How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hongli: "Ha, a bet's a bet. I knew she'd be the first to jump, right?"

Hei Yang: "Tch, I'm just letting you have your way... I know, I know, it's just an hour of back massage, why are you scheming against me like this!"

Hei Yang Hong Li's expression was calm, and she even seemed about to yawn.

"Whoosh! Hey!"

Under the watchful eyes of the four, Xingyun's spiritual energy surged, erecting a protective shield. She then performed an invincible roll and landed smoothly.

"Sister Hongli!!!"

Xingyun suddenly pounced on Hongli, hugging her like a koala and bursting into tears.

"I miss you so much. Every day you're not here, I can't eat or sleep, I'm just not feeling well, sob sob sob..."

After choking back a sob, Xingyun continued to wail.

"I didn't even respond when guys tried to talk to me, sob sob, do you know how much I miss you?"

"Oh, what you're saying really touches me..."

Hong Li's lips twitched, she tilted her head back, and said awkwardly.

"However, what I'm more curious about is, why would any guys try to chat you up..."

I think people like that... well, they're either stupid or malicious!

Xingyun: "???"

"so……"

Hongli pulled Xingyun off her and said speechlessly, "What did he say?"

"Uh……"

Xingyun scratched her head: "He just said, 'Junior sister, would you like to check out our newly opened herbal medicine shop? There are discounts for members right now, and everyone in the industry says you're a big spender or something...'"

"Ah this..."

Hong Li revealed her crescent-shaped eyes.

Big spender (×)

The greatest injustice ( )

To be honest, this was what worried her most about Xingyun after she left. She was afraid that one day Xingyun would be holding a bunch of membership cards and the two of them would starve to death at home.

hiss……

That scene was so cruel and terrifying; just thinking about it makes the kind-hearted Xiao Hongli tremble!

No, I need to find an opportunity to correct this bad habit of theirs, otherwise they'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!

"Oh, right, let me introduce you..."

Hongli's mind was filled with thoughts, but she helped the two sides introduce themselves: "My two cousins, Hei Hui and Hong Qiao."

"Yes, this is Xingyun, my good friend from the Five Elements Sect."

"Wow!"

Xingyun's eyes lit up: "Sister Hongli's family also has two adorable little girls! Yay!"

"Uh……"

Hong Qiao and Hei Hui looked at each other, then turned back and gave each other polite smiles.

"Hello, Sister Xingyun!"

"Chi chi chi chi..."

"Trash trash trash..."

"..."

Hei Yang glanced at the girls beside him, sighed, and looked up at the sky, where a small crane was still slowly drifting down.

"quack--"

Gaa fluttered his wings, looking puzzled. Where was he? What happened? Wasn't he just in his mother's arms?!

"So, Hongli and I have really taken good care of Xiaohuo."

Hei Yang couldn't help but complain, and with his spiritual power, he opened his palm and caught Little Gaga.

Gaga shook its head, jumped from Hei Yang's hand to his shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Gaga! Thanks! Uncle!"

"Oh, you're welcome."

Hei Yang waved his hand, somewhat curiously asking, "She's already four months old, right? Why is she still speaking so haltingly?"

"Giggle, still so young!"

"alright."

After most of the day had passed, Xingyun, who had discovered that Gaga was missing, rushed over and apologized with a guilty look on her face. Only after promising that it would not happen again was she able to bring Gaga back.

Xingyun's early jump only allowed her to land two or three minutes earlier than her companions.

Under the control of the old captain Hong Ling, the airship landed steadily in an open area on the outskirts of the city. The disciples of the Earth and Wood Departments filed out, looking around with curiosity.

"Is this Five-Colored City? It's definitely different from the cities back home. There aren't even any houses here!"

"Damn, this is the outskirts of the country!"

"Well, although... this place is a bit different from what I imagined, or rather, it's more ordinary than I expected!"

"Hmm? What are you imagining?"

"The lava flows, the waves surge, light and shadow intertwine, dividing the city."

On a throne constructed of flames and flowing water sat a divine couple.

The boy and girl stared at each other expressionlessly, their gazes a mixture of heat and cold.

The billowing steam stains the mortal world, unveiling this magnificent, epic love story!

"Uh, I have nothing to say."

"Let's get started! Let's get started! I can't wait to build a house for Senior Sister Hongli, oh oh oh!"

"Strive to complete it within half a day, setting a new record for the fastest completion in Five Colors City!"

"Half a day? Who do you think you are? I said three hours!"

"One hour!"

"ten minutes!"

“Three seconds!”

"This one is even more of a heavyweight!"

"Uh……"

Seeing the disciples' high spirits, Hong Li couldn't help but reveal her crescent-shaped eyes.

"Although I really want to get started as soon as possible, it's a bit too much to ask you to do work so soon after you arrive..."

With a sigh, Hong Li glanced at Hong Ling, who was walking slowly over. Seeing the latter's displeased expression, Hong Li took small steps to Hei Yang's side, grabbed his arm, snorted, and revealed a smug look.

Hongli: "Hmph~"

Hongling: "..."

"You brat! You're going to die!"

Hongling thought she had adjusted her mindset and could show the demeanor of an elder towards Hongli's previous impolite behavior, smiling calmly and not caring much.

But as soon as this guy saw her, he immediately grabbed his boyfriend's arm and rubbed his face against it with a comfortable expression. He looked... so annoying! Forget about being a proper elder!

"You brat! I think you're asking for a beating!"

Hongling rushed forward, baring her teeth and claws, and pinched Hongli's face repeatedly.

"I'll teach you to show off in front of me! I'll teach you to laugh at me! I'll teach you to take advantage of your weakness!"

"Oh no!!! Help! Someone's panicked! Someone's attacking people!"

Hongli cried out for help: "Is anyone there? Help! Heiyang, my lovely girlfriend is being bullied! Didn't you see?!"

"Uh... that..."

Hei Yang blinked, then looked at Hong Li, who was clinging tightly to his arm, coughed twice, and chuckled awkwardly.

"Auntie, please make yourself at home, don't be shy, hahaha!"

Hongli: "!!!"

"Hei Yang, you're disloyal! You've lost your love! The feelings have faded!"

Hongli, looking utterly defeated, had her face rubbed: "And Auntie, I'm still a child!"

"It is forbidden to take advantage of one's small size!"

"Then you can also take advantage of your age!"

You're the old one!
