How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Uh, sorry."

The sales clerk responded with an awkward but polite smile: "Customer information is confidential and cannot be disclosed casually."

"Do not!!!"

Hongli covered her head with her hands, as if struck by a bolt from the blue: "This was the last one! I spent the whole afternoon running around the city, and this is the result? This is too much!"

Hongli walked out of the store in a daze, moving aimlessly down the street like a zombie: "What to do, what to do..."

"Mom~"

Little Fire nestled on Hong Li's head and whispered cautiously, "Don't be sad. Even though you can't win over Dad with your cooking skills anymore, you still have Little Fire by your side. Little Fire will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die!"

"!"

Hongli suddenly raised her head, grasped Xiaohuo in both hands, and placed it in front of her. Xiaohuo returned her sweet smile: "That's right, I still have you, Xiaohuo! Thank you, it's so good to have you by my side, waaaah!"

"Hehe, even Mom was moved to tears. Xiao Huo is indeed very filial."

Little Fire exclaimed happily, "Even though I've lost my dad, I still have Little Fire!"

"Yes! That's so right!"

Hongli's eyes filled with tears: "Although the Snow Mountain Pigeon is gone, there is still Little Fire. You are truly my savior and great benefactor!"

"Hehe, I'm so embarrassed by Mom's praise... Wait a minute..."

Little Fire's smile froze: "Gone... Snow Mountain Pigeon? But... there's still Little Fire?"

"What, what do you mean? Mom, explain clearly! Don't look at Xiao Huo like that, Xiao Huo is scared!"

"Don't be afraid, dear child."

Hongli gently stroked Xiaohuo: "You don't know how much potential you have that hasn't been developed yet. Mom will make the most of you!"

"Developing potential... I don't mean developing dishes, do I...?"

Little Fire looked aggrieved: "Mommy, Little Fire is afraid of pain..."

"Honey, trust your mother, the pain will subside soon."

Hong Li's eyes gleamed with a strange green light: "Just for a moment, Mom will be very gentle..."

"No!"

Don't you feel sorry for your mother?!

"Reject outdated and blind filial piety; children are not a bonus for their parents!"

"Waaaaah, what you said makes so much sense, but I don't want the plan to fail..."

"Mom, you have to look forward, life is more than just... Hey? Mom has some fellow disciples over there!"

"Don't change the subject. Is it strange that there are fellow disciples in Five Elements City? I don't know any of them."

Hong Li didn't even bother to turn her head: "Among those of my classmates, which one of them could have successfully descended the mountain in this timeframe like your mother did?"

They probably haven't even hatched their spirit beast eggs yet!

But then again, I think it would be better for Xingyun to stay on the mountain.

After all, the shops run by the senior students on the mountain only know how to trick her into becoming a member. If she goes down the mountain... ugh, I'm afraid she'll get tricked into providing membership services to those shops!

"Wow, Mom, what are you saying?!"

Little Fire wriggled its body and skillfully slipped out of Hong Li's hand. Despite how fierce her mother sounded, she didn't dare to hold her too tightly, afraid of hurting her.

After repeated attempts and tests, Xiao Huo has discovered that his mother is a master of empty talk, with a wealth of theoretical knowledge but almost zero practical experience.

She dares to say that right now, her mother is scheming all sorts of ways to get her father over, and if they actually meet, she'll probably be too nervous to even mention it!

Climbing onto Hongli's shoulder, Xiaohuo tried to turn Hongli's neck with its wings: "Look, look, look behind you, they're coming towards Mommy!"

"what……"

Hong Li expressionlessly tore off the wings on her face: "No matter how hard you try to twist my neck, I can't rotate my head 180 degrees unless you want me to die."

"Oh no, that's not it."

Little Fire exclaimed urgently, "They're really coming! They've started running, and they've even opened their arms, trying to hug you!"

"Ok?"

Feeling a strong gust of wind behind her, Hong Li's pupils contracted. A thug?!

