How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

“Hey, wait a minute, I’ll say something…”

Qing Yiyi took two steps back in surprise, then reached out and pinched Hei Yang's cheek uncertainly: "Is he really my son?"

"How could it be fake!"

Hei Yang revealed a helpless yet happy smile.

"Xiao Li, let go, let go of Mommy..."

Lan Yuying said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "You, you've overpowered Xiao Huo! Mommy's still holding Xiao Huo!"

"Oh dear, I know, I'm not blind!"

Hongli didn't want to let go: "I'm hugging Xiaohuo along with me!"

"Hmm, a little fire..."

Xiao Huo's voice was muffled: "Xiao Huo is fine..."

"Harmful."

Lan Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, then gave a helpless smile. She reached out and patted her daughter's back, asking, "What's wrong? You're back again? Did you forget something, or did you forget to tell me something?"

"Actually, you don't need to explain everything, since you've already said a lot."

Qing Yiyi straightened her son's collar and said, "Don't treat us like little kids who need to be told what to do. We're almost twenty years older than you."

Besides, you can contact us after you arrive at your destination!

Walking like this for less than half an hour and then turning back is really demoralizing. It's like giving up halfway through. Even though I, as Mom, am reluctant to leave you all, since I've made the decision…”

"Uh, Mom, may I interrupt you for a moment?"

Hei Yang chuckled twice and explained, "Well, we didn't turn back halfway. We actually reached our destination and then came back."

Qing Yiyi and the others: "Huh?"

"You mean you've finished what you were doing and that's why you're back?"

Qing Yiyi's expression was quite interesting as she said, "Could this be the legendary 'hundreds of years in heaven, a few minutes on earth'... But that doesn't make sense."

"Ahem, actually it's like this..."

After her initial excitement subsided, Hongli awkwardly released her mother and Xiaohuo. She exchanged a glance with Heiyang and began to explain in detail: "Well, when we got to the other side of the protective barrier, we used some kind of method to get out... blah blah blah, that's how it happened!"

"That's it!"

Everyone looked enlightened and nodded repeatedly.

"So, Xiaoli, you don't have to stay outside all the time anymore?"

Lan Yuying beamed with joy and couldn't help but ask to confirm, "Even if you have to go out to explore during the day, you can still come home for dinner in the evening, right?"

"Ah, you could understand it that way."

Hong Li scratched her head, turned to look at Hei Yang, and suddenly thought of something, revealing her crescent-shaped eyes.

[Hongli: Um, Yang, I suddenly thought of those seniors outside. They've been working so hard, waiting and hoping for so many years. We're just jumping around like this, doesn't that seem a bit annoying?]

[Hei Yang: Uh, it's okay. When you get beaten up, Xiao Li, just hide in my arms, and I'll hold you and help you take the damage!]

[Hong Li: !!!]

[Hongli: Honey, you're so gentle, I'm so happy I could cry~~~]

Hongli was deeply moved and decided to be more obedient and less aggressive towards Heiyang in the next few days.

"So that means none of what you told us before is needed?"

Hei Muguang rubbed his temples and waved his hand, saying, "That's good too. I don't have to worry about those troublesome things anymore."

"Hey, Hei Muguang, what do you mean by this?"

Qing Yiyi said unhappily, "Are you implying that my son and daughter-in-law have caused you trouble?"

"Ah this..."

Hei Muguang's hand trembled, and the finger he was using to rub his temples almost poked his eye. He quickly protested, "I didn't, Yiyi! You know I've always been the most patient..."

"Ah."

Not far away, seeing Hei Muguang sweating profusely, Hong Xiaochen's lips curled up slightly.

That brat wouldn't help me earlier, now it's his turn, isn't it? Karma's got it!

This scene was truly cathartic.

If his wife hadn't been there, Hong Xiaochen would have definitely drunk a few cups to liven things up.

Looking at the familiar scene before her, Hei Yang Hong Li felt at ease once again.

Fortunately, they can still come back, back to the simple and warm place they love most.

For Hei Yang and Hong Li, this successful attempt finally resolved a major issue in their hearts.

