"Oh dear, she hasn't even married into your family yet, and she's already started committing domestic violence."
Hong Li snorted coldly: "I don't even want to think about what would happen if I really married you."
"I don't see anything you're afraid to think about, asking such dark questions..."
Hei Yang sighed: "Alright, alright, you still have to fight tomorrow, so get some rest and be in good spirits tomorrow."
"Tch, why didn't you tell me to rest earlier?"
Hong Li snorted coldly: "As expected, you're going to abandon me after you've had your fun, aren't you? You despicable heartless man!"
Besides, they're already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they still sleep every night? I bet only our family would do that, right?
At this point, Hongli paused, peeked at Xiao Huo beside her, and noticed that the handkerchief had moved slightly downwards.
After thinking about it, I figured it was probably making the child feel uncomfortable breathing, so I gently unfolded the handkerchief and put it back on the bedside table.
"Believe it or not, if I draw back the curtains now, you'll see the lights are on outside, the playful ones are still laughing and joking as they did during the day, the diligent ones are still studying hard, and only the lazy dog is yawning and wanting to sleep."
"no way."
Hei Yang shrugged: "Eating and sleeping are the two great pleasures of life. If you don't sleep because you have plenty of energy for cultivation, or you don't eat because you can absorb spiritual energy, you will miss out on two great pleasures and cultivation will become torture."
"Correct, direct, pertinent, incisive, hitting the nail on the head..."
Hongli nodded in agreement: "So, on this beautiful night, just you and me, aren't you going to think about doing something?"
"For example?"
Hei Yang tentatively asked, "Shall I tell you a story to lull you to sleep?"
"Crawl, crawl, crawl! Do you think I'm still seven or eight years old?!"
Hongli covered her face helplessly: "But it's pretty much the same. When we're just chatting, it's always easy to fall asleep when I hear your voice."
"Aren't we chatting right now?"
Hei Yang casually said, "What else do you mean? Are you implying something about me? Do you find listening to me boring?"
"how come!"
Hongli couldn't help but retort, "Listening to someone speak and slowly falling asleep beside them, doesn't that just prove that this person makes you feel at ease?"
I'm complimenting you; it means your voice gives people a sense of security and helps them fall asleep peacefully.
"If that's the case..."
Hei Yang pondered, "Then being a math teacher must be a very reassuring profession. Students can always fall asleep quickly when they listen to him."
Well, to extend that, teaching is a profession that makes people feel very safe!
"Is that right?"
"Trust my logic. When have I ever gone wrong in the things I've analyzed for you?"
Is it possible that I was wrong without even realizing it, and that I've been making the same mistake for so many years?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"..."
"..."
The sound gradually faded, eventually turning into even breathing.
"..."
Little Fire quietly rolled over...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 180 Magikarp used Splash, and the wild Gyarados fell down!
"Teng!"
The Ling Shi headlights suddenly shone on Lu Jiu's face, making his eyes gleam.
"boom!"
Ding Bu slammed his hand on the table, his voice unusually serious: "Speak! Why has there been no progress after all this time!"
"Ah, well, I..."
Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Jiu's forehead as he looked at Duanmu Qiaofeng pleadingly, "Senior Sister, please help me explain to Senior Brother!"
"what……"
Duanmu Qiaofeng covered her mouth, yawned widely, and tears welled up involuntarily: "What explanation? I've been in a bad mood these past few days and haven't had time to talk to you."
"Hurry up, tell your senior brother what you've been doing these past few days... yawn... quickly tell your senior brother what you've been up to, otherwise, otherwise you'll be punished according to the sect rules."
"Oh, this is a punishment according to the sect rules... please don't..."
Lu Jiu's voice trembled slightly. The so-called rules and punishments of the sect were varied and ingenious, but the methods of punishment were almost always the same—to deplete one's luck.
That's right. Those who are punished need to contribute their luck. Before, it was contributed to the sect, but now it's contributed to these two senior brothers and sisters...
You should know that the various techniques and supernatural abilities of the Heavenly Calculation Sect are powerful, but almost all of them require the use of luck. If the luck is insufficient, just by activating spiritual energy, one's strength will be reduced to less than one-tenth!
