How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Of course, if it were the Five Colors family back then, the scale of their family banquet would be so grand that not only the secular royal family, but even many people in the cultivation world would be envious and want to sneak in for a free meal. That was the most glorious time for the Five Colors family.

However, the Five Colors family has declined. Although a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, after so many years of prosperity, the Five Colors family has long since spread throughout the entire world of travel. If we were to list them all, it would be an enormous undertaking.

Not to mention that many branches are now impossible to trace, some have changed surnames, some have lost their genealogies, and some have even died out and disappeared.

But if we're really talking about the orthodox lineage, then it really only includes the Black Sun family of Five Colors City, plus some people from the capital, and then there's nothing more.

On the contrary, the Lan family, which is not a very large family, has grown from nothing to a larger scale than the Five Colors family alone in the last hundred years!

There were about a hundred people in total, and more than a dozen tables were set up. The seating was arranged according to seniority, a tradition that has been passed down for many years.

There are supposedly many reasons, but after discarding some, only one key reason remains: people of the same generation can eat together without feeling too awkward, and everyone can have a good time.

Hei Yang Hongli felt nervous in front of her elders. In fact, most juniors feel this way when they meet their elders, and the elders are well aware of it.

The children were arranged in order of seniority, with the maternal grandparents as the oldest. The two elders sat at one table, surrounded by their children—except for a certain little red-haired boy who somehow managed to sneak in!

Mother Lan Yuying was naturally at that table, while Father Hong Xiaochen was ushered to the table of his aunt and uncle. A group of old men raised their glasses and drank heartily, which was quite enjoyable.

Hei Yang and Hong Li, being the lowest-ranking juniors, sat at a table with the other six of their peers.

Hei Yang and Hong Li weren't particularly noticeable, because besides them, there were two other couples at the table, one older and one younger.

The younger couple was a cousin of Hong Li, two years younger than her, who brought his girlfriend to the banquet.

The older couple was Hongli's cousin, who was a year older than her, and she came with a man, just like Hongli.

However, the couple had been married for more than two years and had a child with them. Hongli looked at her cousin's pregnant belly and her eyelids twitched.

She stole a glance at Hei Yang beside her, then at her cousin, and hissed inwardly, unable to suppress a shiver.

As for the other two, they are just little kids. Hong Li and Hei Yang are leaning against each other. Hong Li's left is her six-year-old cousin, and Hei Yang's right is his eight-year-old cousin.

Although they are young, they are of the same generation as Hei Yang and Hong Li. Their parents felt that they could take care of themselves, so they let them sit at a separate table.

However, her mother, Lan Yuying, also instructed her to keep a close eye on the two children, and not to worry about anything else, but to lend a hand if they needed help.

There were a few other children of the same generation as Xiao Huo, but there were very few of them, and they couldn't sit at a table alone. Apart from Xiao Huo, who had smuggled himself into Grandpa's table, the other children were all accompanied by their parents.

Well, how should I put it? Although their little fire can sing, dance, fly, be cute, have a sweet tongue, and even fight, and has some things in its head that Hong Li considers trash, it's still not even a year old yet, still a baby...

Hei Yang Hongli simply ignored it, picked up the juice in front of her with a blank expression, took a small sip, and exclaimed, "Refreshing!"

Cough cough, they were having a great time, but the two little kids next to them were drooling.

Their parents said it was cold and drinking juice might make them catch a cold, so they gave each of them a glass of plain water to hold in their hands...

Tsk tsk, he looked so pitiful, so painful, that even Hei Yang Hong Li couldn't bear to look at him and quickly drank the juice in his glass in one gulp.

Yes, that way the children won't be able to see it. What a good older brother and sister!

As for giving them drinks, Hei Yang and Hong Li aren't their parents. What if they get sick from drinking them?

Well, they can use their spiritual power to help them withstand it, so they won't get an upset stomach from drinking it.

But if the child gets a stomachache for some other reason after getting home or a day or two later, the parents' first thought is, "Did the juice make him feel cold?" Even if they don't say anything, they will feel uncomfortable.

In the end, Hei Yang and Hong Li did all that work for nothing and even had to take the blame. What was the point?

Other people's children can take care of themselves. It's okay to help out a little, but as for anything else, you can do it yourself...

However, my grandfather's house didn't have any hot milk for the children to drink, otherwise they wouldn't have had to drink plain water. They did have hot tea, but it wasn't for children.

This made Hongli realize how difficult it is to raise a proper child. Her little Huo is so much better; he can eat a block of ice raw without getting a stomachache!