Ever since they entered the Nascent Soul stage, they have been secretly worried about this matter. No matter how optimistic they try to be, they are always vaguely worried that one day when their cultivation level reaches a point where they are forced to undergo tribulation and fly away, they will never see their families again.

Faced with this situation, even the most optimistic person will inevitably be affected. Just look at those once-proud and brilliant predecessors outside the protective barrier of the world; they all can't help but miss their hometown.

Not to mention Hei Yang and Hong Li, who have been homesick since childhood. The thought of never being able to go home again is enough to drive them crazy!

It is precisely because they always have their loved ones by their side that they are able to maintain a stable mindset, even if they were truly driven out of the world.

After letting her family know she was safe, Hei Yang Hongli, with a completely different mindset than before, came out of the world to formally reunite and communicate with the elders who had watched over them all these years.

"So, you two can really enter and exit the world shield at will without damaging the shield itself?"

Kong Yuqing and the elders looked intently at Hei Yang and Hong Li as they returned.

Although everyone had already witnessed the scene, they now wanted to hear the person involved admit it in person before opening the champagne, so as not to end up disappointed.

Hei Yang Hong Li, however, was not quite used to being the center of attention. She felt that the elders' burning gazes were rather frightening.

Hongli, remembering the earlier discussion about whether they would get beaten up, shrank back behind Heiyang guiltily. Not wanting to show weakness in front of others, she forced herself to say, "W-what? Didn't you all see it just now? We don't need to say it again, right?"

It turned out to be true!

The crowd erupted in gasps of surprise, while a chorus of whispers continued to murmur among them.

These elders, who pride themselves on cultivating their character over thousands of years, still couldn't help but express their shock to the younger generation.

"Such a thing really happened..."

In front of the crowd, a middle-aged woman, an elder from the Hong family, couldn't help but ask again to confirm, "You two children aren't lying to us, are you?"

"Hey, that's really underestimating people!"

Hei Yang Hongli couldn't help but retort, "Why would we need to lie?"

Immediately, an even louder gasp erupted from the crowd.

"They weren't lying!"

"It's true!"

"I never thought this day would actually come!"

"In that case..."

Seeing the excited people, including Kong Yuqing, Hei Yang Hongli felt a little flustered.

[Black Sun: Uh, they're probably happy, which means they probably won't beat us up?]

[Hongli: But the eyes of these elders are so scary! Are they thinking of killing us both and stealing our chance to travel between worlds? That's what I've read in so many storybooks!]

[Black Sun: Ah, but the pass is linked to both of us, so only we can use it, right?]

[Hongli: They didn't know about this binding thing. You just say you're binding them? Even if you really bind them, what if you accidentally revert these two little ones back to their unbound state?]

[Black Sun: Ah, this...]

[Hei Yang: When it comes to analyzing motives and guessing criminal thoughts, Xiao Li, you're always excellent!]

[Hongli: Hey, stop joking around, let's think about what to do next, should we run away?]

[Hei Yang: Ah, this can't be that bad, can it? After all, he's an elder who has protected us for so many years...]

[Black Sun: If they really wanted to go back, they could have worked together to break through this barrier and returned, but they chose to stay outside. That says a lot, doesn't it?]

[Hongli: I understand the logic, and I've also sensed that the Demon Heart Divine Power didn't detect any malice, but what if, right? What if!]

[Hongli: Not everyone is like you, Heiyang, whom I can trust unconditionally!]

[Hei Yang: That's true. Let me test the waters first. Xiao Li, you cover for me...]

[Hongli: Received!]

Hong Li swayed, shielding Hei Yang in front of her, then shrank behind him, revealing half of her face as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

"Ahem, um, calm down..."

Hei Yang thought for a moment, then looked at Kong Yuqing, whom he knew best, and gave her an awkward but polite smile: "Um, may I ask what you're discussing? I guess it's not related to me and Xiao Li, is it?"

What are you saying?!

Kong Yuqing couldn't help but say, "Of course it concerns you!"

[Black Sun: !!!]
