How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Look, you've seen it too. Your once brilliant, brave, ambitious, and all-powerful Sister Hongli has completely fallen from grace."

I'm so sorry, Xiaoyun, for making you take a good-for-nothing like me, who can't resist Hei Yang's temptations and is easily coaxed into obeying him, as a role model. This has had an immeasurable negative impact on the worldview and values ​​of teenagers...

But I had no choice; I couldn't live without him. So, although I felt ashamed, I wouldn't atone with my death or anything like that…

Hongli buried half her head in Heiyang's arms, muttering to herself in a resentful tone.

"Just laugh if you want to. It's my fault. I got carried away because Xiaoyun praised me. I acted all high and mighty in front of her, but actually I'm just a lazy bum who relied on my parents when I was little and now relies on my husband..."

"Ok?"

Xingyun tilted her head in confusion and asked the crucial question, "But Sister Hongli, you didn't leave me with any particularly virtuous or upright impression before. Everyone knows you like to slack off, right..."

"Ah this..."

Hongli's rambling stopped abruptly.

"Pfft..."

Hei Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, then coughed to appear calm.

"Ahem, well, I wasn't laughing at you, Xiaoli. I was just thinking about something happy..."

"Shut up, you dog Heiyang! What business is it of yours?! Don't you dare laugh at me in front of others!!!"

Hongli grabbed Heiyang's arm and bit it lightly with a fierce expression, then glared at Xingyun with a menacing look.

"And you, you brat Xiaoyun, don't be so rude as to blurt out the truth when I'm trying to act profound! You're so annoying!"

[Black Sun: Hey, who's the dog here?! Upper Tooth, huh?!]

[Hongli: Shut up, you big bad guy! I'm going to bite you!]

"Ahaha, sorry, Sister Hongli..."

Xingyun chuckled awkwardly, "I just saw that you looked embarrassed, Sister Hongli, and I wanted to comfort you..."

As a good friend, Xingyun wasn't so oblivious as to be completely unaware of Hongli's personality. After all, Hongli had always openly and honestly been lazy and hadn't tried to hide it.

"What kind of consolation is that? It's like saying, 'I believe you weren't acting, you're just bad at the game,' which is just as hurtful!"

Hongli leaned against Heiyang, looking aggrieved: "Since you know what my true nature is, why do you still look at me with such admiration? It's like I'm under idol pressure!"

"I admire Sister Hongli, that's all! There's no other reason!"

Xingyun snapped out of her daze and said with a grin, "It's because Sister Hongli is so much better at fighting than me, that's why I admire her!"

"And then what?"

Hongli narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Xingyun, saying, "What other reasons are there? Is that all?"

"Uh... um, ah!"

Xingyun nodded: "That's right! Hehe..."

"What? You could say a little more..."

Hong Li revealed dead fish eyes: "For example, I admire Sister Hong Li for being bold in love and hate and brave in pursuing her dreams; for example, Sister Hong Li is beautiful, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable..."

"Oh dear, I know all those good points!"

Xingyun smiled and said, "Besides that, Sister Hongli has many other good qualities!"

She always reminds me not to be fooled by bad people. Although she says she's impatient, she always tries to help me whenever I'm in trouble... In short, she's a great person!

How could I possibly be disappointed because Sister Hongli has a good relationship with her family!

"That's pretty much it..."

Hong Li pouted, raised Hei Yang's arm, placed his palm on her head, and immediately revealed a pleased expression, saying in a soft voice, "If I had known you would do this, I wouldn't have pretended."

Although it didn't last long, just pretending not to rely on Heiyang was already quite torturous.

Ah, as expected, a lazy bum like me is beyond saving...

"I think Sister Hongli is just fine the way she is."

Looking at Hongli's obedient appearance as her head was patted, Xingyun couldn't help but sigh, "It's about relying on and supporting each other with the person you love, living together and growing together."

This must be the sweet romance that the older sisters in the clan talk about, the kind of love that all girls dream of?

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand."

Hongli casually denied it three times in a row: "First of all, I don't really understand love or anything like that, and I don't need to and won't try to understand it anymore. Heiyang is enough for me."

