How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"I'll go."

Hongling suddenly interrupted, chuckling as she said, "They just arrived and haven't had a proper look at the fireworks yet. I've been watching for ages. It'll be better if I take Xiaohuo back; everyone will feel more at ease then."

"what?"

Qing Yiyi and the others were stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Great-Aunt!"

Xiao Huo said he had no objection.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright, let's go, Little Fire!"

Hongling waved her hand dismissively and took Xiao Huo's hand, saying, "Don't worry, keep playing, have fun!"

Be careful on the road—

Lan Yuying was still a little worried and kept giving her instructions from behind.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's just a small place in the city..."

Hongling waved and quickly walked away.

Qing Yiyi and the others only looked away when they could no longer see the two figures, one big and one small. They exchanged helpless smiles and turned to their husbands to quietly enjoy the warmth of the moment.

………………

"Is your great-aunt trying to find an excuse to leave?"

After confirming that her maternal and paternal grandparents hadn't caught up, Xiao Huo breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at her great-aunt, who was holding her hand, with a grin: "After all, everyone else is in pairs, only great-aunt..."

"Shut up, don't say that, you little devil."

Hongling rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "As expected of Hongli's daughter, the little girl is just like her mother, getting more and more 'pleasant' in her speech!"

"Hehe, that means Little Fire guessed right."

Xiao Huo chuckled happily, recalling the stories her mother had told her about her great-aunt, accompanied by her mother's complaints in the background.

"Yes, yes, you guessed right, Little Fire is great."

Hongling praised the little girl expressionlessly, then said resentfully, "And soon your great-aunt will take you to meet yet another pair of lovebirds!"

"Haha, Grandma, there's no need to be so down..."

Xiao Huo chuckled twice, considering herself a kind and caring elder, and felt she should say a few words of comfort to her great-aunt: "Xiao Huo has always been a crane, so there's no need for great-aunt to worry too much..."

"How old are you? How old am I!"

Hongling wasn't comforted at all; instead, she became even more depressed: "It's already a tragedy in a sense that I've been reduced to comparing myself to a little girl like you."

"Ah, hehe."

Xiao Huo smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. It's too early for you, and it's too hurtful for me..."

Hongling shook her head, looked at Xiao Huo who was holding her hand obediently, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Do you want to speed up?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Huo paused for a moment, then suddenly tilted her head and smiled, revealing her neat white teeth: "Okay!"

A streak of crimson light, like a flame, flashed across the night sky.

Faintly, one could hear cries of "I didn't say it would be this fast," "Slow down," and "Help!"

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

Yang Li's house, on the rooftop.

Hongli and Heiyang lay nestled together on the bed, quietly watching the beams of light shooting into the sky in the distance, their expressions serene, as if enjoying a peaceful and idyllic life.

Hong Li still had those dead fish eyes, her expression seemingly unchanged.

But her cheeks were flushed, and just looking at them gave one a feeling of heat.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice an unusual dazed look in those dead fish eyes, suggesting that the owner of those eyes was already delirious.

Meanwhile, the culprit, Hei Yang, lay on his back with a subtle expression, seemingly watching the fireworks in the distance with a serious look on his face.

However, probably because he was afraid of the cold, his hands remained tucked under the covers.

As for Hong Li's consciousness, it was unknown where it had flown to at this moment. She had always had no desire to resist the unscrupulous villains surnamed Hei.

This is why Hongli always acts like she's climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, while Heiyang always says his wife is well-behaved.

This girl is only good at talking tough in front of him; Hong Li has always unconditionally trusted Hei Yang's words and actions.

She was the one who spoke ill of Hei Yang the most, and she was also the one who listened to Hei Yang the most.

Of course, on the other hand, if there's something Hongli wants to do, Heiyang will support her unconditionally—unless she wants Heiyang to take on all the housework in the future!

Of course, Hong Li still retains a tiny bit of clarity.

Although she had already lost face in this regard by fainting countless times, at most she could only be considered as Hei Yang being dishonest. If she could faint over this, she would be too weak and would never be able to hold her head up in front of Hei Yang again!

"Ugh..."

Hongli's eyes were still blurry, and she looked up, her vision blurred, as she vaguely saw the sky flashing crimson lights. Her voice was soft and weak as she said, "Honey, fireworks, fireworks are falling! They're so bright..."

