How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang made the suggestion, paused, and added with a subtle expression, "Besides, it's our own rooftop, so we don't have to worry about being caught by the homeowner this time. We can look however we want!"

"How much psychological trauma did you suffer from?"

Hongli winked at Heiyang, unable to resist teasing him for bringing up the old story again.

"After all, that time was really scary! You know that."

Hei Yang had quietly pulled Hong Li into his arms again, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "How was it?"

"Hmm, that's a good option!"

Hongli nodded, looked up at the ceiling, her gaze seemingly passing through the roof and landing on the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Remember to bring some food up, and don't forget to drink too," Hongli reminded her.

"I know."

Hei Yang stretched lazily and casually stroked Hong Li's hair: "You go up first, I'll go get ready..."

"Hmm, I'll go with you later."

Hongli shook her head, ruffling the hair Heiyang had just smoothed for her: "Am I supposed to go upstairs alone early in the morning to face the north wind?"

So you want to help me prepare?

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "Not bad, Xiao Li, your conscience is growing!"

"Nah!"

Hongli smiled radiantly: "Actually, I wanted you to carry me up..."

Hei Yang: "..."

"Climb, climb, climb! You should be grateful I didn't ask you to help carry things, why would I be thinking of carrying you up?"

Hei Yang rolled his eyes at Hong Li, waved his hand, and stood up, saying, "There's no room for discussion. If you want to go up, do it yourself!"

"That sounds weird..."

A black line appeared on Hongli's forehead as she pouted and said, "But my shoes are nowhere to be found, so they can't move by themselves!"

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you throw it away yourself?"

Hei Yang remained unmoved and said, "Anyway, it's just a small house. Go and search it yourself."

"ruthless!"

Hongli's face showed grief and indignation: "A cold-hearted man!"

"Hey, you little rascal."

Hei Yang paused, then turned his head and said quietly, "How about this, we switch places? I'll help you put on your socks and shoes, and you can go and prepare them?"

"That's not necessary!"

Hongli quickly shook her head, casually pulled on a pair of lace-trimmed black socks, and coughed lightly. A pair of shoes floated out from the corner by themselves: "I was just joking with you, Heiyang. You didn't take it seriously, did you? Hahaha... Um, honey, good luck! I'll wait for you on the roof!"

"You brat, tsk..."

Hei Yang chuckled and shook his head, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've changed my mind about how long you've been dawdling. Come over and help me tidy up... Thinking about it, I almost let you slack off again!"

"Huh?" Hong Li blinked, looking confused, as if she hadn't heard Hei Yang's words clearly.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Don't think you can get away with being cute."

Hei Yang leaned against the door, arms crossed, staring intently at Hong Li: "I'll stand here and wait for you, hurry up."

"The two of us can get it done in no time."

"No need to discuss?"

Hongli clung to her last glimmer of hope.

"No."

Hei Yang answered without hesitation.

"yes----"

Seeing Hei Yang's appearance, Hong Li knew she couldn't escape. She sighed, and her previously leisurely movements suddenly became clean and efficient. In the blink of an eye, she was dressed and came to Hei Yang's side, reaching out to tug at his arm.

"Let's go~ Honestly, in the end I still have to do it! I need help with even this little thing, Hei Yang is so lazy."

"Who's really being lazy?!"

The two pushed open the door, and a commotion could be faintly heard in the distance.

Looking into the distance, fireworks burst in the sky, brightening my eyes.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 466 I love the warmth of everyday life, but I also avoid the glitz and glamour of the world of fame and fortune.

Fireworks burst in the sky, illuminating their faces.

Fireworks and starlight complement each other, and as soon as you see them, you realize that another year has passed.

The wind was rather chilly at the end of the year, and the howling of the cold wind was especially clear once you got to the roof, as if it were blowing right next to your ear.

But the wind was just a sound; thanks to the magic array buried deep in the foundation, the chill could not penetrate into Yang Li's comfortable courtyard all year round.

This is merely a minor, side function of the magic array in its power-saving standby mode, and most of the time, its main purpose is to maintain a spring-like environment in the home all year round.

Only in special circumstances, such as enemy invasion, unidentified bombing, or meteorite impact, will the magic circle truly charge and deploy its protective shield.

The magic array on the foundation was originally set up by the senior brothers and sisters of the Five Elements Sect when they helped build the house. It is a youthful home version of the Five Elements Sect's mountain-protecting array.

