How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

[Hongli: Tch, as if I'm that bad.]

[Hongli: Because of my mother's influence, I, Hongli, started reading as soon as I could recognize characters. I haven't read tens of thousands of books, but I've read several thousand. That's what it means to come from a scholarly family!]

Hong Li raised her chin, tilted it back slightly, and looked at Hei Yang with a smug expression, her eyes filled with the light of wisdom!

A row of black lines appeared on Hei Yang's head as he chuckled helplessly.

[Hei Yang: But speaking of which, how many books actually are in your study?]

[Hongli: Including the few I lent to my aunt, not counting comics and diaries, there are a total of 4,026 books!]

Hongli: However, besides some famous works and novels, there are also some reference books.

For example, dictionaries like the "Five-Color Dictionary," "Five-Color Cipher," and "Five-Color Idiom Dictionary"...

Other examples include "A Quick Guide to Becoming a Chess Master," "My Own Thoughts on How to Resurrect After Death," and "A Collection of High-Scoring Short Essays"...

There are also some books that seem to be memoirs, but can also be read as novels.

For example, "Secrets of the Qiankun Kingdom", "The Collection of Mysterious Cases in the Royal Capital", "Ninety-Nine Little Secrets That Ninety-Nine Percent of the Five-Colored Clan Doesn't Know", "Ten Special Psychological Aspects of How to Control Teenage Boys", "Three Steps to Easily Win Over Young Boys", etc.

[Black Sun: ...]

[Heiyang: There are too many flaws; I don't even know where to begin.]

[Hongli: Then let's not talk about it!]

Hongli: Don't worry! Sooner or later I'll feed you all the books in the study!

Hehe, watching it again with you is so much fun!

Then we both became known for our scholarly air, and our family could be called a family of scholars!

[Hei Yang: Tsk tsk, in this respect, my mom is quite different from my mother-in-law.]

She gets sleepy after reading for less than ten minutes. Her grandfather said that she was very naughty when she was little. Chickens, ducks and geese would run in front of her, and her mother, who was seven or eight years old, would chase after them with a kitchen knife.

At the very back were my uncles, sweating profusely, their eyes never leaving my mother for a moment, lest something unexpected happen.

[Hong Li: ? !! ]

[Hong Li: The Qing family, a household full of men, has finally welcomed a little princess. The patriarch has issued the highest order: Spoil her! Spoil her rotten!]

[Black Sun: Damn, it does look somewhat similar, but the smell you described is way too strong!]

[Hei Yang: So now you know why my dad is so afraid of my mom's family...]

[Hongli: Tsk tsk, talking about Mom and Dad behind their backs, Little Black Sun, you're finished! I'm going to tell on you!]

[Black Sun: ???]

[Hei Yang: You have no sportsmanship, do you...]

…………

From the outside, Hei Yang Hong Li was still sitting quietly and obediently, showing no signs of any problem.

Perhaps only by lifting their eyelids can one see a string of profanities and asterisks flashing by.

The only sound in the room was the soft scratching of pen tips on paper, creating an exceptionally quiet atmosphere. Although Hei Yang and Hong Li had nothing to do, they didn't find the time passing by. They always managed to find some random topic and chat about nonsense all day long, enjoying it immensely.

The chirping of Little Fire came from the branches in the yard. Don't ask why there were no other birds chirping. Little Fire never thought of chasing away her bird friends. But as soon as she stood on the branch, the birds were so frightened that they fled with their families, which made Little Fire unhappy for a long time.

"Even though Little Fire is so cute, they're avoiding it like it's a monster!"

Little Fire poured out its grievances to Laziness in a huff.

"Does Little Fire look scary? Everyone says Little Fire is very well-behaved!"

"Little Fire, there's no need to argue with them. Those birds are unintelligent and low in intelligence; they just rely on their instincts to seek advantage and avoid harm."

The sloth dangled leisurely from the branch, her eyes half-closed as if she were dozing off, her voice so soft that Little Fire sometimes couldn't tell if she was talking in her sleep.

"A mere cough from a small fire could burn down their nest..."

"Little Fire wouldn't breathe fire like that!"

Little Fire retorted, dissatisfied: "Little Fire has excellent control over its power!"

"Yes, Little Fire is great, I know that."

Lazy chuckled softly, his voice still languid.

"But they don't know that! After all, no one likes to entrust their fate to others."

Just like me, I had no ill intentions towards the world, yet I was driven out and almost lost my life. It's the same principle, and I can understand it.

"Ah! Lazy sister doesn't have to be afraid anymore!"

Xiao Huo quickly reassured her, "Grandpa has already registered your sister, so you don't have to worry about being kicked out!"

"Lazy sister..."

The sloth paused for a moment when it heard Little Fire's address, and it took it a while to realize that he was being called. It couldn't help but chuckle.

She had heard Hei Yang Hong Li say that Xiao Huo was only a little kid under a year old, yet he called her "sister." Heh, she found it quite amusing.

The wind in January was still a bit chilly, blowing the feathers that resembled bangs on Xiao Huo's forehead, revealing his bright, shimmering crimson eyes.

After nearly two months of rehabilitation training by his maternal and paternal grandparents, the sparkle that had been stolen from Xiao Huo's eyes finally returned, and his little eyes were as lively and bright as when he was born.

She looked up into the distance and saw that new buds had sprouted on the bare branches, while the distant mountains remained shrouded in darkness. Yet, amidst the swirling clouds, Xiao Huo could sense the vibrant life force being nurtured and flourishing.

"Lazy sister, Grandma says spring is coming soon!"

Little Fire's eyes sparkled, and she asked cheerfully and curiously, "What's spring like? Do you know, sister?"

"Um..."

The sloth responded, half-asleep, "Spring, spring is... is..."

"Little Fire hasn't seen what spring looks like yet!"

Xiao Huo squinted, her voice light and cheerful.

"Xiao Huo came into the world in early summer. After being born, he has already seen the scorching summer, the refreshing autumn, and the very harsh winter."

Having witnessed torrential rain and fierce winds, thunder and lightning, biting cold winds and heavy snowfalls—Little Fire has lived for so long and experienced so much!

In that case, of the four seasons, Xiao Huo has only missed spring!

Spring is almost here, and I'm so excited!

Hehe, have you ever seen spring, sister? Can you tell me about it?

Although Grandma and Grandpa have both shared their perspectives on spring, Xiao Huo still wants to hear other people's views on spring!

"Spring...it seems like it once existed...but I never opened my eyes to see it..."

The sloth's voice was hesitant. In her six hundred years of life, her memories of spring were blank and blurry. She couldn't describe what it looked like for a moment, which made her feel embarrassed in front of her little sister.

Hmm, no, I need to think about how to say it. I need to think carefully. Even though I haven't looked at it carefully, I should still have some impression of it, right? The sloth thought to itself.

"Hmm... Springtime..."

The sloth paused, then cautiously asked, "A dead tree sprouting new leaves?"

"anything else?"

"Uh... full of youthful vigor!"

"Any more?"

"Mmm...mmm...the weather is fine and sunny!"

"What else?"

"Hmm... and... oh right!"

The sloth remembered how it felt.

Springtime is the perfect time to sleep in!

It's warm and cozy, and very gentle!

"Yeah?!"
