How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Well-reasoned and supported by evidence."

Hei Yang sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Convincing."

"hey-hey."

Hongli smiled smugly, jumped into bed, lifted one side of the covers, and patted the empty spot next to her: "Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Stop covering your face there and come over here."

Hei Yang clicked his tongue lightly. Faced with Hong Li's expectant invitation, he didn't say much. He also crawled into the quilt, snuggled up to Hong Li, and lay down next to her.

Seeing Hei Yang obediently lie down, Hong Li nodded in satisfaction, feeling immediately at ease.

She tugged at the blanket, leaned back, and her head naturally rested on an arm that had somehow appeared. In a daze, she was pulled into an embrace, her face beaming with sweetness.

Nestled together, the two gazed at the dazzling fireworks bursting in the distant sky. Their usually listless eyes were now wide open, reflecting the starry night sky.

……

"Hey Heiyang, tell me, should we come up when the fireworks have just started, or when they're halfway through?"

"I don't know, but it's also possible that we only started watching when it was almost over?"

"Oh no, that can't be..."

……

"Hey, honey, honey, do you think all these fireworks going off in the sky will burn down the mountain not far from here? I never thought about that when I was a kid!"

"Uh, probably not. I think I heard my dad mention that there's someone specifically in charge of this around this time of year..."

"Oh, I see. That must be quite tiring."

“We live close to the other side of the mountain, so we can help keep an eye on things.”

"Too……"

……

"Yangyang."

"what?"

"How long have those elders in the cultivation world outside been guarding it? Do they still celebrate the Spring Festival outside the world?"

"How would I know that?"

"Too……"

……

"Black Sun, do you think we really have to go find that legendary utopian universe? Aren't we doing just fine now? Since we're already far from the conflicts, let's stop. Those predecessors wouldn't have to suffer so much..."

"Xiao Li, I don't know either. I'm not that much older than you, but since so many people have persevered for so many years, there must be a reason for moving forward..."

"Too……"

……

"Heiyang, do you think we can succeed in the end? What if we fail?"

"Who knows what will happen then? Let's just take it one step at a time."

"Too……"

……

"Heiyang, didn't we just want to live happily with our families back then? That goal hasn't changed. So why are we now facing a matter of life and death that will determine the fate of the world?"

"do not know."

"..."

……

"Many people say we don't fit in, Hei Yang, do you think our temperaments are really that strange?"

"do not know."

"..."

……

"Hei Yang, how come you don't know anything about this?"

"I don't know that either."

"..."

……

"Black Sun, will you always stay with me?"

"meeting."

You're the best!

[Congratulations to your contract partner (Hei Yang Hong Li) on successfully advancing to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm!]

"Amazing……"

Little Fire was held in someone's arms, looking up at the sky. Her little mouth was slightly open, her red eyes were filled with the dazzling fireworks, and her face was full of shock.

"How about that small fire? Pretty spectacular, right?"

Qing Yiyi held the little girl high, gazing at the same sky, and said with a bright smile, "I come to see this every year, and I never get tired of it!"

Lan Yuying stood to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling softly, and sighed in agreement, "Because even though the scenery is similar every year, there are always different and novel things that appear every year."

"Little Fire can fly higher than those fireworks, and it can also spew out more powerful flames!"

Little Fire paused, stretched out its little hand, and a few seemingly ordinary little flames popped out of its palm. It pouted, "But Little Fire's flames look so ordinary, not as pretty as theirs..."

"Oh my little darling, what are you doing? Quickly put your fire back."

Hongling suddenly appeared from the side.

She stared intently at the few seemingly ordinary little flames in Xiao Huo's hand, feeling the immense energy contained within them with a look of terror on her face, her heart pounding in her throat.

Her intuition told her that these few ordinary little flames could easily ignite her red spirit!

This, isn't this right?

If she remembered correctly, Little Fire was just a little flamingo that was less than two years old.

She was someone who had raised the Firecracker, so how could she not know that the Firecracker could do this?

I've never seen her pet flamingo suddenly produce these strange things...

What on earth are these parents feeding this little girl?!

"Hey? It's my great-aunt!"

Little Fire paused for a moment, then turned to see Hong Ling suddenly appear. Quickly realizing what was happening, she clenched her little fist and extinguished all the flames, waving and greeting, "Grandma, you've come to see the fireworks too?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Hongling shuddered, realizing she hadn't died in the "out-of-control explosion," and waved awkwardly, saying, "Yes, yes, my great-aunt was handling family matters remotely for half the day and was thinking of coming out to relax, but she didn't expect to run into you all..."

She did see a familiar relative and wanted to come over to say hello, but as soon as she got a little closer, the hairs on her body stood on end—a warning that her life was threatened.

"Oh, that!"

Xiao Huo suddenly realized and thoughtfully reminded her, "Grandma sounds very tired, she really needs to rest!"

My parents also said that you need to balance work and rest. Rest is for more efficient work. The more you rest, the more efficient you will be at work. So, making sure you rest is the same as working hard..."

Hongling: "???"

"Ahem! Little Fire, wait a minute..."

Qing Yiyi was about to greet them when she was caught off guard by what a couple said from Xiao Huo. She almost lost her composure, her forehead creased, and she gave her best friend a look with a twitching smile.

Hurry up, Yu Ying! You're the more eloquent one between us, so explain this to Xiao Huo!

Lan Yuying: "..."

Lan Yuying sighed, rubbed her forehead, shook her head, and gave a helpless smile. She gently and patiently explained to Xiao Huo, "Xiao Huo, Grandma wants to tell you that you have to listen to your parents' words critically. Sometimes what they say isn't necessarily right..."

"Huh? Is that so? (#Д)!"

Xiao Huo nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Qing Yiyi quickly spoke up to break the silence. She nodded and smiled at Hongling, steer the conversation back to fireworks.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Ah Ling, you're here to watch the fireworks too! Haha, what do you think?"

"Not just okay!"

Hongling was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the sky, her eyes sparkling, and said, "This is a beautiful sight I've never seen before!"

"Eh?"

Lan Yuying, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Lingling, haven't you seen a similar scene in the capital?"

"In the capital, I don't really know if there are any events like this..."

Hongling smiled somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "Because I went up the mountain and joined the sect when I was very young, I have only kept in touch with my family through letters for many years, so I don't know anything about the situation in the capital."
