I was the one who was causing the collapse of the iron.

But now Xu Nuo is no longer just achieving his goal in one step, but soaring into the sky.

"That's right. As an unknown guest, Bai Heng must have experienced countless novel adventures and visited countless strange planets. Not to mention you, even I often yearn to hear her talk about her travels in the starry sea."

"She always has endless new stories to tell. She is very attentive to everything and always very optimistic no matter what setbacks she encounters. People around her will be influenced by her without realizing it."

Jing Liu gives people the impression of being a cold and taciturn ice beauty, but when she talks about Bai Heng, she becomes quite talkative.

Xu Nuo couldn't see it. If he could see it, he would definitely notice that there was light in Jing Liu's eyes and an indescribable emotion.

"You two have a really good relationship."

"People in Xianzhou enjoy a lifespan of thousands of years, but in the face of the ruthless time, they are all so thin and fragile. It is indeed a rare blessing to have a few good friends to accompany you. She and them are my few friends."

"The Five Heroes of the Cloud, right? I wonder who the other three are."

In the previous conversation with Bai Heng, Xu Nuo also heard the fox girl talk about the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, or to put it another way, the protagonists of the many stories she talked about were always these five people.

According to his understanding, the Five Heroes on the Clouds were probably equivalent to a list of famous Jianghu knights, just like Jingliu's title Wuxian Feiguang, which was given by other nosy people.

Jing Liu was not interested in this title, but Bai Heng liked it very much. Over time, the five of them tacitly accepted this title.

"Among the other three, one is my apprentice, named Jing Yuan. He has become a brave guard of the Cloud Cavalry Army at a young age, which is not in vain for my recommendation. Another one is the Dragon Master of the Ming Dynasty, the famous Lord of Drinking the Moon, Dan Feng. As for the last one, there is nothing special about him. He is just a small craftsman, a short-lived person like you, but he is as arrogant as you."

When mentioning the last person, Jingliu was obviously a little biased. Not only did he not say his name, but his words also carried a hint of disdain.

But after she finished speaking, the woman seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.

"No, compared to that little guy, you are more arrogant."

"Should I feel happy or proud to be recognized by you, Sister Jingliu?"

"If you keep calling me big sister..."

"You always talk about puppies, oh, I understand, you actually like me..."

"Insanity!"

Not understanding what Xu Nuo wanted to say, Jing Liu interrupted the man with some embarrassment.

The woman's pretty face turned slightly red, and she covered her chest with one hand, feeling the remaining teeth marks on her chest starting to hurt again.

This little dog is indeed more annoying than Ying Xing, more than ten times more annoying.

"Oh my, how come you two started arguing after I was gone for a while. What's wrong with calling her Big Sister? It's very nice. But Jingliu, how can you keep calling others little dog? It's so rude."

"And how can Ying Xing be so arrogant? Although he is only a short-lived species, many long-lived species would be ashamed of him in terms of his achievements! The weapons he made are far beyond the reach of many craftsmen in the Gongzao Division, and he even won the title of "Bai Ye" awarded to the head of the Gongzao Division. If he were not a foreigner, he might be the next head of the Gongzao Division."

Hearing the noise inside the house, Bai Heng also walked in from outside the courtyard. She introduced the achievements of the last of the Five Warriors of Yunshang, and her words clearly showed that she felt sorry for her best friend.

"Sister Bai Heng, Sister Jing Liu hates me, or... I'd better move out. I will go far away, begging or sleeping on the street, but I will never appear in front of Sister Jing Liu again and dirty her eyes."

The aggrieved expression and the slightly crying voice, children's bodies are indeed very convenient, and they can act pitiful and cute without restraint.

Because children speak without restraint, what they say can be even more hurtful.

At least Jing Liu couldn't help but clench his fists, and his silver teeth were almost broken.

Especially when he saw Bai Heng approaching without any defense and hugging Xu Nuo in his arms. Seeing the man's face buried in his friend's chest, rubbing against him in an obscene way, Jing Liu felt his chest aching.

She took back her previous comment. This brat was a hundred times more annoying than Ying Xing. No, it should be a thousand times!

"How could that be? Your sister Jingliu has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is actually a very nice person. When you were unconscious yesterday, she was the one who took care of you. She was also the one who took the initiative to take you back to her home. How could she dislike you?"

"But... isn't this a bit inappropriate? I am just a foreigner. How can I live under the same roof with the honorable Luofu Sword Master? Or even... share a bed with him?"

"It's just a cure. Sister Jingliu doesn't care, so why should you care? You, don't feel inferior because of your short-lived identity. There are many geniuses in the genius club who passed away in just a few decades! Their achievements are still world-shaking. What does living a long or short life have to do with a person's achievements? As long as you focus on the career you want to do, whether you succeed or not is up to fate."

"I want to be someone who is qualified to share a bed with Sister Jingliu. Is this also possible?"

You will die if you don't emphasize the words "sharing the same bed", right? Jing Liu's eyes became colder and colder, but unfortunately Xu Nuo was blind and didn't get it at all.

