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

The victory celebration banquet was held in the military camp, where the officers and soldiers drank and chatted, creating a lively atmosphere.

Inside the main tent, Yunshang Wuxiao and Tengxiao were toasting to celebrate their great victory.

"Yay! We won! Hehe, so what if he's a sudden gust of wind? So what if he's the Envoy of Abundance? He's no match for us!"

Bai Heng stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug.

"Aren't you being a little too arrogant?" Danfeng said helplessly. This silly fox really didn't know how powerful she could be in an instant.

"Hahaha, good! That's spirited! This is the confidence our Cloud Cavalry should have—daring to draw our swords even against the most powerful enemy!"

Teng Xiao greatly admired Bai Heng's attitude.

"General, having confidence is a good thing, but acting recklessly without considering the difference in strength is impulsive," Jing Yuan commented.

"Hahaha, Jingyuan's words make sense!"

Ying Xing teased, "Jing Yuan, you've got a whole set of theories to back it up. I wonder if you're planning to take over General Teng Xiao's position? You know, that general's position was originally reserved for Jing Liu."

"Oh... how could that be? I wouldn't dare! Don't slander me."

"It's alright, Jingyuan is indeed more suitable for the position of general." Jingliu, who was sitting upright, stated his opinion directly.

"Oh? Jingliu is no longer going to be a general?" Danfeng found it all quite intriguing.

"Of course, everyone here knows the memories. General Jingyuan did a good job. Under his rule, Luofu is stable and prosperous. If I were to do it, I wouldn't have the confidence to do it to that extent."

Teng Xiao praised, "Jing Liu's words are true. After I retired from the other world, Jing Yuan arranged Luo Fu in an orderly manner. Indeed, management is best left to people with quick minds like you."

Jing Liu took a sip of tea, relaxed and composed: "Besides, the general is indeed very busy. If he is entangled in mundane affairs, he will not be able to spend time with A Xiao day and night."

That's the main reason!

While everyone was internally complaining, they also began to fantasize about the wonderful days to come. With Chengxiao by their side, what would they have to fear from enemies?

Many forces have already been testing the waters, and Teng Xiao plans to fleece them.

Everyone had their own agenda, thinking that after the banquet they would invite Cheng Xiao to go sightseeing according to their own plans.

As he pondered, Cheng Xiao lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Everyone's drinking, aren't they?" Cheng Xiao forced a smile.

"Xiaolang~ You're here! Honestly, everyone's celebrating, why are you running around all by yourself?" Bai Heng waved happily, wanting Cheng Xiao to sit next to her.

"Ah Xiao, come over here, everyone's waiting for you to start the feast." Jing Liu stood up and pulled Cheng Xiao to his side.

Yingxing arranged the seating, Jingyuan brought out the delicacies, and Danfeng leaned against Chengxiao to fill a glass of fine wine for him.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, Cheng Xiao and the others exchanged toasts several times before finally getting down to business:

"I have something to say..."

"What's up~ Oh right, Xiaolang, do you want to go racing with us~" Bai Heng said coquettishly.

"No, Cheng Xiao must cooperate with me in researching and improving the Dragon Transformation Technique." Dan Feng crossed his arms and solemnly refused.

"Yes, I also need to make a whole set of accessories for Cheng Xiao to wear. He has to come with me to the forge so I can measure his body size," Ying Xing also stated his request.

"Actually, I still have many questions I want to ask my senior uncle." Jing Yuan held a small notebook in his hand, which contained various "interesting" topics.

"Put your business aside for now. Ah Xiao needs to stay with me first. Chang Le Tian's courtyard needs to be renovated."

Jingliu remained calm, yet her expression held an undeniable air of authority; she and Chengxiao had to complete the construction of their love nest.

Bai Heng: "Oh dear, Jing Liu is really tough."

Jingyuan: "Master is as domineering as ever."

Danfeng: "Hmph! Why should I listen to you? It's up to Chengxiao to decide who to make an appointment with first."

Yingxing: "That's right, we have to respect Xiao's idea."

Bai Heng exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Lang, what were you about to say just now?"

Cheng Xiao: "I'm leaving now, returning to my own world, to find my own Five Heroes of the Clouds."

Bai Heng: "?"

Ying Xing: "?"

Danfeng: "?"

Jingyuan: "?"

Mirror Flow: "?"

Teng Xiao: "<(ºOº)>"

Cheng Xiao, isn't your last words a little too short?

In an instant, after Cheng Xiao uttered these words, the temperature inside the entire tent immediately dropped to freezing.

Thick, dark clouds filled the air, and the low, oppressive atmosphere made it impossible for even a mosquito to survive. Even Teng Xiao felt the pressure of breathing.

Jingliu: "Huh? Ah Xiao, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Cheng Xiao took a deep breath and explained his reasons:

"I came here to protect you from sudden calamity, and now that it's all over, it's time for me to leave."

A pair of hands immediately wrapped around Cheng Xiao's waist like sticky tentacles. Jing Liu raised his head and looked at Cheng Xiao's profile, his blood-red eyes devoid of any light.

"Leave? At this moment? Ah Xiao, stop making fun of me. You'll stay here, won't you?"

"No, I can say with certainty that I must leave."

boom--!

The dense air pressure burst open like a punctured balloon, and the five heroes on the cloud stared at Cheng Xiao.

"Do you really have to leave?" Yingxing asked.

Yes, definitely.

"Don't leave! You still have a lot of things to do with us. Forget about the other five elites on the cloud, being with us is just as good!" Danfeng said in shock and anger.

"Uncle-Master, the Immortal Ship still has a lot of trouble to deal with caused by the sudden chaos. Those major forces are all investigating the source of the power of balance. You can't just leave like this." Jing Yuan tried to persuade Cheng Xiao to stay.

"No, no, Xiaolang, don't go! You can touch my tail, you can touch my ears, I don't want you to leave~" Bai Heng immediately started using the art of coquetry.

But Cheng Xiao remained unmoved, showing no sign of softening his heart.

Finally, Jingliu took a deep look at Chengxiao and let out a long sigh:

"Then... will you come back?"

"Yes, and I guarantee it," Cheng Xiao said firmly.

"Okay, you can go now."

"Mirror Flow!" Bai Heng exclaimed in alarm. How come you, the most possessive guy, surrendered first!

Ignoring Bai Heng's surprise, Jing Liu chuckled:

"I can let you go, and I can accept the temporary absence of you in my life, but I cannot bear to lose you forever. Since you've promised to return, what reason do I have to keep you here?"

Cheng Xiao was deeply moved. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

He solemnly addressed everyone, saying, "I assure you, my absence will not be long. Once I have settled things over there, I will definitely come back to find you!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, revealing helpless smiles.

"Since you've said that, what else can I say? If I keep pestering you, it'll just make me look petty." Danfeng shrugged.

Ying Xing and Jing Yuan shared the same thought, leaving only Bai Heng looking dissatisfied.

"You lot, you're just surrendering like that? Damn it, we...we are...Hmph! Fine then, Xiaolang, you can go. But if you don't come back, this fox will find you even if it breaks through the world's barriers!"

Cheng Xiao was both amused and exasperated, but nodded very seriously.
