Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

Chapter 117 Eternal White Moonlight

Lan Qing was not in a hurry about Ying Xing making the ritual vessel, since it was not something that was urgently needed anyway.

After discussing the weapon forging, Lu Qing suddenly seemed to think of something. He circled around the blade a few times, revealing a curious expression: "By the way, what is your relationship with Yin Yue and Bai Heng?"

"Comrade, and only friend."

"Is that all?"

"That's all."

"Don't you have any other ideas?"

"What kind of ideas do you mean?"

"Between the sexes."

"I am a short-lived species, and Bai Heng is an immortal species. There is a natural barrier between her and me."

"Hmm? Ying Xing has a lifespan of a hundred years. When you became one of the Five Warriors of the Clouds, you must have been quite old, right? Naturally, you would have wanted to continue the family line. It's human instinct. Tell me, if that incident hadn't happened, what would have happened to you, the Five Warriors of the Clouds?"

Ren still ignored Lanqing's slightly offensive gossip.

"Who knows?" Ren pondered for a moment. The past was meaningless. Hypotheses were just hypotheses after all, and they wouldn't change anything that had already been discovered. However, it was precisely because they were hypotheses that people could indulge in endless daydreaming without any burden. "Perhaps, as the Sword Master, Jingliu enjoyed a lifetime of fame and became the most outstanding swordsman in Luofu history. Before the arrival of the Demon Yin, he passed away peacefully in the Ten Kings Division."

"Jing Yuan's life may not change much... He will still be Luofu's General of Divine Strategy, with unparalleled strategies, but the burden on him may be much lighter than it is now."

"Yaoqing's fox-man Bai Heng sacrificed her youth and life for the adventure she loved. As an unknown traveler, she might have encountered danger on her journeys, but she would always escape danger and return to her beloved immortal ship. Then, she would once again resolutely set out on adventures, never stopping, never looking back, forever so free and easy, so happy. As for her aging, I won't be able to see it... Perhaps at my funeral, she would have a good cry."

"Zhu Ming Baiye Yingxing, a star that streaked across the history of Zhu Ming forging like a shining meteor, became an eternal shining star in the hearts of the craftsmen, but he could not change anything.

After all, he is just a short-lived creature, a short-lived ghost with a lifespan of only a hundred years. Perhaps he will marry a wife whose remaining lifespan is almost the same as his, give birth to children, and spend his old age in peace.

As I grow older, looking at my still-youthful companions and my now-adult children, I sigh inwardly, "You are still the same as I remember you, but I am no longer myself. From now on, the descendants of the people named Yingxing will accompany you." This is a kind of spiritual continuation and transmission.

"As for Yinyue, let her go into reincarnation alone..." Ren was still very emotional when talking about his companions. He changed his usual dull temperament and expressed all the beautiful expectations in his heart. However, when talking about Yinyue, he obviously brought up personal grudges.

Qing was relentless: "You're avoiding the important issues..." Ying Xing was a little annoyed by this, and the mood he had cultivated with great difficulty was completely destroyed.

"Renqing, you're really annoying sometimes. Why are you so curious about my feelings for Bai Heng?"

"There are many curious people. I'm just a mouthpiece."

The incoherent words gave Ren a headache. Unable to bear it, he chose to speak out his true thoughts: "She was the eternal white moonlight in my heart when I was young, and the object of my admiration that supported me in studying in a foreign land. It is impossible to say that I don't have any thoughts in my heart. But because of this, I know that our relationship can't go any further... Even if Bai Heng is willing, she will be the only one who gets hurt in the end."

“She is the light, illuminating the path for lost children… She is also the only faint candle in the darkness, a light people yearn for, yet dare not approach, fearing they might accidentally extinguish it.”

"This is my true opinion of Bai Heng, but it's meaningless to say it now."

"Where's Yin Yue?"

Ren frowned, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I can tell you all this."

Even to his benefactor, he couldn't reveal all his thoughts frankly, but it was different for others, especially this guy Yinyue.

"The Chiming people can't have children. Although that doesn't mean they don't have romantic feelings, Dan Feng is completely indifferent to this aspect. In his eyes, men and women are all human beings, with no difference at all... In his eyes, Bai Heng might be a close friend worth confiding in."

"We were both arrogant back then. Although we sometimes understood each other tacitly, most of the time we looked down on each other."

"Jingliu is the core of our group. Without her, we wouldn't be able to gather together. She has a cold heart and is reluctant to socialize. She is a comrade worth entrusting, someone worthy of complete trust, but not someone suitable to confide in."

“Sometimes you talk a lot to Jingliu, and in the end you might just get a “hmm” in response.”

"Jing Yuan's words are completely inferior to his generation. The proud Dragon Lord will naturally not tell everything to a junior."

"Under these circumstances, Bai Heng, the team's happy fruit, naturally brought a completely different feeling to all of us. It's said that people's personalities need to complement each other, and Bai Heng just happens to complement all of us."

"Perhaps because Yinyue had been the Dragon Lord for too long, everyone he met either treated him with awe and servility, or else sought to exploit him... Bai Heng, who treated everyone equally, gave Yinyue a completely different experience. For this reason, he 'fell' for him, and the white moonlight named Bai Heng remained in his heart forever."

"When Bai Heng died, Yinyue was the most emotionally unstable of all, followed by me. He was always so arrogant and cold, but he cried so heartbreakingly... In Yinyue's mind, every death of a Chiming member is one less. So, in Yinyue's eyes, true death was extremely heavy, so heavy that he couldn't accept it. That's why he did such a crazy thing."

"I understand him, support him, and help him, but honestly, if he hadn't started it, I wouldn't have gone completely mad like him for Bai Heng's resurrection. At that time, he was like a fairy boat person who had acquired a demonic body..."

"In Xianzhou, dying in battle is considered an honor. However, Jingliu, a Xianzhou native, was the first to accept the passing of her only close friend. In her heart, this is an eternal honor. We don't understand Jingliu's indifference to Bai Heng's passing, and she doesn't understand why Dan Heng and I would commit such a sin..."

"The Five Heroes of the Clouds, after all, are five similar yet completely different individuals from different races."

"We were comrades in arms, supporting each other... but in reality, we never truly opened our hearts to each other."

"We are just five people. We have never been a group called the Cloud Five."
