How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Here, it's back to its rightful owner."

Hongling spread her hands and smiled, saying, "It looks really good. Xiaoli has excellent taste."

"That's not."

Hong Li was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smug expression. She first praised her own good taste, and then looked at the books with delight.

"Hey, you're finally back! I've been missing you so much!"

As she spoke, Hong Li quickly but gently flipped through the books, checking for any damage. A faint red light flickered in her eyes, causing Hei Yang to glance at her.

This guy, is he using supernatural powers just to check if a book is damaged...?

But thinking about it carefully, it is indeed something that Hong Li could do.

The time when Hongli stops treasuring her books will be the time when they are truly wasted.

"Yes, your aunt has taken good care of you!"

Hong Li nodded in satisfaction and handed the books to Hei Yang, who nodded and accepted them.

Hongli didn't want Heiyang to check everything again; she wanted him to help her tidy up.

She rushed off that morning without even bringing a suitable storage bag. Luckily, regardless of his other qualities, Hei Yang is quite thoughtful about these little things in life. She might not have brought a storage bag, but Hei Yang certainly might...

"Ha, so what are you giving it to me for?"

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li with a puzzled expression.

"what?"

Hong Li raised an eyebrow. Did she really need to bring this up herself?

"Get it for me."

Hongli sighed and explained.

"Uh, I know what you mean."

Hei Yang paused, then couldn't help but say speechlessly, "I didn't bring a suitable storage bag either."

"what?"

Hongli tilted her head, giving me a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Uh, there's a container for food."

Hei Yang took out a storage bag and said quietly, "You can put the books in here, but if they get dirty..."

"Forget it!"

Hongli quickly waved her hand; she didn't want her book to get oil stains or anything like that.

"Give it to me, give it to me, I'll take it, okay?"

"Let me do it."

Hei Yang shrugged, hugged the books to his chest, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

"My dear wife is delicate and precious, you should rest from this kind of thing."

"Ah, hehe..."

Hongli couldn't help but smile.

"That's so embarrassing..."

"..."

Watching Hei Yang and Hong Li's actions, Hong Ling, standing to the side, had no idea what was going on.

She hadn't done anything, but suddenly a mouthful of food was stuffed into her mouth, almost choking her to death.

"Alright, alright, everyone must be tired after such a long journey."

Hongling urged softly, "Let's get to our accommodations first, eat and drink our fill, and then we can talk about all this other stuff..."

"okay."

"no problem."

Relieved to receive a positive response, Hongling turned to look behind her and said, "Stay close, don't fall behind, and don't wander off!"

"I understand, Master."

"Okay, Auntie."

"Understood, Auntie."

"Okay, cousin."

"Yes, don't worry, we know."

A cacophony of voices rose and fell, shouting all sorts of things.

Behind Hongling followed a group of children with innocent faces, both boys and girls, about ten or so.

Although they verbally agreed to Hongling's words, they were still curiously looking at Five Colors City, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

They had often heard of this city; having grown up in the capital, they had heard their elders mention the "Five-Colored City" more than once.

Out of curiosity, I asked my grandparents where exactly the Five Colors City was.

Why is it so heart-wrenching?

The grandparents replied: That's a hometown we can never go back to.

At the time, they didn't understand what it meant, and they probably still don't understand why their grandparents' expressions suddenly turned melancholy as they were talking.

But it doesn't matter if they don't understand. Now they've arrived at this legendary place and want to see what's so magical about it that keeps the adults at home on edge all the time.

However, no matter how long they looked around, they still couldn't figure it out.

After all, without the deep-rooted rural sentiments of their parents and grandparents, Five Colors City would really be just an ordinary city, a remote and impoverished place compared to the capital.

However, it is much quieter here compared to the capital.

Or perhaps these young men and women have never strolled the streets of such a peaceful and tranquil city before; in the capital, this would be a shameful waste of time.

The excitement gradually subsided as the environment became calmer.

The boys and girls huddled together, whispering and discussing how this place was different from the capital.

They felt that this place was suitable for doing homework or sleeping and resting, but not for staying for long, as it would make them lazy, and it lacked the vibrancy of the capital.

Living here for a long time will definitely make you feel very lonely.

When Hei Yang went to the capital, he also compared the differences between the two cities, but his views were completely different from those of these young men and women.

In Hei Yang's eyes, this was a warm and peaceful home, while the royal capital... was just a place where dozens or even millions of lonely people lived together.

They both felt that the other's city was not suitable for them.

Neither side is wrong; it's just a difference in lifestyle and habits...

(End of this chapter)

I couldn't think of a title for Chapter 440, so I just wrote one randomly.

"Alright, you can stay here."

Hei Yang led Hong Li, Hong Ling, and the others to an inn in the city. Because Hong Ling had given prior notice, they had already prepared the place for them to stay.

"Okay, thanks!"

Hongling waved her hand, thanking the two of them.

"Although Xiao Yang and Xiao Li sometimes cough, they are still very reliable when everyone needs them!"

"Um?!"

Hei Yang and Hong Li's eyes instantly turned dangerous as they stared at Hong Ling.

What's wrong with us sometimes?

"Oh, haha, that's not important, it's not important, I was just saying it offhand..."

Hongling waved her hand guiltily, turned her head with an embarrassed smile to look at the crowd behind her, and forcibly changed the subject.

"Alright, everyone, follow me. We'll be assigning accommodations now."

Please queue in an orderly fashion to enter the inn. No cutting in line, no running around, and no shouting. Understand?

Hong Ling revealed a serious expression, and combined with her original appearance, she gave Hei Yang Hong Li the feeling that she was really facing a veteran family head.

Sure enough, after a year of practical training, Hongling did not come away empty-handed.

"Once we've assigned you accommodations, then you'll proceed to check in, pack your bags, and everything is settled before you can disperse and move around freely. Understand?"

Hongling crossed her arms, looking completely businesslike.

"That's it. Do you have any questions about my arrangements?"

Speak your mind now, don't wait until everyone starts taking action or things are halfway done before complaining about not cooperating...

"In that case, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy. You'll go back the way you came. Then the Five Elements Sect's assessment and such will have nothing to do with you, understand?"
