How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Lan Yuying was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and smiled, "What's wrong? Xiaoyun isn't full? Would you like another bowl?"

"No, I'm full!"

Xingyun smiled and pursed her lips.

"Haha, I just think it's great. I'm so envious of Sister Hongli for having such a good mother like Auntie. I'm so envious."

"Hey, what's there to envy?"

Lan Yuying couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong with that? Every family is like this. Xiaoyun's mother will love Xiaoyun just the same, right?"

Hmm... I guess so?

"Ok?"

Lan Yuying was somewhat surprised.

"That's right, because some bad things happened when I was a child..."

Xingyun smiled, her eyes a little red: "So, Xiaoyun doesn't have a mother anymore, haha..."

Well, no, Dad is Dad, and Dad is also Mom, hahaha!

Actually, Dad can do everything, he knows everything, he's amazing, I admire him so much, um, but...

Hmm, his cooking tends to burn easily, and he won't let anyone help him, haha. It tastes a bit bitter at first, but it gets better slowly!

"..."

"..."

The room suddenly became quiet, which made Xingyun shift her body uneasy.

"What, what's wrong..."

Xingyun whispered, "Did I say something wrong? Did I... make everyone unhappy...?"

"Cough, no, how could that be?"

Lan Yuying picked up the water glass next to her, took a sip, smiled, and looked at him with loving eyes.

"Auntie was just lost in thought for a moment. She was thinking about how Xiao Li and Xiao Yang secretly found someone to help build a house without telling us. Those two little devils, haha."

"Ahem, Ga Ga, try this too. It's nutritious and will help you grow taller!"

"Gaga wants to eat, wants to grow tall, and then protect mommy, gaga!"

"..."

"That's why it's so great!"

Xingyun stretched and laughed out loud. Suddenly remembering something, she asked curiously, "Speaking of which, where's Xiao Huo? I haven't seen her. Is she sleeping in her room?"

"Little Fire, she's been kidnapped by her grandparents."

Lan Yuying pouted, looking annoyed, and said, "Damn it, what Yiyi and the others did is no different from kidnapping a child. They took Xiao Huo away when I wasn't paying attention. How awful!"

"Pfft haha..."

Xingyun was amused by Lan Yuying's expression and burst out laughing, chuckling as she encouraged, "Then let's go snatch it back!"

"Yeah, right, let's take it back! We'll go steal it after we finish this meal!"

Lan Yuying nodded with a hum: "Xiaoyun, eat some more of the food on the table, otherwise you won't have the energy to go later!"

"Oh dear, how could that be? I am... um?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xingyun had several pieces of green vegetables stuffed into her mouth. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Huh?!"

"Eating more vegetables is good for your health; you shouldn't be a picky eater."

Lan Yuying nodded as she continued to feed Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, you're not even as tall as Xiaoli, how can that be? Eat up, don't be a picky eater like her. She didn't inherit my or her dad's excellent physique at all, she just didn't like this or that when she was little..."

"Ugh, ugh, too much, too much, I can't eat anymore..."

"..."

"Ah!"

Hongli suddenly felt an itch on her nose and couldn't help but sneeze.

"uh-huh?"

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "Caught a cold? Can a Golden Core cultivator catch a cold?"

"what!"

Hong Li pouted and said speechlessly, "Someone's talking bad about me, you idiot Hei Yang!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Hei Yang's eyes widened: "Why don't we just take action now?"

"Ah this..."

Hong Li's lips twitched: "Well, I can't beat them, and I'll get beaten up."

"!!!"

Hei Yang was shocked: "How could this be?! I'll help you fight?!"

"Uh, it's my mom talking badly about me..."

"Cough cough, you stinky Hongli, how dare you make my mother-in-law angry! I'll give you a beating on her behalf!"

"Damn, what the hell is this 'color-changing Yang'?"

Hong Li pursed her lips speechlessly, clapped her hands, and attracted the attention of all the disciples.

"Alright, alright, everyone look over here! Look at me! I have something to announce."

Hongli smiled and said, "Now, let's get started on the tasks we discussed and assigned earlier, and create the fastest legend in Five Colors City!"

"Oh oh oh!!!" *n

安！

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 257 Occasionally, the smell of cooking smoke reminds me of the days I ran around in my grandmother's courtyard—that's the taste of home.

The foundation, walls, and gate were rapidly forming under the surge of spiritual energy.

The disciples from the Earth and Wood departments worked together, and the basic shape of a large house quickly appeared before their eyes.

In fact, if it weren't for the need to pay attention to various details, such a small matter could be completed by one or two disciples, without requiring so much effort.

In Hei Yang and Hong Li's imagination, all they needed to do was make a matchbox-shaped shelter for them from the wind and rain.

As a result, the disciples were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, saying that how could such a simple building be allowed for their sect leader to live in?

Since they're here, we should do things to the highest standards!

They are professionals in this area!

Well, half a minute later, a flame leaped from Hong Li's palm and burned the "design blueprint" in her hand to ashes.

Hongli and Heiyang, looking dazed, found a small corner and squatted side by side, watching these older brothers and sisters display their prowess.

"Attention!"

A senior disciple from the Earth Department waved a brick in his hand and shouted, "Everyone in Five-Colored City uses these patterned bricks and stones to build their houses. Everyone should pay attention and make sure that the sect leader's house doesn't look out of place. It should blend perfectly with the surrounding environment. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Look at me, look at me!"

A female student from the Wood Department unfolded a painting she had just finished and showed it to everyone.

Before joining the sect, this senior sister was a proper young lady from a prominent family. She was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Unlike those two lazybones, she didn't look like a young master or young lady at all.

"I just consulted with the sect leader and the others, and we've decided that the pattern on the gate should look like this!"

My senior sister smiled brightly and explained, "It should resemble the intertwining of flames and flowing water, with a symmetrical and repetitive beauty. Most importantly, you have to control the patterns on the door to achieve a seamless and natural appearance!"

"understand!"

"Pay attention! In the courtyard and at the main gate, the trees should be arranged like this. Take a good look!"

Here, in front of the door, there's an evergreen tree...

And on this side of the yard, there's an apricot tree.

There's a pomegranate tree in this little corner, then plant a few jujube trees over here, and a big ginkgo tree over here for shade...

Hmm? Sect Master, do you eat persimmons?

"Oh, everyone, listen up! Absolutely no persimmon trees! The sect leader and the others don't like them. Remember, I'll repeat myself: no persimmon trees!"

“I think we could make a small pond here and raise a few ornamental fish. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

What? The sect leaders said they're too lazy to feed them? I see! I'll think of another way!

"Attention everyone, the study, living room, dining room, bedroom..."

These are things I've emphasized many times: pay attention to lighting, and allocate space and area appropriately!