"Then you have to work hard, little brother. I don't know how many people in the whole Xianzhou regard your sister Jingliu as the white moonlight in their hearts. It is very difficult to become a man who can match your sister Jingliu."

What a romantic story about an ignorant boy who meets a cool and aloof swordsman, and then falls in love at first sight, and falls in love with him forever.

Thinking of the many popular storybooks and fantasy plays in Xianzhou, Bai Heng suppressed his inner excitement and his eyes became bright.

Chapter 14: Protecting His Lifetime of Peace and Happiness

Jing Liu pulled Bai Heng, who was obviously a little too excited, out of the house. It was obvious that if she continued chatting with Xu Nuo like this, she would start naming her and Xu Nuo's future child again.

"Tell me the truth, have you been to see any strange fantasy shows recently?"

"Hey, did Jingliu also go to see it? There's a new fantasy drama that's super popular recently. It tells the story of a fairy in distress being rescued by a poor boy from a mountain village. The two of them fall in love with each other as they spend time together day and night. However, the love between a mortal who can't practice and a fairy who is high above, a short-lived species and an immortal species, is bound to encounter many obstacles!"

Jing showed an expression that I knew, and she continued to speak with her hands folded.

"Let me ask you, what is the ending of the story?"

"The ending is naturally that the lovers finally get married, but it's a pity that a hundred years later, the young man has turned into a pile of yellow earth, and the fairy has also sealed her heart and locked up her love, escaping into the mountains and never seen again."

Bai Heng sighed and looked full of emotion, while Jing Liu couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. What the hell was going on?

"Watch less weird stuff like this, you'll become a fool. And why are you talking to Xu Nuo about these things? Don't give him unrealistic fantasies. He...he's just a child, this will only hurt him."

God knows how much effort Jingliu made to convince himself to say such words against his will.

What else could she do? Tell Bai Heng that this little dog is very bad and everything he shows and says in front of you is fake and a disguise?

Or was he trying to hint to Bai Heng that being young does not mean being innocent, and that the words of a precocious kid like Xu Nuo, who had a miserable childhood, could not be trusted.

It is so degrading to speak ill of a child openly or secretly like this.

"What's wrong with the child? Or maybe it's because of the child that we should set up lofty ambitions, so that we can get out of the tragic experience as soon as possible. Little Xu Nuo is as miserable as Ying Xing was back then. No, it should be said that he is even more miserable than Ying Xing. Although Ying Xing has a blood feud, at least he is in good health, while little Xu Nuo himself doesn't know if he can live through tomorrow."

"Ying Xing is working hard to forge weapons and avenge his parents. What are you teaching him? Are you teaching him how...how to fall in love?"

It was too embarrassing to flirt with me like this, and Jingliu couldn't bring himself to say it.

"So, the situations are different. Xiao Xu Nuo still needs a spiritual support in his current situation. The doctor at Dan Ding Division also said that compared to physical illness, mental illness is also particularly important. A healthy and positive mentality can help him recover better."

"That doesn't have to be me."

Jing Liu sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.

"I also want to be this sustenance. Obviously, I was the first person that Xiao Xu Nuo saw when he opened his eyes, but who knew that he would still be thinking about you? I can't help it, I can only say that you are too charming, Jingliu. Speaking of which, I am a little envious. I have never slept naked with Jingliu like this."

"Don't make fun of me anymore. I already told you it was just a helpless act. I was saving his life."

"Just kidding, just kidding, don't worry, I will definitely not tell Jing Yuan and the others about this!"

"If they know, they know. For me, it's just sleeping with a puppy. Is there anything strange about sleeping with your pet? There's nothing to worry about or be taboo about."

"So, stop talking about puppies. Then what am I? A little fox. Xiao Xu Nuo already has low self-esteem. If you keep belittling him like this, it will have an impact on his psychology."

Inferiority complex? How come I didn't see it? When that boy touched me, I didn't see that he had any inferiority complex.

Jingliu complained in his heart, and then corrected one of Bai Heng's mistakes.

"In fact, it is best for him to let the outside world know that he is just a puppy I raise and is insignificant to me. Paying too much attention to him will attract many people's attention, which will harm him instead."

After Jing Liu said this, Bai Heng also understood the reason.

As the leader of Luofu Sword, every move of the other party is a big deal to the entire Luofu Immortal Boat.

Jing Yuan, her apprentice, grew up under the watchful eyes of many people. Now he has become Yunqijun's brave guard and a member of their Yunshang Five Braves.

Naturally, this attention can be good or bad, well-intentioned or malicious.

The jealous ones insulted and slandered Jingyuan, thinking that he was able to rise to prominence only because of Jingliu's connections and relationships.

The boasting and praise of busybodies can easily lead to flattery, and if a person is not determined, he is likely to get lost in it.

Jing Yuan was born into a family of Dihengsi, and he was determined and worked hard to achieve what he has today. But Xu Nuo was just a foreigner, and it was not a good thing to praise him too much.

