How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"That's called mutual appreciation!"

Hongli retorted unhappily, "Think about it, someone as perfect as me, if I were a boy, I'm sure many girls would like me!"

However, unfortunately, a perfect person will only see another flawless version of me. So, isn't it only natural that we be together?

"So, is this considered narcissism?"

"Mind your own business, you weakling! A loser in love!"

Hongling: "!!!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 158 Pay close attention when listening to elders; their life experience is their greatest treasure.

“Look, it’s like that…”

Hongli pouted, pointed guiltily at the kitchen ceiling, her face slightly flushed, and honestly confessed.

"Just...whoosh, the pot lid flew off, hitting my cleaver, and then my soup exploded...It was just an accident, really, you have to believe me!"

"Pfft, hahaha, how is that possible! Hahahaha!"

Seeing Hongli's adorable attempt to deny it, Hongling couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could something like that happen while just cooking a simple meal? No normal person would believe that, hahaha!"

"..."

Several tic-tac-toe marks appeared on Hongli's forehead, and her little fists involuntarily hardened: "Hey! What do you mean by this! Are you looking for trouble!"

"No, no, I just meant... hahaha..."

Hongling waved her hand, still unable to suppress the smile on her face: "Xiaoli, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a better excuse. Something like cooking and blowing up the room..."

"whispering sound……"

Hongli gently lifted the basin covering the pot next to her, quickly fanned the smell towards Hongling with her small hands: "Believe it or not, smell it for yourself."

"Huh? What are you smelling..."

Hongling paused, turned her head to look, and gently sniffed: "...Ugh! Quick, close it and put the lid back on!"

"Now you believe it."

Hongli frowned and said resentfully, "I really have been at home the whole time and haven't done anything. This pot of soup is proof."

Hey, don't just stay silent! Show some attitude, will you?

"Wait, wait a minute, let me calm down..."

Hongling shook her slightly dazed head and waved her hand: "Your evidence is indeed quite substantial! Hmm... too heavyweight!"

Hongli: "..."

Dissatisfied +1 +1 +1...

"Ahem, that..."

It took Hongling a while to come to her senses, but she looked at Hongli with a strange expression: "I think I understand now. So, Xiaoli, you're a victim too..."

"Then wouldn't I be the victim too?!"

Hongli looked up at her aunt with a wronged expression: "I'm not only a victim, my kitchen was also victimized, and so was my ceiling... Anyway, I'm the most miserable one!" (Heiyang: ?)

"That does seem to be true..."

Hongling recalled the indescribable taste from earlier, her lips twitching slightly: "So, Xiaoli, you've been eating this kind of thing since you were little? No wonder you're not tall, you were malnourished..."

Hongli: "???"

Wait a minute, Auntie, are you misunderstanding something? Nobody would grow up eating this stuff!

Dissatisfied +999 +999 +999

"Are you serious?"

Hongli looked like she was questioning the meaning of life. She pointed to the pot next to her, then to herself: "Who would grow up eating this kind of thing!"

Do you really think creatures that grow up eating this kind of thing exist? I'm so pretty!

"Well……"

Hongling looked down at herself, then glanced at Hongli's chest, and nodded: "Hmm, that explains it. It really was malnutrition..."

"???!?"

Hong Li instantly crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Hong Ling with a mixture of fear and anger. Her hair stood on end, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "What! You! Mean!!"

What the hell was that look?! Why are you looking at me like that?! Don't look at me with that pitying gaze! I don't need your pity! Aa ...

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

Hongli's loud scream startled the four people sitting in the living room. They rushed into the kitchen and saw Hongli baring her teeth and claws, glaring at her aunt with a murderous look on her face.

"You creature should be destroyed! You top-heavy, non-proportionate fairy, you... ahhhhh, I don't care!"

Nan Xiaoyi: "Huh?"

Xingyun: "Huh?"

"Oh, you guys are here."

Hongling smiled and turned her head, waving to the four people at the door. She walked gently to Hongli's side, patted her shoulder, and her aunt, who had been so small that she had almost disappeared, was back!

"Sweetie, I can understand if Xiaoli is jealous of her aunt, but getting angry won't solve anything!"

"No need to say any more..."

Hong Li, her face grim, slowly pulled a spear from her storage bag: "As long as I kill everyone older than me, I will be the strongest one..."

"Tsk tsk, then you can't kill them all."

If that's the case, then everyone here is your target.

Hongli: "..."

It felt as if a cold arrow had pierced my heart from behind.

"Alright, alright, it's just cooking."

Hongling shook her head and chuckled as she walked to the cutting board, one hand on her hip: "Let your aunt show you how to do it. Watch carefully and learn well."

"So, can I mooch a meal now?!"

Nan Xiaoyi and the others' eyes lit up: "We'll help carry the bowls and chopsticks!"

"Alright, alright, all irrelevant personnel, get out of here."

Hongling waved her hand without turning her head: "Wash your hands clean and get ready for a feast!"

"Okay!"*5

"This is my home, isn't it..."

Hongli muttered under her breath, then frowned, suddenly realizing something was wrong: "Wait, why are there five 'good' sounds..."

"Ah ha ha……"

Xiao Huo, who had already stepped halfway out the door, froze, then turned around with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, Mom, you have to study hard!"

Hongli: "..."

"Traitor! Opportunist!"

"Haha, Little Fire won't bother you anymore, Mom, keep it up!"

"boom!"

The kitchen door was tightly closed.

"Alright, alright, stop looking like you've been hurt and are feeling really bad."

Aunt patted Hongli on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Actually, cooking is a very simple thing."

For beginners, making food truly delicious might be difficult, but making it reasonably palatable is quite easy!

"This is a lie..."

Hongli muttered softly, "Cooking is not such a simple thing..."

"Well, take the ingredients out of your storage bag and let your aunt see what's inside..."

"Huh? Wow, quite a variety! Vegetables, fruits, meat... This must be a snow pigeon!"

Hongling clapped her hands in delight: "This way, we can try more dishes!"

"Tch, acting all professional..."

Hongli subconsciously shrank her head, feeling even smaller in front of her aunt: "I feel it's not as good as... Hongli, um, referring to cooking skills."

Although I'm a beginner, don't think you can beat me just by showing off a few moves...

"First, prepare the ingredients, wash them..."

"I can do that too."

"Next, for the vegetables, let's heat the oil first..."
