The inheritance rooted in my soul tells me that the lazier we are, the stronger we will become."
"Damn it, what an enviable racial talent!"*2
Black sun, red glass, lemon, some otters are born at the finish line...
"My limbs were weak and it was difficult to move, so I rested instinctively. I found that I didn't need to eat because the energy I gained from being lazy was enough to sustain my life."
The sloth ignored the two people around him who were jealous to the point of ferocious looks, and continued talking to himself.
"Just like that, day by day, I felt that I had grown up, became stronger, and was able to move on my own, but I didn't want to move at all. Isn't that good?
Well, some of our fellows don’t seem to think so. When I hear rustling noises, there are always some of our fellows who can’t stand the loneliness and want to run, jump, communicate with other creatures, and see more of the world.
Why go against your natural instincts?
I don’t understand. Why do we have to do unnecessary things when we can just be lazy?
They go to eat, to make friends, to travel, to reproduce... I don't have those worldly desires.
Of course, I would occasionally open my eyes and take a look out of curiosity... Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm a serious creature!"
A cross appeared on the sloth's head, and he clenched his fists and roared at the two guys wearing tinted glasses.
Damn it, they treat it like that just because their own brains are full of crap?!
"I'll take the liberty of asking."
Heiyang raised his hand: "Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I'm a female! Crawl!"
Even a sloth with a good temper can't resist the urge to curse.
Take a deep breath, adjust your mood, and continue speaking.
"I'm so pissed off. Damn it. Where was I talking about?"
"Occasionally take a look."
Hongli raised her hand to remind him.
"Oh, yes, I take a look now and then."
The sloth shook his head and continued.
"There's nothing to see here. A bunch of people from the same clan who were born earlier than me, but they are not as strong as me. Their realms are pitifully low. It's obvious that they are lazy and don't work hard!"
"Why does this sound so strange..."*2
The corners of the two audience members' mouths twitched.
"Sure enough, what happened later proved that I was right."
The sloth said proudly, “Let’s not talk about those guys who died of old age because their realms didn’t catch up with their lifespans, let’s just talk about a certain day in the future.
That day I was sleeping as usual, when suddenly there was an earthquake, howling winds, lightning and thunder - at that time I thought it was the end of the world, but later I realized it was just two groups of monks fighting each other.
The aftermath caused a large number of casualties among my people. If we are still in danger at home, then those who go out will be in even greater danger, right? That's what I think.
I was blown away by the strong wind, injured, but recovered quickly.
I was blown into the lake and swallowed by a big fish, unharmed.
The big fish were caught and encountered a mudslide during transportation, but I remained calm.
The soil dried outside my body, solidifying me into a sculpture, and I was not afraid.
After I was discovered, I was put on display at the counter and they said I was a specimen of a species that had been extinct for many years. I didn't bother to argue.
A group of robbers rushed in and robbed me and other exhibits, but I remained calm...
I don't care, I go with the flow, I let the tide of the times take me wherever it takes me. The people and things around me are changing, but I remain at peace.
Many big people who are stronger, smarter and have higher status than me have also fallen for various reasons, but I survived because I don’t fight or compete, and I don’t have any bad intentions.
It seems that thinking is useless and will cause me a lot of unnecessary troubles, so I simply gave up thinking.
Just like that, I don’t care about anything, I don’t know anything. Occasionally I feel my eyelids itchy, and when I open my eyes I’m always in a strange environment, but I don’t care.
Just like I don't know how I got here, I don't want to think about what you will do to me, whatever."
The sloth yawned, slowly curled up his body, fatigue appeared on his face again, and he waved goodbye to Heiyang Hongli.
"Well, I think I have said everything I want to say in this life, and I have no regrets...
To be honest, laziness is not entirely without harm. The lazier you are, the lonelier you will be... Maybe, who knows?
Well, I wish you two Taoist friends a long-lasting relationship and a happy life... Yawn... Goodbye..."
Under Heiyang Hongli's gaze, the sloth fell into a deep sleep, breathing leisurely.
There have been many people or things that have tried to make it anxious, but in the end, it was still helpless.
After all, no one can win against someone who is too lazy to fight.
"Well, this guy..."
Hong Li frowned and whispered, "This guy is heartless. He has no interest in anything and would rather step into nothingness..."
"The world is still beautiful, but it sees the world as full of troubles... although it is true."
Heiyang smiled helplessly and spoke softly.
"If I hadn't met you, maybe I would have closed myself off like it did, taken care of my parents until they passed away, and then left with them.
Even my leaving is meaningless because no one remembers and no one cares. ”
"Nonsense, there is no if."
Hongli took Heiyang's hand and held it tightly.
"Everyone is here, you are here for me, and you are here for me."
"I know."
Heiyang shook his head and laughed.
"It's just that I listened to the story and did some reading comprehension exercises at the same time."
"uh-huh."
Hongli did not comment. She looked at the sloth hanging upside down on the branch, speechless.
"How do I deal with it? Once I wake up, it will start emitting aura again."
