How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Black Sun, shut up!"

Hongli skillfully silenced her boyfriend, then incredulously revealed a look of boundless enthusiasm.

"Now, let's head to our future new home location, let's go!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 256 Whenever it's time to eat or sleep, I temporarily forget my troubles and focus on recovering my health and mana.

"Mmm, mmm, delicious, delicious!"

Xingyun buried her head in the bowl, making happy sounds.

"Auntie is amazing! She can even cook bitter dishes! Hongli is so lucky to have been able to eat Auntie's cooking since she was a child! No wonder she insisted on coming back!"

"Hey, slow down, eat slowly. If it's delicious, eat more. Nobody's going to take it from you."

Lan Yuying smiled as she looked at the three girls in the room. In addition to Hei Hui and Hong Qiao, who often liked to come here to play, there was also a little girl with blue hair.

The little girl's name is Xingyun. She seems to be from Wuguo City. Xiaoli mentioned this little girl to her after she came back. She seems to be a very interesting little girl.

She was thinking of meeting him someday, but unexpectedly, Qiaoqiao and the others pulled her over.

"Xiao Li said that Xiao Yun is the best friend she made in the sect. She is cute, well-behaved, hardworking and sensible."

"Eh!? Cough cough! Choking, choking... cough cough!"

Xingyun pounded her chest in pain. A glass of water was handed to her on the table, which she quickly took and drank, finally feeling better.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Xingyun let out a long sigh, scratched her head, and gave an embarrassed smile: "I was so surprised to hear that!"

"You're welcome."

Lan Yuying waved her hand, shook her head, and chuckled.

"That's why you can't eat too fast!"

"Ha, that's not important, you won't die, hahaha!"

Xingyun uttered terrifying words and laughed, "I'm so surprised, Sister Hongli actually said that about me? Hehehe."

"Yes, that's what Xiaoli said."

Lan Yuying smiled and refilled the glass, sighing, "Sometimes, I really think Xiao Li is so lucky. She always manages to meet amazing people."

Haha, although she doesn't think so herself, always feeling like she's unlucky... I think she's taking her good fortune for granted!

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated..."

Xingyun blushed and said shyly, "I... I didn't say it was as good as I thought, hehehe."

"Do you still want to eat?"

"May I!?"

"uh-huh."

"Another bowl, please! Thank you!"

"Okay, Auntie will go get it for you."

.........

"Gaga, look..."

Hei Hui pointed to the words in the "Early Childhood Literacy Primer" and taught him carefully.

"Repeat after me, this word, pronounced 'hei'!"

"Gah! Black—"

"No more, keep going, white..."

"Gah! White—"

"I said no more! Keep going, gah... ptooey, red!"

"..."

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle."

Hong Qiao fiddled with the wine glass on the table, frowning as she asked, "Can drinking really drown your sorrows? Does it even work?"

"It's useless, it's useless, children shouldn't touch it."

Hong Xiaochen waved his hand and took the wine glass back, unable to help but complain, "If your dad knew I made you drink, he'd probably come and turn against my brother with a gun!"

"Tsk tsk, you should stay away from this stuff. Learn from your sister Hongli; she never touches this kind of thing."

“Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli is so happy every day, she doesn’t need this…”

Hong Qiao sighed, propped her arm on the table, and looked bewildered.

"Second Uncle, what do you think I should do? There are some things I can't do, but I really want to do them. Is there no other way for someone without talent but to keep trying?"

"Yes, I have."

Hong Xiaochen poured himself half a glass of wine, took a small sip with a contented look, and laughed, "It all comes down to luck!"

"Second Uncle—"

Hong Qiao pouted: "That's the same as not saying anything at all!"

"Hmm, you think my language is too crude?"

Hong Xiaochen chuckled and said, "Then let's put it another way: it depends on fate."

"Oh dear, those are elusive and intangible. Are there any more?"

"Yes, there are plenty. It depends on others' help, your own efforts, your ability to seize opportunities, and a flash of inspiration..."

"What if you can't do these things either?"

"Then what makes you think you're better than them?"

Hong Xiaochen said leisurely, "What, just by working hard?"

"Yes!"

So just do your best!

"But……"

Hong Qiao frowned, confused, and asked, "How did we end up back here again?"

"Because there is nothing new in the world, if you do your best within the scope of what you can control, no one can criticize or blame you."

Hong Xiaochen gently put down her wine glass, revealing a helpless smile: "You're just putting pressure on yourself."

"I'm serious, if Xiaoli and Xiaoyang were half as ambitious as you, wow, that would be amazing!"

"Second Uncle, are you saying that my older brother and sister have wasted their talents?"

"I didn't say that; it was just a hypothetical situation."

Hong Xiaochen sighed, his expression full of meaning.

"Climbing that high isn't necessarily a good thing. It's fine as it is now. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Caring too much about other people's feelings will make you lose yourself."

"..."

"If all else fails, go find Xiao Li and Xiao Yang."

Hong Xiaochen chuckled and shifted the blame, saying, "They know far more about cultivation than I do. Let them teach you; maybe you'll get the hang of it."

"Hmm, is that so..."

"..."

"Oh, thank you so much, I'm very full."

Xingyun slumped in the chair with a satisfied look on her face, patting her round little belly, with an expression that said she had no regrets in this life.

"Ah, Sister Hongli is so lucky! I'm so full, I don't want to move, I just want to sleep... Hmm, I'm going to sleep after eating, I'm turning into a little pig!"

"You're not as cute as a pig."

Lan Yuying smiled and waved to Hei Huiga: "Come and have something to eat if you're tired of studying. And over there, Hong Xiaochen, can you please stop drinking? You reek of alcohol. Aren't you afraid the kids will avoid you?"

"Gah, ga ga, here we come!"

"Gah. Gah gah pui... Blackie is here!"

"Gaga, you have to try this! Let me tell you, Aunt Yuying's twice-cooked pork rice is delicious!"

"Hui, Aunt Hui, eat!"

Watching Gaga and Hei Hui happily eating their meal, Xingyun tilted her head, a faint smile on her face.

"That's great, that's great..."

Xingyun turned to look at Lan Yuying, who had sat down to eat, and said softly, "Auntie?"

"Ok?"
