How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hongli said quietly, "Be careful, one day a sack might appear under the ice lake in the Water Department..."

Xingyun: "..."

"Alright, alright, there's no point in asking about this kind of thing, it's not interesting at all."

Hongli shrugged, looking like someone who'd been there all along: "Marriage isn't as easy and romantic as you imagine, is it?"

Marriage signifies the end of romance and the beginning of the mundane realities of life: groceries, children, housing, money—the everyday琐事 (trivial matters) that are the norm.

If you can endure it, life will be peaceful and warm; if you can't, it will be torture, understand?

"So, don't be fooled by how happy I am now that I'm married. Don't fantasize about finding your own love right away. That's not the right thing to do!"

Hongli earnestly instructed, "You must understand, not everyone can find their own Black Sun like I have!"

"Oh, I see..."

Xingyun nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously, "Then, Sister Hongli, are you worried about daily necessities right now?"

"Of course, we almost went hungry this morning, and the roof was broken. Hei Yang spent half a day fixing it."

Hong Li put on a pitiful look.

"And me, I wear all my clothes to pieces but I can't bear to buy new ones, so I can only dig out my old clothes to make do. Can you imagine that!"

"how come!"

Xingyun was shocked: "How long has it been? Sister Hongli, you've fallen to this state?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's the horror of marriage!"

Hong Li nodded with certainty.

Xiaoyun, please don't blame me for my white lie. When you grow up, you'll understand that I did it so you can focus on your cultivation! I'm so kind, I'm crying so hard!

Besides, what Hong Li said wasn't wrong. She was just describing real events, only she downplayed some of them and made a few minor changes!

"That's absolutely terrifying!"

Xingyun looked frightened and whispered, "Then, Sister Hongli, why don't you just get a divorce? You were so happy before..."

"You audacious scoundrel!"

Hongli's eyelids twitched, and she quickly shook her head from side to side. Seeing that Heiyang had suddenly appeared instead of being there, she took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, whispering, "Sister, do you want me to die?"

If my husband suddenly walked by and overheard us talking about divorce, I'd literally die!

"Brother Heiyang is actually that kind of person!"

Xingyun was shocked. She turned to leave, saying, "Sister Hongli, don't be afraid. I'll get reinforcements to rescue you from their clutches, and then..."

"Stop! Stop! Please, please don't!"

Hong Li's lips twitched, and she immediately admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, I did some artistic embellishment just now, I admit it."

I am not suffering at all now, I am even extremely happy, and I know nothing about the mundane things like daily necessities.

I love Heiyang so much, and Heiyang loves me too. We are very happy together.

So please, please don't disturb our peaceful life!

"Sister Hongli, if you're being threatened, just blink."

Hongli: "..."

"If Sister Hongli is threatened, just cough twice!"

Hongli: "..."

"Wow, okay, Sister Hongli, you tricked me again!"

"Ahem, hahaha, just kidding, just kidding, but..."

Hong Li gave an awkward smile, but still held up one finger to emphasize, "But there's still one thing I'm telling the truth."

You have to take this to heart, be careful in love, or more accurately, use your brain more in interpersonal relationships, and don't be so easily fooled, you know?

I'm afraid that if I speak too strictly, I'll seem too domineering.

If I'm too lenient, you won't listen.

"That's the only way I can make it more memorable for you."

Hongli sighed and glanced at Xingyun: "It's only because I care about you that I keep bringing this up with you. I wouldn't bother with anyone else."

"Oh, okay..."

Xingyun nodded, keeping Hongli's words in mind.

However, the two didn't chat for long because Xingyun's afternoon practice schedule was about to end.

She needs to arrive at the secret room ten minutes early, then quickly get into the zone, spend the afternoon practicing diligently, and then go back to the room to pick up Gaga and go out for dinner together.

After dinner, Gaga went to sleep, while she continued her late-night practice, going to bed at four and waking up at six to begin another day of hard work.

Although Hongli called Xingyun's plan the Ten Greatest Tortures in the Traveling World.

But she also had to admit that someone who could make their own schedule and meet the deadlines was truly amazing!

Hongli hung up on Xingyun Communications and immediately dialed Yao Qingkong's number.

"Hello? Miss Qing, I need to talk to you about something. Oh? You're still at the Medicine King Sect? Sorry to bother you, I'm hanging up now..."

Hey, why do you like asking about these things so much? You've been married before, why are you asking me?

Of course, that's for sure, they're married and have already consummated their marriage.

Ah, it did hurt a little at first, but it's nothing to worry about. I'm Hong Li, hahaha!

Nonsense! Don't make malicious assumptions about me. I wasn't scared into crying!

Watch out, or I'll get Shadow to send you a lawyer, cough cough, watch out, or I'll get Shadow to beat you up!

Hmm? Your due date is in two months? That's great! Congratulations!

Okay, okay, if you're still in Wusecheng then, our whole family will definitely come to visit you.

Me? You're asking me? I don't know either. My family doesn't have any plans for this.

We can give all our parental love to Xiao Huo; adding another person might cause conflicts. Okay, that's all for now, bye.

"Uh, not in the Five Elements Sect..."

Hongli thought for a moment, then dialed the number again.

"Hello? Is this Sister Jinxiu? Ah, yes, it's me, Hongli!"

Huh? What do you mean by "you don't come to my temple unless you need something"? Do I, Hong Li, only come to you when I need something?

You really underestimate our friendship!

"Alright, alright, just say what you need to say."

Jin Xiu replied while wiping the knife in her hand, "Just tell me, and I'll do what I can."

"That's great! I've been waiting for you to say that! Listen to me..."

"Ah, I'm a little too full..."

Hei Yang drank the last of the milk in one gulp, patted his stomach, and instantly used his spiritual power to break down most of the food into energy.

"Um, I'm sorry, I couldn't let you digest it with dignity. It's my fault. I definitely won't buy so much next time."

Hei Yang muttered something under his breath, tidied up the table, and also organized the things by the bedside.

He carefully put away the bottle of dragon bone wine that "someone I don't know, anyway, Hei Yang doesn't know," and walked out of the house.

The first thing Hei Yang saw when he stepped out of the house was Hong Li squatting in the corner gesturing at something, and a question mark popped into his head.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

"Ah. Nothing much, just doing some small experiments..."

Hong Li stood up, chuckled, and leaped towards Hei Yang, who caught her steadily and held her in his arms.

Hei Yang picked her up and sat her down on the sofa by the window, then slowly put her down and got straight to the point: "Regarding the matter of ascension, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"Hmm, I think it's still best to suppress my cultivation level, but..."

Hong Li paused, then rubbed her temples: "I feel like so many fundamental laws are trying to drill into my head, attempting to increase my strength..."

"Oh? You have one too?"

Hei Yang was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was a normal phenomenon after a breakthrough.

The two opened the rescue device, scrolled through the progress bar, and then froze in shock.

[Your contract partner (Black Sun/Red Glass) has received the blessing of a Gold-level world and is receiving the laws of the Great Dao. Synchronization is complete.]

[Your contract partner (Black Sun/Red Glass) has gained Gold-level spiritual affinity. World spiritual energy reception is in progress and has been synchronized.]

The cultivation world has marked its contracted partner as an outstanding cultivator and is currently implementing a talent development program...

Hei Yang Hong Li: "???"

"Hey, hey, hey, what does this mean? What does this mean?!"

Hongli stared wide-eyed at Heiyang with a question mark in her eyes, while the latter was equally bewildered.