(Little Fire: ???????)

My cousin and his wife were quite impressive. Under Hei Yang Hongli's awe-inspiring gaze, the young couple picked up the wine bottles and downed glass after glass, their momentum in no way inferior to Hei Yang and his father!

As for my cousin, she definitely can't drink alcohol, and she has to limit her juice intake too. She's much more pampered than those two little kids now.

The little brat falls down while playing, gets up, and keeps running around like crazy. Try letting your older cousin fall down and see what happens.

Presumably to be considerate of his cousin's feelings, his brother-in-law, who seems like an honest man, also offered her plain water to quench her thirst.

Hei Yang Hong Li were the only two people sitting at the table drinking juice.

Unlike the other tables, which were bustling with activity, everyone at Hei Yang and Hong Li's table ate their own food. Apart from the sounds of the cousin and his wife competing in drinking, there was only the noise of eating and drinking, making the quiet atmosphere quite unique.

Hongli was suddenly startled, turned her head to look at Heiyang, and found that he was also looking over. Their eyes met, and she suddenly realized.

[Hongli: I get it. Besides the two kids, they deliberately put the three couples at one table, right?]

[Hei Yang: Tsk tsk, the elders actually know everything.]

Hei Yang turned his head slightly, looked at the lively and festive scenes at the tables around him, and couldn't help but smile.

[Black Sun: We are luckier than sloths; we have the opportunity to see the beautiful side of the world.]

[Hongli: She doesn't even have a family anymore, and she doesn't want any more. Sigh.]

Hei Yang Hong Li shook her head, no longer thinking about it, and refilled the juice bottle!

However, five minutes later...

“Ada…”

Hong Li suddenly muttered something softly. Hei Yang, who was standing next to her, raised an eyebrow, looked down, and then looked up again.

[Black Sun: Hey, why did you suddenly step on me?!]

[Hongli: Hmm, look at them.]

[Black Sun: Who?]

[Hongli: It's them!]

[Black Sun: Huh?]

Hei Yang stared with dead fish eyes, following Hong Li's gaze slightly.

My cousin nestled on her husband's shoulder, watching sweetly as he picked out what she could and couldn't eat, her mouth agape as he fed her.

On the other side, my cousin and his girlfriend were facing each other with beaming smiles, stuffing food into each other's mouths while making those awful noises like "three, two, one, ah..."

[Hongli: Did you see that? Did you see that? Ugh, ugh, I feel like my head is turning into a giant lemon!]

[Hong Li: People's hearts have lost their way, the world is going to the dogs, in broad daylight, under the clear sky...]

[Hongli: No! Feed me!]

[Hei Yang: Ah, when it comes to feasting, it's obvious that everyone working together yields the greatest benefit, okay? Has Xiao Li already abandoned pragmatism?]

[Hongli: I don't care, feed me!]

[Hei Yang: Ha, when will you be as mature as our two younger brothers and sisters next to us!]

[Hei Yang: Look at those two kids, eating peacefully without making a fuss at all.]

This is what future flowers should look like; this is what we should learn...

"Little Orange, you can't eat the ones over here, can you?"

My eight-year-old cousin held a small bowl and reached out to hand it to my little cousin.

"I've picked out a little bit for you, eat it while it's hot!"

"Thank you, Brother Lele!"

My little cousin accepted it with a sweet smile.

"I'll pick out some good food from this side for Brother Lele too!"

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

[Hongli: I've also sent flowers for the future! (Sad)]

[Black Sun: People's hearts have lost their former virtues, the world is going to the dogs, in broad daylight, under the clear sky...]

[Hongli: Hongli is vain today, let's quickly satisfy her vanity!]

[Black Sun: Good, good, good, my young lady.]

Hei Yang couldn't help but chuckle. He stood up, bent down, took a large ladle, ladled a bowl of delicious fish soup for Hong Li, and gently handed it to her.

"Ok?"

Hongli forced herself not to smile, instead raising an eyebrow and turning her head away.

"Humph!"

Hei Yang: "???"

[Hei Yang: What, sister? Am I going to pry your mouth open and force it in?]

[Hongli: I won't tell you, figure it out yourself!]

[Black Sun: Wow, Riddler, you better die already!]

[Hongli: Hmph~]

"Tsk, tsk."

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li's feigned act with amusement. Did he really need to guess what she was thinking?

Hei Yang shook his head and chuckled, gently scooping up a spoonful of fish soup with his small spoon and bringing it to his rosy lips.