"Those weren't fireworks, Xiao Li."

Hei Yang smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Hong Li's slightly feverish forehead, patting it gently: "She's our daughter who's on fire."

"Hmm, huh?"

Hongli felt a jolt in her head, and her eyes gradually cleared. When she came to her senses, she saw her little fire flapping its wings in the sky.

Hong Li was silent for a moment, then her spiritual energy surged, and her body became dry again.

The invisible shield on the roof opened automatically, and Little Fire happily waved from afar. It transformed back into human form, shook the flames off its hands, and jumped down: "Mom and Dad, I'm back to be with you!"

"You only realize you're coming back now?"

Hongli shook her head, shaking off the last trace of confusion. She reached out and easily caught the little fire that floated down from the sky like a leaf, and hugged it into her arms. The protective shield in the sky quietly closed automatically again.

"mua, I've missed you so much, Mom!"

Hongli hugged the little girl and showered her with kisses. Xiao Huo tried her best to tilt her little face back, but she couldn't escape her mother's clutches.

Only after being kissed enough by her mother was Xiao Huo able to move her face away.

"Mom and Dad have moved the bed up to the roof again. I wish I hadn't helped bring it down last time."

Xiao Huo looked around at his surroundings, sighed, glanced at his mother's familiar face, then turned to his father beside him, and suddenly chuckled, "Won't Xiao Huo's return bother you, Mom and Dad?"

"Tsk."

Hong Li clicked her tongue, using the same head-patting technique as Hei Yang, and ruffled Xiao Huo's red hair haphazardly, while saying with a disdainful look: "You're overthinking it, brat."

When your parents really don't want to be disturbed, you can't even come inside the house.

"Ah this..."

Xiao Huo's lips twitched, revealing dead fish eyes, and he said, "Mom's words are really heartless..."

"We didn't actually lock you outside."

Hongli rolled her eyes at Xiaohuo, then turned to look in the direction of the front door, asking curiously, "So Xiaohuo came back by himself? I don't think so, right?"

"Grandma and Grandpa won't let Xiao Huo walk by himself!"

Xiao Huo sighed and confirmed her mother's statement: "It was my great-aunt who brought me back, but she stopped when she was still some distance from the house and said that she would leave once she saw that I was home."

"really……"

Hongli nodded thoughtfully: "I was wondering why I could vaguely sense Aunt Hongling's presence, but she seemed quite far away. Did she stop so far from our house?"

"Why didn't you invite your great-aunt over for a visit?"

Hei Yang looked at Xiao Huo and took the opportunity to instill positive values: "When your great-aunt brings Xiao Huo back, remember to say thank you. You can also invite her over to visit. That would be more polite."

"Xiao Huo knows, Xiao Huo has always done what Dad usually asks, but Auntie said it's too late, so she won't be coming."

Xiao Huo explained what she had done to her father, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "And my great-aunt was muttering complaints, saying she didn't want to see that sickeningly sweet couple again anytime soon..."

"My aunt really is..."

Hongli broke out in a cold sweat and said awkwardly, "I thought that after taking over the family affairs, she wouldn't have time to think about those other things anymore. I didn't expect her heartbreak to be so severe..."

"Little Fire doesn't quite understand."

Little Fire stretched lazily in Hong Li's arms and casually said, "Even in the memories passed down by the Fire Crane, there are no complicated situations like those of humans."

If the young male and female cranes hit it off, they'll kiss and hug each other. If things go well afterwards, they'll meet up again later. If things don't go so well, they'll part ways amicably.

"Hey, what kind of scumbags and jerks are the Firecracker Clan?!"

Hongli was greatly shocked. She pinched Xiaohuo's cheeks with both hands, her face full of fear, and said, "Xiaohuo, you can't be like them! Choosing a mate is a major life event! It seems that 99% of the memories passed down from the Fire Crane are rubbish! Let Mommy instill the right values ​​in you!!!"

"Ninety-nine percent of it is rubbish, is that all? If Old Li Huohe heard that, he'd probably fight you to the death, Xiao Li."

Hei Yang stood to the side, smiling helplessly.

"Even if they fight to the death, they still can't beat me!"

Hong Li gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "Even if they are elders of the Little Fire Clan, don't even think about corrupting my Little Fire, or I'll blow an old bastard to pieces with one shot..."
