How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

To put it bluntly, she just really didn't want to move. All that talk about being full of energy in the morning was a lie; after taking a couple of steps, she instantly returned to reality.

Let's just stay here at this restaurant until night, like before, with the dark...

Hongli suddenly realized something, and looking at the empty seats in front of her, she felt a little empty inside...

[Hongli: Heiyang?]

[Black Sun: Hmm, what's up?]

Damn, what's wrong? Is it okay to say something like "I miss you"?!

Hong Li pouted, feeling a little annoyed.

[Hongli: What are you doing?]

[Heiyang: Let's eat. What else can I do during mealtimes?]

[Black Sun: [Image] Want a bite?]

[Hong Li: What the hell?! I'll chew your head up and mix it into my rice!]

Looking at the picture, Hong Li could feel the lively atmosphere around the Black Sun family members' dining table, with several children chasing and playing behind them. Even without hearing their voices, she could sense the excitement.

On the other hand, although it was just as noisy, she felt isolated from the world, a feeling of being all alone that was somewhat suffocating.

She wasn't the type to enjoy crowds, but now she felt a deep sense of loneliness, and subconsciously, she felt like crying...

I don't know why, I'm just unhappy...

[Hongli: Can you turn on the video on your end?]

[Hei Yang: Wait five seconds, I'm going to shovel these two bites of rice down!]

[Your contract partner (Black Sun) has sent a video call invitation. Do you wish to accept...?]

"accept!"

"Can you see it? Can you see it?"

Hei Yang had somehow already run out of the house, jumped onto the roof of an attic, and sat on the edge of the eaves, with the blue sky behind him: "Hong Li? Hong Li? Please respond if you receive this!"

"Ah, I saw it."

Hongli lay on the table, staring at Heiyang's face. She subconsciously wanted to smile, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she forced a smile back: "You're still in the capital? Don't you plan to go back?"

"It will be soon, at the latest in about a week."

Hei Yang gazed into the distance and shook his head: "I'll leave within a week at the latest. This city is quite nice, but there are some things I don't feel comfortable with."

"Tch, so pretentious."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "What exactly was that scheme you mentioned earlier?"

"Ah, it's nothing, nothing to talk about."

Hei Yang waved his hand casually: "Don't worry about it."

"real or fake?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Isn't this a lie?"

"This time it's true!"

"Oh, I believe you... Oh, wait, my food is here."

Hongli watched as Xiao Huo not only ordered the food, but the owner also personally and respectfully brought it to her. She stretched her neck and moved her head off the table.

Unlike the Five Elements Sect, where meals require spirit stones, the taverns run by ordinary people outside are paid for with worldly valuables.

She was penniless within the sect, but outside she was still the young lady of the Hong family, as long as she didn't have to worry about food.

It moved its chopsticks a little, but didn't pick up much food. It watched as the little fire next to it tried to hold the chopsticks with its claws and wings, but eventually gave up and just put them in its mouth.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be laughed at, but Xiao Huo's appearance attracted glances from those around her from time to time, with smiles in their eyes, probably because they were charmed by her cuteness.

In fact, the residents of Five Elements City have seen many disciples of the Five Elements Sect and various spirit beasts, but this is the first time they have seen a little crane like Little Fire, which was born not long ago.

Hongli could easily guess what those people were thinking. She also thought that this little fire, which could be easily grasped, was quite cute. However, children eventually grow up, and in a while, the little fire would probably grow bigger than her.

The thought that she wouldn't be able to knead the small fire like this anymore made Hongli feel a sudden sense of loss.

Lately, she's been feeling insecure and anxious, like she's not even herself anymore.

"Hey, Xiao Li?"

Hei Yang's somewhat puzzled voice came from behind: "Why do you look a little unhappy? What's wrong? Did you lose a fight?"

"Oh, I'm so happy."

Hongli retorted stubbornly, "Look at me, look how happy I am! Hahaha, aren't you happy!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Okay, okay, I am a little annoyed."

Hongli muttered softly, "I don't know what's wrong, maybe it's just the change in environment."

I guess it's possible.

Hei Yang frowned, thinking, "Look at you, you can't even muster the energy to scold me anymore, this is a bit serious!"

"Are you fucking crazy? Do you like being yelled at?!"

Hongli couldn't help but lower her voice and scold, "If I weren't outside right now, I would have scolded you until you cried, until you were crying and calling for your mother!"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

"Don't you dare make sarcastic remarks about me!"

"OK then."

Hei Yang's mind raced, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "By the way, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Hongli turned her head curiously: "Let me guess, you want to ask me what gift I'm going to give you for your birthday this year?"

Please, my dear brother, your birthday is almost a month away, why are you asking now?

"Oh...you mean it..."

Hei Yang paused for a moment: "That is indeed a matter, so what are you planning to give me?"

"How about I slap you twice?"

Hongli said irritably, "So since you're not asking about my birthday, what are you trying to say?"

Don't ask me what gift I like, okay? I'm not going to tell you that my birthday wish is to read your... diary!

"What a clever deliberate hint."

Hei Yang snorted: "Actually, it's nothing big. I'm planning to come visit you in a few days, so remember to get ready to welcome me!"

"boom!"

"Chirp!"

Little Lihuo was enjoying her meal when a loud crash came from the side. She instinctively turned her head and saw that her mother had somehow fallen to the ground.

"Holy shit, holy shit, what the hell did you say?!"

Red Glass Eyes Like a Typhoon and a Tsunami: "How could you come here now..."

No, I mean, how did you manage to launch a surprise attack...?

No, I mean... I mean..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 85 Calm down? Calm down my ass!

"No, I mean, I mean..."

Hongli patted the dirt off her bottom, glanced at the crowd looking in her direction, and sat back down as if nothing had happened. She ignored the small fire with food still stuck to its beak and said in a somewhat hurried voice.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come over? I mean, why are you coming now?"

"what?"

Hei Yang tilted his head, a displeased expression on his face: "Wait, you don't welcome me, do you?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Hongli quickly retorted, "I meant, I meant why you only just arrived, no, you couldn't have come, no, it's enough that you came, you don't have to show up, no, could you come and not come at the same time, no, no... Ah!!!"

"beep!"

Your contract partner (Hong Li) has hung up the video call.

[Black Sun: ???]

[Hongli: Um... the signal is bad, I'll contact you later!]

[Hongli: That's all, I'm hanging up now!]