"You said it, kill it."
"Oh, then you do it."
"Why don't you do it?"
"I'm too lazy to do it."
"What a coincidence."
Heiyang stretched out his hand expressionlessly, wrapped the sloth with gentle spiritual power, and shook his head.
"I'm too lazy to do it, let's take it away first..."
"After you took me away?"
"Find a place to bury him alive."
"Truth or lies."
"What do you say?"
"Tsk, tsk."
"Xiaoyang? Xiaoli? The meal is almost ready! Come and eat!
Well, really, where have these two kids gone to play again... If you don't come, there will be no place for you two!"
"Hey! Mom, here it is, here it is!"
Heiyang Hongli quickly jumped off the branch of the giant tree.
"We're here! Save two seats!"
"..."
When you travel through the worlds, and see a group of vicious demons staring at you with ill intentions, your eyes will...

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 282 When moving towards something you like and admire, every step of preparation will make you happy
In terms of scale alone, the family dinner at my grandfather's house was even more lively than the previous dinner at Yang Li's house.
Of course, if it were the Wu Se family back then, the scale of that family banquet would be so grand that not only would the secular royal family be able to enjoy it, but even many people in the cultivation world would be envious and want to sneak in for a free meal. That was the most glorious time for the Wu Se family.
It's just that the Wu Se family is now in decline. Although a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, after so many years of prosperity, the Wu Se family has already spread throughout the entire travel world. If you really want to count them one by one, it will definitely be a huge project.
Not to mention that many branches can no longer be traced. Some surnames have been changed, some family trees have been lost, and some have even disappeared without any descendants.
But if we really talk about the orthodox ones, there are only a few families like Heiyang in Wuse City, plus some people in the royal capital, and then there is nothing else.
On the contrary, the Lan family, which is not a very big family, has grown from nothing to something in the past hundred years, and its scale is actually larger than that of the Wu Se family alone!
There were about a hundred people in total, and there were more than a dozen tables. They were customarily seated according to seniority, a tradition passed down many years ago.
It is said that there are many reasons, but as they are gradually eliminated, there is only one key reason left: people of the same generation will not be so restrained when eating together, and everyone can be happy.
Heiyang Hongli felt nervous in front of her elders. In fact, most younger generations felt the same way when meeting their elders, and the elders knew it.
With grandma and grandpa being the oldest, the two elders were at one table, surrounded by their children - except for a little red-headed kid who somehow got in!
Mom Lan Yuying was naturally also at that table, while dad Hong Xiaochen was sent to the table with his eldest uncle and second uncle. A bunch of old men raised their glasses and drank happily.
As for Heiyang and Hongli, who were the youngest among them, they sat at the same table with the other six people of the same generation.
The couple Heiyang and Hongli were not very conspicuous, because besides them, there were two couples at the table, one big and one small.
The younger couple was a cousin who was two years younger than Hongli, and they brought their girlfriends to the party.
The older pair was a cousin who was one year older than Hongli. Like Hongli, she came with a man.
However, the couple has been married for more than two years and they carry their child with them. Hongli's eyelids twitched when she looked at her cousin's bulging belly.
She glanced at Heiyang next to her, then looked at her cousin, and her heart hissed softly, and she couldn't help shivering.
As for the other two, Chunchun the little brat, Hongli and Heiyang were leaning against each other. On the left of Hongli was her six-year-old cousin, and on the right of Heiyang was her eight-year-old cousin.
Although they are young, they are of the same generation as Heiyang and Hongli. Their parents think they can take care of themselves, so they let them sit at a separate table.
But my mother Lan Yuying also told me to keep an eye on the two children and not to worry about anything else, but to help others if there are any problems.
There were a few little kids of the same generation as Xiaohuo, but they were very few and could not sit at a table alone. Except for Xiaohuo who sat at his grandfather's table, the other kids were all accompanied by their parents.
Well, how should I put it. Although their little fire can sing, dance, fly, act cute, talk sweetly, and fight, and has some things in his head that Hongli regards as waste, he is really less than one year old and is still a baby...
Heiyang Hongli simply chose to ignore it, picked up the juice in front of him expressionlessly, took a sip, and felt refreshed!
Ahem, they both enjoyed it, but the two little kids next to them were drooling at the sight.
Their parents said it was cold and drinking juice might cause a cold, so they gave each of them a glass of boiled water...
Tsk tsk, he looked so pitiful and in so much pain that Heiyang Hongli couldn't bear it and quickly drank up the juice in the cup.
Well, this way the children can’t see it. They are such good brothers and sisters!
As for giving them the drink, Heiyang Hongli are not their parents. What would they do if they really got sick from drinking?
Well, they can use their spiritual power to help resist the drinking so that they don’t get stomach upset.
But what if the child has a stomachache for other reasons when the child gets home or after a day or two, the first thing the parents think of is "Did the juice get cold?" Even if they don't say it, they will feel uncomfortable.
In the end, Heiyang and Hongli were not only doing a thankless job, but also had to take the blame. Why bother?
