How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang looked up at the sky and smiled slightly: "Before we got married, Xiao Li had always been by my side."

Becoming family doesn't necessarily require a wedding ceremony; it's simply a way for us to reflect on our past relationship and make future relationships smoother.

"That's it..."

Yin Zisheng shook his head and chuckled, "Unfortunately, Qing Kong and I don't have that kind of enviable childhood sweetheart relationship like you two. We met by chance."

Before we met, I always felt somewhat lonely.

I have both respect and fear for my master, and I dare not speak carelessly in front of him.

My junior brothers and sisters are too respectful to me, so I have to maintain my so-called senior brother authority and be careful with my words and actions.

So, to be honest, the person who truly allowed me to open my heart and talk about anything started when I met Qingkong.

"That's true. As a partner, Xiao Li is irreplaceable to me; it's the ultimate spiritual connection."

Hei Yang said softly, "Of course, without my parents' support, I might have been defeated by the world before I even met Xiao Li."

"Blood relatives..."

Yin Zisheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled helplessly, "For me, that's a very old term, so old that its form has become blurred."

"Feel sorry……"

"It's okay, we've always been like this."

Yin Zisheng waved his hand, smiling as he interrupted Hei Yang's apology.

“We weren’t as fortunate as you are now in our time. Back then, the major righteous sects in the cultivation world hadn’t yet been fully integrated.”

Monsters used to roam our human territory, but that was many years ago.

Although accidents still happen occasionally, it's much safer now than it was back then.

Not only me, but also Shui Ran, Huo Le, and Mu Ling, all of us went up the mountain to follow our master in order to protect the people of our village.

As a result, he gained the ability and drove away all the monsters, bringing peace to the world. His parents were no longer able to see him.

As for Xiuxiu, when Master found her, he had never met her parents, so we senior brothers and sisters were all very close to Xiuxiu.

At first, I felt sorry for the little girl, but then I gradually grew to like this lively little sister, haha.

As for Tulou, that guy from Tulou is different from us.

The boy from Tulou is still alive and well. The two elderly people are currently staying at the village canteen, in good health and full of energy.

That kid goes out into the ground every few days, searching for rare and precious herbs to feed his two elders and keep them in good health.

I heard that kid is dating Junior Sister Mu Ling now. Good heavens, this kid could practically run a rare and precious herb plantation and sell everything he owns.

"what……"

Yin Zisheng paused, then suddenly realized what he had said and said apologetically, "Look at me, I've gone off on a tangent."

He always likes to talk to people about those old, messy things, and gossip about his family and friends…

"It's okay, I just like listening to my elders tell stories. Their stories are all based on their own experiences and life lessons."

Hei Yang imagined: "When Xiao Li and I get older, we'll definitely be like this, able to tug at each other's sleeves for ages..."

If we can talk so much about something when we're only teenagers, we'll really have endless things to talk about every day when we're older.

"What you're saying..."

Yin Zisheng said with a wry smile, "Suddenly I feel like I'm very old. In my memory, I've only been married for a short time and am about to become a father."

"Just like I always say."

Hei Yang casually remarked, "There's always a difference between mental age and actual age."

"That's true. After saying all that, what I really wanted to say was..."

Yin Zisheng said earnestly, "Cherish every day you spend and everyone around you."

I didn't quite understand it before, but as I grew older and experienced that heart-wrenching separation from Qingkong, I truly understood those words..."

"Fortunately, I have already come to understand this statement very well."

Scenes from the past flashed before Hei Yang's eyes, and he said with gratitude once again, "Thank you for the world's opportunities that allowed me to encounter beauty."

"Yes, happiness is hard-won!"

Yin Zisheng nodded and warned, "You must protect your loved ones well. Don't be like me, who almost lost her."

"Well, I will."

Hei Yang nodded, looked around, and seeing the array in the air above the Medicine King Sect that operated based on the mutual generation of the five elements, he couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Just like you, it seems you've protected this place very well now!"

"That is!"

Yin Zisheng patted his chest and said smugly, "Watch and learn carefully. If I activate all these formations, you'll definitely be shocked by how well I protect Qing Kong!"

"Tsk tsk, that's enough."

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "If you saw how well I protect Xiao Li, you wouldn't say that."

If you knew how many layers of protection my little Li has, who knows who would be scared of whom!

"Ok?"

Yin Zisheng frowned, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly changed.

"Are you serious?"

"Ha, is this even worth taking seriously?"

Hei Yang clicked his tongue and pointed to several places.

"Don't believe me? Look there, there, and there, so many blind spots you didn't even bother to check and fill in the gaps?"

"Believe it or not, if I bring my own people to invade, I can break this formation in no time!"

"you sure?"

Yin Zisheng narrowed his eyes: "Are you going to challenge me to a duel?"

"Heh, you don't believe me, do you?"

Hei Yang pointed to his head and snorted, "If I were in charge of setting this up, there wouldn't be so many gaps. I could break through this in just a couple of moves."

"It's a good thing for young people to be confident, and I also admit that you two are geniuses..."

Yin Zisheng spoke softly.

"However, being overconfident isn't a good thing; I'm afraid it might lead to repeating my mistake..."

"Hey, don't be offended by what I'm saying. There's a sequence to learning, and only those who are accomplished can be teachers. It's pointless for you to try to intimidate me with your age."

Hei Yang paused, then said somewhat unconvinced, "How about this, you and I will each mark out a piece of open space next to the Medicine King Sect and have a contest of formations?"

"Oh ho?"

Yin Zisheng raised an eyebrow and said, "That's interesting..."

"quack!"

"Don't worry, haha, it'll be resolved quickly, it won't take too long!"

"Indeed, breaking their formation will take more than half a minute!"

"Hmph!"*2

………………

The girls inside were unaware of the childish rivalry between the two men outside.

"Well……"

As Hongli peeled the orange, she frowned and said, "Did you hear that? What's all that noise outside?"

"I guess Zisheng is just bored and messing around with Xiaoyang."

Yao Qingkong lay on the bed, smiling and chatting.

"That's just how he is. Even at his age, he still has the mentality of a child."

I'm about to become a father, and I don't know how I'll set a good example for my child.

"This is nothing."

Hongli waved her hand and comforted him, "Even though Heiyang and I are such losers, we still became parents."

Looking at it now, isn't Xiao Huo living a very happy and content life?

"Hey, human babies are definitely more vulnerable..."

Yao Qingkong said helplessly, "Besides, you have your elders to help you, while the two of us are just feeling our way across the river."

"That makes sense..."

Hongli paused, thought for a moment, and then didn't say anything, but simply handed over half of the orange in her hand.

"Here are some oranges we bought for you. How about you try them?"

"Thank you, but I'll do it myself."

Yao Qingkong instinctively took it, but suddenly saw a malicious smile flash in Hong Li's eyes, and became slightly wary. He then looked up and picked up a new orange.
