How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hong Li sighed and raised both hands in surrender.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I won't fight you today."

"Oh ho?"

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow, startled, and took several steps back, looking at Hong Li with a wary expression.

"Something's definitely up to no good. Tell me, what's your scheme this time?"

"What conspiracy? Get lost!"

Hongli lifted her skirt and said speechlessly, "I'm dressed so nicely right now, I don't want to get my clothes dirty because of fighting with you."

"Ah, I see, that's true..."

Hei Yang paused for a moment, looked Hong Li up and down, stroked his chin and nodded, "I have to say, you little brat, you've been dressing up better and better lately. Have you changed your personality?"

"Ha, of course it looks good, you don't even know who I am."

Hong Li nodded smugly, accepting Hei Yang's praise, and explained, "However, my views remain unchanged."

Headwear, necklaces, dresses—those fancy things little girls wear to look beautiful—I don't really think they're that great.

The more of these things there are, the more uncomfortable I feel, as if dark suns are crawling all over my body.

However, everyone needs to have some self-restraint. I'm happy to wear it for you, just consider it a constant reminder not to get carried away.

"Um……"

Hei Yang thought for a moment and replied, "No need. Do whatever makes you happy, because I'm right here watching you. You don't need to remind yourself of anything."

"uh-huh."

The two whispered to each other, then held hands again and slowly followed the footsteps of the group forward.

"Speaking of which, the fact that we didn't fight just now, does that mean we've really matured a bit?"

"Come on, if I weren't wearing this dress, I'd twist your head off and beat you up anyway!"

"whispering sound……"

Hei Yang curled his lip in disdain and reminded him, "Someone is calling you."

"what?"

Hong Li was stunned for a moment, then instantly looked at Hei Yang with a wary expression.

"You want to take advantage of my distraction and then beat me on the head like crazy, huh? Don't try to fool me, no way!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Someone really did hit him."

"Oh……"

Hong Li silently lowered her head, took out the communication spirit stone, glanced at it, and answered the call without changing her expression.

"Hey, Elder Huo Le, how have you been lately?"

"Haha, great, absolutely great!"

Huo Le appeared on the screen with a smile and said, "Thanks to you guys, we got to eat some of that evil dragon's flesh at the previous wedding and made a lot of money."

Upon returning, I immediately went into seclusion, using the flesh of a Nascent Soul dragon to aid my cultivation. My progress was astounding; I'm now a major cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage! Hahaha!

"Wow, that's incredibly fast..."

"really."

Hongli nodded: "That's amazing speed, it's even caught up with me and Heiyang."

Huo Le: "..."

"Never mind, I don't want to talk about this with you guys..."

Huo Le sighed, then noticed Hong Li's attire and couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Little Li changed into a dress? That's rare. Is this how marriage changes a person?"

"Hey, hey, that's not important..."

Hongli waved her hand and said with a grin, "I wanted to dress up nicely because I'm going out to play today!"

"Goodness, you two went out to play. This is not like you two at all."

Huo Le was startled, but then instantly guessed it.

"You were dragged out by your parents, weren't you?"

"Uh, don't worry about all that nonsense..."

Hong Li's smile froze, and she said somewhat exasperatedly, "So, tell me, aren't you envious?"

"Ha, what do I have to envy?"

"I'm retired now, have you forgotten? I can go out anytime I want."

Huo Le waved his hand and said leisurely, "However, instead of spending this time playing, I'd rather do something more meaningful."

For example, continuing to delve deeper into certain technologies and constantly reducing costs to benefit humanity...

Do you think I'm like you two, living as monks for hundreds of years, spending my days not doing anything productive but thinking about romance?

Hongli: "..."

Hei Yang: "..."

Thank you, I was offended!

I've been feeling really bad these past few days, my sleep schedule is completely messed up...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 369 I want to spend every day with you, chatting about anything and everything.

"You should understand that a person's life can be short or long, some live long and some die young."

The value of a person should not be measured by the length of their life, but by the depth of their life.

Elder Huo Le pointed at Hei Yang and Hong Li with a serious expression and said, "What is the depth of life? It is the contribution a person makes to the world, to the common people, and to future generations. It is the moral and spiritual qualities of a person."

Such a person will be remembered and appreciated by people even a thousand or ten thousand years after his death!

Those who are preoccupied with their own romantic relationships and trivial matters, who are lost and don't know where to go or what to do, and who make no contribution to the world, will not be remembered by anyone, no matter how long they live!

Take you, for example. You are such outstanding young talents, and you are still so young. Don't you want to stand on the world stage and show yourselves?

Do you really want to plan out your entire life at such a young age?

Think about it carefully, are you doing the right thing?

"I'm sorry, we were wrong..."

Hei Yang Hongli lowered her head in shame.

"Hmm, this child is teachable..."

Elder Huo Le nodded with satisfaction and said slowly, "You should go and realize your ideals and ambitions. Young people should dare to fight and struggle."

"How about this, I'll offer you an internship opportunity at the Five Elements Sect..."

"Um?!"

Hei Yang Hong Li noticed the key words and looked up at Huo Le: "You've finally revealed your true colors, haven't you! Elder, you human trafficker!"

"Xiao Li, did you see that?"

Hei Yang turned his back to the screen and explained to Hong Li with a serious expression: "This is a common sales pitch used in pyramid schemes."

They'll talk to you about your ideal future, using your familiarity to lull you into a false sense of security, and then entice you to come and live a life of luxury with them, promising to reimburse your travel expenses.

But once you're tricked, they'll first take away your communication stones, then activate the grand formation, beat you up for a few meals and starve you for days, then force you to "take notes in class," continuing to talk to you about ideals, and then...

"Oh! Oh! I see! That's terrifying?!"

Hongli nodded repeatedly while taking out a pen and notebook to take notes, her face serious, solemn, and frightened.

"Teacher Heiyang, then, how can we avoid this situation..."

My suggestion is simple.

Hei Yang nodded and said seriously, "As long as you don't blindly believe others and don't think about free lunches..."

"Hey, hey, that's enough!"

Elder Huo Le looked at the two of them singing in unison, a row of black lines appearing above his head, and couldn't help but shout: "Don't imagine things that I never did!"

"How can you so wrongly accuse a kind old woman like me? Don't you have any conscience?"

"Hahaha!"

Hongli laughed three times: "Are you kidding me? You actually think we have a conscience..."

"Ahem, Xiao Li, you should have some self-respect when you're out in public..."

Hei Yang quickly interrupted Hong Li with an awkward smile: "Let me do it..."

"Alright, it's your choice, Hei Yang!"
