How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hongli was startled, then quickly came to her senses and spoke up.

"Okay, okay, Mom, I'm listening to everything you say!"

"Well, that's pretty much it!"

Her mother continued to patiently explain, and Hongli looked at her mother with a serious expression, but her mind was completely unsettled. The reason was simple...

Hongli lowered her head, her face flushed, clutching her dress, and occasionally stealing glances at Heiyang not far away, her heart pounding wildly.

“Da da da da”

Hei Yang stared expressionlessly at the vegetables on the cutting board, his left hand holding the board and his right hand constantly waving the cleaver, looking completely emotionless as he worked alongside his mother, Qing Yiyi, who was washing vegetables beside him, processing one ingredient after another.

This isn't a New Year's Eve dinner; it's just that my fellow disciples are about to leave, and as a polite and well-mannered child whom my mother expects, it's only right and proper to treat them to a meal before they go.

Yes, that's right. They are now in the kitchen of his and Hongli's new home. Actually, Heiyang was wondering if he and Hongli would really need a kitchen.

Unexpectedly, the new house was put into use not long after it was completed.

Just a few hours ago, he and Hongli had moved their things from home over, and before they could even rest properly or get familiar with the house, their mothers dragged them over.

But then again, this house is really nice!

At least for Hei Yang, living in this kind of house would be very comfortable.

The room is well-lit, with suitable temperature and humidity, and the layout of the rooms is neat and reasonable.

Furthermore, the house was built from scratch, with suggestions personally offered by him and Hong Li, and the work carried out by outstanding disciples from a prestigious immortal sect like the Five Elements Sect. Hei Yang couldn't be more satisfied!

Also... Xiao Li looks pretty today!

It wasn't that she wasn't cute before, it's just that the other person suddenly changed into a dress and a single ponytail, which really surprised Hei Yang.

He remembered that Xiao Li didn't really like wearing skirts...

And it seems like she's been glancing over here the whole time?

With his hands moving non-stop, Hei Yang could chop vegetables and do it all by relying on his body's instincts with his eyes closed. Although the quantity was not small, it was still very easy for him.

[Black Sun: Hey! What are you staring at me for?!]

"Ahoo!"

"boom!"

A muffled thud was heard, causing Qing Yiyi and Hei Yang to turn their heads to look. They saw Lan Yuying smiling helplessly, while Hong Li held the pot lid that she had accidentally torn in half with both hands, her lips twitching.

"Oh, this, that, this..."

Hongli's face grew increasingly red, and she mumbled softly, "I, I didn't mean to, it was just, it was an accident, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a pot lid."

Qing Yiyi was the first to react and quickly comforted her with a smile, "As long as the boiling water in the pot doesn't burn Xiaoli, it's more important that she's not hurt."

"Even if the pot explodes, it won't hurt her..."

Hei Yang's muttered complaints drifted over.

"Shut up, Xiao Yang!"

"Okay, Mom!"

Hei Yang was usually silenced, but seeing that nothing was wrong over there, he continued chopping the vegetables in his hands.

"Go wash your hands, then come back and watch carefully as Mom teaches you a few more times."

Lan Yuying shook her head and chuckled: "You have to be patient and not impatient."

"Uh, well..."

Hongli wanted to explain something, but in the end, she helplessly lowered her head, shook her hands, and washed the soup off her hands by passing through the water sphere formed by spiritual energy.

"Um, Mom, please continue. I'm fine."

"Alright, now let's look at this next step..."

[Black Sun: Hey, isn't that a bit too much of a reaction?]

[Hongli: Damn it! How dare you say that! It's all your fault! You made me look bad!]

[Hongli: It's all your fault! I was so focused and attentive, absorbing all the new knowledge, and then you sent me a message that almost scared me to death!]

[Black Sun: Huh? I remember, these are different ways to set message notifications, right? Isn't there a way to have no sound at all?]

[Hongli: You're just spouting nonsense! Of course I set the loudest notification for you! What else?!]

[Hongli: Wait, isn't this the kind of character you designed for me?!]

[Heiyang: Uh, yeah, what's wrong?]

[Hongli: That settles it then! Anyway, you scared me half to death and made me lose face in front of my moms! That damned Heiyang, you deserve to die!]

[Hei Yang: Tch, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Bah, I have nothing to fear from Yang's letter!]

[Hei Yang: If you didn't have something to hide, would you be scared?]

[Hongli: Hu, what are you talking about! It's all nonsense, I don't understand what you're saying!]

[Hei Yang: Then let me be frank, why have you been glancing at me like that?]

[Hei Yang: Even if you're after my looks, you don't need to keep peeking at me while I'm cooking, do you? Once it's just the two of us left, you can look all you want, okay?]

Hongli: ...

[Hei Yang: Why aren't you saying anything?]

[Hongli: Ugh, what are you talking about? You bastard, if you hadn't looked at me first, how would you have known I was looking at you?]

[Black Sun: Tsk tsk.]

[Hongli: Oh dear, okay, fine, I just peeked at you, so what?!]

[Hong Li: You're mine, I can look at you however I want!]

[Black Sun: Tsk tsk.]

[Hongli: Damn!]

"Xiao Li? Xiao Li?"

My mother's voice came from beside me: "Why are you spacing out again? Are you not feeling well?"

"Oh, no, no!"

Hongli quickly waved her hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was thinking about the steps you just mentioned, Mom. It felt different from what Aunt taught me before, so I was a little confused. But I've figured it out now! Haha, hahaha!"

"That's it!"

Lan Yuying suddenly realized and nodded.

"If you still have any questions, please let me know."

"Okay! I understand!"

Hongli nodded obediently, letting out a sigh of relief.

[Hongli: Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth.]

[Black Sun: Hmm?]

[Hongli: So... Heiyang, do you think my clothes, hairstyle, and overall look are good? I mean, do you think they're pretty?]

[Hei Yang: Of course! My Xiao Li looks beautiful no matter how she's dressed up. I wouldn't say she's prettier than before, but she has her own unique charm!]

[Hongli: You're the one who's unique!]

[Black Sun: ?]

[Black Sun: ???]

[Hongli: Ahem, um, ignore that sentence above, ignore it, ignore it.]

[Hongli: Honestly, is it really that good?]

[Hongli: I feel, well, how should I put it, that's the feeling...]

[Hongli: I know it's normal for girls to wear skirts, but I just feel like some of them are a bit...]

[Black Sun: Shy?]

[Hongli: Uh, maybe a little bit, but there's also something else... I can't quite put my finger on it. Exciting? Nervous? Scared?]

[Black Sun: Very beautiful.]

[Hongli: Phew, since you say so, fine...]

[Hongli: Do you want me to wear this for you forever?]

[Hongli: If you want...]

[Hei Yang: No need. Wear whatever you like. I like you, not the clothes.]

[Hong Li: !!!]

[Hongli: My best friend! My best brother! My best boyfriend! My best husband! I knew you were the best! Long live understanding!]

[Hongli: Also, you look really handsome in your new outfit! It's making my eyes sparkle with hearts!]
