The tradition ingrained in my soul tells me that the lazier our race is, the stronger we become.
"Damn it, what an enviable racial talent!" *2
Black Sun and Red Glass are eating lemons; some otters are born at the finish line...
“At that time, my limbs were weak and powerless, and it was difficult for me to move. So I just rested instinctively. I found that I didn’t need to eat because the energy I got by being lazy was enough to sustain my life.”
The sloth ignored the two people beside it, whose faces were contorted with jealousy, and continued talking to itself.
"And so, the days went by. I felt that I had grown up, become stronger, and was capable of taking action on my own, but I didn't want to move at all. Wasn't that good enough?"
Hmm, some of my kind don't seem to think that way. When I hear rustling noises, there are always some of my kind who can't stand the loneliness and want to run, jump, communicate with other creatures, and see more of the world.
Why go against your own natural instincts?
I don't understand. Why do all those unnecessary things when you can just be lazy?
They go to eat, to make friends, to travel, to reproduce... I don't have those worldly desires.
Of course, I still occasionally open my eyes out of curiosity to take a look... Hey, don't look at me like that, okay? I'm a normal living being, okay?!
The sloth's head popped out a tic-tac-toe shape, and it clenched its fists and roared at the two guys wearing tinted glasses.
Damn it, just because their own heads are full of rubbish, they think they're that kind of guy too?!
"Excuse me for asking."
Hei Yang raised his hand: "Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I'm female! Get out of here!"
Even a good-natured sloth can't resist the urge to curse.
Take a deep breath, compose yourself, and continue speaking.
"I'm so angry! Damn it, where was I?"
"I glance at it occasionally."
Hongli raised her hand to remind her.
"Oh, right, I glance at it occasionally."
The sloth shook its head and continued.
"There's nothing to see. It's just a bunch of my kin who were born earlier than me, but they're not as strong as me. Their cultivation levels are pitifully low. It's obvious they're not diligent and lazy!"
"That sounds so strange..."*2
The corners of the mouths of the two listeners twitched.
"Sure enough, what happened later proved me right."
The sloth said smugly, "Let's not even talk about those guys who die of old age because their cultivation level couldn't keep up with their lifespan, let's just talk about some day in the future."
That day, I was sleeping as usual when suddenly the earth shook violently, a gale howled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared—at that moment, I thought it was the end of the world, but later I realized that it was just two groups of cultivators fighting each other.
The aftershocks caused numerous casualties among my people. If staying at home can lead to such danger, then those who go out must be in even greater danger, right? That's what I think.
I was blown away by the strong wind, injured, but recovered quickly.
I was blown into the lake and swallowed by a big fish, but I was unharmed.
When the big fish was caught and killed, it encountered a mudslide during transport, but I remained calm and composed.
The soil dried outside my body, solidifying me into a sculpture, but I was not afraid.
After I was discovered, I was put on display in a cabinet and told that I was a specimen of a species that had been extinct for many years. I didn't bother to argue.
A group of robbers burst in and stole me and the other exhibits, but I remained unperturbed...
I am indifferent, I drift with the tide, I let the torrent of the times carry me wherever it may, the people and things around me are changing, but I remain at peace.
Many powerful, intelligent, and high-ranking people who are stronger than me have also fallen for various reasons, but I survived because I don't compete or fight, and I have no bad intentions.
It seems that thinking is a useless thing, and it only causes me a lot of unnecessary troubles, so I simply gave up thinking.
And so, I didn't care about anything, knew nothing, and occasionally felt my eyelids itch. When I opened my eyes, I was always in an unfamiliar environment, but I didn't care.
Just like I don't know how I got here, and I can't be bothered to think about what you'll do with me, whatever.
The sloth yawned, slowly curled up, and looked tired again as it waved goodbye to Hei Yang Hong Li.
"Yes, I think I've said everything I wanted to say in this life, and I have no regrets..."
To be honest, laziness isn't all good and no bad. The lazier you are, the lonelier you become... I guess so, who knows?
Well, I wish you two a long and happy relationship... yawn... goodbye forever..."
Under the watchful gaze of Hei Yang Hong Li, the sloth fell into a deep sleep, its breath lingering peacefully.
Many people and things have tried to make it anxious, but in the end, they were still helpless against it.
After all, no one can beat someone who's too lazy to fight.
"Hmm, this guy..."
Hong Li frowned and said softly, "This guy's missing a screw. He's not interested in anything and would rather step into nothingness..."
"The world is still a beautiful place, it's just that it sees the world as nothing but trouble... which is probably true."
Hei Yang smiled helplessly and uttered a soft voice.
"If I hadn't met you, perhaps I would have closed myself off like it, cared for my parents until their death, and then left with them."
Even my departure is meaningless, because nobody remembers, nobody cares.
"Nonsense, there are no 'what ifs'."
Hongli held Heiyang's hand tightly.
"Everyone is around us, you are around me, and I am around you."
"I know."
Hei Yang shook his head and chuckled.
"I just listened to the story and did some reading comprehension exercises as a side activity."
"uh-huh."
Hongli remained noncommittal, staring speechlessly at the sloth hanging motionless upside down on the branch.
"What do we do about it? It starts emitting its aura again as soon as it wakes up."
"You said you'd kill him."
"Oh, then you do it."
"Why don't you do it?"
"I'm too lazy to do it."
"What a coincidence."
Hei Yang expressionlessly stretched out his hand, gently enveloping the sloth with spiritual energy, and shook his head.
"I'm too lazy to do it myself, I'll just take it with me first..."
"What happened after you took him away?"
"Find a place to bury him alive."
"Truth or lie."
"What do you say?"
"Tsk, tsk."
"Xiao Yang? Xiao Li? Dinner's almost ready! Come and eat!"
"Oh really, where have those two kids gone off to play again... If you don't come soon, there won't be any left for you two!"
"Hey! Mom, here I am, here I am!"
Hei Yang Hong Li quickly jumped down from the giant tree branch.
"We're coming! Save us two seats!"
"..."
As you travel through countless worlds, if you see a group of vicious and wicked demonic villains eyeing you menacingly, your eyes will immediately...
[Item 1: Build rapport with them and promote ten methods of fire extinguishing, ten fire prevention tips, and ten escape strategies]

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 282 When moving towards something you love and dream about, every step of preparation brings joy.
In terms of scale alone, the family dinner at my maternal grandfather's house was much more lively than the previous gathering at Yang Li's house.
