How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"What megalomaniac..."

"I've already considered the worst-case scenario beforehand!"

Hongli sadly rubbed her forehead: "I'm afraid that after a few years of marriage, we'll both unfortunately be caught and sent to heaven. I don't know if employees will have separate dormitories then, otherwise how will I sleep with you? Waaaaah..."

Well, I'm not an irresponsible ingrate, but I mean, at least let us play for a few hundred years first before letting us go out and repair the world, right?

They've been in the cosmos for hundreds of years, while we're still so young!

"Oh dear, I still say, let's try to think positively!"

Hei Yang chuckled and waved his hand: "For example, we're under 1800 years old, so we're considered child laborers and won't be hired. Or, for example, we have elderly parents and young children to support, so it's a special case..."

Uh, or maybe, you just go up to stand guard and play cards for a bit on weekdays, and you can go home in the evening, with normal days off on weekends and public holidays..."

Hongli: "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Well, I have theoretical basis to support that!"

Hei Yang held up one finger and gave an example: "Look at that senior just now, he looked relaxed and had a smile on his lips."

She seemed to be humming an old tune as she applied the glue—oops, the repair fluid. What does that prove?

"She's been driven insane?!"

Hongli looked terrified.

"Pah! This proves that their lives might not be as hard as we imagine!"

Hei Yang argued logically and convincingly, "Maybe it really is as I say?"

"Ha, maybe it's just finding joy in hardship!"

Hong Li snorted softly, turned her head away, and wisps of black energy rose from her head: "No, I need to plan ahead. I have to think of a way. I definitely have to suppress my cultivation level. I can play for as many years as I can..."

Also, the outer barrier, Black Sun, can now crack. If I want to come back when I reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, maybe I can…”

"Hey, what kind of terrifying plan are you whispering about?!"

Hei Yang leaned closer to Hong Li, revealing his dead fish eyes, and patted her head: "Make a big hole in the barrier, then crawl back in from the outside?"

"Hei Yang truly understands me!"

Hongli reached out and put her arm around Heiyang's neck, saying furtively, "How about it? Let's pull off a heist?"

"Then my husband and I will act together, trying to catch them off guard... Oh no! Black Sun!"

"Come on, you were just criticizing me for creating a crack, and now you're thinking about creating a huge hole, huh?"

Hei Yang rolled his eyes: "What if we mess up the Traveling World? It'll be too late to come back then!"

"As long as it's fixed in time, there shouldn't be any problems... right?"

Hong Li's voice grew weaker and weaker as she lowered her head: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. So what is there that allows me to return without breaking the barrier?"

Hmm, did Shenyin sneak back while the barrier wasn't looking?

Did he instantly kill someone and then jump back through space?

How can we analyze the composition of the barrier using both wisdom and clarity, and then gently break through it?

Leave a seed of rebirth in the Realm of Soaring beforehand, then die instantly when you go outside, and be reborn back in the Realm of Soaring?

Or perhaps, they could smuggle themselves to the underworld from the other side and take a roundabout route back from Grandma Meng's place?

Even using the White Horse to jump back to the previous timeline, countless times triggering bugs and flashbacks?

Furthermore, using shadow clones to control scapegoats and resurrect them...

"Your mind works incredibly fast when it comes to criminal offenses..."

Hei Yang chuckled and sighed, "There's no use guessing here. There's always a way out. We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, that's something for Hei Yang and Hong Li to worry about in the future. They're far from us!"

"Maybe by then we'll have a solution?"

"Go aside!"

Hongli gave the unserious Heiyang a good whack and sighed, "We must prepare in advance. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' We should go and find out what the situation is like outside."

"Also, I heard that Master Gu Jian of the Wuliang Sword Sect is just one step away from successfully breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm. We could ask her to help us scout out the way or something..."

"Oh dear, oh dear, Hongli has fainted from overworking her brain."

Hongli suddenly went limp, collapsing onto Heiyang's lap with a deathly expression: "So, the task of building the plantation is entirely entrusted to you, my husband. I truly regret that I cannot share this hardship with you, cough cough..."

Hong Li tilted her head, closed her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and immediately fainted.

"........."

Hongli felt uncomfortable in this position, so she shifted her legs and found a more comfortable one, resting her head on Heiyang's thighs, and then lay peacefully.

"..."

Hong Li remained motionless.

"..."

"Hey, are you stupid?"

Hongli secretly opened her eyes and whispered a reminder: "You should go do your work!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't look at me with such a scary expression, okay?"

"Let's talk this out, don't hit me, don't move... Ah!!!"

………………

In the Nine Realms of the Secret Realm, Hong Li rubbed her bottom while wielding her spatial power, secretly glancing at Hei Yang with a resentful look in her eyes, muttering to herself, "Violent man, stinky Hei Yang, always hitting people, hmph!"

"Stop humming, are you done on your end?"

Hei Yang smoothed out part of the eastern sky, stared at Hong Li with dead fish eyes, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Let me tell you, if you don't level that corner over there, you're in for a world of trouble!"

"Tch, who are you trying to scare? Do you think I, Hong Li, am easily frightened?"

Hongli guiltily stretched out her foot and gently stomped on the raised corner of the ground to flatten it. She pretended to be annoyed and said, "I finished a long time ago. Who's as slow as you? Although being slow has its advantages, it's just... cough cough..."

In short, don't worry, the Secret Realm 9 will be absolutely fine!

According to that... many novels state that "nine" is the ultimate number, and generally, once you reach nine, there won't be any further changes, right?

"I think you've been reading too many cultivation novels. We are... uh, we seem to be in a cultivation world?"

"Yes, yes!"

"No, conclusions without a basis in fantasy or martial arts fiction are unbelievable unless you can find supporting evidence!"

"Ha, classic stubbornness, those who know, know."

"you!"

"Ahem, okay, okay, just kidding. You're not so tough anymore, just be gentle, alright?"

Hongli ran to the other side of the road, saying, "Then, I'll go check that corner over there again, hahaha!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"This girl..."

Hei Yang shook his head and chuckled, rubbing his temples with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He then took out the small peach tree and began planting it.

"Oh, right."

Hei Yang suddenly looked towards the exit of the secret realm, saw his own courtyard, reached out and used his spiritual power to pull the sleeping sloth over—no, he invited the sloth over.

"Ugh, who is it, disturbing my peaceful sleep..."

The sloth yawned widely, turned its head to look at Hei Yang with a sleepy expression, and asked, "What's wrong, Hei Yang? Is something the matter?"

"Well, didn't we say back then..."

Hei Yang sidled up to the sloth and whispered something to it. The sloth's expression shifted between bewilderment and sudden realization before it patted its chest confidently and said, "Oh, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, it's just watching a tree for you."

I'll sleep on top of it then, and I'll yell at anyone who touches my bed!

"Hehe, that's reliable!"

"of course!"

The sloth nodded in satisfaction, then looked around curiously: "Um, where's my new bed, uh, I mean, the tree?"

Hei Yang: "It hasn't been planted yet!"

Sloth: "Huh?"

Hei Yang: "Isn't that why we need your help? Hehe!"

Sloth: "???"
