How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Only then did she realize the extent of her injuries; although not fatal, they were somewhat affecting her mobility.

With another sigh, Hongli glanced at Heiyang with deadpan eyes. She gently leaned against him and closed her eyes.

……

"Uh……"

The rooster's crow woke Hei Yang. He groggily opened his eyes and subconsciously yawned: "I felt a little uncomfortable sleeping in yesterday's position, yawn, oh my god!"

A ferocious tiger's head leaped into his field of vision, startling Hei Yang so much that his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and he instantly snapped back to reality.

"You're awake."

Hongli gently moved the giant tiger's corpse aside, looking at Heiyang with a dejected expression: "Hmm, the treatment was very successful. You're a girl now!"

Hei Yang: "???"

Pupil earthquake!

"No way, no one actually believes that, right?"

Hong Li chuckled, put down the wild fruit in her arms, and a rabbit was still stuck in the spear in her hand.

"Hey, what's with that look you're giving me, like 'This guy actually woke up so early and is working so hard'?!"

Hong Li suddenly became furious: "Even if I'm lazy, I wouldn't just watch myself starve to death!"

"Oh, I didn't say anything. You just made it all up in your head."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes, casually picked up a wild fruit, wiped it, and took a bite: "It tastes alright. This thing isn't poisonous, is it?"

"It's poisonous; it's been drugged with sleeping potion."

Hongli retorted irritably, "I'll poison you to death right now."

"whispering sound."

Hei Yang curled his lip: "It didn't poison me, but it scared me to death first. Why did you throw this thing's corpse in front of me?"

"Oh, if I don't stop you, you dog, you'll be carried off by wolves when I come back from finding food, right?"

"Ah, that's true. Though the tiger is dead, its might remains..."

Hei Yang realized what was happening and nodded: "Besides, I have so many wounds on my body, didn't you even bother to bandage them for me? Ha, in the end, our feelings have faded!"

"How about I stab you a couple of times with a gun, okay?"

Hongli couldn't help but curse, "You're really pushing your luck, aren't you?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."

Since he had accepted their hospitality, Hei Yang readily admitted defeat: "So, we've fallen down here?"

"if not?"

Hong Li waved her hand: "Don't think about it. I just looked. There are no peerless divine pills, no immortal inheritances, no rare beasts, and no treasures or secret realms."

This is just an ordinary crevice in a cliff, not some kind of upstart workshop.

"But……"

Hei Yang, feeling somewhat unconvinced that his thoughts had been exposed, retorted, "But we didn't die after falling off the cliff, don't you think that's significant?"

"You say you're not dead, but your parents, and my parents, might not think so."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "Think about it, those two little girls tumbled back and crawled back, they'll definitely tell them that we couldn't go back again. They might even have been forced to die."

"What the hell is this about being forced to die?"

"Hey, you don't have to believe me."

Hongli put her hand to her ear: "I can almost hear your cries at your funeral: 'Oh, my poor child, how could you be so cruel~'"

"Grass (which has now become a type of plant), you're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you!"

"No, no, it's just your imagination."

Hong Li's expression remained unchanged, looking completely normal—that was the most abnormal thing about her!

"So, we should hurry up and find a way back, right?"

Hei Yang pointed out the key point: he didn't care much about the strange encounter at the bottom of the cliff or the mysterious inheritance; they were all fake. He just wanted to go home immediately!

After all, if it had been a few days later, his grave might have already been dug.

If it were a few days later, he wouldn't even be able to return to the afterlife on the seventh day after his death... Bah, he wasn't dead to begin with, so what's the point of his soul returning!

"Of course! I've been out of bed for a whole day, and I'm about to collapse!"

Hongli sighed and pointed to the ceiling: "But look at both sides, there are cliffs and steep walls, how are we going to get up there?"

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang subconsciously ground his teeth: "This is a bit difficult."

"That's it."

Hongli stretched: "That's right, ah—there's no way, there's no way..."

"Uh, did I just hear a rooster crow?"

Hei Yang suddenly realized: "Or was I still dreaming back then and hadn't woken up?"

"That's not..."

Hong Li scratched her head, her long hair a mess, making Hei Yang want to... rip it off!

Unaware of Hei Yang's ill-intentioned gaze, Hong Li ran her fingers through her hair and said to herself, "I think I heard a rooster crowing just now. Could it be some kind of accidental encounter with the spirit chicken coop?"

"That makes sense!"

Hei Yang stretched, slowly stood up, and started walking along the cliff. Hong Li followed behind him, pulling on her spear: "Don't run around!"

"Relax, relax. I was just seeing if I could find some kind of spirit chicken coop. Maybe, uh... Hong Li?"

"what happened?"

Hong Li looked puzzled.

"Look what that thing is!"

Hei Yang pointed to the cliff next to him and couldn't help but rub his eyes: "I suspect there's something wrong with my eyes, I'm hallucinating."

"Clam?"

Hongli turned her head to look, and then, she too showed a blank expression.

"Cluck cluck?"

The spirit chicken hung upside down on a protrusion, looking down at Hei Yang and Hong Li. What a coincidence, we meet again!

It wasn't intentional, but this damn iron chain on its leg was just too annoying. It would swing off every two steps, rolling around and eventually falling off without you noticing...

After all, it was a winged creature; a mere cliff was nothing to it...

Unfortunately, the iron chain under his feet was too heavy, and he couldn't bounce it up, falling straight down with it.

And then, it turned out like this...

The chain was stuck on a protrusion, and the rooster below hung upside down, swaying...

"Hey! It's you, you persistent ghost!"

Hei Yang couldn't help but roar, "Give me back my expectations!"

"That's right, that's right. We've ended up like this because you couldn't resist the temptation and came into our lives with Hei Yang's rooster!"

Hongli chimed in, "If it weren't for you, I'd still be comfortably lying at home like a corpse!"

"Cluck cluck?"

The rooster tucked its wings in. How could it be blamed?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 14 Let’s go!

"How to say……"

Hei Yang pulled the spirit chicken off its chains, grabbed its wings, and glanced at Hong Li: "How should we deal with this mastermind?"

"Cack!"

The rooster kicked its legs wildly and stared wide-eyed. What do you mean by "mastermind"? This has nothing to do with it!

"You have another problem?"

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "Not the mastermind, but the culprit, okay?"

Spirit Chicken: "..."

Is there any difference?

"My suggestion..."

Hongli couldn't help but lick her lips: "Look, we're both injured. We can stew it into a soup to replenish our energy. Anyway, that guy Xia Haizi isn't a decent person, so we don't need to think about giving him the spirit chicken..."
