How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Old Wang sat by the window, quietly watching the empty street. The pale sunlight shone on the dark red stone pavement, reflecting in his gray eyes.

The footsteps behind him were heavy, which Old Wang could understand, given that the other person was carrying a giant axe.

He wondered what words he should leave behind to ensure his departure with dignity.

He didn't have time to think...

It's so nice; the small town is finally quiet.

"Snapped"

The book was closed.

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

"very good."

Hong Li said expressionlessly, "I'm adding another author to my blacklist."

"Leaving aside the content."

Hei Yang said quietly, "It's quite well written."

Is it possible that two or more pseudonyms on your blacklist are actually the same person using multiple pseudonyms?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Hong Li rubbed her temples, sealed the book away, and slid her head from Hei Yang's shoulder into his arms.

"I've decided, next time I see my aunt, I'll give her this book! Sharing is happiness!"

"Good niece, I support sharing justice!"

Hei Yang, with his red glass head coiled up, agreed, "When you get hung up on the roof and whipped, remember to let me know so I can come and watch the fun."

"Oh."

Hong Li revealed her dead fish eyes, letting Hei Yang use her long hair to block her vision, and said unhappily, "Are you watching the show and also helping to whip someone a few times?"

"I really don't have that idea."

Hei Yang waved his hand: "Do you want to keep watching?"

"No, we're almost there."

Hongli rolled over and lay on Heiyang's lap. Seeing her mother looking excitedly outside, she could guess what was going on.

"After we get to Grandpa's house, let's find a quiet place to play... Wait, why are you keeping poking my head? Do you think it's not round enough or what?"

Hong Li raised her eyes, trying to see the large hand on her head, and couldn't help but complain, "I feel like you're going to rip my skull off any second now."

"Oh right, I even smashed your skull."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and scoffed, "I like playing with plates, is there a problem?"

"I'll splatter your brains all over you."

"Mom, Hongli is swearing!"

"Snitching is truly shameless."

"..."

"..."

Lan Yuying's hometown is a small town called Tianxiang, which is much smaller than Wuse City and doesn't have any particularly large families, but there are quite a few small families like the Lan family.

Hongli was still very curious about why her father had come here and how he had met her mother, but unfortunately, neither of her parents had told her.

That was a secret between the couple. Perhaps Hong Li was just an accident. It's tragic.

The airship stopped far out on the outskirts of the city. After all, if it were to drive directly into the city, it would definitely cause some disturbance or even panic, which was not what anyone wanted to see.

Hong Xiaochen was still a little dazed when he was woken up. He was probably surprised to find himself in the place the moment he opened his eyes.

After all, two hours is far too short. If Hei Yang Hong Li hadn't read so quickly, she might not have even been able to finish that heavyweight "horror novel."

To her parents' astonishment, Hongli Heiyang shrunk the airship and put the gifts she had brought into her storage bag.

"Shall we leave?"

Hongli wrapped her coat tighter, turned to look at her family, and asked for their opinions.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Lan Yuying looked impatient, unlike her gentle and quiet self at home. At this moment, she was more like a child who was about to return home, excited and thrilled.

"Come on, everyone, hold hands and follow me!"

Lan Yuying smiled and said, "The layout of Tianxiang City is slightly different from that of Five Colors City, but don't worry, you won't get lost if you follow me!"

These words were mainly directed at Hei Yang and Xiao Huo, since it wasn't the first time Hong Li and her parents had come.

Seeing his wife's happy and lively appearance, Hong Xiaochen couldn't help but smile.

He thought back to when he first met Yu Ying, she had this kind of personality, but after having Xiao Li, she began to become more like a mother.

Little Huo held one of his parents' hands in each hand, his smile radiant amidst the black sun and red glass.

With about fifteen minutes to go before the estimated arrival time of 11:00, the sun was slowly moving towards its highest point.

However, it's only January now, so it doesn't feel hot at noon.

Hong Li yawned, turned to look at Hei Yang, and found that the latter's eyes were slightly red, and he was looking at the surrounding scenery with a look of novelty. She couldn't help but laugh.

"So, isn't Five-Colored City quite different now?"

Hong Li chuckled and said, "I was completely clueless when I first came here. I thought I had entered another world."

There are many things you can't see in Five-Colored City, well, of course, Five-Colored City has even more things.

"That's it..."

Hei Yang nodded as he curiously looked around.

As the group drew closer to Tianxiang City, Lan Yuying grew increasingly excited, while Hei Yang and Hong Li showed expressions of slight confusion.

"Hello..."

Hei Yang gently picked up Xiao Huo, brought him close to Hong Li, and whispered, "Did you hear anything?"

"No."

Hong Li shook her head, a faint red light faintly visible in her eyes, her face also filled with confusion.

“There was almost no sound.”

It was broad daylight, nearly noon, yet the city before me was eerily quiet.

"Was it like this when you first came here?"

Hei Yang asked Hong Li in a low voice, "Is the daily routine of the people here different from that of our Five Colors City?"

"no……"

Hongli shook her head and said honestly, "I didn't feel anything different. Logically speaking, the atmosphere shouldn't be like this..."

"Logically speaking..."

Hei Yang and Hong Li both looked up at the same time, recalling a sentence they had just seen.

It's so nice; the small town is finally quiet.

"Damn!" *2

"I'm reporting you for swearing!" *2

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

"should……"

Hei Yang's lips twitched: "No way? Something that absurd?"

"Uh... absolutely impossible!"

Hongli's expression stiffened: "Maybe they're celebrating some kind of 'everyone covers their mouth and keeps quiet' festival?"

"There's such a festival?"

"Nonsense, of course not!"

The two exchanged a glance, then moved closer to Lan Yuying and Hong Xiaochen and told them what they had discovered.

“Gugugugugugu…”

"Ok?"

Hong Xiaochen was taken aback, her pupils dilated slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, only to look at her daughter and son-in-law with a serious expression, confirming once again.

"You didn't hear anything?"

"Actually, I did hear some of it..."

Hongli added, "It's just that the sound is so quiet that it can be ignored."
