How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

In this way, you can even bring your boyfriend over to the Five Elements Sect. With our protection, is that alright?

You must know, I'm at the Golden Core stage; a stomp of my foot... and the soles of my shoes tremble twice!

"Just the Golden Core stage..."

Hongli muttered under her breath, "My Heiyang single-handedly arranged for three Golden Core cultivators to participate. Am I proud of that...?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing said."

Hongli shrugged: "In short, we don't need it! We don't need protection, it's our own fault for being robbed!"

The sect has indeed given me a lot, but as long as I make contributions, whether it's providing manpower or money, as long as I have enough to repay the sect, I don't need to be trapped in the sect, right?

In that case, you have no reason for me to stay, right?

"Ah this..."

Kim Soo was stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss for words, unsure of what to say: "Ah, ah..."

"Ha, speechless now?"

Hong Li proudly raised her chin: "I declare that Miss Hong Li has won this debate!"

[Hei Yang: Hong Li! Awesome! I'm your biggest fan!]

[Hongli: Hehe, basic stuff, basic stuff, you're so rich! I'm your little fangirl!]

[Hei Yang, Hong Li: Hehe!]

"Wait……"

At some point, Elder Shui Ran removed the water shield and suddenly spoke up: "May I say a few words?"

"Ah this..."

Hong Li's heart skipped a beat, and then another guy suddenly appeared: "Could I ask you not to say a word?"

"Don't worry, after listening to your reasonable argument, I think you're right. We shouldn't keep pressing you."

Shui Ran sighed: "Just like with the sect leader back then, if it happened again, I would still let him go."

"and many more!"

Jin Xiu's eyes widened suddenly: "Senior brother, you went easy on me?!"

"Ah, yes."

Shui Ran turned her head and forced a smile: "Huo Le, Tu Lou, Mu Ling, and me, none of us were really serious back then."

"Oh, back then, there was one among us who was serious. Junior sister, guess who it was?"

"I'll guess ******"

Kim Soo's forehead was covered in countless tic-tac-toe marks, and he instantly broke down: "You guys, you guys, you just want me to be the bad guy all by myself, huh!"

I knew it! I knew we were all trying so hard to stop our senior brother, but he still managed to get away!

So, it turns out I was the only one producing output, while you guys were all just slacking off!!!

Shui Ran: "Cough cough."

Huo Le: "Cough cough."

Mubu, an elder of the Tulou who was observing the plants and soil, frowned: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like coughing."

"coincidence."

Mu Ling and he exchanged a glance.

"Cough cough!" *2

"Pfft!"

Hongli covered her mouth, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she jumped up and stood up straight: "Um, I wasn't laughing, I meant, um, cough cough!"

Kim Soo: "Waaaaah, you guys, you're all bullying me!"

Kim Soo's eyes were red, and she cried like a little girl who was over a hundred years old.

"Ah this..."

Shui Ran turned her head away guiltily, not daring to look at Jin Xiu anymore, and instead looked at Hong Li.

"I agree to let you go back, little girl. As long as you are still a disciple of my Five Elements Sect, you don't need to return anything. After all, the resources are for you disciples. It would be awkward to send them out and then take them back."

Shui Ran said, "However, there's a condition, and I hope you can agree to it."

"You say."

Hongli asked, half excited and half wary, "Tell me first, and then I'll decide whether to agree or not!"

"Yes, that's right. Everyone in the sect is doing their job and fulfilling their responsibilities."

Shui Ran said gently, "It is our duty as elders to charge into battle outside and protect the safety of the sect."

The duty of the disciples in the sect is to grow up quickly, become stronger through cultivation, and otherwise not to cause us any unnecessary trouble.

I think you know the reason for the mountain closure, little girl. It's to avoid provoking the Rolling Waves Sect and for the sake of harmony in the cultivation world. Could you please wait until the closure ends before returning home?

"Well, although I'm a little reluctant..."

Hongli muttered under her breath, "But it is indeed a reasonable request."

"So you agreed?"

"I'm not so stubborn as to refuse such a request..."

Hongli sighed: "But it will be locked down for a few more days. Please tell me a more specific time, otherwise I'll always be anxious."

"Well, as for time."

Shui Ran turned her head to look behind her and frowned: "Well, because we just discovered that this is the ruins of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from an alien sea beast. There are many places that need to be carefully explored."

Moreover, there are many traps and mechanisms targeting our human cultivators, and even the descendants of that Nascent Soul stage demon beast could launch a surprise attack...

Well, if we proceed steadily, it will probably take about five years, which isn't too long.

"Oh, five days? That's still..."

Hongli blinked: "Huh? Huh? Huh?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 177 My life would be happy if I could just lie around and drift through life like this.

"Phew, how could I possibly wait five years!"

At Huobu's home, Hongli sat cross-legged on the bed, angrily counting on her fingers: "Five years ago I was only twelve years old, and five years later I will be twenty-two!"

I haven't even had four five-year periods in my life yet, how could I possibly wait five years!

Black Sun, can you wait five years? Little Fire, can you wait five years? I certainly can't!

"what?"

Little Fire peeked out from beside the bed: "What is Mommy talking about? And where did Mommy go during the day without taking Little Fire with her?"

"Ah, Mom went out to yell and curse during the day, so she can't do anything with the kids."

Hongli rolled her eyes and reached out to press Xiaohuo's head back into its little nest: "Alright, alright, it's already evening, the little one should continue sleeping."

"But……"

Little Fire whispered, "Little Fire already slept during the day, so I'm not sleepy now..."

"Go to sleep quickly, or you'll make Mom knock you out."

"Ah! Little Fire is so sleepy, Little Fire has fallen asleep."

"So nice."

Hong Li smiled and lay back on the bed: "Hong Li has put the child to sleep again!"

[Hei Yang: "Lulling to Sleep"]

Hei Yang glanced at Hong Li and couldn't help but complain, "I'm starting to think that we shouldn't have any children in the future, otherwise they'll just suffer with us..."

"Hey, who are you implying something about!"

Hong Li gave me a dead fish look: "Isn't it all thanks to me that Xiao Huo has grown up like this? Do you know how hard it was for me, a single mother, to raise her!"

"Ah, yes, yes, although the child has a strong will to live..."

Hei Yang bowed respectfully: "But I still thank Madam Hong Li for her mercy in sparing the child's life."

"Wow, you..."

Hong Li said speechlessly, "You went through all sorts of hardships and crossed an entire world to get here just to annoy me?"

"Shouldn't you be doing something more meaningful?"

"Something more meaningful..."

Hei Yang shrugged: "I'll try to find a legitimate reason to... annoy you in the future!"