The original youth version was clearly not capable of withstanding a meteorite; even a Golden Core cultivator could easily break it down in a short time.

So after Heiyang Hongli moved in, in order to feel at ease living there, she couldn't resist making some minor modifications. She would make changes today, make changes tomorrow, and make more changes whenever she felt like it, and gradually it became unrecognizable.

As a result, the magic array of the Heiyang Hongli family is now so different from the mountain-protecting array of the Five Elements Sect that it is not only completely different, but also quite unlike it.

Even if you bring over your senior brothers and sisters from back then and point it out to them, they probably wouldn't recognize a single trace of the magic array you set up back then.

Of course, Hei Yang Hong Li didn't modify it to the point of being as outrageous as the Planetary Shield.

It's only slightly more efficient, slightly stronger in defense, slightly smaller in core area, slightly wider in maximum controllable range, and slightly better in resource utilization than the Five Elements Sect's mountain-protecting formation.

This is also one of the sources of Heiyang Hongli's confidence to lie on the roof in the dead of winter without being afraid of freezing.

Just as Hei Yang said, the two of them worked together and in the blink of an eye, they had everything ready.

Hei Yang carried a bed, and Hong Li carried a bag of food. The two of them quickly climbed up to the roof.

When they were children, they often slept on the rooftop on hot summer nights like this. However, compared to then, they no longer need to bring mosquito repellent incense or similar items.

Of course, they didn't bring a bed when they were young; at most, they would make a makeshift bed on the roof and still sleep soundly.

But who would lie on a hard floor if they could lie in a bed? Anyway, for Hei Yang now, the weight of a bed is almost negligible.

Heiyang Hongli's family may not have as many types of furniture as some other families, but they have a lot of beds. They brought over several in bulk to keep as spares, and now they're in use.

There are even many sofas and chairs that were moved up there before. They have never been moved down since they were moved up and have remained on the roof. Anyway, no matter how the wind or rain blows, it can't get in, so there's no fear that they will spoil over time.

Hei Yang felt that based on his and Hong Li's habits, they would eventually stop needing to prepare anything in advance to sleep on the roof; they could just climb up, lie down on the bed, and that would be it.

"Let me see what you've prepared..."

Hei Yang untied the large bag that Hong Li had carried and calmly picked through the items: "Sunflower seeds, peanuts, hard candy, beef jerky, raisins, dried fish... uh, this is weird, can I eat these together?"

"Don't worry, it won't kill you."

Hong Li was carefully making the bed by the bedside, giving off a somewhat virtuous wife and loving mother vibe. She waved her hand and explained, "Let's just make do with this. It's the middle of the night, I can't exactly call the auntie serving food at the Five Elements Sect's canteen, can I?"

It gets dark earlier over there than here, so it's probably well past dinnertime by now. I don't want to bother anyone at this time.

"I thought it was running around the clock over there."

Hei Yang grabbed a handful of beef jerky, slowly stood behind Hong Li, and calmly watched her smooth out the wrinkles on the sheets: "This is a cultivation sect, after all. You said cultivation has no time, so why do you need to rest at night?"

"We have no concept of time, but we do distinguish between day and night. That's fine. We are a legitimate sect and we don't exploit people."

Hongli looked at the neatly made bed, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and then pounced forward to bury herself in it, instantly making the neat bed messy again. She also made some comfortable groans that made Heiyang's heart flutter.

Shaking his head, Hei Yang forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about those messy images. He had agreed to come up to watch the fireworks, so he couldn't just pass out halfway through, could he?

Besides, we're not locked in the bedroom now, so we're still a bit restricted...

"Cough cough."

Hei Yang coughed lightly, squinted at Hong Li, and complained, "Do you really have to pounce on the bed like that? Does that mean all your efforts were wasted?"

"Oh dear, you can't think like that."

Hongli rolled around on the bed: "Making a neatly made bed messy is a different experience than just lying on a messy bed."

"What nonsense is this?"

Hei Yang revealed dead fish eyes: "You mopped the floor clean just so it would feel better to step on it with your shoes?"

"Um……"

Hong Li pondered for a moment, then casually said, "It's probably the same principle as someone making someone wear clothes they've carefully prepared and then immediately tearing them up."

Hei Yang: "..."
