Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"Chief, the Huang family sent someone to say that they hope to reach a comprehensive cooperation with us and kill Mo Feng." A secret disciple whispered in a hidden basement of the Danding Division.

"I am being watched very closely by that old guy Jing Yuan. Many people cannot move now. Once they are involved, it may lead to the failure of next year's big plan." Dan Shu said, "It's not worth it to kill Mo Feng. What changes will Luofu have if he is killed?"

“I am so angry that this traitor is living so happily. We value him so much that we even want to grant him eternal life, but a mere short-lived creature doesn’t even cherish his fortune.” The secret disciple said angrily.

"Haha, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. I didn't realize he was so stupid as to resist the temptation of eternal life. But Fu Xuan is still alive, and any plot may not be hidden from her eyes. If Master Changsheng is asked to perform that secret technique again, that master will not agree to such a thing for a mere lieutenant."

"He's so lucky that he can be saved. Bai Lu is really a good man." Mi Chuan sneered.

"Do you think Bai Lu saved him? Haha, what a joke. It was because of Mo Feng, and there is a envoy next to him, whose identity is unknown for the time being. But I have checked and he is just a native Luofu." Dan Shu said. "It will be troublesome to touch him. But when the Lord of Extinction comes, everything will be empty talk."

"I understand... Let them be proud for a while."

"Tell those powerful people to behave themselves and stop making a fuss over trivial matters. If Jing Yuan catches them, they will be the ones who die the fastest. They have lived too long and enjoyed too many good days that they have forgotten that he is a hunting envoy and a general in Luofu!"

"Yes……"

……

Because there will be no war in the near future, Mo Feng feels bored just by training. People are like this, they will get bored after doing something for a long time. Moreover, Mo Feng went to the Cloud Cavalry Camp to practice with other people, and those Cloud Cavalry together were not his opponents, which was really boring. Yan Qing could not come to the sword-fighting every day, and after each sword-fighting, he would feel something in his heart and go into seclusion for a while.

He really gets stronger as he fights. Although he has never been on the battlefield, every time Mo Feng uses some wild tricks on the battlefield, Yan Qing will learn to counterattack the next time. He is truly a one-in-a-million swordsmanship genius. No wonder Jing Yuan thinks so highly of him.

He is no match for me, a naturally intelligent person. He is a genius, and I am a pseudo-genius who takes shortcuts.

Therefore, it is also nice to come to Changletian to drink tea occasionally. He really doesn't like drinking alcohol. Later, he tried drinking alcohol, but he couldn't drink it at all. Tea is still better.

Now I finally don’t have to beg to buy tea. When I think about the days when I survived in the wilderness, I actually miss them a little.

I heard from Qingque that Fu Xuan likes Xing Yu Bobo very much... To be honest, Mo Feng doesn't really like this kind of milk tea, it's a little bitter. I still think the Immortal Happy Milk Tea is better. Sweetness is always better than bitterness, right?

"Hey, isn't this Mo Shuai? Are you here to listen to a book today?" the shop owner welcomed him.

Since it is a teahouse, there is no lack of storytellers. After all, listening to stories is the most common entertainment in Luofu. Apart from this, the most famous ones are crosstalk and Diyuan Qiongyu promoted by Qingque.

"A pot of Baiyejing, warm, with some rock sugar." Mo Feng took out two Xundi, "The rest is a tip. By the way, what is the storyteller going to say today?"

"Mo Shuai is generous." The teahouse owner likes people like Mo Feng, who is straightforward, has clear and reasonable demands, and does not put on airs. Moreover, thanks to Mo Feng's reputation, more and more people come to his teahouse. Although Mo Feng did not intentionally promote it, it is the signboard of Luofu. Of course, if a tea master like Fu Xuan comes, the effect will be even better, but it's a pity that such a workaholic big shot hardly comes to the teahouse.

"Originally, the storyteller said he wanted to keep it a secret and give everyone a little surprise. Hehe, it's okay to tell Mo Shuai in advance, just to be friends. He wants to tell a new story today, The Legend of Fox Man." The teahouse owner said with a smile, "It's a beautiful love story. He thinks telling the martial arts stories of the Five Heroes on the Cloud every day is too monotonous, so he wants to change the taste."

"Then I'm all ears." Mo Feng said with a smile, then sat down.

It's actually a story about foxes, but it's rare. As a tribe that joined the Xianzhou Alliance later, the foxes have a lifespan between the short-lived and long-lived species, about 400 years. Most of their members are beautiful, either handsome or beautiful. They are very good at doing business and have a unique understanding of driving the star raft. The most common representative is the current Tianbosi Siduo Yukong, and Bai Heng, who drove the star raft and died with the sudden order hundreds of years ago, and the only fox in the Yunshang Five Warriors.

As the blinds came up, the clerk respectfully filled Mo Feng's glass and stepped aside. The storyteller also slowly walked to the front of the stage.

"Hello everyone, it's my old friend Jiang Yimeng again. I think everyone is a little tired of hearing the story of the Five Heroes of Yunshang. Today I will tell you another story." A man wearing sunglasses spoke slowly, the fan in his hand blowing gently.