Secondly, I don't know much about girls, such as liking to shop or being good at dressing and makeup. Those things are irrelevant to me, and I haven't paid much attention to many things that ordinary girls are interested in.

Of course, if she's shopping with Hei Yang and shows him her outfit, Hong Li is quite interested!

However, she didn't need to say much about this; it only meant that her interest lay with the Black Sun.

"Actually, not all girls are like what Sister Hongli said. Sister Hongli isn't like that, and neither am I..."

Xingyun thought for a moment and retorted, "To be honest, I'm pretty much the same as Sister Hongli. I don't have many interests besides cultivation!"

"But you're constantly being coaxed into buying memberships."

Hongli offered a quiet reminder.

Xingyun: "!!!"

Why did Sister Hongli suddenly attack and hurt people? Xingyun felt as if she had been stabbed twice in the heart...

"Haha, just kidding."

Hongli had no intention of making her best friend withdrawn, so she said, half comforting and half sincerely, "Actually, Xiaoyun and I are quite different. For example, Xiaoyun is much stronger than me!"

"Ok?"

Xingyun looked puzzled.

Is there anything strange about it?

Seeing Xingyun's appearance, Hongli asked in return, "Xiaoyun resolutely joined the sect to heal her father, and she has been working hard to become stronger. She is self-disciplined and optimistic. Isn't she much stronger than me?"

"But Sister Hongli is also very strong..."

Xingyun wanted to retort, but was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"No, I'll give up. I'm not strong at all. I secretly shed little pearls all the time."

Hongli snorted and said, "I'm different from you. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you are determined to overcome them on your own."

As for me, I've been used to relying on others since I was little—relying on my parents and Heiyang. When in doubt, I call on my husband. I'm nowhere near as good as you!

Hongli was speaking from the heart; she felt she was quite good at judging people.

Despite Xiaoyun's seemingly unreliable and easily scammed appearance, she is actually much more stable than she appears.

To put it dramatically, Xingyun is actually a very self-centered person.

It's not that she's selfish, but rather that she has very low material desires and is quite capable, so she insists on doing many things on her own.

She may seem to be easily trusting of others, but she rarely develops a sense of dependence on others. This can be seen from the fact that although her father hoped she could live a happy life like an ordinary girl, she took it upon herself to do things at her own pace.

Even opening memberships everywhere is just one way she arms herself with power.

This is a girl who seems silly on the surface, but is actually incredibly strong inside.

Hong Li, on the other hand, is always like a hedgehog, wary of everyone around her, as if she wants everyone to leave her alone and let life be peaceful.

In reality, when she lived alone in the sect, she would miss her parents and Hei Yang every night while burying herself under the covers.

Of course, compared to ordinary girls who haven't experienced many hardships, Hong Li is still very strong, but her strength can easily go to an extreme.

For example, if she hadn't received permission from the elders to leave the mountain and return home with Hei Yang, she might very well have run away or even fought her way out...

"I'm just not used to bothering others. Sister Hongli is praising me too much..."

Xingyun waved her hand sheepishly, her eyes slightly raised as she pondered, "But I really haven't thought about finding someone I can rely on like Sister Hongli. Maybe I will in the future?"

"Oh ho?"

Hongli became interested and asked curiously, "Does Xiaoyun also have thoughts of finding a boyfriend?"

"We don't have this one!"

Xingyun's face flushed red, and she quickly explained, "I was just making a random connection based on what Sister Hongli said, and I don't have any plans for that right now—at least not for the next five hundred years!"

"What kind of girl under twenty can talk about five hundred years right off the bat?!"

Wouldn't someone over 500 years old be considered an extremely old single woman?

"Are you trying to emulate Elder Jinxiu of the sect?!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 462 Why is Hei Yang considered a god? First and foremost, it's because Hong Li committed the sin of arrogance.

……

Hongli couldn't help but complain when she heard Xingyun's "500-year single declaration," and she also couldn't help but secretly verbally attack Jinxiu, who was far away in the Five Elements Sect.

"But it's quite surprising, actually..."

Looking at Xingyun's flushed face, Hongli couldn't help but smile and tease, "I never expected that Xiaoyun would be shy about having a boyfriend."
