How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Hey, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

One of the girls gave her companion a disdainful look: "I've never seen you fawn over your senior sister like this before. What's wrong? Has your personality changed drastically?"

"Not really."

The companion, barely suppressing a laugh, pointed behind the other person and whispered, "Because your senior sister is right behind you..."

"you……"

The girl hesitated, a string of profanities held back by her good upbringing, and she couldn't utter them.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned her head, revealing a bright smile: "Ha, senior sister, what a coincidence! How come you're behind me!"

……

"Hmm, Junior Sister Hongli..."

Nan Xiaoyi looked at Xingyun, who opened the door, with a puzzled expression, and frowned as she pondered, "Was it blue hair again?"

"Haha, senior sister, you've misunderstood..."

Xingyun chuckled awkwardly, "I'm not Senior Sister Hongli, I'm Xingyun, a classmate of hers. I'm just here to visit her house today..."

"Oh, I remember now! I've heard so much about you, so much about you, the legendary fat... oh, I mean..."

Nan Xiaoyi coughed twice: "Is this the one you just submitted? It says your house burned down and needs to be rebuilt..."

"Ah this..."

Xingyun was taken aback: "Senior Sister Hongli, is she really that thoughtful?"

"Oh dear, I was wondering at the time, how could the home of us fire department disciples have been burned down?"

Nan Xiaoyi sighed and said in a dramatic tone, "Later I found out that the building materials used in your house were of a relatively low grade, which is why they were so easily burned."

Look at this room again. It's Junior Sister Hongli's room. She uses high-grade Firewood, which is not afraid of fire at all. Moreover, it's warm and comfortable to live in. It's simply...

Oh, I hadn't noticed before, but this junior's home is decorated with a very homey feel. Looks like she's a girl who knows how to enjoy life..."

"Firewood...so that's how it is..."

Xingyun nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at Nan Xiaoyi, somewhat intrigued, and asked, "Where can I buy the Firewood you mentioned, Senior Sister? Do I need to go down the mountain..."

"Ha! Of course not!"

Nan Xiaoyi's lips curled up, and she had already put her arm around Xingyun's neck without her noticing, saying affectionately, "Isn't this a coincidence! Oh my, how could it be such a coincidence?"

My senior colleague happens to know where to buy this kind of wood, and by going through her, I can get you a discounted price. Plus, if you top up your membership card now, you can…”

"Membership card!!!"

Xingyun's eyes lit up: "Does that mean regular members get a 5% discount, premium members get a 10% discount, and VIP members get a 20% discount?!"

"No no no."

Nan Xiaoyi shook her finger and frowned, saying, "No, right now VIP members can only get a 10% discount, while regular members only have the right to pre-order."

"Huh? How could this be!"

Xingyun's eyes widened: "Why is it so expensive?!"

"Oh dear, the mountain is closed now."

Nan Xiaoyi shrugged: "Anyway..."

"boom!"

The kitchen door was suddenly opened and then slammed shut, startling the two of them.

Hong Li, expressionless, dragged pieces of broken planks with a broom, bypassed the two people, and walked to the muddy ground in the backyard: "Nirvana Flame!"

"boom!"

The broken wood planks instantly turned into ashes, and the pollution was successfully purified.

However, thinking about the pile of food still unprocessed in the kitchen, Hongli felt a bit of a headache. When she returned, she passed by the two of them again, glanced at Nan Xiaoyi, and said in a flat voice, "Ah, we have guests. Xiaoyun, please entertain them for me. I'm quite busy. Thank you."

"boom!"

The kitchen door was closed again.

"Ah this..."

Xingyun looked at Nan Xiaoyi with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you say that the wood used by Senior Sister Hongli's family wouldn't burn..."

"Oh, cough cough, then she must have bought a fake!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Nan Xiaoyi's forehead. She chuckled sheepishly and pointed to herself, "So, this shows how important a good, reliable channel is. That way, you can..."

"Wait, seeing Sister Hongli suddenly reminded me..."

Xingyun suddenly came to her senses and remembered Hongli's advice: "If anyone tries to get me to buy a membership again, don't believe them. That's what she said!"

"Ha! How could that be!"

Two tic-tac-toe marks popped out above Nan Xiaoyi's head as she smiled and said, "Did she really say that?"

"Well, that's right!"

Xingyun nodded firmly: "That's what they said!"

"Alright! It seems I must uphold the law impartially!"

Nan Xiaoyi's face turned cold as she strode towards the kitchen: "That's right, this is absolutely not abuse of power for personal gain; I'm exercising justice..."

"Hey, wait, no, there..."

Xingyun didn't finish her sentence: "That might be the scene of Hongli's crime..."

Before Xingyun could finish speaking, Nan Xiaoyi suddenly yanked open the kitchen door and walked in without thinking: "You... what is this, ugh!"

Then there was silence.

Xingyun: "!!!"

"Oh no, we've been attacked?"

Xingyun's voice trembled. If Sister Hongli had even started attacking law enforcement officers, wouldn't she, who was responsible for stalling, be considered an accomplice...?

"boom!"

The kitchen door was closed again.

Chapter 153 As an excellent little black, one cannot admit one's mistakes before the confession BGM starts playing!

"Phew, this guy..."

Hong Li tossed the unconscious Nan Xiaoyi onto the bed, clapped her hands, and glanced at the other woman.

"How can there be such a person? They come in panting heavily, as if they're here to act as a human air purifier?"

"Um, Senior Sister Hongli, what should we do now..."

Xingyun asked cautiously, glancing at the doorway every now and then, swallowing hard: "What should we do?"

"Huh? What do you mean, what should we do?"

Hong Li looked puzzled, shook her head, and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind, since you're an acquaintance of yours, you can take care of him. I'm busy right now."

"Hey, this isn't something I'm familiar with..."

Xingyun paused mid-sentence, then suddenly stopped, realizing what she was saying, and stared blankly at the unconscious Nan Xiaoyi: "Could this be the so-called 'pledge of allegiance,' the test to join the group? If you pass, you join; if you fail, then..."

"Xiaoyun, what are you muttering about?"

Hongli glanced at Xingyun with a puzzled look, and the latter's body tensed up suddenly.

"W-what's wrong, Sister Hongli?!"

Xingyun's eyes widened, and she asked in a loud voice, "What are your orders?"

"Well……"

Hongli was taken aback, feeling as if the child in front of her had undergone some kind of spiritual transformation: "Ah, I meant, I just said I wanted you to take care of her..."

"Oh, supervising her is no problem!"

Xingyun nodded seriously: "Rope or chain?"

Hongli: "?"

"I guess I'm getting old and can't keep up with the way young people think..."

Muttering to herself, Hongli sighed, turned and walked towards the kitchen, pausing as she passed the kitchen door: "To be fair, this door is of pretty good quality..."

"boom."

The kitchen door was closed again.

"..."

Xingyun turned her head, looked at Nan Xiaoyi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, sighed, covered her with a blanket, moved a small stool, sat on the edge of the bed, propped her chin on her arm, and watched over her with a melancholy expression: "I haven't asked her yet if there will be any new preferential levels for VIP members..."

"..."
