How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"..."

The father froze, stiffly turning his head. When he saw the hurt and sadness on his daughter's innocent little face, his heart trembled as if it had been violently clenched.

What did he just do? He yelled at his daughter, he roared at his precious daughter whom he usually cherished and protected!

"Xiaoyun, I'm so sorry, Xiaoyun, I'm so sorry..."

The father apologized in an incredibly trembling voice, "Um, just now, Dad, I'm sorry, it was just, suddenly, you know, Dad's leg, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, can you forgive Dad? Don't hate Dad, okay?"

"dad……"

Looking at her father's pleading expression, Xiao Xingyun couldn't help but nod and cry, saying repeatedly, "Daddy, if Daddy doesn't want to get better, then he shouldn't get better. Xiaoyun won't force Daddy to get better anymore. Daddy, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Is it getting worse?"

The father paused, then gave a bitter smile.

"If Dad doesn't get better, how will he continue to take care of Xiaoyun?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Xiaoyun can learn to take care of herself. Xiaoyun has grown up!"

Xiao Xingyun quickly explained, "Not only can I take care of myself, but I can also take care of my dad!"

"That's it..."

The father looked at Xiao Xingyun and smiled helplessly.

"Then let's assume that Xiaoyun can take good care of herself."

But in the future, Dad might not be able to protect Xiaoyun's safety as well..."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xiao Xingyun shook her head repeatedly, patted her chest as if she wanted to say something, then paused, jumped off the bed, and walked to the back of the door.

With a struggle, she lifted the large knife her father used and dragged it to his bedside. She let out a long sigh of relief, looked up at her father, and smiled, "Xiaoyun will take care of Daddy and protect him from now on! Hehehehehe..."

Xiaoyun felt her arms suddenly go empty as her father's big knife was snatched away by the other party. The latter looked at Xiaoyun with complicated eyes, then at the knife in his hand, smiled and shook his head, and placed it aside where Xiaoyun couldn't reach it.

"This is too dangerous for Xiaoyun; she might hurt herself."

"Oh……"

Xiao Xingyun lowered her head, looking ashamed of what she had done wrong.

"Dad will get you a wooden knife first and teach you how to use it."

Xiao Xingyun was stunned when her father suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

The father looked at Xiao Xingyun and smiled.

"When you heard you had to learn it, did you get scared and regret saying you wanted to protect yourself and your dad?"

"!!!"

Xiao Xingyun's eyes widened, and she exclaimed urgently, "No, that's not true!"

"Xiaoyun will definitely learn very well!"

Xiao Xingyun showed a serious expression.

"Then protect Dad and our home!"

"It will be very tiring."

"Xiaoyun is not afraid of being tired."

"It will be very bitter."

"Xiaoyun has suffered too much!"

"..."

........................

"Ha, I can't wait to see Dad!"

Xingyun clenched her little fists and revealed a bright smile.

"Little Gaga!"

Xingyun turned her head again and called out to the side.

"Coming, coming, Mom, don't worry!"

Little Gaga ran over, dragging his little bundle.

"Gaga's all packed!"

"Hey, it's finally done."

Xingyun smiled and took Xiaogaga's package, putting it and her own package into the storage space. She checked the doors and windows and then closed the door.

"Sister Hongli, I'm getting ready to go!"

Xingyun looked to the side, and Xiao Gaga spread its wings and grew larger.

"Gaga, let's go!"

"Hmm, should we just fly back..."

On the other side, Hei Yang Hong Li had somehow gotten to the stove inside the house. Hong Li watched Xing Yun climb onto Gaga's back, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Hmm, I remember Wuguo City shouldn't be too far away. Have a safe journey, Xiao Yun!"

"understand!"

Xingyun chuckled, "I promise to obey Sister Hongli's orders, haha, let's go!"

"Gah!"

The Fire Crane spread its wings and flew towards the Five Elements Mountain outside the Fire Department. As the disciple's token glowed faintly, it passed through the barrier.

"Hey, that's right."

Hongli suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded her, "Remember to let me know you're safe once you get in touch, don't let your sister Hongli worry about you here!"

"understand!"

In the howling wind, Xingyun held her hair with one hand and the communication stone in the other, repeatedly agreeing.

"I will definitely let Sister Hongli know I'm safe as soon as possible!"

"Yes, and there's more!"

Hongli reminded him again, "Be careful on the road, don't be so careless as to bump into someone's airship or any other flying junk!"

"Don't worry, Sister Hongli, I'm not blind!"

Xingyun was very confident.

"Hey, if you run into any trouble, just say our names."

Hongli was still a little worried, and she reminded her again, "Better safe than sorry!"

"Okay, okay! Hehe!"

Xingyun waved her hand with a smile.

"Sister Hongli is like a mother to me!"

"Hey, you're much older than me, don't call me old!"

Hongli waved her hand in protest, and the protest echoed into the distant sky amidst Xingyun's laughter.

........................

"Waaah, my good disciple!"

At the summit of Five Elements Mountain, Elder Huo Le watched the receding figure of the Fire Crane gradually disappear into the distance, his face filled with reluctance.

"You absolutely must come back! Don't be like Xiao Li, who left and never came back. The elder will go crazy!"

"Then let's stop her."

Beside Elder Huo Le, Jin Xiu stood with his arms crossed, looking speechlessly at his sorrowful senior brother.

"As for..."

"Stop them? How can we stop them!"

Elder Huo Le turned around and glared at Jin Xiu, pointing at himself and saying, "Am I the kind of evil person who prevents children from running to their fathers and prevents disciples from having family reunions during the New Year?"

"Huh? Isn't that right? Back then, Hong Li..."

Jin Xiu rolled his eyes and waved his hand when he saw Elder Huo Le, who was glaring at him with his beard bristling.

"Tch, I came here out of kindness to comfort you, and you just glared at me. You really don't appreciate my good intentions."

"Did you come here to comfort me?"

Huo chuckled and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Huh? Me? What little scheme of mine?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Jinxiu's eyes. She turned her head away and snorted, "What do you know anyway?"

"Well, I know far too much about that."