Not to mention, after losing one's luck, one's overall fortune will decline, making it more difficult to advance in cultivation levels, and one may even encounter misfortune...
Why were the rules so strict before the Heavenly Gate was established?
There are rules in the sect that say that the person who points out the mistakes of others can receive 30% of the luck that the punished person loses. This is much easier than going out to hunt for luck!
The entire sect was set up like a bounty hunter's hunting ground, with everyone constantly on guard against this and that, and every day was a scene of intrigue and betrayal.
Perhaps that's how the Suantianmen people developed their excellent counter-surveillance skills, which allowed them to remain undetected for so long.
However, unity between sects is out of the question. Everyone either cooperates temporarily or goes their own way, creating a very tense atmosphere.
It seems that the sect's secrets were leaked because an elder abused his power for personal gain, took a liking to a disciple with extraordinary luck, and wanted to find a pretext to punish him and steal his luck.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly foolproof plan was disrupted when the disciple suddenly unleashed his power, shouting the slogan "Don't underestimate the young," and directly killed an elder and defected from the sect. A series of escalating tensions ultimately escalated the situation...
Of course, even Lu Jiu, a Golden Core cultivator, wasn't entirely clear on the specific reasons. He had only heard rumors and couldn't deduce the true situation at all.
However, he doesn't need to know too much; he only needs to know that he won't suddenly unleash his full power.
Lu Jiu nodded decisively and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry for trusting you, Senior Brother. However, according to the reports from the disciples I sent over, elders from the Five Elements Sect have been inspecting the family housing area to confirm their safety. I really have no way to do anything about it!"
Think about it, with our current strength and scale, if we were to confront the Five Elements Sect head-on, we would almost certainly have no choice but to run away!
"Yes, that's definitely true..."
Ding Bu nodded, slightly suppressing his anger, but his face remained gloomy: "But it's not like I asked you to capture disciples of the Five Elements Sect. It's just capturing a family member, an ordinary mortal, something as small as an ant. Do you really need to spend so much time on this?"
"But only eight days have passed!"
"A week already, isn't that long enough?!"
Ding Bu angrily said, "You, a mere Golden Core cultivator at the Heavenly Gate, are so hesitant and timid when you try to outsmart an ordinary person. Do you expect it to drag on for a whole year?"
Or perhaps no one lives there at all, and you're just being lazy?!
"There are indeed people living there, you mustn't wrong me about that, senior brother!"
Lu Jiu anxiously explained, "But the disciples said that the other party was very cautious and did not reveal any information about themselves!"
"Hmph, how could that be!"
Ding Bu snorted coldly, looking unconvinced: "Even if you don't know the other person's name, birth date, or anything else, can't you at least tell what they look like and what their gender is from a distance?"
Combined with their location and interpersonal relationships, figuring out their information should be a piece of cake, right?
"This one……"
Lu Jiu almost lowered his head under the table: "The disciples said they couldn't see that guy's appearance or gender..."
Ding Bu: "???"
"No, I said..."
Ding Bu laughed in anger: "You know there's someone in there, but you tell me you don't know what they look like, or even their gender. How did you come to the conclusion that there's someone in there? Were you dreaming about it?"
"No, the disciples say..."
Lu Jiu crouched down under the chair and whispered, "That guy was shrouded in shadow; you could only vaguely see his eyes and mouth. His voice was androgynous, and he occasionally gave a strange smile..."
"You can't even see someone's face clearly, yet you're giving them a weird smile?!"
“This is all…”
Lu Jiu said aggrievedly, "It was all the disciples who said it. I even questioned them separately, and this is the result we got. It can't be that they conspired together, can it?"
"This is impossible!"
Ding Bu snorted coldly: "My disciples will never slack off. Don't try to shift the blame!"
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything."
Duanmu Qiaofeng almost collapsed onto the table: "Ugh, I'm so sleepy. What's wrong with me lately? I just can't seem to muster any energy. I guess I'm lacking in luck..."
"Hmm, junior brother, just admit you weren't taking things seriously. Your senior sister is yawning... really missing your luck!"
"No, no, that's impossible!"
