"I said……"
Hongli looked at her boyfriend and daughter with suspicion and asked, "Why is Xiaohuo suddenly so clingy to you? What kind of spell did you cast on my daughter while I was away?"
"She kept giving me a long face after you left, so I had to figure out a way to coax her."
Hei Yang pulled a chair out of his storage bag, sat down, crossed his legs, and casually said, "It's nothing more than taking the kids out to play, buying whatever delicious food or fun things we see in the city."
"Ew, so this is favorability gained through spending money, huh!"
Hongli scoffed, a disdainful expression on her face: "This kind of goodwill is fake, unstable, shallow, and hypocritical..."
"The total cost of the small sparks isn't as much as your necklace."
"Ahem, this..."
Hongli choked abruptly, withdrew her hand, touched the silver necklace on her chest, and remained expressionless.
"Well, what I wanted to say was, we can't let the kids suffer, right? Hei Yang did a great job, so I'll give him a special shout-out! Clap clap!"
"But then again..."
Hong Li squinted at Xiao Huo, who was grinning foolishly, and said speechlessly, "Hei Yang can win you over with just a little food. You're too easily satisfied, aren't you?"
Look at your mother, I've struggled for over a decade!
"And Black Sun, you too..."
Hong Li glanced at Hei Yang and admonished him, "Don't be stingy with that little bit of money. Spend it when you need to. You need to let Xiao Huo see more of the world and broaden his horizons."
Otherwise, if some random little male crane appears out of nowhere and steals us away with a few words, we two empty-nest old folks will be crying our eyes out together!
"Ah this!"
Hei Yang was suddenly startled: "Hearing Li's words is better than reading books for ten years!"
"No, that's not true."
Little Fire popped its head out and retorted, "Little Fire wasn't won over by the delicious food! Little Fire simply loves Daddy!"
"uh-huh?"
Hong Li raised an eyebrow.
"Humph."
Hei Yang smiled smugly and gave Hong Li a disdainful look.
"That's why they say there's no harm without comparison. The kid suffered when he was little, but now the hard times are finally over."
"whispering sound."
Hong Li glanced at Hei Yang: "A lazy dog is still a lazy dog no matter what. It won't be long before Xiao Huo sees through your true colors."
Hei Yang: "!!!"
"And that little fire one too! Don't get too cocky!"
Hongli pointed at Xiaohuo and snorted, "Today you can betray your mother because of your father, but tomorrow you might abandon your parents for Xiaogonghe. Humph, you fickle and heartless woman!"
Little Fire: "!!!"
Black Sun and Little Fire: "Slander! Absolutely slander!"
"..."
Watching the family of three laughing and joking around beside her, Yao Yang subconsciously smiled, but accidentally tugged at the wound on the corner of her mouth, causing her to involuntarily gasp.
"Hiss... Ha, please excuse the two fellow Daoists and the little one."
Yao Yang noticed that Hei Yang Hong Li was looking over, so she tried to get up, but Hong Li held her down and she couldn't get up, so she had to give up.
"Thank you both for your help!"
Unable to perform the proper etiquette with her hands wrapped in bandages, Yao Yang couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile, though her face was obscured, so no one could see her embarrassment.
"So I said..."
Hei Yang looked at Yao Yang speechlessly and couldn't help but complain, "Hong Li, why did you wrap her up like a dumpling?"
"Is it your fault?"
Hong Li shrugged and rolled her eyes.
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not in her shoes. She was injured so badly, her spiritual energy was depleted, her meridians were broken in countless places, and there was still demonic energy raging around her wounds. I had no choice but to bandage her up completely."
At this point, Hongli sighed.
"Also, our healing pills should be updated. A lot of them are for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, which are not very useful for her Golden Core stage."
After searching for a long time, I finally found some useful herbs, so I used them on her.
"Speaking of the update of elixirs..."
Hei Yang's expression changed.
[Black Sun: Speaking of which, I have some bad news for you.]
[Hongli: Huh?! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!]
[Hongli: As long as I don't know, this bad news won't take effect!]
[Black Sun: ...]
[Black Sun: The little bit of wealth I brought back from the capital is all gone...]
[Hong Li: !!!]
[Hei Yang: The disciples and elders of Tianmen have already spent almost half of their money...]
[Hong Li: !!!]
[Hei Yang: So our family is about to fall into a financial crisis. As the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, you must be very rich now, right?]
[Hongli: Hmm...?]
[Hei Yang: So, it's time for you, little rich woman, to support me! I'm already poor!]
[Hongli: How could this be?!]
[Hongli: I didn't take a single penny when I left, and I even left all my spirit stones behind. Now I'm a penniless wretch...]
[Hong Li: I'm the sect leader now, so I should be the one distributing money to others, not taking any!]
[Hongli: I'm still waiting for you to take care of me!]
[Black Sun: Ah, this...]
[Hongli: Am I already going to have a hard life before we're even married? Waaaaah, Hongli, you're so pitiful!]
[Hei Yang: Ahem, although we don't have many spirit stones left, we still have quite a few valuable items on us, right?]
[Hei Yang: Putting everything else aside, dragon meat and shark meat, two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they could sell for a lot of money, right?]
[Black Sun: And this airship, isn't that money too?]
[Hongli: Aren't those things only sold when there's absolutely no other way?]
[Hongli: Besides, if this airship is sold again, it will be the third time! The buyer will definitely drive down the price, making us lose a fortune!]
[Hongli: But we just killed two Golden Core demon beasts, right? Let's keep the tasty parts and sell the rest to recoup some money!]
[Hongli: Also, this Grand Elder of the Medicine King Sect must be rich, right? We saved her, and she even smashed our airship. It's not unreasonable for her to offer some compensation, is it?]
[Black Sun: That's not excessive at all!]
[Hongli: Right, right.]
[Hei Yang: Let me find out about her background. Remember to cover for me!]
[Hongli: You can rest assured about my work!]
"Yeah, right."
Hei Yang suddenly spoke, looking at Yao Yang with a puzzled expression: "You are the Grand Elder of the Medicine King Sect, don't you carry any healing pills with you?"
"!!!"
Yao Yang's eyes widened suddenly, and she sat up in surprise: "How did you know me..."
"Oh dear, what's wrong with saying this?"
Hongli waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Those two monsters that were chasing you told us!"
[Black Sun: I don't remember.]
[Hongli: Of course, those two guys barely have any lines. I made that up.]
"!!!"
Yao Yang's eyes widened again, she sat up again, and was startled once more.
"Those two monsters! Have they caught up with us? Are they chasing us? I'm so sorry for causing you trouble, I..."
"Don't get excited."
Hei Yang was holding a tiger head in his hand. Hong Li glanced at him and pulled out a bird head as well: "It's already dead."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
