How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

[Hong Li: It's a deal!]

[Black Sun: Deal!]

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 33 Black Sun, Never Surrender!

"It should be this one."

Hei Yang frowned and pulled a novel from the bookshelf: "It doesn't look very new. There's a leaf bookmark on page forty-something, and then..."

[Hei Yang: Is it called "The Rag Doll in the Mass Grave"?]

[Hongli: Yes, yes, this is it! I've been thinking about the plot, and the key is that it's just reached a minor climax, it's really exciting!]

[Black Sun: Ah, I see. Well then, watch carefully, I'm about to tell you: hanging from the branches of that giant tree...]

[Hongli: Stop, stop, stop! Who told you to start talking now!]

[Black Sun: Huh? That wasn't what you said...]

[Hongli: I told you to tell me what happens next, not now! I've already seen the exciting part, can't you at least wait until I finish watching this part?]

[Hei Yang: I rushed out in a panic, then hurried to your house without even saying hello, heading straight for your study, and you tell me there's no rush?]

[Hongli: Ah, so you sprinted all the way here. No wonder you were so fast. I thought you were just playing at my house.]

[Hei Yang: Stop with the nonsense, give me a straight answer and tell me the exact time.]

[Hongli: Hmm, how about tonight? Read it to me before bed, the atmosphere will be just right then.]

[Black Sun: ...]

[Hei Yang: Okay, then I won't go home tonight. I'll just sleep in your study. There's a bed here too...]

[Hong Li: !]

[Hongli: No way! Bringing the book home is the same thing, isn't it?]

[Black Sun: Uh, you're right.]

[Hongli: Right? And sleeping in your own bed is definitely more comfortable than sleeping in the study, isn't it?]

[Black Sun: That's true.]

[Hongli: So, hurry up and go home. Don't linger in my study; you'll pollute its cultural atmosphere.]

[Hei Yang: Give me a break, these are all just idle books. You're trying to talk to me about cultural atmosphere?]

[Black Sun: Wait, aren't you a little too tense, huh?]

[Hongli: What's there to be nervous about? If you want to sleep in my study, then go ahead. I was just trying to be helpful, but you don't appreciate it.]

[Hei Yang: Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong. I was judging others by my own petty standards.]

[Hongli: Haha, I'll forgive you this time. Go back now.]

[Black Sun: Hmm.]

"Who are you trying to fool!"

Hei Yang sneered. Hong Li's expression was clearly one of extreme nervousness. Did she really think he couldn't tell?

So, why is she so nervous?

Hei Yang locked the door and looked around: "Is it because she's hiding something here that she can't let me see?"

For example, Hongli actually likes reading those domineering CEO novels, but she's been hiding it from me?

"No, no."

Hei Yang shook his head: "What's there to hide? I should think in a more unpredictable direction, for example..."

Hei Yang's eyes widened, his face showing shock: "Could it be that Hong Li is actually a demon cultivator or some kind of evil cultivator?"

She infiltrates among humans, altering our mortal memories to make us believe we know her well, but in reality, she is an alien spy, and this bookstore is her means of contacting her contact.

"As for asking me to move the books on the bookshelf, that's some kind of special code, a warning to the contact person that the plan has changed or something like that..."

Hei Yang's imagination ran wild as he carefully observed the surrounding area for any hidden mechanisms or secret passages, but he found nothing.

It looked just like an ordinary study, except that there was always a sweet smell of milk in the air. Hei Yang knew that Hong Li liked to read while holding a cup of milk, so the smell was probably left after she accidentally spilled it.

But then again, wouldn't Hongli be unaccustomed to not having milk to drink at the Five Elements Sect?

"No, why would I want to think about this?"

Hei Yang shook his head, pondering seriously: "Study, study, sleep..."

Suddenly, Hei Yang's eyes lit up, and he walked straight to the bed in the corner of the study and gently knocked on it.

"really!"

The sound startled Hei Yang. He reached out and groped around, and sure enough, he found something that looked like a mechanism. He gently pulled it.

"click"

The bed board suddenly split in the middle, revealing stacks of books inside, neatly arranged in order!

"hiss!"

Hei Yang gasped, "What is it? A ledger of dark transactions? A list of criminal records? Or intelligence gathered by demons from the human world? Or perhaps a code-breaking book?"

In an instant, Hong Li's image became mysterious in Hei Yang's mind.

Having known each other for so long, Hei Yang thought he knew Hong Li inside and out, but he really didn't know that there was a mechanism under her bed in her study!

Upon opening the first book in the top left corner, Hei Yang's pupils instantly contracted: "Ah...this is..."

I hid away, not wanting to play with those other children. I thought they were noisy, disruptive, and mischievous; everyone seemed to be showing off.

The old lady who sells juice in the city is always cheerful, and I love drinking her juice the most.

But I forgot my money, and I didn't want to trouble the old lady, so I felt a little bad. I actually had money, but it was at home, so I decided to run back anyway.

I met a boy who was three days older than me. He was different from the other children; he seemed very quiet, but his expressionless face looked quite intimidating, so I didn't dare to go up and talk to him.

【…】

I spoke up! I was so brave! I asked the older boy what he was doing, and he said he was writing in his diary.

What is a diary? He said it's writing down things that have happened so as not to forget who you are.

I don't quite understand what he meant, but it sounds interesting. I've already learned to write a lot of words, should I try it too...?

I want to write down everything that has happened in the past five years since I was born, but I can only think of things from a few days ago.

I'm so forgetful, I'm afraid I might forget something important.

【…】

【…】

It's Chinese New Year, and my mother says it's a joyous occasion, but I don't like it because adults always rank children on this day.

If you can't compare to other children, you won't be criticized immediately, but you'll be scolded when you get home.

I ran away, but I quickly regretted it because the city is so big, and I was worried that there might be bad people there.

I met that guy, and well, he kidnapped me. (Later I realized I used the word "kidnapped" incorrectly.)

This year was so much fun! I turned six, and my older brother turned six too!

Hmm, I remember his name is Hei Yang. It's true what they say, if you write it down, you won't forget it. I'll keep remembering it from now on.

"Ah this..."

Pick up another book and open it.

My mom says I've become lazy lately, but Heiyang said it's a more comfortable way of life, and I think he's right.

【…】

Hot milk tastes just as good as juice!

【…】

Haha, it's funny that Hei Yang can't drink. I, on the other hand...

Hmm, and then I have no memory of what happened in between. How did I get home? My head hurts so much… I'll stop here for today.

……

Open another book.

[Dad asked me if I had a crush on the boy from the Black family. I said I liked playing with him. Dad seemed to have something else in mind, but in the end, he didn't say it.]

……

Ah, next one.

The old lady didn't come to sell juice today. Everyone said she's passed away because she's very old. But what does "passed away" mean?

【…】

So, "not seeing" means never seeing me again? I hid from my parents and cried secretly, but Hei Yang saw me.
