How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

A sense of unease began to rise in Hong Li's heart.

"Auntie, you're not thinking of hitting me, are you?"

"No way, I must be overthinking it. How could you, as an elder, bully someone younger than yourself..."

"You still remember I'm your elder!"

Hongling's fist gradually approached Hongli's face, and the latter stared wide-eyed, her head instinctively tilting back.

"No, don't do that, Auntie, that's no fun."

Hongli muttered under her breath, "I still remember when we first met, you were so gentle... Ouch!"

"I was young then and didn't see your true colors, Xiao Li."

Hongling casually tossed Hongli back onto the bed and sighed, "How can I be gentle when you're like this!"

"Stop sighing like that!"

Hongli waved her hand: "One failure is nothing, there's still poetry and a distant future ahead... uh..."

Seeing that her aunt's expression was off, Hongli quickly coughed twice: "Ahem, what I just said were all wrong examples. Do you really like that person?"

"Uh-huh……"

Hongling's eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Hongli's arms: "I really like him so much, but he only sees me as a sister, sob sob..."

"Wow, this is an old woman eating a young girl!"

Hongli was horrified: "Auntie, this is not proper torture!"

"What are you saying? He's only six months younger than me!"

Hongling composed herself, sat up, and took a deep breath: "Anyway, you're right, let bygones be bygones, there's still poetry ahead..."

"I'm talking complete nonsense!"

Hongli interrupted loudly: "If you really like it, then go for it!"

"but he……"

"Married?"

"No."

"Are there any kids?"

"nor."

"Isn't that even simpler?!"

"???"

A bunch of question marks appeared above Hongling's head: "So, in the first place you planned to teach me how to break up other people's families???"

"that's not important!"

Hongli waved her hand dismissively: "The important thing is..."

"No, that's very important!"

Hongling said seriously, "As your aunt, I have a duty to help you develop the right values. You should know that breaking up other people's families is extremely immoral and should be condemned!"

"Oh, I know."

Hongli looked puzzled: "Auntie, do you think this is normal? Is your thinking that dark?!"

"???"

Hongling's head was filled with more and more questions: "No, you're turning the tables on me, aren't you? It wasn't you who said that..."

"correct."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "Anyway, it's not like I broke up someone else's family. Aren't you the villain who broke up other people's families?"

"???"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me!"

Hongli kicked her legs and slid to the corner of the bed. She grabbed the little fire crane next to her and said warily, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

"Chirp?"

Little Flamingo didn't know how a human mouth could utter such cold words. All she knew was that she might not be human, but this mother was a real dog!

"..."

Hongling looked helpless and finally sighed deeply. She was such a cute girl, how could she be like this!

"Alright, alright, put Hezhi down, and I won't hit you anymore."

Hongling rubbed her forehead and said, "You almost led me astray, and I forgot the important reason for coming here."

Xingyun has come to me many times, saying she wants to have a fair duel with you. According to the sect rules, this is a normal request in previous years.

Normally, the top student would be eager to take this opportunity to defeat their peers, establish a formidable reputation, and gain prestige.

The result is that it ended up with you...

If you wait a whole month and haven't accepted a single challenge, that would look really bad, and people would laugh at you..."

"It's a joke, so be it!"

Hongli shook her head frantically: "Fine, then we won't fight!"

"Don't rush..."

Hongling sighed: "I can help you reject the other challenges, or rather, all the other challengers have been defeated by Xingyun, so you just need to fight her again and everything will be fine."

One battle a month, are you satisfied with that?

"do not want!"

Hong Li pouted, gently put the little fire crane down, lay quietly on the bed, closed her eyes, and peacefully placed her hands on her abdomen: "You might as well just beat me up, I won't resist, go ahead and do it, as long as I don't fight back..."

"..."

Hongling's lips twitched, and her voice was distorted with shock: "Please, daughter, we don't have to go this far!"

"I think this is fine, it's quite respectable."

"and many more……"

Hongling suddenly thought of a possibility: "You wouldn't be afraid of not being able to beat her, so you're avoiding the fight, would you?"

"Haha, what a joke!"

Hong Li opened her eyes, her face showing disdain: "That little cutie, I can at least fool her... cough cough, I can take her down in one round at most."

I was afraid that it would hurt her self-esteem, and that I would be forced to stand out and get into trouble, which wouldn't be good for anyone.

"Really... so confident?"

"uh-huh?"

Hong Li casually said, "Don't you know I'm already at the second level of Qi Refining? What does she have to fight me with? Her courage?"

"Speaking of which, I did hear a few days ago that you had already reached the second level of Qi Refining..."

Hongling grasped Hongli's hand and gently used her spiritual power to sense the other's cultivation level: "Hmm...uh..."

The next moment, Hongling quickly let go of the other person's hand, her face somewhat pale.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Hong Li turned her head and looked at Hong Ling: "Were you scared by my cultivation level?"

"Ugh, no, it's that... um..."

At this moment, Hongling felt her heart filled with all sorts of negative emotions and was extremely agitated. Frightened, she quickly activated her inner fire to burn away all the distracting thoughts...

"call……"

Hongling let out a long breath, her face still not looking too good. She looked at Hongli in shock: "Xiaoli, you have already learned the technique to avoid being detected by others, and you have even cultivated it to such a profound level?"

"Ah, no... uh..."

Hongli was about to retort when she suddenly remembered a passive skill she had acquired before, and her heart sank.

Skill: Mentality Collapse

Quality: green

Effect: Blocks the cultivator's ability to detect all information. Forced detection will cause the other party to experience negative emotions such as "dizziness", "nausea", "frustration", "disheartening", "despair", and "shattered Dao heart".

Scope of application: Foundation building stage and below

Synopsis: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss grumbles, "Who's worthy to gaze into me these days?"

"hiss……"

Hongli gasped, "Um, it seems like I did learn something similar..."

"Hmm... I knew it..."

Hongling gently pressed her temples, still feeling a little dizzy: "You, you take back the spell, let your aunt see what realm you are."

"Mmm... Ouch!"
