How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hongli looked at Xiao Huo, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and smiled: "I have to say, this child learns pretty quickly."

"That's because you taught me so well, Xiao Li!"

"That's right, I'm a genius!"

"Huh? Not humble at all?"

"It's just stating the facts."

Chapter 96 Drinking and Exchanging Greetings... No Need to Rush

"Yes, let's do it here!"

Hei Xiaolong looked at Hei Xiaoqi beside him and said solemnly, "The Xuanbing Crystal should be nearby. My cultivation technique can give me a vague sense of it."

"Sister, stay here and don't wander around. Let the cold front protect you. If you encounter danger and can't fight back, you can still run away!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your thing!"

Hei Xiaoqi waved her hand impatiently: "I'm your older sister, why do you need to worry about my affairs?"

"whispering sound……"

Hei Xiaolong glanced at his older sister and muttered under his breath, "Noob..."

"what?"

"it's okay no problem."

Hei Xiaolong waved his hand guiltily and looked at Hong Li, who was still sitting behind Han Liu: "Um, Sister Hong Li, what about you?"

“Duoduoduo…”

Hong Li's eyes darted around, and she blinked. Flames began to rise from her body, melting the frost all over her.

"She's thawing!"

Hei Xiaoqi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.

"What the hell is this thawing?! How can it possibly freeze again?!"

Hei Xiaolong didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked!

"Cough cough! Ptooey!"

Hongli coughed, spitting out a mouthful of ice crystals, and looked up at him with a puzzled expression: "Huh? Spring has arrived?"

"Hmm, is hibernation over yet...?"

Little Red Riding Hood rolled out of her arms, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her wings, and couldn't help but yawn: "Sleeping in Mommy's arms is so reassuring, cough cough..."

Xiao Huo felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help but cough twice, spitting out a few sparks that landed on Hong Li's hand, but nothing happened.

"Ugh... Let's go, let's get going."

Hongli yawned, holding a gun in one hand and a small fire in the other, looking like she hadn't woken up yet. She wobbled to the ground and staggered away.

"Eh! Eh!"

Hei Xiaolong couldn't help but shout, "Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli? Is she sleepwalking?"

"Well……"

Hei Xiaoqi frowned: "I've never heard Xiao Yang mention that Xiao Li sleepwalks."

"Aha?"

Hei Xiaolong scratched his head in confusion: "Sister, are you stupid? Even if Brother Hei Yang is very powerful, he wouldn't know whether Sister Hong Li is sleepwalking or not, would he?"

"Ha, am I stupid?"

Hei Xiaoqi rolled her eyes: "You're too young and don't understand at all, you newbie!"

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Why are you trying to hit your sister?"

"I……"

"Alright, alright, you guys get back to what you were doing."

Halfway there, Hongli suddenly seemed to remember something, so she casually stuffed Xiao Huo into her bosom and waved with her free hand: "I have something to do, see you later."

"Ah, it seems he's awake..."

Hei Xiaolong scratched his head, still looking at his older sister with some unease: "Then I'm leaving."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and come back!"

"Oh."

……

"..."

In front of Hong Li's house, Xingyun peeked out with her little blue head, asking, "Where is everyone...?"

Just as Xingyun was intently peeking, a hand suddenly touched her shoulder: "Hey!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

A piercing scream tore through the sky, scattering the fiery clouds. Xingyun plopped down on the ground, turning her head back in terror: "Aunt Hong... Aunt Hongling?"

"Ha, scared you, didn't you!"

Hongling chuckled, but then scratched her head sheepishly at Xingyun's expression: "It seems like you scared her a little too much?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing..."

Xingyun blushed, then waved her hand dismissively, saying, "This is nothing to me..."

"Ah, how dishonest."

Hongling smiled helplessly and stopped provoking the girl: "By the way, why are you squatting at Xiaoli's door? Are you still resentful? After your hard training, your power has greatly increased, and you want to take revenge?"

"No, no, the gap between me and Senior Sister Hongli is already very clear..."

Xingyun hurriedly waved her hand: "I came here this time to ask Sister Hongli to bring me something when she goes down the mountain, but she hasn't come back yet..."

Ah, it's dying without bitter melon-flavored cookies! Sister Hongli, why aren't you back yet?!

"Oh, that's really unfortunate."

Hongling held up one finger and explained, "Xiaoli just sent Xiaoli to tell you that she has something to do and will be away for a few more days. She doesn't know when she will be back."

"ah?!!"

Xingyun gasped in surprise, tears welling in her eyes: "How...how could this be? Then...doesn't that mean..."

"Ha, I was just kidding!"

Hongling smiled and pulled out a large bag from behind her, on which was written "Little Cutie" in neat handwriting: "Hey, Xiaoli asked Xiaoli to bring this back. I think the 'Little Cutie' she wrote must be you, Xiaoyun, right?"

"Oh, really?!"

Xingyun blinked, reached out and took the bag. Seeing what was inside, she exclaimed excitedly, "It really is! It's everything I wanted, not a single thing is missing!"

"Ha, it seems that's the case."

Hongling looked at her own Li Huohe behind her, or rather, the pile of items on its back, and shook her head with a smile: "That girl Xiao Li made Xiao Li bring back all the things she bought, but she still has the storage bag on her, saying she's going to empty it to store more important things."

"so……"

Xingyun looked curiously at the items behind Li Huohe, uh... a cutting board, a kitchen knife, a rolling pin?

"So I came to her house to put these things back first."

Hongling shook her head at the token in her hand engraved with the character "Li": "Look, she gave me the family gate token, how could I not come?"

"Ugh, while you're at it, tidy up her room too. It's been a while since I've been here; I wonder what a mess it is now."

"Ah this..."

……

"Don't just sit there like an idiot, come and lend a hand!"

Qing Yiyi, carrying the dishes, glared at Hei Muguang, who was drinking with Hong Xiaochen, and said, "We haven't even started eating yet, and all you know is drinking! The kids aren't home, so you're just letting loose, huh!"

"Okay, my dear wife!"

Hei Muguang stood up with a smile and took the plate from him: "There's nothing I can do, Xiaoyang doesn't like the taste of alcohol. It's just that we haven't drunk together in a long time, and we're feeling restless!"

"Xiao Li too."

Hong Xiaochen smiled helplessly, "He frowns as soon as he smells alcohol on his father. He couldn't quit drinking when he was pursuing Yu Ying, but after having Xiao Li, he doesn't drink as often."

"Hmph, who knows what happened back then."

Lan Yuying followed Qing Yiyi with a light snort: "Are you blind to let her follow a guy like you?"

"Oh? Do you regret it?"

"Alright, stop joking around. Serve the food. We finally have some free time to get together. We're just wasting time here."
