How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

After giving her instructions, Hei Yang Hongli stood obediently in place, waiting for her mother and father to speak.

"Huh? It's over? Ah!"

As if waking from a dream, Qing Yiyi nodded and said with certainty, "Good, very good, you are right!"

Hei Yang Hong Li: "?"

"Um, Mom?"

Looking at his mother's expression, Hei Yang's lips twitched slightly as he asked, "Were you really listening just now?"

"Huh? What do you mean by this, kid?"

Qing Yiyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Hei Yang with an unfriendly expression.

"You don't think your mom can't understand all your babbling, do you?"

"Oh, no, no, I wouldn't dare! How could I think you wouldn't understand!"

Hei Yang quickly admitted defeat, looking sincerely apologetic.

But Qing Yiyi knew all too well what kind of person her own son was; this look clearly showed he didn't believe her!

Qing Yiyi rolled her eyes at Hei Yang and tapped him on the head.

"Yes, yes, yes, your mom didn't react for a moment. What's wrong? You think your mom is old and not as good as she used to be, right?"

"Oh, no, no, absolutely not!"

Hei Yang, with a righteous expression, quickly denied it, saying, "How could I possibly dislike you, Mom!"

Mom, if you don't understand, it's definitely not your problem, but rather that I expressed myself incorrectly!

No matter what, the fault absolutely does not lie with you, Mom!

"Hmph, it's good to know."

Qing Yiyi nodded in satisfaction.

"Since your expression is problematic, you know what to do, right?"

"Ah, I know, I know!"

Hei Yang caught a glimpse of Hong Li chuckling at him out of the corner of his eye. He sighed helplessly and said, "I should reorganize my words and repeat them to you, Mom, and accept your strict scrutiny until you can understand them."

"Hmm, hmm, I'm quite satisfied with your comprehension."

Qing Yiyi had a "you're getting it" look on her face as she listened to Hei Yang repeat what they wanted to say.

This time, Hei Yang deliberately reduced a lot of professional terms used in cultivation, and replaced some of the more complicated laws and relationships with simpler metaphors, finally making his mother and the others fully understand.

"In other words, Xiao Yang, if you and Xiao Li advance a few more steps in your cultivation, you will reach a new realm."

Qing Yiyi explained it simply in her own way: "When the time comes, you will have to give back to the world, protect your hometown, and go to work in the outer reaches of the world. You don't know how often you will be able to come back, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Hei Yang Hong Li nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's it!"

"what……"

Qing Yiyi opened her mouth slightly, then casually turned her head and asked, "Mu Guang, what do you think...?"

Qing Yiyi stopped halfway through her sentence, looking at Hei Muguang's still "profound" expression, his pupils slightly dilated, and a tic-tac-toe sign appeared above Qing Yiyi's head.

Qing Yiyi took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to twist Hei Muguang's head off in front of the child. She turned to Lan Yuying and asked again, "Yuying, what do you think?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

When Lan Yuying heard Qing Yiyi's question, she smiled gently, revealing a slightly troubled expression.

"Actually, just saying that Xiao Yang and Xiao Li can go out and get some fresh air, see the world, and not stay cooped up at home all day sounds pretty good."

It's just that we don't know how long it will take for him to come back, which is a bit worrying.

"Uh-huh!"

Hei Yang Hong Li nodded repeatedly: "Mother is wise, that's what we think too!"

"Well, in other words, if things go smoothly, the two of you might be back in a day or two, or a week or two..."

Qing Yiyi frowned: "It might take several years or even decades to grow?"

Hei Yang Hong Li: "!!!"

"Don't say such scary things, Mom!"

Hei Yang looked terrified.

"Decades? That's a really scary thought!"

"One thing to say, it's true!"

Hongli looked terrified.

"Although it is possible, just thinking about having to stay outside for more than three months is a bit unbearable for me."

"Not to mention decades, we'll die out there!"

"Xiao Li!"

Lan Yuying glared at her daughter and said, "You brat, what are you talking about, dying? It's such an unlucky thing to say!"

Hongli: "Ah, this..."

"Mom, um..."

Hongli couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you listen to what you have to say again?"

"Ah."

Lan Yuying gave a soft snort, which startled Hongli, who shrank back and dared not argue any further.

Meanwhile, Qing Yiyi was still rationally analyzing the situation.

"Isn't it possible that this could happen over several decades?"

Qing Yiyi shrugged and said, "You all said that some senior cultivators have been outside for hundreds or thousands of years. What are you doing here?"

We can't keep quiet just because we're afraid of that happening!

If you keep deceiving yourself, won't you be caught off guard when the real thing happens and you're not prepared?

"Well, actually I think Xiaoli means that if she can't come back in three months..."

Black Sun revealed his crescent-shaped eyes and muttered, "We might have to resort to some illegal means to smuggle ourselves in..."

"really."

Hongli nodded, clenched her little fists, and said angrily, "Anyone blocking my way from going home is an enemy who needs to be killed!"

"Girls shouldn't keep talking about 'ripping off' all the time."

Lan Yuying rolled her eyes at Hong Li and said with her half-moon eyes, "What kind of person are you to sneak back using illegal means? You'll be considered deserters, how embarrassing!"

"That's it."

Qing Yiyi chimed in, "Although I don't really agree with that kind of moral coercion that forces you to do something."

But this is different. The reason we can live such a peaceful life is because of the protection of those older generations. We owe them this.

When you're powerless, you enjoy people's kindness, but when it comes to taking responsibility, you can't just shirk it, right?

"Oh dear, that's why we need to scout out the location beforehand!"

Hei Yang sighed, slowly walked behind his mother, and earnestly massaged her shoulders with both hands.

"Mom, your reaction is different from what we expected. I thought that after finding out about this, we would hug each other and cry our eyes out, or at the very least, look very sad."

"uh-huh."

Hongli squatted down next to Lan Yuying and massaged her mother's legs just as attentively, saying in a low voice, "So you mothers are more enlightened than the two of us, huh!"

"Exactly! If we're not home for that long, you guys must miss us terribly!"

Hei Yang echoed in agreement, muttering, "Then no son will be able to massage your shoulders like this anymore."

"Uh-huh!"

Hongli nodded and said, "There's no daughter to massage your legs anymore!"

"Look at what you're saying. If crying and wailing were effective, Mom could squeeze out some tears for you too, okay?"

Qing Yiyi tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and comfortably enjoyed her son's filial piety.

"But you've already said how important this is. Crying and wailing won't change anything, will it?"

So I guess I just have to accept it.

Lan Yuying picked up the conversation and muttered, "I'm thinking about what luggage I should pack for you two when you leave."

By the way, isn't it cold outside? We should bring plenty of warm clothes...

There's also food. I'll cook a bunch of delicious food for you guys when the time comes, and then we'll go to the city to go on a shopping spree.

We'll try to prepare enough for you to last a few years. If it takes decades and you still can't recover, then you'll have to rely on your own efforts..."