Even Ying Xing, who was also a foreigner, had to escape from his hometown to Zhu Ming Xian Zhou after a life-threatening experience. He then experienced numerous obstacles and tests before he was able to stay in Zhu Ming Xian Zhou to learn skills. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was accepted as an apprentice by General Huai Yan.

But Xu Nuo, if he was adopted directly by Jing Liu, all this would be too simple and easy.

Seeing Bai Heng lost in thought, Jing Liu continued speaking.

"Besides, it is still unclear who those who committed the crime are and what their sacrifice means. If I publicly express my protection for this child, they will definitely be afraid and dare not act rashly again. But if I pretend that I don't care about this child, then they will definitely look for an opportunity to attack again."

"When everything is over, we will be able to see what kind of person this child is. If he is really a talented person, I don't recommend accepting him. If his character is not worth cultivating, then keeping him around us will only harm him."

"Sister Jingliu is really thoughtful. I am still too naive."

Bai Heng sighed, things were indeed not as simple as she thought.

"Being kind is not a bad thing, but it depends on the situation. No matter what the final result is, I will protect him and make him happy and safe throughout his life."

At the same time, Xu Nuo, who was lying on the bed in the house, didn't know that Bai Heng and Jing Liu had already decided his future and life in the courtyard outside.

For the immortal species, a hundred years for the short-lived species is just a small proportion of their life scale.

The emotions invested in the relationship between the immortal species and the short-lived species are destined to be a tragedy with no outcome.

Chapter 15 Cloud Five Gathering

"Come to think of it, what are you doing out there? Are you planning to have a party at my place?"

Noticing the layout of the courtyard, Jingliu spoke with some curiosity.

"Yes, we haven't had a gathering for a long time. This is a rare opportunity, so why not get together? And I have a feeling that the mastermind behind this incident is not an ordinary person. For such a big case, how can we, the Five Heroes of the Cloud, not show off our skills!"

Jing Liu didn't say anything, just stared at Bai Heng. His crimson eyes seemed particularly oppressive. After a long while, the fox girl couldn't stand it anymore and laughed awkwardly while scratching her head.

"Sorry, sorry. When I left, I secretly informed Jing Yuan and the others. They may be here soon."

"I knew it……"

Jing Liu sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

"It's okay. I'll tell them when they get here. I just wanted to get everyone together, so I deliberately used this news to scare them. I'm very tight-lipped and I won't say anything."

"I've already said that I don't care. And do you think they are the same as you, with all kinds of weird ideas in their heads? This is a rare opportunity, so it's good to get together. It's been a long time since we've gotten together."

"That's right. Everyone is busy here. What are they so busy about? They don't even have time to get together. I have two bottles of fine wine from my collection. Let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"

"Oh, is that the kind of wine you've been reluctant to take out?"

Hearing that there was wine to drink, Jing Liu's eyes lit up slightly, and the whole person suddenly became energetic. Many people would not have thought that Jing Liu, who looked cold and arrogant, like a fairy in the moon palace, was actually a complete alcohol addict, and would go crazy after drinking too much, and no one could stop him.

"Yes, it's the fruit wine from Fine Wine Star that you've been dreaming about. It's the last of my stock. Once I finish it, there will be no more."

As Bai Heng said this, a painful expression appeared on his face.

"Fine wine is meant to be drunk, right? At worst, I can go to that planet with you when we have the chance and buy a few more cases."

"Really? It's a deal!"

After making an agreement with Jingliu, Bai Heng's mood became particularly happy.

The fox girl continued to set up the venue for the party, while Jingliu went into the inner room.

Hearing the noise, Xu Nuo raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him with his lifeless eyes.

"If you want to vent your anger, please be gentle. After all, I am still a patient. Ahem."

"I didn't say anything and I held my breath, so how did you know it was mine?"

Jing Liu looked at the young man lying on the bed with great interest. The other party now looked quite honest and cute, and much more pleasing to the eye.

However, when she thought that all this might be a deliberate disguise by the other party, her mood became less good.

"It's very simple. Even if I were to guess, there is a 50% chance that it's correct. Of course, if it was Sister Bai Heng, she would definitely shout when she entered the room, but now it's so quiet, so it can only be Sister Jing Liu."

"Just try to be clever."

Jingliu shook his head. He originally thought that Xu Nuo had a good perception ability and might be a good material for martial arts.

But in her hands, even a smelly and hard stone can be polished into a good piece of material.

Thinking of this, Jingliu also began to look at Xu Nuo's body.

Although he looks a little thin now, with the prescription of Dandingsi, the child will soon become strong.

Xu Nuo felt a chill all over his body and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You know how to pretend to be sick at a time like this. I saw you and Bai Heng chatting happily before."

"Except for Sister Bai Heng, you five heroes on Yunshang are probably all taciturn. I think she must be having a hard time holding back."

Jing Liu didn't say anything. In a sense, there was nothing wrong with what Xu Nuo said. She and Dan Feng were indeed like this. Jing Yuan was rather restrained and too serious. He always spoke in an official tone. Bai Heng didn't like chatting with him very much either.
