How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Yao Qingkong chuckled coldly.

"Ah this..."

Hong Li's body trembled.

"At this point, can being alluring and charming still save you?"

Yao Qingkong smiled.

"Please, Master, save me!"

Hong Li clasped her hands together, her face full of sincerity.

"please!"

"Ha, since you're so sincere, I'll give you a little pointer."

Yao Qingkong chuckled and said, "To portray a character completely different from your original personality, you need to grasp that kind of temperament!"

"temperament?"

A question mark appeared above Hong Li's head.

"It's that kind of aloof, mature woman, or haughty young lady, or... well..."

After a pause, Yao Qingkong looked at Hong Li's somewhat confused expression, sighed, and said, "Alright, let me give you another hint. Well, it's that kind of high and mighty queen-like demeanor, you know what I mean?"

"Uh, the Queen?"

Hongli blinked and tilted her head back in a daze.

No matter what hardships we endured last night~

I woke up to bright sunshine again!

"Oh dear, don't be so down-to-earth!"

Yao Qingkong waved away the fantasy image on Hong Li's head, and couldn't help but put one hand to her forehead and say, "It can not be so sunny, a little bit darker..."

"A little bit dark?"

Hongli frowned, lost in thought once more.

The basement was dimly lit, with flickering candlelight.

"Pia!" The whip cracked!

"What? You get this excited just from being whipped by me! Call me Queen..."

"no no!"

Yao Qingkong, somewhat exasperated, slapped away Hong Li's even more terrifying image, and couldn't help but complain, "I told you to be gloomy, not this gloomy! I meant for you to dress up..."

"Ha, phew, almost forgot, don't get excited, don't get excited, ha, phew..."

Yao Qingkong took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

She looked at Hongli helplessly and said in an annoyed tone, "I feel like you don't need me to teach you at all. Your knowledge seems to be even greater than mine!"

Damn it, is all that stuff in your head...?

"Hei Yang once said that any idea that can bring us both happiness is not worthless!"

Hongli snorted and said matter-of-factly, "You know a lot because I've read a lot of books, it's because you're uncultured..."

"Wait, what kind of books are you reading...?"

Yao Qingkong voiced his complaint, but was completely ignored by Hong Li, who was talking animatedly.

"Furthermore, after we got married, Hei Yang allowed me to see a portion of those ten 't's..."

"What are ten t?"

Yao Qingkong has raised even more questions.

"And there's also some of Hei Yang's teachings and personal example."

Hong Li paused, then held up a finger and said, "Although he and I are both theoretical kings, we are actually bronze."

However, due to his environment, he has much better conditions for learning these things than I do, so his knowledge base is currently far beyond my reach...

"What kind of environment is this?!"

Yao Qingkong couldn't help but complain, "With such a strong knowledge base, and still ending up like this, you might as well give up..."

“Ah, this!?”

Hongli's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "How can we let this go? What happened to the promised counterattack? What happened to the promised comeback and singing songs of triumph?"

"Relax, relax. After analysis, you're completely under their control..."

Yao Qingkong spread his hands, shaking his head and laughing helplessly with a hint of schadenfreude: "His knowledge base is stronger than yours, his special combat capabilities are stronger than yours, plus the fact that you two know each other inside and out..."

You're hopeless. Just give in and bear with it. Your life will pass quickly.

Oh, I forgot you're cultivators, and not even twenty yet, hehehe..."

"Oops~"

Yao Qingkong's face looked like it had a fake smile filter on, revealing a set of white teeth. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at Hong Li leisurely.

"It seems your happy life has only just begun. I really look forward to seeing what you'll be like in a few years, or even decades!"

Yao Qingkong looked at Hong Li's terrified eyes and chuckled, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll remember your still somewhat innocent and lovely eyes."

When your eyes light up with hearts, cough cough, and then you compare the two, it'll definitely have a unique flavor..."

"Young master, don't be so rude!"

Hong Li snorted, "Hong Li isn't easily frightened. Hei Yang is very gentle."

Even if decades or centuries pass, I will remain unchanged.

If there has to be any change, it's definitely that our relationship has gotten even better!

"Phew, but you're right about one thing."

Hongli clenched her fists, her little face resolute, and said, "I have quite a lot of knowledge, it's just that I haven't organized it properly."

With careful investigation, we can surely find the opponent's weaknesses and turn defeat into victory.

I've got it! When I get back, I'll give him a good stomp on... cough cough..."

"Anyway!"

Hongli clenched her fist and said, "Even if we lose, we should lose gracefully and with dignity..."

"Hey, you're already thinking about losing before you've even started? Your momentum's completely gone..."

Yao Qingkong's declaration of criticizing Hong Li.

"Nonsense! Do you think you can achieve anything just by shouting slogans?"

Hong Li snorted: "Even if there are, they are the domineering heroines in hot-blooded, righteous stories. What do they have to do with a good-for-nothing like me who just loafs around and leeches off Black Sun!"

Yao Qingkong: "Ah, this..."

"Yes, my original life goal was to not have to worry about anything and just let Heiyang take care of me."

Why even think about fighting back? If I exhaust him, who will take care of me?

Hong Li suddenly paused, glanced warily at Yao Qingkong, and couldn't help but say, "Damn it, you almost led me astray. When did I become so inspirational? Enjoying life comfortably is my life's pursuit!"

Yao Qingkong: "..."

"Good! Sister Hongli is right!"

Xingyun clapped her hands excitedly, her little face flushed, and said, "What an inspiring speech!"

Just as Dad said, once you've decided on the right path in your heart, you must unwaveringly stick to it to the end!

"Yes! That's right, that's exactly it!"

Hongli nodded: "But by the way, Xiaoyun, were you listening the whole time?"

Hongli's expression changed, and she turned her head to stare intently at Xingyun, as if to say, "If you dare to nod, I'll bury you in my grave."

If Xiaoyun heard all those words just now, then it seems we really need to silence her...

"Oh, no, not at all."

Xingyun scratched her head sheepishly and laughed, "Because I was eating something just now, and I was thinking of bringing some for Gaga too."

I have to consider both my child's favorite flavors and their nutritional needs. Ah, raising a child is so difficult!

Thinking about how hard it must have been for my dad to raise me, I definitely need to continue working hard to repay him!

"That's it..."

Hong Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The hand hidden behind his back slowly loosened...

"Are you sure you've detected the location of the world fragment?"

"The energy reaction intensity is correct, right?"
