfort:

"My Lady Dragon Girl, Mr. Cheng Xiao has sent you a letter. Please open it and take a look!"

These words had an effect; Danfeng gradually stopped arguing and gently opened the letter in her hand.

[To my friend Danfeng: It's holiday again!]

Even at the very beginning, Danfeng couldn't help but smile.

[It's true what they say, bad luck strikes, and the weather is unpredictable. This era is chaotic, and it's impossible to foresee when war will break out.]

"I am a disciple of the Sword Master and a renowned physician of the Pill Refining Division, so I must go to the front lines to contribute my efforts. This is a responsibility I cannot shirk."

Sorry, I said I'd train you, but it looks like I'll have to wait a bit. As for how long, I don't know. Isn't that irresponsible of me? Are you going to kill me?

"Don't worry, you little girl who can't even handle a gun properly, yet you think you can defeat me? Hahaha! Don't fret, I've seen countless battles before; this time I'm just going to spread the spirit of the hunt."

【You're still too young to be of any help. Wait until you grow up and become the capable Lord Yinyue, then all the Cloud Cavalry will have to rely on your strength on the battlefield!】

I won't ramble on this time, lest you find me annoying again. See you another day~

[Written by Cheng Xiao himself, to Danfeng.]

Danfeng read the letter carefully. It wasn't long, but it took her a long time to finish reading it.

"No wonder you were so obedient last time, and even said so much..."

Danfeng murmured softly, seemingly lost in memories.

"Lady Dragon Girl?"

Ni Qing's voice woke her up, and Dan Feng's eyes refocused.

"That jerk... left me all alone in Luofu, all by myself..."

Only now did Danfeng truly accept the fact that Chengxiao had left. For some reason, Danfeng felt extremely lonely and isolated.

This loneliness brought a sense of panic, and Danfeng even wanted to lock himself in the house.

"My Lady Dragon Girl, there are many things you cannot consider right now. Your responsibility is to grow up healthy and lead our Vidyadhara Clan!"

Danfeng took a deep breath and put the letter in his pocket.

"Ni Qing, if I were strong enough, could I control other people's destinies?"

"In a sense, that's true; in the end, the strong rule this world."

"Very good! I'm going back to my clan's territory to cultivate in seclusion! I will not come out until I have mastered the Cloud Chanting Technique!"

Danfeng's eyes were filled with a kind of obsession, his gaze so deep it seemed like he wanted to devour someone!

"Once I accept the title of 'Lord of the Moon', once I'm old enough to fight on the battlefield! If Cheng Xiao still dares to leave my sight... I'll break his legs! And imprison him forever in the Dragon Palace of the Vidyadhara Clan!"

Ni Qing was startled by the black aura emanating from Dan Feng, and could only secretly mourn for Cheng Xiao in her heart.

[It seems that Mr. Cheng Xiao has... awakened an extraordinary attribute in Lady Dragon Girl...]

Danfeng's face was cold; only those she cared about could see her true emotions.

"Ni Qing, check how much Cheng Xiao's house costs. I want to buy it!"

"Lady Dragon Girl, this villa belongs to Lord Sword Master Yao Feng. He bought it four hundred years ago for seven hundred thousand patrol coins."

"Then tell Sword Master! I want this house! I want a share of everything Cheng Xiao owns!"

"Yes! I'll contact the person in charge at the Land Balance Bureau right away!"

At this moment, Yao Feng, far away on the Jade Palace Immortal Ship, was enjoying fine wine and food. Although battles were frequent on the front lines, the Jade Palace's Grand Diviner Jing Tian still refused to release him.

Yao Feng has the strength but nowhere to use it.

She had originally hoped to have the chance to fight alongside her apprentice, after all, she was almost eight hundred years old, and she didn't know if she would have that opportunity again.

Just as Yao Feng was pondering what to eat, drink, and do for fun today, a message reached her Yu Zhao.

"Holy crap! Who transferred my house? Could it be that brat Cheng Xiao is trying to run away with the money?!"

Before Yao Feng could vent her anger for long, staff from the Jade Palace's Earth Balance Division came to her.

"Sir Yaofeng, we apologize for disturbing you. We are here to report the transfer certificate of the property under your name."

"What kind of bullshit transfer is this! I didn't agree to it! What right do you have to act first and ask for permission later? Do you think my sword is useless?"

A gleaming sword was held to the neck of the staff member, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"You've misunderstood. A big shot from Luofu took a liking to your house and wanted to buy it. Because the offer was very generous, we transferred the property ahead of schedule."

"Huh? My apprentices still need to live in my house! I'm not selling it to anyone!"

"The buyer offered three million for patrol cars."

"make a deal!!!"

Staff member: "..."

Yao Feng quickly signed the contract without any hesitation.

"Six hundred thousand for three million! Hahaha! Anyone who doesn't sell is a fool! As for my two good apprentices, young people should work harder! They'll have to figure it out themselves!"

Yao Feng's integrity as the sword master has been completely shattered.

—Yaofeng: This is my retirement money!!!

(Author's note: Fox thinks the Five Heroes of the Clouds are so delicious ლ(´ڡ`ლ), don't you all think that the five people are five completely different types of beauties?)

Jingliu: A cool and elegant yet ruthless fairy, a decisive and aloof swordsman who yearns for warmth.

Danfeng: "A noble, elegant, aloof, and domineering cold-faced dragon lord, but in reality, he is an extremely arrogant and sickly beauty who is afraid of loneliness."

Bai Heng: A mischievous, cute, and adventurous super pilot and sunny fox who always exudes positive energy, is brave and fearless, and is always accompanied by good luck.

Yingxing: A gentle, reliable, strong, and persevering mature woman who, while harboring the inferiority complex of a short-lived species, wants to prove herself, and is also full of ambition and goals.

Jing Yuan: A quirky, resourceful, and cunning young woman with a strong sense of the big picture. After growing up to become a general, she becomes an intelligent and beautiful woman who keeps trying to trick the protagonist.

They all have one thing in common: they are both extremely, extremely, extremely subservient women!!!