Hongli covered her chest with one hand, turned around suddenly, and the red-tasseled spear slid from behind her back into her hand, the tip of the spear pointing at the newcomer.

"Ah this..."

Hei Xiaoqi's arms, which were about to embrace Hong Li, suddenly froze, and then she slowly raised them: "Heroine, spare my life! Surrender and I will not be killed!"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Hei Xiaolong slowly walked over from behind, looked at his older sister who had been subdued in an instant, and revealed his crescent-shaped eyes: "I told you to pretend you didn't see Sister Hongli and run for your life, but you didn't listen."

"So, now you know how terrifying she is, right?"

"Aha?"

Hongli was stunned for a moment, then quickly sheathed her spear, expertly tightening her belt and slinging it back over her shoulder: "Sister Xiaoqi, and... Heiyang's tagalong?"

"Hey! I'm not a tagalong!"

Hei Xiaolong couldn't help but retort, "Even if that's the case, he's still my brother's little shadow!"

Hongli: "..."

This kid is hopeless; he's still the same as before after all these years.

With a sigh, Hong Li casually took the little fire off her shoulder and scratched the other's little belly: "So, why are you here? And why did you launch a surprise attack on me?"

"What attack?"

Hei Xiaoqi stomped her foot and stretched out her arms: "I just want to hug you!"

"Ah, okay, okay."

Hongli sighed and hugged Hei Xiaoqi: "It's my fault, it's my fault."

"Tch, my older sister's coquettishness is disgusting."

Hei Xiaolong turned his head and whispered to the person behind him, "You agree, right, the cold wave?"

"Ah, aha, whatever Longlong says is right!"

A small blue ball "flowed" out from Hei Xiaolong's neck, bounced twice and grew a little bigger, shook twice and flattened again, and finally turned into a flat creature with a wingspan of nearly six meters. Water vapor surrounded it and dragged it in the air: "Hello, Sister Hongli, I am Hanliu!"

Name: Cold Current

Race: Flying Fish of the Ice Sea

Realm: Qi Refining Level 5

Identity: Water elemental beast of the Five Elements Sect, contracted spirit beast of Hei Xiaolong, a prospective inner disciple.

"Oh ho."

The chill emanating from the Flying Fish of the Ice Sea made Hong Li shiver involuntarily. It wasn't that she was physically weak, but rather that she was naturally somewhat afraid of the cold.

"I understand, so that's why you were able to escape, right, Xiaoqi?"

Hong Li glanced at Hei Xiaoqi, who was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good to be an older sister, you can even order your younger brother around."

"She can't boss me around."

Hei Xiaolong retorted, "I only came down the mountain because I had something to do, and I just brought her along."

"Yes, yes, Xiaolong is the best."

Hei Xiaoqi pointed at Hei Xiaolong with a perfunctory expression: "He is preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and wants me to observe and learn from him up close."

However, it seems that condensing a Foundation Establishment divine power requires some kind of crystal, which requires a trip to the snowy mountains in the north, so they dragged me along as well.

"Snow-capped mountains?!"

Hong Li raised an eyebrow, automatically recognizing the keyword: "You're going to the snow mountain?"

"Yup!"

Hei Xiaolong patted the Flying Fish of the Ice Sea beside him: "With the help of the cold current, we can reach the snowy region in the north in half a day. We don't need to go deep. As long as we find a few pieces of Xuanbing Crystal, I am confident that I can condense a Earth-level divine ability as the foundation for my foundation building! Do you know what this means?"

"This means..."

Hongli nodded and said seriously, "I can hitch a ride now!"

"Huh?" *2

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 93's title doesn't need to be too fancy, just practical, like this chapter's title.

"Snow-capped mountains! Snow-capped mountains! Snow-capped mountains!"

High in the sky, on the back of the flying fish in the icy sea, Hong Li kept muttering to herself.