The people below listened quietly. If anyone made a noise, that person would definitely be attacked by the crowd.

A long, long time ago, when the Xianzhou Alliance had just welcomed the Fox People to join, there was a young hero in Xianzhou named Zhu Sanbai. He was young and promising and had obtained the qualification of Cloud Rider very early. He killed countless enemies...

But he never thought of himself as great. He participated in the Yunqi election and became a Yunqi just because of a promise he made with someone when he was a child.

That person was Zhu Sanbai's childhood sweetheart, Hua Xiuying, a fox-man. Just as everyone expected, she was as beautiful as every female fox-man walking on the street today, stunningly beautiful. But at that time, the fox-man had just joined the Xianzhou not long ago, and their foundation was not yet solid. Many conservative forces in the Xianzhou did not want to see the fox-man share their share of the pie, and the status of the fox-man was not high due to their joint targeting.

Many fox women are forced to become prostitutes in order to make a living.

Hua Xiuying is one of them. Her family is poor, and her parents intend to let her work in a brothel to support the family. They look down on Zhu Sanfeng's identity as a commoner and instigate Hua Xiuying to stay away from such ruffians.

Hua Xiuying was naturally very reluctant, but she had no choice but to tell her beloved: "Sanbai, let's not meet. It's good for both you and me..."

But Zhu Sanbai, a man of integrity, couldn't bear to see his lover so sad: "Is it your parents who don't accept me?"

"No - Sanbai, I'm a fox man and I only have a lifespan of 400 years. You can live for a thousand years. I don't want to see you sad when I die..." Hua Xiuying said half-lyingly.

This was indeed what she really wanted, but she was also very selfish. Since both of them loved each other, why should they separate? If Zhu Sanbai was willing, she also wanted to be selfish and stay with him forever.

But the pressure from her parents still crushed her selfishness. If the ending was destined to be bad, then why bother doing it in the first place? Since she didn't want to see Zhu Sanbai sad, she might as well say goodbye.

"Xiuying, if I become the commander of the Cloud Cavalry, will you marry me? Your parents should agree, right?" Zhu Sanfeng said. His tone was not as dejected as Hua Xiuying thought, but full of determination.

"Sanbai..." Hua Xiuying cried in Zhu Sanbai's arms.

"Xiuying, wait for me. Wait until I marry you." From then on, Zhu Sanbai took up his sword and rode on his horse, beginning his military life.

It was this agreement that made him kill the enemy again and again. He wanted to achieve a high enough position, enough to make Xiuying's parents look at him differently. Even if he was covered in wounds, he would stand up and defend the oath he made with his life!

He didn't want Hua Xiuying to cry again. All the status and achievements he had achieved were for the sake of making Hua Xiuying smile.

But fate is a believer in joy.

When Zhu Sanbai returned victorious, he was already the commander of the Yunqi, but he never lived to see Hua Xiuying marry him. After Hua Xiuying fell into the brothel, she always maintained her chastity, selling art but not her body, but the will of many people was not something she could change.

A big shot wanted to marry her as a concubine, and the price he offered made Hua Xiuying's parents dumbfounded. They didn't care about Zhu Sanbai's old oath that was like a joke. Under the pressure of her parents, Hua Xiuying had no choice but to submit and become the big shot's concubine.

But on the wedding day, she was unwilling to do so. She remembered the promise Zhu Sanbai had made to her, and she wanted to wait until her lover married her in a proper manner. In the end, she, who had always been timid all her life, made the most resolute decision.

She didn't want to pollute her body, so she hanged herself on the beam.

This was her struggle against fate and also an ode to her suffering. She used her own blood to prove to everyone that her love for Zhu Sanbai could not be tarnished.

When Zhu Sanbai heard that Hua Xiuying had passed away for many years, he burst into tears. He, who was originally tall and strong, became as thin as an old man overnight.

The next day, he cremated himself in front of Hua Xiuying's grave.

He left resolutely, as if he had no attachment to this world. His power, his status, his money, were worthless to him. He couldn't stand a world without Hua Xiuying, so he left.

In the firelight, some people saw two red and blue discs dancing in the air, as if two people had ascended to heaven and were dependent on each other, walking together forever.

The story ends here. The storyteller tells it with great emotion. As he waits for the last word “together” to fall, the teahouse is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Then, some sobbing sounds were heard, and these sounds were like viruses, making more and more people cry.

By the end of the story, the storyteller's eyes were filled with tears because he was so emotional.

Mo Feng only realized that his tea had gone cold when he heard the end. He just held the cup in his hand and was so focused on listening that he forgot to taste the tea.

A wave of uncomfortable aftereffects came over me.

It would be too shameful for a dignified captain of the Cloud Cavalry to cry in a teahouse, so Mo Feng tried not to cry. But his tears were disobedient and wanted to overflow.

At this time, no one paid attention to Mo Feng's strange behavior, and everyone was using tissues to stop their tears.

……

"So, is this what it feels like?" A person murmured at the door of the teahouse. A gentle breeze blew, and the pink-haired girl looked at the azure sky at noon, a crystal teardrop seemed to be about to fall in the corner of her eye.
